Customized Application of Explosion-Proof Robot Chassis in Port Grain-Pushing Robots

Inside the port grain storage facility, every day tens of thousands of tons of soybeans, corn and wheat are transported and stored through the conveyor belts. However, a long-standing concern that has been vigilantly watched by the industry has persisted - the explosion of grain dust. When grain dust reaches a certain concentration in the air, it is highly likely to cause a dust explosion upon encountering open flames, high temperatures, or static sparks. For a long time, the grain transportation operations at ports have mainly relied on manual operation of bulldozers, loaders, and other equipment. However, this traditional method has two major problems that are difficult to solve:

The project team requires a robotic solution that can operate safely in high dust environments, and also enable unmanned operation and high efficiency in grain transportation.

Solution: Customized grain transportation robot based on explosion-proof crawler chassis

Based on the robot chassis technology, we conduct customized scenarios and deliver a professional grain-pushing robot that integrates explosion-proof safety, all-terrain passage capabilities, and intelligent navigation control.

1. Explosion-proof design, eliminating potential hazards at the source

In a dusty environment, safety is the bottom line and explosion-proofing is the core.

Explosion-proof design: The tank chassis is designed for explosion-proof, with an explosion-proof grade of Ex db ib llC T6 Gb, suitable for all flammable and explosive places of Class IIC.

Anti-static design: The robot chassis is equipped with grounding chains. During operation, the static electricity generated by the friction between the tracks and the grain can be promptly conducted to the ground through the grounding chains, eliminating the risk of explosion caused by the accumulation of static electricity.

2. Track robot chassis, unafraid of complex terrain

The working environment inside the grain storage facility is complex. The grain piles are soft and there is often scattered grain on the ground. Choosing a crawler-type robot chassis enables you to easily handle these challenges.

Large ground contact area ensures low ground pressure: The design of the tracks significantly increases the contact area with the ground, ensuring that the robot will not sink even when traveling on uncompacted grain piles, and the operation of pushing the grain is as stable as on a flat surface.

Excellent traction and climbing capability: The tracks of the robot chassis provide strong traction, and they do not slip or tip over even on wet, sloping or grain-covered ground. Combined with the independent shock absorption design, they can handle all kinds of complex road conditions in ports with ease.

3. Support the integration with Beidou Navigation System

Mobile APP route planning mode: Equipped with Beidou navigation, operators can use the self-developed APP to plan the route. They can achieve centimeter-level precise positioning and autonomous navigation within the grain warehouse, automatically complete the grain pushing task, and improve efficiency.

Handheld remote control operation mode: Operators can also use handheld remote controllers for precise control, meeting the special requirements of repetitive and meticulous operations in certain localized areas.
