Abstract

A high temperature-resistant fire extinguishing robot, comprising: a high temperature-resistant robot chassis system and a high temperature-resistant turret system. The high temperature-resistant robot chassis system carries the high temperature-resistant turret system to perform movements and obstacle avoidance, provides the high temperature-resistant turret system with energy, and further comprises: a high temperature-resistant tract drive system, a thermal protection system, and a control and sensor system, the high temperature-resistant track drive system being arranged outside of the thermal protection system, and the control and sensor system being arranged within the thermal protection system. The high-temperature turret system performs a fire extinguishing and cooling operation with respect to the external environment and further comprises: a water cannon, a water cannon thermal protection structure, and a cooling circulation system, the water cannon and the cooling circulation system being arranged within the water cannon thermal protection structure. In a high temperature-resistant protected state, the water cannon thermal protection structure is closed; in a fire extinguishing work state, the water cannon thermal protection structure is opened, and the water canon perform a fire extinguishing operation.

Claims (21)

1. A high-temperature-resistant fire-fighting robot, comprising a high-temperature-resistant robot chassis system and a high-temperature-resistant turret system, wherein,

the high-temperature-resistant robot chassis system carrying the high-temperature-resistant turret system to move and surmount obstacles and providing energy to the high-temperature-resistant turret system, and further comprises a high-temperature-resistant track drive system, a thermal protection system and a control and sensing system, wherein the high-temperature-resistant track drive system is located outside the thermal protection system, and the control and sensing system is located inside the thermal protection system:

the high-temperature-resistant turret system performs fire-extinguishing and cooling operation for an external environment, and further comprises a water cannon, a thermal protection structure for the water cannon, and a cooling circulation system, wherein the water cannon and the cooling circulation system are located inside the thermal protection structure for the water cannon;

the thermal protection structure for the water cannon is closed in a high temperature protection state;

the thermal protection structure for the water cannon is opened and the water cannon performs fire-extinguishing operation in a fire-extinguishing state.

2. The robot system according to claim 1 , wherein the thermal protection structure for the water cannon comprises an open-close type protection door and a main protection enclosure for the turret.

3. The robot system according to claim 1 , wherein the high-temperature-resistant turret system further comprises a water cannon camera or a thermal imager.

4. The robot system according to claim 1 , wherein the thermal protection system comprises a thermal protection enclosure, a high-temperature-resistant electrical and refrigeration interface assembly, and a high-temperature-resistant hose interface assembly.

5. The robot system according to claim 4 , wherein the high-temperature-resistant electrical and refrigeration interface assembly comprises a sealing cap locker, a high-temperature-resistant sealing gasket, a heat-insulating panel, a power switch, a charging interface, a refrigeration interface, and a heat-insulating sealing cap.

6. The robot system according to claim 5 , wherein the refrigeration interface comprises a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet.

7. The robot system according to claim 4 , wherein the high-temperature-resistant hose interface assembly comprises a hose interface, a heat-insulating end cap, a high-temperature-resistant fiber braided tube and an end cap holder.

8. The robot system according to claim 4 , further comprising a cold source and a cooling circulation system for cooling the interior of the thermal protection enclosure.

9. The robot system according to claim 1 , wherein the control and sensing system comprises a main control system, a communication system, a power management system, a high-temperature-resistant camera system, a high-temperature-resistant lighting assembly, and a high-temperature-resistant antenna.

10. The robot system according to claim 9 , wherein the partial structures of the high-temperature-resistant camera system, the high-temperature-resistant lighting assembly and the high-temperature-resistant antenna penetrate through the thermal protection enclosure for acquiring information and transmitting information to the external environment.

11. The robot system according to claim 9 , further comprising a radar assembly and an optical sensor assembly on the chassis.

12. A working method of a high-temperature-resistant fire-fighting robot, comprising the following steps:

1) closing an open-close type protection door of a thermal protection structure for a water cannon, a heat-insulating sealing cap at an electrical interface, and a heat-insulating end cap of a high-temperature-resistant hose interface assembly, to enter into a high-temperature protection state;

2) the high-temperature-resistant robot entering or passing through a high-temperature fire site for exploration and reconnaissance in the high-temperature protection state;

3) opening the heat-insulating end cap to connect a hose, opening the open-close type protection door, and starting water spraying from a water cannon when the high-temperature-resistant fire-fighting robot reaches a designated operation area, thus switching the high-temperature-resistant fire-fighting robot from the high-temperature protection state to a fire-extinguishing state;

4) removing the hose, closing the heat-insulating end cap and the open-close type protection door after the fire-extinguishing operation is completed, thus switching the high-temperature-resistant fire-fighting robot from the fire-extinguishing state to the high-temperature protection state.

13. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising a step of regulating the temperature of a cold source to a predetermined temperature before the step 1): refrigerating the cold source by means of an external cooling system, replacing a coolant of the cold source, or replacing the cold source; cutting off the external cooling system when the temperature of the cold source reaches the predetermined temperature.
