The track is erected on the building main body, and the robot walks along the track driven by a motor. Moreover, the robot realizes lifting with the assistance of a telescopic rod track / accessories. A camera assembly is provided on the robot. Combining with the movement of the robot, it can photograph instrument panels at different positions of the power distribution cabinet / server. However, instrument panels with height differences cannot all be photographed. At the same time, the problems of the existing inspection robots adopting the track method are that the erection cost of the track is relatively high and the requirements for the line layout of the track are relatively high, and it can only be used in places with flat roads and simple terrains. In addition, when the existing robot is in motion, when encountering excessive vibration, it is easy to cause the loosening or even damage of components. Content of the Utility Model

[0023] The present utility model provides a shock-absorbing route-constrained inspection robot.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, the shock-absorbing route-constrained inspection robot provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes a track 10, a control unit 20 slidable along the track 10, a shooting module 30, and a lifting assembly 40 connected between the control unit 20 and the shooting module 30. The lifting assembly 40 includes a first lifting group and a second lifting group. A transmission structure is connected between the first lifting group and the second lifting group. The first lifting group is connected to the control unit 20. The shooting module 30 is disposed at the end of the second lifting group. The shooting module 30 includes a mounting bracket 31, a mounting ball 32 connected to the mounting bracket 31, and a camera unit disposed on the mounting ball 32. A second power group 60 is disposed on the mounting bracket 31 and drives vertically. A shock-absorbing structure 70 is disposed between the mounting bracket 31 and the mounting ball 32.

[0025] In this embodiment, it can walk through the track 10, and at the same time, the up-and-down movement of the lifting assembly 40 realizes that the shooting module 30 can automatically shoot and capture the instruments at different positions and heights of the power distribution cabinet, improving convenience. Moreover, a shock-absorbing structure 70 is disposed between the mounting bracket 31 and the mounting ball 32 to improve the shock-absorbing effect of the shooting module 30 and enhance the stability of the components.

[0026] Specifically, the first lifting group includes a first connecting rod 41. The first end of the first connecting rod 41 is connected to a driving unit disposed on the control unit 20. The second end of the first connecting rod 41 is connected to the transmission structure. The transmission structure includes a first gear 43 and a second gear 44 meshing with the first gear 43. The first gear 43 is connected to the first connecting rod 41. The second gear 44 is connected to the second lifting group. The second lifting group includes a second connecting rod 42. The first end of the second connecting rod 42 is connected to the second gear 44. In this embodiment, the driving unit drives the first connecting rod 41 to rotate around the first hinge axis. At this time, the power is transmitted to the second connecting rod 42 through the first gear 43 and the second gear 44, causing the second connecting rod 42 to rotate around the second hinge axis, thereby changing the angle formed between the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42, and further adjusting the height of the shooting module 30 at the end of the second adjusting rod.

[0027] In this application, both the first lifting group and the second lifting group adopt a parallelogram structure. The first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 both have the characteristics of a parallelogram structure. The two parallelogram structures are combined together, sharing one hinge point. At the hinge point, a gear set (the first gear 43 and the second gear 44) is used to ensure that the angles between the first link 41 and the second link 42 and the horizontal plane are equal, so as to ensure that the shooting module moves vertically up and down with respect to the ground.

[0028] Among them, a first power group 50 is arranged on the control unit 20, and a second power group 60 is arranged on the shooting module 30. The driving directions of the first power group 50 and the second power group 60 are perpendicular. In this embodiment, the function of the first power group 50 is to drive the inspection robot to slide along the track 10, and the function of the second power group 60 is to provide power for the shooting module 30 to move in the height direction.

[0029] Among them, the shooting module 30 includes a mounting bracket 31, a mounting ball 32 connected to the mounting bracket 31, and a camera unit arranged on the mounting ball 32. The second power group 60 is arranged on the mounting bracket 31 and drives vertically. It can be understood that this application does not improve the specific principles of the shooting module 30, communication module, etc. Therefore, existing devices such as the shooting module 30 and communication module can be directly adopted, and will not be elaborated here.

[0030] In addition, the control unit 20 includes a power battery connected to the driving unit to provide power for the inspection robot. It can be understood that the power battery is detachable to improve practicality.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 , the shock absorption structure 70 can be a shock absorption airbag or a shock absorption spring. The main purpose of the shock absorption structure 70 is to be connected between the mounting bracket 31 and the mounting ball 32 to prevent the shooting module 30 from colliding between components due to inertia or other reasons during the up and down movement, resulting in detachment or damage. Among them, multiple shock absorption airbags or shock absorption springs can be arranged at intervals between the mounting bracket 31 and the mounting ball 32 to provide uniform shock absorption ability.

[0032] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
