Those skilled in the art can add their own layout based on the process flow and equipment structure selection, and the present invention does not make special requirements and specific limitations on this.

[0039] In some embodiments, the explosion-proof pan / tilt head 200 is further provided with a data transmission device, the input end of which is respectively connected to the camera 1, the smoke detection component 2, and the wind speed detection component 3, and the output end of which is communicatively connected to the control device 4.

The spray sleeve 63 is mounted on the support rod 61 and is equipped with an atomizing nozzle 64. During use, when the robot detects abnormal smoke concentration, it controls the cooling device to activate, uses the lifting assembly 7 to drive the spray assembly 6 to rise, and extends out of the mobile housing 100. The spray liquid in the water tank 12 is distributed through the connecting pipe 62 to each spray sleeve 63, and then sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle 64 after being atomized, achieving the effect of cooling and heat dissipation.

[0043] Furthermore, a liquid level detection component 121 is provided in the water tank 12, and the liquid level detection component 121 is communicatively connected to the control device 4 to monitor the water level in the water tank 12 in real time so as to replenish water in time, thereby improving the continuity of the automatic cooling work.

[0047] In some embodiments, the side wall of the mobile housing 100 is further provided with an audible and visual alarm 14 , which is electrically connected to the control device 4 . When the robot detects an abnormality, the control device 4 immediately triggers the audible and visual alarm 14 to issue a prompt.

These front-end obstacle detection assembly 15 and rear-end obstacle detection assembly 16 are independently communicatively connected to the control device 4. Because coal mine tunnels are complex and varied, and various equipment and road obstacles exist along the monitoring route, the present invention incorporates a roadblock detection function by providing the front-end obstacle detection assembly 15 and rear-end obstacle detection assembly 16, thereby preventing obstructions to the movement of the traveling mechanism 400 and collisions between the mobile housing 100 and obstacles.

[0049] In some embodiments, an emergency stop switch 17 is further provided on the top of the mobile housing 100. The emergency stop switch 17 is electrically connected to the walking mechanism 400.
