Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection robot technology, specifically a lifting gimbal for an inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] To ensure the continuous and normal operation of production activities, regular patrols and inspections of the processing and production areas are necessary. Track-mounted inspection robots have emerged to address this need. These robots can continuously move along a track within the processing area while simultaneously performing monitoring activities. The inspection robot's pan-tilt unit is the supporting equipment used to mount and secure components such as high-definition cameras.

[0003] A patent with publication number CN218819466U discloses a lifting camera, including a control system, a scissor-lift mechanism, and a pan-tilt camera; the control system drives and connects to the scissor-lift mechanism; the scissor-lift mechanism is located on top of the pan-tilt camera and drives and connects to the pan-tilt camera.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned device has the following problems when in use: Although this inspection device can perform lifting and lowering activities, the components that perform the lifting and lowering activities are completely exposed to the air and lack corresponding protective mechanisms. This makes it easy for dust and slag generated in the production site to enter the components, interfering with the normal use of the components and affecting their service life. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a lifting gimbal for inspection robots, which can effectively protect the lifting components during equipment operation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A lifting gimbal for an inspection robot includes a running track, a moving component, and a control room. An upper fixed plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the control room. A multi-stage telescopic rod is provided on the upper fixed plate. A lower fixed plate is fixedly installed at the other end of the multi-stage telescopic rod. A lifting frame is installed between the upper fixed plate and the lower fixed plate through lugs. A camera component is provided on the lower fixed plate.

[0008] A bellows cover is provided between the upper fixed plate and the lower fixed plate, and an upper mounting plate and a lower mounting plate are fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the bellows cover, respectively.

[0009] The upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate each have a receiving cavity inside that can accommodate the upper fixing plate and the lower fixing plate, respectively;

[0010] Both ends of the upper and lower mounting plates are slidably mounted with moving rods, and the upper and lower fixed plates are provided with positioning grooves that are adapted to the moving rods at corresponding positions.

[0011] Preferably, an operating lever is fixedly installed at one end of the moving rod, and a limiting arc block is fixedly installed at the other end of the moving rod. The positioning groove allows the limiting arc block to move, and a baffle is fixedly installed inside the positioning groove.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting arc block is in the shape of a minor arc, and the baffle is in the shape of a semi-circular ring. The baffle does not affect the normal movement of the moving rod and the limiting arc block.

[0013] Preferably, a position indicator block is fixedly installed on the opposite end of the operating lever, and the position indicator block is parallel to the center line of the corresponding limiting arc block.

[0014] Preferably, magnetic plates are inlaid on the bottom of the storage block on the upper fixed plate and the top of the storage block on the lower fixed plate, facing inward. There are two storage blocks on both the upper and lower fixed plates, with the two corresponding storage blocks located on opposite sides, and the storage blocks are N-shaped.

[0015] Preferably, a magnetic plate is fixedly installed on the storage block, and magnetic blocks are fixedly installed at corresponding positions on the upper surface of the upper mounting plate and the lower surface of the lower mounting plate.

[0016] Preferably, the height of the storage block is adapted to the height of the accordion cover in its folded state.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] When the lower fixed plate moves, the downward-facing end of the accordion cover can be compressed or stretched along with the movement of the lower fixed plate. This allows the accordion cover to protect the components performing the lifting and lowering activities, keeping them in a relatively enclosed space and preventing dust and debris from affecting their service life. Furthermore, the connection between the upper and lower fixed plates and the mounting plate can be easily and quickly established and disengaged. The storage block allows the accordion cover to be in either an upward or downward retracted state, making it suitable for different usage needs. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A lifting gimbal for an inspection robot includes a running track 1, a moving component 2, and a control room 3. By moving the moving component 2 on the running track 1, the inspection robot can move along a predetermined trajectory, thereby successfully performing inspection activities.

[0027] The control room 3 contains corresponding sensors and power supplies to provide technical support for the lifting and rotation of the camera.

[0028] An upper fixed plate 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the control room 3. A multi-stage telescopic rod 10 is provided on the upper fixed plate 4. A lower fixed plate 12 is fixedly installed at the other end of the multi-stage telescopic rod 10. A lifting frame 11 is installed between the upper fixed plate 4 and the lower fixed plate 12 through lugs. A camera assembly 8 is provided on the lower fixed plate 12.

[0029] It is worth noting that rods are rotatably mounted on the common rotation axis of the cross-section at the front end of the lifting frame 11 and the common rotation axis of the cross-section at the rear end of the lifting frame 11. The upper fixed plate 4 and the lower fixed plate 12 are fixedly mounted with lugs at corresponding positions. The lugs are provided with holes that are compatible with the corresponding rods. The rods are installed inside the corresponding holes through bearings, so that the lifting frame 11 can perform normal lifting and lowering activities and ensure the stability of the lower fixed plate 12 lifting and lowering.

[0030] Furthermore, the lifting frame 11 is similar to the scissor support structure in a lifting clothes rack. Since the specific installation method and installation point of this technology have been fully disclosed in the existing technology, they will not be described in detail here.

