[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides a disaster sweeping vehicle.

[0030] A disaster cleanup vehicle includes a frame 1 and a cleaning module 2. Walking modules 3 are located at the bottom of both sides of the frame 1. An equipment platform 4 is located in the middle of the frame 1. A storage box 5 and a garbage bin 6 are located on the top of the equipment platform 4. The cleaning module 2 includes two connecting arms 7 and two disc brush devices 8. The connecting arms 7 are located on both sides of the front end of the frame 1, and the disc brush devices 8 are located at the front end of the connecting arms 7. A first vacuum cleaner 9 is located at the bottom front end of the frame 1 and is connected to the storage box 5. A robotic arm 10 is located on the outer side of the frame 1. A robotic claw module 11 is located at the output end of the robotic arm 10. A camera 12 is located at the front end of the frame 1. The robotic arm 10 is used to drive the robotic claw module 11 to put the collected garbage into the garbage bin 6.

[0031] This utility model integrates cleaning, vacuuming, and garbage grabbing into one unit, adapting to the complex and diverse types of garbage and environments after disasters, significantly improving the efficiency of post-disaster cleanup. With the robotic arm 10 and robotic claw module 11, large or hazardous garbage can be remotely picked up and disposed of, reducing manual labor and labor intensity. In dangerous areas with risks of collapse or toxic substance leaks, the sweeper can replace manual labor, effectively avoiding casualties and improving the safety of post-disaster cleanup. The front end of the frame 1 is equipped with a connecting arm 7 and a disc brush device 8, which can sweep dust over a large area, causing dust to accumulate in the center. Combined with the first vacuum cleaner 9, it can effectively clean up scattered garbage and dust on the ground. A camera 12 is installed at the front end, allowing operators to observe the working environment in real time and achieve remote control, suitable for complex terrain or disaster areas with obstructed visibility.

[0032] In this embodiment, the trash can 6 is in a fixed position, and the movement of the robotic arm 10 is identical for each iteration. The operator confirms the location of the trash via the camera 12. The vehicle moves to a position where the robotic arm 10 can extend to pick up the trash, and the robotic claw module 11 grabs the target trash and places it into the trash can 6. Besides remotely controlling the robotic arm 10 to grab trash, in some embodiments, the robotic arm 10 is positioned on the side of the vehicle frame 1, and the camera 12 is fixed in position. The operator can determine the location of the trash from the video image fed back by the camera 12. By pre-setting the vehicle's path for grabbing trash, the operator can issue commands, and the vehicle moves along the preset path, with the side-mounted robotic arm 10 directly performing the action of grabbing trash. It is understood that since the location of the trash can be determined through the video image fed back by the camera 12, i.e., the positional relationship between the robotic arm 10 and the vehicle and the target trash is determined, the vehicle path and the action of the robotic arm 10 in grabbing trash can both be achieved through simple planning and control. This is a conventional technical means for those skilled in the art and is not an inventive point of this embodiment, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0033] In this embodiment, a disaster cleanup vehicle has a second vacuum cleaner 13 installed at the bottom center of the vehicle frame 1. Specifically, adding the second vacuum cleaner 13 can improve the cleaning ability of fine particles and dust on the ground, enhance the overall cleaning effect, and avoid secondary dust pollution.

[0034] This embodiment of a disaster cleanup vehicle includes a solar photovoltaic panel 14 and a lithium battery 15. Both the solar photovoltaic panel 14 and the lithium battery 15 are mounted on the equipment platform 4. The solar photovoltaic panel 14 is electrically connected to the lithium battery 15, and the lithium battery 15 is electrically connected to the disc brush device 8, the first vacuum cleaner 9, the mechanical claw module 11, and the camera 12. Specifically, the vehicle utilizes a solar power system to achieve clean energy operation, extending its runtime and reducing energy consumption, making it suitable for long-term, long-distance post-disaster operations.

[0035] The disaster cleanup vehicle described in this embodiment includes a garbage compression module 16 installed inside the garbage bin 6. Specifically, the garbage compression module 16 can effectively compress the collected garbage, facilitating garbage transfer and improving work efficiency.

