Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power inspection technology, specifically a power inspection robot. Background Technology
[0002] Power inspection robots are automated devices that integrate multiple sensors, autonomous navigation technology and artificial intelligence algorithms. They are mainly used in the power industry to replace manual labor in substation inspection. They can work in harsh environments such as high temperature, high pressure and strong electromagnetic fields, ensuring the safety of workers, and reducing the labor intensity of manual inspection and improving inspection efficiency.
[0003] They are mainly used in substations and can perform functions such as infrared temperature measurement, meter reading, identification of switching actuators and alarm of abnormal status on the substation equipment. They also provide back-end functions such as real-time uploading of inspection data, data analysis, information display and automatic generation of reports. By using power inspection robots, the inspection efficiency and safety of the power system can be significantly improved.
[0004] When a power inspection robot operates in an indoor power facility space, the indoor power facilities are arranged in a relatively regular order in fixed positions to ensure good power control functions. Ceiling tracks are installed between these orderly arranged facilities so that the suspended power robot can move along a fixed track route and perform multiple efficient inspections of the indoor power facilities. However, the tracks traversed by the power inspection robot are fixed in a fixed position for a long time, and the robot's drive mechanism has a lot of frictional contact with the track. This leads to frictional wear on the track, and frictional debris adheres to the track, greatly increasing the frictional resistance between the power inspection robot and the track, affecting the smoothness of the robot's movement. Therefore, a power inspection robot is proposed to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0027] A power inspection robot includes a control component 1, a telescopic component 2, and a detection component 3. The telescopic component 2 is fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the control component 1, and the detection component 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the telescopic component 2. A track suspension component 4 is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the control component 1, and a cleaning component 5 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the control component 1. The cleaning component 5 includes a fixing plate 51, a fixing shell 52 is mounted on the upper side of the fixing plate 51, the inner side of the fixing shell 52 is in close contact with a sponge block 53, a limit baffle 54 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixing shell 52, and an adjustment component 55 is fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the fixing shell 52. The joint assembly 55 includes a universal joint 551, a circular plate 552 fixedly connected to the lower end of the universal joint 551, a telescopic spring 553 fixedly connected to the side of the circular plate 552 near the universal joint 551, a rotating wheel 554 fixedly connected to the upper end of the telescopic spring 553, a brush assembly 56 fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting baffle 54, the brush assembly 56 includes a connecting plate 561, a vertical shaft 562 fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the connecting plate 561, a rotating cylinder 563 rotatably connected to the outside of the vertical shaft 562, brush bristles 564 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating cylinder 563, and a turntable 565 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating cylinder 563.
[0028] As a further implementation of this solution, the side sections of the fixed shell 52, the sponge block 53, and the limiting baffle 54 are all U-shaped. The sponge block 53 and the limiting baffle 54 are in close contact. Several protrusions are evenly arranged on the sponge block 53, providing a compact and stable support structure. The protrusions enhance the cleaning effect.
[0029] As a further implementation of this solution, there are two sets of cleaning components 5. The cleaning components 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the control component 1. Each set of cleaning components 5 is provided with two limit baffles 54. The limit baffles 54 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixed shell 52. Only the limit baffle 54 farthest from the control component 1 is equipped with a connecting plate 561, which ensures the balance of the robot and the stability of the components, while improving the bidirectional cleaning effect and efficiency.
[0030] As a further implementation of this solution, the universal joint 551 slides inside the rotating wheel 554, the telescopic spring 553 is sleeved on the outside of the universal joint 551, the rotating wheel 554 is in the shape of an "I" and rotates inside the fixed plate 51, so that the cleaning component 5 can adjust its angle according to the movement trajectory of the device.
[0031] As a further implementation of this solution, each cleaning component 5 is provided with two connecting plates 561. The connecting plates 561 are symmetrically arranged on the same side of the limiting baffle 54. The connecting plates 561 are perpendicular to the limiting baffle 54 and perpendicular to the vertical axis 562. This improves the installation accuracy and structural stability of the components and ensures the precision and reliability of the robot's movement.
[0032] As a further implementation of this solution, the sum of the height of the vertical shaft 562 and the thickness of the connecting plate 561 is the same as the height of the fixed shell 52. The height of the vertical shaft 562 is the same as the height of the rotating drum 563. The vertical axis of the vertical shaft 562 is on the same vertical plane as the vertical axis of the track suspension pulley in the track suspension assembly 4, which ensures the working space of the brush assembly 56 under the track and greatly facilitates the cleaning work of the brush bristles 564.
[0033] As a further implementation of this solution, a number of bristles 564 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the rotating drum 563 with the vertical axis 562 as the center. The turntable 565 is set on the upper side of the bristles 564, and the upper end of the turntable 565 is on the same horizontal plane as the upper end of the rotating drum 563. The outer side of the turntable 565 is in close contact with the track, providing an effective cleaning function. The close contact between the turntable 565 and the track ensures the cleaning effect and improves the practicality and efficiency of the robot.
[0034] Workflow: During the use of the power inspection robot, the robot's brushes contact the sliding lines on the track to obtain driving energy. As the robot moves along the track via the track suspension assembly 4, the cleaning assembly 5, fixedly connected to the control assembly 1, moves synchronously along the track. When installing the cleaning assembly 5, a downward force is applied to the circular plate 552, causing the circular plate 552 to drive its fixedly connected universal joint 551 to slide inside the rotating wheel 554. Simultaneously, the circular plate 552 applies a stretching force to the telescopic spring 553 connected to the rotating wheel 554, thus allowing the universal joint 551 to drive the fixed housing 52 and the brush assembly 56 to move simultaneously. This allows the sponge block 53 placed inside the fixed housing 52 to fit over the outside of the track, and the numerous protruding nodes on the inside of the sponge block 53 ensure a closer fit to the outside of the track, allowing the sponge to... Block 53 wipes the track surface as the power inspection robot moves. At the same time, the universal joint 551 fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed shell 52 can rotate axially inside the fixed plate 51 through the rotating wheel 554, so that the cleaning component 5 can turn and move along the moving track trajectory of the power inspection robot. Before the sponge block 53 inside the fixed shell 52 cleans the track, the brushing component 56 fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed shell 52 acts synchronously on the track. The turntable 565 in the brushing component 56 is always in close contact with the track to ensure that the rotating cylinder 563 fixedly connected to the turntable 565 has good rotation performance. Then, under the rotation control of the turntable 565, the rotating cylinder 563 can drive the bristles 564 fixedly connected to its outside to brush the track surface, thereby ensuring that the track along the path of the power inspection robot remains clean. This device effectively maintains the smoothness of the inspection track path of the power inspection robot.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
