A driving gear 7 is fixed to the other end of the dual-axis motor 5, and a driven gear 8 is meshed on one side of the driving gear 7. Since the size of the driving gear 7 is smaller than that of the driven gear 8, a reduction structure can be used to provide a larger driving force. A first driving shaft 9 is fixed inside the driven gear 8, and the first driving shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the robot body 1. The dual-axis motor 5 will drive the first driving shaft 9 to rotate through the driving gear 7 and the driven gear 8. A first synchronous wheel 10 is arranged on the outer side of one end, and a synchronous belt 11 is sleeved on the outer side of the first synchronous wheel 10, and a second synchronous wheel 12 is arranged inside one end of the synchronous belt 11, a second driving shaft 13 is fixed inside the second synchronous wheel 12, and the second driving shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the robot body 1, and walking wheels 14 are fixed to the ends of the second driving shaft 13 and the first driving shaft 9.

The sliding rod 1505 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding sleeve 1504, and the sliding rod 1505 is fixedly connected to the fixed cover 602. Then, the outer side of the slide rod 1505 is sleeved with a spring 1506, and the spring 1506 will push the sliding sleeve 1504 under the limit of the fixed cover 602, so that the pulley 1502 on the driving plate 1503 is in close contact with the eccentric wheel 1501, and the anti-blocking component 15 also includes a connecting frame 1507 and a limiting sleeve 1508. The lower side of the driving plate 1503 is connected with a connecting frame 1507, and the connecting frame 1507 is fixedly connected to the filter cover 604, and the middle outer side of the connecting frame 1507 is slidably connected to the limiting sleeve 1508, and the limiting sleeve 1508 is fixedly connected to the fixed cover 602.

A dust removal component 16 is arranged on the top of the robot body 1. The dust removal component 16 includes a bracket 1601, a servo motor 1602, a rotating plate 1603, a slide column 1604, a limit plate 1605, a slider 1606, a guide plate 1607 and a brush plate 1608. A servo motor 1602 is arranged on the top of the bracket 1601, and the bottom of the servo motor 1602 is connected to the rotating plate 1603. The servo motor 1602 can drive the rotating plate 1603 to rotate continuously.

[0028] In summary, when the rail transit inspection robot is used, it is first Figures 1 to 6In the structure shown in, the inspection robot is first placed on the track, and then the dual-axis motor 5 is started to drive the first drive shaft 9 to rotate through the driving gear 7 and the driven gear 8. At this time, since the size of the driving gear 7 is smaller than that of the driven gear 8, the reduction structure can be used to provide a larger driving force. Secondly, when the first drive shaft 9 rotates, the second drive shaft 13 can be driven to rotate through the first synchronous wheel 10, the synchronous belt 11, and the second synchronous wheel 12, so that all the walking wheels 14 work, so that the inspection robot moves on the track. At this time, the camera 2 on the robot body 1 can perform shooting work. Then, when the robot body 1 moves on the track, the cleaning plate 3 can be used to automatically clean and block the impurities on the track. At the same time, the dual-axis motor 5 will also rotate through the centrifugal blades 601, which can push the air into the jet pipes 605 at both ends, blow off the impurities blocked by the cleaning plate 3, and filter the airflow during inhalation through the filter cover 604, so that when the inspection robot moves on the track, the cleaning plate 3 can automatically clean and block the impurities on the track. At the same time, the dual-axis motor 5 can also rotate through the centrifugal blades 601, so that the airflow can be pushed into the jet pipes 605 at both ends, and the impurities blocked by the cleaning plate 3 can be blown off, and the airflow during inhalation can be filtered through the filter cover 604. During the walking process of the inspection robot, the track surface is automatically cleaned. After that, when the first driving shaft 9 drives the eccentric wheel 1501 to rotate, the spring 1506 pushes the sliding sleeve 1504 under the limit of the fixed cover 602, so that the pulley 1502 on the driving plate 1503 is in close contact with the eccentric wheel 1501, and the pulley 1502 is used to reduce the friction loss, so that the driving plate 1503 can move back and forth, thereby driving the filter cover 604 to move between the limit ring 603 through the connecting frame 1507. It slides on the outside, so when too many dust particles adhere to the surface of the filter cover 604, some of the dust impurities can be shaken off. Finally, during the inspection, the servo motor 1602 can be started as needed to drive the rotating plate 1603 to rotate, so that the sliding column 1604 can push and pull one end of the limiting plate 1605 to make it reciprocate, thereby driving the slider 1606 to move under the limit of the guide plate 1607, so that the brush plate 1608 can brush the surface of the camera lens 2 back and forth to clean it.
