[0024] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] This utility model provides an emergency fire-fighting robot system, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes a track 1 and a fire-fighting robot 2. The track 1 is suspended and fixed at the top of the tunnel, and the fire-fighting robot 2 is installed on the track 1 and moves along the track.

[0026] The fire-fighting robot 2 includes a body component 3, on which a power component 4 and a fire monitor 5 are installed. The power component 4 works in conjunction with the track 1, and the fire monitor 5 is connected to a fire hydrant via a fire hose 6.

[0027] This utility model utilizes a track-mounted robot for automatic fire suppression. When a fire is detected, the robot's power unit quickly reaches the location, extending the fire hose from the fire hydrant to the fire site inside the tunnel, and then extinguishing the fire with a high-pressure water cannon, thus achieving rapid fire suppression.

[0028] The track 1 of this utility model includes a vertically arranged wall panel 7 and a tread plate 8 located at the bottom of the wall panel 7 and arranged horizontally. The wall panel 7 and the tread plate 8 are in an inverted T shape. The top surface of the tread plate 8 forms symmetrical walking tread surfaces 9 on both sides of the wall panel 7. The walking tread surfaces 9 have a slope with a set downward inclination from the inside to the outside.

[0029] Correspondingly, the power assembly 4 includes powered wheels 10, unpowered traveling wheels 11, and unpowered guide wheels 22. The powered wheels 10 are symmetrically arranged laterally on both sides of the wall panel 7, and press against the sides of the wall panel 7. The powered wheels 10 are connected to a motor 23. The unpowered traveling wheels 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the wall panel 7, and press against the traveling tread surface 9. The unpowered guide wheels 22 are symmetrically arranged laterally on both sides of the tread panel 8, and press against the edges of both sides of the tread panel 8.

[0030] Most inspection robots on the market currently use I-beam tracks, with guide wheels added laterally to prevent the robot from scraping against the track sidewalls during operation, which increases the complexity of the robot design.

[0031] This invention designs the walking tread surface beneath the track as a sloped surface with a certain angle. When the robot's unpowered wheels travel on this tread surface, their own weight automatically adjusts their center, ensuring the robot does not scrape against the sidewalls. Compared to I-beam steel track structures, this design saves more material, prevents the robot from scraping against the track, improves the robot's stability during operation, and has a simple and reliable structure. Furthermore, the unpowered guide wheels ensure smooth robot operation.

[0032] Existing track hoisting structures are relatively complex and prone to damage during use, affecting normal operation. This invention features a concave narrowing at the upper part of the wall panel 7 to form a hanging part 12, which can be combined with KBK hangers for easy hoisting and installation.

[0033] To facilitate the connection between adjacent tracks, a connecting groove 13 is provided at the top of the wall panel 7 and at the bottom of the walking tread 9 on the tread panel 8. The connecting groove 13 is used to insert a fixing slider for connecting and fixing between tracks.

[0034] Hollow slots 14 are provided on the wall panel 7 and the tread panel 8, which are used to reduce weight and can also be used to set other required structures.

[0035] This invention can be powered by a battery, in which case the motor 23 is connected to the battery pack, which is mounted on the body assembly 3.

[0036] Alternatively, power can be supplied via a sliding contact line. In this case, sliding contact lines are provided on both sides of the track, and a brush assembly 15 is provided on the machine body assembly. The brush assembly is connected to a lifting device 24, and the brush assembly 15 slides in contact with the sliding contact line. The motor 23 is connected to the brush assembly 15.

[0037] Alternatively, both of the above power supply methods can be used simultaneously.

[0038] As an improvement, the emergency fire-fighting robot system of this utility model also includes a fire hose pod 16, which is suspended on the track 1. The fire hose 6 is stored in the fire hose pod 16, and the fire hose pod 16 has a quick-connect and disconnect structure 17 for connecting with the fire-fighting robot 2.

[0039] One end of the fire hose 6 is connected to the fire monitor 5, and the other end is connected to the fire hydrant via a quick-connect fitting 18. The quick-connect fitting 18 is transported by a trailer 19, which is mounted on and moves along the track 1.

[0040] The fuselage and power components of the trailer vehicle 19 are the same as those of the fire-fighting robot, only the equipment mounted on them is different.

[0041] The aforementioned body component 3 is equipped with a camera 20 and a microphone / speaker module 21. The fire monitor 5 is equipped with a flame sensor. The fire robot 2 automatically identifies fire sources during its patrols, enabling it to promptly detect fires and initiate firefighting operations. It quickly connects to the nearest fire hydrant, pulls the fire hose, and reaches the fire source to extinguish the fire. It can also be manually controlled to issue announcements, promptly manage the situation, evacuate the public, and alert vehicles approaching the fire source to prevent secondary accidents.

[0042] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
