Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire protection equipment technology, and in particular to a water channel docking mechanism for a fire extinguishing robot. Background Technology

[0002] Fire is one of the most frequent and common disasters that threaten public property and lives. During firefighting operations, firefighters often suffer casualties and huge losses due to the complex and ever-changing environment. Therefore, firefighting robots have become a special type of robot that can replace firefighters in fire rescue operations and can operate in high-risk and special environments.

[0003] Chinese patent CN202320734072.3 discloses a firefighting robot, comprising a shell and tracks. The tracks are respectively disposed on both sides of the shell, and a base plate is provided on the bottom wall of the shell. An adjustment assembly is provided on the base plate, with the output end of the adjustment assembly located near the tracks. The adjustment assembly includes a connecting plate, a flexible connector, an adjustment plate, and a hydraulic rod. The fixed end of the hydraulic rod is disposed on the base plate, the connecting plate is disposed on the base plate, the flexible connector is connected to the connecting plate, the adjustment plate is connected to the flexible connector, and the adjustment plate is connected to the movable end of the hydraulic rod. This robot can perform self-cooling treatment on equipment, overcoming the shortcomings of existing machines that are difficult to adapt to high-temperature environments.

[0004] However, this technical solution has certain shortcomings in use. Existing fire-fighting robots lack water supply, making it difficult to fetch water when the fire is severe. Furthermore, the need to constantly connect and disassemble pipes when fetching water affects the fire-fighting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a water access mechanism for a fire-fighting robot. This mechanism enables the robot to collect water through a water pipe system, thereby solving the problem of poor fire-fighting efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A water-channel docking mechanism for a fire extinguishing robot includes a guide rail and a water pipe above the guide rail. A toothed rail is provided in the groove of the guide rail. Multiple sets of water outlet components are provided below the water pipe. A robot body is movably connected to the guide rail. A water tank is provided on the robot body. A drive component, a docking component, and a conductive component are also provided on the robot body.

[0008] Multiple sets of the aforementioned water outlet components are distributed at ten-meter intervals along the water pipeline.

[0009] The water outlet assembly includes: a water outlet head disposed below the water pipe; a water outlet hole located at the bottom end of the water outlet head; a telescopic column fixedly connected inside the water outlet head; a spring disposed inside the telescopic column; a spherical seat located at the bottom end of the telescopic column; and a water outlet ball movably connected to the bottom end of the spherical seat.

[0010] The drive assembly includes: a guide block disposed on the robot body; a through slot formed on the guide block; a lifting seat disposed on one side of the guide block; a motor disposed on the lifting seat; a gear a disposed at one end of the output shaft of the motor; and a cylinder disposed below the lifting seat.

[0011] The docking assembly includes: a water inlet pipe disposed on a water tank; a water receiving hopper disposed at the top end of the water inlet pipe; a base rod fixedly connected to the inside of the water inlet pipe; a toothed tube movably connected to the base rod; a top block disposed at the top end of the toothed tube; a rotating shaft passing through and connected to the water inlet pipe; a gear b disposed at one end of the rotating shaft; and a gear c disposed at the other end of the rotating shaft.

[0012] The conductive component includes: a filter canister disposed inside the water tank; a float movably connected inside the filter canister; a threaded post disposed at the top of the float; a connecting rod disposed on the float; a ball bearing movably connected to the connecting rod; and a wire harness disposed on the connecting rod.

[0013] An electric rail is provided on the outer side of the guide rail.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] (1) This utility model drives the gear a to rotate by a motor. The gear a meshes with the toothed rail, thereby realizing the displacement of the robot body and water spraying fire extinguishing on the guide rail. Thus, it can perform cyclic detection and fire extinguishing operations in a designated area to ensure the protection effect.

[0016] (2) This utility model uses a float to follow the liquid level down in the filter tank. When the water resources are consumed and the float sinks into the filter tank, the connecting rod drives the ball to descend into the groove of the electric rail and contact the electric rail, so that the wiring harness is energized to power the motor controller. The robot body is moved to the nearest water outlet component to carry out water collection, thereby greatly shortening the water collection distance and improving the fire extinguishing efficiency.

[0017] (3) This utility model uses a wire harness to trigger the power supply to the cylinder. The cylinder drives the motor and gear a to lift on the lifting seat and engage with gear b. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft engages with the tooth groove on the tooth tube via gear c, which drives the top block to move upward. The upward movement of the top block pushes the water ball to overcome the spring force on the telescopic column and into the water outlet head. This allows water resources in the water pipe to leak out from the water outlet hole and be collected in the water tank through the water receiving bucket to replenish the water resources of the robot body. This reduces the pipe connection steps when taking water, increases the water taking speed, and further improves the fire extinguishing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a water channel docking mechanism for a fire extinguishing robot, including a guide rail 1 and a water pipe 2 above the guide rail 1. A toothed rail 101 is provided in the groove of the guide rail 1. Multiple sets of water outlet components 21 are provided below the water pipe 2. A robot body 4 is movably connected to the guide rail 1. A water tank 401 is provided on the robot body 4. The robot body 4 is also provided with a drive component 41, a docking component 42, and a conductive component 43.

