Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural greenhouse technology, and in particular relates to a track-mounted inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] An agricultural greenhouse is a structure that grows crops by artificially controlling environmental conditions. It is usually covered with transparent materials that utilize the greenhouse effect to maintain the internal temperature, thereby providing a suitable growing environment for crops and avoiding the impact of external climate. To ensure healthy crop growth, optimize production efficiency, and reduce risks, the internal conditions of the agricultural greenhouse are inspected in real time.

[0003] Currently, the inspection of changes in the greenhouse environment, crop growth, and pest and disease infection status mainly relies on manual inspection. Due to the high temperature and poor air circulation in greenhouses, as well as the potential for pesticide volatilization, the risk factor of the inspection work is increased. At the same time, manual inspection results in increased labor intensity and poorer monitoring effectiveness. To address these issues, we have developed a track-mounted inspection robot for agricultural greenhouses. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rail-mounted inspection robot that, through the cooperation of the driving and adjusting components, solves the problem that relying on manual inspection in agricultural greenhouses in the prior art leads to increased danger and poor monitoring results.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0006] This utility model relates to a rail-mounted inspection robot, comprising a frame, an internal profile guide rail, a drive frame at the bottom of the profile guide rail, and a detection head at the bottom of the frame. A drive and travel assembly is located at the bottom of the profile guide rail, comprising a servo motor fixedly connected to the top of the drive frame, an active synchronous pulley fixed to the output end of the servo motor, a driven synchronous pulley located on one side of the active synchronous pulley, a drive wheel fixedly connected to the rear of the driven synchronous pulley, and a hanging wheel located on top of the drive wheel. The drive and travel assembly drives the entire robot to move along the profile guide rail. An adjustment assembly is located on top of the detection head, comprising a multi-stage telescopic rod located at the bottom of the frame and a rotating head fixedly connected to the bottom of the multi-stage telescopic rod. The adjustment assembly adjusts the detection position of the detection head.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the driving component includes a synchronous drive belt disposed on the surfaces of the active synchronous pulley and the driven synchronous pulley, and a curved adjustment wheel disposed on one side of the pulley.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the top of the drive wheel is in contact with the profile guide rail, and the rear side of the drive wheel is movably connected to the drive frame.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the frame is fixedly connected to the drive frame, and the detection head is fixedly connected to the rotating head.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the pulley is movably connected to the drive frame, and the bottom of the pulley contacts the profile guide rail.

[0011] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0012] 1. This utility model replaces traditional manual inspection with a track-mounted inspection robot. It can automatically move along guide rails inside the greenhouse, collecting real-time data on temperature, humidity, gas type, and crop growth. This significantly improves inspection efficiency and reduces the time and labor intensity of manual inspections. Because the internal environment of agricultural greenhouses is complex, potentially containing high temperatures, poor air circulation, and pesticide volatilization, manual inspections pose certain safety hazards. Robotic inspection avoids manual entry into dangerous environments, reducing the inherent risks of inspection work.

[0013] 2. This utility model utilizes a robot equipped with an infrared camera and various sensors to accurately monitor environmental parameters and crop growth within the greenhouse. Data is transmitted in real-time to an external monitoring platform via a communication network, helping farmers promptly understand environmental changes and crop health conditions, thus optimizing production management. Through multi-stage telescopic rods and a rotating head adjustment assembly, the detection head can move up and down and rotate, flexibly adjusting its position to ensure comprehensive coverage of all areas within the greenhouse and avoid blind spots. The robot is equipped with adaptive rollers and curved adjustment wheels, enabling it to adapt to turns of different radii, ensuring stability during straight-line movement and turning within the greenhouse, preventing frame swaying, and guaranteeing continuous and stable inspection. The multi-stage telescopic rods are detachably connected to the drive frame via limit pins, facilitating inspection and maintenance and extending the equipment's lifespan.

