Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rail-mounted inspection robot technology, specifically to a docking station and inspection device. Background Technology

[0002] Inspection robots can detect the environment, personnel, and equipment along the inspection route and conduct scientific analysis of the collected data, thus ensuring the smooth operation of the transportation system.

[0003] In existing technologies, track-mounted robots are generally powered by built-in batteries. To recharge them in a timely manner, docking stations are usually installed at certain intervals on the track. The docking stations have charging and cleaning mechanisms. When the inspection robot is running and the battery is found to be low, it can find the nearest docking station to recharge. At the same time, the cleaning mechanism removes dust from the surface of the inspection robot. When the battery is fully charged, the inspection robot can continue to carry out its inspection work.

[0004] However, when the docking station removes dust from the surface of the inspection robot, the dust will pollute the air at the site. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the problem of on-site air pollution caused by the docking station when cleaning the surface of the inspection robot in the prior art, thereby providing a docking station and inspection device.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a docking station, including: a frame body, a cleaning mechanism, and a dust collection hood. The frame body is provided with a passageway for an inspection robot to pass through. The cleaning mechanism is disposed on the frame body and has a plurality of high-pressure nozzles for removing dust from the surface of the inspection robot. The dust collection hood is disposed on the frame body and has a dust collection chamber inside. A dust collection port communicating with the dust collection chamber is provided on the side wall of the dust collection hood near the passageway. A negative pressure mechanism is provided at the dust collection chamber.

[0007] During operation, the inspection robot travels into the passageway of the main frame. The high-pressure nozzles of the cleaning mechanism spray high-pressure gas to blow away dust from the robot's surface. Simultaneously, a negative pressure mechanism generates negative pressure at the dust collection port, drawing dust into the dust collection chamber and preventing on-site air pollution. The docking station provided by this invention solves the problem of on-site air pollution caused by existing docking stations when cleaning the surface of inspection robots.

[0008] Optionally, the high-pressure nozzle is configured as a universal nozzle. With this configuration, the universal nozzle can adjust the blowing angle of the high-pressure nozzle according to different site conditions, resulting in more efficient dust removal.

[0009] Optionally, the main frame is also equipped with a charging device, which includes a charging transmitting coil that works in conjunction with a charging receiving coil on the inspection robot. With this configuration, when the inspection robot enters the corresponding location at the docking station, the charging receiving coil and the charging transmitting coil are parallel and directly opposite each other, enabling automatic wireless charging.

[0010] This utility model provides an inspection device, including an inspection track, an inspection robot, and a docking station as described in any of the above-described solutions. The inspection robot is movably mounted on the inspection track, which passes through a passageway of the docking station. With this configuration, the inspection robot inspects the environment, personnel, and equipment along the inspection track, and then enters the docking station's passageway to perform cleaning and dust removal. Due to the use of this docking station, it possesses any of the aforementioned advantages.

[0011] Optionally, the inspection robot includes: a main body, a traveling mechanism, and a detection mechanism; the traveling mechanism is located on the top of the main body and includes drive wheels and driven wheels. At least one pair of drive wheels are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inspection track, and the paired drive wheels clamp the web of the inspection track. At least one pair of driven wheels are arranged on each of the front and rear sides of the drive wheels, and the driven wheels roll on the lower flange plate of the inspection track; the detection mechanism is located on the main body and includes: an environmental detection component and a monitoring component. With the above arrangement, the drive wheels clamp the web of the inspection track from both sides, and the rotation of the drive wheels drives the driven wheels to roll on the lower flange plate of the inspection track, thereby realizing the movement of the inspection robot along the inspection track.

[0012] Optionally, a clamping assembly is provided on the drive wheel. The clamping assembly includes a mounting rod and an elastic element disposed on the side of the drive wheel away from the inspection track. The mounting rod is connected to a mounting seat of the drive wheel, and the elastic element is sleeved on both ends of the mounting rod. An adjusting nut is provided at the end of the mounting rod. The elastic element has an elastic force that pushes the drive wheel toward the web of the inspection track and presses it against it. With the above configuration, the elastic element provides a normal force that presses the drive wheel against the web of the inspection track, increasing the friction between the drive wheel and the web, thereby improving the climbing ability of the inspection robot. The clamping force of the elastic element can be adjusted by adjusting the nut.

