Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotics technology, specifically to an inspection robot that facilitates the disassembly of camera modules. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of industrial inspection, mobile robots are gradually replacing manual labor in tasks such as equipment monitoring and environmental perception due to their efficiency and safety. However, existing inspection robots still have many limitations in structural design: on the one hand, traditional robot mounting bases often rely on single bolts or simple snap-fit connections, which can easily lead to loosening of components due to long-term vibration, and the disassembly and assembly process requires specialized tools, resulting in low maintenance efficiency; on the other hand, the protection and adjustment mechanisms of camera components are relatively rigid, lacking buffering and shock absorption functions, making it difficult to adapt to vibration and impact under complex working conditions, and the camera fixing structure is complex, with manual disassembly and assembly being time-consuming and laborious, affecting the equipment's rapid response capability. In addition, the movement and steering mechanisms of existing robot base plates are mostly designed independently, requiring step-by-step operation for horizontal rotation and vertical lifting, resulting in insufficient accuracy in scanning angle adjustment and failing to meet the needs of high-precision dynamic monitoring.
[0003] To address these issues, industry-wide improvements often focus on optimizing individual modules, such as using electric actuators for lifting or adding rubber pads to mitigate vibration, but fail to achieve a systematic and collaborative design. For instance, some patents achieve horizontal rotation of the base plate by adding hydraulic rods, but the connection structure between the drive frame and the base plate lacks a rotation fulcrum, making it prone to axial displacement over long-term use. Another solution attempts to embed springs in the camera bracket for elastic clamping, but lacks an anti-accidental contact structure, potentially causing the camera to fall off unexpectedly upon impact. More critically, existing designs generally neglect the need for rapid positioning and dual locking of the mounting base, leading to decreased reliability of the equipment in harsh environments such as dust and humidity.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an inspection robot that facilitates the disassembly of camera modules. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-6As shown, an inspection robot for easy disassembly of camera modules includes a robot base plate 100, a mounting base 200, a rotating seat 400, a movable plate 500, and a camera body 600. Movable wheels 101 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the robot base plate 100. A groove 102 is formed at one end of the robot base plate 100. The mounting base 200 is disposed on the upper surface of the robot base plate 100. A bottom block 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting base 200, and the bottom block 202 is located inside the groove 102. The rotating seat 400 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the mounting base 200. Vertical rods 402 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the rotating seat 400. A top plate 403 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical rods 402. The movable plate 500 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the vertical rods 402. C-shaped plates 501 are fixedly connected to both sides of one side surface of the movable plate 500. The camera body 600 is located between two C-shaped plates 501. The robot base plate 100 can move flexibly through the four corner wheels 101; the groove 102 and the base block 202 form a fitting structure to enhance the connection stability of the mounting base 200.
[0035] In a further preferred embodiment, a rubber plate 700 is provided on the inner side of the C-shaped plate 501. One side surface of the rubber plate 700 is in contact with the side of the camera body 600, and a first insertion rod 701 is fixedly connected to the other side surface of the rubber plate 700. The first insertion rod 701 is slidably inserted into the side wall of the C-shaped plate 501. The rubber plate 700 inside the C-shaped plate 501 protects the surface of the camera body 600 through its buffering and shock-absorbing properties. The first insertion rod 701 and the limiting head 702 form an elastic clamping mechanism, enabling quick assembly and disassembly of the camera body 600.
[0036] In a further preferred embodiment, one end of the insertion rod 701 is fixedly connected to a limiting head 702, and a spring 703 is movably sleeved on the surface of the insertion rod 701. One end of the spring 703 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the C-shaped plate 501, and the other end of the spring 703 is fixedly connected to the limiting head 702. The spring 703, sleeved on the outside of the insertion rod 701, provides continuous clamping force to ensure the stability of the camera body 600; the limiting head 702 restricts the displacement direction of the spring 703 to prevent the elastic element from falling off.
[0037] In a further preferred embodiment, the C-shaped plate 501 has a sliding groove 502 on its side. A sliding strip 800 is slidably engaged inside the sliding groove 502. One end of the sliding strip 800 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 802. A second insert rod 803 is slidably inserted into the end of the rotating rod 802. One end of the second insert rod 803 is fixedly connected to a stop strip 805. The inner wall of the stop strip 805 abuts against the edge of one side surface of the camera body 600. The sliding groove 502 and the sliding strip 800 form a sliding mechanism, which facilitates the adjustment of the protection range of the stop strip 805. The rotating rod 802 drives the stop strip 805 to rotate, which can unfold the stop strip 805, making it easier to fix and remove the camera body 600.
[0038] In a further preferred embodiment, the surface of the slide bar 800 is threaded with a locking bolt 801, the end of which abuts tightly against the wall of the slide groove 502. A sealing strip 503 is fixedly connected to the side of the C-shaped plate 501, covering the surface of the slide groove 502. The locking bolt 801 locks the position of the slide bar 800, ensuring the stability of the protective mechanism after adjustment. The sealing strip 503 covers the opening of the slide groove 502. When the slide bar 800 moves the rotating rod 802 into the interior of the slide groove 502, the sealing strip 503 can prevent the rotating rod 802 from rotating on its own, thereby fixing the rotating rod 802.
