The motor 11 drives the clamping wheel 12 to move on the track 2, thereby driving the box body 1 to move for inspecting the flood discharge gate. When the box body 1 moves from one end of the track 2 to the other end, turn on the electromagnet 5 and turn off the electromagnet 4. The electromagnet 5 is fixed on the flood discharge gate. The motor 11 drives the track 2 to move through the clamping wheel 12, so that the track 2 moves on the flood discharge gate through the rollers 3, thereby ensuring that the inspection robot can move on the flood discharge gate, eliminating the need for a hoisting device to move the inspection robot and avoiding missed inspections, ensuring a comprehensive inspection of the flood discharge gate.

[0036] In this embodiment, the camera 8 is installed inside the box body 1 through a rotating shaft. The first motor 10 is installed on the inner wall of the top of the box body 1 through bolts. The top of the camera 8 is key-connected to the output shaft of the first motor 10. An observation port 20 is hermetically installed on the box body 1. A lighting lamp 9 is installed on the camera 8 through bolts. A bushing 13 is welded to the other side of the box body 1. The third motor 14 is installed on the top of the bushing 13 through bolts. A filter cartridge 16 is welded to the inner wall of the bushing 13. A screw plate 15 is clamped inside the filter cartridge 16. The top end of the screw plate 15 passes through the inner wall of the top end of the bushing 13 and is key-connected to the output shaft of the third motor 14. The bottom end of the screw plate 15 extends to the inner wall of the bottom end of the bushing 13. A pressure valve 19 is installed at the bottom end of the bushing 13.

During the inspection work, the lighting lamp 9 provides illumination. The camera 8 inspects the flood discharge gate through the observation port 20. At the same time, the first motor 10 drives the camera 8 to rotate, increasing the inspection range. The third motor 14 drives the screw plate 15 to rotate inside the bushing 13, sucking water through the inlets 17 into the inside of the bushing 13. The water is filtered and then enters the outside of the filter cartridge 16, and then flows upward from the bottom of one side of the box body 1 through the conduit 18, ensuring the clarity of the water quality on one side of the box body 1. Furthermore, it ensures that the camera 8 can clearly see the state of the flood discharge gate, avoiding problems such as not being able to see the tiny cracks on the flood discharge gate due to unclear water quality, and ensuring the reliability of the inspection work. The impurities filtered out in the filter cartridge 16 are pushed by the screw plate 15 to push open the pressure valve 19 and discharge outward, ensuring the filtering function of the filter cartridge 16.

[0037] The flood discharge gate inspection robot of this dam provides electrical energy for all electrical equipment through an external power supply. When in use, move the track 2 near the flood discharge gate. First, turn on the electromagnet 1 4. The electromagnet 1 4 adsorbs and fixes on the flood discharge gate. The motor 2 11 drives the caster 12 to move on the track 2, thereby driving the box body 1 to move, so as to inspect the flood discharge gate. When the box body 1 moves from one end of the track 2 to the other end, turn on the electromagnet 2 5 and turn off the electromagnet 1 4. The electromagnet 2 5 is fixed on the flood discharge gate. The motor 2 11 drives the track 2 to move through the caster 12, so that the track 2 moves on the flood discharge gate through the roller 3, thereby ensuring that the inspection robot can move on the flood discharge gate, eliminating the need for a hoisting device to move the inspection robot and avoiding the situation of missed inspections, ensuring a comprehensive inspection of the flood discharge gate. During the inspection work, the lighting lamp 9 provides illumination. The camera 8 inspects the flood discharge gate through the observation port 20. At the same time, the motor 1 10 drives the camera 8 to rotate, expanding the inspection range. The motor 3 14 drives the screw plate 15 to rotate inside the bushing 13, sucking water through the inlet 17 into the inside of the bushing 13. The water is filtered and then enters the outside of the filter cartridge 16, and then flows upward from the bottom of one side of the box body 1 through the conduit 18, ensuring the clarity of the water quality on one side of the box body 1, thereby ensuring that the camera 8 can clearly see the state of the flood discharge gate, avoiding problems such as tiny cracks on the flood discharge gate not being visible due to unclear water quality, and ensuring the reliability of the inspection work. The impurities filtered out in the filter cartridge 16 are pushed by the screw plate 15 to push open the pressure valve 19 and discharge outward, ensuring the filtering function of the filter cartridge 16.

[0038] Preferably, a rotating rod 21 is installed at the bottom of the camera 8 through bolts, and the bottom end of the rotating rod 21 is installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the box body 1 through a bearing.

[0039] Preferably, the filter cartridge 16 is a stainless steel filter cartridge or a ceramic filter cartridge. The filter cartridge 16 is a rigid material and has a cylindrical structure with tiny filter holes.

[0040] The right side of the conduit 18 covers the outer side of the bottom end of the bushing 13 and is interconnected with the conduit 18 through the opening structure at the bottom end of the bushing 13. The bottom end of the bushing 13 is connected to the conduit 18.

[0041] When the device is working, it inspects the flood discharge gate of the underwater dam. The outlet on one side of the conduit 18 faces upward. Therefore, the filtered water flows upward from the conduit 18 from the bottom of one side of the box body 1.

[0042] The observation ports 20 are installed on multiple side walls of the box body 1, preferably three side walls. The observation ports 20 are respectively installed on the left side and the front and rear sides of the box body 1. Since the water flowing out of the conduit 18 is the water filtered by the filter cartridge 16, and at the same time, this device is used at the dam flood discharge gate. After cleaning the solid impurities, the clarity of the water can be effectively improved. At the same time, the clear water is made to flow upward on the left side of the box body 1 by using the conduit 18, thereby ensuring that the water between the box body 1 and the dam flood discharge gate is relatively clear and ensuring the monitoring work of the camera 8 on the dam flood discharge gate.

[0043] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described according to the embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
