They are used to solve the inspection needs of cable trenches, hazardous chemical industries, underground mines and other environments. For example, many cables are currently laid in cable trenches. The trench walls of the cable trenches are generally designed with multiple rows of cable supports of different heights to lay and support more cables. Cable wells are set at fixed points above the cable trenches to facilitate later maintenance of the cables. During maintenance, general staff need to drill into the cable trench from the cable well. Since the cable trench is located underground and is a narrow and enclosed space, it is extremely difficult for staff to inspect it. Most of the existing inspection methods are completed by inspection robots.
[0003] The existing inspection robots have a single inspection scenario and most of them can only provide route guidance through navigation. When the corresponding inspection robots inspect the cable trench, they need to draw a route map of the cable trench before work, which greatly increases the inspection workload.

[0039] The steering of the guide wheel 1-3 is controlled by changing the length of the first spring rod 2-3, so that the guide wheel 1-3 guides the vehicle body 1-1 to always remain in the middle position of the cable trench. In view of the complex working environment inside the cable trench, the vehicle body 1-1 can continuously and effectively calibrate its own position in real time, so that the camera can always remain directly above the cable during the movement of the intelligent inspection robot, and continuously and stably monitor the cable.

[0046] Working principle: When the intelligent inspection robot is working in the cable trench, first place the intelligent inspection robot in the middle of the cable trench. Figure 1 Combination Figure 3 ) and then adjust the length of the first screw telescopic rod 2-1 in each guide mechanism in turn, so that each guide mechanism is located above the corresponding cable in turn, and then adjust the length of the second screw telescopic rod 2-5, so that the avoidance mechanism is close to the inner wall of the cable trench (it should be noted that when the avoidance mechanism is close to the inner wall of the cable trench, the first spring rod 2-3 should be in a partially compressed state, so that there is a certain pre-tightening force between the avoidance mechanism and the inner wall of the cable trench, and further when the distance between the vehicle body 1-1 and the inner wall of the cable trench changes, the avoidance mechanism can be kept in a state of close contact with the inner wall of the cable trench by extending the first spring rod 2-3, so that the distance between the detection rod 2-7 and the inner wall of the cable trench remains unchanged, and further, the camera can always be kept directly above the cable during the movement of the intelligent inspection robot, and the cable can be continuously and stably monitored);
[0047] Then the driving motor 1-4 is started, so that the driving motor 1-4 drives the driving wheel 1-2 to rotate, and further, the driving wheel 1-2 drives the vehicle body 1-1 forward. During this process, the initial direction of the guide wheel 1-3 is straight ahead, so that the guide wheel 1-3 guides the vehicle body 1-1 to move straight ahead. During the moving process, when the distance between the vehicle body 1-1 and the inner wall of one side of the cable trench changes, the length of the corresponding first spring rod 2-3 will be extended or shortened. Further changes in the length of the first spring rod 2-3 will control the direction of the guide wheel 1-3, so that the guide wheel 1-3 guides the vehicle body 1-1 to always remain in the middle position of the cable trench; (with Figure 4 For reference, distance description) When the vehicle body 1-1 deviates to the left, the distance from the second mounting plate 2-2 to the left side wall of the cable trench decreases, and the distance to the right side wall of the cable trench increases, and further the first spring rod 2-3 on the left side is compressed, and the first spring rod 2-3 on the right side is extended under the action of elastic force; the third telescopic oil cylinder 5-2 on the left side is shortened and hydraulic oil is injected into the first telescopic oil cylinder 4-5, so that the first telescopic oil cylinder 4-5 is extended, and further, the first telescopic oil cylinder 4-5 pushes the sliding rod 4-4 to the right, and further the sliding rod 4-4 drives the upper The rack 4-7 and the second telescopic cylinder 4-8 move rightward as a whole; the third telescopic cylinder 5-2 on the right side extends and extracts hydraulic oil from the second telescopic cylinder 4-8, shortening the second telescopic cylinder 4-8. Further, the second telescopic cylinder 4-8 pulls the rack 4-7 to the right relative to the slide bar 4-4; during the rightward movement of the rack 4-7, the gear 4-2 is driven to rotate counterclockwise, and the gear 4-2 drives the guide wheel 1-3 to turn right through the steering shaft 4-1, thereby guiding the vehicle body 1-1 to turn right, and the vehicle body 1-1 remains in the middle position of the cable trench;
[0048] When the vehicle body 1-1 is offset relative to the cable trench as a whole, such as the vehicle body 1-1 is deflected clockwise as a whole, (refer to Figure 4 ) Then the distance between the part of the guide mechanism located at the left rear and right front of the vehicle body 1-1 and the side wall of the cable trench becomes larger, and the distance between the part located at the left front and right rear of the vehicle body 1-1 and the side wall of the cable trench becomes smaller. Further, the fourth telescopic oil cylinder 6 at the left rear and right front is extended, and the fourth telescopic oil cylinder 6 at the left front and right rear is shortened. Further, the fourth telescopic oil cylinder 6 at the left rear and right front is extracted with hydraulic oil from the second telescopic oil cylinder 4-8 to shorten the second telescopic oil cylinder 4-8, and the fourth telescopic oil cylinder 6 at the left front and right rear is injected with hydraulic oil into the first telescopic oil cylinder 4-5 to move the rack 4-7 to the right, so that the guide wheel 1-3 turns right, and then guides the vehicle body 1-1 to turn right, and then makes the vehicle body 1-1 return to the center relative to the cable trench;
[0049] When the guide mechanism passes through the cable rack, (refer to Figure 6) The second rotating wheel 3-10 at the rear first contacts the cable rack and is squeezed forward by the relative guide mechanism of the cable rack, so that the support block 3-7 slides forward relative to the U-shaped rod 3-1 (at this time, since the block 3-11 is in the slot 3-12-2, the slot 3-12-2 restricts the rotation of the block 3-11, further restricting the rotation of the support block 3-7). After the support block 3-7 slides until the block 3-11 is out of the slot 3-12-2, the support block 3-7 rotates relative to the slider 3-4, so that the second rotating wheel 3-10 is retracted into the U-shaped rod 3-1, thereby enabling the second rotating wheel 3-10 here to pass over the cable rack. At the same time, the second rotating wheel 3-10 and the first rotating wheel 3-6 in front still maintain normal support alignment with the side wall of the cable trench. , so that the guide mechanism can maintain a normal movement state with the side wall of the cable trench; after the second rotating wheel 3-10 at the rear passes over the cable rack, the support block 3-7 first rotates and resets under the elastic force of the torsion spring, so that the clamping block 3-11 is facing the clamping slot 3-12-2 again and can re-enter the clamping slot 3-12-2, and then under the elastic force of the second spring rod 3-3, the support block 3-7 slides backward relative to the U-shaped rod 3-1, so that the clamping block 3-11 re-enters the clamping slot 3-12-2, and the second rotating wheel 3-10 at the rear is reset and plays a supporting and calibrating role for the guide mechanism again, and then the second rotating wheel 3-10 and the first rotating wheel 3-6 in front successively pass over the cable rack in this way, so that the equipment can complete the inspection work normally and stably;
[0050] When the intelligent inspection robot works in an environment such as a chemical plant, the guide mechanism is first removed and replaced with a detection device corresponding to the inspection environment requirements, and then the control unit of the travel direction of the guide wheels 1-3 is replaced from the guide mechanism to the SLAM navigation system through the switching mechanism, and then the inspection route is planned for the intelligent inspection robot through the SLAM navigation system;
[0051] When the intelligent inspection robot is conducting inspections, each detection element transmits and controls data through a wireless transmission mechanism.
