Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of construction machinery technology, and in particular to a construction robot. Background Technology

[0002] Construction robots are widely used in industrial automation scenarios. Their working environment is usually subject to interference factors such as dust, noise and vibration, and operators need to monitor and intervene in emergencies under complex conditions.

[0003] In existing technologies, abnormal situations frequently occur during construction robot operation. If not handled promptly, these situations can cause damage. Therefore, construction robots need to be equipped with control switches to provide emergency power-off protection in case of abnormal situations. However, most construction robots only have one control switch. When abnormal situations occur, especially with larger construction robots, and the control switch is not located near the construction personnel, it prevents them from easily touching the control switch to cut off the power in time, thus delaying emergency intervention.

[0038] The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application. For example, terms such as "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," and "right" that indicate orientation or positional relationship are based solely on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are used only for the convenience of describing the application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device / component referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the application.

[0039] The specific embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] This invention provides a construction robot, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the construction robot includes a walking component 700, a chassis 600, a lifting device 400, a robotic arm 300, an assembly bracket 100, a tool body 200, a power supply device 900, and a control module 5091.

[0041] The traveling assembly 700 includes traveling wheels and a traveling motor 705 that drives the traveling wheels. The traveling wheels include a front traveling wheel 701, a rear traveling wheel 702, a track 703 wound around the front traveling wheel 701 and the rear traveling wheel 702, and an auxiliary wheel 704 located between the front traveling wheel 701 and the rear traveling wheel 702 and capable of supporting the track 703. The traveling motor 705 drives one or both of the front traveling wheel 701 and the rear traveling wheel 702.

[0042] The chassis 600 extends along a straight line. Front wheels 701 are connected to both sides of the front of the chassis 600, and rear wheels 702 are connected to both sides of the rear of the chassis 600. The drive motor 705 is located inside the chassis 600, and the drive motor 705 drives the front wheels 701 or the rear wheels 702 to move the chassis 600.

[0043] The lifting device 400 is fixed on the chassis 600. The lifting device 400 is a servo electric cylinder, or it can be other lifting platforms.

[0044] The robotic arm 300 is fixed to the upper end of the lifting device 400 and can rise and fall along with the lifting device 400. The robotic arm 300 is a six-axis robotic arm, which can move at all angles around the lifting device 400. This allows the robotic arm 400 to be adjusted at all angles to perform operations at different positions.

[0045] The mounting bracket 100 is fixedly connected to the front end of the robotic arm 400 and can move along with the robotic arm 400.

[0046] The tool body 200 is mounted on the assembly bracket 100 and can perform related operations by following the movement of the assembly bracket.

[0047] The power supply unit 900 is mounted on the chassis 600 and is used to provide a power source for the operation of the construction robot.

[0048] In some embodiments, a housing 500 is also provided above the chassis 600. Specifically, the housing 500 consists of a frame 501 and a cover 502 covering the frame 501, and the interior of the housing 500 forms an accommodating space.

[0049] In some embodiments, this application also includes an electrical control area located on top of the housing 500 for mounting the control module 5091.

[0050] The control module 5091 is used to control the operation of the construction robot.

[0051] This application also includes an alarm device 5010, which is signal-connected to the control module 5091. The alarm device 5010 has at least one alarm mode, and the alarm mode of the alarm device 5010 corresponds to the state of the construction robot.

[0052] In some embodiments, the state of the construction robot includes a normal working state, a paused state, and a fault state. The alarm device 5010 includes an alarm light assembly 510, which can emit alarm lights of different colors according to the working state, paused state, and fault state of the construction robot.

[0053] Specifically, the different colored lights include green, yellow, and red. When the warning light component 510 displays green, it indicates the construction robot is in normal working condition; when it displays yellow, it indicates the robot is paused; and when it displays red, it indicates an alarm is triggered. Construction personnel can selectively take appropriate measures based on the color of the warning light component 510 to handle any emergencies involving the construction robot.

[0054] In some embodiments, the alarm device 5010 is a warning light assembly 510, which is visible from any one of the front, rear, left, and right sides of the construction robot. This arrangement is to allow construction personnel to observe the status of the construction robot from any side, so as to take timely action when an alarm occurs.

[0055] Furthermore, to enable construction personnel to observe the warning light assembly 510 from any side of the construction robot—front, rear, left, or right—in some embodiments, the construction robot includes two warning light mounting positions arranged diagonally along its direction of travel. The warning light assembly 510 includes two warning lights, with each warning light 510 corresponding to one of the mounting positions. This arrangement allows construction personnel to visually observe the lighting information of the warning lights 510 from any side of the construction robot—front, rear, left, or right—in order to determine the robot's status.

[0056] To facilitate emergency handling of construction robots in alarm states by construction personnel, this application also includes at least two control switches 520, which are signal-connected to the control module 5091. Each control switch 520 is located at a different position on the construction robot, and construction personnel can handle the nearest control switch 520 according to the alarm mode of the alarm device 5010.

[0057] During construction, workers will stand at a distance and operate the construction robot using a control handle. When workers detect that the construction robot is in an alarm state (i.e., the warning light 510 emits a red light), they will use the control switch 520 to cut off the power to the construction robot in order to protect the entire machine.