[0013] Optionally, the traveling mechanism further includes a steering assembly. Each pair of driven wheels is equipped with a steering assembly, which has four guide wheels. These guide wheels are arranged in pairs, clamping against the outer contour of the inspection track from both sides. This arrangement allows the guide wheels to engage with the outer contour of the inspection track, guiding the inspection robot's movement. When the inspection robot enters the turning track, the steering assembly automatically rotates to adapt to the curved track, turning the inspection robot through the curve to meet the turning requirements of inspection robots in confined spaces.

[0014] Optionally, the inspection robot is further equipped with a track cleaning component, which includes a brush. The brush is positioned on the side of the driven wheel away from the drive wheel, and the brush head contacts the upper surface of the lower flange of the inspection track. With this configuration, the cleaning brush can sweep away dust from the inspection track in front of the robot, ensuring that accumulated dust on the track does not affect the robot's normal movement, eliminating the need for regular manual cleaning.

[0015] Optionally, the main body of the device is provided with a power supply assembly, which includes a battery and a battery compartment for housing the battery. The battery compartment is provided with an openable and closable door. With the above configuration, when maintaining the battery, the battery can be directly pulled out by opening the door, a new battery can be pushed into the battery compartment, and the battery replacement operation can be completed by locking the door.

[0016] Optionally, the main body of the device is equipped with a charging module, which includes a charging receiving coil disposed on the outer side wall and electrically connected to the power supply component. With this configuration, when the inspection robot enters the docking station, the charging receiving coil is aligned with the docking station's charging transmitting coil, enabling wireless charging.

[0017] Optionally, the inspection robot is further equipped with a control module, which is electrically connected to the traveling mechanism and the detection mechanism. Through this configuration, the control module can regulate the traveling mechanism, thereby controlling the inspection robot's traveling speed, direction, and start / stop status. The detection mechanism transmits detection data to the control module for storage, processing, and transmission.

[0018] Optionally, the inspection robot is equipped with a positioning module, which is electrically connected to the control module. The positioning module includes a radio frequency identifier (RFID), an encoder, and a position sensor. The RFID and encoder are used for initial positioning, and the position sensor is used for precise positioning. Through this configuration, the position sensor, combined with the RFID code and encoder, enables precise positioning of the inspection robot.

[0019] Optionally, the inspection robot is equipped with an obstacle avoidance module, with one module on each of the front and rear sides of the main body of the device. The obstacle avoidance module includes an integrated ultrasonic radar and an anti-collision switch. Through this configuration, the integrated ultrasonic radar can automatically detect the surrounding environment. When it detects an obstacle on the inspection route that cannot be safely passed, it transmits a signal to the control module, thereby controlling the inspection robot to automatically stop. The anti-collision switch can also control automatic stopping when the robot touches an obstacle. The combination of the integrated ultrasonic radar and the anti-collision switch forms a multi-dimensional, multi-layered collision avoidance scheme, improving safety performance.

[0032] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0033] This embodiment provides a structure for a docking station 1 and an inspection device that can reduce air pollution, used to detect the conditions of the surrounding environment, personnel, and equipment 3.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2The diagram illustrates a specific implementation of a docking station provided in this embodiment, comprising: a frame body, a cleaning mechanism, and a dust collection hood 12. The frame body is provided with a passageway for an inspection robot to pass through. The cleaning mechanism is disposed on the frame body and has a plurality of high-pressure nozzles 11 for removing dust from the surface of the inspection robot. The dust collection hood 12 is disposed on the frame body and has a dust collection chamber inside. A dust collection port communicating with the dust collection chamber is provided on the side wall of the dust collection hood 12 near the passageway, and a negative pressure mechanism is provided at the dust collection chamber.

