[0033] like Fig.10 and Fig.11The sub-body unit 3 includes a main body 25, and the bottom of the main body 25 is a running wheel 12. When the sub-body unit 3 is attached to the parent unit 2, the running wheel 12 at the bottom of the main body 25 is higher than the ground 9.

[0035] like Figure 6 and Fig. 9 The parent unit 2 includes an active walking unit 4 and a passive walking unit 5; the active walking unit 4 can actively walk along the length direction of the main track 8.2, and the passive walking unit 5 follows the active walking unit 4 to passively walk along the length direction of the main track 8.2;

[0036] like Figure 7 The active walking unit 4 includes an a groove wheel support 34, on which two a groove wheels 39 are rotatably mounted through bearings, and the axes of the two a groove wheels 39 are both vertical, and the wheel grooves 3 of the two a groove wheels 39 are respectively and rollingly clamped on the two sides of the roller walking bar 32; the active walking unit 4 also includes a driving gear 38, which is meshed with the transmission gear body 31; the gear shaft of the driving gear 38 is rotatably mounted on the a hinged bearing seat 37 through a bearing; and also includes an active motor 36, which is fixedly connected to the a groove wheel support 34 through a motor bracket 35, and the output end of the active motor 36 drives the gear shaft connected to the driving gear 38;

[0038] The mother unit 2 further includes a first hinge rod 16 and a second hinge rod 18, which are angled and close to each other at their upper ends; a c hinge bearing seat 26 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first hinge rod 16, and a d hinge bearing seat 27 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second hinge rod 18, and the c hinge bearing seat 26 and the d hinge bearing seat 27 are hinged on the same hinge shaft 95 through bearings;

[0040] The axes of the driving gear 38, the driven gear 49 and the hinge shaft 95 are respectively denoted as axis a 140, axis b 150 and axis c 15. In a front view, the connecting lines of axis a 140, axis b 150 and axis c 15 always form an isosceles triangle; in an initial state, the angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 is about 60°;

[0041] like Figure 5 , further comprising a vertical gravity tie bar 13, the gravity tie bar 13 being fixedly connected to one end of the hinge shaft 95, and a counterweight 110 being fixedly connected to the lower end of the gravity tie bar 13, the counterweight 110 causing the gravity tie bar 13 to generate a constant downward pulling force on the hinge shaft 95, so that the angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 always tends to increase; the proportion of the counterweight 110 in the attached figure does not represent the actual size of the counterweight, and in practice, the weight of the counterweight 110 needs to be large enough to ensure that the angle X always tends to increase;

[0042] A downward fixed pulley bracket 40 is fixedly mounted on the second hinged rod 18, and a fixed pulley 41 is rotatably mounted on the fixed pulley bracket 40; a wire rope drum 43 is coaxially fixed to the output shaft 45, and the wire rope 23 drawn out of the wire rope drum 43 passes over the lower side of the fixed pulley 41 and is fixedly connected to the lower part of the first hinged rod 16 at its end. When the brake motor 46 is in the brake state, the taut wire rope 23 prevents the angle X between the first hinged rod 16 and the second hinged rod 18 from being further increased;

[0043] It also includes a slider 83 that is slidably sleeved outside the auxiliary track 8.1, and the slider 83 slides freely along the length direction of the auxiliary track 8.1; a roller seat 100 is fixedly arranged on the slider 83, and at least two guide wheels 80 are provided on both sides of the vertical gravity pull bar 13 in a rolling fit and tangentially, and each guide wheel 80 is rotatably mounted on the roller seat 100 through a bearing, and under the constraint of each guide wheel 80, the gravity pull bar 13 is always in a vertical posture;

[0044] One end of the hinge shaft 95 away from the gravity pull bar 13 is fixedly connected to a sub-unit posture maintaining bar 17 extending downward;

[0045] The first arc strip 21 and the second arc strip 20 are symmetrical, and the centers of the first arc strip 21 and the second arc strip 20 coincide with the c-axis 15; the first arc strip 21 and the second arc strip 20 are fixed to the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 through the first fixing member 91 and the second fixing member 92 respectively;

[0046] A left-right symmetrical arc clip strip 24 is fixedly connected to the main body 25 through a support 81. When the sub-body unit 3 is attached to the mother unit 2, the arc center of the arc clip strip 24 coincides with the c-axis center 15. An arc sliding slot 30 is provided on the lower side of the arc clip strip 24 along the arc contour direction. The first arc strip 21 and the second arc strip 20 are respectively coaxially movably inserted into the left and right parts of the arc sliding slot 30, so that the first arc strip 21 and the second arc strip 20 slide relatively along the common center in the arc sliding slot 30, so that the first arc strip 21 and the second arc strip 20 jointly lift the arc clip strip 24 upward; an upward groove seat 28 is fixed to the middle part of the upper side of the arc clip strip 24, and a vertical positioning groove 29 with the upper end penetrating is provided on the side of the groove seat 28 away from the inspection camera unit 19, and the lower end of the sub-body unit posture maintaining strip 17 is movably inserted into the positioning slot 29 downward;

[0047] Working principle:

[0048] Initial state settings:

[0049] In the initial state, if Figure 2 , 3, the sub-unit 3 is attached to the mother unit 2, specifically, the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20 jointly lift the arc clamping bar 24 upward, and the lower end of the sub-unit posture maintaining bar 17 moves downward and is inserted into the positioning groove 29, so that the sub-unit 3 is in a state of being off the ground as a whole;

[0050] Under the constraint of each guide wheel 80, the gravity bar 13 is always in a vertical posture. Since the sub-unit posture maintaining bar 17 is synchronized with the gravity bar 13, the sub-unit posture maintaining bar 17 is always in a vertical state. Therefore, in the subsequent process, the sub-unit 3 is always in a central position between the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20 under the constraint of the sub-unit posture maintaining bar 17, and will not deviate.

