An intelligent external inspection and maintenance vehicle for a rail beam of suspension
monorail transit aims to achieve the automatization,
informatization and intellectualization of the external fault and defect inspection of the rail beam and provide working conditions for inspection and maintenance. The intelligent external inspection and maintenance vehicle comprises a vehicle body, a driving unit, an intelligent detection unit, a vehicle-driving
control unit and a safety protection unit, wherein the driving unit consists of a
power battery and suspension bogies; a suspension
monorail beam inspection and maintenance platform is arranged at the rear part of the vehicle body; the vehicle body is equipped with sensor lifting and lowering supports, contour detectors, a lifting and lowering fence translational track, an inspection and maintenance work lifting and lowering platform, gauge detection
laser sensors and
corrosion detection cameras; the suspension
monorail beam inspection and maintenance platform can move horizontally and vertically on the lifting and lowering fence translational track; the
motion range of the suspension monorail beam inspection and maintenance platformcovers the left, right and lower sides of the rail beam for providing an inspection and maintenance platform capable of moving horizontally and vertically at the external of the rail beam; the contour detectors and the
corrosion detection cameras of an intelligent detection
system are mounted at the sensor lifting and lowering supports which is capable of moving vertically on both sides of the middle part of the vehicle body; the
corrosion detection cameras are mounted at the outer side of the middle of the sensor lifting and lowering supports; and the contour detectors are mounted at the inner side of the middle and top of the sensor lifting and lowering supports.
