[0015] The present invention relates to a cable retracting and releasing method for a cable retracting and releasing device of an inspection robot. When the cable of the inspection robot is retracted and released, one end of the cable is fixedly connected to the inspection robot, and the cable is wound around the outside of a cable retracting and releasing shaft. When the inspection robot moves after being released, a first servo motor needs to be started to allow the output shaft of the first servo motor to drive the cable retracting and releasing shaft to rotate. The cable retracting and releasing shaft rotates to assist in releasing the cable outside the cable retracting and releasing shaft. When the angle needs to be fine-tuned when releasing the cable as the inspection robot moves, a second servo motor can be started to allow the output shaft of the second servo motor to drive the ball screw to rotate. After the ball screw rotates, it can drive a self-locking ball nut on the outside of the ball screw to move in a horizontal direction. At this time, the self-locking ball nut can drive the moving positioning sleeve to move horizontally. The movable guide sleeve can be moved in the horizontal direction, and a second connecting frame is fixed at the bottom of the self-locking ball nut, and a first connecting frame is fixed at the bottom of the movable positioning sleeve, so that the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame can drive the movable guide sleeve to move in the horizontal direction. The movable guide sleeve can move in the horizontal direction on the outside of the guide carbon steel rod, and the outside of the movable guide sleeve is fixedly connected to a carbon steel connecting mounting plate by connecting a carbon steel block, and the outside of the carbon steel connecting mounting plate is fixed with a guide cable-retracting connecting rod by a guide movable bracket. During the cable releasing process, the cable is placed on the top of the guide cable-retracting connecting rod, so that the position of the movable guide sleeve and the guide cable-retracting connecting rod is adjusted by adjusting the position of the movable positioning sleeve and the self-locking ball nut. After the position of the guide cable-retracting connecting rod is adjusted, the cable position can be fine-tuned during the cable releasing process. When the angle needs to be fine-tuned during cable reeling, the second servo motor can be started to allow the output shaft of the second servo motor to drive the ball screw to rotate. After the ball screw rotates, it can drive the self-locking ball nut on the outside of the ball screw to move horizontally. The self-locking ball nut can drive the movable positioning sleeve to move horizontally at the same time, so that the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame can drive the movable guide sleeve to move horizontally. The movable guide sleeve can move horizontally on the outside of the guide carbon steel rod. During the cable reeling process, the cable is placed on the top of the guide cable reeling connecting rod, so that the position of the movable guide sleeve and the guide cable reeling connecting rod is adjusted by adjusting the position of the movable positioning sleeve and the self-locking ball nut. After the position of the guide cable reeling connecting rod is adjusted, the cable position can be fine-tuned during the cable reeling process. When the cable of the inspection robot is wound around the outside of the cable retracting and releasing shaft, the positions of the two cable retracting and releasing limit plates can be adjusted according to the use requirements of the cable of the inspection robot. When adjusting the position of the cable retracting and releasing limit plate, the cast iron handle plate can be pulled toward the top, and the movable cast iron column can be driven to move by the cast iron handle plate. The movable cast iron column can drive the limit cast iron plate to move, and allow the limit cast iron plate to squeeze one end of the reset spring. At this time, the limit cast iron plate simultaneously drives the positioning cast iron rod to disengage from the corresponding cable retracting and releasing shaft, unlock the position lock of the positioning fixing sleeve, and then move the positioning fixing sleeve to the outside of the cable retracting and releasing shaft. After the positioning fixing sleeve and the cable retracting and releasing limit plate move to the appropriate position, the cast iron handle plate can be loosened to allow the reset spring in the positioning fixing shell to push the limit cast iron plate to move, and the positioning cast iron rod can be movably inserted into the corresponding cable retracting and releasing shaft, so as to conveniently complete the multi-gear adjustment of the position of the cable retracting and releasing limit plate, thereby meeting the use requirements of the inspection robot for retracting and releasing the towing cable.