Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a signal enhancement bracket for a fire-fighting robot. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous upgrading of firefighting equipment, firefighting robots are increasingly being used in firefighting and rescue operations. However, their signal issues have always been a weakness, resulting in a short operational range and limitations in harsh environments such as underground parking lots and tunnels. Against this backdrop, signal enhancement components for firefighting robots have emerged.

[0003] Traditional signal towers are mainly made of iron and cannot be folded for storage. They rely on magnets on the antenna base to attach to the signal tower platform, making them not only cumbersome to move, but also preventing the antenna from changing its orientation or height. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a signal enhancement bracket for fire-fighting robots.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] A signal enhancement bracket for a fire-fighting robot includes a tripod telescopic bracket, a universal joint mounted on the tripod telescopic bracket, an antenna bracket mounted on the universal joint and hinged with three telescopic rods, a signal antenna fixedly mounted on the three telescopic rods of the antenna bracket, and an additional clamp fixedly mounted on the three telescopic rods of the antenna bracket for adding a signal antenna. The additional clamp includes a central connecting frame, a first fixing clamp movably mounted on one end of the central connecting frame, and a second fixing clamp movably mounted on the other end of the central connecting frame and having the same structure as the first fixing clamp.

[0007] Preferably, the central connecting frame includes two symmetrical clamping plates, a clamping plate locking stud that passes through the middle of the side of one clamping plate and connects to the other clamping plate, and arc-shaped grooves opened at both ends of the inner side of the clamping plate.

[0008] Preferably, the first fixing clamp includes a fixed clamping jaw, a clamping jaw assembly steel ball fixedly installed at the end of the fixed clamping jaw facing the central connecting frame, a movable clamping jaw hinged to the fixed clamping jaw, and a clamping jaw locking stud that passes through the middle of the side of the fixed clamping jaw and connects to the movable clamping jaw.

[0009] Preferably, the universal mechanism includes a first universal seat with a tightening bolt that is threadedly assembled with the tripod telescopic bracket, a second universal seat that is threadedly assembled with the antenna bracket and has the same structure as the first universal seat, and a universal support rod with one end embedded in the first universal seat and the other end embedded in the second universal seat.

[0010] Furthermore, a spherical assembly groove is provided on the first universal joint.

[0011] Furthermore, the universal support rod includes a steel rod body and universal steel balls welded to both ends of the steel rod body.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. By installing signal antennas on the three telescopic poles of the antenna bracket and adding additional signal antennas on the same bracket using additional clamps, the number and density of antennas are significantly increased, providing signal redundancy. Even if individual antennas fail due to smoke, obstacles, or malfunctions, other antennas can still maintain the communication link, improving communication reliability in complex fire environments. In addition, by adjusting the angle of the antenna bracket and the added signal antennas, the direction of signal transmission or reception can be optimized to better cover specific areas or avoid strong interference sources.

[0014] 2. The antenna bracket allows for a wide range of angle adjustments via a universal joint mechanism. The design of the universal steel ball and spherical mounting slot in the universal joint mechanism provides smooth multi-degree-of-freedom movement. The locking bolts ensure stability after adjustment. Each additional signal antenna is held by its corresponding additional clamp. The clamping steel ball is embedded in the semi-circular mounting slot of the central connecting frame, allowing the first fixed clamp to rotate independently around the center of the ball. Moreover, rotating the clamp locking stud can easily loosen or tighten the clamp, thereby loosening or fixing the clamping steel ball. This enables rapid adjustment and stable locking of the added antenna angle. Operators can accurately point the signal antenna on the antenna bracket to different relay stations, command centers, or specific areas that need coverage, according to the on-site communication requirements, maximizing signal strength and reliability.

[0015] 3. The telescopic rods of the tripod telescopic bracket and antenna bracket can not only adjust the overall height so that the antenna can be deployed in a more advantageous position, but also facilitate the retraction and storage of the entire fire robot signal enhancement bracket, making it easy to carry. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a signal enhancement bracket for a fire-fighting robot according to the present invention;

[0017] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Structural diagram of the universal joint mechanism;

[0018] Figure 3 for Figure 1 Structural diagram of the additional fixture. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] Example

[0021] A signal enhancement bracket for firefighting robots, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a tripod telescopic bracket 1, a universal joint 2 mounted on the tripod telescopic bracket 1, an antenna bracket 3 mounted on the universal joint 2 and hinged with three telescopic rods, a signal antenna 4 fixedly mounted on the three telescopic rods of the antenna bracket 3, and an additional clamp 5 fixedly mounted on the three telescopic rods of the antenna bracket 3 for adding the signal antenna 4.