[0014] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model is a rail-mounted inspection robot, including a frame 1. A profile guide rail 2 is installed inside the frame 1, serving as the robot's walking track. It can be installed inside a greenhouse. Adaptive rollers are installed on both sides of the profile guide rail 2, constantly conforming to its sides to allow for turning within a certain radius. The adaptive rollers are movably connected to the drive frame 3 via bearings. The drive frame 3 is located at the bottom of the profile guide rail 2. A detection head 4 is located at the bottom of the frame 1, consisting of an infrared camera and various sensors at its end to collect data on temperature, humidity, gas conditions, and crop growth inside the greenhouse. A drive assembly is located at the bottom of the profile guide rail 2, including a servo motor 5 fixedly connected to the top of the drive frame 3, an active synchronous pulley 6 fixed to the output end of the servo motor 5, and a driven synchronous pulley 7 located on one side of the active synchronous pulley 6. The driven synchronous pulley 7 is connected to... The drive frames 3 are movably connected by bearings, and the drive wheel 8 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the driven synchronous belt pulley 7. The drive wheel 8 moves by friction with the profile guide rail 2, and the hanging wheel 9 is set on the top of the drive wheel 8. The hanging wheel 9 can limit the entire robot. The entire robot is driven to move along the profile guide rail 2 by the drive travel component. The top of the detection head 4 is equipped with an adjustment component, which includes a multi-stage telescopic rod 10 set at the bottom of the frame 1 and a rotating head 11 fixedly connected to the bottom of the multi-stage telescopic rod 10. The multi-stage telescopic rod 10 is detachably connected to the drive frame 3 by a limit pin for maintenance. The detection position of the detection head 4 is adjusted by the adjustment component. The entire robot is connected to an external monitoring platform and mobile terminal through a communication network. It can transmit the collected data in real time, identify and analyze plants through an infrared camera, and control the entire robot through two-way voice.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, the driving component further includes a synchronous drive belt 12 disposed on the surfaces of the active synchronous pulley 6 and the driven synchronous pulley 7, which are connected by the synchronous drive belt 12. A curved adjustment wheel 13 is disposed on one side of the hanging wheel 9. The curved adjustment wheel 13 is movably connected to the drive frame 3 via a bearing, and a spring preload exists between it and the frame 1 to ensure that the frame 1 always fits tightly against the outer contour of the profile guide rail 2, preventing the frame 1 from swaying left and right, thus ensuring that the frame 1 travels in a straight line or turns. The top of the drive wheel 8 contacts the profile guide rail 2, and the rear side of the drive wheel 8 is movably connected to the drive frame 3 via a bearing. The rear side of the drive wheel 8 is movably connected to the drive frame 3. The frame 1 is fixedly connected to the drive frame 3. The detection head 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating head 11. The hanging wheel 9 is movably connected to the drive frame 3 via a bearing, and the bottom of the hanging wheel 9 contacts the profile guide rail 2.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the profile guide rail 2 is installed inside the greenhouse to ensure that the profile guide rail 2 is stable. Then, the robot is connected to the external monitoring platform and mobile terminal through the communication network to ensure the real-time and reliable data transmission.

[0028] The servo motor 5 is activated by a two-way voice control mechanism. The servo motor 5 drives the active synchronous pulley 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven synchronous pulley 7 and the drive wheel 8 via the synchronous drive belt 12. The drive wheel 8 moves using the friction between itself and the profile guide rail 2, thereby moving the hanging wheel 9 along the profile guide rail 2, enabling the robot's automatic inspection. During movement, the adaptive rollers can turn with a certain radius, ensuring the robot can cover all areas within the greenhouse.

[0029] During robot movement, the multi-stage telescopic rod 10 and rotating head 11 can adjust the position of the detection head 4 as needed. The multi-stage telescopic rod 10 drives the detection head 4 to move up and down, while the rotating head 11 drives the detection head 4 to rotate, ensuring that the detection head 4 can fully cover the crops and environment inside the greenhouse. The detection head 4 collects real-time data on temperature, humidity, gas type, and crop growth inside the greenhouse through an infrared camera and various sensors.

[0030] The data collected by the detection head 4 is transmitted in real time to an external monitoring platform and mobile terminal via a communication network. Farmers can use the monitoring platform to view the environmental parameters and crop growth in the greenhouse in real time, and make corresponding management decisions based on the data, such as adjusting irrigation, ventilation, or fertilization.

[0031] During the turning process, the spring preload between the curved adjustment wheel 13 and the frame 1 ensures that the frame 1 remains in close contact with the outer contour of the profile guide rail 2, preventing the frame 1 from swaying left and right and ensuring the stability and continuity of the robot during turning. This enables automated inspection of agricultural greenhouses, significantly improving inspection efficiency and monitoring accuracy, reducing the risks of manual inspection, and providing farmers with a more convenient and precise greenhouse management solution.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
