Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of inspection robots, and in particular to intelligent inspection robots. Background Technology

[0002] Inspection robots in smart construction have been widely used in building construction and maintenance. By integrating sensors, cameras, navigation systems and data processing technologies, they have achieved autonomous inspection and monitoring.

[0003] Traditional aerial intelligent inspection robots have relatively simple outrigger designs, primarily functioning only as supports. This limits their performance in complex environments. In particular, when the robot lands vertically on a flat, hard surface, the bottom of the outriggers directly bears the impact force from the vertical direction, which may cause damage or breakage. When the robot lands on uneven or sloping ground, or if a malfunction causes a tilted landing, the bottom of multiple outriggers will face impact forces in the tilt direction, increasing the risk of damage to the outriggers.

[0004] In summary, the existing aerial intelligent inspection robot's outrigger design has significant limitations and cannot effectively cope with complex environments and different landing impacts. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to address the limitations of current intelligent inspection robots due to their inherent design characteristics, the inventors have found that the outrigger design of existing aerial intelligent inspection robots has significant limitations and cannot effectively cope with complex environments and different landing impacts. Therefore, this application provides an intelligent inspection robot.

[0006] The intelligent inspection robot provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: it includes a robot body and a buffer support body disposed on the lower end face of the robot body;

[0007] The buffer support body includes a mounting base, mounting holes respectively disposed at the four corners of the mounting base, a floating body disposed at the center of the lower end face of the mounting base, a floating connector disposed between the floating body and the mounting base, legs evenly disposed on the end of the floating body away from the end connected to the mounting base, and a connecting portion disposed on each leg relative to the end of the mounting base.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the robot moves or stops on uneven ground, the floating body and floating connector can effectively absorb and disperse the impact and vibration brought by the ground, reduce the impact force on the robot body and mounting base, thereby protecting the robot from damage due to stress concentration and improving its stability and service life.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting hole is connected to the robot body by a fixing screw, which passes through the mounting hole and is connected to the robot body.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, after the mounting hole and the robot body are aligned, the fixing screw is inserted into the mounting hole and screwed into the threaded hole of the robot body. The spiral force makes the two tightly connected, thereby achieving precise and stable positioning and connection, effectively improving the assembly efficiency between the robot body and the buffer support body and the stability of the overall structure.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting part is connected to the floating body by a threaded structure, and the connecting part is provided with connecting threads on its outer periphery.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting part connects the support leg to the floating body, ensuring that the support leg can move freely relative to the mounting base due to the floating body. The connecting threads on the outer periphery of the connecting part allow for a tight connection between the support leg and the floating body, while also allowing the support leg to swing or rotate relative to the mounting base within a certain range. The design of the floating body enables it to work with the mounting base to support the load and allows the support leg to move freely relative to the mounting base under the action of the floating body, thereby improving the flexibility and stability of the structure.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the floating connector includes a floating spherical surface fixedly disposed at one end of the floating body relative to the mounting base, a spherical groove disposed on the mounting base and adapted to the floating spherical surface, a sliding screw that passes through the spherical groove and is fixedly connected to the floating body, a limiting post disposed at the end of the sliding screw away from the end connected to the floating body, a buffer spring disposed on the outer periphery of the end of the sliding screw away from the end connected to the floating body, and a stepped slide groove disposed on the robot body and adapted to the sliding screw.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a floating sphere is fixedly installed at one end of the floating body to provide a contact surface between the floating connector and the mounting base; a spherical groove is installed on the mounting base, adapted to the floating sphere, to provide space for the movement of the floating body; a sliding screw passes through the latter two to connect the floating body and the mounting base, limiting the movement range of the floating body; a limiting post is installed at the end of the sliding screw away from the floating body to limit the movement distance of the floating body; a buffer spring is installed on the outer periphery of the sliding screw to absorb and disperse the impact force from the ground; a stepped slide is installed on the robot body, adapted to the sliding screw, to guide the movement of the sliding screw.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the spherical groove is set with the same curvature as the floating sphere, and the inner wall of the spherical groove is set as a smooth arc surface.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the floating body can flexibly swing within the spherical groove through spherical contact, thereby reducing the impact force transmitted from the legs to the mounting base. Specifically, the design of the spherical groove provides a smooth, arc-shaped inner wall, ensuring unobstructed movement of the floating body on the spherical surface. The floating spherical surface adaptively matches the curvature of the spherical groove, allowing a stable contact surface to be formed between the two, thus enabling reliable floating of the floating body.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the sliding screw is slidably connected to the mounting base, and the mounting base is provided with a sliding hole adapted to the sliding screw, the inner wall of the sliding hole being a smooth arc surface.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding screw achieves a sliding connection through a sliding hole on the mounting base. The inner wall of the sliding hole is designed as a smooth arc surface, allowing the sliding screw to move smoothly and stably. The mounting base is fixed to the robot body, providing support and guidance for the sliding screw. Simultaneously, the robot body is equipped with a stepped groove adapted to the sliding screw, used to guide the precise movement of the sliding screw and ensure that it slides along a predetermined path without deviating. The sliding screw drives the floating body to oscillate around the sliding hole.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the sliding screw passes through the sliding hole and is connected to the floating body through a threaded structure, and the sliding screw has a fixed thread on the outer periphery of one end relative to the floating body.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the floating body achieves flexible positioning and adjustment functions through its threaded connection with the sliding screw. The fixed thread on the sliding screw at the end opposite the floating body provides additional positioning and locking functions, ensuring a stable position after adjustment.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the system also includes a buffer washer fixedly disposed at the upper end of the sliding hole, with one end of the buffer spring fixedly connected to the buffer washer and the other end of the buffer spring fixedly connected to the limiting post.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the buffer washer is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sliding hole to absorb and disperse the impact force of the buffer spring on the surface of the mounting base, reducing wear and impact caused by direct contact; one end of the buffer spring is fixedly connected to the buffer washer, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting column head. Through compression and extension, it provides elastic support and shock absorption for the components during equipment operation, effectively reducing the impact of mechanical vibration on the equipment and protecting the surface of the mounting base from damage.

