[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] See also Figure 1-4 A patrol robot with an adjustable camera bracket includes a robot body 1, a telescopic sleeve 3 is connected to the top of the robot body 1, a lifting piston 6 is slidably connected to the upper end of the telescopic sleeve 3, a pan-tilt head 7 is installed on the top of the lifting piston 6, cameras 8 are fixed on both sides of the pan-tilt head 7, an oil supply assembly is provided on one side of the telescopic sleeve 3, and a mounting assembly is provided at the lower end of the telescopic sleeve 3.

[0023] The inspection robot with an adjustable camera bracket in the present invention has a method of obtaining a wider field of view due to special circumstances (such as obstacles on the road blocking the travel route of the robot body 1). At this time, hydraulic oil can be supplied to the telescopic sleeve 3 through the oil supply assembly, thereby lifting the lifting piston 6. Since the pan-tilt head 7 and the camera 8 are installed on the lifting piston 6, the pan-tilt head 7 and the camera 8 will rise accordingly, so that the robot body 1 can obtain a wider field of view, which is convenient for the robot body 1 to plan the route. At the same time, the pan-tilt head 7 can be installed on the top of the lifting piston 6 through threaded connection or clamping, so that the pan-tilt head 7 can be removed from the lifting piston 6 when replacing the telescopic sleeve 3. In addition, the structures of the robot body 1, pan-tilt head 7 and camera 8 in the present invention are similar to the prior art, and a patrol robot structure disclosed in the patent with patent authorization announcement number CN220882341U is not elaborated here.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the mounting assembly includes two symmetrically arranged connecting blocks 2, two symmetrically arranged connecting plates 4 and fixing bolts 5. The two connecting plates 4 are respectively fixed to the two sides of the lower end of the telescopic sleeve 3. The two connecting blocks 2 are respectively located on both sides of the telescopic sleeve 3. The two connecting blocks 2 are fixed to the top of the robot body 1. The connecting plate 4 is located on the inner side of the connecting block 2. The fixing bolt 5 is slidably connected to the connecting block 2. The lower end of the fixing bolt 5 passes through the connecting block 2 and is threadedly connected to the connecting plate 4.

[0025] Specifically, when installing the telescopic sleeve 3, it is only necessary to align the connecting plate 4 with the connecting block 2, then pass the fixing bolt 5 through the connecting block 2, and thread it with the connecting plate 4. The fixing method is simple and easy to operate.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the opposite surfaces of the two connecting blocks 2 are provided with guide arc surfaces, which match the telescopic sleeve 3. The guide arc surfaces can guide the telescopic sleeve 3 to facilitate alignment of the connecting plate 4 and the connecting block 2.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the oil supply assembly includes an oil tank 11, a piston plate 12 and a linear motor 13. The oil tank 11 is fixedly connected to the robot body 1, the piston plate 12 is located inside the oil tank 11, and the piston plate 12 is slidingly connected to the oil tank 11. The linear motor 13 is fixedly connected to the robot body 1, and the piston plate 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the linear motor 13.

[0028] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a threaded tube 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the telescopic sleeve 3 close to the oil storage tank 11 , and a connecting hose 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the oil storage tank 11 close to the telescopic sleeve 3 , and the connecting hose 10 is threadedly connected to the threaded tube 9 .

[0029] Specifically, when it is necessary to raise the height of the camera 8, it is only necessary to start the linear motor 13, and use the linear motor 13 to push the piston plate 12 toward the telescopic sleeve 3. The hydraulic oil inside the oil tank 11 will enter the telescopic sleeve 3 through the connecting hose 10 and the threaded tube 9, and then lift the lifting piston 6, thereby raising the position of the pan-tilt head 7 and the camera 8; and when it is necessary to lower the height of the camera 8, it is only necessary to start the linear motor 13, and use the linear motor 13 to pull the piston plate 12 away from the telescopic sleeve 3, so that the hydraulic oil inside the telescopic sleeve 3 enters the oil tank 11, and the lifting piston 6 will move downward without the support of the hydraulic oil, thereby moving the pan-tilt head 7 and the camera 8 downward together.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, a refueling pipe 14 is fixed to the top of the oil storage tank 11, and a cap 15 is threadedly connected to the top of the refueling pipe 14. When the hydraulic oil inside the oil storage tank 11 is reduced due to natural evaporation or other reasons, new hydraulic oil can be added to the oil storage tank 11 through the refueling pipe 14.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the connecting block 2 is L-shaped. The L-shaped connecting block 2 can pre-fix the connecting plate 4, so that the telescopic sleeve 3 is not likely to fall over even if the fixing bolt 5 has not been threadedly connected to the connecting plate 4.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
