[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robotics technology and relates to mine information collection, specifically a mine information collection robot. Background Technology

[0002] Mining environments are typically complex and harsh, posing significant safety hazards such as collapses, landslides, and toxic gas leaks, which greatly threaten the lives of manual data collection. Furthermore, manual data collection is inefficient and cannot meet the demands of large-scale, high-efficiency production in modern mines. Automated mining information collection robots integrate advanced technologies from multiple disciplines, including mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, computer science, and automation control. They can replace manual labor in collecting mining information, improving the quality and efficiency of data collection, reducing safety risks, and providing strong data support for intelligent mining and management.

[0003] In the mining environment, the terrain is complex and varied. Traditional robots usually have a fixed wheel spacing. When faced with different road conditions, robots with a fixed wheel spacing cannot pass or have insufficient stability due to the limitation of wheel spacing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mine information collection robot, which aims to improve existing robots by having a simple structure and being able to adapt to complex mine terrain and harsh environments, while also improving the safety and stability of the robot's information collection equipment.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to achieve the above objectives is as follows:

[0006] A mining information collection robot includes a base plate, two electric push rods fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a movable plate fixedly connected between the output ends of the two electric push rods, two connecting rods rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the movable plate, four rotating parts rotatably connected to the sides of the four connecting rods away from the movable plate, and the middle of the middle of the adjacent sides of the four rotating parts rotatably connected to the base plate. Two rotating rods are also rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the base plate, and connecting parts are rotatably connected to the sides of the adjacent rotating rods and rotating parts away from the base plate. Wheels are fixed on the connecting parts. A rack is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a groove is opened on the front side of the rack, and a sliding part is slidably connected in the groove. A power supply is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a controller is fixedly connected to the front side of the power supply, a receiver is fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the movable plate, a detector is fixedly connected to the front side of the top of the movable plate, a rotating component is provided on the sliding part for adjusting any angle, and a camera device is provided on the rotating component.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotating component includes a fixing member, which is fixedly connected to the sliding member. A rotating member is provided on the side of the fixing member away from the sliding member, and a camera device is fixed on the rotating member.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing component is a cross-shaped bracket, and the rotating component includes a horizontal rotating bracket and a vertical rotating bracket. Both the horizontal rotating bracket and the vertical rotating bracket are semi-circular. The horizontal rotating bracket and the vertical rotating bracket are arranged crosswise and rotatably connected to the cross-shaped bracket of the fixing component. The horizontal rotating bracket and the vertical rotating bracket are driven to rotate by a third motor and a fourth motor fixed to the fixing component, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing block is fixed at the center of the cross-shaped bracket of the fastener, and a rotating block is connected to the fixing block.

[0010] Furthermore, a rotating block is rotatably connected to the rotating block, and a camera equipment fixing rod is fixedly connected to the rotating block.

[0011] Furthermore, both the horizontal and vertical rotating brackets are machined with long grooves, and the camera equipment fixing rod is fixed at the intersection of the long grooves of the horizontal and vertical rotating brackets.

[0012] Furthermore, the sliding component is provided with two wings, and a gear is rotatably connected between the two wings, with the gear meshing with the rack.

[0013] Furthermore, a second motor is fixedly connected to one side wing of the sliding member, and a drive gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor.

[0014] Furthermore, a first motor is fixedly connected to the connector, and the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the drive wheel.

[0015] Furthermore, the camera, receiver, detector, and controller are all electrically connected to the power supply, and the electric actuator, the first motor, the second motor, the third motor, and the fourth motor are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. The electric push rod drives the moving plate, which in turn drives the connecting rod and rotating parts to rotate, thereby enabling the connecting parts to separate or move closer together. At the same time, it enables the base plate to be lowered or raised, allowing the robot wheel spacing to be adjusted as needed to adapt to different terrain requirements, thus improving the ability of the mining information collection robot to adapt to the working environment.

[0018] 2. By using the rotating parts driven by the third and fourth motors on the fixed parts, the up, down, left, and right angles of the camera fixed on the rotating block and the front of the rotating block can be adjusted. This solves the problem that fixed cameras are difficult to obtain information on different terrain heights and angles. The camera angle can be adjusted in all directions, thereby capturing images of key parts better and more comprehensively. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is a mining information collection robot, comprising a base plate 1. Two electric push rods 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A movable plate 2 is fixedly connected between the output ends of the two electric push rods 3. Two connecting rods 4 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the movable plate 2. Rotating parts 5 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the four connecting rods 4 on both sides. The four rotating parts 5 are rotatably connected to the base plate 1 on their adjacent sides. Two rotating rods 6 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the base plate 1. Connecting parts 7 are rotatably connected between the bottom of the adjacent rotating rods 6 and the rotating parts 5. A first motor 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting parts 7. A drive wheel 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 8.