[0023] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The mounting base is fixed to the lower end face of the robot body, providing a mounting foundation for other components; the mounting holes are used to fix the mounting position of the buffer support body;

[0025] 2. The floating body is located at the lower center of the mounting base and can move freely relative to the mounting base; the floating connector connects the floating body to the mounting base, effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration and impact forces, reducing the pressure on the mounting base and the robot body;

[0026] 3. The outriggers are evenly distributed at the end of the floating body furthest from the mounting base, directly contacting the ground to bear and transmit forces from the ground; the connecting part connects the outriggers to the floating body, ensuring that the outriggers can move freely relative to the mounting base due to the floating body.

[0033] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Please refer to details. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This application discloses an intelligent inspection robot. It includes a robot body 1 and a buffer support body 100 disposed on the lower end face of the robot body 1.

[0035] Please refer to details. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The buffer support body 100 includes a mounting base 2, mounting holes 21 respectively disposed at the four corners of the mounting base 2, a floating body 3 disposed at the middle of the lower end face of the mounting base 2, a floating connector disposed between the floating body 3 and the mounting base 2, support legs 4 evenly disposed at the end of the floating body 3 away from the end connected to the mounting base 2, and a connecting part 41 disposed at one end of each support leg 4 relative to the mounting base 2. In this utility model, when the robot moves or stops on uneven ground, the floating body 3 and the floating connector can effectively absorb and disperse the impact and vibration brought by the ground, reduce the impact force on the robot body 1 and the mounting base 2, thereby protecting the robot from damage due to stress concentration and improving its stability and service life.

[0036] Please refer to details. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mounting hole 21 is connected to the robot body 1 by a fixing screw. The fixing screw passes through the mounting hole 21 and connects to the robot body 1. When the mounting hole 21 and the robot body 1 are aligned, the fixing screw is inserted into the mounting hole 21 and screwed into the threaded hole of the robot body 1. The screw force makes the two tightly connected, thereby achieving precise and stable positioning and connection, effectively improving the assembly efficiency between the robot body 1 and the buffer support body 100 and the stability of the overall structure.

[0037] Please refer to details. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting part 41 is connected to the floating body 3 via a threaded structure. The connecting part 41 has connecting threads on its outer periphery. The connecting part 41 connects the support leg 4 to the floating body 3, ensuring that the support leg 4 can move freely relative to the mounting base 2 due to the floating body 3. The connecting threads on the outer periphery of the connecting part 41 allow for a secure connection between the support leg 4 and the floating body 3, while also allowing the support leg 4 to swing or rotate relative to the mounting base 2 within a certain range. The design of the floating body 3 allows it to work with the mounting base 2 to support the load and allows the support leg 4 to move freely relative to the mounting base 2 under the action of the floating body 3, thereby improving the flexibility and stability of the structure.

