[0015] In some embodiments, the air supply assembly includes:

[0016] A ventilation source, wherein the ventilation source is located within the distribution cabinet and is electrically connected to the control module; and

[0017] A ventilation duct, one end of which is connected to the accommodating cavity and the other end of which is connected to the air source;

[0018] The control module controls the air source to supply cold or hot air based on the temperature collected by the temperature sensor, and the cold or hot air is delivered to the accommodating cavity through the ventilation duct.

[0019] In some embodiments, the garage includes:

[0020] The main body, wherein the main body is provided with the receiving cavity; and

[0027] Beneficial effects:

[0028] The inspection robot is wirelessly charged by using a first wireless charging module and a second wireless charging module. Compared with the existing technology of inspection robots using contact charging, this application eliminates the risk of physical interface exposure in contact charging by using non-contact energy transmission. This prevents the risk of electric shock due to exposed contacts in humid environments such as rain. At the same time, it can also avoid problems such as electric sparks, leakage or short circuits that may occur with contact charging, significantly improving the safety of charging the inspection robot. Secondly, contact charging relies on mechanical contact connection, which is prone to problems such as plug wear and poor contact after long-term use, requiring regular replacement of parts. In contrast, the wireless charging used in this application avoids physical wear and tear, reducing the maintenance frequency and cost of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0045] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0046] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This application provides a garage component 1 for an inspection robot, including a garage 11, a track 12, a power distribution cabinet 13, and a first wireless charging module 14. The garage 11 is located between two railway tracks and has a receiving cavity 1111. The track 12 is used for the inspection robot to run, and extends from the receiving cavity 1111 to the outside of the garage 11 along the extension direction of the railway tracks. The power distribution cabinet 13 is located on one side of the railway tracks and contains a power source (not shown in the figure). The first wireless charging module 14 is located inside the garage 11 and is electrically connected to the power source via a cable (not shown in the figure). The first wireless charging module 14 is configured to pair with a second wireless charging module located on the inspection robot to charge the inspection robot after the inspection robot enters the receiving cavity 1111.

[0047] The cable is installed inside the cable conduit 17.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the inspection robot is low on power, it moves along track 12 into the receiving cavity 1111. When the inspection robot moves to the preset position, the second wireless charging module of the inspection robot pairs with the first wireless charging module 14 disposed in the receiving cavity 1111. After the first wireless charging module 14 pairs with the second wireless charging module, it charges the inspection robot.

[0049] In this embodiment, the inspection robot is wirelessly charged via a first wireless charging module 14 and a second wireless charging module. Compared to the contact charging method used in existing inspection robots, this application eliminates the risk of physical interface exposure in contact charging through non-contact energy transfer. This prevents the risk of electric shock due to exposed contacts in humid environments such as rain. It also avoids problems such as electrical sparks, leakage, or short circuits that can occur with contact charging, significantly improving the safety of charging the inspection robot. Furthermore, contact charging relies on mechanical contact connections, which can easily lead to plug wear and poor contact over time, requiring periodic component replacement. The wireless charging used in this application avoids physical wear and tear, reducing the frequency and cost of equipment maintenance.

[0050] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first wireless charging module 14 is disposed at the bottom of the garage 11 that forms the accommodating cavity 1111.

[0051] In the structural design of inspection robots, the second wireless charging module is usually placed at or near the bottom of the inspection robot. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first wireless charging module 14 is placed at the bottom of the unformed cavity 1111 of the garage 11. This can reduce the distance between the first wireless charging module 14 and the second charging module when the inspection robot moves to the preset position, thereby improving the stability of pairing between the first wireless charging module 14 and the second wireless charging module.

[0052] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the inspection robot garage assembly 1 further includes a temperature sensor 15 disposed in the accommodating cavity 1111 to detect the temperature of the accommodating cavity 1111.

[0053] A temperature sensor 15 is installed inside the accommodating cavity 1111 to detect the temperature of the accommodating cavity 1111. The temperature can be used to determine whether the environment inside the accommodating cavity 1111 is suitable for charging or starting the inspection robot.

[0054] In some embodiments, the inspection robot garage assembly 1 also includes a control module (not shown) and an air supply assembly. The control module is located in the power distribution cabinet 13, and the temperature sensor 15 is electrically connected to the control module. The air supply assembly is electrically connected to the control module, and the control module controls the air supply assembly to deliver cold or hot air into the accommodating cavity 1111 based on the temperature collected by the temperature sensor 15.

[0055] It is understandable that cold air can be air with a temperature lower than the preset temperature, and hot air can be air with a temperature higher than the preset temperature.

[0056] In this embodiment, after the temperature sensor 15 collects the temperature, the control module controls the air supply assembly to deliver cold or hot air into the accommodating cavity 1111 to balance the temperature inside the accommodating cavity 1111. For example, when the temperature collected by the temperature sensor 15 is higher than a preset temperature, the control module controls the air supply assembly to deliver cold air into the accommodating cavity 1111 to lower the temperature inside the accommodating cavity 1111; when the temperature collected by the temperature sensor 15 is lower than the preset temperature, the control module controls the air supply assembly to deliver hot air into the accommodating cavity 1111 to raise the temperature inside the accommodating cavity 1111.

[0057] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the air supply assembly includes an air source (not shown) and a ventilation duct 161. The air source is located inside the distribution cabinet 13 and is electrically connected to the control module. One end of the ventilation duct 161 is connected to the receiving cavity 1111, and the other end is connected to the air source. The control module controls the air source to supply cold or hot air based on the temperature collected by the temperature sensor 15, and the cold or hot air is delivered to the receiving cavity 1111 through the ventilation duct 161.

