The signal sent by the signal transmitter 4 is then operated, driving the differential 10 to rotate, adjusting the moving direction, and then turning on the first motor 11. The differential 10 transmits the signal to rotate the two sets of drive wheels 12 to move the equipment.

Then the camera 23 and the gas detector 22 are controlled by the controller 20. The detection results of the gas detector 22 and the sound detector 21 are analyzed to determine whether there are faults or leaks in the surrounding equipment and pipelines. Then, the data collected by the camera 23, the gas detector 22 and the sound detector 21 are received through the data receiving module 24, and the data collected by the camera 23 is transmitted to the data analysis module 1 25 through the data receiving module 24, the data collected by the gas detector 22 is transmitted to the data analysis module 2 26 through the data receiving module 24, and the data collected by the sound detector 21 is transmitted to the data analysis module 3 27 through the data receiving module 24.

After a group of storage tanks 40 are filled, a group of electric control valves 44 are closed, and another group of electric control valves 44 are opened to fill another group of storage tanks 40. At the same time, the fifth motor 51 is turned on to loosen the air delivery pipe 52. At the same time, the drone 53 takes off and flies to the explosion-proof vent position on the top of the natural gas station. The exhaust pump 47 is turned on to make the natural gas around the leak flow through the recovery pipe 46, the connecting pipe 2 55, the exhaust pump 47, the transfer pipe 50, the reel shaft 49 and the air delivery pipe 52 in turn, and then the natural gas is sprayed out through the nozzle 54, so that the ventilation system of the natural gas station discharges the natural gas, prevents the accumulation of natural gas, and prevents the occurrence of natural gas explosion, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0061] The main functions achieved by the present invention are:

[0062] 1. Through the cooperation between the mobile mechanism and the detection mechanism, automatic inspection is realized, the inspection efficiency is improved, and the data is quickly transmitted, which reduces the impact of the operation of surrounding equipment on data transmission;
