Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural robot technology, and in particular to an agricultural inspection robot with stable wireless data transmission. Background Technology

[0002] The technology for developing network platforms for smart shared farms is mature. The operation of these platforms requires real-time data on the growth status of agricultural products and the environment, which is crucial for agricultural production and forms the basis for user interaction on the platform. Real-time data collection is necessary, but manual data collection is inefficient and the monitoring results are not timely. While drone inspections significantly improve efficiency, current drone inspection technology still cannot meet the needs of smart farm inspections in terms of stability, flight time, and data transmission quality. To enable more efficient, stable, and accurate monitoring of agricultural products, online inspection robots can be used to inspect farmland, observe crop growth, pest and disease conditions, and soil moisture content, and provide status descriptions and warnings on the network platform, allowing users to monitor crop growth in real time.

[0003] In traditional agricultural inspection robots, monitoring images and data are transmitted to the platform via wireless network. However, when the inspection robot is used to inspect mountain streams or farmland with lush vegetation, the signal transmission path of the signal transmission device is blocked, which can cause signal transmission to be interrupted, delayed, or even disconnected from the network. This makes it impossible for the inspection robot to carry out the inspection work in the farmland normally, and the signal is not stable enough. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an agricultural inspection robot with stable wireless data transmission to solve the problem of unstable signal transmission in traditional agricultural inspection robots. These robots transmit monitoring images and data to the platform via wireless network, but when used for inspection in mountain streams or lush farmland, the signal transmission path of the signal transmission device is blocked, causing signal transmission interruptions, delays, or even network disconnections, resulting in the inspection robot being unable to perform its inspection work normally.

[0005] This utility model provides an agricultural inspection robot with stable wireless data transmission, specifically including: a remote inspection robot, an inspection camera mounted on the top of the remote inspection robot via a support rod, a rotating support plate hinged to the top of the remote inspection robot, a helical push cylinder hinged to the upper surface of the remote inspection robot, a support plate connecting rod fixedly connected to the front edge of the upper surface of the rotating support plate, the support plate connecting rod being hinged to the push rod end of the helical push cylinder, a square tube column fixedly connected above the rotating support plate, a lifting column movably connected to the square tube column, a wireless data transmitter fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting column, and the wireless data transmitter connecting the remote inspection robot and the inspection camera via an electrical connection cable.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper surface of the remote inspection robot is provided with a cuboid groove structure, and the left edge of the opening of the upper groove is connected to a rotating support plate through a hinge.

[0007] Furthermore, the dimensions and shape of the rotating support plate are consistent with those of the upper through groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the square tube column is a square rod, perpendicular to the upper surface of the rotating support plate, and has an inner groove with a rectangular cross-section inside, which is slidably connected to the lifting column.

[0009] Furthermore, a lifting drive motor is installed at the bottom of the rotating support plate by screws, and the shaft of the lifting drive motor is perpendicular to the lower surface of the rotating support plate.

[0010] Furthermore, an inner rotating rod is fixedly connected to the end of the shaft of the lifting drive motor, and the inner rotating rod is rotatably connected to the rotating support plate through a bearing.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner rotating rod is perpendicular to the upper surface of the rotating support plate, the inner rotating rod is located inside the square tube column, and the upper end of the inner rotating rod is provided with a rotating rod thread.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting column has an internal spiral groove, and the internal rotating rod is movably connected inside the internal spiral groove. The thread of the rotating rod and the internal thread of the internal spiral groove form a spiral connection.

[0013] This utility model provides an agricultural inspection robot with stable wireless data transmission, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The inspection robot of this invention is used for real-time monitoring of farmland and crops in agricultural operations. The inspection robot moves remotely, driving the inspection camera to move as well. The camera transmits the captured images to a wireless data transmitter, which then transmits the real-time images and data identified by the robot to an online platform via a wireless network, allowing users to better understand the farmland environment.

[0015] Furthermore, when the inspection robot is used in environments with dense trees, obstacles, or complex terrain, if the wireless data transmitter is affected by the environment, causing signal transmission path obstruction, signal transmission lag, delay, or even network disconnection, the spiral push cylinder pulls the support plate connecting rod, causing the rotating support plate to rotate to the same plane as the remote inspection robot. The square tube column and lifting column remain vertical, raising the wireless data transmitter and increasing its height. This allows the wireless data transmitter to better connect to the wireless network. Additionally, the lifting drive motor, in conjunction with a series of transmission mechanisms, can further lift the wireless data transmitter, enabling it to search for and connect to the wireless network more stably, thus improving data transmission stability.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 :

