[0024] In this technical solution, the inspection robot crossbeam 1 is the crossbeam of the two side walls of the industrial inspection robot, and the support plate 3 is installed on the side wall of the inspection robot crossbeam 1 as a carrier. The two ends of the side wall of the support plate 3 are installed with a protective plate 4 through a buffer component 8 and a shock absorbing component 7, and then the protective plate 4 reduces the impact force when a collision occurs, thereby preventing the inspection robot from being collided and protecting it.
