[0025] It should be noted that since most inspection robots are not equipped with protective equipment, when the inspection robot collides with external objects, the outer shell of the inspection robot is easily damaged, resulting in the need for frequent inspection and maintenance operations.

[0026] In this embodiment, when using this device, first, the device is set at a designated location, and then the inspection robot body 1 is started, so that the inspection robot body 1 can intelligently patrol the traffic conditions of the toll station square, intelligently identify and alarm abnormal events, and record videos, and replace manual traffic diversion. It can also provide information warnings, policy publicity, and answer questions through the onboard screen, thereby reducing the number of toll station maintenance personnel, improving the service efficiency of toll stations, and reducing the safety risks of manual maintenance at highway toll stations.

[0027] When the inspection robot body 1 moves to a place where there is an obstacle, the protective plate 3 contacts the obstacle, and the buffer spring 4 is compressed, so that the protective plate 3 protects the inspection robot body 1 to ensure that it does not contact the obstacle, and the protection effect is better.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rain shield mechanism includes: a support plate 7 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 2; a rain shield 8 assembled on one side of the support plate 7, and the rain shield 8 is located above the inspection robot body 1; a support mechanism provided on the rain shield 8 and the mounting frame 2 for auxiliary support of the rain shield 8; and an auxiliary rain shielding mechanism provided on the rain shield 8 for auxiliary protection of the rain shield 8 from rain.

[0029] In this embodiment, during the rainy season, the rain shield 8 shields the inspection robot body 1 from rain, thereby reducing the contact between rainwater and the inspection robot body 1, preventing rainwater from eroding the inspection robot body 1, and protecting the inspection robot body 1 from damage. At the same time, it can also conduct inspections in rainy weather, and has a better rain shielding effect.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support mechanism includes: a group of connecting blocks 9 respectively installed on the rain shield 8 and the mounting frame 2, and a group of the connecting blocks 9 are each provided with a T-shaped slot; and a support rod 10 slidably installed in a group of the T-shaped slots.

[0031] In this embodiment, the rain shield 8 is supported by the support rod 10 to ensure that it does not shake, which is beneficial for the rain shield 8 to shield the inspection robot body 1 from rain.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary rain shielding mechanism includes: a slide groove 11 opened on the top of the rain shield 8; a slide rod 12 fixedly installed in the slide groove 11; a slider 13 slidably installed on the slide rod 12; and an arc-shaped plate 14 fixedly installed on the slider 13, and the arc-shaped plate 14 is in sliding contact with the rain shield 8.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the rain is heavy and the curved plate 14 is needed to assist in rain protection, the electric telescopic rod 15 is first started, so that the electric telescopic rod 15 drives the baffle 16 to slide away from the curved plate 14, and then the curved plate 14 drives the slider 13 to slide along the slide rod 12 according to its own gravity, and then the curved plate 14 slides along one side of the rain shield 8, so that the curved plate 14 assists the inspection robot body 1 in rain protection. After that, the electric telescopic rod 15 is started, so that the baffle 16 slides and contacts the curved plate 14, and then the curved plate 14 is limited to ensure that it will not be displaced, which is conducive to improving the rain protection effect.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, an electric telescopic rod 15 is fixedly mounted on one side of the rain shield 8 , a baffle 16 is fixedly mounted on the electric telescopic rod 15 , and the baffle 16 is in sliding contact with the arc-shaped plate 14 .

[0035] In this embodiment, when the curved plate 14 needs to be stored, the curved plate 14 is first slid so that the curved plate 14 drives the slider 13 to slide along the slide rod 12, so that the curved plate 14 slides to the top of the rain shield 8, and then the electric telescopic rod 15 is started to drive the baffle 16 to slide, so that the baffle 16 slides and contacts the curved plate 14, and then the position is limited to complete the storage operation of the curved plate 14, which is relatively convenient to operate.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a buffer block 17 is sleeved on the slide rod 12 , and the buffer block 17 is connected to one side of the slide groove 11 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the buffer block 17 is provided to facilitate buffering of the slider 13 , thereby absorbing and alleviating the impact of the slider 13 sliding downward, thereby ensuring that the slider 13 will not be damaged during long-term use, and having a better protective effect.

[0038] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a bracket is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block 9, and a threaded rod 18 is rotatably installed on the bracket. A threaded barrel 19 is threadedly sleeved on the threaded rod 18, and the threaded barrel 19 is slidably connected to the connecting block 9 and the support rod 10.

[0039] In this embodiment, after the support rod 10 is installed, the threaded rod 18 is rotated so that the threaded rod 18 drives the threaded barrel 19 to slide along the connecting block 9. Since the threaded barrel 19 is arranged in a rectangular shape, it is ensured that the threaded barrel 19 can slide smoothly along the connecting block 9. Then, the threaded barrel 19 is slid to connect with the support rod 10 to limit the support rod 10, and the operation is relatively quick.

[0040] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mounting frame 2 is composed of a group of U-shaped frames, and a U-shaped block 20 and a connecting plate 21 are respectively installed on a group of the U-shaped frames.

The positioning rod 22 is provided with a compression spring and a baffle, and the two ends of the compression spring are fixedly connected to the baffle and the U-shaped block 20 respectively.

[0041] In this embodiment, when installing the mounting frame 2, first place a group of U-shaped frames on the outer shell of the inspection robot body 1, then slide a group of U-shaped frames so that the connecting plate 21 slides into the U-shaped block 20, and then use the positioning rod 22 to position the connecting plate 21. After the U-shaped frames are positioned, bolts are used to fix the group of U-shaped frames, which makes installation more convenient.

[0042] In summary, this device can effectively protect the inspection robot and reduce the probability of damage to the inspection robot shell.

[0043] Compared with related technologies, this device meets the urgent needs of toll stations for intelligent service functions such as guidance, diversion, broadcasting, alarm, and patrol through the autonomous navigation and intelligent interaction functions of the inspection robot body 1. The inspection robot body 1 is protected by the protective plate 3, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the inspection robot shell, and the protection effect is better. The rain shield 8 and the curved plate 14 are used in combination to protect the inspection robot body 1 from rain, and the rain shield effect is better.