[0029] This utility model proposes an agricultural inspection robot with stable wireless data transmission, comprising: a remote inspection robot 1, an inspection camera 2 mounted on the top of the remote inspection robot 1 via a support rod, a rotating support plate 3 hinged to the top of the remote inspection robot 1, a helical push cylinder 4 hinged to the upper surface of the remote inspection robot 1, a support plate connecting rod 301 fixedly connected to the front edge of the upper surface of the rotating support plate 3, the support plate connecting rod 301 being hinged to the push rod end of the helical push cylinder 4, and a square tube column 302 fixedly connected above the rotating support plate 3, the square tube column 302 being movably connected to... There is a lifting column 6, and a wireless data transmitter 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting column 6. The wireless data transmitter 7 is connected to the remote inspection robot 1 and the inspection camera 2 through an electrical connection cable. The remote inspection robot 1 moves and drives the inspection camera 2 to move. The inspection camera 2 transmits the captured images to the wireless data transmitter 7. The wireless data transmitter 7 transmits the real-time captured images and the data recognized by the robot to the online platform through a wireless network, which makes it easier for users to understand the farmland environment and crop status more accurately, and facilitates better farmland management.

[0030] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the remote inspection robot 1 is provided with a cuboid groove structure upper through groove 101. The left edge of the opening of the upper through groove 101 is connected to the rotating support plate 3 through a hinge. The size and shape of the rotating support plate 3 are consistent with those of the upper through groove 101. Under normal conditions, the rotating support plate 3 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the remote inspection robot 1, so that the lifting column 6 and the wireless data transmitter 7 are in a folded state, which makes it easier for the inspection robot to move into the crops and reduces the obstacles to the robot's movement. When it is necessary to enhance the stability of data transmission, the rotating support plate 3 is pulled and rotated by the retraction of the spiral push cylinder 4, so that the rotating support plate 3 and the upper surface of the remote inspection robot 1 are kept on the same plane, so that the square tube column 302, the lifting column 6 and the wireless data transmitter 7 are in a vertical state, thereby increasing the height of the wireless data transmitter 7 and reducing the impact of obstacles on wireless data transmission.

[0031] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the square tube column 302 is a square rod, perpendicular to the upper surface of the rotating support plate 3. The square tube column 302 has an inner groove with a rectangular cross-section, which is slidably connected to the lifting column 6. A lifting drive motor 5 is mounted on the bottom of the rotating support plate 3 by screws. The shaft of the lifting drive motor 5 is perpendicular to the lower surface of the rotating support plate 3. An inner rotating rod 501 is fixedly connected to the end of the shaft of the lifting drive motor 5. The inner rotating rod 501 is rotatably connected to the rotating support plate 3 through a bearing. The inner rotating rod 501 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the rotating support plate 3 and is located inside the square tube column 302. The upper end of the inner rotating rod 501 has a rotating rod thread 502. The interior of the lifting column 6... An inner spiral groove 601 is provided, and an inner spiral rod 501 is movably connected inside the inner spiral groove 601. The spiral rod thread 502 and the inner spiral groove 601 form a spiral connection. If it is necessary to further increase the height of the wireless data transmitter 7 to reduce the impact of obstacles on wireless data transmission, the lifting drive motor 5 is started. The lifting drive motor 5 drives the inner spiral rod 501 to rotate, so that the spiral rod thread 502 and the inner spiral groove 601 form a spiral transmission, pushing the lifting column 6 upward. This causes the lifting column 6 to move upward inside the square tube column 302, thereby further increasing the height of the wireless data transmitter 7 and further reducing the impact of obstacles around the inspection robot on the stability of data transmission of the wireless data transmitter 7.

[0032] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Under normal conditions, the rotating support plate 3 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the remote inspection robot 1, causing the lifting column 6 and the wireless data transmitter 7 to be in a tilted state, which facilitates the movement of the inspection robot in the crop planting area and avoids collisions with crops that could cause obstacles. When it is necessary to enhance the stability of data transmission, the rotating support plate 3 is pulled and rotated by the retraction of the spiral push cylinder 4, so that the rotating support plate 3 and the upper surface of the remote inspection robot 1 are on the same plane, making the square tube column 302, the lifting column 6 and the wireless data transmitter 7 vertical, thereby increasing the height of the wireless data transmitter 7. To reduce the impact of obstacles on wireless data transmission, if it is necessary to further increase the height of the wireless data transmitter 7 to reduce the impact of obstacles on wireless data transmission, the lifting drive motor 5 is started. The lifting drive motor 5 drives the inner rotating rod 501 to rotate, so that the rotating rod thread 502 and the inner spiral push groove 601 form a spiral transmission, pushing the lifting column 6 upward, so that the lifting column 6 moves upward inside the square tube column 302, thereby further increasing the height of the wireless data transmitter 7, making the wireless data transmitter 7 higher than the surrounding obstacles, and reducing the obstruction of obstacles to signal transmission.
