As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the orbital robot of the present embodiment includes: robot body 10, traveling assembly 40, base 300, and two conductive sheets 310. Wherein the robot body 10 comprises a power panel. The robot body 10 walks along the track 1 by means of the walking assembly 40. The base 300 is provided on a side of the robot body 10 perpendicular to the traveling direction n thereof, and the base 300 is made of an insulating material. The two conductive sheets 310 are arranged on the base 300 at an upper and lower interval, and the two conductive sheets 310 are electrically connected with the power supply board through wires such that the two conductive sheets 310 are positive and negative plates, respectively.

By applying the technical scheme of the embodiment, when charging is needed, the positive electrode charging head and the negative electrode charging head of the charging pile are respectively contacted with the two conductive sheets 310, so that charging can be achieved. Two conductive sheets 310 (positive and negative plates) are provided on the side of the robot body 10 so that the charging piles can be arranged at arbitrary positions of the rails to charge without affecting the track robot to walk on the rail 1. Therefore, the technical scheme of the embodiment can improve the flexibility of charging the track robot.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the conductive sheet 310 extends in the traveling direction n. The structure enables the track robot to travel to a certain range and can be charged successfully, and the probability of successful charging is improved.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, in the present embodiment, the base 300 includes a bottom surface close to the robot body 10, a top surface away from the robot body 10, and two side surfaces located between the bottom surface and the top surface and arranged opposite to each other in the traveling direction n, the two side surfaces being guide inclined surfaces 301 provided obliquely, the two guide inclined surfaces 301 being gradually closed in the bottom surface to the top surface direction. The charging head of the charging post is first brought into contact with the guide slope 301 to retract and then brought into close contact with the conductive sheet 310. The structure can ensure the close contact between the charging head of the charging pile and the conductive sheet 310, avoid the direct collision between the charging head and the conductive sheet 310, and ensure the service life of the charging head and the conductive sheet 310. Further, the base 300 is made to include two opposing guide slopes 301, so that the above-described effect can be achieved regardless of whether the orbital robot travels forward or backward.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the conductive sheet 310 is connected to the base 300 by a screw 320, and the wire connects the screw 320 to the power supply board. The screw 320 can not only fix the conductive sheet 310 on the base 300, but also connect wires, and has multiple functions, thereby reducing the number of parts and production cost.

As shown in fig. 2 and 5, in the present embodiment, the conductive sheet 310 is provided with a tapered mounting hole 311, and the screw 320 is a countersunk screw. The above structure makes the outer surface of the conductive sheet 310 flush with the outer surface of the screw 320, so that the charging head can smoothly slide over the conductive sheet 310 when charging is not required, without affecting the travel of the orbital robot.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in the present embodiment, two first mounting grooves 302 are provided on the base 300, and two conductive sheets 310 are respectively provided in the two first mounting grooves 302. The above structure enables the outer surface of the conductive sheet 310 to be flush with the outer surface of the base 300, so that the charging head can smoothly slide onto the conductive sheet 310 through the base 300, thereby achieving the purpose of smooth charging.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, in the present embodiment, a second mounting groove 11 is provided on a side surface of the robot body 10 perpendicular to the traveling direction n thereof, and the bottom of the base 300 is mounted in the second mounting groove 11. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the base 300 is mounted on the robot body 10 by screws. Mounting holes are correspondingly formed in the base 300 and the robot body 10, and when the base 300 is mounted, the base 300 is mounted in the second mounting groove 11. At this time, the mounting holes on the base 300 and the robot body 10 are opposite, and finally the screws extend into the corresponding mounting holes to fix the base 300 on the robot body 10. Accordingly, the above-described structure facilitates the facing of the base 300 with the mounting hole of the robot body 10, thereby improving the mounting efficiency of the base 300.

As shown in fig. 1, 6, 9 and 10, in the present embodiment, the traveling assembly 40 includes a mounting bracket 20 and a traveling wheel 50 pivotably provided on the mounting bracket 20, and the traveling assembly 40 is connected to the robot body 10 through the mounting bracket 20; the track robot further includes a driving device 200, and the driving device 200 drives the traveling wheels 50 to rotate. The structure enables the inspection robot to walk on the track.

As shown in fig. 1, 6, 9 and 10, in the present embodiment, the mounting bracket 20 includes two mounting risers 21 arranged opposite to each other and a connection plate 22 connecting the two mounting risers 21, an accommodating space accommodating the rail 1 is formed between the two mounting risers 21, and travelling wheels 50 are provided on each mounting riser 21. The above structure enables the inspection robot to stably walk on the track 1.

