Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to fire protection equipment technology, and more particularly to a fire-fighting robot. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing societal emphasis on fire safety, firefighting robots have been widely deployed in various hazardous fire scenarios. These robots can replace rescue personnel in dangerous environments, spraying water to extinguish and cool high-temperature areas, thus helping to ensure the safety of rescue personnel.

[0003] However, the current fire-fighting robots still require manual connection between the hose connectors and fire hydrants, resulting in poor timeliness of fire emergency response. In addition, when fire hydrants are in dangerous environments, rescuers need to manually connect the hose connectors at the fire hydrants, which also increases additional safety hazards.

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0046] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., used in this application's specification and the aforementioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0047] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0048] As mentioned in the background technology, when current fire-fighting robots are used for fire-fighting operations, rescuers need to manually connect the hose connector to the fire hydrant box outlet and manually open the valve. This process relies on manual operation, is time-consuming, and is difficult to accurately locate the outlet in a dense smoke environment, which unnecessarily increases the safety risks for rescuers.

[0049] Based on this, one or more embodiments of the present application provide a fire-fighting robot. By setting a movable robotic arm, the robotic arm can dynamically adjust the end position in a complex environment, thereby facilitating alignment with fire-fighting water supply equipment. The hose connector is integrated on the attachment body, and the attachment body moves synchronously with the robotic arm. Through the movement of the robotic arm, the hose connector can be connected to the outlet of the fire-fighting water supply equipment, thereby avoiding manual intervention by rescue personnel and improving the fire-fighting response speed.

[0050] In addition, the adjustable arm and the attachment body are movably connected, and the adjusting parts on the adjustable arm can be connected to the on / off switch of the fire water supply equipment at a preset position to realize the automatic opening and closing of the on / off switch without the need for manual adjustment of the on / off switch. The fire robot realizes the full automation of the process from hose connection to on / off switch opening, which is conducive to improving fire extinguishing efficiency.

[0051] The firefighting robot of this application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the fire-fighting robot provided in this application embodiment includes a robot body 100, an attachment body 200, a hose connector 210, and an adjusting arm 220.

[0053] The robot body 100 is equipped with a movable robotic arm 110; the attachment body 200 is detachably connected to the robotic arm 110 so that it can be driven by the robotic arm 110 to move synchronously; the hose connector 210 is provided on the attachment body 200 and is used to connect to the outlet end 510 of the fire water supply equipment 500; the adjusting arm 220 is movably provided on the attachment body 200 and the free end of the adjusting arm 220 is provided with an adjusting member 221. The adjusting member 221 is configured to connect to the on / off switch 520 of the fire water supply equipment 500 when the adjusting arm 220 moves relative to the attachment body 200 to a preset position so as to switch the on / off state of the outlet end 510 by adjusting the on / off switch 520.

[0054] As can be seen from the above description, the fire-fighting robot of this application embodiment has a movable robotic arm 110 on the robot body 100. The robotic arm 110 can dynamically adjust the end-effector posture in complex environments, thereby facilitating alignment with the fire-fighting water supply equipment 500. Since the attachment body 200 is connected to the robotic arm 110, the robotic arm 110 drives the attachment body 200 to move synchronously when it moves. The hose connector 210 on the attachment body 200 connects to the outlet end 510 of the fire-fighting water supply equipment 500 as it moves, ensuring the connection between the hose connector 210 and the fire-fighting water supply equipment 500, thereby ensuring that the water from the outlet end 510 of the fire-fighting water supply equipment 500 smoothly enters the hose connector 210.

[0055] In addition, the adjusting component 221 on the adjusting arm 220 is connected to the on / off switch 520. Adjusting the on / off switch 520 switches the on / off state of the water outlet 510. As a result, the alignment of the fire robot with the fire water supply equipment 500, the connection of the water outlet 510 with the hose connector 210, and the opening action of the water outlet 510 do not require manual intervention on site. They are all completed automatically by the fire robot. The whole process is more efficient and smooth, avoiding the fire personal injury hazards caused by on-site operation by rescue personnel, and also helping to improve the timeliness of disaster relief.

[0056] It should be noted that the fire water supply equipment 500 in this embodiment is an indoor fire hydrant. The indoor fire hydrant includes a water outlet 510 for water discharge and a valve for controlling the on / off state of the water outlet 510, which is the on / off switch 520 in this embodiment. It is connected to the water outlet 510 through the hose connector 210. The on / off switch 520 is adjusted by the adjusting component 221 to open the water outlet 510 independently, so that the hose connector 210 can be directly connected to the water at the water outlet 510 for fire extinguishing.

