[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 to 8, the present invention provides a shuttle vehicle carrying an autonomous snow removal robot, comprising a shuttle vehicle frame 1 and a robot body 2.

[0033] It should be noted that the robot body 2 includes, but is not limited to, the cleaning robot body 2 and the snow removal robot body 2, which can perform operations such as cleaning and snow removal of the site; the robot body 2 is slidably installed inside the shuttle frame 1; the shuttle frame 1 is installed on the surface of the track (not shown in the figure);

[0034] A cleaning mechanism is provided between the shuttle vehicle frame 1 and the robot body 2. The cleaning mechanism includes:

[0035] Two drive columns 3 and a locking column 4 are rotatably mounted inside the shuttle frame 1. A ring spring 5 is fixedly connected between each drive column 3 and the shuttle frame 1. A cleaning rod 6 is detachably connected between the two drive columns 3. A cleaning belt 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning rod 6. The cleaning belt 7 is wrapped around the surface of the cleaning rod 6. A connecting block 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the cleaning belt 7 away from the cleaning rod 6. A fixing component is provided between the connecting block 8 and the shuttle frame 1. A driving component is provided between the connecting block 8 and the robot body 2.

[0036] The locking block 9 is detachably mounted on the surface of the robot body 2. Several locking shafts 10 are fixedly connected to the surface of the locking column 4. The line connecting the center of adjacent locking shafts 10 and the center of the locking column 4 forms an acute angle. The projections of the locking shafts 10 and the locking block 9 in the moving direction of the robot body 2 have overlapping areas.

[0037] A locking assembly is disposed between a locking post 4 and a drive post 3 provided with an annular spring 5, and the locking assembly is slidably connected to the drive post 3.

[0038] In summary, the present invention provides a shuttle vehicle carrying an autonomous snow removal robot, comprising a drive column 3 rotatably disposed inside the shuttle vehicle frame 1, a rotating sweeping rod 6 disposed via the drive column 3, and a sweeping belt 7 that can be connected to the robot body 2 wound around the surface of the sweeping rod 6. When the robot body 2 moves on the surface of the shuttle vehicle frame 1, the sweeping belt 7 simultaneously covers the shuttle vehicle frame 1. Thus, when the shuttle vehicle frame 1 is used in snowy weather, the area on the surface of the shuttle vehicle frame 1 carrying the robot body 2 is always covered. When the robot body 2 returns to the shuttle vehicle frame 1 after completing the sweeping, the sweeping belt 7 can also be reset under the action of the robot body 2 and the ring spring 5. During the return process of the sweeping belt 7, the snow on its surface comes into contact with the other side of the shuttle vehicle frame 1 and is scraped off the surface of the sweeping belt 7. Thus, no snow will obstruct the reset path of the robot body 2, ensuring that the snow and other debris on the surface of the shuttle vehicle frame 1 can be swept away during the sweeping process of the robot body 2.

[0039] In some specific implementations, several connecting shafts 12 are fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two drive columns 3. The connecting shafts 12 are arranged in a ring array on the surface of the drive column 3. Connecting grooves 13 are provided at both ends of the sweeping rod 6. The connecting shafts 12 are adapted to the connecting grooves 13. The drive column 3 away from the ring spring 5 is slidably disposed inside the shuttle frame 1. A return spring 11 is provided between the drive column 3 and the shuttle frame 1. The end of the return spring 11 is rotatably connected to the drive column 3. With the presence of the return spring 11, a single drive column 3 can achieve self-reset after sliding. When the sweeping rod 6 needs to be replaced, the drive column 3 can be rotated and squeezed to disengage it from the sweeping rod 6, thus disassembling the sweeping rod 6. At the same time, the transmission between the sweeping rod 6 and the drive column 3 is further restricted by the connecting shafts 12 and the connecting grooves 13, ensuring that the sweeping rod 6 and the drive column 3 can rotate synchronously and that the sweeping rod 6 will not fall off during use.

