When the inspection robot body 1 needs to pass through the narrow area with limited height, the lifting seat 74 is pressed downward, and the connecting seat 73 squeezes the spring 72 downward. The storage groove 71 is fixedly connected to an articulated seat 75, and the articulated seat 75 is articulated with an articulated rod 76. The articulated rod 76 is slidably connected to the clamping groove 78 opened in the clamping block 77.

The hinge rod 76 rotates around the hinge seat 75, and the image sensor assembly 6 will descend together with the lifting seat 74, thereby lowering the height of the entire image sensor assembly 6 so that it can pass through the narrow area with limited height. When the inspection robot passes through the limited height area, the compressed spring 72 releases its elastic potential energy, bounces the connecting seat 73 and the lifting seat 74 upward, and restores the image sensor assembly 6 to its original height position, facilitating normal inspection operations.

A limit block 86 is fixedly connected in the movable groove 85, and a sliding limit block 86 is slidably connected in the limit block 86. A rack 87 is movably connected thereto, and the connecting rod 83 presses the inclined surface of the rack 87 downwardly. The rack 87 is limited by the limit block 86 and slides linearly. A stop block 89 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rack 87, and the stop block 89 is elastically connected to the limit block 86 through a spring three 88.

The movable gear 810 is meshed with the rack 87, and the movable gear 810 is fixedly connected with a protective shell 811. The rack 87 slides to achieve meshing connection with the movable gear 810. As the movable gear 810 rotates, the protective shell 811 will gradually flip over and finally fit with the lens of the image sensor assembly 6.

Due to the friction during rotation, the end of the lubrication roller 92 away from the fixed shaft 94 is fixedly connected to the adjustment block 95, and the extrusion block 97 is slidably connected in the adjustment block 95. During the downward sliding of the connecting rod 83, the extrusion block 97 is in an expanded state at the connection point between the lifting slot 81 and the square slot 91. The sliding of the extrusion block 97 in the adjustment block 95 drives the lubrication roller 92 to flip. The extrusion block 97 is elastically connected to the connecting rod 83 through a spring four 96. After the connecting rod 83 drives the lubrication assembly 9 to flip and lubricate the turntable 601, the inclined surface of the extrusion block 97 is subjected to the downward extrusion force and shrinks into the connecting rod 83 under the action of the spring four 96.
