Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of search and rescue robot equipment, specifically a robot solar panel folding device. Background Technology

[0002] The research on reconnaissance and rescue robots utilizes bionics, combining biological mechanisms with mechanical movements and structures to create biomimetic designs. Based on arthropods, it mimics the physiological structure and locomotion principles of spiders, designing robots capable of balanced walking, orientation, and sensing external stimuli. Structurally distinct from humanoid or wheeled robots, reconnaissance and rescue robots can freely traverse various complex terrains even in poor conditions, exhibiting excellent motion stability and adaptability to unstructured environments. They are considered the optimal choice for tasks such as extreme environment detection, disaster relief, and national defense.

[0003] Exploration and rescue robots mostly use solar panels (composed of multiple rectangular solar panels) to achieve long-term power supply. Specifically, they provide the necessary power for the vehicle body and the robot itself. Multiple solar panels are arranged on the roof. When the rescue robot enters a more complex and dangerous environment, the solar panels cannot be folded or stored, which can easily cause damage to the solar panels. On the other hand, the roof is equipped with a base plate for installing solar panels. This kind of arrangement results in extremely low utilization of the base plate's surface, meaning that it does not fully utilize the space available to install more solar panels to power the robot. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a robotic solar panel folding device. Its main advantages are: by incorporating a foldable solar panel and a folding storage compartment, the solar panel can be folded and stored inside the compartment via a power unit. Furthermore, lateral sliding rails on both sides of the device limit the folding position of the solar panel to prevent deflection. An inclined plate structure on the power unit adjusts the width of the rails, causing them to move inward after the solar panel is unfolded, further limiting the folding mechanism and improving the stability of the unfolded solar panel. This prevents the solar panel from being affected by the robot's movement. Finally, a solar panel folding compartment cover is located at the rear of the power unit. After the solar panel is folded, the cover covers the opening of the folding storage compartment, providing further protection for the solar panel.

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

[0006] A robotic solar panel folding device includes a solar panel folding plate and a base plate. The solar panel folding plate includes a plate body. A first rotating shaft tube is fixedly installed in the middle of one side of the plate body, and two rotating shaft tubes are fixedly installed at both ends of one side of the plate body. A solar panel folding plate compartment is fixedly installed on the upper side of the base plate. A solar panel folding plate rotating shaft column is fixedly installed inside the solar panel folding plate compartment. The solar panel folding plate is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft column through the rotating shaft tubes. Multiple sets of solar panels are sequentially connected to form folds through the first and second rotating shaft tubes. A rotating shaft rod is installed inside the connecting part of the first and second rotating shaft tubes and is rotatably connected to them. A limiting plate is fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating shaft rod. An extension rod is fixedly installed on the outside of the two limiting plates located at the bottom of the fold, and a spring plate is fixedly installed at the end of the extension rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper part of the base plate has several movable block slots evenly spaced on both sides. A spring rod hole is provided on the outer side of the movable block slot. A spring rod is provided inside the spring rod hole and slidably connected to it. A movable block is fixed at the end of the spring rod and installed in the movable block slot and slidably connected to it. A translation rail rod is provided on the upper part of one side of the movable block. Several spring barrels are provided inside the translation rail rod and are sleeved on the outer periphery of the extension rod. A spring is provided inside the spring barrel and abuts against the spring plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a through groove is provided in the middle of the base plate, and support plates are fixedly provided at the front and rear of the lower part of the base plate. A servo motor is fixedly provided on the outer side of one of the support plates, and the output end of the servo motor passes through the support plate on that side and is rotatably connected to it. A threaded rod is provided inside the support plate on the other side and is rotatably connected to it. One end of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. A threaded block is fitted around the outer circumference of the threaded rod and is threadedly engaged with it. The threaded block is installed inside the through groove and is slidably connected to it. A movable inclined plate is fixedly provided on the upper part of the threaded block and installed inside the translational track rods on both sides. Several connecting columns are fixedly provided at the front of the movable inclined plate and are fixedly connected to the outermost rotating shaft rod. A solar panel folding cover is fixedly provided at the rear of the movable inclined plate. Translational track rod holes corresponding to the shape of the translational track rods are opened on both sides of the solar panel folding cover. A waterproof groove is provided between the support plates on both sides.

