Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings and examples, in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Explanation: the following description will be made by taking an example in which the support guide wheel structure provided by the present invention is applied to a cable climbing robot as an auxiliary support, but the present invention is not limited to the application of the support guide wheel structure to a cable climbing robot, and the present invention can be applied to other structures requiring stable sliding, for example, an auxiliary support in a linear sliding structure of a processing machine tool, and the like, and the description is not made.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the supporting and guiding wheel structure provided by the present invention includes a first connecting seat 31, a second connecting seat 32, a bell crank supporting arm 33, an elastic body 34 and a supporting wheel assembly 35. Wherein, first connecting seat body 31 and second connecting seat body 32 interval set up, when this support leading wheel structure is used and is carried out auxiliary stay on the cable climbing robot, first connecting seat body 31 and second connecting seat body 32 fixed mounting are in the corresponding mounted position in the robot. The bell crank portion of the bell crank support arm 33 is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat body 31, the first end of the elastic body 34 is rotatably connected to the second connecting seat body 32, the second end of the elastic body 34 is connected to the first end portion of the bell crank support arm 33, and the support wheel assembly 35 is mounted to the second end portion of the bell crank support arm 33.
In the process of carrying out auxiliary support in the cable climbing robot, because the first connecting seat body 31 and the second connecting seat body 32 are fixedly connected to form a fixed supporting point, the supporting wheel assembly 35 always contacts with the cable 100 to play a role in auxiliary support in the process of climbing movement of the robot, when the supporting wheel assembly 35 encounters an obstacle in the process of climbing movement, the supporting wheel assembly 35 is jacked by the obstacle, at the moment, the jacking force of the obstacle to the supporting wheel assembly 35 is transferred to the crank supporting arm 33, the crank supporting arm 33 rotates by taking the connecting part of the crank part as a supporting point to compress the elastic body 34, so that the supporting wheel assembly 35 is self-adaptively over the obstacle, and the auxiliary supporting state is still continuously maintained in the process of crossing the obstacle to maintain the overall stability of the cable climbing robot, and after the supporting wheel assembly 35 crosses the obstacle, the supporting wheel assembly 35 is restored to be supported on the cable 100 under the action of self elastic force by the elastic body 34, so that the cable climbing robot is always and stably climbed on the cable 100.
In this embodiment, the support wheel assembly 35 includes a bell crank wheel seat 351, a first support wheel 352, and a second support wheel 353. The bell crank portion of the bell crank wheel seat 351 is rotatably connected to the second end portion of the bell crank support arm 33, specifically, the first support wheel 352 is assembled in the same manner as the second support wheel 353, and the assembly is completed by the support wheel shaft 356 being matched with the first bearing 354 and the second bearing 355, that is, the first bearing 354 and the second bearing 355 are mounted at both ends of the support wheel shaft 356, and then the first support wheel 352 or the second support wheel 353 are assembled on the first bearing 354 and the second bearing 355. Generally, the fixed connection ends of the first connection seat body 31 and the second connection seat body 32 are fixedly installed in the same horizontal plane, and the distances between the two end points of the crank wheel seat 351 and the horizontal plane are respectively larger than the distances between the crank part of the crank wheel seat 351 and the horizontal plane. The first support wheel 352 is connected to a first end of the crank wheel seat 351, and the second support wheel 353 is connected to a second end of the crank wheel seat 351. In this way, the connection positions of the first support wheel 352, the second support wheel 353 and the crank part form a triangle structure, during climbing along the cable 100, the first support wheel 352 and the second support wheel 353 are all propped against the surface of the cable 100, then when the first support wheel 352 contacts an obstacle and passes over the obstacle, the first support wheel 352 is lifted up by the obstacle to rotate around the connection node between the crank part and the end part of the crank support arm 33, and at the moment, the second support wheel 353 still keeps propped against the surface of the cable 100 to maintain auxiliary support to keep climbing stable. Likewise, when the second support wheel 353 contacts the obstacle and is lifted by the obstacle while riding over the obstacle, the second support wheel 353 is rotated about the connection point between the bell crank portion and the end of the bell crank support arm 33, while the first support wheel 352 remains in abutment with the surface of the cable 100 to maintain auxiliary support to keep climbing stable.