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The device is provided with a cable retracting and releasing angle fine-tuning device. When the inspection robot is retracting and releasing the cable, one end of the cable is fixedly connected to the inspection robot, and the cable is wound around the outside of the cable retracting and releasing shaft. When the inspection robot moves after being released, it is necessary to start the first servo motor to allow the output shaft of the first servo motor to drive the cable retracting and releasing shaft to rotate, and the position of the movable guide sleeve and the guide cable retracting and releasing connecting rod is adjusted by adjusting the position of the movable positioning sleeve and the self-locking ball nut. After the position of the guide cable retracting and releasing connecting rod is adjusted, the cable position in the cable releasing process can be fine-tuned, which achieves the purpose of fine-tuning the cable releasing angle. When the angle needs to be fine-tuned during cable retracting, the cable is placed on the top of the guide cable retracting and releasing connecting rod during the cable retracting process, so that the position of the movable guide sleeve and the guide cable retracting and releasing connecting rod is adjusted by adjusting the position of the movable positioning sleeve and the self-locking ball nut. After the position of the guide cable retracting and releasing connecting rod is adjusted, the cable position in the cable retracting process can be fine-tuned, which is beneficial to the use of the inspection robot to retract and release the towing cable; 2. The device is provided with a cable-retracting and -releasing limit device. When the cable of the inspection robot is wound around the outside of the cable-retracting and -releasing shaft, the positions of the two cable-retracting and -releasing limit plates can be adjusted according to the use requirements of the cable of the inspection robot. After the positioning and fixing sleeve and the cable-retracting and -releasing limit plate are moved to the appropriate positions, the cast iron handle plate can be loosened to allow the reset spring in the positioning and fixing shell to push the limit cast iron plate to move, and the positioning cast iron rod can be movably inserted into the corresponding chamfer, so as to conveniently complete the multi-stage adjustment of the cable-retracting and -releasing limit plate position, thereby meeting the use requirements of the inspection robot for retracting and -releasing the towing cable.

[0017] 3. The device is provided with a retractable clamping and locking mechanism. When the inspection robot is retracting and releasing the towline, the third servo motor in the connection shell is not started, which will not affect the normal retracting and releasing of the towline by the inspection robot. After the inspection robot has completed retracting and releasing the towline, in order to avoid the towline still being retracted and released to affect the normal use and operation of the inspection robot, the towline can be moved to lift it. After the towline is lifted, it is specifically arranged between the two clamping and positioning sleeves, so that the corresponding surfaces of the two clamping and positioning sleeves are clamped on the corresponding outer sides of the towline, thereby completing the clamping and fixing of the towline, which can cooperate with the inspection robot to retract and release the towline.

[0023] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the device is provided with a cable retracting and releasing angle fine-tuning device 8. When the inspection robot is retracting and releasing the cable, one end of the cable is fixedly connected to the inspection robot, and the cable is wound around the outside of the cable retracting and releasing shaft 11. When the inspection robot moves after being released, the first servo motor 4 needs to be started to allow the output shaft of the first servo motor 4 to drive the cable retracting and releasing shaft 11 to rotate. The cable retracting and releasing shaft 11 is rotated to assist the cable release on the outside of the cable retracting and releasing shaft 11. As the inspection robot moves, when the angle needs to be fine-tuned when releasing the cable, the second servo motor 7 can be started to allow the output shaft of the second servo motor 7 to drive the ball screw 81 to rotate. After the ball screw 81 rotates, it can drive the ball screw 81 to rotate. The self-locking ball nut 82 on the outside of the ball screw 81 moves in the horizontal direction. At this time, the self-locking ball nut 82 can drive the movable positioning sleeve 83 to move in the horizontal direction at the same time, and a second connecting frame 87 is fixed at the bottom of the self-locking ball nut 82, and a first connecting frame 86 is fixed at the bottom of the movable positioning sleeve 83, so that the first connecting frame 86 and the second connecting frame 87 can drive the movable guide sleeve 88 to move in the horizontal direction. The movable guide sleeve 88 can move in the horizontal direction on the outside of the guide carbon