Therefore, inspection robots can replace manual labor to inspect production lines, buildings, transportation, and power equipment, reducing the workload and human errors of manual inspections, significantly improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and improving the working environment.

[0003] At present, the patent with announcement number CN104890759B discloses a quadruped robot, which mainly includes a frame, a dust cover and four mechanical legs with exactly the same structure, namely, a left front leg, a right front leg, a left hind leg and a right hind leg; twelve servo motors are installed in the frame, including 4 lifting motors, 4 pushing motors and 4 swinging motors, which are used to drive the four mechanical legs, and every three motors control one mechanical leg to realize the rise and fall, forward, backward and side swing movement of the mechanical leg; the frame includes a connecting plate, a square-shaped mounting plate and a rod, the connecting plate is located on both sides of the square-shaped mounting plate, which is used to fix the square-shaped mounting plate, and the components are fixed and connected by screws; the designed rod mechanism structure is simple and ingenious, which can effectively reduce the mass of the legs, reduce the energy consumption of the robot, and at the same time can significantly increase the load capacity. It has the common advantages of all quadruped robots, and can realize a variety of gaits, including 1324 gait, pseudo-1324 gait and diagonal gait through coordinated control of the legs, thereby effectively meeting the needs of various terrains.

[0004] However, the following problems still exist in the current use of quadruped robots:

[0005] When the above-mentioned quadruped robot is in use, it uses four legs for support, so the contact area with the ground is small. In addition, when it is subjected to external force or collision during the inspection process, it is easy to fall due to the instability of the body, thereby causing damage and wear to the detection equipment and camera equipment on the robot. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides an electric power inspection robot, which improves the stability of the robot when in use by adding a four-legged support structure, thereby avoiding the situation where the robot easily topples over due to collision.

[0007] The utility model provides the following technical solutions: an electric power inspection robot comprises an inspection body, an upper end of which is provided with a monitoring probe for inspecting electric power, a front side of the inspection body is provided with a walking probe and a radar, and a side of the inspection body is provided with a walking support leg; a splicing plate is provided at the lower end of the walking support leg, and an anti-skid plate is provided at the lower end of the splicing plate, a limiting plate is fitted on the outer surface of the splicing plate, and an extension plate is fixedly provided on the limiting plate, a pushing spring is provided at the lower end of the extension plate, and an auxiliary baffle is fixedly provided at the lower end of the pushing spring.

[0008] Furthermore, an installation component is provided at the upper end of the splicing plate, and the installation component includes a fixing plate and fixing screws, and the fixing plate is fixedly installed on the splicing plate, the fixing screws pass through the fixing plate, and the fixing screws are connected to the walking support legs through threaded holes opened on the sides of the walking support legs. Through the above structure, the splicing plate can be easily installed or quickly disassembled under the action of the fixing screws.

[0009] Furthermore, the extension plate is configured as a plate-like structure with an obtuse angle, and two extension plates are symmetrically arranged front and back about the center of the splicing plate. Through the above structure, the extension plates can be used to provide auxiliary support to the robot when the robot is tilted.

[0010] Furthermore, a guide plate is provided in the square groove at the lower end of the extension plate, and the guide plate is fixedly mounted on the auxiliary baffle. Through the above structure, the movement range of the auxiliary baffle can be limited under the action of the guide plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a positioning assembly is provided on the limiting plate, and the positioning assembly includes a locking rod and a locking spring, and the locking rod is arranged through the limiting plate, and the locking rod is locked with the splicing plate through grooves equidistantly provided on the side of the splicing plate, and the locking spring is installed on the limiting plate. Through the above structure, it is convenient to realize the locking and fixing between the limiting plate and the splicing plate through the locking rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking spring is fixedly mounted on the locking rod, and the locking rod is elastically connected to the limiting plate via the locking spring. Through the above structure, the locking rod can be pulled to move under the action of the locking spring.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The electric power inspection robot can support the robot when it is tilted due to external force by adding an extension plate and an auxiliary baffle plate to the splicing plate, and can push the robot back to its original position by pushing the spring to deform by extrusion and restore the deformation, thereby reducing the instability of the body caused by external force, and can effectively ensure the stability of the robot when in use, and the clamping height of the extension plate can be adjusted by the clamping rod, so that the degree of support can be adjusted according to environmental needs.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 5The utility model provides a technical solution: an electric power inspection robot, comprising an inspection body 1, a monitoring probe for inspecting electric power is arranged at the upper end thereof, and a walking probe and a radar are arranged at the front side of the inspection body 1, and a walking support leg 2 is arranged at the side of the inspection body 1; a splicing plate 3 is arranged at the lower end of the walking support leg 2, and an anti-slip plate 4 is arranged at the lower end of the splicing plate 3; a mounting assembly 5 is arranged at the upper end of the splicing plate 3, and the mounting assembly 5 includes a fixing plate 501 and a fixing screw 502, and the fixing plate 501 is fixedly installed on the splicing plate 3, the fixing screw 502 runs through the fixing plate 501, and the fixing screw 502 is connected to the walking support leg 2 through a threaded hole opened on the side of the walking support leg 2;

