Abstract
Provided is a throw-type compact reconnaissance robot, which is used for military purposes or counter-terrorism and is capable of ensuring a long operational time as well as drop safety by efficient spatial layout of a battery. The throw-type compact reconnaissance robot includes a cylindrical body ( 100 ) with a camera ( 140 ), drivers ( 200 ) made up of two tires ( 270 ) that are disposed on opposite sides of the body ( 100 ) and is drivable individually, and battery units ( 300 ) supplying power used to operate the robot and disposed in inner spaces of the tires ( 270 ) of the drivers ( 200 ) on the opposite outermost sides of the robot.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1. A throwing compact reconnaissance robot comprising:
a cylindrical body with a camera;
driversa driving part comprising made up of two tires that are disposed on opposite sides of the body and can be driven individually; and
battery units supplying power used to operate the robot and disposed in inner spaces of the tires of the drivers on opposite outermost sides of the robot,
wherein the body includes a frame in which electric parts are mounted and a shield cover that surrounds the frame and has a shape of a C-shaped thin plate, the frame and the shield cover of the body have rubber rings which are fitted around them and by which the shield cover is surrounded and fixed to the frame, and each rubber ring includes a metal wire serving as an antenna embedded therein so that the metal wire is connected to a circuit board for telecommunication mounted in the body and functions as the antenna when remote control is performed by radio.
2. The throwing compact reconnaissance robot as set forth in claim 1 , wherein: each driver includes a cylindrical driving wheel; each tire is fitted on an outer side of the driving wheel in a radial direction; and each battery unit is disposed in an inner space of the cylindrical driving wheel.
3. The throwing compact reconnaissance robot as set forth in claim 1 , wherein: each driver includes a cylindrical driving wheel and a wheel driving motor; and the driving wheel and the wheel driving motor are geared to transmit a driving force.
4. The throwing compact reconnaissance robot as set forth in claim 1 , wherein each tire is filled therein with air or a sponge so as to be able to absorb a shock when dropped.
5. The throwing compact reconnaissance robot as set forth in claim 1 , wherein each battery unit includes a cylindrical battery housing, a battery mounted in the battery housing, and a battery housing cover.
6. The throwing compact reconnaissance robot as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the battery housing and battery housing cover are each formed of supramolecular polyethylene.
7. The throwing compact reconnaissance robot as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the body includes a tail mounted on a rear surface thereof.
8. The throwing compact reconnaissance robot as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the tail is adjusted in angle by a tail driving motor so as to be able to adjust a viewing angle of the camera.
9. The throwing compact reconnaissance robot as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the robot is connected to another throwing compact reconnaissance robot using a connector member, in an internal connecting space of which a battery, an electric part, etc. are mounted as needed.
10. The throwing compact reconnaissance robot as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the body further includes a repeater for telecommunication.Cited by (0)
