Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of navigation chassis structure technology, specifically to a multi-sensor modular navigation chassis structure suitable for blueberry greenhouses. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, my country's blueberry industry has developed rapidly. Greenhouse cultivation, due to its ability to effectively control the environment, extend the growth cycle, and improve fruit quality and yield, has become an important model for large-scale, industrialized blueberry production. However, traditional blueberry greenhouse operations, such as fertilization, irrigation, and harvesting, mainly rely on manual labor. This is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also suffers from inconsistent operating standards and low precision, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern, refined, and intelligent agriculture. With the continuous advancement of agricultural robot technology, navigation chassis, as a core component of agricultural robots, undertake the crucial function of mobile operations. In the complex environment of blueberry greenhouses, traditional single-sensor navigation chassis have many limitations.
[0003] Typical greenhouse vehicle chassis are characterized by complex structures and large size. Furthermore, most AMR navigation radars only have a 180-degree scanning area, which cannot scan in all directions. In addition, the internal circuit control of the vehicle chassis structure has low integration, resulting in complex internal structures and messy wiring. Utility Model Content
[0004] Technical problems to be solved
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a multi-sensor modular navigation chassis structure suitable for blueberry greenhouses, which can effectively solve the problems in the existing technology.
[0006] Technical solution
[0007] This utility model provides a multi-sensor modular navigation chassis structure suitable for blueberry greenhouses, including a base plate. Wheel assemblies are fixed to the four corners of the top of the base plate, and a safety detection unit and a steering system are fixed to the center of the top of the base plate. The steering system is mounted on the rear wheel assembly. The safety detection unit contains an electronic control unit, a navigation and obstacle avoidance unit, and a frame structure sleeved on the outside of both. The wheel assembly includes a drive motor fixed to the top of the base plate, a universal joint connected to its output end, and a wheel body connected to the universal joint via an output shaft. The steering system includes a rotating motor and a gear. The gear is sleeved and fixed to the center of the top cover assembly. The bottom end of the gear is coaxially fixed with the bottom teeth. Both sides of the bottom teeth mesh with driven teeth. The tops of both driven teeth are fixedly connected to a connecting arm. One end of the connecting arm is connected to a drive arm via a first adapter. One side of the drive arm is connected to a side arm via a second adapter. One end of the side arm is fixedly connected to a pipe clamp, and the pipe clamp is sleeved on the outside of the output shaft of the universal joint.
[0008] Furthermore, each of the four corners of the base plate is fixed with a side frame, and each side frame has a groove extending through its center.
[0009] Furthermore, one end of both the electronic control unit and the navigation and obstacle avoidance unit is electrically connected to the power supply unit, and the power supply unit, the drive motor, and the rotation motor are all electrically connected to the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit includes an electronic control mounting plate and a drive board, a network module, and an industrial computer integrated on the electronic control mounting plate. The bottom of the electronic control mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the base plate by shock-absorbing pads.
[0010] Furthermore, the first adapter and the second adapter have the same structure, and both the first adapter and the second adapter are two sets of opposing plate structures, and a round hole is opened on one side of the plate and the drive arm. The drive arm is inserted between the plates and passes through the round hole by bolts and nuts to achieve the effect of combination and fixation.
[0011] Furthermore, the pipe clamp is connected to the universal joint by bolts and nuts.
[0012] Furthermore, the top cover assembly includes a top cover plate, a triangular plate fixed to the top of the top cover plate, and a threaded cylinder disposed within the triangular plate.
[0013] Beneficial effects
[0014] This invention utilizes a safety detection unit, a drive board and its internal structure within the electronic control unit, and information collected by the navigation and obstacle avoidance unit. The electronic control unit then controls the drive motor and rotation motor to automatically avoid obstacles during forward movement, thus ensuring the safety of the vehicle.
[0015] The steering system structure installed in this device has an electronic control system that controls the rotation of a rotating motor. The rotating motor drives the gear-bottom gear to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear structure to rotate on the outside of the bottom gear. This causes the outer connecting arm to move. The first adapter pulls the drive arm to move inward (outward), and the second adapter structure drives the outer side arm to pull (extend). Through the pipe clamp and universal joint, the wheel bodies on both sides are driven to deflect to the same side, realizing the function of rear wheel steering. Compared with the existing technology, this device occupies less space, saves installation space, and has clear wiring. Attached Figure Description
