It is usually equipped with high-definition cameras, infrared thermometers, obstacle avoidance sensors and other equipment. It can conduct inspections in various environments and record inspection data in real time. It has the ability to walk in all directions and climb slopes and steps, and can adapt to various complex terrains.

[0003] The high-definition camera of the inspection robot dog can capture images of the inspection area in real time and record the entire inspection process through image recognition. These image data can be transmitted back to the power supply platform or backend system to facilitate data analysis and processing by operation and maintenance personnel. In addition, some advanced inspection robot dogs also have night vision functions and can conduct inspections at night or in dimly lit environments. Some inspection tasks may involve high-risk environments, such as radiation areas, toxic chemical leakage areas, high temperature and high pressure areas, etc. In these environments, manual inspections may face serious safety risks. Inspection robot dogs can replace humans to enter these dangerous areas and reduce personnel risks.

[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a patrol robot with an adjustable camera includes a robot dog and a camera 1 installed on the top of the robot dog, a fixed round shell 2 is provided at one end of the camera 1, an adjusting disk 3 is provided in the fixed round shell 2, a driving motor 6 is installed on the top of the camera 1, a rotating rod 601 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 6, the rotating rod 601 passes through one end of the fixed round shell 2, and is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed round shell 2, the outer side of the rotating rod 601 is fixedly connected to the adjusting disk 3, and a camera port 202 is embedded and installed at the alignment position between the fixed round shell 2 and the lens end of the camera 1.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the inspection robot with adjustable camera in the utility model is similar in structure to the existing four-legged robot dog inspection system, such as the four-legged robot dog inspection system disclosed in the patent announcement number CN218564891U. The main improvement of the utility model is to avoid direct exposure of the camera to high-intensity sunlight, thereby protecting the camera from overheating and extending the service life of the camera. Figures 1 to 4As shown, when a patrol robot with an adjustable camera in the utility model is in use, the adjustment disk 3 arranged inside the fixed circular shell 2 is driven by the driving motor 6 and the rotating rod 601, so that the lens in front of the camera 1 can be aligned with the replacement lens 5 embedded in the adjustment disk 3. This design enables the camera 1 to replace the next replacement lens 5 manually or with the self-carrying system when one of the replacement lenses 5 is contaminated or covered, and continue the patrol operation. The camera port 202 is opened at the alignment position between the fixed circular shell 2 and the lens end of the camera 1, so as to keep the lens able to capture light from the outside through the camera port 202.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, a socket 201 is provided at one end of the fixed round shell 2, the lens end of the camera 1 is inserted into the socket 201, and one end of the fixed round shell 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the camera 1 body.

[0026] Specifically, by inserting the lens end of the camera 1 into the socket 201, the installation process is made easier. At the same time, this connection method ensures the stability between the camera 1 and the fixed circular shell 2, and reduces the risk of loosening or displacement due to vibration or impact during the inspection process. The fixed circular shell 2 provides a certain degree of protection for the lens end of the camera 1 through its structure, which helps prevent the camera 1 from being directly hit or damaged by external objects during the inspection process.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, one end of the rotating rod 601 is rotatably connected to the center position of the bottom of the fixed circular shell 2, and the rotating rod 601 passes through the center position of the adjusting disk 3 and is fixedly connected to the adjusting disk 3.

[0028] Specifically, through this arrangement, the rotating rod 601 is rotatably connected to the bottom center position of the fixed circular shell 2 and is fixedly connected to the adjusting disk 3. When the driving motor 6 drives the rotating rod 601 to rotate, the adjusting disk 3 can accurately rotate in a predetermined direction, ensuring that the camera 1 can accurately rotate to the position of the replacement lens 5, and the adjusting disk 3 can rotate in the fixed circular shell 2 without contacting the inner wall of the fixed circular shell 2.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a replacement lens 5 aligned with the lens end position of the camera 1 is embedded and installed on the surface of the adjustment disk 3 , and a sun visor 4 aligned with the lens end position of the camera 1 is embedded and installed on the surface of the adjustment disk 3 .

[0030] Specifically, by rotating the adjustment dial 3 in this setting, different replacement lenses 5 can be replaced to prevent the front of the lens from being blocked and unable to continue the inspection operation. The sun visor 4 is used to block direct sunlight to prevent the lens of the camera 1 from being damaged or affecting the shooting effect due to excessive light.

[0031] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the sun visor 4 and the replacement lens 5 are arranged at equal intervals on the surface of the adjustment disk 3, and the diameters of the sun visor 4, the replacement lens 5 and the camera port 202 are all equal to the diameter of the lens end of the camera 1.

[0032] Specifically, this setting and arrangement ensure that when the adjustment disk 3 is rotated, the lens end of the camera 1 can be aligned with these components in turn without misalignment or interference. The diameter matching design ensures that the lens end of the camera 1 can be fully aligned with these components, thereby avoiding problems such as light leakage or image distortion.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, a signal sensor 7 is installed at one end of the driving motor 6.

[0034] Specifically, by configuring the signal sensor 7 in this way, the operating state of the drive motor 6 can be monitored in real time, such as the rotation speed, direction, etc. This real-time feedback enables the control system to accurately control the action of the drive motor 6, thereby ensuring that the adjustment disk 3 can rotate in a predetermined direction, thereby achieving accurate adjustment of the adjustment disk 3.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
