Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection device technology, specifically an artificial intelligence unmanned inspection device with dust collection function. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, especially in factory workshops, the application of unmanned inspection devices is becoming increasingly widespread. Traditional unmanned inspection devices are mainly used to monitor equipment operating status and environmental parameters; however, they have significant limitations.

[0003] On the one hand, traditional unmanned inspection devices can generally only perform inspections in one direction. In complex factory workshop environments, it is difficult to flexibly cover the inspection area in all directions, resulting in low inspection efficiency and blind spots.

[0004] On the other hand, in factory workshops, metal dust generated from welding operations and metal shavings from cutting machines and other equipment often fall to the ground. However, traditional unmanned inspection devices generally lack effective dust collection and cleaning functions, and cannot autonomously clean up this metal dust and shavings, still requiring manual cleaning. This not only increases labor costs, but also suffers from timeliness issues in manual cleaning, which may lead to the long-term accumulation of metal dust and shavings, adversely affecting the environmental hygiene of the workshop and the normal operation of equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the needs and shortcomings of current technological development by providing an AI-powered unmanned inspection device with dust collection capabilities.

[0006] This utility model discloses an artificial intelligence-based unmanned inspection device with dust collection function. The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0007] An AI-powered unmanned inspection device with dust collection function includes a housing, a dust collection assembly and an inspection host built into the housing, a robotic arm 1 located on the left side of the housing, and robotic arms 2 located on the other three sides of the housing.

[0008] The vacuuming assembly has a vacuum port connected to a square hollow iron core; an electrical connection block is fixed to the outer side of the square hollow iron core, and the electrical connection block is electrically connected to the inspection host. The inspection host supplies power to the coil wound on the square hollow iron core through the electrical connection block, thereby magnetizing the iron core to attract ferromagnetic metal debris passing through the square hollow iron core; a wide round suction nozzle is connected downward to the square hollow iron core, and the wide round suction nozzle extends downward through the bottom plate of the box;

[0009] The connection point between robotic arm one and the housing is higher than the connection point between robotic arm two and the housing. The bottoms of robotic arm one and robotic arm two are flush and each is connected to a rotary motor. The rotating shaft of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the mechanical wheel, which is used to drive the mechanical wheel to rotate around its own axis. Servo motors are installed on both sides of the rotating shaft of the mechanical wheel. The output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the mechanical wheel through a coupling, which is used to control the direction and speed of the mechanical wheel, thereby realizing the driving and movement direction adjustment of the inspection device.

[0010] The inspection host is installed above the vacuuming component. An inspection camera is set on the top of the inspection host, and a miniature camera is set on the side of the inspection host. The inspection host integrates an artificial intelligence chip. The inspection host analyzes the environmental data collected by the inspection camera and the miniature camera in real time through the chip, generates inspection path planning and anomaly recognition instructions, and then controls the operation of the rotary motor, servo motor and vacuuming component of the inspection device.

[0011] Optionally, the dust collection components involved include a housing, a dust collection box, fan one, and fan two; wherein:

[0012] A metal bracket is fixed at the bottom of the outer casing. A motor is installed on one side of the metal bracket, and a dust collection box is installed on the other side of the metal bracket. A vertical fan is installed at the inlet of the dust collection box.

[0013] The bottom of the outer casing is connected to a square hollow iron core through a wide, square suction nozzle. The wide, square suction nozzle has a built-in horizontal fan.

[0014] The motor's output shaft is connected to fan one and fan two via a transmission mechanism. When fan one and fan two are working, they generate negative pressure, which in turn creates suction.

[0015] Preferably, the square hollow iron core in question has multiple layers of filter screens built in.

[0016] Alternatively, the housing may have an internal partition with the dust collection component placed downwards on the partition. The bottom of the dust collection component's housing passes downwards through the partition and then connects downwards to the square hollow iron core via a wide, square nozzle.

[0017] Optionally, miniature cameras are installed on the four sides of the inspection host. The miniature cameras process the captured images using image recognition algorithms to identify ferromagnetic metal debris in the environment.

[0018] Optionally, a touch screen is installed on the front of the housing, which is used to monitor the working status of the vacuuming components and the inspection parameters of the inspection device in real time.

[0019] The advantages of this invention, which provides an AI-powered unmanned inspection device with dust collection function, compared to existing technologies are as follows:

[0020] 1. This utility model integrates inspection and dust collection functions, greatly improving the practicality and intelligence of the inspection device, reducing manual intervention and lowering labor costs.

