Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire extinguishing equipment application technology, specifically a simple fire extinguishing inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid economic development and accelerated urbanization, various buildings, facilities and venues are increasing in number and becoming more complex in function, which also significantly increases fire hazards. Fire accidents not only pose a serious threat to people's lives and property, but also cause huge losses to the social economy. Therefore, in order to reduce the economic losses caused by fires, fire inspection robots are usually used to autonomously perform inspection and fire fighting tasks in complex and dangerous environments.

[0003] However, existing fire-fighting inspection robots have complex structures, making them inconvenient to operate, requiring a large area, and expensive. They are only suitable for specific large venues, limiting their applicability. Furthermore, existing fire-fighting inspection robots have a low degree of automation, often requiring human intervention. This not only consumes a lot of time and manpower but also poses a risk to personnel during a fire. In addition, existing fire-fighting inspection robots cannot accurately target the location of a fire, resulting in poor fire-fighting effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a simple fire extinguishing and inspection robot.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: This utility model provides a simple fire extinguishing and inspection robot, including a moving mechanism, a detection mechanism, a water spraying mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism. The moving mechanism is equipped with a chassis, and a controller is installed at one end of the top of the chassis. The detection mechanism is located at the top end of the chassis away from the controller. A support rod is provided at the bottom of the detection mechanism. A camera is installed at the middle of the top of the support rod. A smoke sensor is installed on the side of the support rod near the camera, and a temperature sensor is installed on the side of the camera away from the smoke sensor. The water spraying mechanism is located on the top of the controller, and the adjustment mechanism is located on the top of the chassis near the water spraying mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, a first motor is installed at one end of the chassis, and drive wheels are connected to the four corners of the chassis via rotating shafts. Both ends of the first motor are movably connected to the drive wheels on both sides of one end of the chassis via rotating shafts.

[0007] Preferably, the water spraying mechanism has a water tank at the bottom, a water inlet on one side of the top of the water tank, a first water pipe in the middle of the water tank, one end of the first water pipe at the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank, and a water pump installed on the first water pipe.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the first water pipe is connected to a second water pipe, and one end of the second water pipe is equipped with a nozzle.

[0009] Preferably, a second motor is installed at the bottom of the adjustment mechanism, and a rotating plate is movably connected to the top of the second motor via a rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, a third motor is installed on the top of the rotating plate, and one end of the third motor is movably connected to a flap via a rotating shaft.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. The images captured by the camera on the detection mechanism are transmitted to the controller. The controller then activates the first motor on the moving mechanism, which drives the drive wheel to rotate. This facilitates the smoke and temperature sensors on the detection mechanism to detect smoke and temperature in different areas, enabling the detection mechanism to perform inspection tasks in different areas. Secondly, the controller enables monitoring and control, allowing operators to promptly grasp the situation on-site and make decisions. Furthermore, this fire-fighting inspection robot has a simple structure, occupies a small area, and is suitable for various scenarios. Real-time inspection of the monitored environment by this robot facilitates timely autonomous firefighting after a fire is detected, effectively ensuring site safety, greatly reducing economic losses, minimizing human intervention, and protecting personal safety. Additionally, the robot's operation is controlled by the controller, increasing the automation level of its fire-fighting inspection work and further improving the efficiency of site fire-fighting inspections.

[0013] 2. The fire location is transmitted to the controller via the detection mechanism. The controller then activates the water pump on the sprinkler system, which delivers water from the tank through the first and second water pipes to one end of the sprinkler head to extinguish the fire. Simultaneously, the controller activates the second motor on the adjustment mechanism, which rotates the rotating plate to adjust the spray direction of the sprinkler head, resulting in a wider range of movement for better fire extinguishing. The controller also activates the third motor, which rotates the tilting plate to adjust the tilt angle of the sprinkler head for precise fire suppression. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model discloses a simple fire-fighting inspection robot, comprising a moving mechanism 1, a detection mechanism 2, a water spraying mechanism 3, and an adjusting mechanism 4. The moving mechanism 1 is mounted on a chassis 101, and a controller 104 (model: KL-N20C, manufacturer: Shanghai Chicheng Automation Equipment Co., Ltd.) is mounted on one end of the top of the chassis 101. The controller 104 is enclosed in a stainless steel box. The detection mechanism 2 is located at the top end of the chassis 101, away from the controller 104. A support rod 201 is mounted at the bottom of the detection mechanism 2, with the top center of the support rod 201... A camera 204 is installed, transmitting the captured images to the controller 104 in real time. The controller 104 uses the feedback from the camera 204 to control the movement of the moving mechanism 1, performing inspection tasks in different areas. A smoke sensor 202 (model: XKCON-GQQ5, manufacturer: Jinan Xiangkong Automation Equipment Co., Ltd.) is installed on the side of the support rod 201 closest to the camera 204, while a temperature sensor 203 (model: TPS180913-21, manufacturer: ...) is installed on the side of the camera 204 furthest from the smoke sensor 202. (Shenzhen Tepusheng Technology Co., Ltd.) The water spray mechanism 3 is located on top of the controller 104. The smoke sensor 202 and temperature sensor 203 are used to monitor the smoke concentration and temperature of the surrounding environment in real time. The controller 104 determines whether a fire has occurred and the location of the fire based on the data transmitted by the detection mechanism 2. The smoke sensor 202, temperature sensor 203 and camera 204 on the detection mechanism 2 are all electrically connected to the controller 104. The adjustment mechanism 4 is located on the top of the chassis 101 near the water spray mechanism 3. The controller 104 includes a microprocessor, a wireless communication module and a power module. The controller 104 controls the movement of the moving mechanism 1, the water spray mechanism 3 and the adjustment mechanism 4 by receiving the data transmitted by the detection mechanism 2. The wireless communication module on the controller 104 is connected to the microprocessor and can transmit the data detected by the smoke sensor 202 and temperature sensor 203 and the images captured by the camera 204 to a remote terminal, and at the same time receive the control commands from the remote terminal. The power module on the controller 104 provides power to the entire robot and uses a rechargeable lithium battery, which has the characteristics of large capacity and long life.

