Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ground robot technology, and in particular to a factory ground robot with a self-cleaning track structure. Background Technology

[0002] Factory ground robots are intelligent devices designed specifically for factory environments, capable of operating autonomously or semi-autonomously on factory floors. They are widely used in complex environments such as warehousing and logistics, and production workshops. Their tracked mobile structure has become the mainstream design solution due to its high passability and stability.

[0003] However, during long-term operation, metal shavings, oil stains, and fibrous impurities easily adhere to the track surface. Traditional robots require manual disassembly and cleaning of the tracks after shutdown, resulting in high maintenance costs and affecting the continuity of operations. Existing self-cleaning technologies mostly use fixed scraper structures, which have cleaning dead corners and cannot deal with adhesive dirt. Especially under heavy-load conditions, dirt accumulation will aggravate track wear and cause transmission jamming risks. Therefore, we propose a factory ground robot with a self-cleaning track structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the tracks of traditional factory ground robots being prone to accumulating impurities, high costs of manual disassembly, cleaning and maintenance affecting operations, dead corners in cleaning with scrapers making it difficult to remove adhering dirt, and easy wear and jamming under heavy loads. Therefore, this invention proposes a factory ground robot with a self-cleaning track structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A factory ground robot with a self-cleaning track structure includes a ground robot body. The ground robot body is rotatably connected to tracks on both sides, and cleaning boxes are fixedly connected to both sides by bolts. The working section of the track extends into the corresponding cleaning box. The cleaning box is equipped with a rotating brush that contacts the surface of the track; The top of the ground robot body is equipped with a dust collection component, including a dust collection port and a through hole opened on the ground robot body, and a dust suction device connected to the through hole through a connecting pipe; The top of the ground robot body is also equipped with a cleaning component, which includes a fixed cleaning pipe that extends to the inside of the corresponding cleaning box at both ends, and a nozzle group with at least three nozzles.

[0006] In one possible design, the rotating brush is driven by a transmission rod that extends into the cleaning box and has brushes fixedly connected to both ends. A driven bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the transmission rod, and the driving bevel gear at the motor output end meshes with the driven bevel gear. When the motor starts, the brushes rub against the track surface in opposite directions to scrape away dirt through the meshing transmission of the bevel gears.

[0007] In one possible design, the dust collection port of the dust collection component is connected to two cleaning boxes at both ends, and the through hole extends longitudinally through the dust collection port; the dust collection device is connected to the through hole through a connecting pipe, and generates negative pressure suction during operation to suck up and collect the dust scraped off by the brush.

[0008] In one possible design, the connecting pipe is fixedly installed to the side wall of the ground robot body by bolts, and its interior is equipped with a filter screen to filter large particles and fibrous dirt, which can intercept impurities and prevent dirt from spreading.

[0009] In one possible design, the cleaning assembly also includes a water pump with its outlet connected to a cleaning pipe and its inlet connected to an external water source; the nozzle assembly includes at least three nozzles facing the track, and when the water pump is started, water flows through the nozzles to form a multi-directional high-pressure jet, which, together with the rotation of the brush, removes stubborn oil stains.

[0010] In one possible design, the brush is made of high-toughness nylon with an elastic modulus adapted to the uneven structure of the track surface to eliminate cleaning dead spots.

[0011] In one possible design, the inner wall of the cleaning tank is provided with a guide channel to direct the flow of rinsing wastewater.

[0012] In one possible design, the ground robot body has symmetrically arranged liftable support legs at the four corners of its bottom, each including a drive motor and a telescopic end with anti-slip rubber pads. When the support legs are fully extended, the gap between the bottom of the track and the ground is ≥10cm, forming a suspended state. At this time, the water pump is started to deeply wash the continuously rotating track, and the sewage is discharged through the diversion channel.

[0013] In this application, firstly, during the operation of the ground robot body, the motor is started, which drives the active bevel gear to rotate. Through the meshing transmission with the driven bevel gear, the transmission rod rotates, which in turn drives the brush in the cleaning box to rub against the surface of the track, scraping off the surface dirt and performing preliminary physical cleaning of the track. Meanwhile, the vacuuming device located on top of the ground robot works. Since its suction port is connected to the through hole through the connecting pipe, and the through hole is connected to the two cleaning boxes, the suction generated when the vacuuming device is working will suck the dust scraped off by the brush into the dust collection device. The filter screen set in the connecting pipe can effectively intercept large particles from entering the vacuuming device, extending the service life of the vacuuming device. The detachable connecting pipe makes it easy to clean large particles and fibrous dirt that enter it. When deep cleaning is required, the four support legs activate, lifting the two tracks off the ground. Then, the water pump on top of the robot connects to an external water source, and water flows through the cleaning pipe and sprays from the nozzle assembly to wash away the continuously rotating tracks and stubborn stains in their grooves. At the same time, the brushes continue to rotate to assist in scrubbing, achieving dual cleaning through water washing and mechanical friction. Wastewater can be discharged through the guide channel at the bottom of the robot, ensuring thorough cleaning of the tracks, extending their service life, and reducing maintenance frequency.

[0014] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the factory ground robot with a self-cleaning track structure is provided with detachable cleaning boxes on both sides of the ground robot body and nylon brushes that come into contact with the track inside the boxes, so that the ground robot body can be fully automatically cleaned without stopping during operation, thereby reducing maintenance costs. In this utility model, the factory ground robot with a self-cleaning track structure has a dust collection port and a through hole in the dust collection component. The channel formed by the dust collection port and the through hole, together with the negative pressure suction generated by the top dust collection device through the connecting pipe, can suck up and collect the dust generated during the cleaning process in real time. The filter screen inside the detachable and easy-to-maintain connecting pipe can intercept large particles of impurities and prevent dirt from spreading into the factory environment with the airflow. This not only keeps the working area clean but also extends the service life. In this invention, a factory ground robot with a self-cleaning track structure has a cleaning component connected to an external water source via a water pump. Water flows through a nozzle assembly on the cleaning pipe, with at least three nozzles forming a multi-directional spray to perform high-pressure rinsing on the track. Combined with the rotation of the brush, it can dissolve and remove stubborn stains such as oil, achieving an upgrade from physical cleaning to chemical cleaning, deeply cleaning the track, and reducing mechanical failures caused by stain residue.

[0015] In this invention, fully automatic cleaning is achieved by using cleaning boxes and nylon brushes on both sides of the ground robot body, reducing maintenance costs; the dust collection component collects dust and debris through channels, a dust suction device, and a connecting pipe with a filter, avoiding secondary pollution, maintaining a clean environment, and extending service life; the cleaning component washes the tracks with a water pump, cleaning pipe, and nozzle assembly, and removes stubborn stains with the brushes, achieving an upgrade from physical to chemical cleaning and reducing mechanical failures.