[0040] In some specific implementations, the fixing assembly includes several fixing rods 14 fixedly disposed on the side of the connecting block 8 away from the cleaning belt 7. Each fixing rod 14 has a fixing groove on its surface. The side of the shuttle frame 1 away from the cleaning rod 6 has a moving groove 15 and a vertical groove. The vertical groove and the moving groove 15 are connected and perpendicular to each other. The moving groove 15 is adapted to the fixing rods 14. A vertical rod 16 is slidably connected inside the vertical groove. A vertical spring 17 is fixedly connected between the vertical rod 16 and the vertical groove. The vertical rod 16 is adapted to the fixing groove. Through the fixing rods 14 on the side of the connecting block 8 away from the cleaning belt 7, when the cleaning rod 6 completely covers the surface of the shuttle frame 1, the position of the cleaning belt 7 can be fixed. Thus, when the robot body 2 is separated from the shuttle frame 1, the cleaning belt 7 will not move again. At the same time, the presence of the vertical rod 16 and the vertical spring 17 will not hinder the sliding of the cleaning belt 7 when it is reset.

[0041] In some specific implementations, the driving component includes a driving groove 18 formed on the surface of the robot body 2, and a plurality of triangular blocks 19 are slidably connected to the surface of the connecting block 8. A connecting spring 20 is fixedly connected between two triangular blocks 19, and the two triangular blocks 19 are adapted to the driving groove 18. Through the triangular blocks 19 and the driving groove 18, it can be ensured that the robot body 2 can drive the connecting block 8 to slide when sliding, and the cleaning belt 7 can cover the movement path of the robot body 2.

[0042] In some specific implementations, the locking assembly includes a locking groove 22 formed on the surface of the drive column 3, a locking tooth 21 slidably connected inside the shuttle frame 1, the locking tooth 21 being adapted to the locking groove 22, a locking rod 23 fixedly connected to the surface of the locking tooth 21, a vertical groove 24 formed on the surface of the locking rod 23, a drive shaft fixedly connected to the surface of the locking column 4, the drive shaft being adapted to the vertical groove 24, and the distance between the drive shaft and the center of the locking column 4 being greater than zero; through the contact between the locking tooth 21 and the locking groove 22, the drive column 3 cannot rotate, and thus the rotation of the locking column 4 can prevent the drive column 3 from rotating. The rotation of the locking column 4 is driven by the robot body 2, and thus after the robot body 2 leaves the shuttle frame 1, the drive column 3 cannot rotate, the annular spring 5 cannot retract the sweeping belt 7, ensuring the coverage effect of the sweeping belt 7 on the shuttle frame 1;

[0043] In some specific implementations, the shuttle frame 1 includes a knotting frame, and the robot body 2 is slidably connected to the knotting frame on the side away from the sweeping belt 7. An inclined block is provided on the side of the knotting frame away from the robot body 2. The inclined block can guide the snow on the surface of the knotting frame to slide in a specified direction, so as to avoid it accumulating on the surface of the shuttle frame 1.

[0044] The working principle of this utility model:

[0045] When the shuttle frame 1 is used in snowy weather, the shuttle frame 1 drives the robot body 2 to slide to a suitable position. The robot body 2 then slides out of the shuttle frame 1 inside the shuttle frame 1. During the sliding process, the connecting block 8 slides, which causes the cleaning belt 7 to extend. The cleaning belt 7 covers the sliding area of ​​the robot body 2 on the surface of the shuttle frame 1. After the robot body 2 slides to the other end of the shuttle frame 1, the fixing rod 14 on the surface of the cleaning belt 7 is engaged in the moving groove 15. The locking block 9 contacts the locking shaft 10 and slides again. The locking block 9 causes the locking shaft 10 to rotate, which in turn causes the locking column 4 to rotate. The rotation of the locking column 4 causes the locking rod 23 to slide, causing the locking tooth 21 to contact the locking groove 22, restricting the rotation of the drive column 3. The cleaning belt 7 is fixed in position. After the robot body 2 completes cleaning, it causes the locking column 4 to reverse when resetting. The cleaning belt 7 is reset under the action of the ring spring 5, and the snow on the surface of the cleaning belt 7 is scraped off by the inner wall of the shuttle frame 1 on the other side.

[0046] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of the present utility model. However, the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