[0051] In the initial state, the brake motor 46 is in the brake state, the angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 is about 60°, and the counterweight 110 generates a constant downward pulling force on the hinge shaft 95 through the gravity pull bar 13, so that the angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 always tends to increase; at the same time, when the brake motor 46 is in the brake state, the taut wire rope 23 prevents the angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 from increasing further; thus, the overall structure of the mother-child inspection robot 1 is balanced;

[0052] The inspection process of the mother-child inspection robot 1 as a whole:

[0053] The active motor 36 is controlled separately to rotate the active gear 38. Under the meshing action of the transmission gear body 31, the active walking unit 4 walks along the length direction of the main track 8.2 as a whole, and the passive walking unit 5 and the slider 83 follow the active walking unit 4 to passively walk along the length direction of the main track 8.2, giving full play to the long endurance advantage of the rail robot, so that the mother-child inspection robot 1 as a whole arrives at each inspection area 10 along the main track 8.2. When the mother-child inspection robot 1 as a whole arrives in front of any device to be inspected 11, the inspection camera unit 19 mounted on the sub-body unit 3 of the mother-child inspection robot 1 just captures the middle height area of ​​the device to be inspected 11 in front.

[0054] If the inspection camera unit 19 needs to be lowered: control the brake motor 46 to make the wire rope drum 43 release a length of the wire rope 23, and then the brake motor 46 resumes the braking state, so that the originally taut wire rope 23 becomes loose. Since the angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 always tends to increase, the angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 automatically increases under the downward pull of the counterweight 110 until the wire rope 23 is tightened again, and the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20 slide away from each other adaptively in the arc sliding groove 30 in which they are inserted, and the arc card strip 24 is still in a state of being held up by the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20. At the same time, the sub-body unit 3 is in the sub-body The unit posture is always in the middle position between the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20 under the constraint of the bar 17. After the angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 increases, the height of the c-axis 15, which is the common center of the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20, drops a certain distance. Since the center of the arc clip 24 is also on the c-axis 15, the arc clip 24 also drops a certain distance accordingly, so that the sub-unit 3 drops as a whole, and the sub-unit 3 is still off the ground as a whole. The overall drop of the sub-unit 3 causes the inspection camera unit 19 to drop to a height that can just capture the lower part of the equipment to be inspected 11 in front. At this time, the angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 does not exceed 120°.

[0055] If the inspection camera unit 19 needs to rise: control the brake motor 46 to make the wire rope drum 43 reel a section of wire rope 23 into the wire rope drum 43, and then the brake motor 46 returns to the brake state, so that the originally taut wire rope 23 is further shortened, so that the angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 is forced to become smaller, and the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20 adaptively slide close to each other in the arc sliding groove 30 in which they are inserted. At the same time, the sub-body unit 3 is always in the center position between the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20 under the constraint of the sub-body unit posture maintaining bar 17, and the first hinge rod 16 and After the angle X between the second hinged rods 18 becomes smaller, the height of the c-axis 15, which is the common center of the first arc strip 21 and the second arc strip 20, rises by a certain distance. Since the center of the arc clip 24 is also on the c-axis 15, the arc clip 24 also rises by a certain distance accordingly, and both ends of the arc clip 24 are still in a state of being held up by the first arc strip 21 and the second arc strip 20, so that the sub-body unit 3 rises as a whole. The overall rise of the sub-body unit 3 causes the inspection camera unit 19 to rise to a height just capable of photographing the upper part of the equipment to be inspected 11 in front. At this time, the angle X between the first hinged rod 16 and the second hinged rod 18 is not less than 30°.

[0056] Thus, the inspection camera unit 19 can smoothly capture the upper, middle and lower parts of the equipment to be inspected 11 in front;

[0057] The process of daughter unit 3 separating from parent unit 2:

[0058] On the basis of the initial state, the brake motor 46 is controlled to gradually release the wire rope 23 from the wire rope drum 43. The angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 automatically increases under the pull-down action of the counterweight 110. The first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20 gradually move away from each other. The first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20 slide away from each other in the arc sliding groove 30 in which they are inserted. After the angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 increases, the height of the c-axis 15, which is the common center of the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20, gradually decreases. Since the center of the arc clip 24 is also on the c-axis 15, the arc clip 24 also decreases synchronously accordingly, thereby causing the sub-unit 3 to descend as a whole. , until the walking wheel 12 at the bottom of the sub-unit 3 touches the ground, at which point the sub-unit 3 has landed and cannot continue to descend; then the angle X between the first hinge rod 16 and the second hinge rod 18 continues to increase, the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20 continue to move away from each other, and the center of the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20 continue to descend, until the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20 are respectively disengaged from the two ends of the arc sliding groove 30, so that the first arc bar 21 and the second arc bar 20 are separated from the arc clamping strip 24, at which point the sub-unit 3 has been separated from the parent unit 2, so that the sub-unit 3 can walk independently in the inspection area 10 where it is located, giving full play to the advantages of the trackless robot, and thus realizing more detailed inspection and monitoring of the inspection area 10.

[0059] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
