[0032] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the slider 1 7 and the slider 2 10 are detachably connected to an L-shaped support base 1 71 and a support base 2 101, respectively. A hinge shaft 1 72 and a hinge shaft 2 102 are fixedly mounted on one side of the support base 1 71 and the support base 2 101, respectively, and are movable through the movable arm 12. The flip assembly 13 drives the movable arm 12 to rotate synchronously and in the same direction relative to the hinge shaft 1 72 and the hinge shaft 2 102. By adopting the above-mentioned support base 1 71, support base 2 101, hinge shaft 1 72 and hinge shaft 2 102, not only can the two ends of the movable arm 12 be hingedly connected to the slider 1 7 and the slider 2 10, respectively, but the detachable support base 1 71 and support base 2 101 also make it convenient for workers to disassemble and repair the parts on the movable arm 12.

[0033] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5As shown, the flip assembly 13 includes a pair of fixed gears 131 respectively fixed on the hinge shaft 1 72 and the hinge shaft 2 102, a pair of rotating shafts 3 132 parallel to the hinge shaft 1 72 or the hinge shaft 2 102 and rotatably connected to the movable arm 12, a pair of movable gears 133 respectively fixed on the rotating shaft 3 132 and respectively engaged with the two fixed gears 131, a pair of sprockets 3 134 respectively fixed on the rotating shaft 3 132, a chain 2 135 sleeved on the two sprockets 3 134, Sliding block 3 136 slidably mounted on movable arm 12 and fixedly connected to chain 2 135 ; screw rod 3 137 rotatably mounted on movable arm 12 and movable through sliding block 3 136 ; nut 3 138 fixed to sliding block 3 136 and threadedly connected to screw rod 3 137 ; bevel gear 1 139 fixedly connected to one end of screw rod 3 137 ; bevel gear 2 13a rotatably mounted on movable arm 12 and meshing with bevel gear 1 139 ; and small motor 3 13b driving bevel gear 2 13a to rotate. A rectangular hole 121 is opened in the middle of the movable arm 12 and passes through both sides thereof, and the sprocket three 134, the chain two 135, the slider three 136, the screw three 137, the nut three 138, the bevel gear one 139 and the bevel gear two 13a are all located in the rectangular hole 121. The rotating shaft three 132 rotates through the movable arm 12, and the rotating shaft three 132 passes through the rectangular hole 121 to connect the sprocket three 134. The rectangular hole 121 is located in the middle of the chain two 135 and a pair of support plates are fixedly provided. 2 124, screw rod 3 137 is vertically located in the middle of chain 2 135, and the upper and lower ends of screw rod 3 137 are respectively rotated to connect the two support plates 2 124, slider 3 136 is located between the two support plates 2 124 and slides back and forth, the upper end of screw rod 3 137 rotates to pass through support plate 2 124 to connect bevel gear 1 139, small motor 3 13b is fixed on the outer wall of movable arm 12, and the output end of small motor 3 13b rotates to pass through the rectangular hole 121 to connect bevel gear 2 13a.

[0034] By adopting the above-mentioned flip assembly 13, when the two ends of the movable arm 12 need to flip relative to the slider 1 7 and the slider 2 10 respectively, first the small motor 3 13b drives the bevel gear 2 13a, so that the bevel gear 2 13a engages with the transmission bevel gear 1 139 to rotate, and then the bevel gear 1 139 drives the screw rod 3 137 to rotate. Since the nut 3 138 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 3 137 and the nut 3 138 is fixed on the slider 3 136, under the rotation of the screw rod 3 137, the nut 3 138 will drive the slider 3 136 to slide along the axis direction of the screw rod 3 137, and then the slider 3 136 drives the chain The movement of the second hinge 135 causes the two sprockets 3 134 to rotate synchronously. Subsequently, the two sprockets 3 134, via their respective connected rotating shafts 3 132, drive the two movable gears 133 to rotate. Because the fixed gear 131 is fixed to the first hinge 72 or the second hinge 102 and cannot rotate on its own, the movable gears 133 rotate and move around the fixed gear 131. Finally, the two ends of the flip arm flip relative to the first hinge 72 and the second hinge 102, respectively, under the movement of the two movable gears 133, thereby achieving the effect of fine-tuning the front, back, and up and down position of the inspection camera device 14. The rectangular hole 121 of the movable arm 12 not only provides installation space for most of the components of the flip assembly 13, but also ensures the transmission safety of each component.

[0035] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, each side of the movable arm 12 is provided with an elongated hole 122 that communicates with the interior of the rectangular hole 121. A sliding rod 136a is fixedly mounted at each end of the slider 3 136, passing through the elongated hole 122. The sliding rod 136a slides within the elongated hole 122. A double-headed pointer 136b is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 136a extending out of the elongated hole 122. Scales 123 displaying the horizontal and vertical distances between the slider 1 7 and the slider 2 10 are fixedly mounted on the sidewall of the movable arm 12, located on either side of the double-headed pointer 136b. The use of the elongated holes 122 and sliding rod 136a not only further enhances the sliding stability of the slider 3 136 within the rectangular hole 121, but also, in conjunction with the double-headed pointer 136b and scale 123, allows for real-time display of the horizontal and vertical distances between the slider 1 7 and the slider 2 10, facilitating precise adjustment of the front, back, and top, bottom positions of the inspection camera 14.

[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0037] When the rotating component 5 is used to control the rotation of the rotating table 4, the angular position of the inspection camera equipment 14 can be adjusted to a certain extent; when the flipping component 13 is used to control the flipping movement of the two ends of the movable arm 12 relative to the support arm 1 6 and the support arm 2 9, the relative distance between the support arm 1 6 and the support arm 2 9 in the horizontal and vertical directions can be increased or decreased, and the front and rear up and down positions of the inspection camera equipment 14 can be slightly adjusted in the horizontal and vertical directions; when the sliding component 1 8 and the sliding component 2 11 are used to control the sliding of the slider 1 7 and the slider 2 10 respectively, the movable arm 12 and the support arm 2 9 can be driven to rise and fall relative to the support arm 1 6, thereby greatly adjusting the height position of the inspection camera equipment 14. At the same time, if the flipping component 13 is used to make the movable arm 12 and the support arm 1 6 and the support arm 2 9 vertically parallel to each other, then when the movable arm 12 and the support arm 2 9 are raised to the highest position, the effect of the support arm 1 6, the support arm 2 9 and the movable arm 12 being folded together in parallel can be achieved.

[0038] The mechanical arm structure composed of the above-mentioned support arm 1 6, support arm 2 9 and movable arm 12 and other components can not only flexibly adjust the height, level and angle position of the inspection camera equipment 14 to improve the inspection range of the inspection robot and enhance the inspection flexibility of the inspection robot, but also the support arm 1 6, support arm 2 9 and movable arm 12 and other components that adjust the position of the inspection camera equipment 14 can also be folded under certain conditions, so that the inspection robot can fully adapt to different inspection environments. At the same time, after folding, it can also easily pass through various narrow gaps and door openings, thereby enhancing the passability of the inspection robot.
