Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection robot clamping wheel equipment, and in particular to an inspection robot clamping wheel device. Background Technology

[0002] Inspection robots are automated devices used to perform various inspection tasks, including but not limited to monitoring and inspecting industrial facilities, power systems, oil and gas pipelines, building structures, and public safety. These robots, through integrated sensors, cameras, communication modules, and other technologies, are capable of autonomous navigation, data collection, problem identification, and timely reporting.

[0003] Currently, when inspection robots travel on tracks, a clamping wheel device firmly presses the robot onto the track to prevent it from derailing due to uneven track, vibration, or other external forces, ensuring stable operation along the predetermined track. Existing clamping wheel devices use clamping wheels and blocks to press cables or pipes together, ensuring smooth inspection. However, different cable or pipe diameters and materials may require different clamping forces. Adjusting the existing clamping wheel device requires operators to use a lever mechanism; they can adjust the pressure by pulling or pushing the lever. Furthermore, existing clamping wheel devices have pre-designed mounting holes on the bottom of the inspection robot, and corresponding bolt holes on the clamping wheel device's bracket or mounting plate. The clamping wheel device is then fixed in its predetermined position on the robot's bottom using bolts. When maintenance or replacement is needed, the bolts must be removed and the device reinstalled, a cumbersome process that can damage the equipment and shorten its lifespan.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of pressure wheel device for inspection robots to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a pressure wheel device for an inspection robot.

[0006] The present invention provides a pressure wheel device for an inspection robot, comprising an inspection robot body and a pressure wheel. The bottom of the inspection robot is provided with a groove, and the two sides of the pressure wheel are movably connected to the inner wall of the groove at the bottom of the inspection robot through a number of connecting devices.

[0007] The connecting device includes a fixed frame, a driving block, and a limiting mechanism. The fixed frame is fixedly connected to one side wall of the pressure wheel. The driving block is slidably connected to the inner wall of a through hole at one end of the fixed frame, and both sides of the driving block away from the fixed frame are inclined. Two limiting frames are slidably connected to both sides of the driving block away from the fixed frame. The two limiting frames are slidably connected to the inner wall of a limiting groove on the inspection robot body, and an elastic element is fixedly connected to the end of each limiting frame away from the driving block. The end of the elastic element away from the fixed frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame. The limiting mechanism is slidably connected to the inner wall of a groove on one side of the fixed frame.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a slider and a limiting strip. The slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of a groove opened on one side of the fixed block. One end of the limiting strip is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider, and the end of the limiting strip away from the slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of a groove opened on the driving block.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic element is a compression spring, which is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting frame away from the driving block, and the end of the compression spring away from the limiting frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame.

[0010] Preferably, the inspection robot body has several rotating wheels rotatably connected to both ends.

[0011] Preferably, a camera is installed at one end of the inspection robot body.

[0012] Preferably, the initial horizontal height of the clamping wheel is higher than the horizontal height of the inspection robot.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the pressure wheel device for inspection robots provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] With the connection device in place, when the clamping wheel device needs to be disassembled, the user first moves the slider to move the limit bar out of the groove inside the inspection robot body. Then, by pressing the drive block, the drive block moves the two limit frames closer to the fixed frame. At this time, the limit frames will slide along the groove on the inspection robot body. The clamping wheel device and the fixed frame can then be removed from the groove at the bottom of the inspection robot body. This device increases the service life of the equipment and reduces the difficulty and time cost of maintenance. Attached Figure Description

Figure 4 for Figure 3 The diagram shows the structure of the connecting device. Figure 5 for Figure 4 A partial structural schematic diagram of the connecting device is shown.

[0023] In the specific implementation process, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the bottom of the inspection robot has a groove. The two sides of the pressure wheel 2 are movably connected to the inner wall of the groove on the bottom of the inspection robot through several connecting devices. The connecting devices include a fixed frame 3, a drive block 4, and a limiting mechanism. The fixed frame 3 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the pressure wheel 2. The drive block 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through hole at one end of the fixed frame 3. Both sides of the drive block 4 away from the fixed frame 3 are inclined. Two limiting frames 6 are slidably connected to the two sides of the drive block 4 away from the fixed frame 3. The two limiting frames 6 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove on the inspection robot body 1. Both ends of the two limiting frames 6 away from the drive block 4 are fixedly connected to an elastic element. The ends of the elastic elements away from the fixed frame are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 3. The limiting mechanism is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove on one side of the fixed frame 3. The limiting mechanism includes a slider 7 and a limiting strip 8. The slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove on one side of the fixed block. One end of the limiting strip 8 is fixedly connected to the slider 7. The side wall of the block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove on the drive block 4 at one end of the limiting frame 6 away from the drive block 4. The elastic element is a compression spring 9, which is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting frame 6 away from the drive block 4 and the end of the compression spring 9 away from the limiting frame 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 3. Several rotating wheels 10 are rotatably connected to both ends of the inspection robot body 1. A camera 5 is set at one end of the inspection robot body 1. The initial horizontal height of the clamping wheel 2 is higher than the horizontal height of the inspection robot. When it is necessary to disassemble the clamping wheel 2 device, the user first moves the limiting strip 8 out of the inner wall of the groove on the inspection robot body 1 by moving the slider 7. Then, by pressing the drive block 4, the two limiting frames 6 are moved closer to the fixed frame 3 by the drive block 4. At this time, the limiting frame 6 will slide along the groove on the inspection robot body 1. At this time, the clamping wheel 2 device and the fixed frame 3 can be taken out from the groove at the bottom of the inspection robot body 1.

[0024] The working principle provided by this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to disassemble the clamping wheel 2 device, the user first moves the slider 7 to drive the limit bar 8 out of the groove inside the inspection robot body 1. Then, by pressing the drive block 4, the two limit frames 6 are moved closer to the fixed frame 3. At this time, the limit frame 6 will slide along the groove inside the inspection robot body 1. At this time, the clamping wheel 2 device and the fixed frame 3 can be taken out from the groove at the bottom of the inspection robot body 1.