[0057] Here, Figure 2The dashed box in the figure represents the robot body 100. The structure of the robot body 100 can be referred to the fire-fighting robot section in related technologies. For example, the robot body 100 integrates a tracked or wheeled mobile chassis and other related components to improve fire-fighting work. These will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the robotic arm 110 adopts a multi-degree-of-freedom design. The robotic arm 110 includes a waist for connecting with the robot body 100, and an upper arm and a forearm connected to the waist in sequence. The waist and the robot body 100, the upper arm and the waist, and the upper arm and the forearm are all rotatable connections. Here, the joint design of the robotic arm 110 can refer to the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 110 structure in related technologies, which will not be described again in the embodiments of this application.

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the free end of the robotic arm 110 is provided with a connecting part 111, and the attachment body 200 is provided with a mating part 230 on the side facing the robotic arm 110. The connecting part 111 and the mating part 230 are detachably connected.

[0060] For example, the connecting part 111 adopts a quick-change male connector, and the mating part 230 adopts a quick-change female connector. The quick-change male connector and the quick-change female connector are common components in the field of robotics.

[0061] This component can be configured with reference to quick-change devices in related technologies. The male connector of the quick-change device typically includes one or more mechanical latches. When the male connector of the quick-change device is driven by the robotic arm 110 and mates with the female connector of the quick-change device, an externally set trigger signal controls the engagement of the male connector and the female connector of the quick-change device to form a mechanical connection.

[0062] As an alternative implementation, the connecting part 111 and the mating part 230 can also be detachably connected using an electromagnetic adsorption structure. For example, after the robotic arm 110 rotates, when the connecting part 111 and the mating part 230 are aligned, the strong magnetic force generated by energizing the connecting part 111 and the mating part 230 are attracted and connected. After the power is turned off, the connecting part 111 and the mating part 230 are demagnetized and separated. The detachable connection method of the connecting part 111 and the mating part 230 is not absolutely limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0063] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the connection between the connecting part 111 and the mating part 230 integrates mechanical connection and power transmission signal connection. For example, multiple sets of signal pins or signal contacts are provided on the mating surfaces of the quick-change device male connector and the quick-turn device female connector to ensure that the control part of the fire robot can drive the first driving member 212, the adjusting arm 220 and the second driving member 224 to move through the connection between the connecting part 111 and the mating part 230.

[0064] By detachably connecting the connecting part 111 and the mating part 230, the connection between the robotic arm 110 and the attachment body 200 is more convenient and faster, avoiding the waste of time caused by traditional manual intervention locking.

[0065] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the robot body 100 also includes an environmental detection module 120 and a control module 130.

[0066] An environmental detection module 120 is mounted on a robotic arm 110 to detect surrounding environmental information. A control module 130 is connected to both the robotic arm 110 and the environmental detection module 120. The control module 130 is configured to identify the position of the fire water supply equipment 500 based on the environmental information transmitted by the environmental detection module 120, and to control the robotic arm 110 to move toward the fire water supply equipment 500.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the environmental detection module 120 is mounted on the free end of the robotic arm 110 and detects surrounding environmental information as the robotic arm 110 moves. The environmental detection module 120 can be a camera, lidar, or infrared sensor, etc. The environmental detection module 120 is used to identify visual features of the fire water supply equipment 500, such as color, shape markings, and corresponding height position. The control module 130 determines the position of the fire water supply equipment 500 based on the received environmental information and controls the robotic arm 110 to move towards the fire water supply equipment 500.

[0068] Here, the control module 130 can adopt processing equipment in the relevant field of fire-fighting robot technology, such as digital signal processor, embedded controller, etc. The robot body 100 autonomously moves to the vicinity of the fire-fighting water supply equipment 500 based on the environmental information detected by the environmental detection module 120. Subsequently, the control module 130 controls the robotic arm 110. According to the pose and image of the fire-fighting water supply equipment 500 determined by the environmental detection module 120, the robotic arm 110 drives the attachment body 200 to move towards the water outlet 510 of the fire-fighting water supply equipment 500.

[0069] In some embodiments, the control module 130 determines whether the outer door of the fire water supply equipment 500 is open based on the environmental information from the environmental detection module 120. If the outer door is not open, the control module 130 can choose to drive the robotic arm 110 to open the outer door, or directly break the glass of the outer door so that the hose connector 210 on the attachment body 200 is close to the water outlet 510.

