Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of emergency rescue hexapod robots, and in particular to a novel intelligent waterproof device for an emergency rescue hexapod robot. Background Technology

[0002] An emergency rescue hexapod robot is a hexapod robot specifically designed for emergency rescue scenarios. Inspired by the locomotion principles of insects in nature, this robot has six legs, each equipped with multiple servo motors, enabling it to move flexibly in complex and rugged terrain, maintaining balance and stability. It offers significant advantages in the field of emergency rescue, allowing it to perform rescue missions in complex and dangerous environments, reducing casualties and improving rescue efficiency. In typical emergency rescue hexapod robots, after assembling a power source, several mobile arms are mounted on the surface of the robot. These arms facilitate movement, and a gripping arm is connected to the top of the robot for easy grasping of surrounding objects.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that when conventional emergency rescue hexapod robots are used, the rescue environment is relatively complex, and some terrains have water accumulation. As a result, after the robot passes through water accumulation, the surface of the robot body is easily contaminated with a lot of water stains. If it is not wiped dry in time, it can easily cause corrosion to the parts on the surface of the robot body, and even damage the control components inside the robot body.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problem that conventional hexapod robots cannot quickly handle water contact, this application provides a novel intelligent waterproof device for emergency rescue hexapod robots.

[0006] The intelligent waterproof device for a novel emergency rescue hexapod robot provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel intelligent waterproof device for a six-legged emergency rescue robot includes a body and a rotating motor. Several movable arms are rotatably mounted on the surface of the body, divided into two groups symmetrically distributed about the body's axis. A gripping arm is rotatably connected to the top of the body. A fan blade is fixedly mounted on the output end of the rotating motor, and a connecting cylinder is fixedly connected to the surface of the motor. The bottom end of the connecting cylinder is connected to a fixed cylinder, and the bottom end of the fixed cylinder is connected to two air outlet boxes. The bottom end of the rotating motor is electrically connected to one end of the body via a wire. The two air outlet boxes are symmetrically distributed about the fixed cylinder's axis. The dimensions of the bottom end of the connecting cylinder are compatible with the dimensions of the top end of the fixed cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, two control motors are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, and the output end of the control motor is fixedly connected to the surface of the air outlet box.

[0009] Preferably, a shielding net is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting cylinder, and the size and specifications of the shielding net surface are adapted to the size and specifications of the inner wall of the connecting cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed cylinder, and the center of the electric push rod is on the same straight line as the center of the fixed cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, an adjustment motor is fixedly installed on the top of the machine body, and the output end of the adjustment motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electric push rod.

[0012] Preferably, a threaded ring is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed cylinder, the surface of the threaded ring is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting cylinder, and the center of the threaded ring is on the same straight line as the center of the connecting cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, a junction box is fixedly installed on the surface of the fixed cylinder, and a heating ring is fixedly connected to one end of the junction box. The surface of the heating ring is fixedly installed to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder.

[0014] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] 1. By mounting a rotating motor on top of the machine body, with fan blades rotatably connected to the motor's output end, and a connecting cylinder mounted on the surface of the motor, the bottom end of the connecting cylinder is connected to two air outlet boxes via a fixed cylinder. This allows the rotating motor to control the fan blades' rotation after startup, generating airflow that enters the air outlet boxes from the fixed cylinder at the bottom of the connecting cylinder and blows onto the machine body surface from the bottom of the air outlet boxes, drying the areas of the machine body and moving arm that come into contact with the water flow. A control motor is mounted on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, with its output end connected to one end of the air outlet boxes. This allows the control motor to adjust the vertical angle of the airflow from the air outlet boxes, effectively improving the drying effect on the machine body surface. A baffle net is installed on the inner wall of the connecting cylinder to filter the airflow entering the connecting cylinder, preventing external impurities from being sucked into the connecting cylinder. Compared to existing technologies, this significantly improves the waterproof performance of the emergency rescue robot.

[0016] 2. An electric push rod can also be installed at the bottom of the fixed cylinder. This allows for adjustment of the cylinder's height by adjusting its length, facilitating the adjustment of the air outlet box's height. When the device is not in use, the fixed cylinder can be easily lowered, reducing its space requirements. An adjustment motor is installed at the top of the unit, its top fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rod. Starting the motor allows for control of the electric push rod's rotation, adjusting the horizontal angle of the air outlet box within the fixed cylinder, effectively increasing its drying range. A threaded ring is fixedly installed at the top of the fixed cylinder, its surface threaded to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder. This allows for connection between the connecting cylinder and the top of the fixed cylinder, and facilitates disassembly and cleaning of the connecting cylinder after a period of use. A junction box is installed on the surface of the fixed cylinder, with a heating ring at one end. This allows for heating of the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, thereby heating the airflow from the air outlet box and effectively improving the drying effect around the unit. This significantly enhances the overall performance of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —4. This application will be described in further detail.

