Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary tools for rail-mounted robots, and in particular to a charging house for rail-mounted robots. Background Technology

[0002] A track-mounted robot (also known as a suspended track robot) is a robot that can be suspended on a track and move along the track. Due to its high flexibility and space utilization, it is widely used in places such as power rooms, large warehouses, factory workshops, power distribution stations, substations, highway tunnels, shopping malls, underground utility tunnels, and enclosed coal yards.

[0003] To facilitate charging of the track-mounted robot, a charging device is usually installed at a fixed position on the track (as shown in patent application number CN202111560429.2). The track-mounted robot slides along the track to the charging device and plugs in the charging interface of the charging device to realize the charging operation of the track-mounted robot.

[0004] When track-mounted robots are used in fields such as energy and power, transportation infrastructure, and petrochemicals, they need to be used outdoors. In this case, the track-mounted robots are constantly exposed to the elements. Similarly, the interface of the charging device is also exposed to a humid environment for a long time, which can easily shorten the service life of the charging equipment and increase maintenance costs. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a charging house suitable for track-mounted robots. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a charging house for rail-mounted robots. The charging house can at least prevent the charging device's interface from being exposed to sun and rain, ensuring the lifespan of the charging device. It can also provide a sheltered space for temporary storage of the rail-mounted robot, reducing the robot's exposure time to sun and rain and extending the time before the robot's appearance deteriorates.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a charging house for a track-mounted robot, comprising a main body that is installed in conjunction with a track. The track has a suspension part for the movement of the track-mounted robot, and a fixing part connected to the suspension part without affecting the movement of the track-mounted robot; the main body is connected to the fixing part. The main body has a shielding part that covers the track and a connecting part that connects to the shielding part. The vertical projection of the shielding part completely covers the vertical projection of the track-mounted robot, and the connecting part is fixedly connected to the fixing part.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: Understandably, the charging station needs to be fixed to the track in order to be suitable for outdoor environments. Therefore, the charging station must be installed in conjunction with the track.

[0008] Since the track-mounted robot needs to move back and forth along the track's length, the charging house can be fixed at any position on the track, but it must not affect the robot's movement. Therefore, the overall structure of the charging house needs to be designed based on the track's structure. Assuming the track is an I-beam track, and the robot is mounted on the upper side of the track's lower bottom, with the upper bottom of the track unsupported, we can consider the suspension part of the track as the lower middle part and the fixing part as the upper bottom (top plate). Fixing the charging house above this fixing part allows for the installation of the charging house on the track without affecting the robot's reciprocating movement along its length.

[0009] The main body of the charging house includes a shielding part and a connecting part. The connecting part and the fixing part can be detachably connected by bolts or fixedly connected by welding, used to connect the main body to the fixing part. The shielding part can be a simple plate structure or other structures. Since the vertical projection of the shielding part completely covers the vertical projection of the rail-mounted robot, it means that the shielding part completely covers the rail-mounted robot. Therefore, the shielding part must cover the charging interface of the rail-mounted robot. When the charging device is placed under the main body, the charging interface of the charging device and the rail-mounted robot must also be under the vertical shadow of the shielding part. The shielding part can shield the interface of the charging device, at least preventing rainwater from entering the interface of the charging device in the vertical direction, protecting the charging equipment of the rail-mounted robot from rainwater corrosion, increasing the service life of the charging device, and reducing maintenance costs. Meanwhile, due to the presence of the shield, when the rail-mounted robot does not need to be inspected, it can be paused in the shade of the shield through program control (PLC control program), avoiding the rail-mounted robot being exposed to the wind and sun in the outdoor environment at all times, slowing down the weathering effect on the exterior of the rail-mounted robot, and providing a protective environment for the rail-mounted robot.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes at least one auxiliary protective plate, which is located on one side of the track along its length and extends along the length of the track, and the auxiliary protective plate is connected to the shield and / or to the connecting part.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two auxiliary protective plates, which are respectively located on both sides of the track along its length and spaced apart.