[0070] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the port of the hose connector 210 is provided with a rotatable docking claw 211. The docking claw 211 is configured to connect with the limiting claw of the water outlet 510 after being driven to rotate by an external force, so as to connect the hose connector 210 and the water outlet 510.

[0071] For example, the outlet 510 of an indoor fire hydrant generally has a limiting claw that connects to an external water pipe 400, and there are two limiting claws arranged opposite each other. The connecting claw 211 has a groove or platform that is axially fastened to the limiting claw. When the connecting claw 211 is rotated to the same axial position as the limiting claw, the groove or platform on the connecting claw 211 engages with the limiting claw, forming an axial fastening between the connecting claw 211 and the limiting claw, thus completing the connection between the outlet 510 and the hose connector 210.

[0072] The slot or plate may be provided with a beveled or arc-shaped surface for transition, or the part of the docking claw 211 that is used to abut against the limiting claw is provided with an elastically deformable sealing gasket to ensure a seal. This will not be described in detail in the embodiments of this application.

[0073] Here, under the premise of ensuring smooth water flow in the hollow hose connector 210, the rotation of the docking jaw 211 driven by the externally installed first driving member 212 can refer to mature engineering solutions in related technologies. For example, the attachment body 200 is provided with a first driving member 212 for driving the rotation of the docking jaw 211. The first driving member 212 is a micro servo motor. An external gear ring is machined on the outer circumferential surface where the docking jaw 211 is located. A driving gear is provided on the output shaft of the first driving member 212. The driving gear is connected to the external gear ring for transmission. When the first driving member 212 is started, the driving gear rotates and transmits torque to the external gear ring on the docking jaw 211 through gear meshing, thereby driving the docking jaw 211 to rotate around the port of the hose connector 210.

[0074] By setting the first driving component 212 to drive the docking claw 211 to rotate, when the hose connector 210 is inserted into the outlet end 510 of the fire water supply equipment 500, the docking claw 211 rotates to cooperate with the limit claw to lock tightly, further ensuring the sealing of the outlet end 510 and the hose connector 210, and preventing the hose connector 210 from accidentally detaching from the outlet end 510 and affecting the normal operation of fire protection work.

[0075] It should be noted that, in the initial state, the docking jaw 211 is not on the same axis as the limiting jaw by default. After the hose connector 210 is inserted into the outlet end 510, the docking jaw 211 rotates 90° and engages with the limiting jaw to lock in place. This setting can prevent the limiting jaw and the docking jaw 211 from interfering with the normal connection operation when the hose connector 210 is not fully inserted into the outlet end 510.

[0076] As an alternative implementation, the docking claw 211 can be a pneumatic gripper that is driven to open or tighten in the related art. The pneumatic gripper directly clamps the limiting claw of the water outlet 510, so that the water outlet 510 and the water hose connector 210 are connected.

[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the adjusting arm 220 is rotatably connected to the attachment body 200. The adjusting member 221 is provided with a locking head 222 that rotates around its own circumference. The locking head 222 has a limiting post 223 for locking with the on / off switch 520. The locking head 222 is configured to rotate under external force to drive the on / off switch 520 to rotate through the limiting post 223, so that the rotating on / off switch 520 switches the on / off state of the water outlet 510.

[0078] In the above embodiments, the adjusting arm 220 is provided with a second driving member 224 for driving the clamp head 222 to rotate. The connection method between the second driving member 224 and the clamp head 222 can be set with reference to the connection method between the first driving member 212 and the docking claw 211, which will not be described again in this embodiment.

[0079] In this embodiment, multiple limit posts 223 are arranged at intervals, and the spacing between the multiple limit posts 223 is determined according to their positions on the on / off switch 520. Since the on / off switch 520 of the fire water supply equipment 500 is usually a valve, the limit post 223 can be inserted into the corresponding gap of the valve after the adjusting arm 220 rotates. When the clamp 222 is driven to rotate by the second driving member 224, the clamping of the limit post 223 with the valve causes the valve to be driven to rotate, thereby switching the on / off state of the water outlet 510.

[0080] In the above embodiments, the limiting post 223 may also adopt other alternative structures that can cooperate with the valve, such as a shift fork, a chuck, etc., and this application embodiment does not make an absolute limitation on this.

