[0031] See Figures 1 to 9 This utility model discloses a nuclear power plant inspection robot system, including a nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10 and a nuclear power plant inspection robot 20.
[0032] In some embodiments, the nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10 is generally a flat cuboid structure. The nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10 may include a housing 11, which has a first surface 11a and a second surface 11b facing away from each other along a first direction. A first wireless charging device is disposed within the housing 11, comprising a connected first charging coil and a first circuit board. The first wireless charging device is positioned close to the first surface 11a. A mounting bracket 12 is provided on the second surface 11b, and the mounting bracket 12 is detachably connected to the second surface 11b, for example, by bolts or screws. The mounting bracket 12 is used to mount on a longitudinal beam or a vertical support frame, or it can be mounted on the wall of the nuclear power plant building. Alternatively, the mounting bracket 12 may be generally a U-shaped structure, with its two ends fixed to the upper and lower ends of the housing 11 respectively, to improve the installation stability of the housing 11.
[0033] The outer casing 11 is provided with detection sensors 13 connected to the first circuit board at both ends along the second direction, and the detection end of the detection sensor 13 is arranged facing the robot body 21. The first direction of this application can be the width direction of the nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10, and the second direction of this application can be the length direction of the nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10.
[0034] In some embodiments, the housing 11 is further provided with a power input interface 14 connected to the first circuit board, the power input interface 14 being used to connect to mains power or other ground power supply systems. The first circuit board may be a power supply board, which may be a PCBA board. In some embodiments, a power supply battery may also be provided inside the housing 11, the power supply battery being connected to the first circuit board.
[0035] In some embodiments, the detection sensor 13 can be used to detect the relative position of the robot body 21 and the nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10. When the charging position is reached, the nuclear power plant inspection robot 20 performs wireless charging to ensure that the nuclear power plant inspection robot 20 is charged normally, which can improve charging accuracy and charging efficiency.
[0036] In some embodiments, the detection sensor 13 includes an ultrasonic ranging sensor. In some embodiments, the detection sensor 13 includes an electro-optical ranging sensor.
[0037] In some embodiments, the nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10 may also be defined as a nuclear power plant inspection robot charging pile.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 ,as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the nuclear power plant inspection robot 20 includes a robot body 21, which is used to connect to the track or gantry of the nuclear power plant. The robot body 21 is provided with a second wireless charging device 22, which includes a connected second charging coil and a second circuit board, and also includes a battery 23 connected to the second circuit board. The second charging coil is used to be arranged opposite to the first charging coil.
[0039] Understandably, wireless charging is a technology that transmits electrical energy to a device without using wires or physical connectors. In this application, the first wireless charging device can serve as a transmitter, and the second wireless charging device 22 can serve as a receiver. The first wireless charging device and the second wireless charging device 22 can employ existing wireless charging technologies, and no specific limitations are made here.
[0040] In some embodiments, the side area of the robot body 21 facing the nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10 is larger than the area of the first surface 11a of the nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10. The detection sensor 13 can be used to detect the relative position of the robot body 21 and the nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10. When the charging position is reached, the nuclear power plant inspection robot 20 performs wireless charging to ensure that the nuclear power plant inspection robot 20 is charged normally, which can improve charging accuracy and charging efficiency.
[0041] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the nuclear power plant inspection robot 20 also includes an inspection mechanism 24 connected to the robot body 21. The inspection mechanism 24 includes a gimbal mount 241 connected to the bottom of the robot body 21, and at least two gimbal cameras 242 mounted on the gimbal mount 241.
[0042] In some embodiments, at least two of the gimbal cameras 242 are rotatably connected to the gimbal mount 241. For example... Figure 9 As shown, the gimbal mounting base 241 is equipped with a drive shaft 243, the two ends of which can be connected to the gimbal camera 242. The drive shaft 243 can be driven by a drive motor in conjunction with a gear transmission mechanism, etc. The rotation technology can adopt existing rotation technology, and no specific limitation is made here. Of course, the gimbal camera 242 can also be fixedly mounted on the gimbal mounting base 241.
[0043] In some embodiments, at least two of the gimbal cameras 242 include an optical zoom visible light gimbal camera and / or a fixed-focus infrared dual-spectrum gimbal camera. For example, one gimbal camera 242 is an optical zoom visible light gimbal camera, and the other gimbal camera 242 is a fixed-focus infrared dual-spectrum gimbal camera; no specific limitation is made here.
[0044] Understandably, the nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10 can be used to charge the nuclear power plant inspection robot 20. The detection sensor 13 of the nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10 can be used to detect the relative position of the robot body 21 of the nuclear power plant inspection robot 20 and the nuclear power plant inspection robot charging device 10. When the charging position is reached, the nuclear power plant inspection robot 20 performs wireless charging to ensure that the nuclear power plant inspection robot 20 is charged normally, which can improve the charging accuracy and charging efficiency.
