[0024] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the amphibious inspection robot in the utility model is similar to the existing amphibious inspection robot, such as the amphibious inspection robot disclosed in the patent with announcement number CN218802247U. The main improvement of the utility model is that it can make the inspection robot more smoothly on the water surface. Figures 1 to 6 As shown, when the amphibious inspection robot of the utility model is in use, when the inspection robot body 1 is sailing on the water surface, the floating board 2 floats on the water surface, and at this time, a belt roller 4 at the end is driven to rotate by the driving mechanism, thereby driving the diversion belt 3 to rotate and move on multiple belt rollers 4, and then cooperate with the diversion belt 3 on the inclined surface on the other side of the floating board 2 to divert the floating objects on the water surface at the front end of the inspection robot body 1 to the two sides of the floating board 2 to prevent the floating objects from being entangled with the robot body 1, and then cooperate with the diversion mechanism on both sides of the other end of the floating board 2, the robot body 1 can divert the floating objects to both sides whether it is moving forward or backward, thereby improving the stability of the robot body 1 sailing on the water surface, wherein the two diversion belts 3 at the same end rotate in opposite directions and rotate from the middle to both sides.

[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, a connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected between the two support plates 5, and the connecting rod 7 is located in the middle of the two support plates 5. The upper and lower support plates 5 are fixed by the connecting rod 7, so that the two support plates 5 can be prevented from falling off from the diverter belt 3 and the multiple belt rollers 4.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the installation mechanism includes a connecting plate 8 and an L-shaped installation plate 9, one side of the connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the support plate 5 close to the floating board 2, and the other side of the connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped installation plate 9, and the side of the L-shaped installation plate 9 away from the connecting plate 8 extends inward and is connected to the floating board 2. When installing the diverter mechanism, the connecting plate 8 and the L-shaped installation plate 9 connected to the upper and lower support plates 5 are inserted into the upper and lower sides of the floating board 2, so that the installed diverter belt 3 has a similar width on the upper and lower sides of the floating board 2. When the floating board 2 floats on the water surface, the lower half of the diverter belt 3 is located below the water surface, thereby achieving a better diverting effect on floating objects on the water surface.

[0027] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the L-shaped mounting plates 9 symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the floating board 2 are fixedly connected by multiple bolts and nuts. The upper and lower L-shaped mounting plates 9 are fixedly mounted and fixed to the floating board 2 by multiple bolts and nuts, so that the connection with the floating board 2 is more stable and not easy to loosen.

[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a driving motor 10 and a driving gear 11. The driving motor 10 is fixedly connected to the top support plate 5. The output end of the driving motor 10 passes through the top support plate 5 and is fixedly connected to the driving gear 11. The outer wall of the belt roller 4 at one end close to the top support plate 5 is provided with a plurality of tooth grooves 401. The plurality of tooth grooves 401 are distributed in an annular manner along the outer wall of the belt roller 4 at equal intervals, and the driving gear 11 is meshed with the tooth grooves 401. When the diverter belt 3 is driven to rotate by the driving mechanism, the driving motor 10 is started to drive the driving gear 11 between the upper and lower support plates 5 to rotate. The driving gear 11 is meshed with the tooth grooves 401 on the end belt roller 4, thereby driving the end belt roller 4 to rotate, and then driving the diverter belt 3 to rotate.

[0029] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, a waterproof housing 12 is connected to the outside of the driving motor 10, and the waterproof housing 12 is sleeved with the driving motor 10 and fixedly connected to the adjacent support plate 5. Since the inspection robot body 1 needs to sail on the water surface, the driving motor 10 is covered by the waterproof housing 12 to prevent water from splashing into the driving motor 10 during navigation, causing damage to the driving motor 10. It should be noted that the driving motor 10 is connected and controlled with the control system inside the robot body 1 through the wires passing through the waterproof housing 12, and the position where the wires pass through the waterproof housing 12 is sealed.

[0030] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
