Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robotics technology and relates to an intelligent composite robot used for patrol and inspection. Background Technology

[0002] Robots are widely used in industrial facilities, security inspections, energy pipelines, public places and other fields. Their core goal is to replace or assist humans in completing repetitive and high-risk patrol tasks, thereby improving efficiency and safety.

[0003] Humanoid robots refer to humanoid robots that possess similar functions to other humanoids. While existing humanoid robots have similar physical characteristics and modes of movement to humans,

[0004] Traditional robots are typically designed to mimic human anatomy, featuring human-like features such as two hands, two feet, a head, and a torso. They can move on two feet. However, due to the immaturity and perfection of current technology, these robots are prone to falling over when moving quickly, thus limiting their movement speed.

[0005] In order to increase the speed of movement, some robots are equipped with wheels on the bottom. The robots move by rotating the wheels. However, these robots need enough space to turn, so they cannot turn in narrow spaces.

[0006] Some inspection robots commonly found on the market can only provide basic detection functions, such as monitoring abnormal activities through cameras and infrared sensors, and some air quality analysis functions. These inspection robots do not have the function of protecting against or stopping abnormal or dangerous behaviors. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems of existing inspection robots by proposing a fast-moving, humanoid patrol and inspection robot.

[0008] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0009] A smart composite robot for patrol and inspection is characterized by comprising a base and a torso fixed on the base. The torso is a humanoid mechanical structure, including a head, chest, and two arms. The chest is fixed to the base via a connecting seat. The base is provided with a plurality of drive wheels, each drive wheel including a hub motor. The base is also provided with a steering mechanism for driving the drive wheels to turn. The steering mechanism corresponds one-to-one with the drive wheels, and the steering mechanism drives the corresponding drive wheel to turn individually.

[0010] In the aforementioned intelligent composite robot used for patrol and inspection, defensive devices are provided at the outer ends of the two arms; a rotatable joint one is provided at the connection between the arm and the chest, a rotatable joint two is provided on the arm, and a rotatable joint three is provided at the outer end of the arm. The joint one, joint two, and joint three cooperate with each other to drive the movement of the aforementioned defensive devices.

[0011] In the aforementioned intelligent composite robot used for patrol and inspection, the defensive device includes a shield and a fork, with a shield mounted on one arm and a fork mounted on the other arm.

[0012] In the aforementioned intelligent composite robot used for patrol and inspection, the robot's head is equipped with a searchlight.

[0013] In the aforementioned intelligent composite robot used for patrol and inspection, the robot's head is also equipped with a camera.

[0014] In the aforementioned intelligent composite robot used for patrol and inspection, displays are provided on both the front and back of the robot's chest.

[0015] In the aforementioned intelligent composite robot used for patrol and inspection, the connecting base is equipped with several fire extinguishers.

[0016] In the aforementioned intelligent composite robot used for patrol and inspection, a speaker is provided on the connecting base.

[0017] In the aforementioned intelligent composite robot used for patrol and inspection, a guardrail is provided around the outer edge of the base.

[0018] In the aforementioned intelligent composite robot used for patrol and inspection, the steering mechanism includes a drive motor, a first rotating shaft fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and a second rotating shaft horizontally mounted on the power wheel. The axis of the first rotating shaft is vertically mounted, and the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are fixedly connected. The drive motor drives the power wheel to rotate vertically around the first rotating shaft to achieve steering.

[0019] In the aforementioned intelligent composite robot used for patrol and inspection, the steering mechanism further includes a mounting base, a drive motor fixed on the mounting base, a rotating shaft one vertically rotating on the mounting base, a support fixed at the outer end of the rotating shaft two, the upper end of the support being fixedly connected to the rotating shaft one, and the lower end being rotatably mounted on the mounting base via a rotating shaft three, which is coaxial with the rotating shaft one.

[0020] In the aforementioned intelligent composite robot used for patrol and inspection, a shock-absorbing device is also provided between the power wheel and the base. The shock-absorbing device includes a fixed seat, a connecting frame, and a shock absorber. The fixed seat is fixedly connected to the base, and two connecting frames are arranged vertically at intervals. One end of the connecting frame is rotatably connected to the mounting base via a first pin, and the other end is rotatably connected to the fixed seat via a second pin. One end of the shock absorber is sleeved on the lower first pin, and the other end is sleeved on the upper second pin. The shock absorber is also provided with a shock-absorbing spring.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The robot's main body adopts a humanoid structure and is equipped with power wheels at the bottom. The power wheels drive the robot to move, resulting in faster movement speed, higher flexibility, and a more stable chassis.

[0023] 2. By installing a shield and fork on the robot arm and using a human-like arm joint design, the shield and fork can move flexibly to protect against and stop some abnormal or dangerous behaviors.

[0024] 3. The drive wheel is self-powered, enabling forward and backward movement. It can also switch directions on the spot through a reversing mechanism, making it more flexible and allowing for reversing even in confined spaces. Attached Figure Description
