DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following embodiments are implemented based on the above technical solution of the utility model, and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0027] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0028] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figure 1 The inspection robot shown in the figure comprises a base 1, a detection device, a power supply and a photovoltaic panel arranged on the base 1, a moving wheel 2 arranged at the bottom of the base 1, a wheel axle 3 arranged on the moving wheel 2, a bearing seat 4 sleeved on the wheel axle 3, and a shock absorbing mechanism arranged between the bearing seat 4 and the base 1;

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the shock absorbing mechanism includes a positive energy storage reset member 5 arranged between the bearing seat 4 and the base 1, a first rack 6 erected on the bearing seat 4, a steering gear 7 arranged at the bottom of the base 1, and a second rack 9 connected to the bottom of the base 1 through a reverse energy storage reset member 8; the first rack 6 and the second rack 9 are respectively meshed with the two sides of the steering gear 7;

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the forward energy storage reset element 5 and the reverse energy storage reset element 8 both include a support shell 11 with an air storage chamber 10 inside, a piston 12 movably arranged in the air storage chamber 10 and sealingly separating the internal space of the air storage chamber 10, and a support rod 13 with one end connected to the piston 12 and the other end extending out of the air storage chamber 10; the extended end of the support rod 13 and the support shell 11 serve as active ends respectively.

[0033] When the inspection robot passes through a bumpy road section and the wheels vibrate up and down, the vibration energy can be consumed by the positive energy storage reset member 5 and the reverse energy storage reset member 8 in the shock absorbing mechanism, and the vibration force is prevented from being transmitted to the detection equipment on the base 1, thereby achieving a shock absorbing effect. Specifically, when the moving wheel 2 is lifted upward due to the road environment, the bearing seat 4 on the right side of the figure lifts the positive energy storage reset member 5 upward, and the upper chamber therein is compressed to increase the pressure, and the lower chamber is expanded to reduce the pressure, thereby generating a force to lift the base 1 upward, and at the same time, the bearing seat 4 on the left side of the figure lifts the first rack 6 upward, and after the steering gear 7 is reversed, the second rack 9 is pulled down, and the upper chamber of the reverse energy storage reset member 8 is expanded to reduce the pressure, and the lower chamber is compressed to increase the pressure, thereby generating a force to pull the base 1 downward. The force of the positive energy storage reset member 5 pushing up the base 1 and the force of the reverse energy storage reset member 8 pulling down the base 1 offset or partially offset each other, thereby reducing the force transmitted from the moving wheel 2 to the base 1 and achieving a shock-absorbing effect. When the moving wheel 2 moves downward due to the road environment, the force of the positive energy storage reset member 5 pushing up the base 1 and the force of the reverse energy storage reset member 8 pulling down the base 1 also offset or partially offset each other, achieving a shock-absorbing effect.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, on the positive energy storage reset member 5, the protruding end of the support rod 13 is connected to the bottom of the base 1, and the bottom of the support shell 11 is connected to the bearing seat 4; or, the protruding end of the support rod 13 is connected to the bearing seat 4, and the bottom of the support shell 11 is connected to the bottom of the base 1.

[0035] In some specific embodiments, the reverse energy storage reset member 8, the protruding end of the support rod 13 is connected to the bottom of the base 1, and the bottom of the support shell 11 is connected to the second rack 9; or, the protruding end of the support rod 13 is connected to the second rack 9, and the bottom of the support shell 11 is connected to the bottom of the base 1.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, the positive energy storage reset member 5 and the reverse energy storage reset member 8 are replaced by elastic telescopic members, specifically springs.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, the photovoltaic panel is arranged flat on the base 1. Alternatively, the photovoltaic panel is arranged obliquely on the base 1 through a photovoltaic panel support frame. The detection device can work by the electric energy collected by the photovoltaic panel.

[0038] In some specific embodiments, the detection equipment includes a camera, a robotic arm, a photovoltaic panel cleaning brush, etc.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the moving wheel 2 is a Mecanum wheel to improve the mobility of the inspection robot.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, a moving wheel protection frame 14 surrounding the moving wheel 2 is further provided on the base 1 to prevent the moving wheel or photovoltaic power station equipment from being damaged by collision.

[0041] Preferably, the moving wheel protection frame 14 is made of elastic materials such as rubber.

[0042] Preferably, the moving wheel protection frame 14 and the base 1 are integrally formed.

[0043] The above description of the embodiments is to facilitate the understanding and use of the utility model by those skilled in the art. It is obvious that those familiar with the art can easily make various modifications to these embodiments and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative work. Therefore, the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the utility model without departing from the scope of the utility model should be within the scope of protection of the utility model.
