[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0038] 1. The present invention is equipped with a pan-tilt motion module, which adjusts the height of the entire visual monitoring module through the telescopic function of the electric telescopic rod. The output end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the movable seat 1. Therefore, when the electric telescopic rod is extended or shortened, it will drive the movable seat 1 and its subsequent connecting rod and mounting seat to move up and down, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the visual monitoring module. Secondly, when it is necessary to adjust the horizontal and vertical rotation angles of the visual monitoring module, the pan-tilt motion module will use the movable seat 1, the linear connecting rod 1, the movable seat 2, the L-shaped connecting rod, the movable seat 3, the linear connecting rod 2 and the movable seat 4.

Specifically, when horizontal rotation is required, the movable seat 2 can drive the movable seat 3 and its subsequent structure to rotate in the horizontal plane through the L-shaped connecting rod. This rotation is achieved through the relative movement inside the connecting rod mechanism, so that the visual monitoring module can cover a wider patrol area. Similarly, when vertical rotation is required, the movable seat 3 can drive the movable seat 4 and the mounting seat thereon to rotate in the vertical direction through the linear connecting rod 2. This rotation enables the visual monitoring module to observe the distribution network equipment and its surrounding environment at different heights. During the entire patrol process, the pan-tilt motion module will realize the precise adjustment of the position and angle of the visual monitoring module by controlling the telescopic movement of the electric telescopic rod and the relative movement of the connecting rod mechanism according to the preset patrol route and monitoring task.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0051] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the present invention provides an embodiment: an artificial intelligence-based distribution network operation and maintenance inspection device, comprising an inspection device bottom plate 1, a high-strength aluminum alloy body 12 is installed on the top of the inspection device bottom plate 1, a fixing seat 2 is installed on the top of the high-strength aluminum alloy body 12, an electric telescopic rod 3 is installed on the top of the fixing seat 2, and a pan-tilt motion module is installed on the output end of the electric telescopic rod 3;
[0052] The pan-tilt motion module includes a movable seat 4 installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 3, a linear connecting rod 1 5 is installed on one side of the movable seat 4, a movable seat 2 6 is installed on one end of the linear connecting rod 1 5, an L-shaped connecting rod 7 is installed on the front of the movable seat 2 6, a movable seat 3 8 is installed on the top of the L-shaped connecting rod 7, a linear connecting rod 2 9 is installed on the back of the movable seat 3 8, a movable seat 4 10 is installed at one end of the linear connecting rod 2 9, a mounting seat 11 is installed on the top of the movable seat 4 10, and a visual monitoring module is embedded in the outer surface of the mounting seat 11. The visual monitoring module is used to monitor the status of the distribution network equipment and its surrounding environment, and the pan-tilt motion module is used to control the horizontal and vertical rotation of the visual monitoring module.
[0053] Furthermore, the pan-tilt motion module adjusts the height of the entire visual monitoring module through the telescopic function of the electric telescopic rod 3. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 3 is connected to the movable seat 4. Therefore, when the electric telescopic rod 3 is extended or shortened, it will drive the movable seat 4 and its subsequently connected connecting rod and mounting seat 11 to move up and down, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the visual monitoring module.
[0054] Secondly, when it is necessary to adjust the horizontal and vertical rotation angles of the visual monitoring module, the pan-tilt motion module will move using a linkage mechanism consisting of a movable seat 4, a linear link 5, a movable seat 6, an L-shaped link 7, a movable seat 3 8, a linear link 2 9 and a movable seat 4 10.

[0055] Specifically, when horizontal rotation is required, the movable seat 2 6 can drive the movable seat 3 8 and its subsequent structure to rotate on the horizontal plane through the L-shaped connecting rod 7. This rotation is achieved through relative movement inside the connecting rod mechanism, so that the visual monitoring module can cover a wider patrol area.
[0056] Similarly, when vertical rotation is required, the movable seat three 8 can drive the movable seat four 10 and the mounting seat 11 thereon to rotate in the vertical direction through the linear connecting rod two 9. This rotation enables the visual monitoring module to observe the distribution network equipment and its surrounding environment at different heights.
[0057] During the entire inspection process, the pan-tilt motion module will accurately adjust the position and angle of the visual monitoring module by controlling the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 3 and the relative movement of the connecting rod mechanism according to the preset inspection route and monitoring tasks.

[0063] The obstacle avoidance sensor uses infrared sensing and ultrasonic sensing technology to monitor obstacles during the patrol process through distance measurement and obstacle detection algorithms.
[0064] Furthermore, visible light imaging technology uses image recognition algorithms to monitor the appearance and connection status of equipment in real time, and promptly detects problems such as equipment aging and damage. It uses image classification and target detection algorithms to identify potential safety hazards, including exposed lines and hanging foreign objects. Through image processing and character recognition technology, it automatically reads the readings of equipment such as electricity meters and ammeters, improving the efficiency and accuracy of data collection. At the same time, it monitors environmental changes around distribution network equipment, including vegetation growth and water accumulation, and issues early warning information in a timely manner.

The anti-collision strips 16 are made of highly elastic material and can provide additional buffering and protection when the patrol device is hit from the side or corner, thereby reducing damage to the device caused by the impact.
[0076] Through the combination of the flame-retardant protective inner layer 13, the anti-collision buffer layer 14 and the fiberglass protective outer layer 15, a multiple protection mechanism is formed, which greatly improves the impact resistance, fire resistance and corrosion resistance of the device.
