[0018] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] See also Figure 1-4: A dark tunnel scanning robot with auxiliary lighting includes a track 1 and a scanner 2, wherein walking mechanisms 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the scanner 2, and the walking mechanisms 3 correspond to the track 1. A rotating lighting mechanism 4 that can patrol left and right is installed on the top of the scanner 2.

[0022] The scanner of this embodiment performs path detection and walking through a walking mechanism and a track. When walking, the conditions on both sides of the tunnel space are illuminated by a rotating lighting mechanism that can patrol left and right, thereby increasing the lighting range of the scanning robot when performing dark tunnel detection.

[0023] In a specific example, the rotating lighting mechanism 4 includes an L-shaped connecting rod 41, the top of the scanner 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the L-shaped connecting rod 41, the other end of the L-shaped connecting rod 41 is fixedly connected to a stepper motor 42, the output shaft of the stepper motor 42 is fixedly connected to an LED lamp 43, the front of the LED lamp 43 is fixedly connected to a front light guide cover 44, and the front of the front light guide cover 44 is fixedly connected to a front transparent cover 45.

[0024] When the stepper motor is turned on, the output shaft of the stepper motor drives the LED lamp to rotate to a suitable angle. The light of the LED lamp illuminates the position that needs to be illuminated in a straight line through the front light guide cover and the front transparent cover, thereby illuminating at various angles.

[0025] In a specific example, the scanner 2 further includes a cleaning mechanism 5 fixed to the top of the scanner 2 , and the cleaning mechanism 5 is provided with a cleaning block 55 for cleaning the front transparent cover 45 .

[0026] It should be noted that when the stepper motor rotates one circle, the output shaft of the stepper motor drives the front light guide cover and the front transparent cover to rotate, so that the front transparent cover passes through the surface of the cleaning block, so that the surface of the front transparent cover is cleaned.

[0027] In a specific example, the cleaning block 55 is an elastic cleaning sponge.

[0028] In this embodiment, the flexible cleaning of the elastic cleaning sponge can prevent damage to the front transparent cover and achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0029] In a specific example, the cleaning mechanism 5 also includes a sliding column 54 fixedly connected to the top of the scanner 2, and a top slide 53 is connected through the top of the sliding column 54, and the sliding column 54 and the top slide 53 are vertically slidably connected; a cleaning block 55 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top slide 53, and a first spring 52 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding column 54, the upper part of the first spring 52 is connected to the top slide 53, and the lower part is connected to the top of the scanner 2, and a triangular prism 56 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top slide 53, and a half gear ring 51 corresponding to the triangular prism 56 is provided on the top of the front light guide cover 44.

[0030] It should be noted that when the stepper motor drives the rotating lighting mechanism to rotate, when the half gear ring just contacts the triangular prism, the triangular prism drives the top slide plate to move back and forth up and down under the action of the first spring, and the sliding column plays a role of stabilizing the up and down sliding, so that the top slide plate drives the cleaning block to move back and forth up and down to enhance the cleaning of the surface of the front transparent cover.

[0031] Working principle: Turn on the stepper motor, and the output shaft of the stepper motor drives the LED lamp to rotate to the appropriate angle. The light of the LED lamp passes through the front light guide cover and the front transparent cover to illuminate the position that needs to be illuminated in a straight line, thereby illuminating at all angles.

[0032] When there is dirt on the surface of the front transparent cover, the stepper motor is turned on and rotated one circle, and the output shaft of the stepper motor drives the front light guide cover and the front transparent cover to rotate, so that the front transparent cover passes through the surface of the cleaning block, and the surface of the front transparent cover is cleaned; because the half gear ring is in conflict with the triangular prism, the triangular prism drives the top slide plate to move back and forth up and down under the action of the first spring, and the sliding column plays a role of stabilizing the up and down sliding, so that the top slide plate drives the cleaning block to move back and forth up and down to enhance the cleaning of the surface of the front transparent cover.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