[0012] Furthermore, the shielding part includes a support frame and a shielding plate disposed on the support frame. The shielding plate is distributed in a spreading manner along the length and width of the track, and the support frame is fixed to the connecting part.

[0013] Furthermore, the baffle plate has a guide plate structure that is high in the middle and low on both sides or high on one side and low on the other.

[0014] Furthermore, the support frame includes at least one fixed rod, at least one transition rod, and at least one reinforcing rod that are fixed to the baffle plate, wherein the transition rod is fixed to the fixed rod, the reinforcing rod is fixed to the transition rod, or the reinforcing rod is fixed to both the transition rod and the fixed rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the connecting part includes a connecting plate that fits into the fixing part and a locking member for locking the connecting plate and the fixing part. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a charging house for a track-mounted robot includes a body 100, which is installed in conjunction with a track 200. The track 200 has a suspension part for the movement of the track-mounted robot and a fixing part connected to the suspension part without affecting the movement of the track-mounted robot. The body 100 is connected to the fixing part. The body 100 has a shielding part 110 covering the track 200 and a connecting part connected to the shielding part 110. The vertical projection of the shielding part 110 completely covers the vertical projection of the track-mounted robot. The connecting part is fixedly connected to the fixing part.

[0020] Understandably, the charging station needs to be fixed to the track 200 in order to be suitable for outdoor environments. Therefore, the charging station must be installed in conjunction with the track 200.

[0021] Since the track-mounted robot needs to move back and forth along the length of track 200, the charging house can be fixed at any position on track 200, but it cannot affect the movement of the track-mounted robot. Therefore, the overall structure of the charging house needs to be set based on the structure of track 200.

[0022] Assuming track 200 is an I-beam track 200, and the track-mounted robot (as shown in patent applications CN202311830833.6, CN202510773598.6, CN202211194567.8, etc.) is mounted on the upper side of the lower bottom of track 200, while the upper bottom of track 200 is empty, then the suspension part of track 200 can be considered as the lower middle part of track 200, and the fixing part as the upper bottom (top plate) of track 200. Then, by fixing the charging house above the fixing part, the installation of the charging house and track 200 can be achieved without affecting the reciprocating movement of the track-mounted robot along the length of track 200.

[0023] Of course, the cooperation between the track 200 and the rail-mounted robot can also be as shown in the patent application number CN202110951414.2. The track 200 is a solid rectangular steel, and the rail-mounted robot is clamped and suspended along the upper and lower sides of the track 200. However, the guide wheels above the rail-mounted robot do not completely cover the top of the track 200. In this case, it can be said that the contact point between the track 200 and the four guide wheels of the rail-mounted robot (the four guide wheels at the top of the track 200) is the suspension part of the track 200, and the area at the top of the track 200 between the guide wheels is the fixing part of the track 200. At this time, as long as the connection point between the charging house and the track 200 is set on the fixing part, the installation of the charging house and the track 200 can be realized without affecting the reciprocating movement of the rail-mounted robot along the length of the track 200.

[0024] Similarly, other track structures 200 are determined using the same method as the compatible track-mounted robot, thus establishing the connection position between the charging house and the track 200. However, when the track-mounted robot completely covers the track 200 (as shown in patent application number CN202410221709.8), the charging house of this invention is not compatible with this type of track 200. Therefore, this invention requires the track 200 to include a suspension part and a fixing part in order to achieve the fixation of the charging house and the track 200.

