DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] As Figures 1 to 6 The track type water hose laying robot includes a track type walkable robot body 1, and a pipe clamp 2 is installed on the robot body 1, wherein the track type walkable robot body 1 can adopt any structure form in the prior art, and only needs to be capable of carrying the pipe clamp 2 to walk with the pipe clamp 2, and it needs to be particularly pointed out that the core improvement point of the utility model is the pipe clamp 2, therefore, the structure form of the robot body 1 is not specially limited, and the walking function can be realized; for example, the robot body 1 includes a track chassis 113, and a track 112 is installed on the track chassis 113.

[0038] As Figures 7 to 12 The pipe clamp 2 includes a fixed clamping arm 21, a clamping clamping arm 22, a clamping element 23, a mounting bracket 24 and a clamp 25, the mounting bracket 24 is fixedly installed at one end of the robot body 1 in a bolt fastening or the like mode, the fixed clamping arm 21 and the clamping clamping arm 22 are installed in parallel on the mounting bracket 24, the clamping element 23 is installed between the fixed clamping arm 21 and the clamping clamping arm 22, a sliding groove is arranged on the mounting bracket 24 and used for sliding of the clamping clamping arm 22, the clamping clamping arm 22 is driven by the clamping element 23 to be close to or away from the fixed clamping arm 21, and two clamps 25 are rotatably installed at outer end portions of the fixed clamping arm 21 and the clamping clamping arm 22 respectively, and a clamp rotating driving device is arranged on the fixed clamping arm 21.

[0039] Specifically, the clamping element 23 is a clamping oil cylinder, and a hydraulic pump group on the robot body 1 provides hydraulic power for the clamping oil cylinder.

[0040] The specific shape of the clamp 25 is matched with the head of the water hose, and the head of the water hose can be clamped into the clamp 25.

[0041] When the hose needs to be rolled, the operator first clamps the head of the hose on the clamp 25 on the side of the fixed clamp arm 21 of the hose rolling clamp 2, then rotates the clamp 25 on the side of the clamping clamp arm 22 to align it with the hose head, and then clamps the hose head by the clamping element 23 so that the clamping clamp arm 22 clamps the hose head, and then drives the clamp 25 to rotate by the clamp rotating drive device to perform the hose rolling operation.

[0042] Preferably, in order to further improve the application range of the robot, the mounting frame 24 is arranged in a position-adjustable structure on the robot body 1, for example, the mounting frame 24 is mounted on the robot body 1 by the luffing oil cylinder 28. When the hose needs to be rolled, the luffing action of the mounting frame 24 is first completed by the luffing oil cylinder 28 to find a suitable hose clamping position, and then the hose head clamping operation is performed after the suitable position is preliminarily found.

[0043] Further, in order to facilitate manual rotation of the clamping clamp arm 22, a hand wheel 27 is fixedly connected to the outside of the clamp 25 on the side of the clamping clamp arm 22.

[0044] Further, the clamp rotating drive device is a hydraulic motor 26, the input end of the hydraulic motor 26 is connected with the hydraulic pump set on the robot body 1, and the output end of the hydraulic motor 26 is fixedly connected with one end of the clamp 25.

[0045] In order to prevent deviation during hose rolling, hose limiting rollers 29 are arranged on the inner sides of the fixed clamp arm 21 and the clamping clamp arm 22, respectively. The main component of the hose limiting roller 29 is a rotatable pipe. On the one hand, the pipe limits the boundary of the hose, and on the other hand, the pipe itself can rotate to greatly reduce the friction between the hose and the pipe.

[0046] The above-mentioned clamping oil cylinder, hydraulic motor 26 and luffing oil cylinder 28 all need hydraulic oil as power, and therefore, a hydraulic pump set for providing hydraulic power is arranged on the robot body 1.

[0047] Specifically, the hydraulic pump set includes a hydraulic pump 11 driven by an engine 12, the hydraulic pump 11 and the engine 12 are fixedly installed on the robot body 1, and a fuel tank 13 for supplying oil to the engine is also arranged on the robot body 1. An outer decorative cover 14 is installed on the robot body 1, the hydraulic pump 11, the engine 12 and the fuel tank 13 are arranged in the outer decorative cover 14, a work lighting lamp 15 is arranged on the outer decorative cover 14, and a storage battery 16 for supplying power to the work lighting lamp 15 is arranged on the robot body 1.

[0048] A hydraulic oil tank 114, a hydraulic oil filter 115, a hydraulic valve set 117 and a hydraulic oil radiator 118 matched with the hydraulic pump set are also fixedly installed on the robot body 1.

[0049] In addition, the outer cover 14 is also provided with a rainproof cap 17, an emergency stop switch 18, an electrical control box 19, a muffler 110, a muffler heat shield 111, a power supply master switch 116 and other supporting components.

[0050] The tracked water hose laying robot is composed of a tracked chassis, a power assembly, a hydraulic system, an electrical control system, a pipe winding mechanism and an outer cover.

[0051] In another specific embodiment,

[0052] The tracked chassis is driven by a hydraulic motor, which is powered by a hydraulic pump, and the power assembly drives the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic system is composed of a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic valve group, a hydraulic oil tank, a hydraulic oil filter, a hydraulic oil radiator and a work execution mechanism. The work execution mechanism is composed of a pitch cylinder responsible for pitching, a clamping cylinder responsible for complex clamping action, and a pipe winding motor responsible for pipe winding rotation. The power assembly is composed of an engine, a muffler, a fuel tank and a muffler shield. The electrical system is composed of a battery, a work light, a power supply master switch, an emergency stop and an electrical control box. The pipe winding mechanism is composed of a water hose limiting pipe, a water hose pipe winding clamp and a hand wheel.

[0053] The engine of the power assembly provides rotary power to drive the hydraulic pump to rotate. When the tracked chassis needs to move, the hydraulic pump provides power to the tracked chassis through the hydraulic pipe to complete the forward, backward and turning actions.

[0054] When the pipe needs to be wound, the pitch action of the pipe winding arm is completed by controlling the hydraulic solenoid valve, and the appropriate pipe clamping position is found. When the appropriate position is found, the operator places the first end of the water hose on the non-hand wheel side of the water hose pipe winding clamp, and rotates the hand wheel side to align with the water hose head, and then controls the clamping action through the system to complete the clamping of the water hose head.

[0055] When winding the pipe, the hydraulic solenoid valve is controlled by the control system to make the pipe winding motor rotate, and the water hose head is rotated by the water hose pipe winding clamp, so as to drive the water hose to retract.

[0056] The height of the arm can be controlled by the pitch cylinder through the control system to find the appropriate height. During the winding of the water hose, the water hose limiting pipe plays a role in protecting the water hose.

[0057] The tracked water hose laying robot optimizes the design of the pipe winding clamp, including the precise cooperation of the fixed clamping arm, the clamping arm, the clamping element and the clamp and other components, to realize the rapid and accurate clamping and releasing of the water hose. Not only simplifies the operation process, but also significantly improves the laying and recovery speed of the water hose, thereby greatly improving the work efficiency.
