Although it blocks dust and rainwater to a certain extent, there is a conflict between sealing and heat dissipation. The heat dissipation of existing robots usually adopts an electric cooling system. In the process of cooling the robot, the robot's power is consumed, which will affect the robot's battery life. To address the aforementioned issues, an inspection robot equipped with a dustproof and waterproof shell is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model utilizes the high thermal conductivity of aluminum to create an aluminum body and air duct, enabling rapid heat exchange between the robot body and the air during robot movement. The air duct runs through the middle of the body, and the airflow generated by the robot's movement enters the air duct. The air guide holes, through holes, and the cavity of the heat-conducting baffle keep the robot dustproof and waterproof while heat is transferred to the cavity through the heat-conducting baffle and then carried away by the airflow through the air guide holes and through holes, thus achieving heat dissipation for the robot's internal components.

[0016] 2. This utility model, through the setting of a conical cover, sealing gasket and arc block, allows the conical cover to guide rainwater to slide to both sides, preventing water from accumulating and seeping in from the top of the cover. The sealing gasket between the machine body and the cover forms a ring-shaped sealing strip. The machine body and the cover are connected and fixed to form a closed integrated ring structure. The sealing gasket blocks dust and rainwater from entering from the top gap, thus playing a role in dustproofing and waterproofing.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] like Figure 1 - Figure 8As shown, this utility model provides an inspection robot equipped with a dustproof and waterproof shell, including a body 1. The body 1 is made of aluminum, which makes the robot lightweight and reduces power consumption. At the same time, aluminum has thermal conductivity and heat dissipation effect. A cover 7 is installed on the top of the body 1, and a sealing gasket 9 is provided between the body 1 and the cover 7. This is designed to seal the connection between the body 1 and the cover 7. A wind duct 6 is provided in the middle of the body 1. The wind duct 6 runs through the middle of the body 1 and is made of aluminum. During the robot's movement, the air passes through the wind duct 6 and through the middle of the body 1. The heat received by the body 1 in the wind duct 6 is exchanged with the air to dissipate heat from the body 1. Detectors 2 are installed on both outer walls of the body 1 to detect road conditions; A connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the body 1, and a lifting mechanism 5 is installed at the bottom of the body 1. The lifting mechanism 5 moves up and down along the connecting rod 11. The top of the lifting mechanism 5 is equipped with four anti-slip wheels 3, and the top of the lifting mechanism 5 is equipped with a motor 4. The output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to the anti-slip wheels 3. The purpose of this design is to prevent the anti-slip wheel 3 from slipping when the robot passes over a wet and slippery surface. The output shaft of the motor 4 drives the anti-slip wheel 3, and the height of the robot body 1 is raised or lowered through the lifting mechanism 5. The motor 4 is a waterproof motor.

[0030] Two arc-shaped protrusions 8 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air duct 6. The two arc-shaped protrusions 8 are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower inner walls of the air duct 6. The purpose of this design is to allow the air duct 6 to take in air at low speed, flow through it at high speed, and exit quickly under the action of the two arc-shaped protrusions 8, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency.

[0031] The interior of the body 1 is provided with several heat-conducting baffles 63, which are connected to each other to form several chambers. One side of the heat-conducting baffles 63 is connected to the outer wall of the air duct 6. The purpose of this arrangement is that several heat-conducting baffles 63 conduct heat to the interior of each chamber, and the heat is further transferred to the air duct 6.

[0032] The outer wall of the port of the air duct 6 is provided with air guide holes 61, which extend into the interior of the air duct 6 to form an airflow channel; The purpose of this design is to allow some airflow to pass through the air guide holes 61 and flow into the interior of the airflow channel, thereby increasing the throughput of the air duct 6.

[0033] A through hole 62 is provided on the inner wall of the airflow channel, and the through hole 62 extends to the outer wall of the heat-conducting baffle 63; The purpose of this design is to carry away the heat from the heat-conducting baffle 63 when there is airflow inside the airflow channel.