[0009] Furthermore, a spider robot is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate.

[0010] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. By setting up foldable solar panels and a foldable storage compartment for the solar panels, the solar panels can be folded and stored inside the compartment by a power unit. This allows the robot to fold the solar panels into the storage compartment for protection when passing through dangerous or humid environments, thereby improving the equipment's passability and preventing damage to the solar charging equipment.

[0012] 2. Left-right sliding track rods are installed on both sides of the device to limit the folding position of the solar panel and prevent deflection. Furthermore, an inclined plate structure is installed on the power structure to adjust the width of the track rods on both sides. This allows the track rods to move inwards after the solar panel is unfolded, limiting the folding mechanism and improving the stability of the unfolded solar panel. This prevents the solar panel from being affected by the robot's movement. A solar panel folding compartment cover is further installed at the rear of the power unit. After the power unit folds the solar panel, the cover covers the opening of the folding storage compartment, providing further protection for the solar panel. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0027] Example: A robotic solar panel folding device

[0028] like Figure 1-12 As shown, a robotic solar panel folding device has the following specific structure:

[0029] A folding solar panel device for a robot includes a folding solar panel 1 for generating electricity through sunlight to power a robot battery, and a base plate 2 for connecting to and supporting the robot. The folding solar panel 1 includes a panel body 3, with a pivot tube 4 fixedly mounted on the middle of one side of the panel body 3, and pivot tubes 5 fixedly mounted at both ends of one side of the panel body 3. A folding solar panel compartment 6 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the base plate 2, and a folding solar panel pivot column 7 is fixedly mounted inside the folding solar panel compartment 6. The folding solar panel 1 is sleeved around the pivot column 7 via the pivot tube 4. The solar folding panels 1 are rotatably connected, and multiple sets of solar folding panels 1 are sequentially connected to the first rotating shaft tube 4 and the second rotating shaft tube 5 to form a fold. A rotating shaft rod 8 is provided inside the connecting part of the first rotating shaft tube 4 and the second rotating shaft tube 5 to rotatably connect with the two. The rotating shaft rod 8 connects each of the solar folding panels 1 to form a fold, so that each of the solar folding panels 1 can be unfolded for use and folded for storage. The two ends of the rotating shaft rod 8 are fixedly provided with limiting plates 9. The two sides of the limiting plates 9 located at the bottom of the fold are fixedly provided with extension rods 10, and spring plates 11 are fixedly provided at the ends of the extension rods 10.

[0030] The upper part of the base plate 2 has several movable block slots 12 evenly spaced on both sides. A spring rod hole 13 is provided on the outer side of each movable block slot 12. A spring rod 14 is slidably connected to the spring rod 14 inside the spring rod hole 13. A movable block 15 is fixedly mounted at the end of the spring rod 14 and slidably connected to it within the movable block slot 12. A translation track rod 16 is provided on the upper part of one side of each movable block 15. Several spring barrels 17 are provided inside the translation track rod 16 and are sleeved around the outer periphery of the extension rod 10. Springs 18 are provided inside the spring barrels 17 and are connected to the extension rod 10. The spring disc 11 abuts against the spring rod 14, which pushes the moving block 15 to move inward into the device. This further pushes the translational track rod 16 connected to each of the moving blocks 15 to move inward, and limits the translational track rod 16 through the moving block groove 12. Furthermore, the spring barrel 17 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the extension rod 10 and is pushed by the spring 18 to move the spring barrel 17 inward and outward along with the translational track rod 16, thereby limiting each of the rotating shaft rods 8 to prevent displacement.

