Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of unmanned inspection vehicle technology, and in particular to a load stabilization structure for unmanned inspection vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of unmanned inspection vehicle technology, its application in various fields such as power, communications, and transportation is becoming increasingly widespread. The various precision equipment carried by these vehicles, such as six-axis robotic arms, gimbal cameras, and servers, provide strong technical support for inspection operations. However, during the movement and braking of these unmanned vehicles, significant vibrations are generated due to uneven road surfaces and changes in speed. These vibrations not only affect the lifespan of the onboard equipment but also reduce operational accuracy, thus impacting the efficiency and quality of inspection operations. Therefore, how to effectively reduce vibrations during unmanned vehicle operation and ensure the stability and operational accuracy of the onboard equipment has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] In the field of unmanned inspection vehicles, some technological advancements have been made to address the load stability issue. For example, traditional vibration damping technologies, such as rubber damping pads and spring dampers, while reducing vibration to some extent, have limited effectiveness and are difficult to adapt to the driving needs of unmanned vehicles under different road conditions. In recent years, with the development of intelligent control technology and materials science, some new vibration damping and stabilization structures have emerged. For instance, by utilizing actuators such as electric cylinders and pneumatic cylinders, combined with sensors and controllers, active vibration damping and stabilization control can be achieved. This method can adjust the damping effect in real time according to the driving status of the unmanned vehicle, improving load stability. Furthermore, the development of edge computing technology has provided new solutions for load stability control of unmanned inspection vehicles. By deploying edge computing chips on the unmanned vehicle, real-time monitoring and intelligent control of the onboard equipment can be achieved, improving system response speed and stability. However, currently, no innovative structure on the market can comprehensively solve the load stability problem of unmanned inspection vehicles.

[0004] In summary, the following technical problems currently exist:

[0005] 1. Vibration affects equipment lifespan and operational accuracy:

[0006] During the movement and braking of unmanned inspection vehicles, significant vibrations are generated due to factors such as uneven road surfaces and changes in vehicle speed. These vibrations directly affect the precision equipment such as the onboard six-axis robotic arm, gimbal camera, and server, which can not only cause internal parts to loosen and wear more quickly, thus shortening the equipment's lifespan, but also affect the equipment's operational accuracy, such as positioning errors of the robotic arm and blurred images from the camera, thereby reducing the efficiency and quality of inspection operations.

[0007] 2. Traditional shock absorption technology has limited effectiveness:

[0008] Currently, some traditional vibration damping technologies, such as rubber damping pads and spring dampers, can reduce vibration to a certain extent, but their damping effect is limited and difficult to adapt to the driving needs of autonomous vehicles under different road conditions. Especially under complex and changing road conditions, these traditional vibration damping technologies often cannot provide sufficient stability and damping effect.

[0009] 3. Lack of intelligent control and dynamic adjustment capabilities:

[0010] Most existing unmanned inspection vehicle load stabilization structures lack intelligent control and dynamic adjustment capabilities. They cannot adjust the shock absorption effect in real time according to the unmanned vehicle's driving status (such as speed, acceleration, road conditions, etc.) to adapt to different driving needs. This results in the load platform not being able to maintain a level position during driving, thus affecting the equipment's operational accuracy and stability. Utility Model Content

[0044] Therefore, this application, through the introduction of a modular design consisting of upper, middle, and lower sections, utilizes six small electric cylinders as active damping elements, combined with intelligent control via an electronic level, damping springs, and edge computing chips, to achieve dynamic leveling of the unmanned inspection vehicle's load platform.

This significantly improves the efficiency and quality of inspection operations, solving key problems in existing technologies such as significant vibration impact, limited damping effect, and lack of intelligent control.

[0045] It has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0046] 1. Significantly improves vibration damping effect and extends equipment service life.

[0047] Multi-stage vibration reduction mechanism: Through the synergistic effect of damping springs (passive vibration reduction) and electric cylinder active adjustment (active vibration reduction), a "passive + active" composite vibration reduction system is formed, which can absorb high-frequency vibrations (such as road bumps) and compensate for low-frequency vibrations (such as braking inertial impact) in real time, significantly reducing the wear of internal parts of precision equipment such as robotic arms and servers, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0048] Dynamic load buffering: For devices with different weights (such as the different loads of a PTZ camera and a server), the load distribution is analyzed in real time by an edge computing chip, and the support force of the electric cylinder is adjusted to avoid the local overload problem caused by uneven load of traditional springs.

[0049] 2. Achieve high-precision dynamic leveling to ensure operational stability.

[0050] Intelligent active leveling: The load platform tilt angle is monitored in real time by an electronic level. The edge computing chip combines the unmanned vehicle's motion status (speed, acceleration, etc.) to predict the vibration trend and control the rapid extension and retraction of 6 electric cylinders to ensure that the load platform's horizontal error is always less than ±0.5°, eliminating robotic arm positioning deviation and camera image jitter, and improving the accuracy of inspection operations.

[0051] Adaptive road condition adjustment: For complex working conditions such as gravel roads, slopes, and sudden braking, it can automatically switch the shock absorption strategy to ensure stable operation of the equipment in dynamic environments.

[0052] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this disclosure. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0053] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0054] In the description of this disclosure, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is generally based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and is only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this disclosure; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
