The limit assembly 9 includes: a connecting column 90, a cavity 91, a gear one 92, a gear two 93, a through hole 94, a fixing rod 95, a spiral spring 96, a resisting rod 97, a circular plate 98, a clamping rod 99, and a knob 900.

[0022] The connecting column 90 is fixed to the side of the mounting base plate 6 away from the ultrasonic probe 7. A cavity 91 is provided inside the connecting column 90. A gear 1 92 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 91. A gear 2 93 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 91. The gear 1 92 meshes with the gear 2 93. A through hole 94 is provided on the surface of the gear 2 93. A fixing rod 95 is fixed to the inner wall of the cavity 91. A volute spring 96 is fixed to the surface of the fixing rod 95. One end of the volute spring 96 away from the fixing rod 95 is fixed to the inner wall of the through hole 94. A resisting rod 97 is fixed to the surface of the gear 2 93. A clamping rod 99 is provided inside the cavity 91. The clamping rod 99 penetrates The connecting column 90 is connected with the clamping rod 99 in a sliding manner. A circular plate 98 is fixed to one end of the clamping rod 99 close to the gear 1 92. The surface of the abutment rod 97 passes through the circular plate 98, and the abutment rod 97 and the bottom of the inner wall of the circular plate 98. The surface of the mounting base plate 6 is rotatably connected with a knob 900. The output shaft of the knob 900 passes through the mounting base plate 6 and the connecting column 90, and the output shaft of the knob 900 is fixedly connected to the surface of the gear 1 92. The connecting column 90 enters the mounting groove 4, and the clamping rod 99 enters the limiting groove 5. The inner wall of the limiting groove 5 contacts the side of the clamping rod 99 away from the inclined surface, thereby stabilizing the mounting base plate 6 and the mobile robot body 1.

[0023] Gear 2 93, fixed rod 95, scroll spring 96, resistance rod 97, return plate 98, and clamping rod 99 are all provided with four groups, and the four groups of gear 2 93, fixed rod 95, scroll spring 96, resistance rod 97, return plate 98, and clamping rod 99 are all arranged in a circular array with the center of the circle of gear 1 92 as the axis center, so that when gear 1 92 rotates, gear 2 93, fixed rod 95, scroll spring 96, resistance rod 97, return plate 98, and clamping rod 99 can be synchronously driven to move.

[0024] The side of the clamping rod 99 away from the mounting base plate 6 is set to be inclined, and when it is resisted, the clamping rod 99 can be moved. The surface of the mounting base plate 6 is provided with a mounting hole 28, and the surface of the mobile robot body 1 is provided with a mounting hole 3, which is convenient for screw fixing.

At this time, the inner wall of the circular plate 98 contacts the surface of the contact rod 97, thereby driving the gear 2 93 to rotate. At this time, the volute spring 96 is wound up, and at the same time drives the gear 1 92 to rotate, so that the four groups of clamping rods 99 can move synchronously. When the clamping rod 99 is parallel to the position of the limiting groove 5, the volute spring 96 is released, the gear 2 93 reverses, and the contact rod 97 drives the circular plate 98 and the clamping rod 99 to reset. At this time, the clamping rod 99 enters the limiting groove 5, and the inner wall of the limiting groove 5 contacts the side of the clamping rod 99 away from the inclined surface, thereby stabilizing the installation base plate 6 and the mobile robot body 1. The mounting hole 1 3 is aligned with the mounting hole 2 8, and can be fixed with screws at this time, and there will be no accidental touch, which will cause the mounting hole 1 3 and the mounting hole 2 8 to deviate and affect the installation efficiency. During use, if the ultrasonic probe 7 fails and the mobile robot body 1 collides, the protective frame 10 touches the outside, and the damper 11 and the spring 12 are used for buffering, so that the mobile robot body 1 can be prevented from colliding and causing damage. When the ultrasonic probe 7 needs to be inspected and maintained, the screws are removed, and the reverse knob 900 drives the gear 1 92 and the gear 2 93 to rotate, and the circular plate 98 is driven to move through the resistance rod 97, so that the pull rod 99 is disengaged from the limit slot 5. At this time, the mounting base plate 6 and the mobile robot body 1 can be separated for inspection and maintenance.

[0026] The above generally describes the present invention in detail, but it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
