[0002] The rail inspection robot is an efficient and intelligent inspection device. It relies on the rail system to move between facilities and equipment. It is equipped with various sensors and control systems to achieve comprehensive inspection and monitoring of the target area.
[0003] When in use, most rail inspection robots can only rotate within a certain range, which makes it difficult for the robots to flexibly conduct all-round and no-dead-angle inspections of the surrounding environment. Some important but obliquely located or deeply hidden fault points or abnormal conditions may be missed. At the same time, the robot's adaptability in complex environments is limited. For example, when a multi-directional inspection of equipment is required, it can only rely on the movement of robotic arms or other auxiliary equipment, which undoubtedly increases the complexity and time cost of the inspection, and may also reduce the efficiency and accuracy of the inspection.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, we made improvements and proposed a track inspection robot system with a rotating mechanism. Summary of the invention

[0006] Preferably, a servo motor for driving the screw to rotate is fixedly installed on the right side of the adjustment box, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the right end of the screw.
[0007] Preferably, a transverse sliding groove is provided on the top of the inner wall of the regulating box, a sliding block is fixedly connected to the top of the screw sleeve, and the top of the sliding block is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the transverse sliding groove.
[0008] Preferably, a through slot is formed at the bottom of the regulating box, and the bottom of the connecting rod passes through the inner cavity of the through slot and extends to the bottom of the regulating box.

[0010] Preferably, both left and right sides of the top of the slider are fixedly connected with a suspension arm, and the suspension arm is a "U"-shaped structure.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a rail inspection robot system with a rotating mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. The track inspection robot with a rotating mechanism drives the turntable to rotate through the output end of the stepper motor, which can drive the robot body to rotate, so that the robot body can be adjusted in the circumferential direction. The screw sleeve is driven to move horizontally by the effect of the thread during the rotation of the screw rod. The screw sleeve drives the robot body to move horizontally through the connecting rod, and the robot body can be adjusted in the linear direction. Through the cooperation of the turntable and the connecting rod, the robot body can be adjusted in multiple directions, thereby improving the use effect of the robot body.