[0035] In use, the inspection robot travels into the passageway of the docking station 1. The high-pressure nozzle 11 of the cleaning mechanism sprays high-pressure gas to blow away the dust on the surface of the inspection robot. At the same time, the negative pressure mechanism generates negative pressure at the dust collection port, and the dust is sucked into the dust collection chamber through the dust collection port, thus avoiding on-site air pollution. The docking station 1 provided in this embodiment solves the problem of on-site air pollution caused by the existing docking station 1 when cleaning the surface of the inspection robot.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in the docking station provided in this embodiment, the high-pressure nozzle 11 is configured as a universal nozzle. The universal nozzle can adjust the blowing angle of the high-pressure nozzle 11 according to different site conditions, resulting in more efficient dust removal. Specifically, the cleaning mechanism also includes an air source processing device, which is connected to the high-pressure nozzle 11 to provide high-pressure gas. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the high-pressure nozzle 11 can also be configured with a fixed angle.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, the docking station also includes a charging device 13 on its main frame. The charging device 13 has a charging transmitting coil, which works in conjunction with a charging receiving coil on the inspection robot. When the inspection robot enters the corresponding location of the docking station 1, the charging receiving coil and the charging transmitting coil are parallel and directly opposite each other, achieving contactless wireless charging. Specifically, the docking station 1 converts 220V AC mains power into a safe 352V battery charging voltage via the charging device 13. The docking station 1 can upload charging status data to a platform for monitoring.

[0038] How to use:

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown in this embodiment, when the inspection robot travels into the passageway of the docking station 1, the high-pressure nozzle 11 of the cleaning mechanism sprays high-pressure gas to blow away the dust on the surface of the inspection robot. The negative pressure mechanism generates negative pressure at the dust collection port, and the dust is sucked into the dust collection chamber through the dust collection port to avoid air pollution on site. At the same time, the charging component wirelessly charges the inspection robot.

[0040] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also provides an inspection device, including an inspection track 2, an inspection robot, and a docking station 1 as described in the above embodiments. The inspection robot is movably mounted on the inspection track 2, which passes through the passageway of the docking station 1. The inspection robot inspects the environment, personnel, and equipment 3 along the inspection track 2, and enters the passageway of the docking station 1 to perform dust removal.

[0041] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in the inspection device provided in this embodiment, the inspection robot includes: a main body of device 3, a traveling mechanism 31, and a detection mechanism 32; the traveling mechanism 31 is disposed on the top of the main body of device 3, and includes drive wheels 311 and driven wheels 312. At least one pair of drive wheels 311 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inspection track 2, and the paired drive wheels 311 clamp the web of the inspection track 2. At least one pair of driven wheels 312 are disposed on each of the front and rear sides of the drive wheels 311, and the driven wheels 312 are rolled on the lower flange plate of the inspection track 2; the detection mechanism 32 is disposed on the main body of device 3, and includes: an environmental detection component 321 and a monitoring component 322. The drive wheels 311 clamp the web of the inspection track 2 from both sides, and the rotation of the drive wheels 311 drives the driven wheels 312 to roll on the lower flange plate of the inspection track 2, thereby realizing the movement of the inspection robot along the inspection track 2. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the traveling mechanism 31 may also be located at the bottom of the main body of the device 3.

[0042] Specifically, the inspection track 2 is made of I-beam aluminum. The drive wheel 311 is made of a non-metallic material with a high coefficient of friction and wear resistance, and a mechanism for clamping it on both sides ensures reliable contact between the drive wheel 311 and the track. The drive wheel 311 is driven to rotate by a motor, which has a power failure brake protection function. When the inspection robot experiences an abnormal power failure, the motor automatically brakes and locks, ensuring that the inspection robot can stop smoothly even on a slope, with a braking time of less than 0.5 seconds and a precise positioning buffer distance of less than 1 meter.

[0043] Specifically, the main structure of device 3 is constructed using welding technology, forming a single integral cabin. All welds are fully welded, and rubber sealing rings are installed between each cabin cover and the cabin body, secured with bolts to ensure the protective performance of the main body of device 3. All sensors outside the cabin utilize high-protection equipment 3 suitable for outdoor working conditions, fully addressing harsh environmental situations and ensuring reliable robot operation under adverse conditions, thus improving the robot's adaptability. All equipment 3 within the system incorporates protective measures against rain, snow, and strong winds.

