Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection robot technology, and in particular to an obstacle avoidance device for inspection robots in unknown environments in factory areas. Background Technology

[0002] Inspection robots are intelligent devices that can replace humans in completing inspection tasks. When inspectors are unable to assess the safety of unknown areas in a factory, they often use inspection robots to replace humans in inspecting and handling these areas.

[0003] A search revealed an obstacle avoidance device for an inspection robot disclosed in publication number CN221726432U, comprising: a shell, a connecting plate fitted inside the shell, a logic controller fixedly mounted above the connecting plate, a stepper motor fixedly mounted above the connecting plate, a limit frame fitted above the stepper motor, a fixing bolt inserted above the limit frame, an adapter block inserted on the shaft of the stepper motor, a scraper fixedly mounted below the adapter block, a support block fixedly mounted inside the shell, a mounting base fixedly mounted inside the shell, a connecting frame fixedly mounted above the mounting base, an infrared ranging module fixedly mounted inside the mounting base and the connecting frame, an ultra-thin tempered glass plate fitted to the front of the shell, a gasket fixedly mounted at the upper end of the shell, and a battery fixedly mounted at the rear of the mounting base; the shell protects the internal infrared ranging module.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical solution has certain beneficial effects, which can ensure the use of the overall obstacle avoidance function during the inspection of the inspection robot. However, the connection between the whole and the inspection robot is made by bolts. When disassembling and replacing it, the operator needs to use disassembly tools. At the same time, the disassembled bolts are easy to be lost, and it is not quick and convenient to disassemble it. Therefore, we propose an obstacle avoidance device for inspection robots in unknown environments in the factory area. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an obstacle avoidance device for a factory area unknown environment inspection robot, which can solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0007] The obstacle avoidance device for the factory area unknown environment inspection robot includes:

[0008] The inspection robot body has symmetrically threaded holes on its front surface.

[0009] A fixed limiting frame is bolted to the front surface of the inspection robot body;

[0010] The movable mounting component is movably inserted into the inner side of the fixed limiting frame;

[0015] In a further technical solution, the movable mounting component includes a connecting mounting block, a connecting handle is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting mounting block, and fixed limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the connecting mounting block.

A limiting end block is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting mounting rod away from the connecting mounting plate.

[0017] In a further technical solution, the outer surface of the connecting limiting end block and the inner surface of the fixing limiting groove are fitted together.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. Through the cooperation between the fixed limiting frame, movable mounting component, infrared ranging and obstacle avoidance module and fixed limiting mechanism, when it is necessary to disassemble or assemble the infrared ranging and obstacle avoidance module, the movable mounting component can be directly lifted, which will drive the infrared ranging and obstacle avoidance module to move. When the movable mounting component moves inside the fixed limiting frame, it cooperates with the fixed limiting mechanism, so that the movable mounting component and the infrared ranging and obstacle avoidance module can be quickly disassembled and assembled. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0022] 2.

[0034] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example:

[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the obstacle avoidance device for the factory area unknown environment inspection robot includes:

[0037] The inspection robot body 1 has symmetrical threaded holes on its front surface;

[0038] The fixed limiting frame 2 is bolted to the front surface of the inspection robot body 1;

[0039] The movable mounting component 3 is movably inserted into the inside of the fixed limiting frame 2;

[0040] Infrared ranging and obstacle avoidance module 4 is fixedly mounted on the front surface of movable mounting component 3;

[0041] The fixed limiting mechanism 5 is fixedly installed on both sides of the fixed limiting frame 2;

[0042] The fixed protective mechanism 6 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the fixed limiting frame 2.

[0043] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0044] In use, the infrared ranging obstacle avoidance module 4 ensures that the entire inspection robot body 1 can achieve obstacle avoidance. When it is necessary to disassemble the infrared ranging obstacle avoidance module 4, first pull up the fixed protective mechanism 6 to disassemble it. Then, pull up the movable mounting component 3 so that it cooperates with the fixed limiting mechanism 5. This allows the movable mounting component 3 to squeeze the output end of the fixed limiting mechanism 5, enabling the fixed limiting mechanism 5 to adjust itself. The fixed limiting mechanism 5 no longer restricts the movable mounting component 3, allowing it to detach from the inside of the fixed limiting frame 2. This allows for quick disassembly and maintenance of the infrared ranging obstacle avoidance module 4, making the operation convenient and fast.

[0045] In another embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the fixed limiting frame 2 includes a connecting leg 21 that is bolted to the inspection robot body 1. One end of the connecting leg 21 is fixedly connected to the limiting frame body 22. The inner side of the limiting frame body 22 and the outer side of the movable mounting component 3 are in contact with each other.

