[0027] The utility model provides a kind of data acquisition device as shown in Figures 1-5 It includes:

[0029] A cleaning brush 6 is arranged at the front end of the data collector 1 for cleaning the lens 3.

[0030] One end of the bottom of the data collector 1 is connected with a convex bracket 9 and the bottom of the convex bracket 9 is connected with a rotating bracket 7, the gear 4 is rotatably connected in the rotating bracket 7 through a rotating shaft, a motor 8 is arranged on the rotating bracket 7 and the output shaft of the motor 8 is connected with the rotating shaft, the model of the motor 8 is BH24BYJ48, the vibration and noise generated during operation are relatively smaller, and more stable rotation can be achieved.

[0031] One end of the bottom of the ceiling 2 is connected with a first magnet 10 and the top of the lifting plate 5 is connected with a second magnet 11, one end of the lifting plate 5 slides through the convex bracket 9 and is magnetically attracted by the second magnet 11 and the first magnet 10, after the lifting plate 5 is lifted, the second magnet 11 and the first magnet 10 attract each other, so that the lifting plate 5 is kept in the protection position, preventing the lifting plate 5 from falling accidentally due to external vibration, shaking and other factors, thereby ensuring that the lens 3 is continuously and effectively protected.

[0032] Both ends of the lifting plate 5 are connected with sliding strips 19 which are slidably connected with sliding grooves arranged in the convex bracket 9, the surface of the lifting plate 5 is connected with a gear rack 12 and the gear 4 is engaged with the gear rack 12, the sliding connection of the sliding strips 19 and the sliding grooves can effectively limit the movement direction of the lifting plate 5, preventing it from shaking, deviating or tilting during lifting, and ensuring the stability of movement.

[0033] A motor 13 is arranged in the data collector 1 and the output shaft of the motor 13 is fixed with the cleaning brush 6 through bolt screwing, bolt screwing is adopted, when the cleaning brush 6 is installed, only the bolt needs to be tightened to complete the connection, and when the cleaning brush 6 needs to be replaced due to wear or failure, the cleaning brush 6 can be conveniently removed for maintenance or replacement by disassembling the bolt.

[0034] An active groove 14 is arranged in the cleaning brush 6, a scraping strip 15 is slidably connected in the active groove 14 through a sliding block and one side of the scraping strip 15 is in contact with the lens 3, a plurality of springs 16 are connected between the scraping strip 15 and the cleaning brush 6, the scraping strip 15 is made of silica gel and has good flexibility and elasticity, which can tightly fit the lens 3 and effectively remove dust and stains.

[0035] A mobile robot comprising the data acquisition device.

[0036] Further comprising a mobile robot 17, the top of which is fixed with a mounting rack 18 through bolted connection, and the bottom of the data acquisition device 1 is rotationally connected with the mounting rack 18 through a damping pivot. When the mobile robot 17 needs to adjust the angle of data acquisition during work, the operator can manually rotate the data acquisition device 1 according to actual needs. The damping force provided by the damping pivot enables the operator to accurately control the rotation angle of the data acquisition device 1, avoiding excessive angle adjustment due to excessive force. After adjusting to the appropriate angle, the data acquisition device 1 is stably kept at this position by the resistance of the damping pivot, ensuring that the lens 3 can accurately aim at the area where data needs to be collected, improving the pertinence and effectiveness of data acquisition, and making the mobile robot 17 better adapt to complex and variable working environments.

[0037] The data acquisition device and the mobile robot containing the same, when the mobile robot 17 is in a non-working state or idle, the motor 8 is started by the external controller, the output shaft of the motor 8 drives the pivot connected thereto, and the gear 4 starts to rotate in the rotating frame 7. Since the gear 4 and the rack 12 on the surface of the lifting plate 5 are in meshing relationship, according to the transmission principle of the gear 4 and the rack 12, the rotational motion of the gear 4 is converted into the linear lifting motion of the lifting plate 5. With the continuous rotation of the gear 4, the lifting plate 5 moves upward along the pre-set sliding groove on the convex frame 9. The sliding strip 19 slides in the sliding groove to ensure the smooth lifting of the lifting plate 5. A position sensor is installed in the ceiling 2. When the lifting plate 5 is lifted to contact the first magnet 10, the position sensor detects the signal and transmits it to the controller. After receiving the signal, the controller immediately issues an instruction to stop the operation of the motor 8, so that the lifting plate 5 stops at the appropriate position, effectively avoiding the problem of excessive lifting of the lifting plate 5. When the lifting plate 5 is lifted to a specific position, the second magnet 11 connected to the top of the lifting plate 5 approaches the first magnet 10 at the bottom of the ceiling 2, and is tightly magnetically attracted under the action of magnetic force, so that the lifting plate 5 is stably kept in the lifted state, forming a reliable protective barrier in front of the lens 3, avoiding direct exposure of the lens 3 to the external environment, reducing the possibility of lens 3 being contaminated by dust, water stains, oil stains and other pollutants, and reducing the risk of physical collision damage to the lens 3;

[0038] When the lens 3 needs to be cleaned, the motor 13 in the data collector 1 is started by an external controller, and the output shaft drives the cleaning brush 6 to start rotating. During the rotation of the cleaning brush 6, the spring 16 provides continuous pressure to the scraping strip 15, so that the scraping strip 15 is always in contact with the surface of the lens 3. With the rotation of the cleaning brush 6, the scraping strip 15 slides on the surface of the lens 3, and the dust, stains and other impurities on the surface of the lens 3 are scraped off, thereby achieving the cleaning of the lens 3. The presence of the spring 16 enables the scraping strip 15 to closely adhere to the lens 3, which not only ensures the cleaning effect, but also avoids hard scratches on the lens 3.

[0039] During the operation of the mobile robot 17, the data collector 1 plays a key role. The mobile robot 17 moves autonomously in the working environment according to the preset task planning and navigation algorithm. During the movement, the data collector 1 collects the data of the surrounding environment in real time. During the execution of the task by the mobile robot 17, the lens 3 of the data collector 1 serves as a key entrance for data collection, and is responsible for collecting image and video information of the surrounding environment. According to the principle of optical imaging, the lens 3 focuses the external scene on the image sensor in the data collector 1. The image sensor converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is then processed and converted by the signal processing circuit inside the data collector 1 into a digital signal, which is finally stored in the data storage module or transmitted to the control system of the mobile robot 17 or external equipment through the communication module, thereby providing important data support for the navigation, target recognition, environment monitoring and other tasks of the mobile robot 17. The mobile robot 17 obtains the position, shape, identification and other information of the goods through the data collector. In the environment monitoring scene, the data collector 1 collects image or video information related to environmental parameters such as air quality, temperature and humidity. The data collected by the data collector 1 is transmitted to the control system of the mobile robot 17 in real time, and the control system analyzes and processes these data, adjusts the motion trajectory, speed and other parameters of the mobile robot 17 according to the preset rules and algorithms, so as to ensure that the mobile robot 17 can accurately complete the task, such as accurately transporting goods or comprehensively monitoring the environment.