As shown in fig. 1, 6, 7, 9 and 10, in the present embodiment, the walking assembly 40 further includes two guide assemblies 30, the two guide assemblies 30 being symmetrically arranged on the two mounting risers 21, the two guide assemblies 30 clamping the web of the track 1. The above structure enables the track robot to stably move in the straight rail portion and the bent rail portion under the action of the guide assembly 30, and ensures the reliability of the track robot movement.

As shown in fig. 1, 6, 7, 9 and 10, in the present embodiment, the guide assembly 30 includes a first guide mounting plate 31 connected to the mounting riser 21, a second guide mounting plate 32 disposed opposite to the inside of the first guide mounting plate 31, a first connecting member 33 connecting the first guide mounting plate 31 and the second guide mounting plate 32, a first elastic member 34 located between the first guide mounting plate 31 and the second guide mounting plate 32, and a guide wheel 35 pivotably connected to the second guide mounting plate 32, the second guide mounting plate 32 being movable with respect to the first guide mounting plate 31, an axis of the guide wheel 35 being vertically disposed such that the guide wheel 35 contacts with a web of the rail 1.

By applying the technical scheme of the embodiment, the first elastic pieces 34 on two sides of the track robot can transmit elastic force to the two guide wheels through the second corresponding guide mounting plates 32, so that the two guide wheels clamp the web plate of the track 1. When the track robot moves to the curved section, the guide wheels located at the inner side of the curve follow the shape of the track, so that the corresponding first elastic members 34 are compressed, and at the same time, the elastic force of the corresponding first guide mounting plates 31 away from the track 1 increases. Since the two first guide mounting plates 31 are connected to the mounting bracket 20, the first guide mounting plate 31 located at the inner side of the bent rail transmits the elastic force to the second guide mounting plate 32 located at the outer side of the bent rail through the mounting bracket 20, so that the second guide mounting plate 32 located at the outer side of the bent rail starts to move towards the rail 1 and presses the corresponding first elastic piece, and the guide wheel 35 located at the outer side of the bent rail can be abutted with the outer side of the web plate of the bent rail under the action of the elastic force. Therefore, the rail robot can stably move in the straight rail portion and the bent rail portion under the action of the guide assembly 30, and the reliability of movement of the rail robot is ensured. In addition, the guide assembly 30 has a simple structure and few parts, so that the assembly efficiency can be effectively improved.

As shown in fig. 1, 6 and 8 to 10, in the present embodiment, the walking assembly 40 further includes two pressing assemblies 70, the two pressing assemblies 70 are symmetrically arranged on the two mounting risers 21, and the pressing assemblies 70 abut against the lower surface of the upper wing plate of the track 1 so as to press the walking wheel 50 on the upper surface of the lower wing plate of the track 1. The structure can avoid the overturning of the track robot in the moving process (especially in the overbending process), thereby improving the moving reliability and stability of the track robot.

As shown in fig. 1, 6, 8 to 10, in the present embodiment, the pressing assembly 70 includes a first pressing mounting plate 71 connected to the mounting riser 21, a second pressing mounting plate 72 disposed opposite to the first pressing mounting plate 71 and located above the first pressing mounting plate 71, a second connecting member 73 connecting the first pressing mounting plate 71 and the second pressing mounting plate 72, a second elastic member 74 located between the first pressing mounting plate 71 and the second pressing mounting plate 72, and a pressing wheel 75 pivotably connected to the second pressing mounting plate 72, the second pressing mounting plate 72 being floatable up and down with respect to the first pressing mounting plate 71.

With the technical solution of the present embodiment, when the rail robot has a tendency to tilt toward one side of the rail 1, the first pressing mounting plate 71 of the pressing assembly 70 located at the other side of the rail has a tendency to tilt upward. Since the pinch roller 75 abuts against the upper wing plate of the rail 1, the second elastic member 74 is compressed once the first pinch mounting plate 71 is tilted upward, thereby increasing the downward pressure applied to the first pinch mounting plate 71, and further preventing the rail robot from continuing to roll sideways. The structure can avoid the overturning of the track robot in the moving process (especially in the overbending process), thereby improving the moving reliability and stability of the track robot. In addition, the compressing assembly 70 has a simple structure, fewer parts, convenient assembly and improved assembly efficiency.
