The crawler inspection robot has a novel structural design, convenient steering, expanded inspection viewing angle, prolonged battery life, and improved inspection efficiency.

[0004] Although the crawler inspection robot in the above patent is easy to turn, has a wider inspection angle, longer battery life, and improved inspection efficiency, the crawler inspection robot still has certain defects. Since crawler inspection robots are often used in a variety of complex, rugged or uneven scenes, when the crawler robot is moving, sand, soil and other debris may enter between the crawler and the gear, and larger gravel or debris may get stuck between the crawler chain links, causing the crawler to run poorly. Therefore, protective covers or guard plates are often installed on the outside of the crawler to physically block sand and gravel from entering the crawler. However, this makes it difficult for workers to observe the situation inside the crawler during maintenance, which is inconvenient for maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a crawler type inspection robot to solve the problems raised by the background technology and make it more convenient for the crawler robot body to inspect and repair the filter bag part.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: A crawler-type inspection robot, including a crawler robot main body, motors are fixedly connected to both ends of both sides of the crawler robot main body, the output ends of the motors are fixedly connected with side guard plates, the side guard plates on the same side of the crawler robot main body are staggeredly distributed, and the end of the side guard plate far from the motor is connected with a support assembly.

[0007] Further, the support assembly includes a support block, an insertion block and a connection bolt. A jack matching the insertion block is opened at the end of the top of the side guard plate far from the motor. The insertion block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support block. The connection bolt penetrates through the top of the side guard plate and extends into the interior of the insertion block, and the connection bolt is threadedly connected with the insertion block.

[0012] Further, rounded corners are opened at the four corners of the side guard plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] For this crawler-type inspection robot, since the side guard plate is connected to the motor, when it is necessary to repair the crawler part of the crawler robot main body, only need to start the motor, and the side guard plate can be rotated away by the motor to expose the crawler part of the crawler robot main body, which is convenient for repairing the crawler part of the crawler robot main body.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0021] See also Figures 1-4 A crawler inspection robot includes a crawler robot body 1, both ends of the crawler robot body 1 are fixedly connected to motors 2, the output end of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to a side guard plate 3, the side guard plates 3 on the same side of the crawler robot body 1 are staggered, and the end of the side guard plate 3 away from the motor 2 is connected to a support assembly.

[0022] In the crawler inspection robot of the utility model, since the side guard plates 3 are connected to the motor 2, when it is necessary to inspect and repair the crawler part of the crawler robot body 1, it is only necessary to start the motor 2 and turn the side guard plates 3 open through the motor 2 to expose the crawler part of the crawler robot body 1, so as to facilitate the inspection and repair of the crawler part of the crawler robot body 1; and when the crawler robot body 1 is climbing or descending a slope, if the slope angle is large and the crawler robot body 1 is likely to overturn, the motor 2 can be started to drive the side guard plates 3 to rotate until the support assembly contacts the slope surface, thereby providing additional support for the crawler robot body 1 (the explanation is: the crawler When the robot body 1 is going uphill, since the crawler robot body 1 is easy to fall backwards, only the two motors 2 at the rear end of the crawler robot body 1 need to be started; when the crawler robot body 1 is going downhill, since the crawler robot body 1 is easy to fall forward, only the two motors 2 at the front end of the crawler robot body 1 need to be started); at the same time, the motor 2 is controlled by the control system of the crawler robot body 1, which will not be described in detail here. In addition, the structure of the crawler robot body 1 in the utility model is similar to the prior art, a crawler inspection robot structure disclosed in the patent with patent authorization announcement number CN219544934U, so no further elaboration will be made here.

[0023] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the support assembly includes a support block 4, an insert block 6 and a connecting bolt 10. A plug hole 5 matching the insert block 6 is provided at the end of the top of the side guard plate 3 away from the motor 2. The insert block 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support block 4. The connecting bolt 10 passes through the top of the side guard plate 3 and extends to the interior of the insert block 6. The connecting bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the insert block 6.

[0024] Specifically, when the support block 4 is connected to the side guard plate 3, the plug block 6 is first inserted into the socket 5, and then the connecting bolt 10 is inserted into the plug block 6, and then the connecting bolt 10 is tightened. The installation process is simple and convenient, easy to operate, and it is easy to replace the support block 4 after it is damaged.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, one end of the support block 4 away from the insert block 6 is rotatably connected to a support roller 9. The support roller 9 replaces the support block 4 in contact with the ground, and rolling friction replaces sliding friction to avoid excessive wear of the support roller 9.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, a pre-fixing block 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the supporting block 4 , and a pre-fixing groove 7 matching the pre-fixing block 8 is formed on the side guard plate 3 .

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the end of the pre-fixing block 8 is arranged in a trapezoidal shape.

[0028] Specifically, when installing the support block 4 onto the side guard plate 3, the pre-fixing block 8 can be inserted into the pre-fixing groove 7 first, so as to pre-fix the support block 4, which is convenient for the subsequent insertion of the connecting bolt 10. At the same time, the trapezoidal pre-fixing block 8 has a better pre-fixing effect and effectively prevents the pre-fixing block 8 from detaching from the pre-fixing groove 7.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the length of the side guard plate 3 is smaller than the distance between adjacent motors 2 on the same side.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the four corners of the side guard plate 3 are all provided with rounded corners.

[0031] Specifically, if the length of the side guard plate 3 is not less than the spacing between adjacent motors 2 on the same side, when the motor 2 drives the side guard plate 3 to rotate, the side guard plate 3 can easily be stuck between the two motors 2 on one side. At the same time, the four corners of the side guard plate 3 are all provided with rounded corners, which further reduces the probability of the side guard plate 3 being stuck.

[0032] 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.
