[0029] The following describes an embodiment of the utility model based on its overall structure.

[0030] A patrol robot with a self-cleaning lens, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the device assembly 100 includes an electromagnetic slide rail 110, an electromagnetic slider 120 is slidably connected in the electromagnetic slide rail 110, and vertical plates 130 are fixedly connected on both sides of the electromagnetic slide rail 110, a cleaning assembly 200 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electromagnetic slider 120, and a disassembly assembly 300 is arranged in the cleaning assembly 200, and the cleaning assembly 200 includes a shell 210 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electromagnetic slider 120, a servo motor 220 is installed inside the shell 210, an output shaft 230 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 220, a fixed shaft 240 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the output shaft 230, and the output shaft 230 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 240, and the output shaft 230 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 240. 0 surface is fixedly connected with an extrusion rod 250, one side of the inner wall of the two sets of vertical plates 130 is fixedly connected with a piston cylinder 260, the inner wall of the piston cylinder 260 is slidably connected with a piston 270, one side of the piston 270 is provided with a piston rod 280 penetrating through one end of the piston cylinder 260, the surface of the piston rod 280 is sleeved with a piston spring 290, the end of the piston cylinder 260 away from the piston 270 is provided with a connecting pipe 2910, the end of the connecting pipe 2910 away from the piston cylinder 260 is provided with a telescopic pipe 2920, the end of the telescopic pipe 2920 away from the connecting pipe 2910 is fixed with a connecting block 2930, and a wiper 2940 is installed on one side of the connecting block 2930.

[0031] When the lens of the inspection robot 140 needs to be cleaned, the servo motor 220 is started to drive the output shaft 230 to rotate ninety degrees, and the output shaft 230 drives the extrusion rod 250 to rotate synchronously, and the electromagnetic slider 120 moves in the electromagnetic slide rail 110. When the electromagnetic slider 120 moves to one side, the extrusion rod 250 is squeezed to press the piston rod 280, so that the piston rod 280 drives the piston 270 to stretch the piston spring 290 and squeeze the gas inside the piston cylinder 260, so that the gas enters the telescopic tube 2920 through the connecting tube 2910 Under the action of air pressure, the telescopic tube 2920 extends from the inside of the connecting tube 2910 and drives the connecting block 2930 to move, so that the inspection robot 140 can wipe the dust on the surface of its lens through the wiping piece 2940 during the movement, which effectively improves the accuracy of the inspection robot 140 during monitoring and improves the applicability of the device. At the same time, there is no need for staff to perform regular cleaning. When cleaning is not required, the telescopic tube 2920 will drive the wiping piece 2940 to retract, preventing the inspection robot 140 from blocking the lens during detection.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A round shaft 231 is welded to the bottom end of the output shaft 230, and the round shaft 231 is arranged inside the fixed shaft 240 and rotatably connected thereto. Support frames 150 are welded on both sides of the fixed shaft 240. An inspection robot 140 installed at the bottom end of the fixed shaft 240 is provided between the two groups of support frames 150, and a limit rod 160 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support frame 150, and the top end of the limit rod 160 is fixedly connected to the shell 210.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 3 One end of the piston spring 290 is fixedly connected to the piston 270 , and the other end of the piston spring 290 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the piston cylinder 260 .

[0035] The reaction force of the piston spring 290 can effectively enable the piston spring 290 to drive the piston rod 280 to reset.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The disassembly assembly 300 includes two groups of plug blocks 310 that slide on the side of the connecting block 2930 away from the wiping member 2940. One side of the two groups of plug blocks 310 is slidably connected with a moving block 320. A connecting spring 330 is provided between the two groups of moving blocks 320. Two groups of clamping blocks 340 are welded on the side of the moving block 320 away from the plug block 310. A fixed block 350 is slidably connected between the two groups of clamping blocks 340. The fixed block 350 is fixedly connected to the wiping member 2940. The front and rear ends of the plug blocks 310 are fixedly connected to the limiting blocks 311. The limiting blocks 311 slide inside the connecting block 2930. A pressing plate 312 is provided on the side of the two groups of plug blocks 310 away from the moving block 320. A slot 321 that matches the plug block 310 is opened inside the moving block 320. The moving block 320 is slidably connected to the connecting block 2930, and a fixing groove 351 that matches the clamping block 340 is opened inside the fixed block 350.

[0037] After long-term use, when the wiping piece 2940 needs to be cleaned and replaced, the insert block 310 is inserted into the slot 321 through the pressing plate 312. When the insert block 310 moves, it drives the limit block 311 to move synchronously. At the same time, the moving block 320 moves to both sides and stretches the connecting spring 330, so that the moving block 320 drives the card block 340 to disengage from the fixed groove 351, releases the limit on the fixed block 350, and then the wiping piece 2940 can be taken out, which speeds up the disassembly of the staff and further enhances the efficiency of the staff.

[0038] During use, when it is necessary to clean the lens of the inspection robot 140, the servo motor 220 is started to drive the output shaft 230 to rotate ninety degrees, and the output shaft 230 drives the squeezing rod 250 to rotate synchronously, and the electromagnetic slider 120 moves in the electromagnetic slide rail 110. When the electromagnetic slider 120 moves to one side, the squeezing rod 250 is squeezed to press the piston rod 280, so that the piston rod 280 drives the piston 270 to stretch the piston spring 290 and squeeze the gas inside the piston cylinder 260, so that the gas enters the telescopic tube 2920 through the connecting tube 2910. Under the action of air pressure, the telescopic tube 2920 extends from the inside of the connecting tube 2910 and drives the connecting block 2930 to move, so that the inspection robot 140 wipes the dust on the surface of its lens through the wiping piece 2940 during the movement, which effectively improves the accuracy of the inspection robot 140 during monitoring. The accuracy of the device is improved, and the applicability of the device is improved. At the same time, there is no need for staff to perform regular cleaning. When cleaning is not needed, the telescopic tube 2920 will drive the wiping piece 2940 to retract, preventing the inspection robot 140 from blocking the lens during detection. After long-term use, when the wiping piece 2940 needs to be cleaned and replaced, the plug block 310 is inserted into the slot 321 through the pressing plate 312. When the plug block 310 moves, it drives the limit block 311 to move synchronously. At the same time, the moving block 320 moves to both sides and stretches the connecting spring 330, so that the moving block 320 drives the card block 340 to disengage from the fixed groove 351, releases the limit on the fixed block 350, and then takes out the wiping piece 2940, which improves the speed of disassembly by the staff and further enhances the efficiency of the staff. The parts not involved in the device are the same as the prior art or can be implemented by the prior art.