[0025] The main body 100 of the charging house includes a shielding part 110 and a connecting part. The connecting part and the fixing part can be detachably connected by bolts or fixedly connected by welding, used to connect the main body 100 as a whole to the fixing part. The shielding part 110 can be a simple plate structure or other structures. Since the vertical projection of the shielding part 110 completely covers the vertical projection of the rail-mounted robot, it means that the shielding part is completely covered on the rail-mounted robot. Therefore, the shielding part 110 must cover the charging interface of the rail-mounted robot. When the charging device is placed under the main body 100, the charging interface of the charging device and the rail-mounted robot must also be under the vertical shadow of the shielding part 110. The shielding part 110 can shield the interface of the charging device, at least preventing rainwater from entering the interface of the charging device in the vertical direction, protecting the charging equipment of the rail-mounted robot from rainwater corrosion, increasing the service life of the charging device, and reducing maintenance costs. Meanwhile, due to the presence of the shielding part 110, when the rail-mounted robot does not need to be inspected, it can be paused in the shade of the shielding part 110 through program control (PLC control program), which prevents the rail-mounted robot from being exposed to the wind and sun in the outdoor environment at all times, reduces the weathering effect on the exterior of the rail-mounted robot, and provides a protective environment for the rail-mounted robot.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in this invention, the track 200 is an I-beam track 200, and the shielding part 110 extends along the length and width directions of the track 200 to ensure that the shielding part 110 has a sufficiently large shaded area to cover the robot hanging on the track 200. The top plate of the track 200 is the fixing part of the track 200. The connecting part and the fixing part can be connected by welding or bolts. When the connecting part is connected to the shielding part 110, the entire charging house can be fixed on the track 200. The charging device only needs to be placed below the shielding part 110 and fixed to the track 200 to shield the charging device. Of course, the shaded area of ​​the shielding part 110 can be set according to the shaded areas of the charging device and the robot hanging on the track, ensuring that the shaded area of ​​the shielding part 110 is larger than the shaded areas of the charging device and the robot hanging on the track, so that both the charging device and the robot hanging on the track are shielded.

[0027] In some embodiments of this invention, the shielding part 110 primarily shields the charging device and the track-mounted robot from the top. However, the direction of sunlight varies with the position of the sun and does not always shine vertically on the track-mounted robot and the charging device. Therefore, the main body 100 of this invention also includes at least one auxiliary protective plate 120. The auxiliary protective plate 120 is located on one side of the track 200 along its length and extends along the length of the track 200. The auxiliary protective plate 120 is connected to the shielding part 110 and / or connected to the connecting part. The auxiliary protective plate 120 and the shielding part 110 can form a shielding structure similar to a "7" shape or a "U" shape, which can shield sunlight and rain from the top as well as from the sides.

[0028] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the auxiliary protective plate 120 is vertically positioned below the shielding portion 110. The auxiliary protective plate 120 has a straight plate structure, with its upper part located inside the shielding portion 110 to prevent rainwater from entering the inner side of the auxiliary protective plate 120. The auxiliary protective plate 120 can be fixed to the shielding portion 110 or to the connecting portion. In this invention, the auxiliary protective plate 120 is fixed to the shielding portion 110. To increase the strength of the auxiliary protective plate 120, at least one reinforcing rod 121 is fixed inside the auxiliary protective plate 120. The reinforcing rod 121 can be inclined or arranged in a grid pattern inside the auxiliary protective plate 120 to increase its strength and service life. In this invention, as shown in Figure 4, the auxiliary protective plate 120 is vertically positioned below the shielding portion 110 to prevent rainwater from entering the inner side of the auxiliary protective plate 120. Figure 1 , 2 As shown, two reinforcing rods 121 are provided on the inner side of the auxiliary protective plate 120. Both reinforcing rods 121 are inclined and form a V-shaped structure. The auxiliary protective plate 120 can be made of corrosion-resistant plastic or stainless steel, and a corrosion-resistant coating can also be applied to the outer side of the auxiliary protective plate 120.

[0029] In some embodiments of this utility model, there are two auxiliary protective plates 120, which are respectively located on both sides of the track 200 along its length and spaced apart.

[0030] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model provides auxiliary protective plates 120 on both sides of the track 200 along its length. The auxiliary protective plates 120 are fixed to the shielding part 110 and together with the shielding part 110, they form shielding in three directions, forming a cover-like structure. This can minimize exposure to sun and rain and protect the space between the two auxiliary protective plates 120 and the shielding part 110, thereby protecting the charging device installed in the space and the track-mounted robot entering the space.