[0039] Preferably, the end of the rotating rod 802 is threaded with a locking bolt 804, the end of which is in close contact with the surface of the insert rod 803. The locking bolt 804 fixes the insert rod 803 at the end of the rotating rod 802, thus achieving a secondary locking of the protective position of the stop bar 805.
[0040] In a further preferred embodiment, a motor 404 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the rotating base 400, and a threaded rod 405 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 404. The moving plate 500 is threadedly fitted onto the surface of the threaded rod 405. The threaded engagement between the threaded rod 405 and the moving plate 500 enables precise control of the vertical lifting and lowering of the camera body 600; the motor 404 drives the threaded rod 405 to rotate, providing automated height adjustment capability.
[0041] More preferably, drive frames 401 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating base 400, and mounting rings 300 are fixedly connected to both sides of one end of the upper surface of the robot base plate 100. A hydraulic rod 301 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting ring 300, and a snap-fit connector 302 is fixedly connected to one end of the hydraulic rod 301. The snap-fit connector 302 is slidably engaged with the drive frame 401. The hydraulic rod 301 drives the rotating base 400 to rotate horizontally through the snap-fit connector 302, thereby adjusting the scanning angle of the camera body 600. The drive frame 401 and the mounting ring 300 form a rotation fulcrum, ensuring the stability of the horizontal rotation.
[0042] In a further preferred embodiment, both ends of the base block 202 are provided with snap-fit grooves 203, and the inner walls of both sides of the groove 102 are fixedly connected with protruding corners 104, which snap into the snap-fit grooves 203. Fastening bolts 204 are threadedly inserted into the side of the base block 202, and threaded grooves 103 are provided on the inner wall of the groove 102. The ends of the fastening bolts 204 are threaded into the threaded grooves 103. A rectangular groove 105 is provided on the surface of the robot base plate 100, and a buckle 201 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting base 200. The buckle 201 is movably engaged with the edge of the rectangular groove 105. The protruding corners 104 and snap-fit grooves 203 form a snap-fit connection, enabling rapid positioning of the mounting base 200; the double fastening bolts 204 and threaded grooves 103 constitute a double locking structure, ensuring the stability of equipment operation; the buckle 201 cooperates with the rectangular groove 105 to assist in the rapid assembly and disassembly positioning of the mounting base 200.
[0043] Working Principle: After the robot autonomously moves to the target position via the moving wheels 101 at the bottom of the base plate, the bottom block 202 of the mounting base 200 is embedded into the groove 102 of the base plate, and the initial positioning is completed by the interlocking structure of the convex corner 104 and the snap-fit groove 203. Subsequently, the mounting base 200 is quickly pre-positioned by the snap-fit of the rotating buckle 201 and the rectangular groove 105; the double fastening bolts 204 are screwed into the threaded groove 103 to further lock the connection between the bottom block 202 and the groove 102, forming a double stable structure of mechanical locking and thread locking, ensuring the stability of the equipment in a vibration environment. The rotating seat 400 is equipped with a motor 404, which drives the threaded rod 405 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded moving plate 500 to rise and fall axially along the vertical rod 402. The moving plate 500 drives the camera body 600 to move synchronously through the C-shaped plate 501, realizing precise control of the camera height. During this process, the rubber plate 700, through the elastic clamping mechanism of the insert rod 701 and the spring 703, adapts to the surface shape of the camera body 600, buffering the impact force during lifting and lowering to avoid hard collisions. The hydraulic rod 301 is slidably engaged with the drive frames 401 on both sides of the rotating seat 400 through the snap-fit connector 302, driving the rotating seat 400 to rotate horizontally around the mounting base 200. The drive frame 401 and the mounting collar 300 form a rotation fulcrum, and combined with the extension and retraction stroke of the hydraulic rod 301, the continuous adjustment of the camera scanning angle is realized. The rotating rod 802 fixes the unfolding angle of the stop bar 805 with the second locking bolt 804. Combined with the sliding adjustment of the slide bar 800 along the slide groove 502, the stop bar 805 can be fixedly installed at one end of the camera body 600. For disassembly, loosen the first locking bolt 801, slide the slide bar 800 to cause the rotating rod 802 to unfold the stop bar 805; then, pull the limit head 702 of the insertion rod 701, stretch the spring 703 to release the clamping force on the camera body 600, and the camera can be removed. For installation, the operation is reversed; the spring 703 automatically resets and clamps the camera, and the stop bar 805 is fixed in its protective position again by the second locking bolt 804, ensuring operational stability. The drive signals of the motor 404 and the hydraulic rod 301 are synchronously coordinated by the central controller: vertical lifting and horizontal rotation are executed independently to avoid motion interference; the unfolding and retracting status of the stop bar 805 is fed back to the control system in real time, dynamically adjusting the protection range based on camera perspective data, balancing ease of operation and environmental adaptability.