[0031] By moving the multi-stage telescopic rod 10, the lower fixed plate 12 can be raised and lowered, and the distance between the upper fixed plate 4 and the lower fixed plate 12 gradually increases. At the same time, the angle of the lifting frame 11 also increases, thus keeping the height change of the lower fixed plate 12 stable.

[0032] A bellows cover 7 is provided between the upper fixed plate 4 and the lower fixed plate 12. An upper mounting plate 5 and a lower mounting plate 6 are fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the bellows cover 7, respectively.

[0033] It is worth noting that sealing gaskets should be provided on the contact surfaces of the upper fixing plate 4 and the upper mounting plate 5, and on the contact surfaces of the lower fixing plate 12 and the lower mounting plate 6, to ensure a tight seal and prevent dust and impurities from accidentally entering the bellows cover 7 and affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0034] When the lower fixed plate 12 moves, since there is a certain connection between the lower mounting plate 6 and the lower fixed plate 12, the downward end of the bellows cover 7 can be compressed or stretched along with the movement of the lower fixed plate 12. Thus, the bellows cover 7 can protect the components that perform the lifting and lowering activities, keeping them in a relatively enclosed space to prevent dust and debris from affecting their service life.

[0035] The upper mounting plate 5 and the lower mounting plate 6 are respectively provided with receiving cavities 18 that can accommodate the upper fixing plate 4 and the lower fixing plate 12. The presence of the receiving cavity 18 can perform positioning activities. As long as the upper fixing plate 4 and the lower fixing plate 12 are in the corresponding receiving cavity 18, the holes are aligned with each other, which facilitates the establishment and release of the connection relationship.

[0036] Both ends of the upper mounting plate 5 and the lower mounting plate 6 are slidably mounted with moving rods 19, and the upper fixed plate 4 and the lower fixed plate 12 are provided with positioning grooves 17 that are adapted to the moving rods 19 at corresponding positions.

[0037] When the moving rod 19 is inside the positioning groove 17, the upper mounting plate 5 and the upper fixed plate 4, and the lower mounting plate 6 and the lower fixed plate 12 can be connected. When the moving rod 19 is pulled out, the moving rod 19 moves out of the positioning groove 17, which can quickly disconnect the connection and make it easy to expose the lifting assembly for maintenance.

[0038] An operating lever 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the moving lever 19, and a limiting arc block 20 is fixedly installed at the other end of the moving lever 19. The positioning groove 17 allows the limiting arc block 20 to move, and a baffle 21 is fixedly installed inside the positioning groove 17.

[0039] The operating lever 13 can drive the moving lever 19 to move and rotate, but the moving lever 19 is always connected to the upper mounting plate 5 and the lower mounting plate 6, and the moving lever 19 cannot be disengaged.

[0040] By rotating the operating lever 13, the limiting arc block 20 is positioned in the space between the bottom of the positioning groove 17 and the baffle 21. At this time, due to the blocking effect of the baffle 21, the moving lever 19 cannot be pulled out smoothly, and the connection relationship tends to be stable.

[0041] When it is necessary to disconnect the connection, the limiting arc block 20 is rotated to an upward position, so that the baffle 21 will not block the movement path of the limiting arc block 20, and the moving rod 19 can be pulled out smoothly.

[0042] The limiting arc block 20 is in the shape of a minor arc, and the baffle 21 is in the shape of a semi-circular ring. The baffle 21 does not affect the normal movement of the moving rod 19 and the limiting arc block 20.

[0043] A position indicator block 14 is fixedly installed on the opposite end of the operating lever 13, and the position indicator block 14 is parallel to the center line of the corresponding limiting arc block 20.

[0044] The indicator block 14 can indicate the angle of the limiting arc block 20. By observing the angle of the indicator block 14, the angle of the limiting arc block 20 can be known, thus facilitating rotational adjustment.

[0045] Storage blocks 9 are rotatably mounted on both the upper fixed plate 4 and the lower fixed plate 12. There are two storage blocks 9 on both the upper fixed plate 4 and the lower fixed plate 12. The two corresponding storage blocks 9 are located on opposite sides and are N-shaped.

[0046] The distance between the upper lower surface and the lower upper surface of the storage block 9 is adapted to the thickness of the accordion cover 7 in the folded state. The storage block 9 can limit the accordion cover 7 in the folded state to prevent it from moving accidentally and ensure the smooth progress of maintenance activities.

[0047] Magnetizing plates 16 are inlaid on the bottom of the storage block 9 on the upper fixing plate 4 and the top of the storage block 9 on the lower fixing plate 12. Magnets 15 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the upper mounting plate 5 and the lower surface of the lower mounting plate 6 at corresponding positions.

[0048] The magnetic plate 16 of the upper fixed plate 4 and the magnetic block 15 on the lower surface of the lower mounting plate 6 cooperate with each other. The magnetic plate 16 of the upper fixed plate 12 and the magnetic block 15 on the upper surface of the upper mounting plate 5 cooperate with each other. This allows the bellows cover 7 to be in a state of retracting upwards and retracting downwards, which is convenient for different maintenance needs.

[0049] The height of the storage block 9 is matched with the height of the accordion cover 7 in the folded state, so the storage block 9 can smoothly store the accordion cover 7.

[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