[0038] Please refer to details. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5Specifically, the floating connector includes a floating spherical surface 31 fixedly disposed at one end of the floating body 3 relative to the mounting base 2, a spherical groove 22 disposed on the mounting base 2 and adapted to the floating spherical surface 31, a sliding screw 5 passing through the spherical groove 22 and fixedly connected to the floating body 3, a limiting post 51 disposed at the end of the sliding screw 5 away from the end connected to the floating body 3, a buffer spring 6 disposed on the outer periphery of the end of the sliding screw 5 away from the end connected to the floating body 3, and a stepped slide groove disposed on the robot body 1 and adapted to the sliding screw 5. The floating spherical surface 31 is fixedly disposed at one end of the floating body 3 to provide buoyancy. The contact surface between the moving connector and the mounting base 2; the spherical groove 22 is provided on the mounting base 2 and is adapted to the floating spherical surface 31 to provide space for the movement of the floating body 3; the sliding screw 5 passes through the latter two to connect the floating body 3 and the mounting base 2, limiting the movement range of the floating body 3; the limiting pin 51 is provided at the end of the sliding screw 5 away from the floating body 3 to limit the movement distance of the floating body 3; the buffer spring 6 is provided on the outer periphery of the sliding screw 5 to absorb and disperse the impact force from the ground; the stepped slide is provided on the robot body 1 and is adapted to the sliding screw 5 to guide the movement of the sliding screw 5. The working principle is as follows: When the robot moves or stops on uneven ground, the floating body 3 adapts to the unevenness of the ground by rotating between the floating spherical surface 31 and the spherical groove 22. The resulting impact force is transmitted to the buffer spring 6 through the sliding screw 5, and the buffer spring 6 can effectively absorb and disperse these impact forces, protecting the robot body 1 and the mounting base 2 from direct impact, thereby improving the stability of the robot and extending its service life.

[0039] Please refer to details. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The spherical groove 22 and the floating spherical surface 31 have the same curvature, and the inner wall of the spherical groove 22 is a smooth arc surface. This allows the floating body 3 to swing flexibly within the spherical groove 22 through spherical contact, thereby reducing the impact force transmitted from the support leg 4 to the mounting base 2. Specifically, the design of the spherical groove 22 provides a smooth arc-shaped inner wall, ensuring unobstructed movement of the floating body 3 on the spherical surface. The floating spherical surface 31 adaptably achieves the same curvature as the spherical groove 22, enabling a stable contact surface between the two, thus achieving reliable floating of the floating body 3. In terms of working principle, when the support leg 4 is subjected to external force, the floating body 3 on the mounting base 2 can swing freely through the cooperation of the spherical groove 22 and the floating spherical surface 31, thereby avoiding the transmission of direct impact force, ultimately reducing damage to the mounting base 2, and improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0040] Please refer to details. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The sliding screw 5 is slidably connected to the mounting base 2, and the mounting base 2 is provided with a sliding hole adapted to the sliding screw 5. The inner wall of the sliding hole is set as a smooth arc surface. The sliding screw 5 achieves slidable connection through the sliding hole on the mounting base 2. The smooth arc surface of the inner wall of the sliding hole allows the sliding screw 5 to move smoothly and stably. The mounting base 2 is fixed on the robot body 1, providing support and guidance for the sliding screw 5. At the same time, the robot body 1 is provided with a stepped slide groove adapted to the sliding screw 5 to guide the precise movement of the sliding screw 5, ensuring that it slides on the predetermined path without deviating. The sliding screw 5 drives the floating body 3 to swing around the sliding hole as the center.

[0041] Please refer to details. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sliding screw 5 passes through the sliding hole and is connected to the floating body 3 via a threaded structure. The sliding screw 5 has a fixed thread on its outer circumference at one end relative to the floating body 3. The floating body 3 is connected to the sliding screw 5 via this threaded structure, enabling flexible positioning and adjustment. The fixed thread on the sliding screw 5 at the end relative to the floating body 3 provides additional positioning and locking functions, ensuring a stable position after adjustment.

[0042] Please refer to details. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 To avoid the impact of the buffer spring 6 on the surface of the mounting base 2, a buffer washer 7 is also included, which is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sliding hole. One end of the buffer spring 6 is fixedly connected to the buffer washer 7, and the other end of the buffer spring 6 is fixedly connected to the limiting column head 51. The buffer washer 7 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sliding hole to absorb and disperse the impact of the buffer spring 6 on the surface of the mounting base 2, reducing wear and impact caused by direct contact. One end of the buffer spring 6 is fixedly connected to the buffer washer 7, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting column head 51. Through compression and extension, it provides elastic support and shock absorption for the components during equipment operation, effectively reducing the impact of mechanical vibration on the equipment and protecting the surface of the mounting base 2 from damage. During operation, when the equipment is subjected to impact or vibration, the buffer spring 6 is compressed to absorb energy, the buffer washer 7 further disperses the impact force, and the limiting column head 51 ensures the stability of the spring during compression and extension.

[0043] The implementation principle of the intelligent inspection robot in this application embodiment is as follows: When the robot moves or stops on uneven ground, the floating body 3 adapts to the unevenness of the ground by rotating between the floating spherical surface 31 and the spherical groove 22. The resulting impact force is transmitted to the buffer spring 6 through the sliding screw 5. The buffer spring 6 can effectively absorb and disperse these impact forces, protecting the robot body 1 and the mounting base 2 from direct impact, thereby improving the stability of the robot and extending its service life.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