[0034] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment proposes an artificial intelligence unmanned inspection device with dust collection function. Its structure includes a housing 1, a dust collection component 8 and an inspection host 9 built into the housing 1, a robotic arm 201 located on the left side of the housing, and robotic arms 202 located on the other three sides of the housing.

[0037] The vacuuming port of the vacuuming component 8 is connected to a square hollow iron core 6; an electrical connection block 601 is fixed on the outer side of the square hollow iron core 6, and the electrical connection block 601 is electrically connected to the inspection host 9. The inspection host 9 supplies power to the coil wound on the square hollow iron core 6 through the electrical connection block 601, thereby magnetizing the iron core 6 to attract ferromagnetic metal debris passing through the square hollow iron core 6; a wide round suction nozzle 7 is connected downward to the square hollow iron core 6, and the wide round suction nozzle 7 extends downward through the bottom plate 402 of the box 1;

[0038] The connection point between robotic arm 1 201 and the housing is higher than the connection point between robotic arm 2 202 and the housing. The bottoms of robotic arm 1 201 and robotic arm 2 202 are flush and each is connected to a rotary motor 501. The rotating shaft of the rotary motor 501 is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the mechanical wheel 502, which is used to drive the mechanical wheel 502 to rotate around its own axis. Servo motors are installed on both sides of the rotating shaft of the mechanical wheel 502. The output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the mechanical wheel 502 through a coupling, which is used to control the direction and speed of the mechanical wheel 502, thereby realizing the driving and movement direction adjustment of the inspection device.

[0039] The inspection host 9 is installed above the vacuuming component 8. An inspection camera 11 is set on the top of the inspection host 9, and a miniature camera 10 is set on the side of the inspection host 9. The inspection host 9 integrates an artificial intelligence chip. The inspection host 9 analyzes the environmental data collected by the inspection camera 11 and the miniature camera 10 in real time through the chip, generates inspection path planning and anomaly recognition instructions, and then controls the operation of the rotary motor 501, servo motor and vacuuming component 8 of the inspection device.

[0040] The dust collection component 8 involved in this embodiment specifically includes a housing 803, a dust collection box 802, a first fan 805, and a second fan 806; wherein:

[0041] A metal bracket is fixed below the outer casing 803. A motor 801 is installed on one side of the metal bracket, and a dust collection box 802 is installed on the other side of the metal bracket. A vertical fan 806 is installed at the inlet of the dust collection box 802.

[0042] The bottom of the outer shell 803 is connected to the square hollow iron core 6 through the wide square suction nozzle 804. The square hollow iron core 6 has multiple layers of filter screen 602 inside, and the wide square suction nozzle 804 has a horizontal fan 805 inside.

[0043] The output shaft of motor 801 is connected to fan 1 805 and fan 2 806 respectively through a transmission mechanism. When fan 1 805 and fan 2 806 are working, they generate negative pressure and thus form suction.

[0044] In this embodiment, a touch screen 3 is provided on the front side of the housing 1. The touch screen 3 is used to monitor the working status of the dust collection component 8 and the inspection parameters of the inspection device in real time.

[0045] The working principle of the inspection device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0046] 1. The operator starts the device via the touch screen 3 on the front of the housing 1. The artificial intelligence chip inside the inspection host 9 is powered on and initialized. At this time, the electrical connection block 601 is not yet powered on, and the square hollow iron core 6 is in an unmagnetized state. The inspection host 9 controls the inspection camera 11 and the miniature camera 10 to start, scan the surrounding environment through image recognition algorithms, build an initial inspection map using SLAM technology, and simultaneously calibrate the initial position of the mechanical wheel 502 to provide a data foundation for subsequent path planning.

[0047] 2. The inspection host 9 sends drive signals to the servo motors on both sides of the mechanical wheel 502 shaft according to the preset inspection task or real-time map. The servo motors adjust the speed of the mechanical wheel 502 through the gear set. At the same time, the rotary motor 501 under the first robotic arm 201 and the second robotic arm 202 cooperate to adjust the steering angle to ensure that the device remains balanced on uneven ground.

