Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot lighting technology, specifically a lighting device for a pipeline inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] A pipeline robot is an integrated mechatronics system that can automatically walk along the inside or outside of a narrow pipe, carrying one or more sensors and operating machinery, and performing a series of pipeline operations under the remote control of workers or the automatic control of a computer.

[0003] When using a wheeled drainage pipeline robot, a lighting device is needed to illuminate the pipeline environment to ensure sufficient brightness during inspection. Existing robot lighting devices are mostly mounted on top of the robot and fixedly connected to it. However, during close-range inspections, the horizontal direction of the light reduces the ambient brightness near the robot, hindering observation. Therefore, we propose a lighting device for pipeline inspection robots. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing robots where the illumination direction is always horizontal, resulting in reduced ambient brightness near the robot and hindering observation during inspection, this invention provides a lighting device for a pipeline inspection robot. This device allows for adjustment of the lighting angle and height, improving the practicality of the lighting and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: A lighting device for a pipeline inspection robot includes a mounting base, with support columns vertically connected at the four corners of the top of the mounting base, and a mounting frame slidably connected between the support columns. The two ends of the mounting frame are rotatably connected to the mounting base through a telescopic mechanism. Side plates are symmetrically connected to the top of the mounting frame, and a lighting lamp is connected between the two side plates through a rotating shaft. A drive motor is coaxially connected to the end of one of the rotating shafts, and the drive motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the side plate.

[0006] Optionally, a second opening is provided at both ends of the mounting frame, and a hinge seat is rotatably connected to both ends of the telescopic mechanism. The two hinge seats are respectively connected to the second opening and the top of the mounting seat.

[0007] Optionally, a through groove is provided on one side of the support column, and the end of the mounting frame bends outward and extends into the through groove.

[0008] Optionally, a sliding groove is provided on one side of the through groove, and a sliding block is connected to the end of the mounting frame to slide the sliding block and the sliding groove.

[0009] Optionally, the bottom of the side panel has a first opening, and the width of the first opening is equal to the width of the second opening.

[0010] Optionally, a support is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame, and the thickness of the support and the mounting frame is greater than the height of the hinge seat.

[0011] Optionally, mounting holes are provided at all four corners of the mounting base.

[0012] Optionally, the telescopic mechanism is an electric push rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model can drive the lighting lamp to rotate and adjust along the rotating shaft under the driving action of the drive motor, and under the extension and retraction action of the telescopic mechanism, the lighting lamp can slide up and down between the support columns. It can not only adjust the usage angle of the lighting lamp, but also adjust the usage height of the lighting lamp, which greatly improves the practicality of the lighting lamp. Moreover, the structure is simple and easy for users to install and disassemble. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to its embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a lighting device for a pipeline inspection robot, which, in actual use, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this utility model is installed on the top of the robot, allowing it to move synchronously with the robot's lifting and lowering. Figure 2 As shown, this utility model includes a mounting base 10, with support columns 2 vertically connected to the four corners of the top of the mounting base 10. A mounting frame 12 is slidably connected between the support columns 2. The two ends of the mounting frame 12 are rotatably connected to the mounting base 10 through telescopic mechanisms 7. The two telescopic mechanisms 7 are V-shaped structures with their openings facing downwards. To facilitate the installation of the telescopic mechanisms 7, second openings 15 are opened at both ends of the mounting frame 12. Both ends of the telescopic mechanisms 7 are rotatably connected to hinge seats 9, and the two hinge seats 9 are respectively connected to the second openings 15 and the top of the mounting base 10.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the top of the mounting frame 12 is symmetrically connected with side plates 5. A first opening 14 is provided at the bottom of the side plate 5, and the width of the first opening 14 is equal to the width of the second opening 15. When the side plate 5 is lowered, the hinge seat 9 and the telescopic mechanism 7 can be located in the first opening 14, ensuring the stable lifting and lowering and storage of the mounting frame 12. At the same time, in order to ensure the stable up and down sliding of the mounting frame 12, a through groove 11 is provided on the side close to the support column 2. The end of the mounting frame 12 is bent outward and extends into the through groove 11, and a sliding groove 3 is provided on one side of the through groove 11. A sliding block 6 is connected to the end of the mounting frame 12. The sliding block 6 and the sliding groove 3 are slidably connected, which can further guide the lifting and sliding of the mounting frame 12.

[0023] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a lighting lamp 4 is connected between two side plates 5 via a rotating shaft 13, and a drive motor 1 is coaxially connected to the end of one of the rotating shafts 13. The drive motor 1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the side plate 5. Under the driving action of the drive motor 1, the lighting lamp 4 can be rotated and adjusted along the rotating shaft 13, thereby adjusting the usage angle of the lighting lamp 4. With the cooperation of the telescopic mechanism 7, the lighting lamp 4 can be adjusted to different heights and different angles.

[0024] In summary, the lighting device for this pipeline inspection robot has a support 8 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 12 during use. The thickness of the support 8 and the mounting frame 12 is greater than the height of the hinge seat 9. When the lighting lamp 4 is not in use, the mounting frame 12 is lowered to the top of the mounting seat 10 for storage. At this time, the support 8 abuts against the top of the mounting seat 10, allowing the retractable telescopic mechanism 7 to be located in the space formed by the support 8, the second opening 15, and the first opening 14, which greatly facilitates storage. In actual use, mounting holes 16 are provided at the four corners of the mounting seat 10, and the mounting seat 10 is installed to the top of the robot by bolts and screws. The structure is simple and easy to install and disassemble, which greatly improves the practicality of the device.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
