Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a general frame diagram of a ground rail type patrol robot according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the ground rail type patrol robot includes a robot body 10 and a monitoring background 20; the robot body 10 exchanges data with the monitoring background 20 through a communication module and a communication layer arranged on the robot body. The communication layer includes a communication interface, a wired broadband network, a wifi wireless network, a video transmission dedicated interface, etc., which can communicate with the communication module of the robot body 10 in a wireless/wired manner. The monitoring background 20 comprises a monitoring upper computer (which is provided with a monitoring software system), a display (which is used for displaying warehouse total information, warehouse position information, robot body position electronic map display, robot moving state and inspection working state display in real time), and a memory (which is used for receiving and storing inspection data of the robot body).
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the robot body 10 includes a motion control system 11, a quantity patrol system 12, an environment sensing system 13, a power supply system 14 (which may or may not be provided), and a communication module 15. The communication module 15 is used for transmitting data collected by the quantity patrol system and the environment sensing system, the motion state of the robot body in the motion control system, the residual quantity of electric quantity of the robot body, charging information and the like to the upper computer in real time through the communication layer.
The following describes each component of the robot body.
Referring to fig. 2, the motion control system 11 includes a wheeled moving platform 111 driven by a motor, a motion controller, a sliding contact type electric rail 114, and a conductive contact 113 (see fig. 5) provided on the robot body 10 and electrically contacting the sliding contact type electric rail 114, wherein the sliding contact type electric rail 114 is pre-laid on the ground of the steel tube warehouse and is used for providing power to the robot body 10 and driving the robot body to move along the sliding contact type electric rail 114. A quantity patrol system 12 is provided on the wheeled mobile platform 111 and includes a first RFID reader 121, a camera 122. Also disposed on wheeled mobile platform 111 is an environmental sensing system 13 comprising an ultrasonic sensor 131, a second RFID reader 132, and a contact sensor 133. The quantity inspection system 12 and the environment sensing system 13 are arranged on the wheel type moving platform, are driven by the wheel type moving platform 111 and move along the sliding contact type electric rail 114 in the warehouse, and inspect the steel pipes on the warehouse positions and the checking positions one by one. The camera 122 is a camera with a pan/tilt head, and the first RFID reader 121 is disposed on a bracket capable of automatically adjusting a tilt angle.
The wheeled mobile platform 111 has four rollers 1111, each roller 1111 is independently driven by a motor, and steering is achieved through differential speed. The wheeled moving platform 111 drives the robot body to move along the sliding contact type electric rail 114. Wherein, the output speed of the motor corresponding to each roller 1111 is controlled by the motion controller. As shown in fig. 4, the motion controller is in communication connection with the environment sensing system 13, the quantity patrol system 12 and the power supply system 14 (directly connected, or indirectly connected with the motion controller of the robot body through an upper computer in the monitoring background). Specifically, when the environment sensing system 13 senses that there is an obstacle around or touches the obstacle, the motion controller controls the motor of the roller 1111 to stop rotating, so that the robot body 10 stops moving. When the number of the steel pipes of a certain type detected by the first RFID reader 121 and the camera 122 in the quantity patrol system 12 is inconsistent, the motion controller controls the motor of the roller 1111 to stop rotating, so that the robot body 10 stops in place for multiple rechecking detection and verification. In the process of patrol, when the power supply system 14 detects that the working power of each detector (RFID, camera, ultrasonic sensor, contact sensor) in the robot body 10 is insufficient, the motion controller controls the roller 1111 to rapidly roll in the reverse direction (the driving motor of the roller 1111 is powered by the sliding contact type power rail 114), and returns to the charging pile set at the starting point of the robot body 10 to replenish the power. In other embodiments, the robot body 10 is not provided with the power supply system 14 (without a power manager, a rechargeable battery, a power status monitoring module, etc.), and the power is directly supplied from the trolley rails 114 through the conductive contacts 113 provided below the robot body 10. At this time, a voltage transformation circuit, a rectification circuit and a voltage stabilization circuit are configured in the robot body to provide electric energy for each electric function module for each electric device of the robot body, such as a power supply circuit of an RFID reader, a camera, an ultrasonic sensor and the like. The driving motor of each roller 1111 of the robot body 10 is a three-phase asynchronous motor or a single-phase motor, the sliding contact type power rail 114 can provide 380V or 220V alternating current, and the transformation, rectification and voltage regulation circuit configured in the robot body 10 provides power for the robot body 10. The motion controller is used for controlling the left front wheel motion control submodule, the right front wheel motion control submodule, the left rear wheel motion control submodule and the right rear wheel motion control submodule; each control submodule comprises a driver, the motor and a speed reducer; each control submodule independently controls the rotation of one roller 1111. In each control submodule, a driver drives a motor to operate, and the motor outputs torque after being decelerated by a speed reducer to drive the roller to rotate.
