Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of road inspection robots, and more particularly to an intelligent road inspection robot. Background Technology
[0002] Road inspection robots are intelligent devices that integrate autonomous movement, multi-dimensional perception, and intelligent analysis. They are mainly used for automated detection of defects (such as cracks and potholes) in infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and tunnels. They feature efficient inspection, real-time early warning, data management, and strong environmental adaptability, significantly improving inspection efficiency and safety levels. This drives the transformation of infrastructure management towards intelligent and preventative maintenance. In conventional road inspection robots, several rollers are mounted on the surface of the robot body. The robot body uses L4-level autonomous driving technology, controlling the rotation of the rollers to facilitate movement. A camera is fixedly installed on the top of the robot body. Combined with the LiDAR inside the robot body, the camera senses the environment, enabling autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and passage through narrow roads in complex scenarios. The camera also records the external environment and uploads the data to the cloud, allowing staff to remotely inspect the road condition.
[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that during the inspection process, since roads are mostly in open-air environments, rain and snow can easily fall on the surface of the inspection robot's camera equipment, affecting the robot's perception of the external environment and the inspection effect, thus causing inconvenience in the use of the inspection robot.
[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the issue that the camera equipment of road inspection robots is easily obstructed during rainy or snowy weather, this application provides an intelligent road inspection robot.
[0006] The intelligent road inspection robot provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: An intelligent road inspection robot includes a robot body and a connecting frame. A camera mechanism is rotatably mounted on the top of the robot body, and several rollers are rotatably connected to the surface of the robot body. The rollers are divided into two groups, which are symmetrically distributed about the robot body. A cover is rotatably mounted on the top of the connecting frame. An electric push rod is rotatably connected to one end of the cover. A rotating block is rotatably mounted on one end of the electric push rod. The bottom end of the connecting frame is engaged with the top of the camera mechanism. One end of the electric push rod is electrically connected to one end of the robot body via a wire. One end of the rotating block is fixedly mounted to the surface of the camera mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the connecting frame has a slot inside, the inner wall of the slot is engaged with a limiting frame, the bottom end of the limiting frame is rotatably connected to a fixed seat, and the bottom end of the fixed seat is fixedly installed to the top of the camera mechanism.
[0008] Preferably, a fixing spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing seat, and one end of the fixing spring is engaged with one end of the limiting frame.
[0009] Preferably, a plurality of diverting blocks are fixedly installed on the top of the shielding cover. The cross-section of the diverting blocks is V-shaped, and the size of the bottom of the diverting blocks is compatible with the size of the top of the shielding cover.
[0010] Preferably, a rotating frame is rotatably connected to the surface of the inspection robot body, and a connecting cylinder is fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating frame. A brush body is snapped into the inner wall of the connecting cylinder, and the surface of the brush body is slidably connected to the surface of the roller.
[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the connecting cylinder is threaded with a fixing bolt, the surface of the fixing bolt is engaged with the inner wall of the brush body, and the center of the fixing bolt is on the same straight line as the center of the connecting cylinder.
[0012] Preferably, an auxiliary spring is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating frame, and one end of the auxiliary spring is engaged with the surface of the inspection robot body.
[0013] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By installing a connecting frame on top of the inspection robot body, a shield is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting frame. An electric push rod is rotatably installed at one end of the shield. One end of the electric push rod is fixed to the surface of the inspection robot body via a rotating block, so that the shield can be adjusted to follow the rotation of the camera mechanism and thus shield the top of the camera mechanism. The connecting frame has a slot inside, and a limit frame is engaged with the inner wall of the slot. The bottom end of the limit frame is connected to the top of the camera mechanism via a fixed seat, so that the limit frame can be separated from the slot, making it easier to disassemble the connecting frame and making it more convenient to inspect the camera mechanism. A fixing spring is fixedly installed on the surface of the fixed seat to engage the limit frame with the slot, thereby preventing the limit frame from disengaging from the slot. Several diverting blocks are fixedly installed on the top of the shield to divert rain and snow, preventing rain and snow from sliding from the front edge of the shield onto the surface of the camera mechanism. Compared with existing technologies, this effectively improves the performance of the inspection robot in complex environments. 2. A rotating frame can also be installed on the surface of the inspection robot body. Brushes are installed at both ends of the rotating frame via connecting cylinders to remove impurities from the roller surface. The inner wall of the connecting cylinder is threaded with fixing bolts to facilitate the replacement and cleaning of the brushes after the fixing bolts are removed. An auxiliary spring is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating frame to keep the brushes in contact with the roller surface, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the brushes and effectively improving the use effect of the device.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0017] This application discloses an intelligent road inspection robot, referring to... Figure 1- Figure 2 The system includes an inspection robot body 1. During use, several rollers 3 are mounted on the surface of the robot body 1. The robot body 1 employs L4 level autonomous driving technology, controlling the rotation of the rollers 3 to facilitate movement. A camera module 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the robot body 1. Combined with the lidar inside the robot body 1, the camera module 2 collaboratively perceives the environment, enabling autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and passage through narrow roads in complex scenarios. The camera module 2 records the external environment and uploads the data to the cloud, allowing staff to remotely inspect road conditions. The frame 4 is installed on the top of the inspection robot body 1. A cover 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the frame 4. An electric push rod 6 is rotatably installed on one end of the cover 5. A rotating block 7 is rotatably connected to one end of the electric push rod 6. One end of the rotating block 7 is fixedly installed on the surface of the inspection robot body 1. The cover 5 is rotated by controlling its own length with the electric push rod 6, which facilitates the adjustment of the angle by following the rotation of the camera mechanism 2. The cover 5 covers the top of the camera mechanism 2, which effectively improves the use effect of the inspection robot in complex environments, thereby avoiding the problem that the inspection effect is affected by rain and snow on the surface of the camera mechanism 2.
