Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of emergency drainage technology, and in particular to a large-flow amphibious drainage robot. Background Technology

[0002] In emergency flood drainage and disaster relief operations, robots are often used to replace manual labor, effectively improving work efficiency and reducing personnel risks. Drainage robots can supply water remotely, collecting water remotely without the need for a water collection platform, solving the problem of water scarcity. At the same time, drainage robots are small in size and highly mobile, making them ideal for drainage in urban underground spaces and alleyways.

[0003] Existing drainage robots typically use two submersible pumps, which have a small displacement and are insufficient to meet the rapid drainage needs in emergency situations; furthermore, their forward speed is slow when wading. The number of submersible pumps in existing drainage robots is usually fixed, and cannot be flexibly increased or decreased to meet the needs of different scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a large-capacity amphibious drainage robot to solve the problems of small drainage capacity, slow movement speed and insufficient equipment expandability of existing drainage robots.

[0005] This utility model adopts the following technical solution: a large-flow amphibious drainage robot, including a body, the body having a base plate, the front half of the base plate having a drive chamber with heat dissipation holes, the drive chamber having a power unit and a control module, the power unit being a lithium battery pack, the control module being connected to the control room of an external drainage vehicle; the rear of the base plate having a flipping device, the flipping device having two sets, installed opposite each other on the left and right, each including a motor, a tray and a flipping bracket, the motor being fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate of the body, the motor output shaft being hinged to one end of the flipping bracket, the flipping bracket being an L-shaped bracket, the other end being connected to the tray, and a submersible pump being installed above the tray.

[0006] Furthermore, each of the submersible pumps is mounted on the tray via a mounting bracket, which includes a connecting plate, a front buckle, and a rear limiting plate. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tray. The front buckle is a detachable upper and lower clip structure. There are two rear limiting plates, which are respectively installed on both sides of the rear end of the connecting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the trays is provided with two triangular support plates underneath.

[0008] Furthermore, two submersible pumps are also installed at the lower rear end of the machine body, which together with the submersible pump at the top of the machine body form a water intake device.

[0009] Furthermore, a chassis is mounted on the lower end of the base plate of the machine body, and a walking device is mounted below the chassis. The walking device includes a propeller and wheels. The propeller is located at the lower rear end of the base plate, which can increase the walking speed of the drainage robot in water. There are 6 wheels, which are symmetrically installed on the lower sides of the chassis. Each wheel is connected to a hydraulic motor.

[0010] Furthermore, a protective railing is provided at the front of the machine body, and a camera is installed at the top of the protective railing.

[0011] Furthermore, a hydraulic reel is provided below the guardrail and at the frontmost end of the machine body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model, by installing an L-shaped tilting device at the rear of the drainage robot, can carry multiple submersible pumps. When the submersible pumps are not in use, they can be tilted onto the robot chassis, reducing the robot's width for easier movement. During drainage operations, the tilting device rotates the submersible pumps 180° to collect water. This mechanism increases the number of drainage pumps carried by the drainage robot, thereby increasing the drainage capacity.

[0014] 2. By installing thrusters at the rear of the robot, the travel speed of the drainage robot is greatly improved. Meanwhile, the submersible pump is installed in a modular manner, facilitating the addition or removal of pumps and offering strong expandability. Attached Figure Description
