Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of probe structure technology, specifically a probe structure for an intelligent inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent inspection robots are widely used in fields such as power, petrochemicals, and rail transportation. They are intelligent devices that replace human labor in inspecting and maintaining equipment. They can autonomously complete inspection tasks and are widely used in various industries. They can improve inspection efficiency, reduce operation and maintenance costs, ensure personnel safety, and provide accurate and reliable data. They can solve problems such as low efficiency, high cost, and high risk of manual inspection. Intelligent inspection robots use a variety of probe structures, and different types of robots have different probe structures.

[0003] To improve inspection efficiency, a common practice in existing technologies is to mount probes onto existing intelligent inspection robots to increase the inspection area and efficiency. However, when the intelligent inspection robot moves the probe synchronously, prolonged operation in a high-temperature environment can cause the probe to generate significant heat. Furthermore, the high temperature environment leads to drier air, which can cause dry dust to disperse during the robot's movement. When this dust adheres to the probe's lens surface, it can affect lens sharpness and cause probe malfunctions due to excessive heat, resulting in insufficient reliability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a probe structure for intelligent inspection robots, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, reduce the failure rate of the probe structure for intelligent inspection robots, and improve stability and reliability.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a probe structure for an intelligent inspection robot, comprising:

[0007] The probe body is fixedly mounted on the frame of the existing intelligent inspection robot by bolts;

[0008] The probe body includes a housing and a camera assembly. The camera assembly is mounted on the housing and has a lens mounted on it. The lens is located on the outside of the housing.

[0009] A heat dissipation assembly is disposed on the outside of the probe body. The heat dissipation assembly includes heat dissipation fins and a ventilation and exhaust assembly. The heat dissipation fins are fixed on the top and side outer walls of the probe body, and the ventilation and exhaust assembly is disposed on the outer side of the top of the heat dissipation fins.

[0010] The linkage cleaning component is located on the front side of the probe body. The linkage cleaning component includes a transmission connection and a first fixing block, a motor, a first connecting shaft, a first drive wheel, a second drive wheel, a drive belt, a first bevel gear, a second fixing block, a second connecting shaft, a second bevel gear, and a cleaning plate structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the ventilation and exhaust assembly includes: a ventilation frame, a rotating shaft, and heat dissipation blades. The rotating shaft is mounted on the ventilation frame via bearings, and the heat dissipation blades are mounted on the rotating shaft and located within the ventilation frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the linkage cleaning component includes: a first fixing block disposed on the front side of the top of the probe body, a motor disposed on the top side of the first fixing block, and a first connecting shaft with transmission mounted on the output end of the motor.

[0013] Furthermore, the linkage cleaning component also includes a first drive wheel mounted on a first connecting shaft, a second drive wheel mounted on a rotating shaft, and a drive belt sleeved on the outer walls of the first and second drive wheels.

[0014] Furthermore, the linkage cleaning assembly also includes a first bevel gear located at the top of the first connecting shaft, a second fixing block located at the other end of the top of the first fixing block, a second connecting shaft rotatably mounted on the second fixing block via a bearing, and a second bevel gear located on the second connecting shaft, wherein the second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear.

[0015] Furthermore, the linkage cleaning component also includes a cleaning plate structure disposed at the other end of the second connecting shaft, wherein a cleaning component is installed on the side of the cleaning plate structure near the lens, and the cleaning component slides and adheres to the lens surface of the camera assembly of the probe body.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention deeply integrates the two major functions of heat dissipation and cleaning. The heat dissipation component absorbs the working heat of the probe body through heat dissipation fins and uses the ventilation and exhaust component to dissipate heat quickly. The ventilation and exhaust component is connected to the linkage cleaning component through mechanical transmission, so that the power generated during the heat dissipation process synchronously drives the cleaning mechanism. No additional power source is required, which improves the system integration and energy utilization efficiency.

[0018] Meanwhile, this utility model can absorb the heat generated by the probe body of the intelligent inspection robot through the heat dissipation component. When the heat inside the probe body of the intelligent inspection robot is absorbed by the heat dissipation fins, the heat absorbed by the heat dissipation fins can be quickly discharged to the outside through the rotation of the heat dissipation blades, thus avoiding the problem of the probe body of the intelligent inspection robot being damaged by the high temperature environment.

