Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable laying technology, specifically to a cable laying track robot. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as power, rail transportation, and mining, cable laying often relies on manual labor or simple machinery, which has the following drawbacks: manual operation is labor-intensive and inefficient, especially in long-distance, high-altitude, confined, or high-risk environments where safety is poor. Traditional mechanical devices such as cable cars and cranes lack flexibility, are difficult to adapt to complex track layouts, and have limited stability in clamping cables. Therefore, designing a user-friendly cable laying track robot is an urgent problem that technical personnel in related fields need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0004] A cable laying track robot includes a main body with track walking mechanisms at both ends of its bottom. A rotary motor is mounted on the upper part of the main body, with its output shaft connected to a supporting base plate. The outer end of the supporting base plate extends outward from the main body. A first electric telescopic rod is mounted on the supporting base plate. One end of the first electric telescopic rod, located inside the supporting base plate, is connected to a telescopic drive motor, and the other end is connected to a gripper assembly via a gripper drive mechanism, driving the gripper assembly to open and close. A support plate is mounted on the supporting base plate to support the first electric telescopic rod. A camera assembly facing the gripper assembly is mounted on the top of the telescopic drive motor. A controller and a battery are mounted inside the main body and connected to the walking mechanism, rotary motor, telescopic drive motor, and camera assembly.

[0005] Furthermore, the gripping assembly includes a first gripping plate and a second gripping plate arranged opposite to each other. The ends of the first gripping plate and the second gripping plate near the telescopic drive motor are respectively mounted on a rotating shaft via rotating plates. The upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably mounted on the gripping fixed end plate. The upper surfaces of the first gripping plate and the second gripping plate are provided with drive slides, and the gripping drive mechanism is slidably mounted in the drive slides.

[0006] Furthermore, the gripping drive mechanism includes a pulley disposed in the drive slide, the top of the pulley being connected to a U-shaped push rod via a pulley mounting rod, and the middle part of the U-shaped push rod being connected to the end of the first electric telescopic rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive slide is configured as an opening slide, a changing slide, and a closing slide in sequence from the direction of the gripper fixing plate to the direction of the gripper end. The distance between the opening slide and the outer wall of the gripper fixing plate is greater than the distance between the closing slide and the outer wall of the gripper fixing plate. The changing slide is an inclined slide that connects the opening slide and the closing slide. When the U-shaped push rod is pushed out under the action of the first electric telescopic rod, causing the pulley to slide into the closing slide, the first gripper plate and the second gripper plate close. When the U-shaped push rod is retracted under the action of the first electric telescopic rod, causing the pulley to slide into the opening slide, the first gripper plate and the second gripper plate open to both sides.

[0008] Furthermore, the first gripping plate and the second gripping plate are longitudinally provided with a clearance groove in the middle, and the outer middle of the first gripping plate and the second gripping plate are provided with a semi-circular cable clamping groove communicating with the clearance groove. When the first gripping plate and the second gripping plate are closed, the two semi-circular cable clamping grooves merge into a circular clamping groove.

[0009] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad is provided on the inner wall of the semi-circular cable clamping groove.

[0010] Furthermore, one or more sets of signal transmitting / receiving antennas are respectively provided on both sides of the main body of the device, and the signal transmitting / receiving antennas are electrically connected to the controller.

[0011] Furthermore, the device body is provided with lighting lamps facing the front and rear ends of the device body at both ends, and the lighting lamps are electrically connected to the controller.

[0012] Furthermore, the track walking mechanism includes track wheels, which are connected to the track wheel drive shaft via a second electric telescopic rod. A differential and a walking drive motor connected to the differential are provided in the middle of the track drive shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, anti-detachment plates are respectively provided on both sides of the track wheel, the diameter of the anti-detachment plates is larger than the diameter of the track wheel, and an array of magnets are provided along the outer axial direction inside the track wheel.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0015] This invention combines an anti-detachment plate with a magnet to ensure stable movement on complex tracks and avoid the risk of derailment. The linkage between the pulley, U-shaped push rod, and drive slide enables the smooth opening and closing of the gripping plate. With the help of the semi-circular clamping groove and anti-slip pad, it can accommodate cables of different diameters, providing uniform clamping force and preventing slippage. The rotary motor supports 360° rotation of the supporting base plate. Combined with the extension and retraction of the first electric telescopic rod, the gripping assembly can operate flexibly in multiple directions, including horizontal and vertical, reducing manual adjustment steps.

