Description

A robotic cart for disinfecting surfaces with infrared radiation is intended for treating surfaces for various purposes - surfaces in premises for keeping animals (poultry), grain and vegetable storage facilities, greenhouses, etc., related to agriculture. The technical result achieved by implementing this device is the automation of the disinfection process, which will expand the range of use of the device on various surfaces, with any pests, and temperature control will allow the installation to be used more energy-efficiently.

From the prior art, a device is known for disinfecting soil with IR radiation [1], containing a frame on which IR burners are installed, wheels, a platform for a gas cylinder, a handle for moving the frame, a gearbox, a distribution comb, rubber reinforced gas hoses connecting the distribution a comb with IR burners, characterized in that the wheels are attached to the frame with the ability to adjust the height of the frame above the ground with screws.

The closest in design is a device [2] for disinfecting soil and substrate with software control, containing a frame on which IR burners are installed, wheels, a platform for a gas cylinder, a handle for moving the frame, a gearbox, a distribution comb, rubber reinforced gas hoses, connecting the distribution comb with IR burners, characterized in that a programmable relay with a recorded program and display is located on the handle for moving the frame, a temperature sensor is attached to the bottom surface of the frame, and the program is made with the ability to calculate and set the required height of the frame and the time of exposure to IR burners in one place, and the frame with IR burners is made with the ability to adjust the height by changing the inclination of the scenes driven by the air damper drive, after receiving a command from a programmable relay to change the position.

The useful models presented above are designed for disinfecting soil and substrate. Their main disadvantage is that they need to be pushed by the operator, that is, there is no drive for the structures.

The technical objective of the proposed utility model is to automate the process and control the disinfection of surfaces for various purposes in order to increase the energy efficiency of the device.

The device is illustrated in Fig. 1, which shows a general view of a robotic cart for disinfecting surfaces with infrared radiation, and FIG. 2, which shows a frame for adjusting IR burners in height.

A robotic cart for disinfecting surfaces with IR radiation includes a frame 1, IR burners 2, electric motor wheels 3, a platform 4 for a gas cylinder 5, a handle 6 for moving the device, a gearbox 7, a distribution comb 8, rubber reinforced gas hoses 9 connecting distribution comb with IR burners, temperature sensor 10, air damper drive 11, frame on which IR burners are mounted 12, rotary scenes 13, programmable relay with display 14, lidar 15, battery 16.

The robotic cart works as follows. Gas from the cylinder is supplied to the reducer, where it is distributed through rubber reinforced gas hoses through a distribution comb and enters the IR burners. The gas, burning in the burners, heats the ceramic elements, which emit infrared rays. IR burners on the frame are mounted in a row (or several rows) of several pieces, depending on the area of simultaneous heating and the scale of production, and are bolted to the frame. For ease of movement of the frame, a handle and four motor wheels are installed on it. For ease of operation and mobility of the installation, the gas cylinder is mounted on a platform to the frame. The heating temperature of the surface depends on the following factors: type of material, roughness, humidity, surface contamination, heating time, height of the frame with IR burners above the ground, surface temperature, ambient temperature and power of IR burners. Humidity measurements, surface temperature, air temperature are measured immediately before the start of work. The gas reducer sets the power of the IR burners within 10…15 kW. The heating time is controlled by the speed of movement of the device. The frame with IR burners is made with the ability to adjust the height by changing the inclination of the scenes driven by the air damper drive, after receiving a command from a programmable relay to change the position. Adjusting the height of the frame with IR burners allows, firstly, to regulate the heating power of the surface, and secondly, to overcome small obstacles with a robotic cart.

On the handle for moving the frame there is a programmable relay with a display where 2 computer programs will be recorded.

The first program will control the disinfection process - analyze the initial parameters (temperature, type of material, roughness, humidity and surface contamination) set by the operator before starting disinfection, and then set the required temperature and treatment time in one place for a given surface. To monitor the temperature, a temperature sensor is attached to the bottom surface of the device frame. The program is made with the ability to calculate and set the required frame height and exposure time of IR burners in one place using the initial parameters. The display shows information for the operator about the time of exposure of the IR burners to the surface in one place.

The second program, according to a given algorithm, will control the movement of a robotic cart in space (similar to a robot vacuum cleaner). The algorithm for moving the robotic cart is set in such a way that there are no gaps left for disinfecting the surface, that is, with a slight overlap. The position of the robotic cart in space is carried out using a lidar mounted on the frame. With its help, the cart orients itself in space, constantly comparing its coordinates with the movement pattern embedded in the program algorithm.

The robotic cart is driven by electric motor wheels driven by a battery mounted on the frame. The speed of movement of the trolley is regulated by the first program, which, depending on the initial parameters (temperature, type of material, roughness, humidity and surface contamination) set by the operator before starting disinfection and the data received from the temperature sensor, gives a command to drive the motor wheels.

The high energy efficiency of the robotic cart is achieved by software regulation of the disinfection of surfaces for various purposes, taking into account optimal modes and control of the treatment temperature.
