Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rail transit electrical inspection technology, and in particular to a rail transit electrical inspection robot platform. Background Technology

[0002] The rail transit electrical inspection robot platform is an intelligent platform that combines robotics, artificial intelligence, sensing technology, and applications in the rail transit field. It is used for automated inspection of electrical equipment in rail transit systems. It typically consists of a robot body, a sensor system, and a data acquisition and analysis system, enabling it to efficiently and accurately complete the inspection tasks of electrical equipment.

[0003] After exploration and analysis, the following drawbacks were found in actual use:

[0004] The cameras on some existing inspection robots can only move in a circle around a fixed axis. Therefore, their field of view is mainly limited by this rotation range and cannot fully cover more inspection areas. Especially for more complex tracks or electrical equipment, they may not be able to efficiently scan all the parts that need to be inspected.

[0005] In summary, this application proposes a rail transit electrical inspection robot platform to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rail transit electrical inspection robot platform that can solve the problem that the camera can only move in a circle around a fixed axis, so its field of view is mainly limited by the rotation range and cannot fully cover more inspection areas.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rail transit electrical inspection robot platform, comprising:

[0008] The robot body has a work box fixedly mounted on its top, and a connection box is set on the top of the work box.

[0009] An adjustment assembly is mounted on the connecting box. The adjustment assembly includes a rotating column, a worm wheel, and a worm. The worm wheel is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating column, and the worm is rotatably installed on the inner front wall of the connecting box. The worm and the worm wheel are meshed together.

[0010] The auxiliary components are mounted on the robot body and include a mounting plate and a light. The light is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the working box is equipped with a drive motor inside, and a rotating column is rotatably mounted on the top of the working box. The bottom end of the rotating column passes through the working box and is fixedly installed with the output shaft of the drive motor, so that the connecting box can move in a circular motion to prepare for subsequent inspection work.

[0012] Preferably, cameras are installed on both sides of the connecting box to detect the surrounding environment.

[0013] Preferably, the adjustment assembly also includes a motor. The motor is fixedly installed on the rear inner wall of the connecting box, and the other end of the worm gear is fixedly installed to the output shaft of the motor. The two ends of the rotating column pass through the connecting box and are fixedly installed to one side of the two sets of cameras respectively. The worm gear transmission has good precision and stability, which can ensure that the camera angle adjustment is very accurate. It is suitable for electrical equipment that requires high-precision inspection. At the same time, the worm gear transmission system has natural self-locking property, which means that when the worm stops rotating, the worm wheel will not rotate in the opposite direction, thereby ensuring that the camera can stay stably in the designated position after adjustment. This is very important for the rail transit inspection robot to maintain a stable viewing angle in actual work, avoiding the problem of unstable or repeated adjustment of the camera during the inspection process.

[0014] Preferably, the fixing plate is in multiple sets and is fixedly installed on the top of the robot body. The lighting can provide sufficient light for the robot, ensuring clear inspection even in dim or poorly lit environments. This helps the robot accurately identify the status of tracks and electrical equipment, promptly detect potential safety hazards, and thus improve the safety of the inspection process. The lighting not only helps with the inspection work but also provides a better lighting environment for the staff.

[0015] Preferably, a detector is fixedly installed on the top of the robot body.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) The rail transit electrical inspection robot platform uses a combination of rotating column, worm gear, motor and worm. The worm gear transmission has good precision and stability, which can ensure that the camera angle adjustment is very accurate. It is suitable for electrical equipment that requires high precision inspection. At the same time, the worm gear transmission system has natural self-locking property, which means that when the worm stops rotating, the worm wheel will not rotate in the opposite direction, thus ensuring that the camera can stay stably in the designated position after adjustment. This is very important for the rail transit inspection robot to maintain a stable viewing angle in actual work, and avoids the problem of unstable or repeated adjustment of the camera during the inspection process.

[0018] (2) The rail transit electrical inspection robot platform, through the combined use of the fixed plate and the lighting, can provide sufficient light for the robot, ensuring clear inspection even in dim or poorly lit environments. This helps the robot accurately identify the status of the track and electrical equipment, promptly detect potential safety hazards, and thus improve the safety of the inspection process. The lighting not only helps the inspection work, but also provides a better lighting environment for the staff. Attached Figure Description

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rail transit electrical inspection robot platform, including a robot body 1, an adjustment component and an auxiliary component. A work box 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the robot body 1, and a connecting box 4 is provided on the top of the work box 2. The adjustment component is set on the connecting box 4 and includes a rotating column 6, a worm wheel 7 and a worm 9. The worm wheel 7 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating column 6, and the worm 9 is rotatably installed on the front inner wall of the connecting box 4. The worm 9 and the worm wheel 7 are meshed and installed. The auxiliary component is set on the robot body 1 and includes a fixing plate 10 and a lighting lamp 11. The lighting lamp 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing plate 10.

[0026] Furthermore, a drive motor is installed inside the working box 2, and a rotating column 3 is rotatably mounted on the top of the working box 2. The bottom end of the rotating column 3 passes through the working box 2 and is fixedly installed with the output shaft of the drive motor, so that the connecting box 4 can move in a circular motion to prepare for subsequent inspection work.

[0027] Furthermore, cameras 5 are installed on both sides of the connecting box 4, which can detect the surrounding environment.

[0028] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly also includes a motor 8. The motor 8 is fixedly installed on the rear inner wall of the connecting box 4. The other end of the worm gear 9 is fixedly installed to the output shaft of the motor 8. The two ends of the rotating column 6 pass through the connecting box 4 and are fixedly installed on one side of the two sets of cameras 5 respectively. The worm gear 9 is driven to rotate by the motor 8, which in turn causes the worm wheel 7 to drive the rotating column 6 to rotate, making the two sets of cameras 5 rotate up and down. The worm gear transmission has good precision and stability, which can ensure that the angle adjustment of the camera is very accurate. It is suitable for electrical equipment that requires high-precision inspection. At the same time, the worm gear transmission system has a natural self-locking property, which means that when the worm gear 9 stops rotating, the worm wheel 7 will not rotate in the opposite direction, thus ensuring that the camera 5 can stay stably in the designated position after adjustment. This is very important for the rail transit inspection robot to maintain a stable perspective in actual work, avoiding the problem of unstable or repeated adjustment of the camera during the inspection process.

[0029] Furthermore, the mounting plate 10 has multiple sets and is fixedly installed on the top of the robot body 1. The lighting lamp 11 can provide sufficient light for the robot, ensuring clear inspection even in dim or poorly lit environments. This helps the robot accurately identify the status of tracks and electrical equipment, promptly detect potential safety hazards, and thus improve the safety of the inspection process. The lighting lamp 11 not only helps with inspection work but also provides a better lighting environment for staff.

[0030] Secondly, a detector 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the robot body 1.

[0031] Working principle: In use, the robot body 1 first moves along the track. During the movement, the lighting 11 is turned on, which provides sufficient light for the robot body 1 to ensure clear inspection even in dim or poorly lit environments. The rotating column 3 drives the camera 5 on the connecting box 4 to rotate in a circle, so that the camera 5 can inspect the surrounding environment. At the same time, the motor 8 is started, which drives the worm gear 9 to rotate, thereby causing the worm wheel 7 to drive the rotating column 6 to rotate, so that the two sets of cameras 5 rotate up and down, thereby performing inspection work in different environments.

[0032] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