[0044] Specifically, the environmental detection component 321 includes temperature and humidity, gas, and dust concentration sensors. The temperature and humidity sensor is designed according to industrial standards, integrating temperature and humidity measurement, and has an IP67 protection rating, making it suitable for harsh environments. The gas sensor is a four-in-one gas sensor (containing CH4, H2S, O2, and CO), and the dust concentration sensor monitors the environmental information of the robot's inspection path area in real time. When a certain indicator in the environment exceeds a preset threshold, the background system issues a corresponding over-limit alarm.

[0045] It should be added that, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drive wheel 311 can be replaced directly on the rail. Simply remove the four fixing screws to remove the drive wheel 311, and then tighten the fixing screws after placing the new drive wheel 311 in place to complete the replacement operation.

[0046] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in the inspection device provided in this embodiment, a clamping assembly 33 is provided on the drive wheel 311. The clamping assembly 33 includes a mounting rod 331 and an elastic element 332 disposed on the side of the drive wheel 311 away from the inspection track 2. The mounting rod 331 is connected to the mounting seat of the drive wheel 311. The elastic element 332 is sleeved on both ends of the mounting rod 331. An adjusting nut 333 is provided at the end of the mounting rod 331. The elastic element 332 has an elastic force that pushes the drive wheel 311 toward pressing against the web of the inspection track 2. The elastic element 332 provides a normal force that causes the drive wheel 311 to press against the web of the inspection track 2, increasing the friction between the drive wheel 311 and the web, thereby improving the climbing ability of the inspection robot. The clamping force of the elastic element 332 can be adjusted by the adjusting nut 333. The inspection robot can achieve a climbing ability of not less than 30°. The inspection robot has a maximum operating speed of 1 m / s, and its speed is adjustable from 0 to 1 m / s in both directions. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the elastic element 332 can be omitted, and the drive wheel 311 can be clamped to the web of the inspection track 2 by adjusting the nut 333.

[0047] like Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, in the inspection device provided in this embodiment, the traveling mechanism 31 further includes a steering assembly. A set of steering assemblies is provided at each pair of driven wheels 312. Each steering assembly has four guide wheels 313, which are arranged in pairs to clamp the outer contour of the inspection track 2 from both sides. The guide wheels 313 clamp the outer contour of the inspection track 2, guiding the inspection robot's movement. When the inspection robot enters the turning track, the steering assembly automatically rotates to adapt to the curved track, causing the inspection robot to turn and pass through the curve. The minimum turning radius is no more than 800mm, meeting the turning requirements of the inspection robot in confined spaces. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the steering assembly can be configured with two guide wheels 313 according to design requirements.

[0048] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in the inspection device provided in this embodiment, the inspection robot is further equipped with a track cleaning component 34. The track cleaning component 34 includes a brush, which is disposed on the side of the driven wheel 312 away from the drive wheel 311. The brush head contacts the upper surface of the lower flange plate of the inspection track 2. The cleaning brush can sweep away dust on the inspection track 2 in front of the inspection robot, ensuring that the accumulated dust on the inspection track 2 will not affect the normal movement of the inspection robot, eliminating the need for regular manual cleaning. Specifically, the height of the brush can be adjusted according to the site conditions. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the brush can also be replaced with a silicone scraper.

[0049] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, in the inspection device provided in this embodiment, the power supply assembly includes a battery 352 and a battery compartment 35 for accommodating the battery 352. The battery compartment 35 is equipped with an openable door 351. When maintaining the battery 352, opening the door 351 allows direct extraction of the battery 352, pushing a new battery 352 into the battery compartment 35, and locking the door 351 completes the battery replacement operation. Specifically, the door 351 is hinged to the main body of the device 3. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the door 351 can also be detachably connected to the main body of the device 3 using fasteners.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, in the inspection device provided in this embodiment, the main body of the device 3 is equipped with a charging module 36. The charging module 36 includes a charging receiving coil disposed on the outer side wall, and the charging receiving coil is electrically connected to the power supply component. When the inspection robot enters the docking station 1, the charging receiving coil is aligned with the charging transmitting coil of the docking station 1, realizing wireless charging.

