The wedge 36 corresponds to the charging port 10, and the bottom end of the charging head 34 abuts against the inclined surface of the wedge 36. By providing the electric telescopic rod 33, the electric telescopic rod 33 can be made to push the charging head 34 downward, so that the charging head 34 presses the wedge 36, causing the wedge 36 to compress the second spring 37 and enter the fixed frame 35. Then the charging head 34 continues to move downward through the charging port 10, so that the charging head 34 is inserted into an external charging device for charging, enabling the robot body 1 to automatically control the charging process. After the charging is completed, the electric telescopic rod 33 drives the charging head 34 to move upward, so that the charging head 34 is retracted into the robot body 1. Then the second spring 37 drives the wedge 36 to move out of the fixed frame 35 by its elastic force, so that the wedge 36 blocks the charging port 10.

[0039] Working principle: When in use, first start two first motors 14. The two first motors 14 respectively drive two rotating rods 13 to rotate. The two rotating rods 13 will respectively drive two arc-shaped rotating plates 11 to rotate, causing the two arc-shaped rotating plates 11 to respectively drive two arc-shaped protective covers 12 to rotate, and retract the arc-shaped protective covers 12 into the robot body 1. Then, by adjusting the lifting mechanism 4 to lift the panoramic platform 5, the panoramic platform 5 is moved to a suitable shooting position, enabling multiple cameras 6 to perform panoramic shooting. The captured content is processed and uploaded by the controller 8. The storage battery 7 provides electrical energy for the devices inside the robot body 1. The radar sensor 9 performs radar monitoring. Four drivers 3 respectively drive four moving wheels 2, enabling the robot body 1 to perform mobile patrol. In the event of an emergency, such as when the robot body 1 is hit, the protective rod 15 will be hit first, causing the protective rod 15 to push the long rod 16 and the short rod 17 into the robot body 1. The long rod 16 will activate the transmission mechanism 18, causing the transmission mechanism 18 to drive the corresponding rotating rod 13 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 13 will drive the arc-shaped rotating plate 11 to rotate, causing the arc-shaped rotating plate 11 to drive the arc-shaped protective cover 12 to rotate, so that the arc-shaped protective cover 12 rotates out to protect and block the panoramic platform 5 and the cameras 6, completing the trigger-type rapid protection. After the use of this patrol robot is completed, the robot body 1 is parked in a fixed position. Then the lifting mechanism 4 drives the panoramic platform 5 to descend, and two first motors 14 are started, causing the two arc-shaped protective covers 12 to close to shield and protect the panoramic platform 5.