[0032] Multiple sets of water outlet components 21 are distributed at ten-meter intervals on the water pipe 2.

[0033] The water outlet assembly 21 includes: a water outlet head 211, which is located below the water pipe 2; a water outlet hole 212, which is located at the bottom end of the water outlet head 211; a telescopic column 213, which is fixedly connected inside the water outlet head 211; a spring 214, which is located inside the telescopic column 213; a ball seat 215, which is located at the bottom end of the telescopic column 213; and a water outlet ball 216, which is movably connected to the bottom end of the ball seat 215.

[0034] The drive assembly 41 includes: a guide block 411, which is disposed on the robot body 4; a through groove 412, which is formed on the guide block 411; a lifting seat 413, which is disposed on one side of the guide block 411; a motor 414, which is disposed on the lifting seat 413; a gear a 415, which is disposed at one end of the output shaft of the motor 414; and a cylinder 416, which is disposed under the lifting seat 413.

[0035] In this embodiment, the robot body 4 is connected to the guide rail 1 via the guide block 411, and the gear a415 is driven to rotate by the motor 414. The gear a415 meshes with the toothed rail 101, thereby realizing the displacement of the robot body 4 on the guide rail 1. The power output of the motor 414 can be used to drive the motor 414 and the gear a415 to be lifted on the lifting seat 413 through the cylinder 416, so that the power can be transmitted to the subsequent docking structure.

[0036] The docking assembly 42 includes: a water inlet pipe 421, which is mounted on the water tank 401; a water receiving hopper 422, which is located at the top of the water inlet pipe 421; a bottom rod 423, which is fixedly connected inside the water inlet pipe 421; a toothed tube 424, which is movably connected to the bottom rod 423; a top block 425, which is located at the top of the toothed tube 424; a rotating shaft 426, which is connected through the water inlet pipe 421; a gear b 427, which is located at one end of the rotating shaft 426; and a gear c 428, which is located at the other end of the rotating shaft 426.

[0037] In this embodiment, the water receiving hopper 422 expands the opening range of the water supply pipe 421 to prevent water from overflowing. When water needs to be added, gear a415 is lifted by cylinder 416 and contacts gear b427. Motor 414 drives shaft 426 to rotate. The rotating shaft 426 meshes with gear c428 and tooth groove on tooth tube 424 on bottom rod 423 to drive top block 425 to move upward. The upward movement of top block 425 pushes water ball 216 to overcome the rebound force of spring 214 on telescopic column 213 into water outlet head 211, so that water in water pipe 2 leaks out from water outlet hole 212 and is collected by water receiving hopper 422 into water tank 401 to replenish water resources for robot body 4.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] like Figures 6-7 As shown, components that are the same as or corresponding to those in Embodiment 1 are referred to using the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1. For simplicity, only the differences from Embodiment 1 are described below. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0040] The conductive component 43 includes: a filter tank 431, which is disposed inside the water tank 401; a float 432, which is movably connected inside the filter tank 431; a threaded post 433, which is disposed at the top of the float 432; a connecting rod 434, which is disposed on the float 432; a ball bearing 435, which is movably connected to the connecting rod 434; and a wire harness 436, which is disposed on the connecting rod 434.

[0041] An electric rail 3 is provided on the outer side of the guide rail 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, the top of the connecting rod 434 is located above the electric rail 3, and the filter tank 431 is located at the bottom of the water tank 401. Thus, due to the restriction of the filter tank 431, the float 432 will always be in the water. When the water resources in the water tank 401 are exhausted, the float 432 will sink into the filter tank 431, and further drive the ball bearing 435 to descend into the groove of the electric rail 3 and contact the electric rail 3 through the connecting rod 434, so that the wiring harness 436 is energized and supplies power to the motor 414 and the cylinder 416 to complete the water replenishment of the water tank 401.

[0043] Working principle

[0044] The motor 414 drives the gear a415 to rotate, and the gear a415 meshes with the toothed rail 101, thereby realizing the displacement of the robot body 4 and the spraying of water to extinguish the fire on the guide rail 1.

[0045] When the water in the water tank 401 is depleted, the float 432 descends with the liquid level in the filter tank 431. The float 432 will sink into the filter tank 431 and further drive the ball 435 to descend into the groove of the electric rail 3 through the connecting rod 434 and contact the electric rail 3, so that the wiring harness 436 is energized to power the motor 414 controller. The robot body 4 is moved to the nearest water outlet component 21 through the motor 414 and the sensor.

[0046] The wiring harness 436 is energized and supplies power to the cylinder 416. The cylinder 416 drives the motor 414 and gear a415 to lift on the lifting seat 413 and engage with gear b427. The motor 414 drives the rotating shaft 426 to rotate. The rotating shaft 426 rotates and engages with the tooth groove on the toothed tube 424 via gear c428, which in turn drives the top block 425 to move upward. The upward movement of the top block 425 pushes the water ball 216 to overcome the rebound force of the spring 214 on the telescopic column 213 into the water outlet 211. This allows water resources in the water pipe 2 to leak out from the water outlet 212 and be collected in the water tank 401 through the water receiving bucket 422, thus replenishing the water resources of the robot body 4.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
