Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotics technology, specifically to an intelligent inspection device for a quadruped robot. Background Technology

[0002] Quadrupedal bionic robots are legged robots designed based on bionic principles. By mimicking the limb structure and movement patterns of quadrupedal animals (such as dogs, cats, and horses), they achieve stable walking and operation capabilities in complex terrains. Currently, quadrupedal bionic robot technology is becoming increasingly mature, and the specifications and styles of these robots are diverse. In existing technologies, quadrupedal robots often use simple sensor peripherals to perceive the external environment and thus change their behavior. With the rapid development of society, quadrupedal robots have been applied in various fields. Among them, by building inspection devices on quadrupedal robots, inspections can be carried out in some special locations.

[0003] Existing inspection devices mainly consist of an environmental perception module and a navigation and positioning system. By equipping them with LiDAR, high-definition visible light cameras, infrared thermal imagers, etc., they can achieve three-dimensional environmental modeling and equipment status monitoring. These sensors are generally placed on the robot's head or top with a base to obtain the optimal perception perspective.

[0004] While the aforementioned existing technologies have significant beneficial effects, they still have shortcomings:

[0005] The aforementioned inspection device achieves environmental perception and inspection by being installed on the top of the robot. However, the sensor part of such perception module has limited protection capabilities. When it is maliciously damaged or the robot is bumped, it is easy to affect the normal use of the sensor. This results in insufficient safety and affects inspection efficiency during normal inspection operations. Therefore, an intelligent inspection device for quadruped robots is proposed.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment of an intelligent inspection device for a quadruped robot includes a main body 1, a drive base 2 fixed to the bottom of the main body 1, a mounting plate 101, a rubber pad 102 attached to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 101, screws 103 passing through the periphery of the mounting plate 101, a protective cover 104 on the top surface of the mounting plate 101, a card holder 105 fixed to the bottom of the protective cover 104, screws 106 passing through the periphery of the card holder 105, a glass cover 107 surrounding the bottom of the protective cover 104, and slots 108 formed on the outer walls of the protective cover 104. A device base 109 is axially aligned with the top surface of the mounting plate 101, a radar base 110 is axially connected to the top surface of the device base 109, a lidar 111 is axially connected to the top of the radar base 110, a depth camera 112 is provided on one side of the radar base 110, and an infrared thermal imager 113 is provided on the other side of the radar base 110.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the inspection device in this utility model is similar in structure to existing robot inspection devices. The main improvement of this utility model is that the rubber pad 102 on the bottom of the mounting plate 101 can provide cushioning protection when it is bumped. Its protective cover 104 structure provides protection for the internal equipment seat 109 and the mounted sensors, without affecting the normal inspection use of the radar and sensors. The lidar 111 and infrared thermal imager 113 in this utility model are existing technologies. When using this inspection device, the user first attaches the mounting plate 101 to the robot mounting position through the rubber pad 102. The mounting position needs to reserve a groove that matches the size of the drive base 2. After attaching the mounting plate 101, tighten the screws 103 around the perimeter to complete the installation. During use, it is driven by the motor frame 203, which can drive the equipment connected to the top shaft. The base 109 rotates inside the protective cover 104, allowing the depth camera 112 and infrared thermal imager 113 mounted on both sides of the top surface of the base 109 to rotate and adjust. Meanwhile, the motor inside the radar base 110 rotates continuously, driving the lidar 111 to continuously detect and perform the inspection process. It is fixedly connected to the robot's top screw holes via the mounting plate 101 and the surrounding screws 103. The rubber pad 102 on the bottom of the mounting plate 101 can provide cushioning protection when it is bumped. The internal base 109 can be rotated and adjusted via the base platform 201, providing assistance for the inspection range of the sensors. The protective cover 104 structure provides protection for the internal base 109 and the mounted sensors. At the same time, the outer wall of the protective cover 104 has slots 108 and glass covers 107 around it, which do not affect the normal inspection and detection of the radar and sensors.

[0027] The aforementioned inspection device is connected to the top mounting position of the robot via the mounting plate 101 and screw 103 structure, making installation and disassembly convenient. The protective cover 104 on the top surface of the mounting plate 101 is also installed via the bracket 105 and screw 106, making it easy to remove for inspection and maintenance.

[0028] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the drive base 2 includes a base platform 201. A mounting plate 101 is fixed on the top surface of the base platform 201. A motor shaft 202 is axially connected to the top surface of the base platform 201. An equipment seat 109 is fixed to the top of the motor shaft 202. A motor frame 203 is axially connected to the bottom of the motor shaft 202. A wiring 204 is provided on one side of the motor frame 203, and a fusion positioning module 205 is provided on the other side of the motor frame 203. The bottom of the inspection device is equipped with the base platform 201. When in use, the motor frame 203 provides driving force to drive the connected motor shaft 202 and the connected equipment seat 109 to rotate. The wiring 204 can connect various sensors to the robot and power it through the robot's internal battery. The fusion positioning module 205 adopts GPS / RTK fusion positioning, which can seamlessly switch between indoor and outdoor multi-scenes and facilitates inspection.

[0029] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
