[0015] The present invention also discloses a method for using a visual navigation mobile robot under GPS signal denial conditions, which comprises the following steps: S1.

The intelligent path planning algorithm can quickly generate optimal or near-optimal path instructions to achieve real-time navigation and obstacle avoidance of the robot. S2. After the motor body on one side of the fixed side frame is started, the motor body can be used to drive the No. 1 bevel gear plate to rotate, and the rotating No. 1 bevel gear plate can drive the No. 2 bevel gear plate to rotate, and the rotating No. 2 bevel gear plate can drive the side transmission rod to rotate, and the rotating side transmission rod can drive the two driving gears to rotate.

Through the connection of the side connecting plate, the cleaning wheel and the cleaning brush can be driven to rotate synchronously after the side transmission gear rotates; S3. When the side transmission rod rotates, the bottom card gear rotates synchronously. The bottom card gear rotates through the meshing connection of the toothed belt, which drives the top card gear to rotate. The top card gear rotates and drives the side fixed rod to rotate. The rotation of the side fixed rod drives the transmission fan to rotate, and the transmission fan can generate wind force. S4. During the rotation of the side transmission rod, the support wheel is driven to rotate along the inner side of the square groove.

Compared to traditional GPS navigation methods, this method offers greater autonomy and adaptability, enabling precise positioning and navigation in complex environments. 2) When the visual navigation mobile robot is working under the GPS signal denial condition, the side connecting plate can be connected to drive the cleaning wheel and the cleaning brush to rotate synchronously after the side transmission gear rotates. The rotating cleaning brush is used to clean the surface of the wheel body, which can maintain cleanliness when the wheel body rotates to drive the robot body to move, reduce the debris attached to the surface of the wheel body and affect the movement of the robot body, and improve the efficiency and stability of the robot body in turning or moving; 3) When the visual navigation mobile robot is working under the GPS signal denial condition, the transmission fan is driven to rotate by the rotation of the side fixed rod, and the transmission fan can be used to generate wind. The generated wind will blow toward the inside of the robot body along the connecting frame, which can improve the ventilation effect inside the robot body. The movable connection between the second bearing plate on the side of the inner fixed plate and the transmission fan can improve the rotation stability of the transmission fan, and the protective plate on the side of the connecting frame can reduce the entry of debris into the robot body. 4) When the visual navigation mobile robot works under the GPS signal denial condition, the support wheels rotate along the bottom of the robot body. When the bottom of the robot body contacts stones or obstacles, the support wheels can make contact with the obstacles. Under the continuous rotation of the support wheels, the robot body can be driven to climb over the obstacles, reducing the situation where the bottom of the robot body contacts the obstacles and cannot move forward, thereby improving the stability of the robot body during movement; 5) When the visual navigation mobile robot works under the GPS signal denial condition, the continuous rotation of the heterogeneous block will drive the movable frame to reciprocate, and the reciprocating motion of the movable frame will drive the dust removal brush to perform vertical reciprocating motion. The continuous motion of the dust removal brush can clean the dust on the surface of the heat dissipation hole, reducing the situation where dust adheres to the surface of the heat dissipation hole and affects the air circulation in the robot body, causing the temperature to rise, thereby improving the stability of the circuit inside the robot.

At the same time, the friction block 703 on the surface of the support wheel 702 can increase the friction with the obstacle, thereby reducing the situation where the bottom of the robot body 1 contacts the obstacle and cannot move forward, thereby improving the stability of the robot body 1 during movement. S5. The heat dissipation holes 8015 on one side of the robot body 1 can improve the ventilation effect inside the robot body 1. In the process of using the heat dissipation holes 8015 for ventilation and heat dissipation, when the motor body 502 drives the second bevel gear plate 504 to rotate, the engagement of the second bevel gear plate 504 with the third bevel gear plate 801 will drive the third bevel gear plate 801 to rotate synchronously. After the rotation, the third bevel gear plate 801 will drive the side connecting rod 802 and the anisotropic block 803 to rotate. When the raised part of the anisotropic block 803 rotates to the top, it will push the transmission wheel 804 to move upward. Through the connection between the side limit plate 805 and the top connecting plate 806, the lifting rod 807 will be driven to move upward synchronously. At the same time, when the lifting rod 807 moves vertically, it will drive the sliding rod 8016 on the side of the side limit plate 805 to slide along the inner side of the sliding rail 8012, which can improve the stability of the lifting rod 807 during movement. After the lifting rod 807 moves upward, it will drive the transmission plate 8017 and the movable frame 8013 to rise, and the top connecting plate 806 will move along the inner limit movement of the internal connecting hole 8010 when it rises. At the same time, after the top connecting plate 806 rises, it will drive the limit spring 808 to generate compression deformation at the bottom of the side fixing plate 809. When the protruding part rotates to the bottom, the top connecting plate 806 loses the external force, and the limit spring 808 will reset and push the top connecting plate 806 to reset. The continuous rotation of the anisotropic block 803 will drive the movable frame 8013 to reciprocate. The reciprocating motion of the movable frame 8013 will drive the dust removal brush 8018 to perform vertical reciprocating motion. The continuously moving dust removal brush 8018 can clean the dust on the surface of the heat dissipation hole 8015, reduce the situation where dust adheres to the surface of the heat dissipation hole 8015 and affects the air circulation in the robot body 1, causing the temperature to rise, and improve the stability of the circuit in the robot body 1.
