Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot control technology, and in particular to an unmanned robot for industrial parks. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology and the progress of society, intelligent management systems are increasingly being applied in various scenarios, especially in large parks and commercial centers. However, existing management methods often rely on manual patrols or fixed surveillance cameras, which are not only inefficient but also slow to respond to emergencies. Therefore, developing an unmanned robot capable of operating autonomously and performing multiple tasks within the park is of paramount importance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model aims to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an unmanned robot for industrial parks.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the frame structure of this utility model;

[0013] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0015] An unmanned robot for industrial parks includes a robot chassis, a robot navigation and obstacle avoidance unit, a robot inspection unit, and a robot communication unit. The robot chassis includes an energy storage and management unit, a motion control unit, a four-wheel drive motion unit, and a fall protection sensor. The robot navigation and obstacle avoidance unit includes a navigation controller, a lidar, an ultrasonic sensor, and a gyroscope. The robot inspection unit uses a 360° gimbal equipped with an infrared camera and a visible light camera to collect environmental data within the robot's inspection range and provides the data to the navigation controller for analysis and application processing via a network port. The robot communication unit connects the robot to a router in the environment via a wireless communication module to receive a 2.4G / 5G Wi-Fi signal, or connects the robot to a 5G SIM card.

[0016] The energy storage and management unit is equipped with a lithium battery and a battery charging and discharging management module to provide the necessary power to each unit of the robot. The motion control unit communicates with the four-wheel drive motion unit via a CAN bus to control the wheel servos and drives of the four-wheel drive motion unit, completing the wheel steering and rotation actions. It also communicates with the navigation controller via a CAN bus, receiving operation control commands from the navigation controller and uploading the robot chassis status. The motion control unit communicates with the energy storage and management unit via a CAN interface, triggering the robot to return to its home base for charging when the battery level is below a threshold, ensuring a continuous energy supply.

[0017] The four-wheel drive motion unit uses four CAN bus control servo motors to control the direction of the four servo integrated drive wheels. The rotation of the four CAN bus control servo integrated drive wheels realizes the robot's forward, backward, and turning movements. The anti-fall sensor uses a laser rangefinder sensor, which is connected to the robot chassis emergency stop port through the sensor's DO terminal. When the scene in front of the robot exceeds the set depth distance, the robot stops in an emergency.

[0018] The navigation controller processes LiDAR data, runs navigation logic, and communicates with the robot chassis via CAN bus to control the chassis's motion. The LiDAR provides the collected environmental data to the navigation controller for analysis and application processing through the network port. The navigation controller makes logical judgments based on the real-time distance data fed back by the LiDAR and ultrasonic radar, and triggers the robot to stop suddenly when the distance to an obstacle is less than the set safe distance.

[0019] The ultrasonic sensor provides the navigation controller with the distance data between the robot and surrounding obstacles via the CAN bus, and performs analysis and processing; the gyroscope provides the navigation controller with the robot's posture data via the USB interface, and performs analysis and processing.

[0020] The navigation controller establishes a connection with the WIFI 2.4G / 5G signal or SIM 5G signal in the intranet through the wireless communication module, and interacts with the monitoring center server to realize the operation of receiving inspection tasks, transmitting inspection data back, and reporting vehicle status.

[0021] The unmanned robot in this utility model establishes a wireless network connection with the intranet via a wireless communication module and a wireless WIFI 2.4G / 5G or SIM card 5G signal. The robot's navigation controller interacts with the monitoring center server through this wireless network to perform operations such as receiving inspection tasks, transmitting inspection data, and reporting vehicle status.

[0022] The navigation controller of the robot body acquires data collected by LiDAR through the network port, vehicle posture data returned by the gyroscope through the USB interface, ultrasonic sensor data through the CAN interface, and environmental inspection data returned by the dual-light gimbal through the network port. After data fusion, the robot performs unmanned autonomous execution of inspection tasks according to the inspection requirements set by the user.

[0023] The navigation controller communicates with the motion control unit on the robot chassis via a CAN interface. The motion control unit controls the direction of four control servo motors and four servo-driven wheels via the CAN bus, enabling control over wheel direction, rotation number, direction, and speed. Furthermore, the robot chassis control unit also communicates with the energy storage and management unit via the CAN interface to ensure a normal energy supply. When the battery is low, the robot will promptly return to its home base for recharging, ensuring continuous operation.

[0024] The navigation controller makes real-time logical judgments based on distance data fed back by ultrasonic sensors and lidar. When the unmanned robot in the park encounters an obstacle and the relative distance is less than the set safe distance, the robot will stop suddenly to ensure that the robot maintains a safe distance from the obstacle.

[0025] The anti-fall sensor also monitors the flatness of the road surface in front of the robot in real time. When the unattended robot in the park encounters a pothole and the relative depth is greater than the set safe depth, the robot will stop suddenly to ensure that the robot maintains a safe distance from the obstacle.

[0026] By setting up the unmanned operation mechanism and strategies for the robot park, including task reception and execution, energy management and recycling, and safety policies, the overall unmanned operation of the unmanned robots in the park can be achieved.
