Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle undercarriage inspection robot technology, and in particular relates to a battery pack for vehicle undercarriage inspection robots. Background Technology

[0002] A vehicle undercarriage inspection robot is an automated device specifically designed for inspecting the underside of a car. Under the control of an operator or according to a preset program, it can enter the narrow space under a car and collect relevant information about the underside of the car through various sensors.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN218162613U discloses a vehicle undercarriage safety inspection robot, including a main body with mounting slots on both sides. In this invention, because the detection camera is vertically mounted on the extension plate, it ensures the camera is perpendicular to the ground, allowing it to directly and non-destructively capture the entire image of the vehicle chassis. Simultaneously, by incorporating an air pump, which removes dust adhering to the camera's surface (due to the high dust levels under vehicles), this solves the problem of image acquisition efficiency and secondary image distortion caused by traditional methods of holding the camera parallel to the ground and using mirror reflection. Furthermore, it significantly reduces the impact of untimely cleaning of the reflective mirror on image clarity. Additionally, the inclusion of a first and second connecting ring facilitates locking the detection camera when not in use, preventing dust from settling on it.

[0004] The aforementioned patent has the following problems:

[0005] This patent has some drawbacks in its use. For example, the aforementioned undercarriage safety inspection robot requires a battery pack to power its components. Sometimes, scratches on the car chassis can cause antifreeze leakage. During inspection, this leaked antifreeze may enter the robot, leading to water ingress, bulging, and potential fire in the battery. Therefore, we propose a battery pack for an undercarriage inspection robot. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a battery pack for a vehicle undercarriage inspection robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a battery pack for a vehicle undercarriage inspection robot, including a main body, a control panel, an LED light, an air pump, an extension plate, an inspection camera, omnidirectional wheels, and a battery pack, and further includes:

[0008] The limiting groove is located at the bottom of the main body of the device. The control panel and LED lighting are fixedly installed on the top of the main body of the device. The air pump is located on one side of the main body of the device. The extension plate is fixedly installed on one side of the main body of the device. A detection camera is fixedly installed on the top of the extension plate. Universal wheels are symmetrically and rotatably installed on both sides of the main body of the device.

[0009] Two sliding plates are slidably installed in the limiting groove. A second sliding plate is slidably installed in the limiting groove at the bottom of the two sliding plates. A second housing is inserted into the limiting groove at the top of the two sliding plates. A first housing is disposed on the top of the second housing. The battery pack is inserted between the second housing and the first housing.

[0010] A drive assembly, located within the main body of the device, is used to drive two sliding plates to slide.

[0011] In this technical solution, when the battery pack needs to be replaced, firstly, the second sliding plate is pulled to slide. Through the set drive component, the two first sliding plates can be driven to slide and move away from each other. At the same time, several springs are compressed and contracted. When both first sliding plates have slid to the appropriate position, the user can take out the first housing through the two grooves. The first housing pulls the battery pack and the second housing out. Then, the first housing and the second housing are separated, and the battery pack inside is taken out. Then, the new battery pack is placed in the second housing, and the first housing is placed on top of the second housing. Then, the first housing and the second housing are inserted into the limiting groove. Finally, the second sliding plate is released. Through the set drive component, the second sliding plate slides, and at the same time, the two first sliding plates slide and move closer to each other. Finally, the two first sliding plates and the second sliding plate can seal the limiting groove, ensuring that no liquid enters the battery pack, ensuring the safety of the battery pack during use, and facilitating the replacement of the battery pack.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the driving component further includes:

[0013] Two guide grooves are provided, both of which are formed within the second sliding plate. Guide posts are slidably installed in both guide grooves. The two guide posts are fixedly connected to the two first sliding plates respectively. Several springs that are fixed to the inner wall of the limiting groove are fixedly installed on one side of the second sliding plate.

[0014] In this technical solution, when the battery pack needs to be replaced, the sliding plate 2 is first pulled to slide in the direction of the spring. The sliding plate 2 drives the two guide posts to slide and move away from each other through the two guide grooves. The two guide posts drive the two sliding plates 1 to slide and move away from each other. At the same time, several springs are compressed and contracted.

[0015] When the second sliding plate is released, under the action of the rebound force of several springs, the second sliding plate slides away from the springs. The second sliding plate drives the two guide posts to slide and move closer to each other through the two guide grooves. The two guide posts drive the two first sliding plates to slide and move closer to each other. Finally, the two first sliding plates and the second sliding plate can seal the limiting groove, ensuring that no liquid enters the battery pack, ensuring the safety of the battery pack during use, and facilitating the replacement of the battery pack.

[0016] In the above technical solution, a sealing strip is further fixedly installed on the top of the second housing, the sealing strip extends into the first housing and is inserted into the first housing, and a sealing rubber gasket is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the sealing strip.

[0017] In this technical solution, housing one is placed on top of housing two, and a sealing strip is inserted into housing one. The sealing rubber gasket on the sealing strip can enhance the sealing of the battery pack and ensure that the battery pack will not be infiltrated by water.

[0018] In the above technical solution, further, the top of the first housing is symmetrically provided with grooves, and one side of the second housing is provided with a through groove.

[0019] In this technical solution, it is ensured that the user can remove the housing through the two grooves.

[0020] In the above technical solution, furthermore, both the inner walls of the first housing and the inner walls of the second housing are fixedly installed with moisture-proof pads that come into contact with the battery pack.

[0021] In this technical solution, the moisture-proof pad can fill the tiny gaps between the battery pack and the first and second housings, enhancing the overall sealing performance. It also helps to maintain a relatively dry environment inside the first and second housings, preventing moisture intrusion due to poor sealing.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the battery pack is further electrically connected to the control panel, LED lighting, air pump, detection camera, and omnidirectional wheel.

[0023] In this technical solution, it is ensured that the control panel, LED lights, air pump, detection camera, and casters can all be powered on and used normally.

[0024] In the above technical solution, furthermore, the two sides of the first sliding plate are tightly fitted with the battery pack and the second sliding plate, respectively.

[0025] In this technical solution, the sealing performance within the limiting groove is ensured.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] 1. The battery pack for the undercarriage inspection robot firstly pulls the second sliding plate to slide. Through the set drive component, the two first sliding plates can be driven to slide and move away from each other. At the same time, several springs are compressed and contracted. When both first sliding plates have slid to the appropriate position, the user can take out the first housing through the two grooves. The first housing pulls the battery pack and the second housing out. The battery pack can be installed by the above reverse operation, which is convenient for battery pack replacement.

[0028] 2. The battery pack for the undercarriage inspection robot has housing one placed on top of housing two, with a sealing strip inserted into housing one. The sealing rubber gasket on the sealing strip can enhance the sealing performance of the battery pack, ensuring that water will not enter the battery pack. The moisture-proof pad can fill the tiny gaps between the battery pack and housing one and housing two, enhancing the overall sealing performance. It also helps to maintain a relatively dry environment inside housing one and housing two, preventing moisture intrusion due to poor sealing. Attached Figure Description