[0023] A first motor 102 is mounted on one end of the chassis 101. The first motor 102 is electrically connected to the controller 104. Drive wheels 103 are connected to each of the four corners of the chassis 101 via shafts. Both ends of the first motor 102 are movably connected to the drive wheels 103 on both sides of one end of the chassis 101 via shafts. The image captured by the camera 204 on the detection mechanism 2 is transmitted to the controller 104. The controller 104 controls the activation of the first motor 102 on the moving mechanism 1. The first motor 102 drives the drive wheels 103 to rotate, facilitating the rotation of the smoke sensor 202 and temperature sensor on the detection mechanism 2. 203 performs smoke and temperature detection in different areas, facilitating inspection tasks for different areas by the inspection agency 2. Secondly, monitoring and control are achieved through controller 104, allowing operators to promptly grasp the on-site situation and make decisions. At the same time, this fire-fighting inspection robot has a simple structure, occupies a small area, and is suitable for use in different scenarios. By conducting real-time inspections of the monitored environment, it is beneficial to carry out autonomous fire-fighting work in a timely manner after discovering a fire. This not only effectively ensures the safety of the site and greatly reduces economic losses, but also reduces human intervention and helps protect personal safety.

[0024] The water spraying mechanism 3 has a water tank 301 at the bottom and a water inlet 302 on one side of the top of the water tank 301. Water is added to the water tank 301 through the water inlet 302. A first water pipe 303 is provided in the middle of the water tank 301. The first water pipe 303 is made of stainless steel. One end of the first water pipe 303 is located at the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank 301. A water pump 304 is installed on the first water pipe 303. The water pump 304 is electrically connected to the controller 104.

[0025] One end of the first water pipe 303 is connected to the second water pipe 305. The second water pipe 305 is made of flexible material, specifically polyethylene. One end of the second water pipe 305 is equipped with a nozzle 306, which atomizes and sprays water. The detection mechanism 2 transmits the detected data to the controller 104. After obtaining the location of the fire, the controller 104 activates the water pump 304 on the sprinkler mechanism 3, allowing the water pump 304 to transport water from the water tank 301 through the first water pipe 303 and the second water pipe 305 to the nozzle 306 to spray water and extinguish the fire.

[0026] A second motor 401 is installed at the bottom of the adjustment mechanism 4. The second motor 401 is electrically connected to the controller 104. A rotating plate 402 is movably connected to the top of the second motor 401 via a rotating shaft. The controller 104 controls the second motor 401 on the adjustment mechanism 4 to start according to the fire position feedback from the detection mechanism 2. The second motor 401 drives the rotating plate 402 to rotate, which facilitates the adjustment of the spray direction of the nozzle 306 on the sprinkler mechanism 3, so that the nozzle 306 has a wider range of movement, which is conducive to the better fire extinguishing effect of the sprinkler mechanism 3.

[0027] A third motor 403 is installed on the top of the rotating plate 402. The third motor 403 is electrically connected to the controller 104. One end of the third motor 403 is movably connected to the flap 404 through a rotating shaft. The controller 104 controls the activation of the third motor 403 based on the fire position feedback from the detection mechanism 2. The third motor 403 drives the flap 404 to rotate, which facilitates the adjustment of the tilt angle of the nozzle 306 and is conducive to precise fire extinguishing in the fire area.

[0028] When in use, the robot is first placed in the area to be inspected. After the robot is started, the smoke sensor 202 and temperature sensor 203 in the detection mechanism 2 monitor the smoke concentration and temperature of the surrounding environment in real time. The camera 204 takes pictures and transmits the captured images to the controller 104 in real time. The controller 104 determines whether a fire has occurred based on the data transmitted by the detection mechanism 2. When the smoke concentration or temperature exceeds the set threshold, the controller 104 determines that a fire has occurred. The controller 104 immediately controls the first motor 102 of the moving mechanism 1 to drive the drive wheel 103, so that the robot moves to the location of the fire.

[0029] Then, the controller 104 controls the water pump 304 on the water spray mechanism 3 to start, and transports the water in the water tank 301 to the nozzle 306 through the first water pipe 303 and the second water pipe 305. The nozzle 306 atomizes the water and sprays it out to extinguish the fire.

[0030] Finally, during the fire extinguishing process, the controller 104 can control the activation of the second motor 401 and the third motor 403 on the adjustment mechanism 4 based on the image captured by the camera 204, and adjust the direction and angle of the nozzle 306 so that the water can be accurately sprayed towards the fire source.