steel rod 85, which plays a guiding and limiting role. The outer side of the movable guide sleeve 88 is fixedly connected to a carbon steel connecting mounting plate 810 by connecting a carbon steel block 89, and the outer side of the carbon steel connecting mounting plate 810 is movable by guiding The bracket 811 is fixed with a guide cable-retracting connecting rod 812. During the cable-releasing process, the cable is placed on the top of the guide cable-retracting connecting rod 812, so that the position of the movable guide sleeve 88 and the guide cable-retracting connecting rod 812 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the movable positioning sleeve 83 and the self-locking ball nut 82. After the position of the guide cable-retracting connecting rod 812 is adjusted, the cable position during the cable-releasing process can be fine-tuned, so that the angle of the cable-retracting can be fine-tuned. When the angle needs to be fine-tuned during cable-retracting, the second servo motor 7 can be started to allow the output shaft of the second servo motor 7 to drive the ball screw 81 to rotate. After the ball screw 81 rotates, it can drive the self-locking ball nut 81 on the outside of the ball screw 81. 2. The self-locking ball nut 82 can drive the movable positioning sleeve 83 to move horizontally at the same time, so that the first connecting frame 86 and the second connecting frame 87 can drive the movable guide sleeve 88 to move horizontally. The movable guide sleeve 88 can move horizontally on the outside of the guide carbon steel rod 85. During the cable collection process, the cable is placed on the top of the guide cable connection rod 812. Therefore, the position of the movable guide sleeve 88 and the guide cable connection rod 812 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the movable positioning sleeve 83 and the self-locking ball nut 82. After the position of the guide cable connection rod 812 is adjusted, the cable position can be fine-tuned during the cable collection process, which is beneficial to the use of the inspection robot to collect and release the towline;The device is provided with a cable-retracting limit device 9. When the cable of the inspection robot is wound around the outside of the cable-retracting shaft 11, the positions of the two cable-retracting limit plates 91 can be adjusted according to the use requirements of the cable of the inspection robot. When adjusting the position of the cable-retracting limit plate 91, the cast iron handle plate 98 can be pulled toward the top, and the movable cast iron column 97 can be driven to move by the cast iron handle plate 98. The movable cast iron column 97 can drive the limit cast iron plate 95 to move, and the limit cast iron plate 95 squeezes one end of the reset spring 94. At this time, the limiting cast iron plate 95 simultaneously drives the positioning cast iron rod 96 to disengage from the corresponding cable retracting and releasing shaft 11, unlocks the position locking of the positioning fixing sleeve 92, and then moves the positioning fixing sleeve 92 to the outside of the cable retracting and releasing shaft 11. After the positioning fixing sleeve 92 and the cable retracting and releasing limiting plate 91 move to a suitable position, the cast iron handle plate 98 can be loosened to allow the return spring 94 in the positioning fixing housing 93 to push the limiting cast iron plate 95 to move, and the positioning cast iron rod 96 can be movably inserted into the corresponding cable retracting and releasing shaft 11, which can be The multi-gear adjustment of the position of the cable-retracting and -releasing limit plate 91 can be conveniently completed, so as to meet the use requirements of the inspection robot for retracting and releasing the towing cable; during the process of the inspection robot retracting and releasing the towing cable, the third servo motor 143 in the connection shell 142 is not started, which will not affect the normal retracting and releasing of the towing cable by the inspection robot. After the inspection robot has completed the retracting and releasing of the towing cable, in order to avoid the towing cable still being retracted and released to affect the normal use and operation of the inspection robot, the towing cable can be moved and lifted. After the towing cable is lifted, it is specifically set between the two clamping and positioning sleeves 1411, and then the third servo motor 143 is started. The output shaft of the third servo motor 143 drives the metal eccentric wheel 144 to rotate, so that the metal eccentric wheel 144 pushes the movable pad 147 to move, thereby driving the support pad 149 to move through the guide column 148, and moving the clamping and positioning sleeve 1411 at one end of the metal support rod 1410, so that the corresponding surfaces of the two clamping and positioning sleeves 1411 are clamped on the outer side of the corresponding towing cable, and the clamping and fixing of the towing cable is completed, which can cooperate with the inspection robot to retract and release the towing cable. ;
