For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] A walking mechanism and a measuring robot thereof, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a housing 5, a first mounting slot 6, a second mounting slot 8, a third mounting slot 10, a fourth mounting slot 12 and a fifth mounting slot 4 are defined in the housing 5, a distance measuring mechanism 9 is disposed in the second mounting slot 8, and the distance measuring mechanism 9 includes a third motor 901, a rotating rod 902 is disposed at the output end of the third motor 901, a fixing block 903 is disposed at one end of the rotating rod 902, a laser sensor 904 is disposed on the top of the fixing block 903, and through holes 905 are defined around the second mounting slot 8;

[0034] The fifth mounting slot 4 is provided with a camera mechanism 14, which includes a fixed seat 1402, an electric push rod 1404 is provided inside the fixed seat 1402, a sliding seat 1405 is provided at one end of the electric push rod 1404, a camera 1401 is provided on the outer surface of the sliding seat 1405, and a third slide groove 1406 is provided on the inner wall of the sliding seat 1405. The third slide groove 1406 is engaged with the second slider 1403 for sliding movement. A fourth slide groove is provided on one side of the fifth mounting slot 4. 1407. A spring sleeve rod 1408 is provided inside the fourth slide groove 1407, a baffle 1409 is provided at one end of the spring sleeve rod 1408, and an arc surface 1410 is provided at one end of the baffle 1409. The electric push rod 1404 drives the sliding seat 1405 to slide in the fixed seat 1402, thereby adjusting the extension and retraction of the camera 1401. The arc surface 1410 converts the longitudinal thrust exerted on the baffle 1409 into lateral extrusion, so that the baffle 1409 effectively squeezes the spring sleeve rod 1408.

[0035] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 A second motor 7 is provided inside the first mounting groove 6, and a turntable shaft 3 is provided at the output end of the second motor 7. The second motor 7 is carefully installed in the first mounting groove 6, so that the motor can work stably and efficiently convert its electrical energy into mechanical energy. The flexible rotation of the turntable shaft 3 enables the robot to easily change the driving direction, helping the robot to better adapt to various terrains and obstacles.

[0036] See Figure 1 A fixed column 2 is provided at the bottom of the turntable shaft 3, and tracks 1 are provided on both sides of the fixed column 2. The fixed column 2 is located at the bottom of the turntable shaft 3, providing stable support for the entire walking mechanism, which helps to maintain the balance of the robot in various terrains and working environments and prevent it from tipping over or becoming unstable. The tracks 1 are provided on both sides of the fixed column 2, which significantly enhances the robot's passability, allowing the robot to easily cross obstacles, climb slopes, and adapt to uneven ground, thereby stably driving in various complex environments.

[0037] The implementation principle of the present utility model is as follows: first, a distance measuring mechanism 9 is set in the second mounting groove 8, and the laser sensor 904 passes through the through hole 905 to measure the distance the robot moves downward. When it reaches the specified position, the third motor 901 drives the rotating rod 902 to rotate, driving the laser sensor 904 to rotate to measure the distance between the sides and the upper and lower parts. At the same time, the electric push rod 1404 drives the sliding seat 1405 to slide out. When the camera 1401 is extended, it is squeezed against the arc surface 1410 of the baffle 1409 to make the baffle 1409 slide horizontally along the fourth slide groove 1407 to take pictures of the surroundings. When the picture is taken, the electric push rod 1404 drives the sliding seat 1405 to slide back. At the same time, the spring sleeve rod 1408 drives the baffles 1409 on both sides to merge and protect the camera 1401 through elastic force.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] See Figure 2 A GPS device 11 is provided inside the third installation slot 10, and a power storage mechanism 13 is provided inside the fourth installation slot 12. The GPS device 11 enables the robot to receive GPS signals in real time, thereby achieving precise positioning and ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data. Through the real-time position information provided by the GPS device 11, the robot can more effectively perform autonomous navigation, move along a predetermined path, and accurately reach the target location.

[0040] See Figure 2 、 Figure 4 The power storage mechanism 13 includes a battery 1301, a pull ring 1302 is provided on the top of the battery 1301, first sliders 1308 are provided on both sides of the battery 1301, and a first slide groove 1305 is opened on the inner wall of the fourth mounting groove 12. The first slider 1308 is adapted to the first slide groove 1305. The pull ring 1302 set on the top of the battery 1301 allows the user to easily pull the battery out of the power storage mechanism 13, and the first sliders 1308 set on both sides of the battery 1301 are adapted to the first slide groove 1305 opened on the inner wall of the fourth mounting groove 12 to ensure that the battery 1301 is stably fixed in the power storage mechanism 13, thereby preventing the battery 1301 from shaking or falling off during the movement or work of the robot.

[0041] See Figure 4 A spring block 1303 is provided on the inner wall of the first slide groove 1305, and a slope 1304 is provided on the top of the spring block 1303. The slope 1304 allows the spring block 1303 to be easily compressed and slid into the designated position by simply pushing the battery 1301 along the slope 1304 when installing the battery 1301. The close combination of the spring block 1303 and the first slide groove 1305, as well as the guiding effect of the slope 1304, jointly enhance the structural stability of the entire power storage mechanism 13.

[0042] See Figure 4 A second slide groove 1306 is provided on one side of the spring block 1303, and the second slide groove 1306 is engaged and slidably engaged with a connecting rod 1307. Both ends of the connecting rod 1307 are fixedly connected with spring blocks 1303. The spring block 1303 can firmly fix the battery 1301. The spring block 1303 uses its elasticity to tightly clamp the battery 1301 in the specified position to prevent the battery 1301 from shaking or falling off during the movement or operation of the robot. The second slide groove 1306 and the connecting rod 1307 make it easy to replace the battery 1301. When the battery needs to be replaced, the two spring blocks 1303 can be compressed at the same time by pushing the connecting rod 1307 to release the fixation on the battery 1301.

[0043] The implementation principle of the present utility model is: first, when replacing the battery 1301, the first slider 1308 can be aligned with the first slide groove 1305. When the battery 1301 moves downward, the first slider 1308 squeezes the inclined surface 1304 of the spring block 1303. When the battery 1301 is installed, the spring block 1303 pops out to lock the battery 1301. When the battery 1301 needs to be removed, the spring blocks 1303 on both sides can be pressed back, and at the same time, the connecting rod 1307 drives the spring blocks 1303 on the same side to be pressed back at the same time, and then the battery 1301 is pulled out through the pull ring 1302.

[0044] Parts not involved in the present invention are the same as those in the prior art or can be implemented by using the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not limitations on the present invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
