[0002] Substation inspection robots mainly serve various substations, and substations are mainly concentrated in large substations above 500kV. The robots are mainly used to inspect substation equipment, which is divided into visible light inspection and infrared inspection. Visible light inspection mainly inspects the appearance of equipment, equipment separation and combination status, and instrument readings. With the continuous advancement and development of infrared thermal imaging technology, it has been widely used in industry. Infrared thermal imagers are also used in the intelligent inspection system of substations, which can replace inspection personnel to achieve 24-hour inspection, diagnose substation equipment and instruments, determine whether there will be danger, and issue alarms. Since power plants need to conduct 24-hour inspections during daily work, the use of inspection robots can effectively reduce the number of inspections by inspection personnel and has been widely used.

[0003] However, the current inspection robots have some shortcomings. After the inspection robot finishes its inspection, the camera installed on its pan-tilt head has no protective mechanism. In this way, during the placement of the inspection robot, the camera will be damaged due to the lack of a protective mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, the brush contacts the arc-shaped shielding plate, the limiting sliding block is embedded in the limiting sliding groove, and the arc-shaped shielding plate is movably connected to the arc-shaped guide frame via the limiting sliding block.

[0011] Preferably, the gear is meshed with the arc-shaped tooth groove of the arc-shaped shielding plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In the utility model, an arc-shaped guide frame, an arc-shaped shielding plate and a brush sweeping member are arranged in a manner that cooperates with each other. When the inspection robot finishes the inspection, the front end of the camera flips downward. When the camera flips to a certain angle, the camera will contact the block of the arc-shaped shielding plate. At this time, as the camera continues to flip, the arc-shaped shielding plate will be driven by the camera to flip until the arc-shaped shielding plate is flipped to directly above the camera. During the flipping of the arc-shaped shielding plate, the brush sweeping member rotates under the cooperation of the gear and the arc-shaped tooth groove, and the rotating brush sweeping member can use the brush to brush the arc-shaped shielding plate. When the camera is used again, as the camera flips in the opposite direction, the arc-shaped shielding plate will flip back to its original position under the action of the counterweight block, thereby preparing for the next shielding use.
