Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotics technology, and in particular to a liftable inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] A robot is an intelligent machine capable of semi-autonomous or fully autonomous operation. Robots can perform tasks such as work or movement through programming and automatic control. With the continuous advancement of technology, inspection robots will gradually become more standardized and modular. Among them, inspection robots are robots that can automatically perform inspection tasks and are widely used in various scenarios to improve work efficiency and safety.

[0003] In industrial inspection scenarios, traditional inspection robots often have a fixed detection height, making it difficult to adapt to the inspection needs of equipment at different heights in complex environments. For example, in production lines with varying heights, multi-layered warehouses with multiple shelves, or factories with dense pipes, inspection robots with a fixed height may not be able to effectively detect instrument readings, loose bolts, or surface damage on equipment at higher locations. Furthermore, in traditional designs, the detection module has a fixed orientation, requiring the entire robot to be turned to adjust the detection angle, which is inefficient. To address these issues, we propose a height-adjustable inspection robot. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a liftable inspection robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

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

[0006] A height-adjustable inspection robot includes a robot body. A square box is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the robot body. A height adjustment component is fixedly installed inside the square box. A U-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the height adjustment component. An I-shaped slider is slidably connected inside the U-shaped plate. A circular cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the I-shaped slider. A connecting seat is fixedly connected to the back of the U-shaped plate. An electric push rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting seat. A transmission rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod. The outer surface of the transmission rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the circular cylinder. Two fixing rings are fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the circular cylinder. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the interior of the two fixing rings. A driven gear is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular cylinder. A driving gear meshing with the driven gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. An inspection and detection module is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft.

[0007] In a further embodiment, two indicator lights are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the square box.

[0008] In a further embodiment, a guide groove is provided on the back of the square box, and a square slider is slidably connected inside the guide groove. The outer surface of the square slider is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting seat.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the height adjustment component includes a geared motor fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the square box and a fixed plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square box. The output end of the geared motor passes through the fixed plate and is fixedly connected to a lead screw. The outer surface of the lead screw has a threaded ring. The outer surface of the threaded ring is fixedly connected to a transmission plate. The outer surface of the transmission plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the U-shaped plate.

[0010] In a further embodiment, two sliding rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square box, and the transmission plate is slidably connected to the two sliding rods.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the outer surface of the square box has a square opening, the size of which is adapted to the size of the rectangular plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This device uses a geared motor in the height adjustment unit to drive a lead screw, which in turn moves the circular plate up and down along the square box. This allows the inspection module to cover targets at different heights, enabling height adjustments to suit various needs without manual intervention. The drive motor, through the meshing of active and driven gears, rotates the shaft, allowing the inspection module to rotate horizontally at multiple angles. This allows for scanning the surrounding environment without robot movement, improving inspection efficiency. Furthermore, the horizontal position of the cylindrical cylinder can be adjusted via an electric push rod, allowing for fine-tuning of the inspection distance in confined spaces and adapting to complex layouts.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4In this utility model, a height-adjustable inspection robot includes an inspection robot body 1. A square box 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the inspection robot body 1. A height adjustment component 6 is fixedly installed inside the square box 2. A U-shaped plate 7 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the height adjustment component 6. An I-shaped slider 8 is slidably connected inside the U-shaped plate 7. A circular cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the I-shaped slider 8. A connecting seat 9 is fixedly connected to the back of the U-shaped plate 7. An electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting seat 9. A transmission rod 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 10. The outer surface of the transmission rod 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the circular cylinder 4. Two fixing rings 12 are fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the circular cylinder 4. A rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected inside the two fixing rings 12. A driven gear 15 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 14. A drive motor 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular cylinder 4. A driven gear 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 16. The drive gear 17 meshes with the gear 15, and the top of the rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the inspection module 5. The inspection module 5 integrates a variety of detection devices, including a high-definition camera, an infrared thermal imager, an ultrasonic flaw detector, and a gas detector. The high-definition camera can acquire high-definition images of the equipment for visual inspection. The infrared thermal imager can detect the temperature distribution of the equipment and detect abnormalities such as overheating. The ultrasonic flaw detector can detect defects in the internal structure of the equipment. The gas detector is used to detect the concentration of harmful gases in the environment to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. The drive motor 16 meshes with the drive gear 15 through the drive gear 17, driving the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. This enables the inspection module 5 to achieve multi-angle horizontal rotation, scanning the surrounding environment without the need for robot movement, improving detection efficiency. Furthermore, the horizontal position of the cylindrical cylinder 4 can be adjusted by the electric push rod 10, allowing for fine-tuning of the detection distance in confined spaces and adapting to complex layouts.

[0023] Two indicator lights 3 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the square box 2. The indicator lights 3 provide intuitive feedback on the robot's status. For example, green indicates normal inspection, and red indicates malfunction or lifting / lowering, thus improving the efficiency of human-machine interaction. A guide groove 19 is provided on the back of the square box 2. A square slider 13 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 19. The outer surface of the square slider 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting seat 9. When adjusting the position of the ring plate 7, the connecting seat 9 can be moved up and down, thereby moving the square slider 13 within the guide groove 19, improving the stability of the ring plate 7's movement.

[0024] The height adjustment component 6 includes a geared motor 601 fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the square box 2 and a fixed plate 602 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square box 2. The output end of the geared motor 601 passes through the fixed plate 602 and is fixedly connected to a lead screw 603. The outer surface of the lead screw 603 has a threaded ring 604. The outer surface of the threaded ring 604 is fixedly connected to a transmission plate 605. The outer surface of the transmission plate 605 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the U-shaped plate 7. It can detect the height requirement as needed. When the geared motor 601 starts, it causes the lead screw 603 to rotate, driving the threaded ring 604 and the transmission plate 605. The moving plate 605 rises, and the U-shaped plate 7 moves upward along the square box 2 until the inspection and detection module 5 reaches the target height. Two sliding rods 606 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square box 2. The transmission plate 605 is slidably connected to the two sliding rods 606. The sliding rods 606 share the lateral force of the transmission plate 605, preventing the lead screw 603 from wearing due to uneven force, thus extending the mechanical life. A square opening 18 is opened on the outer surface of the square box 2. The size of the square opening 18 is adapted to the size of the U-shaped plate 7. The square opening 18 provides an unobstructed lifting channel for the U-shaped plate 7, ensuring smooth movement.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] When it is necessary to inspect equipment at height, the geared motor 601 is started, and the lead screw 603 rotates, which drives the threaded ring 604 and the transmission plate 605 to rise under the action of the thread. The movement of the transmission plate 605 can move the U-shaped plate 7 up and down, and then move the cylindrical cylinder 4, until the inspection module 5 reaches the target height. Then, the drive motor 16 can be started, which drives the drive gear 17 to rotate, which drives the driven gear 15 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 15 then drives the rotating shaft 14 and the inspection module 5 to adjust the horizontal angle. Then, the electric push rod 10 can be started to push the transmission rod 11 to slide the cylindrical cylinder 4 and the I-shaped slider 8 left and right along the U-shaped plate 7, which facilitates the fine adjustment of the position of the inspection module 5, so as to perform a more comprehensive horizontal scan of the equipment surface, take images or read data.
