The transfer box 1 has a storage space inside, and the storage space can accommodate the patrol robot. A delivery port 3 is provided on the bottom surface of the transfer box 1, and the delivery port 3 can connect the storage space with the space below the transfer box 1. The delivery platform 2 is used to carry the patrol robot. The delivery platform 2 is arranged on the transfer box 1, and the delivery platform 2 can rise or fall. The rising movement of the delivery platform 2 can enable the patrol robot to enter the storage space, and the descending movement of the delivery platform 2 can enable the patrol robot to leave the storage space from the delivery port 3. The driving device 4 is connected to the delivery platform 2 for transmission, and the driving device 4 can provide power for the rising and falling movements of the delivery platform 2.

[0029] The inspection robot delivery device provided by the present invention is particularly suitable for the delivery of cable trench inspection robots in electrolytic aluminum rectifier substations. The inspection robot is accommodated in the storage space inside the transfer box 1 to facilitate the transportation and protection of the inspection robot before and after delivery. By arranging a delivery platform 2 that can be moved up or down on the transfer box 1, after the transfer box 1 is placed in place, the delivery platform 2 moves down to carry the inspection robot out of the storage space from the delivery port 3 and lands to the target underground position. After the inspection operation is completed, the inspection robot returns to the delivery platform 2, and the delivery platform 2 moves up to carry the inspection robot into the storage space, thereby completing the delivery of the inspection robot and the recovery after the inspection operation is completed. This can effectively avoid personnel working in confined spaces such as going down wells and ditches, thereby improving the personal safety of personnel.
