Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of track technology, and in particular to robot test tracks. Background Technology

[0002] Suspended track robots are suspended from an overhead track via a wheel system to perform cyclical inspections of specific areas. Their main function is to replace human inspectors in data collection, video and audio transmission, and automatic data analysis via software to determine and locate equipment malfunctions. This reduces the workload and risks for workers, allows for timely detection of problems, prevents accidents from escalating, and significantly minimizes downtime during production.

[0003] Suspended robots encounter complex track environments during operation, which places more stringent demands on their motion performance. Among these, the gradient (maximum ramp angle that can be crossed) and the minimum turning radius (minimum track curvature radius required to complete a turn) are two key indicators for measuring the passability of suspended track robots, directly determining the device's adaptability to three-dimensional track layouts.

[0004] For testing the climbing gradient and minimum turning radius of suspended track robots, the traditional method is to build a temporary straight track. This method cannot test the climbing gradient and minimum turning radius at the same time, nor can it test different climbing gradients. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a robot test track. This design effectively solves the problems of conventional robot test tracks, such as simple structure, low testing efficiency, incomplete parameter coverage, and insufficient dynamic adaptability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This utility model includes a low-rail support frame, a connecting beam fixedly connected to one side of the low-rail support frame, and a high-rail support frame fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting beam. Semi-circular tracks are fixedly connected to both the low-rail support frame and the high-rail support frame. A low-slope track is connected to one side of each of the two semi-circular tracks, and a high-slope track is connected to the other end of each of the two semi-circular tracks. The cross-sections of the semi-circular tracks, the low-slope track, and the high-slope track are all "I"-shaped structures, and the two semi-circular tracks, the low-slope track, and the high-slope track constitute a closed-loop structure.

[0007] Preferably, both the low-rail support frame and the high-rail support frame are composed of three columns, each of which is an inverted L-shaped structure, and the three columns are distributed at 90-degree intervals around the central axis of the corresponding semi-circular track.

[0008] Preferably, both the low rail support frame and the high rail support frame are fixedly connected to a hoisting connector, and the hoisting connector is fixedly connected to the semi-circular track.

[0009] Preferably, the hoisting connector includes an upper connector, with a U-bolt connected above the upper connector and a lower connector fixedly connected below the upper connector. A hoisting rail fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the lower connector, and the hoisting rail fixing sleeve is provided with a through groove for the hoisting rail to slide.

[0010] Preferably, the inclination angle of the high-slope track is 45° to 90°.

[0011] Preferably, the inclination angle of the low-slope track is 0° to 45°.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting beam includes a long beam, a short beam, and an inclined beam, with the low rail support frame and the high rail support frame respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the long beam and the inclined beam.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting piece is provided between the semi-circular track and the low-slope track and the high-slope track. The connecting piece is provided with multiple bolt holes and is fixed to the track connection surface by bolts.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the outstanding advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention utilizes two semi-circular tracks, a high-slope track, and a low-slope track to achieve comprehensive testing of turning radius and different climbing gradients, resulting in more comprehensive test parameters. Furthermore, the track gradient can be adjusted by changing the length of the high-slope and low-slope tracks to facilitate testing the robot's passability on different slopes.

[0016] In this utility model, the hoisting connector is installed in a nested manner through the hoisting rail fixing sleeve, which facilitates subsequent replacement and disassembly, improves the assembly efficiency of the device, and allows for adjustment of the track trajectory according to actual needs.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see the appendix Figure 1-8 The robot test track in this embodiment includes a low-rail support frame 7, a connecting beam fixedly connected to one side of the low-rail support frame 7, and a high-rail support frame 8 fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting beam. Semi-circular tracks 1 are fixedly connected to both the low-rail support frame 7 and the high-rail support frame 8. A low-slope track 3 is connected to one side of both semi-circular tracks 1, and a high-slope track 2 is connected to the other end of both semi-circular tracks 1. The cross-sections of the semi-circular tracks 1, the low-slope track 3, and the high-slope track 2 are all "I" shaped structures, and the two semi-circular tracks 1, the low-slope track 3, and the high-slope track 2 form a closed loop structure.

[0028] The lower rail support frame 7 is lower in height than the higher rail support frame 8. Aside from the height difference, their other component structures are identical. Both are mounted on fixed bases and vertically secured with anchor bolts. The two semi-circular tracks 1 have the same radius. Figure 1The semi-circular track 1 on the low-rail support frame 7 opens to the left, and the semi-circular track 1 on the high-rail support frame 8 opens to the right. The two are connected on one side by a low-slope track 3 and on the other side by a high-slope track 2. The entire testing device forms a closed-loop structure with the first and second ends connected. The hoisting robot can perform multiple tests inside the device, thereby making the test data richer and more accurate. The low-rail support frame 7 and the high-rail support frame 8 are connected together by a connecting beam, which increases the overall stability and ensures the installation performance of the track hoisting.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the semi-circular track 1 is suspended in mid-air. To avoid interference with the test robot, the columns on the high rail support frame 8 and the low rail support frame 7 are all inverted L-shaped structures. The vertical part of the column is located on one side of the semi-circular track 1, and ribs are welded at the corners of the column to improve the load-bearing capacity of the horizontal part of the column. There are three columns on both the high rail support frame 8 and the low rail support frame 7. The three columns are distributed at 90-degree intervals around the central axis of the corresponding semi-circular track 1 to provide distributed and stable support for the semi-circular track 1.

[0030] The semi-circular track 1 is used to test the turning performance of the suspended track robot. The high-slope track 2 is used to test the passing performance of the suspended track robot on the high-slope track 2. The low-slope track 3 is used to test the passing performance of the suspended track robot on the low-slope track 3. The inclination angle of the high-slope track 2 is between 45° and 90°, and the inclination angle of the low-slope track 3 is between 0° and 45°. The angles of both can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0031] The high rail support frame 8 and the low rail support frame 7 are connected to the semi-circular track 1 via a hoisting connector. The upper connector 4 on the hoisting connector is located below the horizontal part of the column. The upper connector 4 has a key hole, and a U-bolt is fitted on the column. The bolt head passes through the key hole of the upper connector 4 and is then fixed by a nut. The lower connector 5 is installed between the upper connector 4 and the hoisting rail fixing sleeve 6 by bolts. The lower part of the hoisting rail fixing sleeve 6 has a T-shaped through groove. The upper part of the semi-circular track 1 can fit into the through groove and is then fixed by fixing bolts. This facilitates the subsequent installation and disassembly of the semi-circular track 1.

[0032] The connecting piece 12 is a long strip of steel material with multiple bolt holes. The ends of the semi-circular track 1, the high-slope track 2, and the low-slope track 3 also have multiple through holes. When the semi-circular track 1, the high-slope track 2, and the low-slope track 3 are connected, the connecting piece 12 is installed at their junction, and then fixed by fixing bolts passing through the bolt holes and through holes.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, the connecting beam includes two long beams 9, two short beams 10 and two inclined beams 11. The two long beams 9 and two inclined beams 11 are connected to the low rail support frame 7 and the high rail support frame 8. One of the two short beams 10 is connected to the low rail support frame 7 and the other is connected to the two columns of the high rail support frame 8.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
