[0060] As shown in the figure: Figures 1-13

[0061] ​A bridge inspection vehicle capable of actively changing track gauge, used in conjunction with a track system 7, includes a drive system 1 for driving the bridge inspection vehicle, two sets of gantry frames 2 corresponding to the track system and hinged to the drive system 1, a truss system 3 housed within the gantry frames 2, an active sliding device 4 installed within one set of gantry frames 2 for controlling the truss system 3 to move axially along the truss system 3, a secondary sliding device installed on the other set of gantry frames 2 and used in conjunction with the active sliding device 4, an angular displacement sensor corresponding to the gantry frame 2 and located at the connection between the gantry frame 2 and the corresponding drive system 1, two sets of endpoint detection sensors respectively installed on the drive system 1 and connected to a control module 6, and a control module 6 connected to the angular displacement sensor, the active sliding device 4, and the drive system 1.

[0062] During the track movement after the track change, two sets of angular displacement sensors monitor in real time the angle formed between the axis of the fixed truss 31 along its length and the two sets of tracks after the track change. and Meanwhile, the active sliding device 4 detects in real time the distance between the geometric center of the truss system 3 and the track behind the strain gauge. and The included angle information and distance information are transmitted to the control module 6, and the control module 6 determines the two sets of included angles. and Two sets of distances and Are they equal?

[0063] If the included angle and If they are not equal, the control module 6 will use frequency converters to control the speeds of the two drive systems, adjusting the included angle. and The two drive systems then move synchronously; simultaneously, the control module 6 controls the active sliding device 4 to move the fixed truss 31 along its axis to adjust the distance between the two systems. and This makes the two sets of distances and Equal; if the two sets of distances are equal; and The distances are not equal. Control module 6 controls the active sliding device 4 to move the fixed truss 31 to adjust the two sets of distances. and This makes the two sets of distances and Equal; thus enabling the bridge inspection vehicle to move normally on the track after the track change;

[0064] When the two sets of endpoint detection sensors collide and make contact with the contact points on the track after the track change, the position is reached, and the two sets of drive systems 1 stop driving;

[0065] When one set of endpoint detection sensors collides with the contact points on the track after the track change, while the other set of endpoint detection sensors does not collide with the contact points on the track after the track change, that is, the axial direction of the fixed truss 31 along its length will form an angle with the plane containing the two sets of contact points. When the collision occurs, the drive unit corresponding to the endpoint detection sensor stops driving, while another drive system 1 continues to move. At this time, the control module stops to ensure the included angle. and The two sets of drive systems 1 are equal, and frequency conversion control is applied to both sets of drive systems 1. At the same time, the control module 6 controls the active sliding device 4 to move the fixed truss 31 along its axis to adjust the distance between the two sets of drive systems 1. and This makes the distance between the two sets of distances and The results are equal; ultimately, the corresponding endpoint detection sensor of this system collides and contacts with the corresponding contact point on the track after the track change, stopping the drive.

[0066] Once the bridge inspection is completed, the bridge inspection vehicle will return to its normal track.

[0067] If both sets of endpoint detection sensors simultaneously collide with the contact points on the track after the track change, during the return trip, the two sets of drive systems 1 will be directly controlled to start and begin the return trip; during the return trip, the included angle between the two sets will be monitored in real time. and Two sets of distances and Equal is acceptable;

[0068] If one set of endpoint detection sensors first collides and contacts the contact points on the strain gauge track, and the other set only contacts after adjustment by the corresponding drive system 1, then the axial direction of the fixed truss 31 along its length will form an angle with the plane containing the two sets of contact points. On the return journey, the drive system 1 corresponding to the endpoint detection sensor that caused the subsequent collision is activated. At the same time, the control module 6 controls the active sliding device 4 to move the fixed truss 31 along its axis to adjust the two sets of distances. and This makes the two sets of distances and Equal; so that they form an included angle again. Subsequently, the two drive systems 1 synchronously control the bridge inspection vehicle to travel back, and during the return journey, the included angle between the two systems is monitored in real time. and Two sets of distances and Equal is acceptable;

[0073] When the fixed truss 31 is moved, the driving motor controls the rotation of the gear, so that the rack 44 in meshing connection with the gear moves, thereby driving the sliding rail 41 to move along the length direction thereof in the sliding groove 42, the sliding rail 41 is connected with the fixed truss 31, and thus the movement of the fixed truss 31 is realized;
