[0026] 1 to 4, a parking lot inspection robot comprises a robot body 1, the upper surface of the robot body 1 is rotatably connected with a camera 2, one side of the camera 2 is fixedly connected with a U-shaped frame 12 by bolts, both side inner walls of the U-shaped frame 12 are fixedly connected with a group of multi-section electric push rods 14 by bolts, and each group has two multi-section electric push rods 14, one end of the two multi-section electric push rods 14 is fixedly connected with a brush plate 13 by bolts, a brush is provided on the side of the brush plate 13 close to the camera 2, and the brush is in contact with the camera 2, and the brush plate 13 can be driven to reciprocate in the U-shaped frame 12 by starting the multi-section electric push rod 14 to extend and retract, and because the brush plate 13 is in contact with the surface of the camera 2, the dust attached to the surface of the camera 2 can be cleaned during the reciprocating motion, thereby preventing the problem of unclear picture caused by obstruction of the line of sight of the camera 2 due to long-term dust accumulation.

[0027] In the utility model, a collecting box 16 is clamped at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 12. Dust is generated during the cleaning process of the brush plate 13 on the camera 2 and can fall into the collecting box 16 to collect the cleaned dust. The structure is simple and convenient for the staff to clean. Two connecting plates 17 are welded on the upper surface of the collecting box 16, and the two connecting plates 17 are symmetrically distributed at the two ends of the upper surface of the collecting box 16. The upper surfaces of the two connecting plates 17 are fixedly connected with two elastic clamping plates 18 by bolts. Blocks 19 are welded on the outer walls of both sides of the U-shaped frame 12, and the block 19 is clamped between the two elastic clamping plates 18, so that the collecting box 16 can be fixed and the staff can take it down conveniently. Two sliding rods 15 are fixedly connected between the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped frame 12 by bolts, and the two sliding rods 15 pass through the brush plate 13, so as to guide the brush plate 13 during the reciprocating motion to prevent the brush plate 13 from During the movement, the robot body 1 tilts, resulting in a stuck situation. Both sides of the robot body 1 are fixedly connected with protective plates 5 by bolts, and one side of the protective plate 5 is fixedly connected with a protective frame 7 by bolts. One side of the protective plate 5 is bonded with a rubber pad 6, and one side of the rubber pad 6 is provided with multiple protrusions to increase wear resistance, and can protect the robot body 1 to prevent the robot body 1 from bumping during the movement, thereby causing damage to the robot body 1. A warning sticker 9 is bonded to one side of the robot body 1. The upper surface of the camera 2 is fixedly connected with two fixing plates 10 by bolts, and one side of the two fixing plates 10 is fixedly connected with a canopy 11 by bolts to prevent rain from directly pouring on the camera 2 when it rains.

A solar panel 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the robot body 1 by bolts, and the robot body 1 can be charged in time to increase the use time.

[0028] Working principle: When it is necessary to clean the dust on the surface of the camera 2, the multi-section electric push rod 14 is started to extend and retract. The extension and retraction of the multi-section electric push rod 14 can drive the brush plate 13 to reciprocate in the U-shaped frame 12. Since the brush plate 13 is in contact with the surface of the camera 2, the dust attached to the surface of the camera 2 can be cleaned during the reciprocating motion, thereby preventing the problem of unclear images caused by the obstruction of the camera 2's line of sight due to long-term dust accumulation. When the staff needs to clean the dust in the collection box 16, the collection box 16 is directly pulled downward. When it is pulled hard, the elastic splint 18 can be disengaged from the block 19, so that the collection box 16 can be removed. After cleaning, when the collection box 16 is put back to its original position, the elastic splint 18 on the collection box 16 is aligned with the blocks 19 on both sides of the camera 2. After alignment, the collection box 16 is pushed upward to make the block 19 squeeze the elastic splint 18 to tilt to both sides. Continuing to push can make the block 19 stuck in the two elastic splints 18 Thus, the collecting box 16 is fixed.

[0029] In addition, the terms "installation", "setting", "connection" and "socketing" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, elements or components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application according to specific circumstances.
