[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] Please see Figures 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: an intelligent robot for inspecting instruments and meters in a computer room, used for inspecting instruments, including:
[0030] The robot body 1 is equipped with a first camera 13 located at the front of the robot body 1. The first camera 13 is used to detect the environment in front of the robot body 1 and to illuminate the environment of the robot body 1. The robot body 1 is equipped with second sensors 9 on both the front and rear sides. The second sensors 9 are anti-fall sensors to ensure that the robot remains stable when moving and to prevent the robot from falling. The robot body 1 is also equipped with an emergency stop switch 3 to shut down the robot's drive in an emergency. The robot body 1 is also equipped with a network card antenna 14 to receive signals from the host computer. The robot body 1 is also equipped with a first sensor 4, which is a laser sensor to detect the surrounding environment and prevent the robot from scraping against things and falling over when moving.
[0031] Using the robot body 1 as a carrier, the robot receives wireless control signals through the network card antenna 14 to achieve drive control during operation. During movement, the first camera 13 at the front of the robot body 1 detects the environment in real time, the first sensor 4 laser sensor detects the surrounding environment to avoid scratches, and the second sensors 9 on the front and rear sides monitor the road surface to ensure smooth movement and prevent falls. In case of emergency, the drive can be shut off in an emergency by using the emergency stop switch 3. All components work together to ensure that the robot can complete the inspection operation safely and stably.
[0032] Push rod 15 is mounted on the machine body 1. A hydraulic press is installed in the machine body 1. The hydraulic press drives push rod 15 to move up and down. Second camera 16 is a dual-spectrum camera used to detect instruments in the machine room. Second camera 16 is located at one end of push rod 15. Push rod 15 pushes second camera 16 to move and adjusts the height of second camera 16.
[0033] Supported by the body 1, the push rod 15 is driven by the hydraulic press in the body 1 to move up and down; since the second camera 16, which is a dual-spectrum camera, is located at one end of the push rod 15, the push rod 15 can push the second camera 16 to adjust its height during the up and down movement, so that the second camera 16 can be adapted to the instruments and meters in the computer room at different heights and complete the accurate detection of the instruments and meters.
[0034] An environmental monitoring unit, located on the main body 1, is used to monitor the environment around the main body 1. The environmental monitoring unit includes: a microphone 12 located on the main body 1, used to detect sound around the main body 1; a fourth sensor 11 located on the main body 1, which is a humidity sensor, used to detect the air humidity in the machine room; and a third sensor 10 located on the main body 1, which is an SF6 sensor, designed for detecting sulfur hexafluoride in the air. It can effectively monitor the concentration of sulfur hexafluoride and promptly alarm when the limit is exceeded to remind people to avoid harm.
[0035] The environmental monitoring unit is installed on the main body 1. During operation, the microphone 12 installed on the main body 1 detects the ambient sound in real time to capture abnormal sounds. At the same time, the fourth sensor 11, which is also a humidity sensor, continuously monitors the air humidity in the computer room. The third sensor 10, which is also an SF6 sensor, specifically monitors the concentration of sulfur hexafluoride in the air. When the concentration exceeds the limit, it will promptly sound an alarm to remind personnel to avoid risks. All components work together to achieve comprehensive monitoring of the environment around the main body 1 in multiple dimensions.
[0036] An energy drive unit is located on the body 1 and is used to drive the robot to move. The energy drive unit includes: a battery in the body 1, a charging interface 5 on the body 1 for charging the battery, a power switch 6 on the body 1 for starting the robot, and a charging electrode 2 on the body 1. The charging interface 5, the power switch 6, and the charging electrode 2 are all connected to the battery.
[0037] The energy drive unit is located on the body 1, with the battery in the body 1 as the core power supply component. The charging interface 5 and charging electrode 2 on the body 1 are both connected to the battery, and the battery can be replenished with power through the two. The power switch 6 on the body 1 is also connected to the battery and is used to control the battery to supply power to the robot drive system to start the robot. All components work together to provide continuous energy support for the robot's movement.
[0038] Of course, a central processing module is also installed inside the robot. The central processing module is connected to the emergency stop switch 3, the first sensor 4, the second sensor, the third sensor, the fourth sensor, the microphone, the first camera, the network card antenna, the second camera, and the hydraulic press circuit. The central processing module can receive signal information from the first sensor 4, the second sensor, the third sensor, the fourth sensor, the microphone, the first camera, the network card antenna, and the second camera, and then transmit the received signal information to the host computer through the network card antenna. Alternatively, it can control the robot based on the received signal information. For example, the second sensor 9 on the front and rear sides is a fall prevention sensor to monitor the road surface to ensure smooth movement and prevent falls. In case of emergency, the central processing module can shut down the robot in an emergency through the emergency stop switch 3. If the third sensor 10 detects that the concentration of sulfur hexafluoride in the air exceeds the standard, it can alarm the host computer or control the emergency stop switch 3 to shut down the robot. Of course, the central processing module can also drive the hydraulic press to work, thereby enabling the second camera 16 to be adapted to the instruments and meters in the computer room at different heights.
[0039] The transmission unit is located on the body 1 and is used to transmit information in the body 1. The transmission unit includes a first interface 7 and a second interface 8 provided on the body 1. The first interface 7 is an HDMI interface for connecting to a display, and the second interface 8 is a USB interface for connecting other peripherals. The first interface 7 and the second interface 8 are used for connecting to different models.
[0040] The transmission unit is located on the main body 1 and is mainly used to transmit various types of information in the main body 1. The first interface 7 on the main body 1 is an HDMI interface, which can be connected to a monitor to output relevant information. The second interface 8 is a USB interface, which can be connected to other peripherals to realize information interaction. The two interfaces are designed to connect to different models of devices and work together to complete the information transmission between the main body 1 and external devices.
[0041] When using the intelligent robot for inspecting instruments in the computer room, it is first started through the energy drive unit: the battery inside the body 1 powers the entire machine, and the operator starts the robot through the power switch 6. When the battery power is low, it can be replenished through the charging interface 5 or the charging electrode 2. After starting, the robot receives wireless control signals through the network card antenna 14 to achieve drive control. During movement, the first camera 13 at the front of the body 1 detects the environment ahead, the first sensor 4 (also known as the laser sensor) detects the surroundings to avoid scratches, and the second sensors 9 on the front and rear sides (also known as the anti-fall sensors) monitor the road surface to ensure smooth movement. In case of emergency, the emergency stop switch 3 can be operated to shut down the drive and ensure safe movement. When inspecting instruments, the push rod 15 on the body 1 is driven up and down by the built-in hydraulic press, which moves the second camera 16 (also known as the dual-spectrum camera) at one end to adjust the height to adapt to instruments of different heights and complete the inspection. At the same time, the environmental monitoring unit works continuously: the microphone 12 detects the surrounding sound, the fourth sensor 11 (also known as the humidity sensor) monitors the air humidity, and the third sensor 10 (also known as the SF6 sensor) monitors the concentration of sulfur hexafluoride and alarms when it exceeds the standard. Finally, the transmission unit connects to the display to output information through the first interface 7, also known as the HDMI interface, on the main body 1, and connects to peripherals through the second interface 8, also known as the USB interface, to achieve interaction. All units work together to complete the entire process inspection operation.
[0042] Of course, the central processing module in this embodiment can adopt the central processing unit structure of common robots on the market. The central processing module's receiving of signals, processing of signals, and control of robot movement based on signals are all relatively conventional existing technologies, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0043] 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.
