Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] See Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a robotic oil-collecting device, including a robotic arm 1 and an oil-collecting component 2. The end of the robotic arm 1 is connected to the oil-collecting component 2 to control the oil-collecting component 2 to connect to the oil outlet at the oil collection point. The oil-collecting component 2 includes a housing 21, a robotic arm connector 22, a machine vision device 23, and an oil receiving pipe 24. The robotic arm connector 22 is installed outside the housing 21, and the machine vision device 23 and the oil receiving pipe 24 are installed inside the housing 21. The machine vision device 23 is used to locate the oil outlet at the oil collection point. The inlet end of the oil receiving pipe 24 extends out of the housing 21 to connect to the oil outlet at the oil collection point.
[0038] For example, the robotic arm 1 is a six-axis robotic arm 1.
[0039] The machine vision device 23 converts the target being photographed into an image signal, transmits it to the image processing system, and then the system analyzes and processes the image, finally outputting the result and guiding the movement of the robotic arm 1. For example, the machine vision device 23 includes an optical imaging system, an image acquisition and transmission module, an image processing and analysis system, a stage, a motion control module, etc.
[0040] For example, the oil inlet fitting 24 is used to pass oil from the oil outlet at the oil sampling point for subsequent testing.
[0041] For example, the oil extraction point is at the transformer of the substation.
[0042] See Figure 3 In the specific implementation process, the oil sampling component 2 also includes a driving component 25, which is installed inside the housing 21 and controls the opening and closing of the oil outlet at the oil sampling point.
[0043] For example, the drive component 25 is a valve motor, which controls the opening and closing of the oil outlet at the oil intake point by rotating the valve motor in both directions.
[0044] Furthermore, the output end of the drive component 25 is connected to a coupling 26. For example, one end of the coupling 26 is connected to the output shaft of the valve motor, and the other end of the coupling 26 is connected to the valve at the oil outlet at the oil intake point. By rotating the valve motor in both directions, the coupling 26 is driven to rotate in both directions, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the valve.
[0045] See Figures 2-3 In its specific implementation, the oil sampling assembly 2 further includes a calibration device 27, which is installed inside the housing 21. The oil receiving pipe 24 is mounted on the calibration device 27, and the position of the oil receiving pipe 24 is calibrated by the calibration device 27. That is, after the oil sampling assembly 2 is initially positioned by the machine vision device 23, the calibration device 27 compensates for and corrects the positional deviation of the oil receiving pipe 24, so that the oil receiving pipe 24 is inserted into the oil outlet.
[0046] See Figures 2-3 In the specific implementation process, the calibration device 27 includes a floating mechanism 271 and a calibration connector 272; one end of the floating mechanism 271 is fixed to the inner side wall of the housing 21, and the other end of the floating mechanism 271 is connected to the oil receiving pipe 24 through the calibration connector 272, and the position of the oil receiving pipe 24 is calibrated by the floating mechanism 271; the machine vision device 23, the oil receiving pipe 24, and the floating mechanism 271 are arranged from top to bottom inside the housing 21.
[0047] For example, the floating mechanism 271 is an elastic floating mechanism 271, which can achieve flexible displacement or angle compensation within a certain range.
[0048] See Figures 2-3 In the specific implementation process, the calibration device 27 further includes a first proximity switch 273 and a second proximity switch 274; the first proximity switch 273 and the second proximity switch 274 are installed on the same end of the calibration connector 272, and the first proximity switch 273 is located on the side near the oil outlet end at the oil sampling point.
[0049] It should be noted that the first proximity switch 273 is used to determine whether the oil inlet fitting 24 is fully inserted into the oil outlet end, and the second proximity switch 274 is used to identify the on / off state of the oil outlet valve. For example, the first proximity switch 273 is an access switch, and the second proximity switch 274 is a valve switch.
[0050] See Figure 3Furthermore, the calibration device 27 also includes a mounting plate 275, through which the first proximity switch 273 and the second proximity switch 274 are fixed to the calibration connector 272. It should be noted that the mounting plate 275 has mounting holes, with each of the first proximity switch 273 and the second proximity switch 274 corresponding to a mounting hole, allowing the first proximity switch 273 and the second proximity switch 274 to pass through their respective mounting holes (not shown in the figure); for example, the two mounting holes are parallel.
[0051] See Figure 3 In the specific implementation process, the calibration connector 272 includes a type 7 connector 272a and an L-shaped connector 272b; the vertical side of the type 7 connector 272a is connected to the floating mechanism 271, and the horizontal side of the type 7 connector 272a is connected to the horizontal side of the L-shaped connector 272b; a connecting member 372c is provided on the inner side of the vertical side of the L-shaped connector 272b, and the connecting member 372c has an oil passage hole (not labeled in the figure), and the oil passage hole is coaxial with the through hole on the vertical side of the L-shaped connector 272b; the oil receiving pipe 24 is installed on the connecting member 372c.
[0052] For example, the first proximity switch 273 and the second proximity switch 274 are both installed on the inner side of the vertical side of the type 7 connecting plate 272a and are opposite to the floating mechanism 271. That is, the position of the first proximity switch 273 and the second proximity switch 274 can be controlled by the floating mechanism 271.
[0053] For example, the type 7 connecting plate 272a and the type L connecting plate 272B, the type 7 connecting plate 272a and the floating mechanism 271, the floating mechanism 271 and the housing 21, and the type L connecting plate 272B and the oil receiving pipe 24 are all fixed by screws.
[0054] See him Figure 2 , Figure 3 Furthermore, the oil receiving fitting 24 includes a floating guide sleeve 241 and an oil pipe connector 242; the floating guide sleeve 241 and the oil pipe connector 242 are respectively installed at both ends of the connecting member 372c, and the floating guide sleeve 241 and the connecting member 372c are coaxially arranged, and the oil at the oil outlet end of the oil sampling point is sequentially introduced into the connecting member 372c and the oil pipe connector 242 through the floating guide sleeve 241.
[0055] It should be noted that the oil outlet of the oil pipe joint 242 is connected to the oil inlet of the outer oil storage container through a pipe.
[0056] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0057] 1. Activate the robotic arm 1 and move it to the photography location (i.e., the oil outlet of the transformer station). Use the machine vision device 23 to perform 3D visual positioning of the insertion point of the oil receiving pipe 24.
[0058] 2. The floating guide sleeve 241 is inserted into the valve at the oil outlet end, and the floating mechanism 271 is used to supplement and correct the positional deviation to achieve precise docking between the floating guide sleeve 241 and the oil outlet end; at this time, the first proximity switch 273 determines that the floating guide sleeve 241 is fully connected to the oil outlet end; if the docking is completed, the robotic arm 1 stops working.
[0059] 3. Turn on the drive unit 25, and drive the valve at the oil outlet to open through the coupling 26. At the same time, the valve is fully opened through the second proximity switch 274, that is, the oil circuit connection is established. At this time, oil can be drawn from the oil outlet to the oil storage unit of this utility model.
[0060] 4. After the oil extraction is completed, the coupling 26 rotates in the opposite direction to close the valve at the oil extraction port. The second proximity switch 274 detects that the valve is completely closed. Then, the robotic arm 1 guides the oil extraction component 2 to exit and return to the photo taking point before retracting the robotic arm 1.
[0061] This utility model of a robotic oil-collecting device can automatically collect oil, is simple to operate, and avoids problems such as oil sample contamination and easy mixing of air bubbles caused by manual tube-pulling oil collection. It facilitates subsequent oil sample testing and improves the accuracy of oil sample testing. In addition, the device also improves work efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of workers.
