[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application; obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0018] The station inspection robot provided in this specific embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a main component and an improved component, wherein:

[0019] The main structure includes a robot body 1 and a connecting plate 2 located thereon, and an integrated module 3 with an integrated battery and a controller is arranged above the connecting plate 2. A camera 4 is connected to the top of the integrated module 3, and the battery mentioned above is only used to power the camera 4. In this way, the integrated module 3 and the camera 4 are integrated and independent of the robot body 1.

[0020] The improved component includes a transverse slide groove 5 opened at the top of the connecting plate 2, and the top of the connecting plate 2 is symmetrically engaged and slidably connected with two clamping plates 6 symmetrical about the integrated module 3 through the slide groove 5; in addition, the connecting plate 2 is also provided with a driving mechanism 7 for driving the two clamping plates 6 to slide in opposite directions along the slide groove 5 at the same time, such as Figure 3 As shown, the driving mechanism 7 includes a bearing seat 701 installed in the middle of the slide groove 5, and the bearing seat 701 is connected with a bidirectional screw rod 702 located in the slide groove 5; in addition, the bottom end of the clamping plate 6 is also connected to a slider 703 located in the slide groove 5 and threadedly penetrated by the bidirectional screw rod 702; in addition, the top of the connecting plate 2 is also provided with a mounting groove 704, one end of the slide groove 5 is communicated with the mounting groove 704, and a rotating mechanism for driving the bidirectional screw rod 702 to rotate is arranged in the mounting groove 704, and the rotating mechanism includes a servo motor 8 installed in the mounting groove 704, and a coupling 9 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 8, and the end of the coupling 9 is connected to the bidirectional screw rod 702 through a shaft rod. In this way, under the drive of the servo motor 8 and the coupling 9, the bidirectional screw rod 702 can be rotated, so that the two sliders 703 that are restricted from rotating drive the two clamping plates 6 to approach or move away from each other, so that the fixing and separation of the integrated structure can be achieved.

[0021] In order to protect the driving mechanism 7 and for the sake of structural beauty, an upper cover 10 covering the mounting groove 704 is arranged at the top of the connecting plate 2, and a locking mechanism 11 is arranged between the upper cover 10 and the groove top of the mounting groove 704 for locking.
