In the normal state, multiple connecting plates 6 and multiple airbag bags 7 form an annular structure, and the horizontal length of the connecting plates 6 is smaller than that of the airbag bags 7. When in use, the connecting plates 6 and the airbag bags 7 with an annular structure on the outside protect the robot equipment itself, avoiding direct collisions with the outside of the main station 3 to cause damage to the internal electronic components or affect the work; when inspecting on the primary school campus, if students run and collide with the outside of the robot, the airbag bags 7 distributed over a large area can provide collision buffering protection for the students to avoid injuries, and the airbag bags 7 can be movably arranged along the connecting plates 6 to improve the buffering protection effect; if the students collide with the position of the connecting plates 6, the airbag bags 7 on both sides can be compressed and wrapped inward by the telescopic mechanism 8 to provide protection;

During the rotation of the main station 3, if there is an obstacle in the forward direction of rotation or a student suddenly appears, the connecting plates 6 can slide toward the airbag bag 7 to avoid direct collision, and the sliding of the connecting plates 6 toward the airbag bag 7 can inflate the airbag bag 7 to improve the collision protection effect; thus, through the sliding connection setting of the above-mentioned multiple connecting plates 6 and the airbag bag 7, the anti-collision protection effect of the inspection robot on itself and students in the primary school campus can be effectively improved.

[0029] In the present invention, two sealing strips are provided in the airbag bag 7, a sealing cavity is provided in the airbag bag 7 between the two sealing strips, air cavities 701 are provided on both sides of the sealing cavity of the airbag bag 7, the air cavity 701 is provided away from the end opening of the sealing cavity, sealing frames 9 are fixed at both ends of the airbag bag 7, a through groove is provided in the middle position of the sealing frame 9, the inner wall of the through groove is in sliding contact with the outer wall of the connecting plate 6, the outer wall of the connecting plate 6 is located in the air cavity 701 and is fixed with an inner plate 10, the outer side of the inner plate 10 is in sliding contact with the inner side of the air cavity 701, the outer wall of the connecting plate 6 is located outside the airbag bag 7 and is fixed with an outer plate 11, the cross section of the inner plate 10 and the outer plate 11 is The surfaces are larger than the inner cross-section of the groove, and the sealing cavity and the cavity between the sealing strip and the inner plate 10 are filled with gas.
