[0017] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model discloses a fire-fighting reconnaissance quadruped robot, comprising a main module 1. The outer surface of the main module 1 is provided with a storage component 6, which includes a storage compartment 603. A damping shaft 602 is fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the storage compartment 603. A sealing cover 601 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the damping shaft 602. A slot 605 is formed in the inner wall of the storage compartment 603. A locking block 606 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sealing cover 601, the size of which is adapted to the slot 605. An auxiliary block 604 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sealing cover 601. The main module 1 serves as the core frame of the robot, bearing all functional components and ensuring the stability of the overall structure. It uses high-strength bolts to fix the mechanical legs 11, the storage component 6, and the laser radar module 4, employing a modular design for easy equipment installation. The device is designed for maintenance and upgrades, and incorporates core components such as integrated control circuits and communication modules. A storage compartment 603 stores emergency supplies such as first-aid kits and breathing masks. A damping shaft 602 connects to a sealing cover 601, allowing for smooth opening and closing. The sealing cover 601 effectively prevents high temperatures, smoke, or moisture from entering the storage compartment 603. A locking slot 605 and a locking block 606 work together to ensure the sealing cover 601 remains tightly closed, preventing accidental opening. The storage compartment 603 is welded or bolted to the side of the main module 1. The damping shaft 602 is embedded in the side wall of the storage compartment 603. The sealing cover 601 rotates via the shaft. An auxiliary block 604 allows firefighters to manually open the device, even while wearing gloves, effectively improving its usability.

[0018] A set of mechanical legs 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main body module 1. A cooling component 10 and a demolition tool interface 3 are provided on the outer surface of the main body module 1. The cooling component 10 includes a water tank 1001, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the main body module 1. Each mechanical leg 11 has a set of nozzles 1002 on its outer surface and a panoramic camera device 8 on its outer surface. A pressure sensor 9 is fixedly embedded on the bottom surface of each mechanical leg 11. The mechanical legs 11 are hinged to the bottom of the main body module 1, and their built-in servo motors drive joint movement. Each leg can be independently controlled, enabling the robot to walk on four legs. This allows it to effectively adapt to complex terrains such as ruins, stairs, and slopes. Combined with the pressure sensors 9, real-time gait adjustments can be made to effectively prevent slipping or loss of balance. The water tank 1001 stores cooling water. The nozzles 1002 adjust the water flow direction to precisely spray water onto easily overheated areas such as the joints of the mechanical leg 11. The water tank 1001 is bolted to the bottom of the main module 1. The nozzles 1002 are embedded in the joints of the mechanical leg 11 and connected to the water tank 1001 via hoses. In high-temperature conditions, the equipment sprays water to cool down, effectively preventing motor overheating and damage. The demolition tool interface 3, a standardized quick-release interface located on the front of the main module 1, is used to connect external demolition tools such as hydraulic shears, impact drills, and cutting machines. The modular design allows for quick tool replacement, effectively meeting different demolition needs. The panoramic camera device 8, fixed to the joints of the mechanical leg 11, is stabilized by a gimbal 2 and can transmit real-time images to the command center to assist rescuers in decision-making.

[0019] A lidar module 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main module 1. A set of antennas 7 is also fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main module 1. A power supply compartment 14 is provided on the outer surface of the main module 1, and a battery module 16 is snapped into the inside of the power supply compartment 14. A force-bearing block 15 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the battery module 16. A groove 12 is formed on the bottom surface of the main module 1, and a temperature sensor 13 is installed inside the groove 12. A warning light 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main module 1. A stabilizing gimbal 2 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main module 1, and a pressure sensor 9 is installed. It is embedded in the bottom of the mechanical leg 11 and can monitor the ground pressure distribution, adjust the pace, and prevent collapse. The lidar module 4 is fixed to the top of the main module 1 and transmits data through the antennas 7 to scan the fire scene environment in real time and build a 3D map. It can effectively cooperate with the panoramic camera device 8 to achieve multimodal environmental perception. The power compartment 14 and battery module 16 are designed with a snap-fit ​​mechanism and are locked in place by a force-bearing block 15 to prevent the battery module 16 from falling off. The modular lithium battery pack supports hot-swappable replacement, ensuring uninterrupted power supply. The temperature sensor 13 can monitor the temperature of the fire scene in real time and warn of dangerous areas. It is embedded in the groove 12 at the bottom of the main module 1 and can effectively provide real-time data feedback to prevent the robot from entering the overheated area. The warning light 5 provides audible and visual alarms to indicate the robot's position and status. It is fixed to the top or side of the main module 1 and uses a high-brightness LED plus buzzer design to increase its visibility in dense smoke. The stabilizing gimbal 2 can stabilize the camera equipment and reduce motion shaking. It is fixed to the main module 1 and is equipped with a panoramic camera device 8, which can automatically level itself to adapt to the robot's tilt posture.

[0020] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the device first scans the fire scene environment in real time through the lidar module 4 and the panoramic camera device 8, and constructs a three-dimensional map. It also uses the pressure sensor 9 and the temperature sensor 13 to monitor ground stability and high-temperature areas, and transmits the data back to the command center through the antenna 7. If obstacles are encountered, tools can be installed through the demolition tool interface 3 for demolition. At the same time, the water tank 1001, together with the water pipe, sprays water to cool the mechanical leg 11 through the nozzle 1002. The warning light 5 can issue an alarm in real time. The storage compartment 603 can be used to quickly deliver emergency supplies to specific locations. Finally, the battery module 16 can be used to quickly replace the power supply to provide the device with power. The stable gimbal 2 ensures the stable operation of the device, achieving efficient reconnaissance and rescue.
