[0043] Through the cooperation between the lifting positioning unit 200 and the squeezing positioning unit 300, when the robot needs to be positioned, the lifting slot 2021 in the combination slot 202 drives the push plate 203 to move toward the inspection track 400.

At this time, the lifting roller 2051 at the end of the rocker arm 205 can contact and squeeze the bottom of the inspection track 400, further achieving the locking purpose. When the push plate 203 moves the extrusion groove 2022, the slope 2023 opened on the extrusion groove 2022 guides the entire insertion rod 303 to move downward, and the insertion rod 303 drives the fixed block 301 to move downward. The end of the fixed block 301 can squeeze the flat plate 3011 to move downward, and the squeezing roller 3013 on the flat plate 3011 squeezes the inspection track 400, achieving the purpose of secondary fixation.

The transmission shaft 1041 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 104, and the transmission shaft 1041 drives the driving wheel 1042 to rotate. At this time, the driving wheel 1042 rotates on the inspection track 400, thereby driving the entire inspection unit 100 to move, so that different positions of the bridge can be inspected.

[0047] Embodiment 2:
[0048] The difference between the above embodiment and this embodiment is that: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the positioning bracket 2031 is triangular, and a protrusion 2032 is installed at the bottom of the positioning bracket 2031.

When the horizontal rod 2041 slides, the first baffle 2044 on the horizontal rod 2041 slides inside the T-shaped cover 204. At this time, the first spring 2045 on the first baffle 2044 is stretched, and when the vertical rod 2042 slides downward, the second baffle 2046 squeezes the second spring 2047, and the first spring 2045 and the second spring 2047 are used to facilitate the subsequent resetting operation.

