[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can understand the present invention more clearly.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrally formed structure. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of such terms in this patent can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a power inspection robot, including a transport unit 1, a base 2, a lifting unit 3, a camera 4, and a buffer unit.

[0030] The transport unit 1 is a robot dog, the base 2 is mounted on the back of the robot dog, and the lifting unit 3 is mounted on the top of the base 2. The lifting unit 3 is a prior art, for example, the lifting unit 3 can be a vertically arranged cylinder, and the telescopic end of the cylinder is the lifting end.

[0031] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the buffer unit includes a positioning plate 5, a buffer ball 6, and a connecting plate 7. The positioning plate 5 is installed on the lifting end of the lifting unit 3 through a bracket.

[0032] The buffer ball 6 is a soft structure. For example, the buffer ball 6 is a rubber ball. When the rubber ball is squeezed, it can be compressed and deformed, thereby playing a buffering role. Figure 5 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the buffer ball 6 are respectively connected to an upper limit plate 8 and a lower limit plate 9, and the upper limit plate 8 and the lower limit plate 9 are both circular plate structures. The connecting plate 7 is provided with a first through hole adapted to the upper limit plate 8, and the positioning plate 5 is provided with a second through hole adapted to the lower limit plate 9. The buffer ball 6 is arranged between the connecting plate 7 and the positioning plate 5, and the upper limit plate 8 is embedded in the first through hole, and the lower limit plate 9 is embedded in the second through hole, so that the connecting plate 7 can be supported above the positioning plate 5 by the buffer ball 6, and the camera 4 is installed on the connecting plate 7.

[0033] Based on the above structure, the mechanical dog will shake up and down during the inspection process, and drive the camera 4 to shake up and down. Since the camera 4 is installed on the connecting plate 7, and the connecting plate 7 is supported above the positioning plate 5 by the buffer ball 6, when the positioning plate 5 shakes up and down, due to the effect of inertia, the buffer ball 6 will be squeezed by the positioning plate 5 and the connecting plate 7 and deformed, and then it can play a buffering role, so that the up and down shaking strength of the connecting plate 7 is weakened, and then the shaking strength of the camera 4 can be reduced, the stability of the image is increased, and the shooting picture is ensured to be smoother and more stable.

[0034] In this embodiment, the buffer ball 6 may be filled with a buffer solution, and the buffer solution may further reduce the shaking intensity of the camera 4 .

[0035] A funnel-shaped guide structure is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lower limit plate 9. The guide structure is conducive to the rapid installation of the buffer ball 6.

[0036] The bottom end of the guide structure is fixedly connected to a limiting column 10. The limiting column 10 can prevent the buffer ball 6 from being separated from the positioning plate 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, the buffer unit may include two positioning plates 5 and two connecting plates 7. Figure 2-4 As shown, the connecting plate 7 and the positioning plate 5 are both strip-shaped plates, the connecting plate 7 is provided with four first through holes evenly spaced along the length direction, and the positioning plate 5 is provided with four second through holes evenly spaced along the length direction.

[0038] The two connecting plates 7 correspond to the two positioning plates 5 respectively, and the connecting plates 7 are located above the corresponding positioning plates 5. Four buffer balls 6 are clamped between the connecting plates 7 and the corresponding positioning plates 5, that is, the connecting plates 7 are supported above the corresponding positioning plates 5 by the four buffer balls 6.

[0039] The connecting plate 7 is a Z-shaped structure, the camera 4 is located between the two connecting plates 7, and the camera 4 is simultaneously connected to the two connecting plates 7. That is, the camera 4 is supported on the two positioning plates 5 by the eight buffer balls 6. This allows the camera 4 to maintain high stability when it is not rigidly connected to the positioning plates 5.

[0040] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 7 can be an annular structure, and the positioning plate 5 is also an annular structure. The connecting plate 7 is provided with a plurality of the first through holes evenly spaced along the annular direction. Correspondingly, the positioning plate 5 is provided with a plurality of the second through holes evenly spaced along the annular direction. A plurality of the buffer balls 6 are clamped between the connecting plate 7 and the positioning plate 5. The plurality of the buffer balls 6 are arranged in an annular shape, so that the camera 4 has better stability.

[0041] Please refer again Figure 1 In this embodiment, an antenna 11 is installed on the top of the base 2. The antenna 11 can be used to transmit or receive signals.

[0042] A laser radar 12 is installed on the top of the base 2. The laser radar 12 can detect the surrounding environment in real time.

[0043] A laser radar protection member 13 is installed on the top of the base 2. The laser radar protection member 13 surrounds the laser radar 12 in the middle, and the laser radar protection member 13 can play a protective role.

[0044] A camera 14 is installed on the front side wall of the base 2. The camera 14 can be used to shoot surrounding images.

[0045] The mechanisms, components and parts not specifically described in the present invention are all existing structures in the prior art and can be directly purchased from the market.
