In the face of stricter regulations on occupational disease prevention, enterprises have to invest more costs to ensure the safety of workers, for example, in the pursuit of efficient production in power, petrochemical, mining and other industries. Therefore, inspection robot came into being.
Inspection robot is mainly used for face recognition, identifying things and people, and calling the police autonomously when encountering suspicious objects, thus ensuring the safety of enterprises. It is mainly used for remote control inspection and automatic robot periodic inspection in automatic workshops, high-risk workshops, workshops with bad environment and other indoor places.
Ultrasonic obstacle avoidance sensor module can be used to improve the safety protection of inspection robot
For enterprises that need "machine replacement" and apply robot, inspection robot can improve production efficiency, reduce production cost, improve product technology content and expand enterprise competitive strength in the development of enterprises. However, all kinds of inspection robots use accessories and solutions are different. The following small series will tell you the application solutions of ultrasonic obstacle avoidance sensor module in the inspection robot in terms of obstacle avoidance function.
Safety protection module is an indispensable part of inspection robot, but it is also easy to be ignored. Obstacle avoidance, a safety module, is indispensable but also consumes power. Inspection robot is through the obstacle avoidance sensors to detect the obstacles ahead, when the obstacle avoidance sensors for according to the size of the received infrared reflection strength to identify the presence of obstacles ahead, so that the robot to move forward or steering, and implement the inspection robot has the ability of safe obstacle avoidance at runtime.
The inspection requirements of various industries are different, so the obstacle avoidance sensor is best equipped with a modular design of multiple communication interfaces, which can be replaced freely. Obstacle avoidance distance can be selected in three modes: short distance, medium distance and long distance, which can have ranging function. It can not only monitor obstacles, but also output accurate safe distance (forward and backward and all around) as a distance sensor module. On the other hand, obstacle avoidance is indispensable but also consumes electricity.
Therefore, when selecting the obstacle avoidance module, it is necessary to consider its very low power consumption, and can choose the "power saving" mode, which can work intermittently or trigger the module to work immediately. Provide as much power as possible for the power system to ensure the endurance function of the inspection robot. UM0090, the ultrasonic obstacle avoidance sensor module provided by INDUSTRIAL mining network, is a ranging module based on the transceiver integrated ultrasonic sensor. By measuring the flight time of ultrasonic waves from transmission to reception, the module can detect objects up to 3 meters and output range signals through the UART interface.
The product has the characteristics of high sensitivity, fast response, and good anti-interference performance and stability, widely used in various robots, unmanned aerial vehicles and intelligent equipment obstacle avoidance system.
