[0030] As an optional embodiment, the damping structure 2 includes a friction ring 2 13 fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating arm 2. The other end of the rotating shaft 6 passes through the rotating arm 2 and is fixedly connected to a resistance rod 14 that abuts against the surface of the friction ring 2 13. When the mounting block 7 rotates, the coaxial resistance rod 14 is driven to rotate. At the same time, since the resistance rod 14 abuts against the surface of the friction ring 2 13, the mounting block 7 can be rotated slowly, and the vibration can be buffered and unloaded.

When the inspection trolley moves, the scanner 9 is always kept in a vertical state under the action of the gravity guide structure. As the transmission component 3 drives the rotating arm 2 to rotate, the scanner 9 can be adjusted in height. At the same time, the vibration generated by the movement is initially buffered and unloaded by the damping structure 1 and the damping structure 2. After being transmitted to the mounting block 7, the vibration is secondarily buffered and unloaded by the shock-absorbing buffer 4, so that the scanning process of the scanner 9 is more stable.
