[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of a detection robot for use in coal mines, comprising a shell 1, a first motor 101 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1, a support column 102 fixedly mounted at the output end of the first motor 101, an electric push rod 103 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1, a push block 104 fixedly mounted at the output end of the electric push rod 103, a support ring 105 slidably connected to the outer wall of the push block 104, the inner wall of the support ring 105 being disposed on the outer wall of the support column 102, and a tray fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support column 102. 106. A support rod 107 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tray 106. A slide rod 108 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tray 106. The outer wall of the slide rod 108 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support ring 105. A rotating shaft 109 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slide rod 108. A connecting rod 110 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 109. The outer wall of the connecting rod 110 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support rod 107. A probe head 111 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 110. An obstacle-crossing component is provided on the lower surface of the outer shell 1. The obstacle-crossing component is used for the mobile robot.
[0026] Specifically, the first motor 101 is started to drive the support column 102 to rotate the tray 106. The rotation of the tray 106 drives the support rod 107 to rotate the connecting rod 110. During use, this adjusts the horizontal detection angle of the robot's camera. After adjusting the robot's horizontal detection angle, the electric push rod 103 is started. The electric push rod 103 pushes the push block 104 to make the support ring 105 slide on the support column 102. During use, the sliding of the support ring 105 will drive the slide rod 108 to slide in the tray 106. During use, this limits the movement trajectory of the slide rod 108 to prevent deviation. The movement of the slide rod 108 will cause the rotating shaft 109 to move the connecting rod 110. This adjusts the vertical detection angle of the robot. The connecting rod 110 will drive the probe head 111 to move at multiple angles. During use, this allows for multi-angle adjustment of the robot's camera, making the robot's detection more accurate.
[0027] Reference Figure 3 The obstacle-crossing component includes a support plate 3, the upper surface of the support plate 3 is disposed on the lower surface of the housing 1, the inner wall of the support plate 3 is rotatably connected to a support column 4, the outer wall of the support column 4 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 5, the outer wall of the rotating rod 5 is rotatably connected to a tire 6, the outer wall of the support column 4 is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 7, the tooth end of the first bevel gear 7 is meshed with a second bevel gear 8, and the upper surface of the support plate 3 is provided with a lifting component.
[0028] Specifically, when the robot encounters an obstacle, the tire 6 is lifted, causing the rotating rod 5 and the support column 4 to rotate. The support column 4 rotates in the support plate 3. During the rotation, the support column 4 drives the first bevel gear 7 to push the second bevel gear 8, causing the tire 6 on the other side to move. In use, this has the effect of timely adjusting the robot's movement state, improving movement and preventing tipping.
[0029] Reference Figure 4 The lifting assembly includes a protective shell 2. The lower surface of the protective shell 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 3. A second motor 201 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 3. A worm gear 202 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 201. A worm wheel 203 is meshed with the tooth end of the worm gear 202. A rotating column 204 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the worm wheel 203. A fixed plate 205 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 204. A push block 206 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 204. A slider 207 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the push block 206. A support block 208 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider 207. The lower surface of the support block 208 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 3. A worktable 209 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slider 207. The outer wall of the worktable 209 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the protective shell 2.
[0030] Specifically, the second motor 201 is first started to rotate the worm gear 202. While the worm gear 202 is rotating, it drives the worm wheel 203 to push the rotating column 204 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating column 204, the pushing block 206 rotates in the fixed plate 205. In use, this can limit the rotating column 204 to prevent it from falling off during rotation. During the rotation of the pushing block 206, the slider 207 slides in the support block 208. In use, this can limit the movement trajectory of the slider 207 to prevent it from deviating during use. The movement of the slider 207 will drive the worktable 209 to slide in the protective shell 2. In use, this can adjust the robot height according to the height of the coal mine shaft to improve the robot's adaptability.
[0031] Working principle: When the robot is needed, the second motor 201 is started first to drive the worm gear 202 to rotate. The worm gear 202 drives the worm wheel 203 to push the rotating column 204 to rotate. The rotating column 204 drives the push block 206 to rotate in the fixed plate 205, which restricts the rotating column 204 and prevents it from falling off during rotation. The rotation of the push block 206 pushes the slider 207 to slide in the support block 208, which restricts the movement trajectory of the slider 207 and prevents it from deviating during movement. The movement of the slider 207 drives the worktable 209 to slide in the protective shell 2, which allows the robot height to be adjusted according to the height of the coal mine shaft, improving the robot's adaptability. After the robot height is adjusted, the first motor 101 is started to drive the support column 102 to rotate the tray 106. The tray 106 drives the support rod 107 to rotate the connecting rod 110, which adjusts the horizontal angle of the robot's camera. After the horizontal angle is adjusted, the electric push rod 103 is started. The electric push rod 103 pushes the push block 104 to drive the support ring 105. The support ring 105 slides on the support column 102, which in turn drives the slide rod 108 to slide in the tray 106. This restricts the movement trajectory of the slide rod 108 and prevents it from deviating during movement. The movement of the slide rod 108 drives the rotating shaft 109 to pull the connecting rod 110, which adjusts the vertical angle of the robot's camera. The connecting rod 110 drives the probe head 111 to move, which adjusts the robot's camera from multiple angles to make the robot's detection more accurate. After adjusting the robot's height and detection angle, the robot is started and moves. When the robot encounters an obstacle, the tire 6 drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate. The rotating rod 5 drives the support column 4 to rotate in the support plate 3. The rotation of the support column 4 drives the first bevel gear 7 to push the second bevel gear 8, which adjusts the robot's movement state in time to make it move better and prevent it from tipping over. In use, this robot can not only adjust the robot's camera from multiple angles to make the robot's detection more accurate, but also adjust the robot's height according to the height of the coal mine shaft to improve the robot's adaptability.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