[0019] Furthermore, this invention connects the first drive wheel and the second drive wheel with a drive belt to achieve axial power transmission, and utilizes the flexibility of belt drive to reduce operating noise and vibration.

[0020] The meshing design of the first and second bevel gears can control the rotation drive of the second connecting shaft, enabling the cleaning plate structure to fit the lens surface for rotational cleaning. This transmission method not only solves the spatial layout problem, but also ensures the stability and reliability of power transmission.

[0021] Furthermore, this utility model connects the ventilation and heat dissipation component with the linkage cleaning component, enabling the linkage cleaning component to simultaneously clean the dust attached to the main lens of the intelligent inspection robot's probe during the fan rotation without the need for additional electric drive equipment. This improves the clarity of the main lens of the intelligent inspection robot's probe and saves energy through linkage, achieving energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0022] This design is particularly suitable for complex industrial environments with high levels of dust and particulate matter, ensuring continuous image clarity and significantly improving the accuracy of inspection data.

[0023] The heat dissipation component and the linkage cleaning component of this utility model are distributed in a modular form on the top and sides of the probe, which facilitates installation, disassembly and maintenance. The application of mechanical transmission reduces the use of electronic components, lowers the probability of failure, extends the service life of the equipment, achieves the goal of maintenance-free or low-maintenance, reduces operation and maintenance costs, and meets the application needs of intelligent inspection robots for long-term unattended operation.

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.

[0032] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-3 The probe structure for an intelligent inspection robot shown includes: a probe body 1, a heat dissipation component 2, and a linkage cleaning component 4. The intelligent inspection robot body is as shown in the intelligent inspection robot with Chinese Patent Announcement No. CN213244111 U. Based on the inconvenience of the traditional inspection robot body in practical applications, this utility model improves upon it. In this utility model, the probe body 1 is fixedly installed on the frame of an existing intelligent inspection robot by bolts.

[0033] Probe body 1: includes a housing and a camera assembly, the camera assembly is mounted on the housing, and a lens is provided on the camera assembly, the lens being located on the outside of the housing;

[0034] Heat dissipation component 2: disposed on the outside of probe body 1;

[0035] The heat dissipation assembly 2 includes heat dissipation fins 2-1 and ventilation and exhaust assembly 3. The heat dissipation fins 2-1 are fixed on the top and side outer wall of the probe body 1, and the ventilation and exhaust assembly 3 is disposed on the outer side of the top of the heat dissipation fins 2-1.

[0036] Linkage cleaning component 4: Located on one side in front of probe body 1;

[0037] The linkage cleaning component 4 includes a transmission connection and a first fixing block 4-1, a motor 4-2, a first connecting shaft 4-3, a first drive wheel 4-4, a second drive wheel 4-5, a drive belt 4-6, a first bevel gear 4-7, a second fixing block 4-8, a second connecting shaft 4-9, a second bevel gear 4-10, and a cleaning plate structure 5.

[0038] The ventilation and exhaust assembly 3 includes a ventilation frame 3-1, a rotating shaft 3-2, and heat dissipation blades 3-3. The rotating shaft 3-2 is mounted on the ventilation frame 3-1 via bearings, and the heat dissipation blades 3-3 are mounted on the rotating shaft 3-2 and located inside the ventilation frame 3-1.

[0039] The linkage cleaning component 4 includes a first fixing block 4-1 located on the top front side of the probe body 1, a motor 4-2 located on the top side of the first fixing block 4-1, and a first connecting shaft 4-3 with transmission installed at the output end of the motor 4-2.

[0040] The linkage cleaning component 4 also includes a first drive wheel 4-4 set on the first connecting shaft 4-3, a second drive wheel 4-5 set on the rotating shaft 3-2, and a drive belt 4-6 sleeved on the outer wall of the first drive wheel 4-4 and the second drive wheel 4-5.

[0041] The linkage cleaning component 4 also includes a first bevel gear 4-7 located at the top of the first connecting shaft 4-3, a second fixing block 4-8 ​​located at the other end of the top of the first fixing block 4-1, a second connecting shaft 4-9 rotatably mounted on the second fixing block 4-8 ​​via a bearing, and a second bevel gear 4-10 located on the second connecting shaft 4-9. The second bevel gear 4-10 meshes with the first bevel gear 4-7.

