Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection robot equipment technology, and in particular to a collision-resistant computer room inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] Inspection robots are robots specifically designed to perform inspection tasks automatically. They are widely used in industries such as power, petrochemicals, manufacturing, and data centers that require regular checks on equipment status and environmental conditions. They can replace or assist manual labor in performing inspection work that is highly repetitive, dangerous, or requires extremely high precision.

[0003] In the prior art, such as Chinese Patent No. CN215511067U, "A Collision-Averse Data Center Inspection Robot", a robot body is included. A limiting circular plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the robot body. A support base is provided at the bottom of the limiting circular plate. A connecting vertical block is provided at the top of the support base. Movable protective components are provided at the bottom of the limiting circular plate. The number of movable protective components is set to multiple, and the multiple movable protective components are distributed in a circumferential array. Each of the multiple movable protective components includes a protective arc plate. The multiple protective arc plates are respectively located on the outer side of the top of the support base. A connecting arc plate is provided on one side of the protective arc plate. Both ends of the connecting arc plate away from the protective arc plate are fixedly connected to buffer springs. The beneficial effect of a collision-avoiding data center inspection robot is that it improves the safety of the inspection robot and avoids the problem that existing data center inspection robots are prone to collisions with cabinets and damage during inspection, thus shortening the service life of the data center inspection robot.

[0004] In the aforementioned technology, although multiple protective arc plates are set on the outer side of the top of the support base, and a connecting arc plate is provided on one side of the protective arc plate, such protective devices are located inside the chassis. When the robot comes into contact with an object and vibrates, it will still cause the camera equipment on the top to shake. Repeated vibrations will damage the camera equipment. Furthermore, during the robot's movement, it is limited to the movement of the bottom wheels, but it may still tip over on bumpy roads, causing damage to the camera equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the existing technology where vibrations caused by robots coming into contact with objects can damage camera equipment, and rollovers are still possible on bumpy roads.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a collision-resistant computer room inspection robot, comprising: a base, multiple slide rails fixedly installed around the base, sliders slidably connected to the outer surfaces of the multiple slide rails, limit blocks fixedly installed on both sides of the multiple slide rails, the multiple sliders being divided into two groups, a lower support column fixedly installed inside the sliders of each group, multiple fixing blocks fixedly installed around the base, multiple telescopic columns fixedly installed on the top of the multiple fixing blocks, buffer columns fixedly connected to both sides of the multiple fixing blocks, springs fixedly connected to both sides of the multiple fixing blocks, buffer columns connected to the outer surfaces of the multiple lower support columns, linkage rods fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the multiple lower support columns, upper support columns fixedly installed on the other side of the multiple linkage rods, two support blocks sleeved on the outer surfaces of the multiple upper support columns, and multiple soft sheets fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the multiple support blocks.

[0007] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is as follows: the soft skin plate is impacted and the pressure is transmitted to the support block. The support block transmits the pressure downward from the linkage rod through the upper support column. The linkage rod drives the slider to disperse to both sides through the lower support column. When the slider moves, the fixed block pulls the lower support column through the buffer column and the spring. After the pressure is removed, the lower support column can be pulled back to its original position by the rebound action of the spring, so that the soft skin plate rebounds and continues to protect the base.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, multiple buffer pillars are fixedly installed at the four corners of the base, multiple springs are fixedly installed at the four corners of the base, and an arc panel is fixedly installed on the other side of each of the multiple buffer pillars.

[0009] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the impact force at the corner is dispersed by the second buffer column and the second spring when the curved panel is subjected to pressure, thereby achieving the effect of shock absorption.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the base is movably equipped with multiple casters, and two curved tracks are fixedly installed on both sides of the base.

[0011] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that when the omnidirectional wheel travels on a bumpy road, the curved track keeps the base balanced, thus preventing the base from tipping over.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a column is fixedly installed on the top of the base, a fixed column is fixedly installed on the top of the column, a movable shaft is movably connected to the top of the fixed column, a U-shaped frame is movably connected to the other side of the movable shaft, an infrared control box is fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped frame, the output shaft of the infrared control box is fixedly connected to the movable column, and a camera body is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the movable column.