[0046] It is convenient to connect the connecting leg 21 to the inspection robot body 1 with bolts, and directly insert the movable mounting component 3 into the inner side of the limiting frame body 22 to cooperate with the fixed limiting mechanism 5 for installation and fixation, which is easy to operate.

[0047] In another embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the movable mounting component 3 includes a connecting mounting block 31, a connecting handle 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting mounting block 31, and fixed limiting grooves 33 are provided on both sides of the connecting mounting block 31. The infrared ranging obstacle avoidance module 4 is located on the front surface of the connecting mounting block 31.

[0048] The connecting handle 32 is easy to move, which in turn moves the connecting mounting block 31, allowing the connecting mounting block 31 to be inserted into the inner side of the limiting frame body 22. This enables the fixed limiting groove 33 to connect and cooperate with the fixed limiting mechanism 5, thereby stably restricting the connecting mounting block 31 to the inner side of the limiting frame body 22, making operation convenient.

[0049] In another embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fixed limiting mechanism 5 includes a connecting mounting sleeve 51. A force spring 52 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting mounting sleeve 51 away from the limiting frame body 22. The other end of the force spring 52 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 53. A connecting mounting rod 54 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting mounting plate 53 away from the force spring 52. A limiting end block 55 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting mounting rod 54 away from the connecting mounting plate 53.

[0050] The connecting mounting plate 53, under the action of the force spring 52, can restrict the position of the connecting mounting rod 54 and the connecting limiting end block 55, so that the connecting limiting end block 55 can be stably inserted into the inner side of the fixed limiting groove 33, thereby restricting the position of the connecting mounting plug 31.

[0051] In another embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer surface of the connecting limiting end block 55 and the inner surface of the fixing limiting groove 33 are in contact with each other.

[0052] The connection limiting end block 55 can be stably inserted into the inner side of the fixed limiting groove 33 to restrict the position of the connecting installation plug 31, making operation convenient.

[0053] In another embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the fixed protective mechanism 6 includes a fixed connecting frame 61 symmetrically located on the front surface of the connecting leg 21. A fixed magnet 62 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the fixed connecting frame 61. A connecting block 63 is movably inserted into the inner side of the fixed connecting frame 61. A transparent protective glass plate 64 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the connecting block 63. A connecting top block 65 is fixedly connected to the top of the transparent protective glass plate 64. A lifting handle 66 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the connecting top block 65.

[0054] The lifting handle 66 is easy to move, which in turn moves the connecting top block 65, the transparent protective glass plate 64, and the connecting plug 63. This allows the connecting plug 63 to be inserted into the inside of the fixed connecting frame 61, and the fixing magnet 62 to attract the connecting plug 63. This allows the connecting plug 63, the transparent protective glass plate 64, the connecting top block 65, and the lifting handle 66 to be installed and fixed, so that the transparent protective glass plate 64 can protect the infrared ranging obstacle avoidance module 4. This makes operation convenient.

[0055] In another embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the inner side of the transparent protective glass plate 64 is in contact with the outer surface of the infrared ranging obstacle avoidance module 4.

[0056] The transparent protective glass plate 64 provides stable protection for the infrared ranging and obstacle avoidance module 4, and is easy to operate.

[0057] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, when the infrared ranging obstacle avoidance module 4 needs to be disassembled and maintained, firstly, pull the lifting handle 66 upwards, causing the connecting top block 65, transparent protective glass plate 64, and connecting plug 63 to move. This allows the connecting plug 63 to move upwards from the inside of the fixed connecting frame 61, separating it from the fixed magnet 62. The connecting plug 63 then detaches from the inside of the fixed connecting frame 61, and the transparent protective glass plate 64 detaches from the outside of the infrared ranging obstacle avoidance module 4, no longer providing protection for it. Then, the connecting handle 32 is... The movement of the connecting mounting block 31 and the infrared ranging and obstacle avoidance module 4 causes the fixed limiting groove 33 to move upward inside the limiting frame body 22. This causes the inner edge of the fixed limiting groove 33 to press against the connecting limiting end block 55, allowing the connecting limiting end block 55 to move. This pushes the connecting mounting rod 54 and the connecting mounting plate 53, and compresses the force spring 52, allowing the connecting mounting block 31 to detach from the inside of the limiting frame body 22. This completes the disassembly of the infrared ranging and obstacle avoidance module 4, facilitating its disassembly, inspection, and maintenance. The overall structure is simple and the operation is convenient and quick.

[0058] The above embodiments merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