[0034] The heat-conducting baffle 63 has a cavity 64 inside, and the cavity 64 is connected to the through hole 62. The purpose of this arrangement is to transfer heat from the heat-conducting baffle 63 inside the cavity, while the airflow inside the airflow channel is relatively fast. Heat inside the cavity is drawn into the airflow channel through the through hole 62, thereby conducting heat to the heat-conducting baffle 63 and its cavity.

[0035] Arc-shaped blocks 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the body 1, and the two arc-shaped blocks 10 are distributed on both sides of the port of the air duct 6; The purpose of this design is to reduce the wind resistance on the front side of the body 1 by the arc-shaped block 10, thereby reducing the robot's driving resistance and guiding the airflow towards the outside of the body 1 and the direction of the air duct 6.

[0036] The outer wall of detector 2 is formed into an arc surface. The arc surface reduces dust adhesion and also reduces air resistance.

[0037] The top of the cover 7 is tapered to prevent water from accumulating on top of the robot.

[0038] The lifting mechanism 5 includes an electric telescopic rod 51 and a base plate 52. The electric telescopic rod 51 is installed at the bottom of the body 1, and the base plate 52 is connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 51. The base plate 52 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 11. Four anti-slip wheels 3 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the base plate 52, and the motor 4 is installed on the outer wall of the base plate 52. The purpose of this design is that when the robot is flooded, the electric telescopic rod 51 pushes the base plate 52 to slide downward along the connecting rod 11, causing the anti-slip wheel 3 to move away from the body 1, raising the bottom height of the body 1, and preventing water from entering the body 1. After passing through the water area, the electric telescopic rod 51 shortens and the base plate 52 returns to its original position.

[0039] Working principle: When it rains, the inclined surface of the conical cover 7 guides the rainwater to slide down to both sides of the body 1, preventing rainwater from accumulating on the top. The sealing gasket 9 between the body 1 and the cover 7 fits tightly with the body 1 and the cover 7 to form an integrated structure, thereby playing a role in dust and water protection.

[0040] The body 1 and the air duct 6 are made of aluminum. The heat generated by the internal electronic components is quickly transferred to the outer wall of the air duct 6 through the heat-conducting baffle 63. At the same time, the cavity 64 inside the heat-conducting baffle 63 expands the heat dissipation area, so that the heat is evenly distributed in the heat-conducting baffle 63 and avoids local overheating. The heat on the heat-conducting baffle 63 is transferred inside the cavity. The airflow inside the airflow channel is relatively fast. The heat inside the cavity is drawn into the airflow channel through the through hole 62, thereby conducting heat to the heat-conducting baffle 63 and its cavity.

[0041] When the robot moves, the airflow generated enters the air duct 6. The arc-shaped protrusions 8 on the inner wall of the air duct 6 guide the airflow in. Under the action of the two arc-shaped protrusions 8, the air duct 6 is able to take in air at low speed, flow through at high speed, and exit quickly, thereby accelerating the heat conduction efficiency. Several heat-conducting baffles 63 conduct heat to the interior of each chamber, and the heat is further transferred to the air duct 6. When there is airflow inside the airflow channel, it will carry away the heat on the heat-conducting baffles 63.

[0042] When the robot is flooded, the electric telescopic rod 51 pushes the base plate 52 to slide downward along the connecting rod 11, causing the anti-slip wheel 3 to move away from the robot body 1, raising the bottom height of the robot body 1, and preventing water from entering the robot body 1. After passing through the water area, the electric telescopic rod 51 shortens and the base plate 52 returns to its original position.

[0043] When the output shaft of motor 4 drives the anti-slip wheel 3 to rotate, the anti-slip wheel 3 is made of rubber to prevent slipping, so that the robot can travel on wet and slippery ground and prevent it from slipping.

[0044] The curved surface of the outer wall of detector 2 reduces dust adhesion. During inspection, the airflow passes through the curved surface and can carry away the dust on the surface. During the journey, detector 2 is used to detect and inspect the road conditions.

[0045] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