When the push plate 203 slides, the connecting seat 2052 on the push plate 203 drives the rocker arm 205 to move, and the rocker arm 205 can insert the lifting roller 2051 on the surface under the first substrate 402, and when the push plate 203 drives the T-shaped cover 204 to move, the vertical rod 2042 moves downward, and the vertical rod 2042 drives the positioning slider 2063 of the side wall to slide on the positioning slide groove 2064, and the connecting rod 2062 on the positioning slider 2063 slides downward synchronously. The connecting rod 2062 drives the slide plate 206 at the end to slide downward, and a slide bar 2055 is slidably set in the strip groove 2061 inside the slide plate 206. At this time, the pressure rod 2054 equipped with the slide bar 2055 starts to rotate, and the pressure rod 2054 drives the coaxially connected rocker arm 205 to rotate, and the rocker arm 205 drives the lifting roller 2051 to rotate. At this time, the lifting roller 2051 can be squeezed to the lower surface of the first substrate 402, and finally cooperate with the vertical rod 2042 below to achieve a fixing effect.
[0051] Embodiment 3:
[0052] The difference between the above embodiment and this embodiment is that: Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a synchronous bracket 3012 is installed on the flat plate 3011, and a pair of squeezing rollers 3013 are installed on the synchronous bracket 3012. One end of the flat plate 3011 is slidably set in a guide groove 3014 opened on the surface of the fixed block 301. A guide rod 3015 is installed through the guide groove 3014, and the guide rod 3015 is movably connected to the flat plate 3011. A guide spring 3016 is sleeved on the guide rod 3015, and one end of the guide spring 3016 is clamped on the guide groove 3014, and the other end is clamped on the bottom of the flat plate 3011. A sealing plate 3021 is installed on the side wall of the reset cover 302, and a cover plate 1031 is slidably arranged on the sealing plate 3021. The cover plate 1031 is installed on the control box 103, and a notch 1032 is opened on the cover plate 1031. The size of the notch 1032 corresponds to the size of the sealing plate 3021. A reset plate 3022 is slidably arranged inside the reset cover 302, one end of the reset plate 3022 is interconnected with the fixed block 301, and the other end of the reset plate 3022 is interconnected with the insertion rod 303. A reset spring 3023 is installed on the fixed block 301 located in the inner cavity of the reset cover 302, and both ends of the reset spring 3023 are respectively clamped in the reset plate 3022 and the inner cavity of the reset cover 302. After the protrusion 2032 slides from the lifting groove 2021 to the extrusion groove 2022, since the extrusion groove 2022 is provided with a slope 2023, the reset plate 3022 is squeezed and moves downward through the guidance of the slope 2023 and the compressed reset spring 3023. The insertion rod 303 at the bottom of the reset plate 3022 slides downward to ensure that the bottom of the insertion rod 303 is in contact with the slope 2023, and the reset plate 3022 can drive the fixed block 301 to move downward. At this time, when the fixed block 301 moves to the bottom, the end face of the guide groove 3014 on the fixed block 301 squeezes the flat plate 3011, so that the flat plate 3011, the synchronous bracket 3012 and the extrusion roller 3013 are fully pressed downward to extrude and position the second substrate 403.
[0053] The implementation principle of a rail-type bridge inspection robot in this embodiment is as follows:
[0054] When the robot is inspecting normally, the drive motor 104 drives the transmission shaft 1041 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 1041 drives the driving wheel 1042 to rotate. At this time, the driving wheel 1042 rotates on the inspection track 400, thereby driving the entire inspection unit 100 to move, so that different positions of the bridge can be inspected, and the mechanical arm 101 on the inspection unit 100 can control the position of the inspection camera 102, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the angle and position.
[0055] When the robot encounters strong winds during inspection.
[0056] First, the operator needs to start the electric push rod 201, which drives the L-shaped plate 2011 to move outward, and the L-shaped plate 2011 drives the limit block 2012 on the surface to move. At this time, the limit block 2012 slides along the limit rod 2013, and the moving position is limited by the limit rod 2013.
[0057] When the limit block 2012 slides, the position of the combination groove 202 on the limit block 2012 changes. At this time, the positioning bracket 2031 on the limited push plate 203 slides in the combination groove 202, and the protrusion 2032 at the bottom of the positioning bracket 2031 slides in the jacking groove 2021. Since the jacking groove 2021 is in an inclined state and the jacking groove 2021 is moving, the entire protrusion 2032, the positioning bracket 2031 and the push plate 203 are pushed to slide. At this time, the push plate 203 drives the T-shaped cover 204 at the end to move toward the vertical plate 401 of the inspection track 400.
[0058] When the lifting plate 2043 on the horizontal rod 2041 in the T-shaped cover 204 contacts the vertical plate 401, the horizontal rod 2041 slides toward the inside of the T-shaped cover 204 under the influence of the squeezing force, and the angle of the swing arm 2048 at the end of the horizontal rod 2041 changes, and the swing arm 2048 can push the vertical rods 2042 at both ends to move downward, wherein the bottom vertical rod 2042 drives the bottom lifting plate 2043 to contact the first base plate 402 first, and with the increase of squeezing force, the entire T-shaped cover 204 has a tendency to move upward. 04 moves upward, the T-shaped cover 204 drives the driving wheel 1042 to move upward. At this time, the driving wheel 1042 and the first substrate 402 are separated, so that the original connection method through the driving wheel 1042 is changed to a connection through the lifting plate 2043, wherein the lifting plate 2043 has a large contact area, so the stability can be improved, which is convenient for resisting crosswinds in the later stage. When the T-shaped cover 204 moves up to a certain extent, the vertical rods 2042 at the upper and lower ends can respectively rest against the surfaces of the first substrate 402 and the second substrate 403, thereby increasing the contact area and further improving the stability.
[0059] When the horizontal rod 2041 slides, the first baffle 2044 on the horizontal rod 2041 slides inside the T-shaped cover 204. At this time, the first spring 2045 on the first baffle 2044 is stretched, and when the vertical rod 2042 slides downward, the second baffle 2046 squeezes the second spring 2047, and the first spring 2045 and the second spring 2047 are used to facilitate the subsequent resetting operation.
[0060] When the push plate 203 slides, the connecting seat 2052 on the push plate 203 drives the rocker arm 205 to move, and the rocker arm 205 can insert the lifting roller 2051 on the surface under the first substrate 402, and when the push plate 203 drives the T-shaped cover 204 to move, the vertical rod 2042 moves downward, and the vertical rod 2042 drives the positioning slider 2063 of the side wall to slide on the positioning slide groove 2064, and the connecting rod 2062 on the positioning slider 2063 slides downward synchronously. The connecting rod 2062 drives the slide plate 206 at the end to slide downward, and a slide bar 2055 is slidably set in the strip groove 2061 inside the slide plate 206. At this time, the pressure rod 2054 equipped with the slide bar 2055 starts to rotate, and the pressure rod 2054 drives the coaxially connected rocker arm 205 to rotate, and the rocker arm 205 drives the lifting roller 2051 to rotate. At this time, the lifting roller 2051 can be squeezed to the lower surface of the first substrate 402, and finally cooperate with the vertical rod 2042 below to achieve a fixing effect.
[0061] When the protrusion 2032 slides from the lifting groove 2021 to the extrusion groove 2022, due to the ramp 2023 provided on the extrusion groove 2022, the reset plate 3022 is squeezed and moves downward by the guidance of the ramp 2023 and the compressed return spring 3023. The insertion rod 303 at the bottom of the reset plate 3022 slides downward to ensure that the bottom of the insertion rod 303 fits the ramp 2023, and the reset plate 3022 can drive the fixed block 301 to move downward. At this time, when the fixed block 301 moves to the bottom, the end face of the guide groove 3014 on the fixed block 301 squeezes the flat plate 3011, so that the flat plate 3011, the synchronous bracket 3012 and the extrusion roller 3013 are fully pressed downward to squeeze and position the second substrate 403, and finally complete the positioning operation. The flat plate 3011 always slides on the guide rod 3015 and stretches the guide spring 3016, which facilitates the later reset by stretching the guide spring 3016.
