During the use of the infrared sensing device for an inspection robot, the infrared thermal imaging probe 4 detects the working temperature of the mine belt conveyor equipment. When the laser ranging sensor 5 detects that the distance between the infrared thermal imaging probe 4 and the belt conveyor equipment becomes farther, the pillar 11 can be controlled to protrude from the block 2 to drive the infrared thermal imaging probe 4 close to the mine belt conveyor equipment. When the laser ranging sensor 5 detects that the distance between the infrared thermal imaging probe 4 and the belt conveyor equipment becomes closer, the pillar 11 is controlled to retract into the block 2 to drive the infrared thermal imaging probe 4 away from the mine belt conveyor equipment.

[0025] A slide 14 is provided on the upper surface of the robot body 1, and the slide 14 is slidably arranged on a guide rail 15.

The rack 7 is slidably arranged on the slide 9, and the rack 7 is fixed on the pillar 11. The rack 7 is in a gear meshing state with the gear 6.

[0028] Working principle: When it is necessary to use the infrared sensing device for the inspection robot, the robot body 1 can be slid onto the guide rail 15 of the mine tunnel, and the infrared thermal imaging probe 4 detects the working temperature of the mine tunnel belt conveyor. Through the design of the laser distance sensor 5, when the laser distance sensor 5 detects that the distance between the infrared thermal imaging probe 4 and the belt conveyor becomes farther, under the control of the built-in controller of the robot body 1, through the design of the driving component, the support 11 can be controlled to protrude from the block 2 to drive the infrared thermal imaging probe 4 close to the mine tunnel belt conveyor.
