BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0018] Fig. 1 It is a structural schematic view of the utility model;
[0019] Fig. 2 It is an installation position schematic view of the protective cover and the platform of the utility model;
[0020] Fig. 3 It is a principle view of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] As shown in the accompanying drawings:Figs. 1-3 The utility model discloses an indoor equipment intelligent inspection robot of transformer substation, including car body 1, rotating stand 2, platform 7, camera 8, protective cover 9 and cleaning device.
[0022] Car body 1 has a wheel, can realize walking, rotating stand 2 sets up on car body 1, can rotate, platform 7 is fixedly arranged at the top position of rotating stand 2 and rotates with rotating stand 2, camera 8 is fixedly arranged on platform 7, and the protective cover 9 is arranged in its front to prevent lens pollution or damage. Platform 7 is circular, and the outer side of protective cover 9 is arc-shaped and consistent with the shape of the outer edge of platform 7. The cleaning device includes a brush 12 and a drive device that rotates the brush 12 around the platform 7. The brush 12 contacts the protective cover 9 during rotation to clean it and maintain the cleanliness of the outside of the protective cover, ensuring the clarity of the camera's image.
[0023] Preferably, the drive device includes a connecting disc fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the platform 7, a gear 10 arranged on the mounting disc through a bearing, and a connecting frame 11 fixedly arranged on the gear 10. The connecting frame 11 is L-shaped, with its horizontal rod fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the gear 10. The brush 12 is arranged on the vertical rod of the connecting frame 11 and faces the inner side of the platform 7. The projection of the brush 12 on the horizontal plane falls on the platform 7 (that is, during the rotation of the brush 12, it interferes with the protective cover 9 to clean it). A cleaning motor 13 is fixedly arranged on the top surface of the platform 7, with its output shaft downwardly penetrating through the platform 7 and transmissionally connected to the gear 10. The rotation of the cleaning motor 13 drives the gear 10 to rotate, thereby making the brush 12 pass by the position of the protective cover 9. For those skilled in the art, it can be known that, since the connecting frame 11 is arranged on the gear 10, the gear 10 cannot rotate 360°, but can be set to reciprocate at an angle of 270° or other angles, as long as it can make the brush 12 pass by the position of the protective cover 9 to clean it.
[0024] In the normal state, the camera 8 faces the front position, and the brush 12 is located at the position behind it at this time. During the inspection, the angle of the camera 8 is adjusted with the rotating stand 2. Under the action of the inspection motor and friction, the brush 12 also rotates with the platform 7, so that the brush 12 is always located at the position behind it and does not affect the imaging. When it is necessary to clean the protective cover 9, the cleaning motor 13 works to drive the brush to reciprocate within a certain angle range. After cleaning, the brush 12 returns to the initial position.
[0025] The bottom end of the rotating column 2 is fixedly arranged on the synchronous wheel 3, a placing groove for placing the synchronous wheel 3 is arranged on the top surface of the vehicle body 1, a center shaft is arranged at the center position of the placing groove, the center shaft and the center hole arranged on the synchronous wheel 3 and the rotating column 2 are connected through a bearing.
[0026] Preferably, a ring-shaped cover plate 6 is arranged on the top surface of the vehicle body 1 and above the synchronous wheel 3, and a thrust ball bearing is arranged between the cover plate 6 and the synchronous wheel 3.
[0027] As an intelligent inspection robot, a temperature and humidity sensor for monitoring indoor temperature and humidity is further arranged on the vehicle body 1, an ozone sensor for judging whether there is a discharge phenomenon in the switch cabinet by measuring the ozone content and comparing the change of the ozone content, and an ultrasonic ranging module is further arranged, which is located at the front position of the vehicle body 1 and can judge whether there is an obstacle such as a switch cabinet or a switch cabinet door in front of the robot, and the robot can avoid the obstacle by changing the direction of the vehicle body 1. A power module is further arranged in the vehicle body 1 to supply power to the whole machine. The camera 8 is connected with the upper computer through a wireless communication module to realize real-time monitoring. The temperature and humidity sensor, the ozone sensor and the ultrasonic ranging module are connected with the controller, and the controller is also connected with the upper computer through the wireless communication module, so that the real-time uploading and recording of the detection data can be realized, and the timeliness and integrity of the data can be ensured.
[0028] The utility model adopts the brush as the cleaning device, utilizes the driving device to drive the brush to reciprocate and deflect in certain angle range, can realize the quick cleaning of the protective cover. The camera rotates with the rotating column, can realize the multi-angle position inspection on the horizontal plane, and the whole machine structure is simple, and the cost is low.
[0029] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, and not to limit them; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that: it still can modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent replacement to part of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and range of the technical solutions of the utility model examples.
