Description

Technical Field

[0002] Inspection firefighting robots are intelligent robots specifically designed for fire prevention and response. They combine multiple functions such as inspection, fire detection, and fire suppression, enabling them to replace firefighters in various dangerous and complex environments, improving firefighting and rescue efficiency and effectively preventing casualties. Current inspection firefighting robots primarily use sensors or cameras to locate flames and then extinguish them using their fire suppression systems. However, fire scenes are complex, with many flammable materials, and current robots cannot handle flammable materials near the fire's origin. Furthermore, the nozzles used in current robots are mostly fixed, requiring adjustments to the entire robot's position to move the nozzles, and the angle cannot be adjusted, resulting in low flexibility and further reducing firefighting efficiency.

[0020] The detection mechanism 2 also includes obstacle avoidance sensors 23; multiple obstacle avoidance sensors 23 are distributed on both the front and rear sides of the top of the support frame 21. The obstacle avoidance sensors 23 are infrared sensors used to detect whether there are obstacles in the path.

[0021] The fire extinguishing mechanism 3 includes a connecting frame 31, a water storage tank 32, a water pump 33, an inlet pipe 34, an outlet pipe 35, and a nozzle 36. The connecting frame 31 is mounted on the top surface of the support frame 21. The water storage tank 32 is vertically mounted on the front side of the top surface of the connecting frame 31. The water pump 33 is located on the top surface of the connecting frame 31, to the right of the water storage tank 32. Its inlet is connected to the water storage tank 32 via the inlet pipe 34, and its outlet is connected to the nozzle 36 via the outlet pipe 35. The nozzle 36 is connected to the transport mechanism 4. In the event of a fire, the water pump 33 draws water from the water storage tank 32 and sprays it from the nozzle 36 to extinguish the fire.

[0022] The transport mechanism 4 includes a platform 41 and a robotic arm 42. The platform 41 is mounted on the top surface of the connecting frame 31.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The robot inspects the areas requiring inspection according to a predetermined route. During the inspection, the flame sensor 22 detects the presence of fire in real time. When the flame sensor 22 detects a fire, it switches to manual control mode. The operator remotely controls the robot to move to the fire location and uses the robotic arm 42 of the handling mechanism 4 to remove flammable materials near the fire to prevent the fire from spreading. At the same time, the camera 25 captures real-time footage of the scene. The operator determines whether the burning materials can be extinguished with water. If water can be used, the water pump 33 of the fire extinguishing mechanism 3 is activated to pump water from the water tank 32 to the nozzles 36 for spraying. During the fire extinguishing process, the robotic arm 42 can be controlled to move in multiple degrees of freedom, thereby changing the position and angle of the nozzles 36 and improving the fire extinguishing efficiency.