[0013] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is as follows: the column is used to support the fixed column, the rotating shaft inside the fixed column can drive the U-shaped frame to rotate through the movable shaft, which facilitates all-round inspection. The infrared control box is opened by external remote control, and the infrared control box causes the movable column to drive the camera body to rotate, and the camera body can perform inspection from top to bottom.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, when the robot is performing inspection, if the soft skin plate and the curved panel come into contact with an object and collide, the soft skin plate will be subjected to the impact force and the pressure will be transmitted to the support block. The support block will transmit the pressure downward from the linkage rod through the upper support column. The linkage rod will drive the slider to disperse the pressure to both sides through the lower support column. When the slider moves, the fixed block will pull the lower support column through the buffer column and the spring. After the pressure is removed, the lower support column can be pulled back to its original position by the rebound action of the spring, so that the soft skin plate will rebound and continue to protect the base. The telescopic column on one side of the soft skin plate will buffer the front of the soft skin plate.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the pressure on the curved panel is dispersed by the second buffer column and the second spring, thereby achieving the effect of shock absorption. When the omnidirectional wheel travels on a bumpy road, the curved track keeps the base balanced, thus preventing the base from tipping over. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0025] Example 1, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the system includes: a base 1, with multiple slide rails 102 fixedly installed around the base 1, sliders 103 slidably connected to the outer surfaces of each slide rail 102, limit blocks 124 fixedly installed on both sides of each slide rail 102, the sliders 103 being divided into two groups, with a lower support column 104 fixedly installed inside each group of sliders 103, multiple fixing blocks 101 fixedly installed around the base 1, multiple telescopic columns 110 fixedly installed on the top of each fixing block 101, and buffers fixedly connected to both sides of each fixing block 101. Each column 105 has a spring 106 fixedly connected to both sides of a plurality of fixed blocks 101. A plurality of buffer columns 105 are connected to the outer surfaces of a plurality of lower support columns 104. A linkage rod 107 is fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of a plurality of lower support columns 104. An upper support column 108 is fixedly installed on the other side of a plurality of linkage rods 107. Two support blocks 109 are sleeved on the outer surfaces of a plurality of upper support columns 108. The column also includes a plurality of soft leather plates 111, which are fixedly connected to the outer surface of one side of a plurality of support blocks 109.

[0026] In this embodiment, the soft leather plate 111 is impacted and the pressure is transmitted to the support block 109. The support block 109 transmits the pressure downward from the linkage rod 107 through the upper support column 108. The linkage rod 107 drives the slider 103 to disperse to both sides through the lower support column 104. When the slider 103 moves, the fixing block 101 pulls the lower support column 104 through the buffer column 105 and the spring 106. After the pressure is removed, the lower support column 104 can be pulled back to its original position by the rebound action of the spring 106, so that the soft leather plate 111 rebounds and continues to protect the base 1.

[0027] Example 2, as Figure 1-4 As shown, multiple buffer pillars 112 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the base 1, multiple springs 113 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the base 1, and arc panels 114 are fixedly installed on the other side of each of the multiple buffer pillars 112. Multiple casters 115 are movably installed at the bottom of the base 1, and two curved tracks 116 are fixedly installed on both sides of the base 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, the pressure on the arc panel 114 is dispersed by the second buffer column 112 and the second spring 113 to achieve the effect of shock absorption. When the caster wheel 115 travels on a bumpy road, the curved track 116 keeps the base 1 balanced, so as not to cause the base 1 to tip over.

[0029] Working Principle: This device is a collision-resistant machine room inspection robot. When the robot is performing inspections, if the soft leather plate 111 and the curved panel 114 collide with an object, the soft leather plate 111 will transmit the impact force to the support block 109. The support block 109 will then transmit the pressure downwards from the linkage rod 107 via the upper support column 108. The linkage rod 107 will then transmit the pressure to the lower support column 104, causing the slider 103 to disperse to both sides. When the slider 103 moves, the fixing block 101 will hold the lower support column 104 in place via the buffer column 105 and the spring 106. After the pressure is released, the spring 106 will hold the slider 103 in place. The rebound action can pull the lower support column 104 back to its original position, causing the soft skin plate 111 to rebound and continue to protect the base 1. The telescopic column 110 buffers the front of the soft skin plate 111 on one side. The curved panel 114 is subjected to pressure, and the impact force at the corner is dispersed by the second buffer column 112 and the second spring 113 to achieve the shock absorption effect. Moreover, the shock absorption device is distributed on the outside of the base 1 and will not affect the internal camera body 123. When the universal wheel 115 travels on bumpy road sections, the curved track 116 keeps the base 1 balanced, so as not to cause the base 1 to tip over.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
