The worker holds the support rod 16 to retract and release, and the cabin body 1 and the hatch 2 cooperate to safely and stably retract and release the inspection robot. The operation is simple and can avoid damage caused by bumps. The support rod 16 drives the support base 5 to rise or fall, and the hatch 2 can be quickly closed or opened under the cooperation of the pull rope 8, the first pulley 10, the second pulley 11 and the third pulley 12. The retraction and release of the inspection robot is more convenient and efficient. The outer threaded opening 17 and the inner threaded opening 18 cooperate to connect different numbers of support rods 16 according to the use requirements, so that the inspection robot can be placed in underground channels of different depths, avoiding the worker to bend over to place it. The use is more flexible, the safety hazards to the worker are avoided, the work efficiency of the inspection is effectively improved, and the practicality of the use is greatly improved.