[0023] This application discloses an intelligent waterproof device for a novel emergency rescue hexapod robot, referring to... Figure 1 - Figure 2The system includes a hexapod robot body 1. During use, after assembling a power supply, several movable arms 2 are mounted on the surface of the body 1. The body 1 controls the movable arms 2 for easy movement. A gripping arm 3 is connected to the top of the body 1, facilitating the gripping of surrounding objects. A rotating motor 4 is mounted above the body 1, with a fan blade 5 rotatably connected to its output end. A connecting cylinder 6 is mounted on the surface of the rotating motor 4, and the bottom of the connecting cylinder 6 is connected to two air outlet boxes 8 via a fixed cylinder 7. After the rotating motor 4 is started, it controls the fan blade 5 to rotate, and the resulting airflow enters the air outlet box 8 from the fixed cylinder 7 at the bottom of the connecting cylinder 6. The airflow from the bottom of the air outlet box 8 blows onto the surface of the body 1, drying the areas where the body 1 and movable arms 2 come into contact with water, effectively improving the waterproof performance of the emergency rescue robot.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 The inner wall of the fixed cylinder 7 is equipped with a control motor 9. The output end of the control motor 9 is connected to one end of the air outlet box 8. The control motor 9 controls the air outlet box 8 to adjust the vertical angle of the air outlet, which effectively improves the drying effect on the surface of the machine body 1. The inner wall of the connecting cylinder 6 is equipped with a baffle net 10. The baffle net 10 filters the airflow entering the connecting cylinder 6, preventing external impurities from being sucked into the connecting cylinder 6.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 4 An electric push rod 11 is installed at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 7. The height of the fixed cylinder 7 is adjusted by adjusting the length of the electric push rod 11, facilitating the adjustment of the height of the air outlet box 8. When the device is not in use, the fixed cylinder 7 can be easily lowered, reducing the space occupied by the device. An adjustment motor 12 is installed on the top of the body 1. The top of the adjustment motor 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rod 11. After the adjustment motor 12 is started, it controls the rotation of the electric push rod 11, thereby adjusting the horizontal angle of the air outlet box 8 inside the fixed cylinder 7, effectively raising the air outlet box. Within the drying range of 8, a threaded ring 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed cylinder 7. The surface of the threaded ring 13 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 6. The connecting cylinder 6 is connected to the top of the fixed cylinder 7 by means of the threaded ring 13. After the device has been used for a period of time, it is convenient to disassemble the connecting cylinder 6 for cleaning. A junction box 15 is installed on the surface of the fixed cylinder 7. A heating ring 14 is installed at one end of the junction box 15. The heating ring 14 is controlled by the junction box 15 to heat the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 7 and heat the airflow blown out of the air box 8, effectively improving the drying effect around the machine body 1.

[0026] The implementation principle of the intelligent waterproof device for a novel emergency rescue hexapod robot in this application embodiment is as follows: A rotating motor 4 is installed above the body 1. The output end of the rotating motor 4 is rotatably connected to a fan blade 5, and a connecting cylinder 6 is installed on the surface of the rotating motor 4. The bottom end of the connecting cylinder 6 is connected to two air outlet boxes 8 via a fixed cylinder 7, so that the fan blade 5 can be controlled to rotate after the rotating motor 4 is started. The resulting airflow enters the air outlet box 8 from the fixed cylinder 7 at the bottom end of the connecting cylinder 6 and blows onto the surface of the body 1 from the bottom end of the air outlet box 8, drying the area where the body 1 and the moving arm 2 are in contact with the water flow. A control motor 9 is installed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 7, and the output end of the control motor 9 is connected to one end of the air outlet box 8, so that the control motor 9 can control the air outlet box 8 to adjust the vertical angle of the airflow, effectively improving the drying effect on the surface of the body 1. A shielding net 10 is installed on the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 6, so that the airflow entering the connecting cylinder 6 can be filtered by the shielding net 10, preventing external impurities from being sucked into the connecting cylinder 6.

[0027] An electric push rod 11 can also be installed at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 7. This allows for adjustment of the height of the fixed cylinder 7 by adjusting its own length, facilitating the adjustment of the height of the air outlet box 8. Furthermore, when the device is not in use, the fixed cylinder 7 can be easily lowered, reducing the space occupied by the device. An adjustment motor 12 is installed on the top of the body 1. The top of the adjustment motor 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rod 11, allowing the electric push rod 11 to rotate after the adjustment motor 12 is started. This adjusts the horizontal angle of the air outlet box 8 inside the fixed cylinder 7, effectively raising the air outlet box 8. Within the drying range, a threaded ring 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed cylinder 7. The surface of the threaded ring 13 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 6, so as to connect the connecting cylinder 6 to the top of the fixed cylinder 7 by means of the threaded ring 13. After the device has been used for a period of time, it is convenient to disassemble the connecting cylinder 6 for cleaning. A junction box 15 is installed on the surface of the fixed cylinder 7. A heating ring 14 is installed at one end of the junction box 15, so as to control the heating ring 14 to heat the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 7 by means of the junction box 15, so as to heat the airflow blown out of the air box 8, effectively improving the drying effect around the machine body 1.
