[0001] This utility model relates to the field of patrol robot technology, and in particular to an urban management patrol robot. Background Technology
[0002] Inspection robots are automated devices that integrate multiple sensors, autonomous navigation technology, and artificial algorithms. They are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, power, petrochemicals, and data centers to replace manual labor in periodic or irregular inspection tasks. Different types of inspection robots are categorized based on their operating environment.
[0003] Urban patrol robots need to inspect road conditions by patrolling. Currently, some robots usually use tires to walk. Although tires have the advantages of high speed and low energy consumption on flat roads, they are prone to slipping on complex terrain. Tracked vehicles have strong passability and wide terrain adaptability, but they have the disadvantages of bulky structure, slow steering and high energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a city management patrol robot, including a vehicle body, which includes a lower body and an upper body;
[0006] A vision module that is mounted on the upper body and can rotate flexibly;
[0007] A dual-running mechanism for driving the vehicle body, wherein the dual-running mechanism includes: track running mechanisms respectively disposed on both sides of the bottom of the lower vehicle body; and a tire running mechanism disposed below the lower vehicle body and located between the two track running mechanisms.
[0008] The tire running mechanism includes: a chassis capable of vertical reciprocating motion; a plurality of tire frames disposed below the chassis; a drive assembly disposed on the tire frames; a tire rotatably connected to the tire frames and driven independently by the drive assembly; and a transmission assembly for driving the chassis to lift and lower.
[0009] Furthermore, the tracked walking mechanism includes: a transmission unit fixed to both sides of the bottom of the lower vehicle body; and a walking track that enables the vehicle body to move through the transmission unit.
[0010] Furthermore, the vision module includes a rotating seat that is laterally rotatably connected to the upper body; and cameras disposed on both sides of the rotating seat and rotating vertically therewith.

[0022] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0023] See appendix Figure 1-4 As shown in Embodiment 1, an urban management patrol robot includes a vehicle body, which includes a lower vehicle body 1 and an upper vehicle body 2; a vision module disposed on the upper vehicle body 2 and capable of flexible rotation; the vision module consists of a rotating component and a camera 31, and is used to take pictures of the surrounding situation for easy transmission of the on-site situation.
[0024] A dual-running mechanism for driving the vehicle body, comprising: track running mechanisms respectively located on both sides of the bottom of the lower vehicle body 1; and a tire running mechanism located below the lower vehicle body 1 and between the two track running mechanisms.
[0025] When traveling on smooth roads, a tire-based walking mechanism can be used, which is fast, energy-efficient, and stable. When traveling on poor gravel roads, a track-based walking mechanism can be used, which enables the robot to operate stably on gravel roads, reduces bumps, and improves the adaptability of the vehicle. By switching between tracks and tires, the robot can travel on various complex road conditions, which improves its practicality.
[0026] The tire running mechanism includes: a chassis 5 capable of vertical reciprocating motion; a plurality of tire frames 51 disposed below the chassis 5; a drive assembly 52 disposed on the tire frames 51; a tire 53 rotatably connected to the tire frames 51 and driven independently by the drive assembly 52; and a transmission assembly for driving the chassis 5 to lift.
[0027] The chassis 5, tire frame 51, drive assembly 52, tires 53, and transmission assembly form a tire-based walking mechanism. By raising and lowering the chassis 5, the tires 53 can contact the ground. By lowering the tires 53, the robot body can be raised, preventing the tracked walking mechanism from contacting the ground. Thus, the robot can move by using the tires 53. When the robot detects poor road conditions through the vision module, the chassis 5 can be raised, allowing the tires 53 to be placed between the two tracked walking mechanisms. The tracks replace the tires 53 to run on poor road surfaces, improving the stability of the robot's movement.
[0028] Furthermore, the tracked traveling mechanism includes: a transmission unit 4 fixed on both sides of the bottom of the lower body 1; and a traveling track 41 that realizes the movement of the vehicle body through the transmission unit 4.
[0029] The transmission unit 4 consists of a track driver and a frame. It can drive the walking track 41 to work through the track driver. It is controlled by a separate transmission unit 4, which facilitates the robot's turning.
[0030] Furthermore, the vision module includes a rotating seat 3 that is laterally rotatably connected to the upper body 2; and cameras 31 located on both sides of the rotating seat 3 and rotating vertically therewith.
[0031] The rotating base 3 can be controlled by a servo motor to achieve multi-angle rotation of the camera 31.
[0032] Furthermore, a shock-absorbing component 54 is provided under the chassis 5, and the tire frame 51 is mounted on the chassis 5 via the shock-absorbing component 54.
[0033] Connecting the tire carrier 51 to the chassis 5 via the shock-absorbing assembly 54 provides cushioning during operation, thus improving its stability.
[0034] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes: a plurality of lead screws 55 that vertically penetrate the chassis 5; and a nut seat 56 that is threaded to the outer wall of the lead screws 55 and fixedly connected to the chassis 5.
[0035] When the lead screw 55 rotates, it drives the nut seat 56 to rise and fall. Since the nut seat 56 is fixedly connected to the chassis 5, the chassis 5 can be raised and lowered by rotating the lead screw 55, thus realizing the switching between the tire 53 and the track.
[0036] Furthermore, the inner side of the transmission unit 4 is provided with a vertical slide rail 57, and the two sides of the chassis 5 are provided with sliders 58 that are slidably connected to the slide rail 57.
[0037] The slide rail 57 and the slider 58 can limit the movement of the chassis 5, increasing its lifting stability.
[0038] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes: a driven wheel 6 located at one end of the lead screw 55 inside the lower body 1, the driven wheel 6 being connected to each other via a belt; a first bevel gear 61 fixedly sleeved on one of the lead screws 55; a motor housing 62 located inside the lower body 1; and a second bevel gear 63 located on the output shaft of the motor housing 62 and meshing with the first bevel gear 61.
[0039] The motor housing 62 is composed of a servo motor and a reduction gear. When the motor housing 62 is working, it can drive the second bevel gear 63 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 61, thereby driving the lead screw 55 to rotate. Since the lead screws 55 are mutually driven by belts, several lead screws 55 can rotate synchronously to achieve lifting control.
[0040] Furthermore, the interior of the lower body 1 is equipped with a processing module 7 and an energy management module 9, and the outer wall of the lower body 1 is detachably equipped with a sensing module 8.
[0041] The energy management module 9 uses existing new energy technologies, the processing module 7 consists of electronic components such as controllers, and the sensing module 8 can detect road conditions through sensors.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
