[0029] In this embodiment: the shock absorbing component 2 can reduce vibration, making the detection result more accurate and playing a role of shock absorption.

[0030] Working principle: When the detection robot is needed, put the robot underground. A motor is installed inside the robot to drive the B universal wheel 12 to move, walk underground, start the detector 10, and detect. When an abnormality is detected, the alarm 11 will prompt, and the personnel will record and perform maintenance. Then, during the detection, the areas surveyed at different heights are different. According to the required height, adjust the position of the main telescopic rod 701 and the auxiliary telescopic rod 702. After adjusting to the appropriate height, use the B bolt 703 to fix it.
