DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example: See Figures 1 to 4 , a water inspection robot includes a robot body 1, which can move on the water surface. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] This embodiment also includes: a supporting plate 2, a first lifting mechanism 4, a second lifting mechanism 5, a mounting plate 6 and a transparent waterproof cover 7, which are used to solve the problem in the prior art that the conditions on the water surface can only be monitored in real time by a monitor, but the conditions under the water surface cannot be monitored.

[0032] The carrying plate 2 is arranged in a vertical direction for mounting other components. A clearance opening 3 is provided from top to bottom on the robot body 1 for the carrying plate 2 to pass through, so that the carrying plate 2 can pass through the clearance opening 3 and go deep into the water body or move to the water surface.

[0033] In this embodiment, it should be supplemented that a top plate 8 arranged in the horizontal direction is fixed to the upper end of the carrier plate 2, which can protect the upper part of the transparent waterproof cover 7. A bottom plate 9 arranged in the horizontal direction is fixed to the lower end of the carrier plate 2, which can prevent the carrier plate 2 from over-displacing upward. Preferably, the size of the top plate 8 is larger than the size of the clearance opening 3, and the size of the bottom plate 9 is larger than the size of the clearance opening 3, so that neither the top plate 8 nor the bottom plate 9 can pass through the clearance opening 3, thereby preventing the carrier plate 2 from over-displacing and detaching from the clearance opening 3.

[0034] In addition, the mounting plate 6 is arranged in the horizontal direction and fixed on the moving part of the second lifting mechanism 5, and can be lifted and lowered under the drive of the second lifting mechanism 5. The transparent waterproof cover 7 is fixed on the top of the mounting plate 6, and a monitor located in the transparent waterproof cover 7 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 6. When the mounting plate 6 is located above the water surface, the conditions on the water surface can be monitored by the monitor. When the mounting plate 6 is located below the water surface, the conditions under the water surface can be monitored by the monitor, and the transparent waterproof cover 7 can be used to protect the monitor to prevent the monitor from being directly in contact with the water body and causing damage.

[0035] The first lifting mechanism 4 is introduced as follows:

[0036] The first lifting mechanism 4 is arranged at the top of the robot body 1, and the moving parts of the first lifting mechanism 4 are connected to the carrier plate 2, and are used to drive the carrier plate 2 to move up and down. Specifically, the first lifting mechanism 4 includes a plurality of racks 401 fixed on the carrier plate 2 in parallel and at intervals, and each rack 401 is arranged in the vertical direction. A driving assembly is installed on the top of the robot body 1, and the output end of the driving assembly is connected to a gear 402 meshing with each rack 401. When the driving assembly drives each gear 402 to rotate, the carrier plate 2 can be driven to move upward or downward through the cooperation of the gear 402 and the rack 401.

[0037] It should be noted that the driving assembly includes a first servo motor 403 installed on the top of the robot body 1, and the output end of the first servo motor 403 is connected to the rotating shaft 404, and each gear 402 is fixed on the rotating shaft 404. When the first servo motor 403 is working, it can drive the rotating shaft 404 to rotate forward or reverse, thereby driving the supporting plate 2 to move upward or downward through the cooperation of the gear 402 and the rack 401.

[0038] It should be added that the lifting mechanism 4 also includes two guide sliders 405 fixed in the clearance opening 3, the two guide sliders 405 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the carrier plate 2, and a guide slot 406 for the edge of the carrier plate 2 to move through is provided on the side of each guide slider 405 close to the carrier plate 2. Through the cooperation of the guide sliders 405 and the guide slots 406, the carrier plate 2 can be guided so that the carrier plate 2 can only move up and down and cannot shake left and right.

[0039] In this embodiment, two auxiliary guide protrusions 10 are fixed in the guide slot 406, and the two auxiliary guide protrusions 10 are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the carrier plate 2, and auxiliary guide grooves 11 for sliding the auxiliary guide protrusions 10 are provided at the front and rear sides of the carrier plate 2. Through the cooperation of the auxiliary guide protrusions 10 and the auxiliary guide grooves 11, the carrier plate 2 can be further guided so that the carrier plate 2 cannot shake forward and backward.

[0040] The second lifting mechanism 5 is introduced as follows:

[0041] The second lifting mechanism 5 is arranged on the carrier plate 2, and is used to drive the installation plate 6 to be lifted or lowered. Specifically, the second lifting mechanism 5 includes a plurality of connecting rods 501 fixed to the side of the installation plate 6 close to the carrier plate 2, and strip holes 502 corresponding to the connecting rods 501 are penetrated on the carrier plate 2, and the strip holes 502 are arranged in the vertical direction. The connecting rods 501 move through the corresponding strip holes 502 in the horizontal direction and can slide up and down in the strip holes 502. A lifting plate 503 is fixed to the ends of the connecting rods 501, and when the lifting plate 503 is lifted or lowered, the installation plate 6 can be driven to move synchronously.

[0042] It should be added that the second lifting mechanism 5 also includes a screw sleeve 504 fixed on the lifting plate 503, a screw rod 505 which is screw-matched with the screw sleeve 504 is rotatably connected on the carrier plate 2 through the cooperation of the bearing and the shaft seat, and a second servo motor 506 which is transmission-connected with the screw rod 505 is installed on the carrier plate 2. When the second servo motor 506 is working, it can drive the screw rod 505 to rotate forward or reverse, so that the lifting plate 503 is driven to move upward or downward through the cooperation of the screw rod 505 and the screw sleeve 504, and then drive the mounting plate 6 to move synchronously.

[0043] In this embodiment, a plurality of guide rods 507 parallel to the screw rod 505 are movably provided on the lifting plate 503, and each guide rod 507 is fixed to the carrying plate 2. The lifting plate 503 can be guided by the guide rods 507 so that the lifting plate 503 can only move up and down, and the lifting plate 503 is prevented from rotating when the screw rod 505 rotates.

[0044] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.