[0036] The disaster sweeping vehicle described in this embodiment includes a garbage compression module 16 comprising a cover plate 17, a compression plate 18, and a lifting drive mechanism 19. One side of the cover plate 17 is rotatably connected to one side of the top of the garbage bin 6. A groove 20 is provided on the other side of the top of the garbage bin 6. A baffle 21 is movably provided on the top of the groove 20. A protrusion 22 is provided on the other side of the cover plate 17. The protrusion 22 extends into the groove 20. The baffle 21 is located on the top of the protrusion 22. The output end of the lifting drive mechanism 19 is connected to the compression plate 18. Specifically, when the disaster sweeper is working, the cover plate 17 is in the open state and the compression plate 18 is at the bottom. After the garbage is collected, the cover plate 17 is closed manually. After the protrusion 22 extends into the groove 20, the baffle 21 extends to the top of the protrusion 22 to prevent the cover plate 17 from opening. The lifting drive mechanism 19 drives the compression plate 18 to move upward. The garbage is compressed between the compression plate 18 and the cover plate 17. The above settings can realize the compression of garbage. The compressed garbage is convenient for packaging and transfer.

[0037] This embodiment of a disaster cleanup vehicle includes a lifting drive mechanism 19 comprising a first drive motor 23, a gear 24, and a rack 25. The first drive motor 23 is located on the outside of the garbage bin 6, and an elongated groove 26 is provided along the edge of the garbage bin 6. The rack 25 is located within the elongated groove 26. The output end of the first drive motor 23 is connected to the gear 24, and the lower end of the rack 25 is connected to the edge of the compression plate 18. The gear 24 meshes with the upper end of the rack 25. A baffle 27 is provided on the inner wall of the garbage bin 6, located at the upper end of the elongated groove 26. Specifically, the precise lifting control of the compression plate 18 is achieved through gear and rack transmission, resulting in a compact structure, stable operation, and improved compression efficiency and equipment stability. The baffle 27 on the inner wall of the garbage bin 6 prevents garbage from leaking out from the upper end of the elongated groove 26. It is understood that the rack 25 is located outside the baffle 27, and the baffle 27 will not interfere with the rack 25.

[0038] In this embodiment of the disaster cleanup vehicle, a guide rod 28 is provided at the bottom of the baffle 27, and a guide block 29 is provided at the edge of the compression plate 18. The guide rod 28 is movably inserted through the guide block 29. Specifically, the guide structure ensures that the compression plate 18 maintains vertical movement during lifting and lowering, avoiding deviation or jamming, and further improving the stability and reliability of the compression action.

[0039] This embodiment describes a disaster cleanup vehicle. The equipment platform 4 is equipped with a rotary drive motor 30, and the output end of the rotary drive motor 30 is equipped with a rotating platform 31. Multiple garbage bins 6 are provided, all mounted on the rotating platform 31. Specifically, the multiple garbage bins 6 working in conjunction with the rotating platform 31 enable classified collection and rapid replacement, improving garbage disposal efficiency. Furthermore, by adding a garbage identification function, it can adapt to the sorting needs of different types of garbage.

[0040] The disaster cleanup vehicle described in this embodiment includes a walking module 3 comprising two rear track modules 32 and two front track modules 33. The two rear track modules 32 are located on both sides of the rear end of the vehicle frame 1, and the two front track modules 33 are located on both sides of the front end of the vehicle frame 1. Specifically, the four-track structure enhances the vehicle's obstacle-crossing ability and terrain adaptability, making it suitable for flexible movement in disaster areas with complex, muddy, or uneven terrain.

[0041] The disaster cleanup vehicle described in this embodiment has two second drive motors 34 mounted on the front sides of the frame 1. The outputs of the two second drive motors 34 are respectively connected to the front track modules 33. A third drive motor 35 and a reduction gearbox 36 are mounted in the middle of the frame 1. The output of the third drive motor 35 is connected to the input of the reduction gearbox 36, and the output of the reduction gearbox 36 is connected to the two rear track modules 32. Specifically, the two second drive motors 34 drive the two front track modules 33 respectively, enabling them to steer. Combined with the third drive motor 35 and reduction gearbox 36 of the rear track modules 32 to adjust the power output, efficient and precise movement control is achieved, improving vehicle mobility and hill-climbing and obstacle-crossing capabilities. Understandably, the front track module 33 uses triangular tracks, which can be raised sequentially to easily cross obstacles. Triangular tracks also have high stability, and the low center of gravity and wide track design reduce the risk of rollover. In addition, the large contact area makes them suitable for slippery environments such as snow and mud. The walking track wheels use long tracks to distribute pressure, which is suitable for soft ground and reduces sinking. At the same time, the large contact area with the ground makes it more stable when passing through obstacles.

[0042] It is understood that the robotic arm 10 and the robotic gripper module 11 in this technical solution adopt existing technology. The structural settings and control methods of the robotic arm 10 and the robotic gripper are common knowledge to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
