[0002] Existing bouncing surveillance robots mainly consist of a base, power unit, carbon fiber strips, a central rope, and a camera assembly.

[0016] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for detailed explanation.

[0017] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a bouncing monitoring robot with fiber optic transmission, including a base 1, a power component 2, and multiple carbon fiber strips 3. One end of each carbon fiber strip 3 is rotatably mounted on the base 1, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the power component 2. A central rope 4 is installed at the center of the base 1. The central rope 4 is wound around the rotating end of the power component 2. A collar 5 is slidably sleeved on the central rope 4. The collar 5 is provided with rubber ropes 6 that are connected one-to-one with the multiple carbon fiber strips 3. A camera component is installed below the base 1. A fiber optic carrier sleeve 9 is fitted onto the power assembly 2. A fiber optic coiling and storage compartment 10 is fitted onto the fiber optic carrier sleeve 9. A transmission fiber bundle 11, surrounding the fiber optic carrier sleeve 9, is located within the fiber optic coiling and storage compartment 10. A fiber optic terminal carrier 12, which coordinates with the transmission fiber bundle 11, is mounted at the bottom of the fiber optic carrier sleeve 9. This fiber optic terminal carrier 12 is also fixedly connected to the outer shell of the power assembly 2. The fiber optic terminal carrier 12 integrates a photoelectric conversion module. One end of the module is connected to the camera assembly via an SPI interface and a ribbon cable, while the other end is optically coupled to the lower end of the transmission fiber bundle 11. The fiber optic terminal carrier 12 is fixedly mounted on the power assembly 2 and is connected to the camera assembly for transmission. Specifically, the transmission fiber bundle 11 uses flexible, bend-resistant fiber with a diameter ≤1mm, supporting lossless real-time transmission of 4K ultra-high-definition signals.

[0018] When monitoring is required, the power component 2 tightens the central rope 4, which in turn causes the base 1 to drive the carbon fiber strip 3 to bend and deform. The carbon fiber strip 3 bends and stretches the rubber rope 6, converting the electrical energy of the power component 2 into elastic potential energy for storage. When the energy storage is complete, the clutch mechanism disengages instantly, the elastic potential energy is released rapidly, and the carbon fiber strip 3 and the rubber elastic rope simultaneously return to their original shape, generating an upward and forward combined force that propels the device to bounce. During the bounce, the camera component takes pictures and records the environmental information of the monitored area, achieving efficient monitoring of the field environment. By adding an optical fiber carrier sleeve 9, an optical fiber coiled storage compartment 10, a transmission optical fiber bundle 11, and an optical fiber terminal carrier 12, the monitoring signal collected by the camera component is coupled to the transmission optical fiber bundle 11 via the optical fiber terminal carrier 12, forming a high-bandwidth optical fiber transmission link from bottom to top. This structure replaces local storage transmission with optical fiber transmission, realizing real-time, zero-delay transmission of 4K ultra-high-definition monitoring images, and the image quality is not limited by storage capacity. At the same time, the transmission optical fiber bundle 11 is orderly stored in the cavity-type storage compartment surrounding the optical fiber carrier sleeve 9, avoiding optical fiber tangling, bending, and breakage, which greatly improves the reliability of data transmission and the stability of field use.

[0019] Furthermore, the fiber optic carrier sleeve 9 is provided with a threaded hole, and a threaded connector 13 is rotatably installed on the fiber optic coiled storage compartment 10. The threaded connector 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the threaded connector 13 is provided with a limiting head 14 that cooperates with the fiber optic terminal carrier 12 to clamp and fix the fiber optic coiled storage compartment 10. Rotating the threaded connector 13 allows it to be screwed into the threaded hole on the fiber optic carrier sleeve 9. As it tightens, the limiting head 14 firmly presses the fiber optic coiled storage compartment 10 onto the fiber optic terminal carrier 12, completing the compartment fixation. Its working principle is to convert rotational motion into axial clamping force, achieving reliable fixation of the compartment and accurate signal connection in one fell swoop. The beneficial effects are: the fiber optic coiled storage compartment 10 can be quickly replaced or maintained in the field without tools, significantly improving maintenance convenience. At the same time, the threaded anti-loosening and clamping fixation ensure that the fiber connection does not detach under bounce, impact and vibration.