Since the cable 100 is generally cylindrical, in order to increase the contact area between the wheel face of the first support wheel 352 and/or the wheel face of the second support wheel 353 and the surface of the cable 100, the wheel face of the first support wheel 352 and/or the second support wheel 353 is provided in a V-shape or a U-shape. Preferably, the wheel faces of the first support wheel 352 and the wheel faces of the second support wheel 353 of the present invention are each provided in a V shape. For the general cable 100 is columnar, the V-shaped wheel surface is utilized to prop against the cable 100, so that a coated propping form is formed, and the auxiliary support is more stable.
Soft covering materials are covered on the wheel surfaces of the first support wheel 352 and the second support wheel 353, so that when the first support wheel 352 and the second support wheel 353 are respectively in abutting contact with the cable 100 for auxiliary support, the soft covering materials can prevent the cable 100 from being scratched due to rigid contact between the wheel surfaces and the cable 100.
As shown in fig. 1-3, the bell crank angle at the bell crank position of the bell crank wheel seat 351 of the support guide wheel structure is greater than 90 ° and the bell crank angle is less than 180 °. Preferably, the angle of the crank angle at the crank position of the crank wheel seat 351 of the supporting guide wheel structure ranges from 120 ° to 150 °, and may be 120 °, 125 °, 130 °, 135 °, 140 °, 145 °, 150 °, for example, 120 °. Such an angle selection can make it easier during obstacle surmounting by the first support wheel 352 or the second support wheel 353 and can also make the auxiliary support continuously stable during obstacle surmounting. Further, the angle at the position of the bell crank portion of the bell crank support arm 33 is 90 °, and the angle at the position of the bell crank portion of the bell crank support arm may be 120 °, 125 °, 130 °, 135 °, 140 °, 145 °, 150 °. In this way, during obstacle surmounting, the bell crank support arm 33 and the bell crank wheel seat 351 cooperate with each other to adaptively avoid an obstacle.
The elastic body 34 supporting the guide wheel structure of the present embodiment includes a fitting bolt 341, a coil spring 342, and a butterfly adjusting nut 343. The first end of the assembly bolt 341 is connected with the second connecting seat body 32 through the first hinge pin 344, the spiral spring 342 is sleeved on the assembly bolt 341, the second end of the assembly bolt 341 passes through the assembly hole on the first end of the crank support arm 33 and then is connected with the butterfly adjusting nut 343, in the obstacle surmounting process, the crank support arm 33 compresses the spiral spring 342, so that the assembly bolt 341 rotates around the central axis of the first hinge pin 344, and after obstacle surmounting is completed, the spiral spring 342 returns to a natural assembly state. During assembly, the assembly bolt 341 is matched with the first clamp spring 3441 and the second clamp spring 3442 through the first hinge pin 344 to finish connection, the spiral spring 342 is sleeved on the assembly bolt 341, the first end of the crank support arm 33 is sleeved on the assembly bolt 341 and compresses the spiral spring 342, and finally the butterfly-shaped adjusting nut 343 is connected to the assembly bolt 341 to compress the crank support arm 33 and pre-compress the spiral spring 342.
In this embodiment, the crank portion of the crank support arm 33 and the first connecting base 31 are coupled by the second hinge pin 345 in cooperation with the pin nut 3450, and the crank support arm 33 rotates around the central axis of the second hinge pin 345 with the second hinge pin 345 as a fulcrum during obstacle surmounting. The crank part of the crank wheel seat 351 is connected with the second end part of the crank support arm 33 through a third hinge pin 346, and during obstacle surmounting, the crank wheel seat 351 rotates around the central axis of the third hinge pin 346 with the pivot of the third hinge pin 346.
When the auxiliary support is performed for the cables 100 of different diameters and then climbing is performed, in order to further expand the diameter range of the adaptive adjustment on the basis of the cable 100 of different diameters being accommodated within the compression amount range of the coil spring 342, therefore, the first connecting seat body 31 is provided with the first assembly hole 311 and the second assembly hole 312, and the second hinge pin 345 is disposed in the first assembly hole 311 or the second assembly hole 312 to adjust the extension distance of the second end portion of the bell crank support arm 33 toward the cable. That is, the range of the diameter of the accommodation when the second end of the bell crank support arm 33 is coupled to the second fitting hole 312 is larger than the range of the diameter of the accommodation when the second end of the bell crank support arm 33 is coupled to the first fitting hole 311.
