At the same time, the setting of the limiting telescopic rod 16 is utilized so that the threaded barrel 6 can perform a limiting function when driving the dual-axis motor 7 and the driving wheel 8 to rise and fall.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, a threaded hole is opened on the inner wall of the threaded barrel 6 , and the motor 1 4 and the screw rod 5 are located on the inner wall of the circular groove 1 3 .

[0023] In the above structure, through the setting of the threaded hole, the motor 4 can drive the screw rod 5 to rotate, and then the threaded cylinder 6 can smoothly drive the dual-axis motor 7 and the driving wheel 8 to move up and down.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment: an outer frame 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the robot body 1, an infrared thermal imager, a high-definition probe and an intelligent analysis probe are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer frame 2, and a monitoring camera is set on the outside of the robot body 1.

[0032] Working principle: When it is necessary to use this device, first use the setting of the driving wheel 8, and then control the controller through the ground remote control to make the controller control the dual-axis motor 7 to work, and use the power output shaft of the dual-axis motor 7 to drive the driving wheel 8 to move on the wire. When encountering an obstacle, the ground remote control can be used to control the controller to make the controller control the motor 14 to work, and use the power output shaft of the motor 14 to drive the screw rod 5 to rotate, and use the threaded connection between the screw rod 5 and the threaded barrel 6 to drive the first group of dual-axis motors 7 and driving wheels 8 to rise. Through the rise of the first group of dual-axis motors 7 and driving wheels 8, the predecessor of the device successfully passes through the obstacle, and then descends to make the driving wheel 8 re-engage with the obstacle. The wires are in contact, and then the second set of dual-axis motors 7 and driving wheels 8 are controlled to rise. At this time, the second set of dual-axis motors 7 and driving wheels 8 are driven by the first set of dual-axis motors 7 and driving wheels 8, causing them to pass through obstacles smoothly. At the same time, the setting of the limiting telescopic rod 16 is used to enable the threaded cylinder 6 to limit the dual-axis motor 7 and driving wheels 8 when they are driven to rise and fall. Secondly, the controller is controlled by the ground remote control to make the electric push rod 12 work, and the extended end of the electric push rod 12 is used to drive the movable clamping block 13 to extend outward. The setting of the movable clamping block 13 and the fixed clamping block 14 is used to slide and clamp the wires on both sides, thereby improving the stability of the device during movement and the stability when passing through obstacles.
