The side ends of the moving devices are meshed with a guide rail. A pan-tilt is movably connected to the bottom end of the housing. A high-definition camera and a thermal imaging camera are movably connected to the side end of the pan-tilt. The high-definition camera and the thermal imaging camera are parallel to each other on the same horizontal plane. A blower is bolted to one side end of the housing. A control box is bolted to the surface of the housing. Through the blower and the heat dissipation openings, the interior of the hanging-rail inspection robot can be cooled, and the heat can be dissipated to the outside of the housing.

Specific embodiments

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , a hanging rail inspection robot applicable to different rail widths, including a robot body 1, the upper end of the robot body 1 is connected with a base 2, two symmetrically arranged grooves 3 are opened on the upper surface of the base 2, fixing blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the base 2, a sliding rod 5 is fixedly connected between every two fixing blocks 4, a fixing seat 6 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 5, a driving mechanism 7 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 6, a plurality of electric push rods 8 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 2, and the output end of the electric push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 6.

[0022] The hanging rail inspection robot applicable to different rail widths in the present utility model is similar in structure to the existing hanging rail inspection robot. For example, a patent with the publication number CN218905409U discloses a hanging rail inspection robot. The main improvement point of the present utility model is that: the distance between two fixing seats 6 on the sliding rod 5 can be adjusted through the electric push rod 8, so as to adjust the distance between two runners 706, so that this hanging rail inspection robot can be applicable to rails with different widths, and avoid the interruption of the inspection task caused by the change of the rail width due to reasons such as maintenance and transformation, and replace the new hanging rail inspection robot. As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, when the hanging-rail inspection robot in the present utility model that can be applicable to different track widths is in use, by driving the electric push rod 8, the electric push rod 8 gives a thrust to the fixed seat 6 slidably connected to the sliding rod 5, so that the distance between the two fixed seats 6 is increased, thereby adjusting the distance between the two runners 706. When the distance between the two runners 706 is greater than the track width, the two runners 706 are placed on both sides of the track, and the electric push rod 8 is retracted, so that the two fixed seats 6 move towards the middle at the same time, thereby the runners 706 can be slid onto the track. The driver 701 is driven, and the driver 701 drives the first rotating shaft 702 to rotate, so that the first gear 703 rotates. The first gear 703 meshes with the second gears 705 on both sides, so that the second gears 705 rotate as the first gear 703 rotates, so that the second rotating shaft 704 and the runner 706 at the front end of the second rotating shaft 704 rotate, thereby enabling the robot body 1 to move on the track. By operating in the reverse manner, the inspection robot can be taken off the track.

[0023] As Figure 1 or Figure 2 shown, the number of the fixed seats 6 and the driving mechanisms 7 is two each, and they are both symmetrically arranged about the left and right of the base 2.

[0024] Specifically, the fixed seat 6 is used to fix the driving mechanism 7, and the position of the runner 706 on the driving mechanism 7 is adjusted by the action of the electric push rod 8 to be applicable to tracks of different widths.

[0025] As Figure 4 shown, the fixed seat 6 includes a hollow structural plate 601. Both ends of the hollow structural plate 601 are fixedly connected with sliders 602. The sliders 602 are slidably connected to the sliding rod 5. A round hole 603 is opened on the lower surface of the hollow structural plate 601, and the round hole 603 is directly above the groove 3.

[0026] Specifically, the opened round hole 603 is used for the electric wire of the driver 701 to pass through the round hole 603 and the groove 3 to be connected with the power supply inside the base 2, and during the movement of the fixed seat 6, the inside of the hollow structural plate 601, the round hole 603, the groove 3 and the inside of the base 2 are always in a communicating state.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, both sides of the bottom of the hollow structural plate 601 are fixedly connected with cover plates 9.

[0028] Specifically, the cover plates 9 are used to seal the upper end of the groove 3 to prevent dust in the air from entering the inside of the base 2, thereby avoiding damaging the electrical components inside the base 2 or causing the inspection robot to short-circuit and stop working.

[0029] As Figure 5As shown in the figure, the driving mechanism 7 includes a driver 701 fixedly connected inside the hollow structure plate 601. The output end of the driver 701 is fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft 702. The front end of the first rotating shaft 702 is fixedly connected to a first gear 703. Two second rotating shafts 704 are rotatably connected to the hollow structure plate 601. The two second rotating shafts 704 are located on both sides of the first rotating shaft 702. Second gears 705 meshing with the first gear 703 are fixedly connected to the two second rotating shafts 704. The front ends of the two second rotating shafts 704 are fixedly connected to runners 706.

[0030] Specifically, when the driver 701 is driven, the driver 701 drives the first rotating shaft 702 to rotate, so that the first gear 703 rotates. The first gear 703 meshes with the second gears 705 on both sides, causing the second gears 705 to rotate as the first gear 703 rotates, so that the second rotating shafts 704 and the runners 706 at the front ends of the second rotating shafts 704 rotate, thereby enabling the robot body 1 to move on the track. By performing the opposite operation, the inspection robot can be removed from the track.

[0031] As Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the number of the electric push rods 8 is four. The output ends of the two outermost electric push rods 8 face left, and the output ends of the two innermost electric push rods 8 face right. The two outermost electric push rods 8 and the two innermost electric push rods 8 are installed in a staggered manner.

[0032] Specifically, the two outermost electric push rods 8 push the fixed seat 6 on the left, and the two innermost electric push rods 8 push the fixed seat 6 on the right. The staggered installation of the two outermost electric push rods 8 and the two innermost electric push rods 8 is due to the influencing factors of the length of the electric push rods 8.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
