AI Technical Summary
Existing coal mine exploration robots have difficulty effectively traversing high steps. Conventional tracked and wheeled walking mechanisms are insufficient in terms of load capacity and motion stability, while deformable walking mechanisms have reduced load capacity.
The system employs a connecting mechanism, a first driving mechanism, a second telescopic rod, an extension mechanism, and a ball screw. The first driving motor drives the second telescopic rod to rotate, causing the extension mechanism to tilt and land on the ground in front of the detection robot. The cooperation of the slider and the slide groove enables the steel plate body to rotate and be fixed on the step surface. Combined with the cooperation of the chain and the driving motor, the stability of the robot walking on the step is ensured.
This technology enables the exploration robot to stably traverse higher steps, enhancing its walking stability and protection capabilities in complex terrain, preventing hard impacts, and improving its load-bearing capacity.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of detection robots, and specifically relates to a coal mine shaft detection robot with a stabilizing function. BACKGROUND
[0002] The coal mine shaft detection robot is an intelligent robot used in the underground environment of a coal mine, and its main functions include autonomous movement, accurate positioning, image acquisition, intelligent sensing and early warning, etc. These robots can perform various tasks in a complex mine environment, such as equipment operating condition detection, facility condition diagnosis, deformation detection, hazardous gas concentration and distribution monitoring, environmental temperature sensing and ventilation parameter acquisition, etc. In longwall mining of shallow coal seams, if the old roof along the coal wall appears serious step subsidence, it may cause the through cracks to open, forming a direct channel for working face sand collapse.