[0031] In some embodiments of this utility model, to facilitate the installation of the shielding part 110 and the connecting part, the shielding part 110 includes a support frame 112 and a shielding plate 111 disposed on the support frame 112. The shielding plate 111 is distributed along the length and width directions of the track 200, and the support frame 112 is fixed to the connecting part. The shielding plate 111 can be configured according to the projected area of ​​the charging device and the track-mounted robot to ensure that the shielding plate 111 covers the charging device and the track-mounted robot, achieving the purpose of shielding. The support frame 112 supports the shielding plate 111 and also facilitates the installation of the auxiliary protective plate 120 and the connecting part.

[0032] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the support frame 112 is located below the shield 111, and both auxiliary protective plates 120 are fixed to the support frame 112, and the connecting part is fixed to the support frame 112.

[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, to facilitate the flow guidance of the baffle 111, the baffle 111 of this utility model has a flow guide structure that is high in the middle and low on both sides or high on one side and low on the other. As long as the baffle 111 has a slope that can guide the flow, rainwater can be prevented from accumulating at the top of the baffle 111. For this purpose, the baffle 111 can be set with a structure that is high in the middle and low on both sides or high on one side and low on the other.

[0034] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the shield 111 of this utility model is a roof structure with a high middle and low sides, and the raised middle position of the shield 111 is set along the length of the track 200, so as to reduce the excessive dripping of rainwater from the shield 111 onto the track 200.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, the support frame 112 connects the auxiliary protective plate 120, the shielding plate 111, and the connecting part. For this purpose, the support frame 112 needs to be adapted to the structure of the shielding plate 111, the auxiliary protective plate 120, and the connecting part. Therefore, the support frame 112 of this utility model includes at least one fixed rod 1121, at least one transition rod 1123, and at least one reinforcing rod 1122 that are fixed to the shielding plate 111. The transition rod 1123 is fixed to the fixed rod 1121, and the reinforcing rod 1122 is fixed to the transition rod 1123, or the reinforcing rod 1122 is fixed to the transition rod 1123 and the fixed rod 1121.

[0036] like Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figure 4, three fixing rods 1121 are arranged along the length of the track 200. Each fixing rod 1121 is a bent rod structure that fits the bottom of the baffle plate 111. Each fixing rod 1121 has two transition rods 1123, which are vertically arranged. The two transition rods 1123 that cooperate with the fixing rods 1121 are connected by a reinforcing rod 1122. The reinforcing rod 1122 is fixed to the upper part of the transition rod 1123 near the transition rod 1123. The connecting part is fixed to the three reinforcing rods 1122 to achieve the connection with the support frame 112. Each auxiliary protective plate 120 is fixed to the three transition rods 1123 on one side of the track 200 along its length. To increase the connection stability, connecting rods 122 are also provided at the top and bottom of each auxiliary protective plate 120. Each connecting rod 122 can also be used to connect the three transition rods 1123 that cooperate with the auxiliary protective plate 120 to achieve a stable structure. Furthermore, the three reinforcing rods 1122 and the two connecting rods 122 at the upper end form a rectangular frame. The rectangular frame is provided with a V-shaped reinforcing diagonal brace 1124 to increase the connection stability between the shielding plate 111 and the support frame 112.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, the structure of the connecting part is mainly based on the structure of the fixing part. Therefore, the connecting part includes a connecting plate 130 that fits against the fixing part and a locking member 133 for locking the connecting plate 130 and the fixing part. The locking member 133 can be a fixing bolt, rivet, pin, etc., used to fix the connecting plate 130 and the fixing part. Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the track 200 of this utility model is an I-beam track 200, and the entire top plate is the fixing part. Therefore, the connecting plate 130 is a straight plate structure that fits the fixing plate. The connecting plate 130 is connected to the fixing plate and the corresponding reinforcing rod 1122. Each connecting plate 130 is provided with multiple connecting holes 132. The top plate (fixing part) of the track 200 is provided with fixing holes corresponding to the connecting holes 132. The locking member 133 passes through the corresponding connecting hole 132 and the fixing hole, which can realize the locking of the fixing part and the connecting plate 130, thereby realizing the fixing of the entire charging room and the track 200.