[0023] When the device needs to be used, the driving structure inside the inspection body 1 can drive the walking support legs 2 to walk and move (the walking and moving principle of the walking support legs 2 is consistent with that of the existing quadruped robot), and a walking probe and a radar are provided at the front side of the inspection body 1 to facilitate the control of the moving direction of the inspection body 1, and a monitoring probe for power inspection is provided at the upper end of the inspection body 1, so that the inspection picture can be transmitted back to the terminal through the signal transmission device inside the inspection body 1, and the walking support legs 2 can be supported by the anti-skid plate 4 during walking, and the surface of the anti-skid plate 4 is provided with a circle of anti-slip rubber pads, so as to effectively increase the stability of the walking support legs 2 and avoid When slipping occurs during walking, when the lower end of the anti-skid plate 4 is excessively worn as the use time increases, the fixing screw 502 is turned, and the fixing screw 502 begins to move away from the fixing plate 501 until the fixing screw 502 is no longer connected to the threaded hole opened on the walking support leg 2. At this time, the splicing plate 3 can be pulled downward, and the splicing plate 3 begins to move away from the walking support leg 2. At this time, the splicing plate 3 can be disassembled, so that the worn splicing plate 3 and the anti-skid plate 4 can be replaced separately (when the anti-skid plate 4 is excessively worn, it will cause the lower end of the walking support leg 2 to be unstable, that is, affect the stability of the inspection body 1), so as to achieve the purpose of quickly replacing the anti-skid plate 4;

[0024] A limiting plate 6 is fitted on the outer surface of the splicing plate 3, and an extension plate 7 is fixedly arranged on the limiting plate 6, a pushing spring 10 is arranged at the lower end of the extension plate 7, and an auxiliary baffle 9 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the pushing spring 10; the extension plate 7 is arranged as a plate-shaped structure with an obtuse angle, and two extension plates 7 are arranged symmetrically front and back about the center of the splicing plate 3; a guide plate 8 is arranged in a square groove opened at the lower end of the extension plate 7, and the guide plate 8 is fixedly installed on the auxiliary baffle 9; a positioning component 11 is arranged on the limiting plate 6, and the positioning component 11 includes a locking rod 111 and a locking spring 112, and the locking rod 111 is arranged on the limiting plate 6, and the locking rod 111 is connected with the splicing plate 3 through the grooves opened at equal distances on the side of the splicing plate 3, and the locking spring 112 is installed on the limiting plate 6; the locking spring 112 is fixedly installed on the locking rod 111, and the locking rod 111 is elastically connected with the limiting plate 6 through the locking spring 112;

[0025] When the locking rod 111 is pulled, the locking rod 111 moves in the direction away from the limiting plate 6. Because the locking spring 112 is installed on the locking rod 111, the locking spring 112 begins to be stretched and deformed until the locking rod 111 no longer fits with the groove opened on the side of the splicing plate 3. At this time, the height of the limiting plate 6 can be adjusted up and down, that is, the height of the limiting plate 6 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of auxiliary support at different heights according to different use environments. When the inspection body 1 is tilted due to external force, the auxiliary baffle 9 on the tilted side begins to contact the ground. At this time, the guide plate 8 installed on the auxiliary baffle 9 begins to slide in the groove opened on the extension plate 7, and the pushing spring 10 installed on the upper end of the auxiliary baffle 9 begins to be squeezed and deformed, and then as the pushing spring 10 recovers its deformation, the extension plate 7 begins to be pushed, thereby assisting in pushing the walking support leg 2 to prevent the inspection body 1 from continuing to tilt, thereby preventing the inspection body 1 from being easily pushed down.