[0048] 3. The inspection camera 11 and the miniature camera 10 work together to monitor the surrounding environment. The image data is transmitted to the artificial intelligence chip of the inspection host 9. After recognition, the movement trajectory of the mechanical wheel 502 is dynamically adjusted. When the miniature camera 10 detects metal debris on the ground, the inspection device moves above the metal debris. The inspection host 9 supplies power to the coil wound on the square hollow iron core 6 through the electrical connection block 601, thereby magnetizing the iron core 6 to attract the ferromagnetic metal debris passing through the square hollow iron core 6.

[0049] 4. The inspection host 9 synchronously starts the motor 801 of the dust collection component 8, driving the first fan 805 and the second fan 806 to rotate at high speed. The first fan 805 generates strong suction at the wide round nozzle 7, adsorbing dust and light debris on the ground; the second fan 806 maintains a continuous negative pressure in the dust collection box 802, forming an airflow channel from the wide round nozzle 7 → square hollow iron core 6 → dust collection box 802; metal debris is adsorbed by the inner wall of the magnetized square hollow iron core 6, while dust enters the dust collection box 802 through the top filter 602.

[0050] 5. The touch screen 3 displays the capacity data of the dust collection box 802 in real time. When the dust weight reaches the set threshold, the inspection host 9 controls the device to automatically return to the charging base station. After returning, the inspection host 9 cuts off the power to demagnetize the square hollow iron core 6, and the metal debris falls into the recycling container. At the same time, the dust collection box cleaning alarm is triggered.

[0051] Specifically, the touch display screen 3 can be a Weintek MT8071iE or a Siemens KP700 touchscreen. The inspection host 9 can be an Advantech IPC-610L classic industrial control computer or a Huabei Industrial Control BIS-6660 industrial-grade host. The artificial intelligence chip can be the Aixin Yuanzhi AX650N, an intelligent vision chip that natively supports the Transformer network structure and can be used for image recognition, processing camera image data, and assisting in the construction of inspection maps, suitable for edge and end-side devices; or, it can be the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX, a high-performance edge computing chip with strong artificial intelligence processing capabilities, capable of efficiently running image recognition, SLAM and other algorithms, and widely used in robotics, intelligent inspection and other fields. The inspection camera 11 can be a Hikvision DS-2CD3T46WD-I3, 4 megapixels, offering good image quality, supporting multiple network protocols, and transmitting image data to the inspection host. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor inspections and has infrared night vision capabilities. Alternatively, it can be a Dahua Technology DH-IPC-HDW2433DM-0428B, also 4 megapixels, supporting intelligent analysis functions. It can work with the inspection host to perform image recognition and other operations, offering high stability and reliability, suitable for industrial inspection environments. The miniature camera 10 can be a Qiaoan JA-2023, compact and flexibly installable, supporting high-definition video recording and communicating with the inspection host to transmit image data. It is suitable for short-range monitoring, such as detecting metal debris on the ground. Alternatively, it can be an Ezviz C2C, offering good image quality and stability, supporting wireless connectivity, and easy integration into inspection devices. It can be used to assist in monitoring the surrounding environment and detecting specific targets.

[0052] Based on the inspection device of this embodiment, it can be further explained that:

[0053] A) The first fan 805 and the second fan 806 of the vacuuming assembly 8 can adopt an asynchronous speed design, and the second fan 806 has a higher speed than the first fan 805. A gradient negative pressure field is formed at the wide and square suction nozzle 804, which can improve the adsorption efficiency of fine dust and reduce energy consumption.

[0054] B) The box 1 is equipped with a partition 401. The dust collection component 8 is placed downward on the partition 401. The bottom of the outer shell 803 of the dust collection component 8 passes downward through the partition 401 and then connects downward through the wide square suction nozzle 804 to the square hollow iron core 6.

[0055] C) Miniature cameras 10 are installed on the four sides of the inspection host 9. The miniature cameras 10 process the captured images through image recognition algorithms to identify ferromagnetic metal debris in the environment.

[0056] D) The inspection host 9 is equipped with a backup lithium battery. When the main power supply line fails, the backup lithium battery automatically supplies power to the miniature camera 10, inspection camera 11, servo motor, and communication module, ensuring that the device can still complete inspection data transmission or emergency shutdown operations under abnormal conditions. The miniature camera 10 is equipped with an infrared and visible light dual-spectrum module, which can not only identify metal debris, but also capture images of equipment surface temperature, pipeline leaks, etc.

[0057] The combination of Embodiment 1 with any of the above-mentioned technical points A), B), C), and D) does not depart from the principle and spirit of this utility model.

[0058] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
