Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of warehousing and logistics technology, and in particular to a warehouse overhead rail inspection device. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as industrial inspection and warehouse monitoring, rail-mounted mobile inspection devices are widely used due to their advantages such as wide coverage and high mobility. Traditional warehouse rail-mounted inspection devices typically use fixed camera structures or mount the camera unit to a mobile base using bolts. However, this type of structure has significant drawbacks: when the camera malfunctions or needs to be replaced or upgraded, maintenance personnel must climb to heights to work and use specialized tools to disassemble the fixing components. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, severely impacting equipment maintenance efficiency and the continuity of inspections.

[0003] In recent years, although some improved solutions have proposed modular camera designs, most adopt vertical plug-in or rotating snap-fit ​​connection methods. These structures are prone to loosening during high-speed movement or frequent lifting and lowering of the hanging rail device, leading to a decrease in camera positioning accuracy. Furthermore, existing detachable structures often have blind spots in the docking process, making rapid alignment and installation impossible, especially in narrow hanging rail scenarios where the convenience and reliability of disassembly and assembly operations are difficult to guarantee.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a warehouse overhead rail inspection device that combines quick assembly and disassembly with stable connection performance. This device should ensure convenient maintenance of the camera unit while maintaining its structural stability under dynamic operating conditions, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0055] The base 210 is a supporting structure for the upper mounting assembly 200, used to fix the controller and the traveling mechanism 220. The controller is responsible for receiving commands, controlling the movement of the traveling mechanism 220 and the lifting mechanism 500, and processing the image data acquired by the camera unit. The traveling mechanism 220 is used to drive the base 210 to slide along the hanging rail.

[0056] The lower mounting base 300 is connected to the base 210 via a lifting mechanism 500 and is used to mount the camera unit. The bottom of the lower mounting base 300 is provided with a sliding groove 310 for quick assembly and disassembly of the camera unit.

The image acquisition unit 410 can be a high-definition camera or an infrared thermal imager, used to acquire image data. The docking part 420 cooperates with the sliding groove 310 to achieve quick assembly and disassembly of the camera unit. The sliding groove 310 has an assembly opening for the docking part 420 to move laterally in and out. The docking part 420 is slidably embedded in the sliding groove 310 in the horizontal direction to ensure the stability and reliability of the installation.

[0058] The aforementioned warehouse overhead rail inspection device, through the design of a detachable camera unit 400 and a sliding groove 310, allows the camera unit to be slidably disassembled laterally without tools, achieving rapid assembly and disassembly of the camera unit and improving equipment maintenance efficiency. Simultaneously, the docking part 420 is slidably embedded in the sliding groove 310 in the horizontal direction, ensuring the stability and reliability of the installation, and also guaranteeing the stability of the camera unit during frequent lifting and lowering.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the base 210 is provided with a slide rail groove 211 for sliding engagement with the hanging rail assembly 100. The slide rail groove 211 ensures the smooth movement of the base 210 on the hanging rail.

The scissor lift assembly 510 is connected between the base 210 and the lower mounting base 300, and the drive assembly 520 operably drives the scissor lift assembly 510 to perform telescopic movements. The scissor lift assembly 510 has a compact structure and provides stable lifting.

[0064] The lifting mechanism 500 not only enables the vertical lifting of the camera unit to adapt to shooting needs at different heights, but also features a retractable and folding function. In operation, the lifting mechanism 500 can extend to a predetermined position and remain suspended, allowing the lower camera unit to perform tasks such as data acquisition. In non-operational mode, the lifting mechanism 500 can retract, saving external warehouse space and preventing collisions with surrounding goods.

[0065] See Figure 6 Specifically, the scissor lift assembly 510 includes a first scissor lift 511 and a second scissor lift 512, which are connected to each other through a hinge point. The bottom end of the first scissor lift 511 is slidably engaged with the guide groove 320 on the lower mounting base 300, and the bottom end of the second scissor lift 512 is hinged to the lower mounting base 300.

[0066] The drive assembly 520 includes a first connecting rod 521, a second connecting rod 522, a second motor 523, and a third motor 524.

The dual motors work together to improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the lifting mechanism. At the same time, the second motor 523 and the third motor 524 can be located on one side of the bottom of the base 210 along with the first motor 221, ensuring a compact overall structure of the upper mounting assembly 200.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second transmission assembly 525 includes a second driving wheel 5251 connected to the motor output shaft and a second driven wheel 5253 connected via a second transmission belt 5252.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the lower mounting base 300 is provided with a limiting hole 330 at the assembly opening, and a limiting pin is provided in the limiting hole 330. The limiting pin is used to prevent the mating part 420 from accidentally sliding out of the sliding groove 310, ensuring the safety of the camera unit in the working state.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, the hanging rail assembly 100 includes two parallel fixed hanging rails 110 and a movable hanging rail 120 connected between the two fixed hanging rails 110. The fixed hanging rails 110 are fixed to the roof to ensure the stability and safety of the system. The fixed hanging rails 110 are made of high-strength aluminum alloy, featuring lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. The fixed hanging rails 110 are installed using a splicing method, making installation convenient, and their length can be adjusted according to actual needs. The two ends of the movable hanging rail 120 are movably hung on the fixed hanging rails 110 via pulley assemblies.
