DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figures 4-10 As shown, a security robot with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cabin includes a robot body 1 and a cabin cover 2. The cabin cover 2 is slidably connected to the robot body 1, and when the cabin cover 2 is closed, it forms an UAV cabin with the robot body 1. A drive assembly 3 is provided between the cabin cover 2 and the robot body 1, and the drive assembly 3 drives the cabin cover 2 to move and open and close. The robot body 1 has a tracked walking mechanism.

[0035] The robot body 1 is equipped with a drone placement support 4, on which drones can be placed. The drones include drones with a ball cage structure and drones with landing gear.

[0036] The drone placement support 4 is provided with a limiting groove 40 for placing the drone. This limiting groove 40 is hemispherical and matches the drone with a ball cage. Furthermore, the drone placement support 4 is provided with a limiting edge 41, which restricts the free movement of the landing gear. Therefore, with the above structural configuration, both drones with a ball cage structure and drones with landing gear can be placed.

[0037] After the drone is placed on the drone mounting bracket 4, the drive mechanism closes the cabin cover 2, forming a drone cabin between the cabin cover 2 and the robot body 1. That is, when the drone is not in use, it resides inside the drone cabin, with the cabin cover 2 providing protection.

[0038] When it is necessary to use a drone for inspection, the cabin cover 2 is opened by the drive mechanism to expose the drone, and the drone is then operated by personnel for inspection.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] To prevent the robot body 1 from wobbling during movement and causing the drone to fall off the drone mounting base 4, therefore, based on Embodiment 1, as follows... ​ As shown, a drone fixing mechanism 5 is provided at the drone placement support 4.

[0041] The canopy 2 and the drone fixing mechanism 5 are connected by a linkage mechanism 6. When the canopy 2 is opened, the drone fixing mechanism 5 is also opened via the linkage mechanism 6; when the canopy 2 is closed, the drone fixing mechanism 5 is also closed via the linkage mechanism 6.

[0042] Specifically, the unmanned aerial vehicle fixing mechanism 5 is provided with two, and the two unmanned aerial vehicle fixing mechanisms 5 are oppositely arranged, and the unmanned aerial vehicle placing support 4 is located between the two unmanned aerial vehicle fixing mechanisms 5. That is, the unmanned aerial vehicle on the unmanned aerial vehicle placing support 4 is fixed / positioned by the two unmanned aerial vehicle fixing mechanisms 5.

[0043] The unmanned aerial vehicle fixing mechanism 5 comprises a fixing plate 50, a movable plate 51 and a limiting guide rod 52, the fixing plate 50 is fixedly connected with the robot body 1, the limiting guide rod 52 is slidably connected with the fixing plate 50, and a reset spring 53 is arranged between the limiting guide rod 52 and the fixing plate 50. The reset spring 53 is sleeved outside the limiting guide rod 52, and the two ends of the reset spring 53 are respectively abutted with the fixing plate 50 and the limiting guide rod 52.

[0044] The movable plate 51 is slidably connected with the limiting guide rod 52, and a fixing assembly 54 is arranged between the movable plate 51 and the limiting guide rod 52; and the movable plate 51 is connected with an arc-shaped rod 55.

[0045] The linkage mechanism 6 comprises a wedge-shaped push block 60 and a pressing plate 61; the wedge-shaped push block is fixedly connected with the outer end of the limiting guide rod 52; the pressing plate 61 is fixedly connected with the inner side of the cabin cover 2; and the limiting guide rod 52 is pushed to move through the cooperation of the pressing plate 61 and the wedge-shaped push block 60.

[0046] When the unmanned aerial vehicle placing support 4 places the unmanned aerial vehicle of the ball cage structure, the pressing plate 61 is driven to move towards the wedge-shaped push block 60 in the closing process of the cabin cover 2, the pressing plate 61 gradually contacts the wedge-shaped push block 60, thereby pushing the limiting guide rod 52, the movable plate 51 and the arc-shaped rod 55 to move towards the ball cage structure, and the reset spring 53 is compressed; after the cabin cover 2 is closed, the arc-shaped rod 55 will press the ball cage structure, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the unmanned aerial vehicle. When the unmanned aerial vehicle needs to be used for inspection, the pressing plate 61 is driven to move away from the wedge-shaped push block 60 in the opening process of the cabin cover 2, and the pressing plate 61 gradually separates from the wedge-shaped push block 60; the elastic potential energy of the reset spring 53 is released, so that the arc-shaped rod 55 moves away from the ball cage structure, that is, the fixing is released.