[0020] Furthermore, the power assembly 2 includes a drive motor 19, a gearbox 20, and a clutch servo motor 21. The drive motor 19, gearbox 20, and clutch servo motor 21 are all installed inside the fiber optic support sleeve 9. The gearbox 20 is connected to the drive motor 19 in a transmission configuration. The output shaft of the gearbox 20 is provided with a power gear 22. The output end of the clutch servo motor 21 is equipped with a servo rocker arm 23. One end of the servo rocker arm 23 is equipped with a winding shaft gear 24. The winding shaft gear 24 is meshed with the power gear 22. A winding reel 25 is coaxially arranged on the winding shaft gear 24, and the center rope 4 is wound on the winding reel 25. The drive motor 19 drives the power gear 22 via the reduction gearbox 20. The clutch servo 21 controls the engagement and disengagement of the winding shaft gear 24 and the power gear 22 through the servo rocker arm 23. During energy storage, the winding shaft gear 24 engages, and the motor drives the winding reel 25 to wind up the central rope 4, causing the carbon fiber strip 3 to bend and store energy. At the moment of bouncing, the clutch servo 21 pulls the servo rocker arm 23 to disengage the gear, and the winding reel 25 is released freely. It has rapid energy storage and release, high energy conversion efficiency, and reliable bouncing action. Moreover, the power component 2 is integrated into the fiber optic support sleeve 9, with a compact structure and reasonable center of gravity, which enhances the stability of the bouncing posture.

[0021] Furthermore, the fiber optic coiling and storage compartment 10 is equipped with a male fiber optic signal terminal 15, and the fiber optic terminal support 12 is provided with a female fiber optic signal socket 16 that mates with the male fiber optic signal terminal 15. When the fiber optic coiling and storage compartment 10 is pushed in and locked along the fiber optic support sleeve 9, the male fiber optic signal terminal 15 at the bottom of the compartment is simultaneously inserted into the female fiber optic signal socket 16 fixed on the fiber optic terminal support 12, thus completing both mechanical fixation and fiber optic signal link connection in a single installation. Its working principle is based on a spring-loaded contact quick-connect structure to achieve instantaneous low-loss connection of multi-core fiber optic signals. The advantages are: eliminating cumbersome on-site fiber optic splicing or wiring operations, increasing installation and replacement efficiency several times over, low insertion loss, contact resistance ≤50mΩ, and signal transmission rate ≥10Gbps, meeting the bandwidth requirements for real-time 4K video transmission.

[0022] Furthermore, the fiber optic winding and storage compartment 10 is externally connected to a fiber optic lead-out protective bend 17. The fiber optic lead-out protective bend 17 externally connected to the fiber optic winding and storage compartment 10 is made of an arc-shaped flexible wear-resistant material, which allows the transmission fiber bundle 11 to be led out of the compartment in a smooth bending path, avoiding micro-bending loss and fiber breakage risk caused by right-angle bending. It uses arc-shaped guidance to control the fiber bending radius within the allowable range and resists external forces through an outer anti-stab and cut material.

[0023] Furthermore, a photovoltaic canopy 18 is provided between adjacent carbon fiber strips 3, and the photovoltaic canopy 18 is electrically connected to the power supply on the power component 2. Specifically, it is connected to the charging controller and lithium battery on the power component 2 through waterproof wires. During the bouncing energy storage phase, the carbon fiber strips 3 bend towards the center, causing the photovoltaic canopy 18 to naturally open, maximizing the light-receiving area for efficient photovoltaic power generation; during ascent, due to air resistance, the canopy contracts along the carbon fiber strips 3 to reduce wind resistance; during descent, air resistance causes the canopy to fully unfold, forming an umbrella-shaped buffer structure to reduce landing speed; and relying entirely on the coupling of the deformation of the carbon fiber strips 3 and aerodynamics, no additional unfolding or retracting mechanism is required, achieving "three uses in one": compensating for elastic potential energy during bouncing energy storage, providing self-powered photovoltaic charging throughout the process, and significantly increasing the air resistance area for buffering during descent. This solves the three major problems of power supply, buffering, and bouncing assistance in one fell swoop, and without adding any new driving components, the failure rate is extremely low.

[0024] Furthermore, the camera assembly includes a protective base 7 and a camera 8. The protective base 7 is fixedly installed below the base 1, and has a mounting slot for mounting the camera 8. The camera 8 is mounted in the mounting slot with its shooting direction facing downwards. Specifically, the bottom of the protective base 7 is tilted, forming a 70° angle with the ground. The camera 8 captures photos, recording environmental information of the monitored area. The tilted bottom allows the device to bounce at a 70° angle, enabling the robot to land in a tilted posture and bounce again. This allows the camera 8 to naturally obtain a wide-angle overhead view of approximately 70°, capturing a larger, unobstructed area of ​​the ground after each bounce. This results in covering a wider monitoring area with fewer bounces, improving the efficiency of field monitoring and the effectiveness of data collection.
