[0029] Specifically, the moving component 100 includes a chassis 101, wheels 102 arranged on both sides of the chassis 101, a carrying box 103 arranged above the chassis 101, and an accommodation cavity 104 arranged inside the carrying box 103; the protection component 200 includes a driving member 201 arranged inside the accommodation cavity 104, a cooperating member 202 on the outer wall of the driving member 201, and an opening and closing member 203 on the outer wall of the cooperating member 202; the lifting component 300 includes a driving member 301 arranged inside the accommodation cavity 104 and a supporting member 302 arranged outside the driving member 301.

[0030] Preferably, the driving member 201 includes a support plate 201a arranged on the inner wall of the carrying box 103, and a motor 201b is arranged above the support plate 201a.

[0031] Preferably, a rotating shaft 201c is arranged at the output end of the motor 201b, and a gear 201d is arranged on the outer wall of one end of the rotating shaft 201c.

[0032] Preferably, the cooperating member 202 includes a first rack 202a and a second rack 202b meshing with the outer wall of the gear 201d.

[0033] Among them, the support plate 201a is arranged inside the accommodation cavity 104 to support the motor 201b; the rotating shaft 201c penetrates through the carrying box 103 and is connected to the gear 201d; the gear 201d is arranged above the carrying box 103 and meshes and rotates with the first rack 202a and the second rack 202b respectively; the first rack 202a and the second rack 202b are arranged in parallel, and when the gear 201d rotates, the moving directions of the first rack 202a and the second rack 202b are opposite.

[0036] Among them, the slide groove 203a guides the movement of the first door panel 203b and the second door panel 203c; the first door panel 203b and the second door panel 203c are movably arranged above the carrying box 103; the first rack 202a is fixedly connected to the first door panel 203b, and the second rack 202b is fixedly connected to the second door panel 203c through the connecting plate 202c; the slide bar 203d is arranged on the outer wall of one side of the first door panel 203b and the second door panel 203c close to the carrying box 103, and slides with the slide groove 203a.

[0037] In summary, when inspection is required, the motor 201b is started to make the shaft 201c drive the gear 201d to rotate, and the rotation of the gear 201d drives the first rack 202a and the second rack 202b to move in the opposite direction. At this time, the slide bar 203d and the slide groove 203a slide together, thereby driving the first door panel 203b and the second door panel 203c to move, thereby releasing the closure of the carrying box 103, making it easier for the camera 401f to extend for detection.

[0038] Example 2, reference Figures 3 to 5 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model, is based on the previous embodiment, and the difference is that after the first door panel 203b and the second door panel 203c are opened, the lifting assembly 300 can drive the camera 401f to extend out of the accommodating cavity.

[0039] Specifically, the driving member 301 includes a cylinder 301a disposed inside the accommodating chamber 104, a telescopic rod 301b is disposed at the output end of the cylinder 301a, and a fixing plate 301c is disposed on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 301b.

[0040] Preferably, the support member 302 includes a vertical plate 302a arranged inside the accommodating cavity 104, a movable groove 302b is opened on the outer wall of the vertical plate 302a, a receiving plate 302c is provided on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 301b, a protrusion 302d is provided on the outer wall of the receiving plate 302c, the protrusion 302d is movably matched with the movable groove 302b, and a stabilizing plate 302e is provided above the receiving plate 302c.

[0042] In summary, when the first door panel 203b and the second door panel 203c are opened, the air cylinder 301a is activated to move the telescopic rod 301b upward. Under the action of the fixing plate 301c, the receiving plate 302c moves upward. At this time, the convex block 302d slides in the movable slot 302b. Since the receiving plate 302c is fixedly connected to the stabilizing plate 302e, the stabilizing plate 302e drives the camera 401f to move upward and extend out of the accommodating cavity 104.

[0043] When the monitoring is completed, the air cylinder 301a is activated again to drive the receiving plate 302c to move downward by the telescopic rod 301b, so that the stabilizing plate 302e drives the camera 401f to retract into the accommodating cavity 104. Further, the motor 201b is activated. Under the meshing cooperation of the gear 201d with the first rack 202a and the second rack 202b, the first door panel 203b and the second door panel 203c are closed, playing a role in sealing the carrying box 103 and protecting the internal equipment.

[0044] Embodiment 3, referring to Figures 1 to 5 , is the third embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides an intelligent inspection robot, including an inspection component 400, which achieves the inspection function of a construction site by setting a collection member 401 and a processing member 402.

[0045] Specifically, the inspection component 400 includes a collection member 401 and a processing member 402; the collection member 401 includes a power supply 401a.

A navigation system 401d is provided at one end of the positioning system 401c. A sensor 401e and a camera 401f are provided at the output end of the navigation system 401d.

[0046] Preferably, the processing member 402 includes an AI processor 402a provided at the output end of the sensor 401e. An alarm 402b is provided at one end of the AI processor 402a. A data processing and compression unit 402c is provided at one end of the alarm 402b. A power consumption monitoring sensor 402d is provided at one end of the data processing and compression unit 402c. A data storage 402e is provided in the power consumption monitoring sensor 402d.

[0047] Among them, the self-check module 401b can detect system failures when the robot starts, ensuring that the robot is in a normal working state before performing tasks; the positioning system 401c and the navigation system 401d ensure that the robot accurately locates its own position within the inspection area and effectively plans the inspection path; the sensors 401e and the camera 401f are used to collect environmental data and visual information during the inspection process; the AI processor 402a performs intelligent analysis on the collected data to identify abnormal situations; the alarm 402b can issue an alarm in a timely manner when an abnormal situation is detected to alert relevant personnel; after the data processing and compression unit 402c processes the data, the power monitoring sensor 402d and the data storage 402e are responsible for storing the status information and inspection data of the robot; the power monitoring sensor 402d monitors the battery power of the robot to ensure that the robot returns to charge or ends the task before the power is insufficient; the data stored in the data storage 402e can be used for later analysis and auditing, improving the quality and efficiency of the inspection work.

[0048] In summary, by starting the power supply 401a, the mobile component 100 performs the inspection task according to the inspection path planned by the positioning system 401c and the navigation system 401d. During this process, the camera 303 and the sensors 401e continuously collect data, and the AI processor 402a analyzes these data in real time to ensure that any potential safety risks or quality problems can be detected and processed in a timely manner. At the same time, the power monitoring sensor 402d ensures that the robot can return before the power is insufficient, while the data storage 402e stores all important information for future needs, not only improving the efficiency and reliability of the inspection work in the field of building construction, but also greatly enhancing the safety management level of the construction site through intelligent data analysis and timely abnormal alarms.