[0022] In this embodiment, the telescopic rods of the tripod telescopic bracket 1 and the antenna bracket 3 can not only adjust the overall height, allowing the antenna to be deployed in a more advantageous position, but also facilitate the retraction and storage of the entire fire robot signal enhancement bracket, making it easier to carry.

[0023] The universal mechanism 2 includes a first universal seat 21 with a tightening bolt that is threadedly assembled with the tripod telescopic bracket 1, a second universal seat 22 that is threadedly assembled with the antenna bracket 3 and has the same structure as the first universal seat 21, and a universal support rod 23 with one end embedded in the first universal seat 21 and the other end embedded in the second universal seat 22.

[0024] In this embodiment, a spherical assembly groove 211 is provided on the first universal joint 21.

[0025] The universal support rod 23 includes a steel rod body 231 and universal steel balls 232 welded to both ends of the steel rod body 231. Specifically, the universal steel ball welded to one end of the steel rod body 231 is embedded in the spherical assembly groove opened in the first universal seat 21, and the universal steel ball at the other end is embedded in the spherical assembly groove opened in the second universal seat 22. After adjusting the angle, the angle is fixed by tightening the loosening bolts on the first universal seat 21 and the second universal seat 22, so that the signal antenna 4 installed on the antenna bracket 3 is fixed in direction.

[0026] It should be further explained that the antenna bracket 3 can be adjusted over a wide range of angles through the universal mechanism 2, and the design of the universal steel ball 232 and the spherical assembly groove 211 in the universal mechanism 2 provides smooth multi-degree-of-freedom movement, and the locking bolts ensure the stability after adjustment.

[0027] The additional clamp 5 includes a central connecting frame 51, a first fixing clamp 52 movably installed at one end of the central connecting frame 51, and a second fixing clamp 53 movably installed at the other end of the central connecting frame 51, and having the same structure as the first fixing clamp 52.

[0028] The central connecting frame 51 includes two symmetrical clamping plates 511, a clamping plate locking stud 512 that passes through the middle of the side of one clamping plate and connects to the other clamping plate, and arc-shaped grooves 513 opened at both ends of the inner side of the clamping plate 511. Specifically, the arc-shaped grooves at both ends of the two clamping plates cooperate to form a semi-circular assembly groove.

[0029] The first fixing clamp 52 includes a fixed clamping jaw 521, a clamping jaw assembly steel ball 522 fixedly installed on the end of the fixed clamping jaw 521 facing the central connecting frame 51, a movable clamping jaw 523 hinged to the fixed clamping jaw 521, and a clamping jaw locking stud 524 passing through the middle of the side of the fixed clamping jaw 521 and connecting to the movable clamping jaw 523. Specifically, by rotating the clamping jaw locking stud 524, the opening and closing space between the movable clamping jaw 523 and the fixed clamping jaw 521 can be adjusted, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the added signal antenna 4.

[0030] It should be further explained that the clamping steel ball 522 is embedded in the semi-circular mounting groove formed by the arc-shaped grooves at both ends of the two clamping plates. This not only supports the entire first fixing clamp 52 using the central connecting frame 51, but also facilitates the rotation and angle adjustment of the first fixing clamp 52 within the semi-circular mounting groove via the clamping steel ball 522. That is, after the added signal antenna 4 is clamped by the first fixing clamp 52, it can be adjusted and rotated as needed to adjust the direction of the signal antenna 4. Moreover, by rotating the clamping plate locking stud 512, the two clamping plates can be loosened or tightened, thereby loosening the clamping steel ball 522, allowing the first fixing clamp 52 to rotate and adjust its angle, or to be tightened after the first fixing clamp 52 has rotated and adjusted its angle, thus enhancing the structural stability of the added signal antenna 4.

[0031] Furthermore, although the structure of the second fixing clip 53 is the same as that of the first fixing clip 52, the function of the second fixing clip 53 is to fix it to the three telescopic rods of the antenna bracket 3, so that the added signal antenna is also installed on the antenna bracket 3 and works with the signal antennas on the three telescopic rods to transmit signals. Therefore, structurally speaking, the central connecting frame 51 uses the second fixing clip 53 to rotate and adjust its angle, while the first fixing clip 52 uses the central connecting frame 51 to rotate and adjust its angle, thus realizing multi-directional adjustment of the signal antenna.

[0032] The above embodiments of this utility model are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. The implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto. All other modifications, substitutions or alterations made to the above structure of this utility model based on the above content of this utility model and in accordance with the common technical knowledge and conventional means in the field, without departing from the basic technical idea of ​​this utility model, shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