[0025] A rack 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A groove 11 is opened on the front side of the rack 10. A slider 12 is slidably connected in the groove 11. A power supply 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A controller 25 is fixedly connected to the front side of the power supply 22. A receiver 23 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the moving plate 2. A detector 24 is fixedly connected to the front side of the top of the moving plate 2. A rotating component is provided on the front side of the slider 12. The rotating component is used to adjust any angle. A camera 21 is provided on the rotating component.

[0026] Specifically, the electric push rod 3 drives the moving plate 2 downward, which in turn drives the connecting rod 4 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod 4 causes the rotating component 5 to rotate on the base plate 1. When the rotating component 5 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate, which in turn causes the two connecting components 7 on the same side to separate. The tilting of the rotating component 5 and the rotating rod 6 also lowers the base plate 1, thereby lowering the robot's overall center of gravity, making its movement more stable and improving its stability. Moreover, the increased wheelbase allows the robot to navigate wider trenches, enhancing its ability to adapt to different terrains. When the electric push rod 3 drives the moving plate 2 upward, it causes the two connecting components 7 on the same side to come together. With the support of the rotating component 5 and the rotating rod 6, the base plate 1 rises, which prevents the bottom from rubbing against the terrain and improves the robot's passability.

[0027] Camera 21, receiver 23, detector 24 and controller 25 are all electrically connected to power supply 22. Electric push rod 3, first motor 8, second motor 13, third motor 16 and fourth motor 26 are all electrically connected to controller 25. First motor 8, second motor 13, third motor 16 and fourth motor 26 are connected to controller 25. Controller 25 supplies power to first motor 8, second motor 13, third motor 16 and fourth motor through the connected power supply 22. Controller 25 controls the opening and closing of electric push rod 3, first motor 8, second motor 13, third motor 16 and fourth motor 26.

[0028] Receiver 23 is used to receive various mine information collected from detector 24 and camera 21, including image, sound, temperature, humidity and gas concentration data. Detector 24 contains temperature sensor, humidity sensor and gas sensor to sense the physical and chemical parameters in the mine in real time. Controller 25 quickly processes and analyzes the large amount of data from detector 24 and camera 21, extracts valuable information, and makes decisions based on the processed data. It controls electric push rod 3, first motor 8, second motor 13, third motor 16 and fourth motor 26 to coordinate to deal with different terrains and various situations. Power supply 22 is used to supply power to various parts of the robot.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a fixing member 15, which is fixedly connected to a sliding member 12. The sliding member 12 is provided with two wings, and a gear 14 is rotatably connected between the two wings. The gear 14 is meshed with a rack 10. One side wing of the sliding member 12 is fixedly connected to a second motor 13, and the output end of the second motor 13 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 14.

[0030] Specifically, the second motor 13 drives the gear 14 to rotate. The gear 14 meshes with the rack 10. The rotation of the gear 14 causes the slider 12 to slide up and down in the slide groove 11, thereby raising the camera 21 to any height.

[0031] A rotating component 17 is provided on the side of the fixing component 15 away from the sliding component 12, and a camera 21 is fixed on the rotating component 17; the fixing component 15 is a cross-shaped bracket, and a fixing block 18 is fixed at the center of the cross-shaped bracket of the fixing component 15, and a rotating block 19 is connected to the fixing block 18; a rotating block 20 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 19, and a camera equipment fixing rod 27 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 20; the rotating component 17 includes a horizontal rotating bracket 17-1 and a vertical rotating bracket 17-2, both of which are semicircular. The structure consists of a horizontal rotating bracket 17-1 and a vertical rotating bracket 17-2, which are cross-shaped and rotatably connected to the cross-shaped bracket of the fixing member 15. The horizontal rotating bracket 17-1 and the vertical rotating bracket 17-2 are driven to rotate by the third motor 16 and the fourth motor 26, which are fixed to the fixing member 15, respectively. Both the horizontal rotating bracket 17-1 and the vertical rotating bracket 17-2 are machined with long slots 28. The camera equipment fixing rod 27 is fixed at the intersection of the two long slots 28 of the horizontal rotating bracket 17-1 and the vertical rotating bracket 17-2.

[0032] Specifically, the third motor 16 drives the horizontal rotating bracket 17-1 to rotate, adjusting the horizontal angle of the camera 21. The fourth motor 26 drives the vertical rotating bracket 17-2 to rotate, adjusting the vertical angle of the camera 21. The rotating block 19 in front of the fixed block 18 and the rotating block 20 in front of the rotating block 19 can enable the camera 21 to turn in any direction under the drive of the horizontal rotating bracket 17-1 and the vertical rotating bracket 17-2. In the complex terrain of the mine, the robot can adjust the angle of the camera 21 according to the terrain changes to better capture images of key parts of the mine.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