[0081] After the robotic arm 110 moves to the outlet 510 near the fire-fighting water supply equipment 500, the adjusting arm 220 flips relative to the attachment body 200, causing the clamp 222 to rotate and insert into the gap of the on / off switch 520. The second drive component 224 drives the clamp 222 to rotate, thereby causing the on / off switch 520 to rotate, completing the normal water discharge from the outlet 510. Through this setup, the adjusting arm 220 and the clamp 222 simulate the action of rescue personnel manually rotating the valve handwheel, eliminating manual intervention and achieving automated valve opening with a higher level of intelligence. Furthermore, since the rotation is directly powered by the handwheel gap of the on / off switch 520 itself, there is no need to modify existing fire-fighting infrastructure, making the fire-fighting robot more versatile and effectively improving operational efficiency and intelligence.

[0082] like Figure 4 As shown, the fire-fighting robot in this embodiment of the application also includes a fire extinguisher 300 and a water pipe 400 connected to the fire extinguisher 300. The end of the water pipe 400 away from the fire extinguisher 300 is connected to the water hose connector 210.

[0083] In the above embodiments, the water pipe 400 is a flexible pipe, which is stored in a hose reel. The fire extinguisher 300 can be mounted on the robot body 100 and move synchronously with the robot body 100. Alternatively, when the water pipe 400 is long, the fire extinguisher 300 can be driven by other autonomous fire-fighting equipment to perform fire extinguishing work. This embodiment does not impose absolute limitations on this. Alternatively, after the mechanical arm 110 of the fire-fighting robot completes the docking and connection work between the water outlet 510 and the hose connector 210, it disconnects the attachment body 200, and the fire-fighting robot directly drives the fire extinguisher 300 to move to the vicinity of the fire source to perform fire extinguishing work.

[0084] In some embodiments, the fire extinguishing gun 300 is equipped with a detection element 310 for detecting a fire source, and a nozzle 320 for spraying water. The position of the nozzle 320 on the fire extinguishing gun 300 is adjustable. The method for adjusting the position of the nozzle 320 on the fire extinguishing gun 300 can refer to fire extinguishing equipment in related technologies, such as driving the nozzle 320 to rotate relative to the fire extinguishing gun 300 by rotating a servo motor, or driving it by a drive motor. This will not be described in detail in the embodiments of this application.

[0085] In this embodiment, the detection element 310 includes at least one of an infrared sensor, an ultraviolet sensor, and a thermal imager. Preferably, each fire extinguisher 300 is equipped with an infrared sensor, an ultraviolet sensor, and a thermal imager. By fusing multiple detection elements 310 to locate the fire source, the accuracy of fire source identification is effectively improved. The detection element 310 continuously uses surrounding environmental attachments to identify and locate the fire source location, and then the control module 130 or other control components in the fire-fighting robot control the nozzle 320 to aim at the fire source, causing the nozzle 320 to spray water onto the fire source.

[0086] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the software methods for the fire extinguishing actions of the fire-fighting robot and the fire extinguishing logic processing method of the fire extinguisher 300 against the fire source can refer to the logic control processing settings of relevant fire-fighting robots. For example... Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the control module 130 can control the first drive component 212 and the second drive component 224 based on the data information from the environmental detection module 120 and the detection component 310. Alternatively, the robotic arm 110, the adjusting arm 220, the first drive component 212, the second drive component 224, and the nozzle 320 can be controlled as a whole through other control components. The control module 130 or other control components may employ a programmable logic processor or other algorithm control chips, which are not absolutely limited in this embodiment.

[0087] An exemplary usage process of the fire-fighting robot in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0088] When a fire occurs, the robot body 100 identifies the fire water supply equipment 500 in the surrounding environment through the environmental detection module 120 and moves toward the fire water supply equipment 500. After approaching the fire water supply equipment 500, the robotic arm 110 moves into the interior of the fire water supply equipment 500. It connects with the attachment body 200 through the connecting part 111 on the robotic arm 110 and the mating part 230 on the attachment body 200, which drives the water hose connector 210 on the attachment body 200 to be inserted into the water outlet 510 of the fire water supply equipment 500. At this time, the first driving member 212 drives the docking claw 211 to rotate and engage with the limiting claw of the water outlet 510 to lock the water outlet 510 and the water hose connector 210.

[0089] Next, the drive adjustment arm 220 rotates 180° relative to the attachment body 200, so that the limiting post 223 of the adjustment member 221 is inserted into the handwheel gap of the on / off switch 520. The second drive member 224 drives the locking head 222 to rotate, and the limiting post 223 drives the on / off switch 520 to rotate. The water output from the water outlet 510 enters the fire extinguisher 300 through the water hose connector 210. After the detection member 310 on the fire extinguisher 300 detects the fire source position, it positions and tracks to adjust the angle of the nozzle 320, so that the nozzle 320 is facing the fire source and sprays water towards the fire source position.