As shown in fig. 2, the wheel-type moving platform 111 is provided with a lifting mechanism 117, which may be a lifting frame driven by an air cylinder. When the lifting frame needs to be lifted, the air pump connected with the air cylinder starts to work, the air cylinder is inflated, the lifting frame is lifted, and otherwise, the air cylinder falls back and descends. A lifting platform can be arranged on the lifting frame, and the first RFID reader 121 and the camera 122 in the quantity patrol system 12 are arranged on the lifting platform, and meanwhile, the alarm 16 is also arranged. Through the lifting action of the lifting frame, RFID reading and shooting detection in steel pipe end sockets at different heights on a certain warehouse position can be realized. As shown in fig. 3, the first RFID reader 121 obtains the number of a certain steel pipe by reading the RFID of the steel pipe, and the camera 122 obtains the number of a certain steel pipe by image recognition, so that the first RFID reader and the camera form double verification, and send the corresponding relationship between the patrol storage location information and the number of the steel pipes to the upper computer through the communication module 15.
As shown in fig. 2 and 5, the conductive contacts 113 are a set, and are correspondingly disposed on two sides (positive and negative poles, respectively) of the wheeled moving platform 111, and are correspondingly disposed on the sliding contact type electric rail 114 on the warehouse floor. The sliding contact line 1140 for supplying ac power on the sliding contact type rail 114 is laid under the ground (to avoid electric shock of the working personnel), the two poles of the sliding contact line corresponding to the ground are provided with the sunken grooves 110, and the conductive contact pieces 113 arranged on the two sides of the robot body 10 protrude downwards and are embedded into the sunken grooves 110 to electrically contact with the sliding contact line 1140 of the sliding contact type rail 114 to obtain electric energy.
As shown in fig. 1 and 3, an environmental sensing system 13 including an ultrasonic sensor 131, a second RFID reader 132, and a contact sensor 133 is further provided on the wheeled mobile platform 111. The second RFID reader 132 is used for reading information of different storage locations (RFID tags are also arranged on the storage racks of different storage locations, and the tags write the numbers of the storage locations and the positions in the storage) in the steel pipe warehouse. The camera 122 may capture an image of the environment around the robot. The second RFID reader 132 and the camera 122 are used together to confirm the current position of the robot body, and send the position information to the upper computer through the communication module 15. A warehouse electronic map is prestored in the upper computer, and the current position of the robot body in the warehouse can be displayed in the monitoring background by combining the warehouse electronic map.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, at least 4 ultrasonic sensors 131 are respectively disposed on the front two and the rear two of the wheeled moving platform 111. During the process of the robot body moving, the ultrasonic sensor 131 is used for sensing whether an obstacle exists in a certain distance range around the robot body in real time, so that the moving speed of the wheeled moving platform 111 is controlled, and the sensing result of the ultrasonic sensor 131 and the shooting result of the camera 122 around the robot body form double verification. A contact sensor 133 is provided around the periphery of the wheel-type moving platform 111. Once the robot body 10 contacts or collides with the outside, the contact sensor 133 is triggered to send an emergency stop signal to each motion controller, and the motion controller controls each motor to stop running, so that the robot body 10 immediately stops walking and gives an alarm. The sensing results of the ultrasonic sensor 131 and the contact sensor 133 also constitute a double verification. In addition, in order to prevent the robot body 10 from being crashed, a crash bumper 116 is provided at the edge of the wheeled moving platform 111, and a contact sensor 133 is provided on the bumper 116. The sudden stop of the robot body 10 may be controlled by disconnecting the circuit to stop the power supply through the trolley wire 1140 of the trolley rail 114, or by controlling the disconnection of the driving circuit of each motor only by the controller as described above, so as to stop the operation of the motor.
As shown in fig. 6, a power supply system 14 of the inspection robot of the present invention is shown. The power supply system 14 includes a power manager 141, a charging circuit 142, a rechargeable battery 143, and a power status monitoring module 144. The rechargeable battery 143 and the charging circuit 142 are electrically connected to the power manager 141. The power status monitoring module 144 is connected to the power manager 141 for monitoring the remaining power of the rechargeable battery 143 in real time. The power manager 141 provides power to each power functional module through a power supply circuit of each power consuming device, such as an RFID reader, a camera, an ultrasonic sensor, and the like.
In other embodiments, since the trolley rail 114 supplies power to the robot body 10 in real time through the conductive contact piece 113, the power supply system 14 can be eliminated, so as to further reduce the components and weight of the robot body 10 and simplify the control process. Of course, in some embodiments, the robot body 10 may be driven to move only by the power supply of the sliding contact power rail 114, and when the electric energy used by other electric devices disposed on the robot body 10, i.e., the first/second RFID readers (131, 132), the camera 122, the ultrasonic sensor 131, the contact sensor 133, and the like, comes from the rechargeable battery in the robot body 10, a wireless charging pile may be disposed in the warehouse at the start end or the end of the sliding contact power rail 114. When the power manager 141 monitors that the electric quantity in the movement process of the robot body 10 is insufficient, the movement controller receives the signal of insufficient electric quantity, sends an instruction to each movement control submodule and controls the rotation direction and speed of each roller, so that the robot body returns to the wireless charging pile to complete electric quantity supply.
