[0002] Inspection robots are automated devices that are mainly used to regularly check and monitor the status of equipment or environments. They can move within a preset route or area, collect data in real time, shoot videos or images, and transmit the results to the control center. This type of robot is widely used in industrial plants, power equipment, transportation facilities and other fields. It can reduce the workload of manual inspections, improve efficiency, and promptly detect potential problems, thereby improving safety and reliability. Users only need to sit in the monitoring room or dispatching room, and all other tasks are left to the inspection robot to operate, greatly reducing the intensity of human operations.

When the inspection robot automatically returns, the charging head can be connected to the charging interface to complete the charging docking of the inspection robot. The stepping motor on the U-shaped frame on the outer wall of the rear side of the inspection robot can drive the walking gear on the rotating rod to rotate. Since the walking gear is engaged with multiple groups of meshing grooves and the U-shaped frame is limited by the sliding of the linkage rod, the T-shaped slider and the T-shaped slide groove, the U-shaped frame can move on the rear side wall of the inspection robot body, and the fixed box is driven to move toward or away from one side of the inspection robot through the synchronization rod, and the reduction motor is cooperated with Working, it can drive the rotating gear on the rotating rod to rotate, and since the rotating gear is meshed with the moving tooth plate, the shielding disc on the moving tooth plate can be driven to move closer to or away from the charging head, and the servo motor on the U-shaped frame can drive the bidirectional lead screw to rotate.

The charging docking device of the inspection robot according to claim 4, characterized in that: The outer wall of the charging pile body is connected to an external cable, the top of the charging pile body is provided with an emergency stop switch and a switch knob, the front outer wall of the inspection robot body is provided with a start button and a status indicator light, and a ball camera is installed on the right outer wall of the inspection robot body.
6. The charging docking device of the inspection robot according to claim 5, characterized in that: A top seat is provided on the top of the inspection robot body, an RFID is provided on the front end surface of the top seat, and a limiting part of a limiting track is provided on the top seat. An antenna, sonar and an emergency stop button are provided on the left end of the front end surface of the inspection robot body, and a camera is connected to the outer wall of the left end of the inspection robot body.
7. The charging docking device of the inspection robot according to claim 6, characterized in that: The inner cavity of the inspection robot body is provided with two sets of driving motors, and the output ends of the two sets of driving motors are both equipped with walking wheels, which are rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of the top seat respectively, and the walking wheels are rollingly connected to the track.
8. The docking method of the charging docking device of the inspection robot according to claim 7, characterized in that: The method comprises the following steps: S1: First, install the inspection robot on the track, press the start button to start it, and after the inspection robot is turned on, the status indicator lights up, and the two sets of walking wheels on the inspection robot rotate synchronously to walk on the track. The inspection robot can inspect back and forth along the track according to the pre-configured route, monitor the production environment in real time, and complete the specified inspection tasks; S2: When the power of the inspection robot body is lower than the specified threshold, it will automatically return on the track. When the inspection robot body returns and contacts the travel switch, the reduction motor on the fixed box works to drive the rotating gear on the rotating rod to rotate. Since the rotating gear is meshed with the moving tooth plate, the shielding disc on the moving tooth plate is away from the charging head. The stepper motor on the U-shaped frame works to drive the travel gear on the rotating rod to rotate. Since the travel gear is meshed with multiple sets of meshing grooves and the U-shaped frame is limited by the sliding of the linkage rod, the T-shaped slider and the T-shaped slide groove, the U-shaped frame moves on the rear side wall of the inspection robot body, and drives the fixed box and the shielding disc to move toward one side of the inspection robot body through the synchronization rod, so that it is close to the outer wall of the inspection robot body and exposes the charging head. S3: When the reduction motor and the stepper motor are working, the servo motor drives the bidirectional screw to rotate. After the two sets of threaded blocks connected to the bidirectional screw pass through the sliding limit of the cross bar and the slider, the two sets of sliders drive the two sets of movable baffles to move in opposite directions away from the charging interface, so that the charging interface is exposed, and the charging head on the inspection robot body is connected to the charging interface, that is, the charging docking of the inspection robot body is completed, and the charging pile body charges the inspection robot body; S4: Finally, after the inspection robot body is charged, the two sets of walking wheels on the inspection robot body roll on the track, and the charging head is away from the charging interface, so that the inspection robot body is away from the charging pile body, and the servo motor, reduction motor and stepper motor work synchronously to move the two sets of movable baffles in relative directions to block the charging interface, and the movable gear plate moves in the fixed box to make the blocking disc face the charging head, and the U-shaped frame moves on the outer wall of the inspection robot body to drive the fixed box to move toward one side of the inspection robot body through the synchronization rod, so that the blocking disc facing the charging head fits with the charging head, thereby sealing and protecting the charging interface and the charging head.