[0018] Reference Figure 2 The connecting frame 4 has a slot 8 inside, and a limit frame 9 is engaged with the inner wall of the slot 8. A fixing seat 11 is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the limit frame 9. The bottom end of the fixing seat 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the camera assembly 2. By engaging the limit frame 9 with the slot 8, the connecting frame 4 is fixed to the top of the camera assembly 2, and the limit frame 9 is separated from the slot 8, making it easier to disassemble the connecting frame 4 and more convenient for maintenance of the camera assembly 2. A fixing spring 10 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the fixing seat 11. One end of the spring 10 is engaged with one end of the limiting frame 9. The limiting frame 9 is pushed by the fixed spring 10 to engage with the slot 8, thereby preventing the limiting frame 9 from disengaging from the slot 8. As an elastic element, the fixed spring 10 can achieve a precise and stable limiting function through its reliable elastic characteristics when not under load. Several diverting blocks 12 are fixedly installed on the top of the cover 5. The diverting blocks 12 are used to divert rain and snow to prevent rain and snow from sliding from the front edge of the cover 5 onto the surface of the camera mechanism 2.
[0019] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 4A rotating frame 13 is installed on the surface of the inspection robot body 1. Connecting cylinders 14 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating frame 13. A brush body 15 is snapped into the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 14. One end of the brush body 15 is slidably connected to the surface of the roller 3. The brush body 15 removes impurities from the surface of the roller 3, preventing hair or lint from adhering to the surface of the roller 3 and restricting its movement, thus affecting the inspection effect of the inspection robot. A fixing bolt 16 is threaded onto the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 14. One end of the fixing bolt 16... The brush body 15 is snapped onto the surface of the roller 3 by means of the fixing bolt 16. The fixing bolt 16 can be easily installed in the connecting cylinder 14, and the brush body 15 can be easily replaced and cleaned after the fixing bolt 16 is removed, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the brush body 15 on the roller 3. An auxiliary spring 17 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating frame 13. One end of the auxiliary spring 17 is snapped onto the surface of the inspection robot body 1. The auxiliary spring 17 controls the rotation of the rotating frame 13, so that the brush body 15 keeps in contact with the surface of the roller 3, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the brush body 15.
[0020] The implementation principle of an intelligent road inspection robot according to this application embodiment is as follows: A connecting frame 4 is installed on the top of the inspection robot body 1. A cover 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting frame 4. An electric push rod 6 is rotatably installed at one end of the cover 5. A rotating block 7 is rotatably connected to one end of the electric push rod 6. One end of the rotating block 7 is fixedly installed on the surface of the inspection robot body 1, so that the cover 5 can be rotated by controlling its own length with the electric push rod 6. This facilitates angle adjustment by following the rotation of the camera mechanism 2. The cover 5 covers the top of the camera mechanism 2, thus avoiding the problem of rain and snow affecting the inspection effect. A slot 8 is provided inside the connecting frame 4. A limit frame 9 is engaged on the inner wall of the slot 8. A fixed seat 11 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the limit frame 9. The bottom of the fixed seat 11 is connected to the camera. The top of the frame 2 is fixedly connected so that the limiting bracket 9 can be engaged with the slot 8, thereby fixing the connecting bracket 4 to the top of the camera frame 2 and separating the limiting bracket 9 from the slot 8, making it easier to disassemble the connecting bracket 4 and making it more convenient to maintain the camera frame 2. A fixing spring 10 is fixedly installed on the surface of the fixing base 11. One end of the fixing spring 10 is engaged with one end of the limiting bracket 9 so that the limiting bracket 9 can be pushed by the fixing spring 10 to engage the limiting bracket 9 with the slot 8, thereby preventing the limiting bracket 9 from disengaging from the slot 8. As an elastic element, the fixing spring 10 can achieve a precise and stable limiting function through its reliable elastic characteristics when not under load. Several diverting blocks 12 are fixedly installed on the top of the cover 5 so that rain and snow can be diverted by the diverting blocks 12 to prevent rain and snow from sliding from the front edge of the cover 5 onto the surface of the camera frame 2.
[0021] A rotating frame 13 can also be installed on the surface of the inspection robot body 1. Connecting cylinders 14 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating frame 13. A brush body 15 is snapped into the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 14. One end of the brush body 15 is slidably connected to the surface of the roller 3, so as to remove impurities from the surface of the roller 3 with the help of the brush body 15. This avoids the problem of hair or thread adhering to the surface of the roller 3, which would restrict the movement of the roller 3 and affect the inspection effect of the inspection robot. A fixing bolt 16 is threaded onto the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 14. One end of the fixing bolt 16 is connected to... The brush body 15 is snapped onto the surface to facilitate its installation inside the connecting cylinder 14 using the fixing bolt 16. Removing the fixing bolt 16 allows for easy replacement and cleaning of the brush body 15, thus ensuring the cleaning effect of the brush body 15 on the roller 3. An auxiliary spring 17 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating frame 13. One end of the auxiliary spring 17 is snapped onto the surface of the inspection robot body 1, so that the rotating frame 13 can be controlled to rotate using the auxiliary spring 17, keeping the brush body 15 in contact with the surface of the roller 3, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the brush body 15.
[0022] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
