Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of track inspection technology, and in particular to a track hoisting device for a track inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] Tracks are used for transporting people and goods, providing convenience for people's daily lives and improving the efficiency of people's lives and production.

[0003] I-beams are required as rails in underground coal mines, inclined ramps in metal mines, and corrosive environments in salt mines. Existing I-beam hoisting technologies have the following problems: Reliance on welding: Traditional methods require welding lifting points onto the I-beam or rail, which damages the structure and is unsuitable for welding-prohibited scenarios; Poor adaptability: Fixed lifting devices cannot flexibly adapt to I-beams of different sizes, requiring customized modifications; Safety hazards: Welded points are prone to fatigue fracture, and high-altitude welding operations are high-risk.

[0004] To address this issue, a track hoisting device for a track inspection robot is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a track hoisting device for a track inspection robot, aiming to improve the existing technology that requires the use of I-beams as tracks in underground coal mines, metal mine ramps, and corrosive environments such as salt mines. Existing I-beam hoisting technology has the following problems: Reliance on welding fixation: Traditional methods require welding lifting points onto the I-beam or track, which damages the structure and is unsuitable for welding-prohibited scenarios; Poor adaptability: Fixed hoisting devices cannot flexibly adapt to I-beams of different sizes, requiring customized modifications; Safety hazards: Welded points are prone to fatigue fracture, and high-altitude welding operations pose high risks.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A track hoisting device for a track inspection robot includes: an I-beam, a U-shaped frame at the bottom of the I-beam, an opening on the surface of the U-shaped frame, a connecting rod inside the opening, an L-shaped plate at the top of the connecting rod, a positioning plate at the bottom of the connecting rod, and a hoisting frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning plate.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, the I-beam, as the main body, possesses excellent bending resistance and high strength due to its unique I-shaped cross-section, enabling it to stably support the weight of the robot and related equipment and ensure the stability of the entire device. The U-shaped frame, through its opening and connecting rod, not only facilitates installation and disassembly but also allows for adjustment of the lifting position to a certain extent, enhancing the flexibility and applicability of the device. The connecting rod can limit and fix the L-shaped plate, preventing it from shifting during lifting. The positioning plate is connected to the connecting rod, further strengthening the structural stability and providing a reliable installation foundation for the lifting frame. The lifting frame directly undertakes the task of lifting the track, and its robust structural design ensures the safety of the robot during lifting and operation. These components work together to ensure the efficient operation and reliable use of the track inspection robot's track lifting device.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the top of the U-shaped frame is provided with a square groove, and the number of square grooves and openings are both several and evenly distributed in a straight line. The square grooves are used in conjunction with the L-shaped plate and the openings.

[0010] The aforementioned technical solution, with its numerous uniformly distributed square slots and openings in a straight line, significantly enhances the flexibility and adjustability of the device. By adjusting the alignment of the L-shaped plates with different slots and openings, efficient adjustments can be made based on the width of the I-beam. The uniformly distributed straight-line layout ensures more even stress distribution, enhancing the overall structural stability. In actual installation, this design also allows for flexible selection of suitable installation points based on the length of the I-beam and site conditions, improving installation efficiency. Simultaneously, it provides a reliable guarantee for the smooth operation and precise positioning of the track inspection robot.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the positioning plate and the L-shaped plate by a nut.

[0012] The above technical solution utilizes a detachable nut fastening method, simplifying installation. Simply tightening the nut with conventional tools quickly and securely connects the positioning plate, L-shaped plate, and connecting rod, significantly improving assembly efficiency. During later maintenance and repair, disassembling the nut allows for easy separation of components, facilitating replacement of damaged parts or overall structural adjustments. Furthermore, the nut connection provides a stable and reliable fastening force, effectively preventing loosening between the positioning plate, L-shaped plate, and connecting rod even under vibration, impact, or other external forces during the operation of the track inspection robot. This ensures the structural stability of the lifting device, guarantees safe robot operation, and extends the service life of the entire track lifting device.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: the inner side of the L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the I-beam.

[0014] The above technical solution uses L-shaped plates and U-shaped frames to clamp and fix the I-beams, making the track installation more stable and effectively improving the stability and efficiency of the inspection robot, making it easier for users to operate.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The track hoisting device for the track inspection robot in this utility model uses an I-beam as the main load-bearing structure. A U-shaped frame engages with a connecting rod via a through-hole, and nuts are used to fix the positioning plate, L-shaped plate, and connecting rod, ensuring a tight connection between the inner side of the L-shaped plate and the surface of the I-beam, thus achieving a stable connection between the U-shaped frame and the I-beam. The evenly distributed square grooves and through-holes on the U-shaped frame allow for flexible adjustment of the hoisting position. The positioning plate is fixed to the bottom of the connecting rod and connected to the hoisting frame, thereby enabling the hoisting of the track inspection robot. All components work together, and through reasonable connection and adjustment methods, ensure the robot's safe and stable operation on the track.

[0017] 2. This utility model significantly improves the flexibility and adjustability of the device by using several square grooves and openings evenly distributed in a straight line. By adjusting the matching position of the L-shaped plate in different square grooves and openings, it is easy to make efficient adjustments according to the width of the I-beam. The evenly distributed straight line layout makes the force more uniform and enhances the stability of the overall structure. In the actual installation process, this design also makes it easy to flexibly select the appropriate installation point according to the length of the I-beam and the site conditions, thereby improving installation efficiency. At the same time, it provides a reliable guarantee for the smooth operation and accurate positioning of the track inspection robot. Attached Figure Description
