Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: an image monitoring device for an inspection robot, comprising a guide rail 1, a robot body 2 and a block 3, the block 3 is arranged on the robot body 2, a camera 12 is arranged on the block 3, an isolation cover 7 is arranged on the block 3, the camera 12 is located in the isolation cover 7, a scraper 6 is arranged on the outer surface of the isolation cover 7 through the rotation of a driving component, a cleaning component is arranged on the scraper 6, a feeding component is symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the block 3, and the feeding component and the cleaning component are interconnected.

[0025] The inspection robot uses an image monitoring device, in which a camera 12 performs image monitoring of the mine tunnel, and controls a cleaning block 5 through a driving component to wipe the dust on the isolation cover 7. During this process, clean water penetrates into the cleaning block 5, thereby automatically cleaning the surface of the isolation cover 7 in coordination with the rotation of the cleaning block 5.

[0026] The robot body 2 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 1 , and the robot body 2 can be slidably disposed on the guide rail 1 of the mine tunnel. The power device works to control the robot body 2 to reciprocate through the guide rail 1 in the mine tunnel for inspection.

[0027] The driving assembly consists of a gear 11, a ring gear 13 and a shaft head 15. The two shaft heads 15 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the scraper 6, and the two shaft heads 15 are rotatably arranged on the block 3.