[0030] The gripping assembly 8 includes a first gripping plate 801 and a second gripping plate 802 arranged opposite to each other. The ends of the first gripping plate 801 and the second gripping plate 802 near the telescopic drive motor 6 are respectively mounted on a rotating shaft 804 via a rotating plate 803. The upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 804 are rotatably mounted on a gripping fixed end plate 805. A drive slide 806 is provided on the upper surface of the first gripping plate 801 and the second gripping plate 802. The gripping drive mechanism 7 is slidably disposed within the drive slide 806. The gripping drive mechanism 7 includes a pulley 701 disposed within the drive slide 806. The top of the pulley 701 is connected to a U-shaped push rod 703 via a pulley mounting rod 702. The middle part of the U-shaped push rod 703 is connected to the end of the first electric telescopic rod 5.

[0031] The drive slide 806 is configured sequentially from the gripper fixing plate direction to the gripper end direction as an opening slide 806a, a changing slide 806b, and a closing slide 806c. The distance between the opening slide 806a and the outer wall of the gripper fixing plate is greater than the distance between the closing slide 806c and the outer wall of the gripper fixing plate. The changing slide 806b is an inclined slide connecting the opening slide 806a and the closing slide 806c. When the U-shaped push rod 703 is pushed out under the action of the first electric telescopic rod 5, causing the pulley 701 to slide into the closing slide 806c, the first gripper plate 801 and the second gripper plate 802 close. When the first electric telescopic rod 5 retracts, causing the pulley 701 to slide into the opening slide rail 806a, the first gripping plate 801 and the second gripping plate 802 open to both sides. A clearance groove 807 is longitudinally provided in the middle of the first gripping plate 801 and the second gripping plate 802. A semi-circular cable clamping groove 808 communicating with the clearance groove 807 is provided in the middle of the outer end of the first gripping plate 801 and the second gripping plate 802. When the first gripping plate 801 and the second gripping plate 802 close, the two semi-circular cable clamping grooves 808 merge into a circular clamping groove. An anti-slip pad 809 is provided on the inner wall of the semi-circular cable clamping groove 808.

An array of magnets 207 are axially arranged along the outer edge of the track wheel 201.

[0034] In practical implementation, the walking drive motor drives the track wheel 201 to rotate through the differential, enabling the robot to move forward, backward, and turn on the track; the anti-detachment plates 206 on both sides of the track wheel 201 prevent derailment, and the magnets inside the track wheel 201 attract the metal track, enhancing stability and ensuring reliable walking on complex tracks; during walking, the lights 10 at both ends of the main body 1 can be turned on in low light environments to provide illumination; the camera component 9 captures the gripping area in real time, transmits the image to the controller, and then transmits the data with external devices through the signal transmitting / receiving antenna 12.

[0035] The rotary motor 3 drives the supporting base plate 4 to rotate, aligning the gripping assembly 8 with the direction of the cable to be gripped, adapting to different laying requirements. In the open state: the first electric telescopic rod 5 retracts, and the U-shaped push rod drives the pulley 701 to slide along the opening slide 806a of the drive slide 806. The rotating plate 803 causes the first and second gripping plates 802 to open to both sides. In the closed gripping state: the first electric telescopic rod 5 extends, and the pulley 701 enters the closing slide 806c. The pulley 701 pushes the rotating plate 803 to rotate inward, the gripping plates close, and the two semi-circular cable gripping grooves 808 merge into a circular groove. The inner wall anti-slip pad 809 tightly adheres to the cable, achieving stable gripping. After gripping the cable, the robot moves along the track. By adjusting the positions of the rotary motor 3 and the first electric telescopic rod 5, the cable is accurately placed in the designated position. The above actions are repeated to complete the laying.
