This invention provides a
pangolin-shaped
robot and method for clearing blockages in
coal bunkers, including a bionic head device, a bionic neck device, a bionic body device, a locking device, and a multimodal
perception system. Through a rigid-flexible collaborative structural design, the
robot can efficiently overcome obstacles and operate flexibly within the
confined space of a
coal bunker. The integrated multimodal
perception system can accurately identify the type of blockage and optimize path planning. Combined with a wiring harness and
rope connection to an external
workstation, it ensures continuous and
safe operation even in extreme environments. The axial tunneling module of the bionic head device works in conjunction with the
slag discharge guiding mechanism, significantly improving clearing efficiency; the spiral
coal crushing device of the bionic body device adopts a quick-release design, simplifying the maintenance process. Overall, it achieves intelligent, efficient, and low-cost reliable clearing of coal
bunker blockages, significantly improving the efficiency and safety of coal
bunker clearing.
