[0002] With the development of technology, robots have begun to be widely used in power plant inspections. Power plant inspection robots can move on tracks to achieve real-time measurement of the objects being inspected, which is safer and more efficient than manual work. Existing power plant inspection robots are usually equipped with displacement sensors to measure the track gauge. The displacement sensor measures the distance moved on the track, and then measures the location distance where the inspection robot detects the problem in real time.
[0003] When the inspection robot moves on the track for inspection, the displacement sensor measures the moving distance. However, the inspection robot is prone to jitter when moving on the track, causing the displacement sensor to jitter synchronously with the inspection robot. The jitter will produce a certain movement error. The long distance will cause the distance measured by the displacement sensor to deviate, affecting the accuracy of the displacement measurement. In addition, the sensor measurement requires maintenance due to long-term jitter, and disassembly is too cumbersome. Utility Model Content

An arc groove 8 is provided at the bottom of the side fixing plate 3, and a displacement sensor 9 is arranged inside the arc groove 8. The displacement sensor 9 is model T501F, which is a linear device belonging to metal sensing. The function of the sensor is to convert various measured physical quantities into electrical quantities, which is electrically connected to the battery and controlled by the control switch. The two output shafts of the motor 2 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 10 through a coupling, and the outer surface of the rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the rubber wheel 11. A camera 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the right fixing plate 3, and the camera 16 is electrically connected to the battery and controlled by the control switch.
[0022] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the removal of the displacement sensor 9, a sliding sleeve rod 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the left fixed plate 3, one end of the sliding sleeve rod 12 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 13, a second spring 14 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding sleeve rod 12 and located between the fixed plate 3 and the mounting plate 13, and a limit plate 15 adapted to the displacement sensor 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 13.