[0031] A through slot 19 is formed in the middle of the base plate 2. Support plates 20 are fixedly installed at the front and rear of the lower part of the base plate 2. A servo motor 21 is fixedly installed on the outer side of one side of the support plate 20. The output end of the servo motor 21 passes through the support plate 20 on that side and is rotatably connected to it. A threaded rod 22 is provided inside the other support plate 20 and is rotatably connected to it. One end of the threaded rod 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 21. A threaded block 23 is fitted around the outer periphery of the threaded rod 22 and is threadedly engaged with it. The threaded block 23 is installed inside the through slot 19 and is slidably connected to it. A movable inclined plate 24 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the threaded block 23 and installed inside the translational track rods 16 on both sides. By controlling the rotation of the servo motor 21, the threaded rod 22 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded block 23 connected to it to move, which in turn drives the movable inclined plate 24 to move. The movable inclined plate 24 supports the translational track rods 16 on both sides to expand outward, thereby enabling each solar panel to fold outward. The stacked plate 1 can be unfolded. Furthermore, when the moving inclined plate 24 leaves the translational track rod 16, the translational track rods 16 on both sides can be disengaged from the support and move inward to limit the position of each of the solar folding panels 1. The front of the moving inclined plate 24 is fixedly provided with several connecting columns 25 and fixedly connected to the outermost rotating shaft rod 8. By driving the moving inclined plate 24 to move, the outermost rotating shaft rod 8 is driven to fold and unfold each of the solar folding panels 1. The rear of the moving inclined plate 24 is fixedly provided with a solar folding panel compartment cover 26, which is used to cover and protect the opening of the solar folding panel compartment 6 when it is driven by the moving inclined plate 24. The solar folding panel compartment cover 26 has translational track rod holes 27 on both sides that correspond to the shape of the translational track rod 16. When the solar folding panel compartment cover 26 moves, it is sleeved on the outer periphery of the translational track rod 16 for sliding. A waterproof groove 28 is connected between the two support plates 20 to prevent water from entering the robot device.

[0032] A spider robot 29 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 2. The spider robot 29 moves the walking device and further provides power to the battery of the spider robot 29 through the solar folding plate 1.

[0033] This solution also includes a controller, the location of which is set by the operator according to the actual situation during operation. The controller is used to control the electrical components used in this solution, including but not limited to sensors, motors, telescopic rods, water pumps, solenoid valves, heating wires, heat pumps, displays, computer input devices, switches, communication devices, lights, speakers, and microphones. The controller is an Intel processor, AMD processor, PLC controller, ARM processor, or microcontroller. It is used in conjunction with a motherboard, memory modules, storage media, and power supply, which is AC power or a lithium battery. When a display screen is provided, a graphics card is also included. For the operating principle of the controller, please refer to "Principles of Automatic Control," "Microcontroller Principles and Application Simulation Cases," and "Sensor Principles and Applications" published by Tsinghua University Press. Other books in this field can also be consulted. Other automation control and electrical components not mentioned are knowledge well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] In use, this device controls the servo motor 21 to rotate, driving the threaded rod 22 to rotate, which in turn moves the threaded block 23, which is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 22, within the through groove 19. This further moves the moving inclined plate 24 towards the rear of the device. The connecting column 25 then moves the rotating shaft 8 connected to it, causing each of the solar folding panels 1 to unfold. Simultaneously, the moving inclined plate 24 moves to a narrower position, causing the translational track rod 16 to move inwards. This moves the translational track rods 16 on both sides inwards to the upper sides of each solar folding panel 1, fixing them in place. The unfolded solar panel 1 generates electricity to replenish the battery of the spider robot 29, which in turn powers the spider robot 29 to operate. When the spider robot 29 enters a more dangerous environment, the servo motor 21 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the moving ramp 24 to move towards the front of the device. The shape of the moving ramp 24 then moves the translational track rods 16 on both sides outward, while simultaneously pushing each of the solar panels 1 to fold. Finally, the solar panels fold into the solar panel compartment 6, and the solar panel compartment cover 26 covers the rear of the solar panel compartment 6 to seal it and protect the solar panels 1.