[0051] It should be noted that when the battery level is lower than the set threshold, the inspection robot can automatically identify the battery level of the 352 battery, send a feedback signal, confirm the working status of the inspection robot, and automatically control the inspection robot to return to the docking station 1 for autonomous charging.

[0052] In the inspection device provided in this embodiment, the inspection robot is also equipped with a control module. The control module is electrically connected to the traveling mechanism 31 and the detection mechanism 32. The control module can regulate the traveling mechanism 31 to control the traveling speed, traveling direction, and motion start and stop status of the inspection robot. The detection mechanism 32 transmits the detection data to the control module for storage, processing, and transmission.

[0053] Specifically, after the inspection robot is powered on, the control module automatically performs a self-test, including the clock, I / O ports, timers, various peripheral communication interfaces, and peripheral devices such as gas detection sensors, RFID readers, ultrasonic sensors, motor drivers, emergency stop switches, etc.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, in the inspection device provided in this embodiment, the inspection robot is equipped with a positioning module 37, which is electrically connected to the control module. The positioning module 37 includes a radio frequency identifier (RFID), an encoder, and a position sensor. The RFID and encoder are used for initial positioning, and the position sensor is used for precise positioning. The position sensor, combined with the RFID code and the encoder, enables precise positioning of the inspection robot with a positioning accuracy of <±1cm. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the position sensor can be omitted, and multiple identification codes can be set on the inspection track 2, with identification and positioning performed by the RFID and encoder.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment, the inspection robot in this inspection device is equipped with an obstacle avoidance module 38. One obstacle avoidance module 38 is located on each of the front and rear sides of the main body of the device 3. The obstacle avoidance module 38 includes an integrated ultrasonic radar and an anti-collision switch. The integrated ultrasonic radar can automatically detect the surrounding environment, with a detection distance of 0-3 meters and a detection angle of 120°. When an obstacle is detected on the inspection route and cannot be safely passed, a signal is transmitted to the control module, thereby controlling the inspection robot to automatically stop. The anti-collision switch can also control automatic stopping when it touches an obstacle. The combination of the integrated ultrasonic radar and the anti-collision switch forms a multi-dimensional, multi-layered anti-collision scheme, improving safety performance. The ultrasonic sensor has low power consumption and an adjustable detection distance. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, either the integrated ultrasonic radar or the anti-collision switch can be selected according to design requirements.

[0056] Specifically, the inspection robot is equipped with an audio-visual alarm mechanism, which includes indicator lights and a voice player. The different colors or flashing frequencies of the indicator lights can indicate the current status of the inspection robot. When the inspection robot is performing a task or encounters a malfunction, the voice player will play the current status in a loop to remind the staff.

[0057] Specifically, the inspection robot is equipped with a voice intercom mechanism, which includes a microphone 3 and a speaker. Through on-site wireless AP network transmission, it can achieve full-duplex voice intercom. This allows control room staff and on-site staff to maintain smooth communication via voice intercom, with clear and loud sound.

[0058] It should be noted that this project's system has considered possible abnormal situations during the operation of the inspection robot and has preset abnormal handling strategies and protection logic in the system, including but not limited to the following situations:

[0059] Power failure protection: When a power failure is detected, the drive wheel 311 will automatically activate the brake and the power failure information will be saved in the control module.

[0060] Obstacle avoidance parking: When the integrated ultrasonic radar detects an obstacle, it stops moving, issues a voice alarm, and reports the obstacle avoidance status;

[0061] Anti-collision switch trigger: When the anti-collision switch is triggered, the movement stops, a voice alarm is issued, and the anti-collision trigger status is reported.

[0062] Emergency stop trigger: When an emergency stop is triggered, the movement will stop, an alarm will be triggered via voice prompt, and the emergency stop trigger status will be reported.

[0063] Network offline: When a network offline condition is detected, the autonomous return-to-dock station 1 mechanism will be activated;

[0064] Drive wheel 311 stall: When a stall of drive wheel 311 is detected, the movement will stop, a voice alarm will be issued, and the stall status will be reported.

[0065] Abnormal information display: When in different working states, different voice and different colored indicator lights will be used to display the status, and the status of the platform machine itself will be reported.

[0066] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
