[0028] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments, either individually or selectively.

[0031] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram. When describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0032] Example 1, reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a cooling device for an inspection robot controller, including cooling fans 102b arranged near all positions on both sides of the protective cover 101, and the cooling fans 102b can suck external cold air into the inside of the protective cover 101 to cool the electronic components in the protective cover 101, and then cooperate with the drainage groove opened at the rear of the protective cover 101, the sucked cold air squeezes out the hot air in the protective cover 101, reducing the heat accumulation in the protective cover 101, and four groups of guide plates 102d are arranged near the front position of the protective cover 101 in a mirror image of the central axis.

[0033] Among them, the guide plate 102d is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface 102e. When the cooling fan 102b sucks the cold air into the protective cover 101, the cold air is guided to the rear of the protective cover 101 through the guidance of the guide surface 102e. The arc-shaped guide surface 102e can effectively guide the cold air to the area where heat dissipation is required, and a plurality of through grooves 102f are opened on the surface of the guide plate 102d.

[0034] Also, it should be noted that the through slots 102f of the four groups of guide plates 102d are not on the same parallel line, but are stepped. This means that after the cold air is blown to the outermost guide plate 102d, part of the cold air is blown to the rear of the protective cover 101 under the guidance of the guide surface 102e of the guide plate 102d, and part of the cold air passes through the through slots 102f and blows to the second group of guide plates 102d, and the same is true until the cold air blows to the last guide plate 102d. It should be noted that the last guide plate 102d does not have a through slot 102f, which means that the cold air that was not successfully guided in the first three groups is guided on the last group of guide plates 102d. Through this arrangement, the cold air can be fully utilized and passes through the interior of the protective cover 101. By setting two groups of cooling fans 102b and cooperating with the good airflow path of the guide plate 102d, the air circulation flow is realized, which can ensure that the heat is effectively transferred from the inside of the protective cover 101 to the outside.

[0035] Example 2, reference Figure 4 - Figure 5 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a displacement plate 201a is arranged in the protective cover 101, and the displacement plate 201a is in an "S" shape, which covers the entire range of the protective cover 101. The displacement plate 201a is provided with a guide rail 201b, and circular rotating grooves 201c are provided at both ends of the guide rail 201b, and a rotating rod 201f is rotatably connected in the rotating groove 201c, and the upper end of the rotating rod 201f is connected to the output end of the motor 201e, the motor 201e provides power, and the motor 201e is installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 101.

[0036] Furthermore, two groups of limiting rings 202a are arranged on the outside of the rotating rod 201f, and a receiving groove 201d is opened in the rotating groove 201c. The upper and lower surfaces of the two groups of limiting rings 202a are respectively in contact with the upper and lower inner walls of the receiving groove 201d, so that the rotating rod 201f cannot be separated from the rotating groove 201c by the limiting rings 202a, and a receiving space is formed between the two groups of limiting rings 202a and the receiving groove 201d. The position of the group limiting ring 202a is fixedly connected to a traction rope 202b, which is wound around the outside of the rotating rod 201f and stored in the storage space, while the other end of the traction rope 202b is connected to a sliding seat 202c, which is slidably connected in the guide rail 201b, and balls 202d are arranged inside the lower side of the guide rail 201b and the storage groove 201d, and the balls 202d can improve the smoothness of the movement of the rotating rod 201f and the sliding seat 202c.

[0037] Among them, the length of the traction rope 202b is approximately equal to the bending length from one end to the other end of the guide rail 201b. Under the constraints of the two sets of motors 201e, the two sets of traction ropes 202b outside the sliding seat 202c always ensure good tension. When the sliding seat 202c needs to move, the motor 201e in that direction is started, and the motor 201e drives the rotating rod 201f to wrap around the traction rope 202b, and the traction rope 202b pulls the sliding seat 202c to slide in the guide rail 201b.

[0038] During use, the inspection robot is equipped with multiple sensors and cameras. When a certain sensor or camera is used for a long time, the temperature of this electronic component will be higher than that of other unused electronic components. The motor 201e located in this area can be started. The motor 201e starts the rotating rod 201f to tighten the traction rope 202b, and the retracted traction rope 202b drives the sliding seat 202c to slide until it slides to the range of this electronic component. The cooling fan 304c set on the sliding seat 202c is used to perform local cooling, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and avoiding damage to the electronic components.

[0039] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 1.

[0040] Example 3, reference Figure 6 - Fig.10 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that: plug-in grooves 301a are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the sliding seat 202c, and the plug-in grooves 301a are in a ring shape. A connecting plate 301b is movably connected in the plug-in groove 301a. Six groups of connecting grooves 301c are provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the disassembly groove. The connecting grooves 301c connect the plug-in grooves 301a provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the sliding groove, and six groups of barbs 301d are provided in the connecting plate 301b. The barbs 301d are made of rubber. When two groups of connecting plates 301b are inserted into both sides of the sliding seat 202c at the same time, the barbs 301d at the upper and lower positions will be squeezed and deformed against each other until the connecting plate 301b is flush with the surface of the sliding seat 202c, which means that the barbs 301d at the upper and lower positions are in conflict with each other to form a stable connection relationship.

[0041] Furthermore, the two groups of connecting plates 301b are respectively provided with a fixed sleeve 302a, which is in the shape of an "O", and an electric push rod 302b is arranged inside, and a fixed ring 302c is arranged outside the telescopic part of the electric push rod 302b, and a movable block 303d is arranged outside the fixed rod, and the movable block 303d is rotatably connected to the driven rod 303c through a rotating shaft, and the other end of the driven rod 303c is rotatably connected to the adjusting rod 303b through a rotating shaft, and the adjusting rod 303b is rotatably connected to the fixed block 303a through a rotating shaft, and the fixed block 303a is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed sleeve 302a. It should be noted that the fixed block 303a, the movable block 303d, the adjusting rod 303b and the driven rod 303c are all arranged on the same side.

[0042] Furthermore, a mounting base 304a is provided on the outside of the adjusting rod 303b. The mounting base 304a is in a "concave" shape and is made of iron metal. A magnetic card 304b is magnetically connected to the "concave" structure of the mounting base 304a, and a cooling fan 304c is provided on the magnetic card 304b. Through such a setting, the cooling fan 304c can be disassembled conveniently and quickly.

[0043] During use, the electric push rod 302b starts the contraction work, drives the fixed ring 302c to contract, and drives the driven rod 303c to move through the movable block 303d, and drives the adjusting rod 303b to rotate upward through the rotating shaft connection between the adjusting rod 303b and the driven rod 303c, and then cooperates with the rotating shaft connection between the adjusting rod 303b and the fixed block 303a. The movement of the adjusting rod 303b will drive the angle of the cooling fan 304c to change, thereby changing the wind blowing range of the fan, and then adjusting the heat dissipation effect. The electric push rod 302b is used to drive the movement of the entire mechanism and adjust the position of the fixed block to achieve the change of the cooling fan 304 c changes, when the electric push rod 302b is damaged and needs to be replaced or the connecting plate 301b and the sliding seat 202c need to be separated, the connecting plates 301b on both sides of the sliding seat 202c can be rotated first, and the connecting grooves 301c cannot accommodate two groups of barbs 301d at the same time, which requires applying force to squeeze and deform the barbs 301d at the upper and lower positions until the two groups of barbs 301d no longer conflict with each other, and the connecting plate 301b can be taken out of the plug-in groove 301a, which avoids the effect that the connecting plate 301b will be separated from the sliding seat 202c during use of the device, and it is also more convenient when disassembling.

[0044] The remaining structure is the same as that of Example 2.