[0058] In this embodiment, after the temperature sensor 15 collects the temperature, the control module controls the air source to supply cold or hot air according to the temperature. The cold or hot air is delivered to the accommodating cavity 1111 through the ventilation duct 161 to balance the temperature inside the accommodating cavity 1111. For example, when the temperature collected by the temperature sensor 15 is higher than the preset temperature, the control module controls the air source to supply cold air, which is delivered to the accommodating cavity 1111 through the ventilation duct 161 to lower the temperature inside the accommodating cavity 1111; when the temperature collected by the temperature sensor 15 is lower than the preset temperature, the control module controls the air source to supply hot air, which is delivered to the accommodating cavity 1111 through the ventilation duct 161 to raise the temperature inside the accommodating cavity 1111.

[0059] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the garage 11 includes a main body 111 and a first garage door 112. The main body 111 is provided with a receiving cavity 1111, and the first garage door 112 is rotatably connected to the main body 111. The first garage door 112 is selectively rotated between a first position and a second position to open or close the receiving cavity 1111.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the inspection robot needs to be charged, the first door 112 rotates to the first position to open the accommodating cavity 1111. The inspection robot enters the accommodating cavity 1111 through the opening formed by the first door 112. After the inspection robot reaches the preset position, it is charged by pairing the first wireless charging module 14 with the second wireless charging module. During the charging process of the inspection robot, the first door 112 can rotate from the first position to the second position to close the accommodating cavity 1111, thereby isolating the inspection robot from the external environment during charging and preventing the inspection robot from being affected by the external environment during the charging process.

[0061] When the inspection robot needs to inspect the undercarriage of the freight train, the first warehouse door 112 rotates from the second position to the first position, and the inspection robot leaves the receiving cavity 1111 through the opening formed by the first warehouse door 112. The first warehouse door 112 then rotates from the first position to the second position to close the receiving cavity 1111, preventing rainwater or stones from entering the receiving cavity 1111.

[0062] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the garage 11 also includes a telescopic rod 113, one end of which is disposed in the accommodating cavity 1111, and the other end of which is connected to the first garage door 112. The telescopic rod 113 can selectively extend or shorten to drive the first garage door 112 to rotate between a first position and a second position.

[0063] In this embodiment, by extending or shortening the telescopic rod 113, the first garage door 112 is rotated between the first position and the second position, which enables the first garage door 112 to open and close automatically, thereby improving the intelligence level of the garage 11.

[0064] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first door 112 is provided with a clearance groove 1121, which is used to avoid the track 12.

[0065] The first storage door 112 is provided with a clearance groove 1121. When the first storage door 112 is rotated to the second position to close the receiving cavity 1111, the clearance groove 1121 avoids the track 12, so as to avoid the first storage door 112 from interfering with the track 12 and causing the first storage door 112 to fail to close the receiving cavity 1111.

[0066] Please refer to it again. Figure 3 In some embodiments, when the first door 112 is in the second position, the first door 112 is configured to be tilted relative to the track 12, and in the extending direction of the track 12, the distance between the lower end of the first door 112 and the first wireless charging module 14 is greater than the distance between the upper end of the first door 112 and the first wireless charging module 14.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the first garage door 112 is in the second position to close the receiving cavity 1111, the upper end of the first garage door 112 abuts against the top of the garage 11, and the lower end of the first garage 11 abuts against the bottom of the garage 11. At this time, the first garage door 112 is tilted relative to the track 12, and the distance between the lower end of the first garage door 112 and the first wireless charging module 14 is greater than the distance between the upper end of the first garage door 112 and the first wireless charging module 14, so that the first garage door 112 forms a guiding function to prevent the freight train from hooking onto the garage 11. For example, when the first garage door 112 is in the second position, the freight train moves in the forward direction. After the components such as pipes, cables or chains suspended from the freight train chassis come into contact with the first garage door 112, as the freight train moves in the forward direction, the components suspended from the freight train chassis move along the first garage door 112 to the top of the garage 11. As the freight train continues to move, the components suspended from the freight train chassis leave the top of the garage 11, thereby avoiding hooking onto the garage 11 and causing damage to the garage 11.

[0068] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the garage 11 further includes a second garage door 114 connected to the end of the body 111 away from the first garage door 112. The second garage door 114 is configured to be inclined relative to the track 12, and in the extension direction of the track 12, the distance between the lower end of the second garage door 114 and the first wireless charging module 14 is greater than the distance between the upper end of the second garage door 114 and the first wireless charging module 14.

[0069] In this embodiment, the second garage door 114 is inclined relative to the track 12, and the distance between the lower end of the second garage door 114 and the first wireless charging module 14 is greater than the distance between the upper end of the second garage door 114 and the first wireless charging module 14. This allows the second garage door 114 to also act as a guide, preventing the freight train from hooking onto the garage 11. For example, when the freight train runs in the opposite direction, the pipes, cables, or chains suspended from the freight train chassis move along the second garage door 114 to the top of the garage 11. As the freight train continues to run, the suspended components leave the top of the garage 11, thus preventing them from hooking onto the garage 11 and causing damage.

[0070] Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications can be made thereto and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the technical features mentioned in the various embodiments can be combined in any manner, provided there is no structural conflict. The present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
