Therefore, the utility model can be well applied to the inspection and cleaning operations inside the V-shaped cavity of the urban rail thorough frame, and can travel through the cavity in a relatively stable operation mode, which greatly improves the inspection efficiency and saves time and effort.

[0036] The image acquisition unit includes cameras 3 installed on the front and rear ends of the triangular body 1, a control board is installed inside the triangular body 1, and a wireless transmission module for transmitting the output signal of the camera 3 in real time is integrated on the control board;