[0047] When the UAV with landing gear is placed on the UAV placing support 4: during the closing of the cabin cover 2, the pressing plate 61 is moved towards the wedge-shaped push block 60, the pressing plate 61 gradually contacts the wedge-shaped push block 60, thereby pushing the limiting guide rod 52 to move towards the direction of the landing gear, and the return spring 53 is compressed; after the cabin cover 2 is closed, the limiting guide rod 52 is located above the bottom horizontal bar of the landing gear, and through the cooperation of the limiting guide rod 52 and the limiting guide 41, the movement of the landing gear is limited, thereby preventing it from falling off the UAV placing support 4. When the UAV needs to be used for inspection, during the opening of the cabin cover 2, the pressing plate 61 is moved away from the wedge-shaped push block 60, and the pressing plate 61 gradually separates from the wedge-shaped push block 60; through the release of the elastic potential energy of the return spring 53, the limiting guide rod 52 is moved away from the landing gear, i.e. the fixing is released.

[0048] Further, the rolling wheel 62 cooperating with the wedge-shaped push block 60 is arranged on the pressing plate 61, and the rolling wheel 62 is rotationally connected with the pressing plate 61; through the cooperation of the rolling wheel 62 and the wedge-shaped push block 60, the resistance can be reduced.

[0049] Further, the fixing assembly 54 plays a role in fixing the position of the movable plate 51, in order to ensure that after the cabin cover 2 is closed, the arc-shaped rod 55 can press the spherical cage structure; i.e. the position can be adjusted through the fixing assembly 54.

[0050] The fixing assembly 54 includes a first adjusting nut 540 and a second adjusting nut 541, both of which are threadedly connected with the limiting guide rod 52, and the movable plate 51 is located between the first adjusting nut 540 and the second adjusting nut 541, and the movable plate 51 is pressed through the first adjusting nut 540 and the second adjusting nut 541.

[0051] When there is a gap between the arc-shaped rod 55 and the spherical cage structure after the cabin cover 2 is closed: the first adjusting nut 540 is counterclockwise rotated to move towards the direction of the UAV placing support 4, so that there is a gap between the first adjusting nut 540 and the movable plate 51. Then, after the movable plate 51 is moved to the required position towards the direction of the UAV placing support 4 (i.e. to ensure that the arc-shaped rod 55 contacts the spherical cage structure after the cabin cover 2 is closed), the first adjusting nut 540 is clockwise rotated and the second adjusting nut 541 is counterclockwise rotated, so that the first adjusting nut 540 and the second adjusting nut 541 clamp the movable plate 51.

[0052] Further, the arc-shaped rod 55 is connected with the movable plate 51 through the adjusting plate 56; the arc-shaped rod 55 is fixedly connected with the adjusting plate 56, the adjusting plate 56 is connected with the movable plate 51 through the adjusting bolt 57, and the adjusting plate 56 is provided with a corresponding waist-shaped hole 560; the adjusting bolt 57 is threadedly connected with the movable plate 51 through the waist-shaped hole 560.

[0053] When the unmanned aerial vehicle with landing gear is placed on the unmanned aerial vehicle placing support 4, in order to prevent the arc-shaped rod 55 from interfering with the unmanned aerial vehicle, the adjusting bolt 57 can be loosened, the adjusting plate 56 is pushed to move away from the unmanned aerial vehicle placing support 4, and finally the adjusting bolt 57 is tightened.

[0054] Further, the driving assembly 3 is an electric telescopic cylinder, and two ends of the electric telescopic cylinder are fixedly connected or hinged with the cabin cover 2 and the robot body 1 respectively.

[0055] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model in detail, but the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments.