[0042] The linkage cleaning component 4 also includes a cleaning plate structure 5 located at the other end of the second connecting shaft 4-9. A cleaning component 5-1 is installed on the side of the cleaning plate structure 5 near the lens. The cleaning component 5-1 slides and adheres to the lens surface of the camera component of the probe body 1.

[0043] Working principle: During operation, the probe body 1 can absorb and quickly dissipate the heat generated inside the probe body 1 through the heat dissipation component 2. Because the heat dissipation fins 2-1 are tightly attached to the outer shell of the probe body 1, the heat dissipation fins 2-1 can absorb the heat of the probe body 1, and then the heat absorbed by the heat dissipation fins 2-1 can be quickly dissipated through the ventilation and exhaust component 3.

[0044] When dust adheres to the lens surface of the camera assembly of the probe body 1, the ventilation and exhaust assembly 3 is connected to the linkage cleaning assembly 4. As the ventilation and exhaust assembly 3 rotates to dissipate heat, the motor 4-2 and the first connecting shaft 4-3 cooperate to provide rotational power to the linkage cleaning assembly 4, so that the linkage cleaning assembly 4 cleans the dust adhering to the lens surface of the camera assembly of the probe body 1. The first connecting shaft 4-3 is equipped with a first drive wheel 4-4, and the rotating shaft 3-2 of the ventilation and exhaust assembly 3 is equipped with a second drive wheel 4-5. The first drive wheel 4-4 and the second drive wheel 4-5 are connected by a drive belt 4-6. Here, the cooperation between the first drive wheel 4-4, the second drive wheel 4-5 and the drive belt 4-6 can be achieved by a belt and pulley transmission or by a synchronous belt and synchronous pulley meshing transmission.

[0045] During the operation of the ventilation and exhaust assembly 3 controlled by the first connecting shaft 4-3, the first bevel gear 4-7 on the shaft can rotate synchronously. The first bevel gear 4-7 meshes with the second bevel gear 4-10. At this time, the second bevel gear 4-10 drives the second connecting shaft 4-9 to rotate synchronously and stably on the second fixed block 11. During the stable rotation of the second connecting shaft 4-9, the cleaning plate structure 5 on the shaft can rotate. Because the cleaning component 5-1 slides and adheres to the lens surface of the camera assembly of the probe body 1, the dust attached to the surface of the probe body 1 is cleaned.

[0046] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model deeply integrates the two major functions of heat dissipation and cleaning. The heat dissipation component absorbs the working heat of the probe body through heat dissipation fins and quickly dissipates heat using the ventilation and exhaust component. The ventilation and exhaust component is connected to the linkage cleaning component through mechanical transmission, so that the power generated during the heat dissipation process synchronously drives the cleaning mechanism, eliminating the need for an additional power source and improving system integration and energy utilization efficiency. Simultaneously, this utility model absorbs the heat generated by the probe body of the intelligent inspection robot through the heat dissipation component. After the heat inside the probe body is absorbed by the heat dissipation fins, the rotation of the heat dissipation blades quickly expels the absorbed heat, preventing the probe body from malfunctioning due to high temperatures. Furthermore, this utility model connects the first and second drive wheels with a drive belt to achieve axial power transmission, utilizing belt drive... The flexibility reduces operating noise and vibration. The technical solution of this invention utilizes the meshing design of a first and second bevel gear to control the rotation of the second connecting shaft, allowing the cleaning plate structure to conform to the lens surface for rotational cleaning. This transmission method not only solves the spatial layout problem but also ensures the stability and reliability of power transmission. Furthermore, this invention connects the ventilation and heat dissipation component with the linkage cleaning component, enabling the linkage cleaning component to simultaneously clean dust adhering to the lens of the intelligent inspection robot's probe during fan rotation without requiring additional electric drive equipment. This improves the clarity of the lens and saves energy through linkage, achieving energy conservation and environmental protection. It is particularly suitable for complex industrial environments with high levels of dust and particulate matter, continuously ensuring lens imaging clarity and significantly improving the accuracy of inspection data.
