Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of track technology, specifically a track system for a track-mounted inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] As the service life of railway passenger station steel structures increases, problems such as steel component corrosion, loose bolts, weld cracks, and metal roof leaks have occurred across the railway network, seriously affecting the safe operation of the railway. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct daily inspections of the steel components of passenger stations.

[0003] At present, the patrol method, which is mainly based on visual inspection, cannot conduct daily inspections of steel structures in concealed spaces such as ceilings. Due to atmospheric corrosion, train wind vibration, roof leakage and other reasons, the structural components in concealed spaces are more susceptible to corrosion and damage. Some structural components are more prone to rust and breakage due to their thin walls, which seriously threatens structural safety. The metal roof of the passenger station is prone to leakage under extreme weather conditions such as rainstorms and typhoons, but the leakage points cannot be detected in time and are not easy to find, which seriously affects the waiting experience of passengers.

[0016] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a track system for a rail-mounted inspection robot, including a straight guide rail 1, a curved guide rail 2, a first connector 3, a second connector 4, a first bolt 5, and a hanger assembly 6. The top of the straight guide rail 1 and the curved guide rail 2 are provided with a first groove 7, and the outer surface of the straight guide rail 1 and the curved guide rail 2 is provided with a second groove 8 and a robot slide 9. The first connector 3 is set inside the first groove 7 by the first bolt 5, and the second connector 4 is set inside the second groove 8 by the first bolt 5. The hanger assembly 6 includes a lower fixed seat 61, a hanger rod 62, an upper fixed seat 63, a second bolt 66, and a third bolt 69. The bottom of the lower fixed seat 61 is fixedly connected to a lower mounting plate 64, and the top of the upper fixed seat 63 is fixedly connected to an upper mounting plate 65. The outer surfaces of the lower fixed seat 61 and the upper fixed seat 63 are both provided with limit holes 68, and the outer surface of the hanger rod 62 is provided with a mounting groove 67.

[0017] Specifically, the outer surface of the first connector 3 is fitted and adapted to the inner surface of the first groove 7, and the outer surface of the second connector 4 is fitted and adapted to the inner surface of the second groove 8.

[0018] Specifically, the first groove 7 and the robot slide 9 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the straight guide rail 1 and the curved guide rail 2, and the hanger assembly 6 is arranged on the upper surface of the straight guide rail 1 and the curved guide rail 2.

[0019] Specifically, the lower mounting plate 64 is connected to the straight guide rail 1 and the curved guide rail 2 by the second bolt 66, and the mounting groove 67 is provided at the top and bottom of the outer surface of the rod 62.

[0020] Specifically, the lower fixing seat 61 is located at the bottom end of the lifting rod 62, and the upper fixing seat 63 is located at the top end of the lifting rod 62.

[0021] Specifically, the outer surface of the third bolt 69 is adapted to the interior of the mounting groove 67 and the limiting hole 68, and the lifting rod 62 is connected to the lower fixed seat 61 and the upper fixed seat 63 through the third bolt 69.

[0022] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above embodiments.

[0023] In use, assemble the straight guide rail 1 and the curved guide rail 2 as needed. When assembling two adjacent sets of straight guide rails 1, insert the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 into the first groove 7 and the second groove 8 respectively, and position the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 at the connection point of the two adjacent sets of straight guide rails 1. Align the mounting holes on the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 with the mounting holes in the first groove 7 and the second groove 8, and install the first bolt 5 into the mounting hole, so that the two adjacent sets of straight guide rails 1 are assembled together and the ends of the two adjacent sets of straight guide rails 1 are pressed together. The straight guide rail 1 and the curved guide rail The components 2 are also assembled in the same way described above. The hanger assembly 6 is installed on the straight guide rail 1 and the curved guide rail 2 by the second bolt 66. As needed, the third bolt 69 is installed in the limiting hole 68 at the appropriate position to adjust the overall height of the hanger assembly 6. Then, the hanger assembly 6 is hung on the upper mounting plate 65 and mounting bolts to complete the installation of the entire track system. The pulleys of the rail-mounted intelligent inspection robot are installed in the robot slide 9. The rail-mounted intelligent inspection robot moves to the corresponding inspection area through the mounted track system, and at the same time, it lifts and lowers itself. The gimbal or robotic arm expands the inspection range, comprehensively collecting status information of the metal mesh structure. It can utilize a track system to achieve sliding contact line power supply and simultaneously radiate weak current signal transmission lines, enabling 24 / 7 uninterrupted comprehensive inspection while ensuring signal transmission stability. The straight guide rail 1 and curved guide rail 2 are made of high-rigidity and wear-resistant materials, ensuring that the guide rails do not deform excessively under external forces. This prevents vibration and displacement problems caused by inertial forces, acceleration, and other external forces during the industrial robot's movement, thus preventing [unclear - possibly related to performance issues]. To ensure the precision of the robot, industrial robots typically operate under high load and high frequency conditions. The moving guide rail must be able to withstand the challenges posed by these conditions and remain stable and reliable. Industrial robots usually operate continuously on the production line for long periods of time, so the moving guide rail must have good wear resistance to ensure that it will not wear out or be damaged during long-term use, thereby extending the robot's service life. Dustproof coating, waterproof coating, and insulating coating are applied to the outer surface of the straight guide rail 1 and the curved guide rail 2, giving the guide rail good dustproof, waterproof, and anti-interference capabilities to adapt to different working environments.