[0058] When the construction robot is large and the construction personnel are not standing on the side of the control switch 520, the construction personnel cannot handle the construction robot in time, thus delaying the time for emergency intervention and making the construction robot prone to damage.

[0059] In order for construction personnel to be able to contact the control switch 520 in a timely manner to cut off the power to the construction robot, in some embodiments, the construction robot includes two switch installation positions arranged diagonally along the direction of travel of the construction robot, and there are two control switches 520, one control switch 520 can be installed on one switch installation position.

[0060] Since construction workers will stand in different positions around the construction robot depending on the working environment, the two control switches 520 are set diagonally opposite each other along the direction of travel of the construction robot. This arrangement ensures that the installation positions of the two control switches 520 are located at approximately equal intervals on the body size of the construction robot, so that construction workers can easily and quickly access the control switches 520 when standing on either side of the construction robot.

[0061] In this application, at least one control switch 520 is configured to individually control the start and stop of one of the robotic arm 300 and the tool body 200. In some embodiments, the robotic arm 300 and the tool body 200 are each provided with a control switch 520, so that the robotic arm 300 and the tool body 200 can be controlled individually.

[0062] In some embodiments, the walking assembly 700, the lifting device 400, and the power supply device 900 are each equipped with a control switch 520 so as to control the walking assembly 700, the lifting device 400, and the power supply device 900 individually.

[0063] In some embodiments, at least one control switch 520 is configured to control the start and stop of the entire construction robot. This allows for a simple and quick one-time power-off of the entire machine by touching a single control switch 520.

[0064] In some embodiments, this application further includes a generally square housing 500, an alarm device 5010 including two warning lights 510, and two control switches 520. From a top-down view of the housing 500, the two warning lights 510 are positioned on one diagonal of the housing 500, and the two control switches 520 are positioned on the other diagonal. This arrangement allows construction personnel to observe the warning lights 510 from any side of the construction robot (front, rear, left, or right) and also to easily access the control switches 520, thus enabling timely intervention on the construction robot when an alarm is triggered.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, in the top view of the enclosure 500, two warning lights 510 are located on one diagonal line of the enclosure 500, and two control switches 520 are located on the same diagonal line of the enclosure 500.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the enclosure 500 has a set of mounting holes integrated at the mounting positions of a set of warning lights 510 and control switches 520. The outer casings of both the warning lights 510 and control switches 520 have mounting holes that fit the mounting hole set. During installation, align the mounting holes of the warning lights 510 and control switches 520 with the corresponding mounting holes on the enclosure 500. Then, pass screws through the mounting holes of the warning lights 510 and control switches 520 and the mounting holes on the enclosure 500 in sequence, and tighten them inside the enclosure 500 using nuts or washers to secure them firmly onto the enclosure 500.

[0067] In some embodiments, the control switch 520 has a latching mechanism and a reset device, the reset device mainly comprising an elastic element. When a worker presses the control switch 520, the latching mechanism engages in a fixed position, keeping the control switch 520 in a pressed state. At this time, the elastic element is compressed, but the latching mechanism prevents the control switch 520 from springing back. When the worker presses the control switch 520 again, the latching mechanism releases, the elastic element springs back, and pushes the control switch 520 back to its initial position.

[0068] In some embodiments, the number of warning lights 510 can be three, four, five, or even more; the warning lights 510 can all be installed at different corners on the top of the enclosure 500; the warning lights 510 can also all be installed at different corners on the side of the enclosure 500; the warning lights 510 can also be partially installed on the top of the enclosure 500 and partially installed on the side of the enclosure 500.

[0069] In some embodiments, the number of control switches 520 can be three, four, five, or even more; the control switches 520 can all be installed at different corners on the top of the housing 500; the control switches 520 can also all be installed at different corners on the side of the housing 500; the control switches 520 can also be partially installed on the top of the housing 500 and partially installed on the side of the housing 500.

[0070] In some embodiments, the state of the construction robot includes a normal working state, a paused state, and a fault state. The alarm device 5010 includes a sound-emitting device, which can emit alarm sounds of different frequencies according to the normal working state, the paused state, and the fault state of the construction robot. In some embodiments, the sound-emitting device is a buzzer.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the ground clearance X of the control switch 520 is greater than or equal to 0.5m and less than or equal to 2m. Specifically, the ground clearance X of the control switch 520 is 0.5m, 0.8m, 1m, 1.2m, 1.5m, or 2m, which facilitates access for construction personnel. Of course, each control switch 520 can be installed at a different height depending on the structure of the construction robot to avoid interference with other components. In some embodiments, the control switch 520 is an emergency stop button.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the control switch 520 independently controlling the robotic arm 300, tool body 200, walking assembly 700, lifting device 400, or power supply device 900 is pressed, or when the control switch 520 controlling the operation of the entire machine is pressed, the emergency stop procedure of the construction robot's control module 5091 will be activated. At this time, the warning light assembly 510 will emit a red light. After all the pressed control switches 520 are reset, the emergency stop state of each component of the construction robot will be released, and the warning light assembly 510 will switch to emitting a yellow light.

[0073] This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that many alternative solutions exist for the construction robot described herein without departing from the principles and scope of this application. The scope of protection of this application is determined by the claims.
