Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent robot technology, and in particular to an infrared recognition device for intelligent robots with target tracking function. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of service, companion, and security robots, infrared recognition technology is playing an increasingly important role in target tracking, human-computer interaction, and environmental perception. Existing intelligent robots generally integrate infrared recognition modules, which can detect and determine the direction of human bodies or heat sources, thereby driving the robot's head or camera system to follow or interact with the target.

[0003] In existing technologies, most infrared recognition devices are fixed structures and lack self-maintenance mechanisms. They cannot cope with the problem of pollutant accumulation during long-term operation. Especially in usage scenarios with a lot of dust and large temperature and humidity changes, the infrared recognition mirror often needs to be wiped or maintained manually on a regular basis. This not only reduces the reliability of the equipment, but also limits the autonomy and intelligence level of the robot system. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to provide an intelligent robot infrared recognition device with target tracking function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. This solution, through the combined use of a lifting component and a lifting plate, enables the device to automatically clean the lens of the infrared recognition device, keeping the lens clean and preventing it from being blocked by dust or dirt, thus ensuring the normal use of the infrared recognition device. During robot standby, the lifting plate can remain stationary, covering the surface of the infrared recognition device to protect it and prevent dust accumulation on the lens. The cleaning work of the lifting plate is performed intermittently and will not affect the normal use of the infrared recognition device. The cleaning cloth used to wipe the lens is easy to replace, ensuring long-term effective cleaning.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An infrared recognition device for an intelligent robot with target tracking function includes a robot head, an infrared recognition device connected to the robot head, and a shell connected to the robot head. The shell covers the outside of the infrared recognition device and has a through hole. The through hole and the infrared recognition device are at the same horizontal position. A lifting plate matching the shape of the through hole is slidably connected to the inner wall of the infrared recognition device. A lifting assembly for driving the through hole to move is provided inside the infrared recognition device. A cleaning cloth is provided at the inner end of the lifting plate and abuts against the lens of the infrared recognition device.

[0007] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a rack, a gear, and a servo motor. The servo motor is connected to the inside of the robot head, and the output end of the servo motor extends into the inside of the outer shell and is connected to the gear.

[0008] Preferably, the rack is connected to the bottom end of the lifting plate, and the rack is meshed with a gear.

[0009] Preferably, the lifting plate has a mounting hole, and a connecting block is threaded into the inner end of the mounting hole. The end of the connecting block away from the infrared recognition device has an integrally formed handle.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the connecting block closest to the infrared recognition device is connected to a hook and loop fastener, and the surface of the cleaning cloth furthest from the infrared recognition device is set as a velvet surface to cooperate with the hook and loop fastener.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this technical solution compared to existing technologies are as follows:

[0012] This solution, through the combined use of lifting components and lifting plates, enables the device to automatically clean the lens of the infrared recognition device, keeping the lens clean and preventing it from being obstructed by dust or dirt, thus ensuring the normal operation of the infrared recognition device. During robot standby, the lifting plate can remain stationary, covering the surface of the infrared recognition device to protect it and prevent dust accumulation on the lens.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0018] like Figure 1-3The illustrated intelligent robot infrared recognition device with target tracking function includes a robot head 1, an infrared recognition device 3 connected to the robot head 1, and a shell 2 connected to the robot head 1. The shell 2 covers the outside of the infrared recognition device 3 and has a through hole 4. The through hole 4 and the infrared recognition device 3 are at the same horizontal position. A lifting plate 5 matching the shape of the through hole 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the infrared recognition device 3. A lifting component that drives the through hole 4 to move is provided inside the infrared recognition device 3. A cleaning cloth 10 is provided at the inner end of the lifting plate 5 and abuts against the lens of the infrared recognition device 3.

[0019] With the widespread application of service, companion, and security robots, infrared recognition technology plays an increasingly important role in target tracking, human-computer interaction, and environmental perception. Existing intelligent robots generally integrate infrared recognition modules, which can detect and determine the direction of human bodies or heat sources, thereby driving the robot's head or camera system to follow or interact with the target. In existing technologies, most infrared recognition devices are fixed structures and lack self-maintenance mechanisms, making them unable to cope with the problem of pollutant accumulation during long-term operation. Especially in usage scenarios with high dust and large temperature and humidity changes, infrared recognition mirrors often require regular manual wiping or maintenance, which not only reduces equipment reliability but also limits the autonomy and intelligence level of the robot system.

[0020] In this solution, the lifting assembly can drive the lifting plate 5 to move up and down intermittently inside the housing 2. During each movement, the cleaning cloth 10 inside the lifting plate 5 can wipe the lens of the infrared recognition device 3 to keep it clean and prevent it from being blocked by dust or dirt, thus ensuring the normal use of the infrared recognition device 3. At the same time, during the robot's standby period, the lifting plate 5 can remain stationary and cover the surface of the infrared recognition device 3, which can protect the infrared recognition device 3 and prevent dust from accumulating on the lens of the infrared recognition device 3 during the robot's standby period.

[0021] The lifting assembly includes a rack 6, a gear 7, and a servo motor 8. The servo motor 8 is connected to the inside of the robot head 1, and the output end of the servo motor 8 extends into the inside of the outer shell 2 and is connected to the gear 7. The rack 6 is connected to the bottom end of the lifting plate 5, and the rack 6 is meshed with the gear 7.

[0022] The working principle of the lifting component in this solution is as follows: The servo motor 8 drives the gear 7 to rotate several times. The rotation of the gear 7 forces the rack 6 to move upward, which in turn drives the lifting plate 5 to slide on the inner wall of the outer casing 2. This allows the lifting plate 5 to wipe the cleaning cloth 10 across the lens of the infrared recognition device 3. Then, the servo motor 8 drives the gear 7 to rotate in the opposite direction for the same number of times, causing the lifting plate 5 to reset. The user can set the start and stop cycle of the servo motor 8 to achieve intermittent cleaning, thereby avoiding affecting the normal use of the infrared recognition device 3.

[0023] The lifting plate 5 has a mounting hole 12. A connecting block 9 is threaded into the inner end of the mounting hole 12. The end of the connecting block 9 away from the infrared recognition device 3 has an integrally formed handle. The end of the connecting block 9 close to the infrared recognition device 3 is connected to a hook and loop fastener 11. The surface of the cleaning cloth 10 away from the infrared recognition device 3 is set as a velvet surface that cooperates with the hook and loop fastener 11.

[0024] In this solution, the user tightens the connecting block 9 inside the lifting plate 5 by using the handle to ensure that the cleaning cloth 10 is tightly attached to the lens of the infrared recognition device 3. The cleaning cloth 10 can be replaced periodically by unscrewing the connecting block 9. The cleaning cloth 10 can be directly attached to the hook and loop fastener 11 through its velvet surface, making replacement convenient.

[0025] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known technical solutions and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application should be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
