A sponge pad 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 16. An oil pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the connecting frame 16 and passes through the inner and outer sides of the connecting frame 16. The outward end of the oil pipe 18 is installed at the bottom of the right end of the oil tank 9. The outer wall of the transmission column 5 is located on the right side of the sponge pad 17 and is fixedly connected to the cam 10. A square groove 30 is provided at the top of the transmission column 5. Holes 31 are provided on the lower sides of the left and right ends of the inner wall of the square groove 30. A plug rod 6 is provided on the inner wall of the square groove 30. The shape of the lower side of the outer wall of the plug rod 6 matches the shape of the inner wall of the square groove 30. The top of the plug rod 6 is fixedly connected to the top plate 7, and the top of the top plate 7 is fixedly connected to the inspection equipment body 8;
[0030] Further explanation: the transport vehicle 1 has a built-in drive device and is electrically connected to the signal receiving and control integrated device. Before the transport vehicle 1 is started, the discharge valve connected to the oil pipeline 18 is opened first to allow the lubricating oil in the oil tank 9 to flow into the sponge pad 17. The sponge pad 17 only needs to absorb a certain amount and then close the discharge valve. Then the transport vehicle 1 is remotely controlled to move along the specified inspection route. When moving, the control motor 13 is started intermittently. When the motor 13 is started, the worm 14 is driven to rotate, and the worm wheel 11 engaged with the worm 14 will rotate with the transmission column 5. With the help of the connection between the plug rod 6 and the top plate 7, the inspection equipment body 8 also rotates accordingly. Synchronous rotation forms a multi-angle inspection. At the same time, the transmission column 5 rotates to drive the cam 10 to rotate. Every time the raised part of the cam 10 rotates to the side of the sponge pad 17 and contacts it, it squeezes the sponge pad 17, causing the lubricating oil therein to be squeezed out and dripping onto the meshing part of the worm 14 and the worm wheel 11. Through the transmission contact between the two, the lubricating oil can be evenly distributed, reducing the wear of the meshing transmission and extending the life of the components. Moreover, the lubricating oil can only drip out after the cam 10 rotates to the side of the sponge pad 17 and contacts and squeezes it each time. This method effectively saves the amount of lubricating oil and prevents excessive manual application of lubricating oil, which brings resistance to the transmission of the steering mechanism.
[0031] In addition, a signal receiving and controlling device is installed on the top front side of the base 2, which is used to receive instructions and operate the electric drive equipment. A laser radar is installed at the bottom right end of the transport vehicle 1 to detect whether there are obstacles on the road during operation. Motor 13 is electrically connected to the remote signal receiver, and after receiving the instruction, motor 13 will start.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] See also Figure 5-Figure 6 , further on the basis of embodiment 1, the inner walls on both sides of the rear end of the inner recessed frame 19 are rotatably connected to the rotating rod 22, and the middle part of the outer wall of the rotating rod 22 is fixedly connected to the gear 23, and the gears 23 are meshed with each other. The front and rear sides of the outer wall of the rotating rod 22 are fixedly connected to the connecting rod 20, and the upper inner wall of the opposite end of the connecting rod 20 is rotatably connected to the slide 21. The outer wall of the slide 21 is respectively slidably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the bottom end of the base 2, and the left side of the front end of the inner recessed frame 19 is fixedly connected to the motor 24. The driving end of the motor 24 passes through the inner wall of the inner recessed frame 19 and is fixedly connected to the front end of the left rotating rod 22;
[0034] To further explain, after receiving the corresponding instruction, the remote signal receiver will start motor 24, causing it to drive the corresponding rotating rod 22 to rotate, and then drive the side gear 23 to rotate. Since the gears 23 on both sides are engaged with each other, they will rotate in relative directions, causing the connecting rod 20 on the outer wall of the rotating rod 22 to rotate and lift up, and the slide 21 at the other end of the connecting rod 20 will slide in the relative direction at the bottom of the base 2. At the same time, the lifting process of the connecting rod 20 will push the base 2 to rise, thereby increasing the horizontal height of the inspection equipment body 8 and expanding its wide-angle range of inspection.
[0035] Example 3
[0036] See also Figure 7-Figure 8 , further on the basis of embodiment 1, the lower parts of the left and right sides of the inner wall of the insertion rod 6 are slidably connected with movable plates 25, and the bottom of the opposite end of the movable plate 25 is fixedly connected to the limit pin 26, and the outer walls of the limit pin 26 are respectively slidably connected to the inner walls of the bottom left and right ends of the insertion rod 6, and the shape of the opposite end of the limit pin 26 matches the shape of the inner wall of the hole groove 31. The top of the opposite end of the movable plate 25 is fixedly connected with a push rod 27, and the outer walls of the push rod 27 are respectively slidably connected to the middle parts of the left and right sides of the inner wall of the insertion rod 6, and the opposite end of the push rod 27 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 28, and the opposite end of the pressure plate 28 is located on the outside of the push rod 27 and is fixedly connected to a spring 29, and the opposite end of the spring 29 is respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the middle part of the left and right ends of the insertion rod 6;
[0037] To explain further, if the inspection equipment body 8 needs to be inspected and repaired, it is only necessary to press the pressure plates 28 on both sides. At this time, the push rod 27 will slide into the insertion rod 6 and push the movable plate 25 to move. The spring 29 is compressed, and the limit bolt 26 at the bottom of one end of the movable plate 25 will retract into the insertion rod 6 and disengage from the hole groove 31, releasing the limiting relationship between the transmission column 5 and the insertion rod 6. Then, the insertion rod 6 is pulled out of the square groove 30 of the transmission column 5 to complete the disassembly of the insertion rod 6, making it convenient to carry out maintenance work on the inspection equipment body 8 on the top plate 7.
[0038] Working principle: First, before the transport vehicle 1 is started, the discharge valve connected to one end of the oil pipe 18 is opened, so that the lubricating oil in the oil tank 9 flows along the oil pipe 18 to the sponge pad 17. The sponge pad 17 only needs to absorb a small amount of lubricating oil, and does not need to be completely filled. Then the discharge valve is closed, and the transport vehicle 1 is remotely controlled to move on the prescribed inspection route. While moving, the control motor 13 is started intermittently. When starting, it will drive the worm 14 to rotate, causing the worm wheel 11 meshing with one side of the worm 14 to rotate with the transmission column 5, and then through the connection of the plug rod 6 and the top plate 7, the inspection equipment body 8 is rotated synchronously, thereby realizing multi-angle inspection of the inspection equipment body 8, and when the transmission column 5 rotates At the same time as the movement, the cam 10 is driven to rotate, and the raised end of the cam 10 will contact the sponge pad 17 each time it rotates to the side of the sponge pad 17, and squeeze the sponge pad 17, causing the lubricating oil in the sponge pad 17 to be squeezed out and dripped between the worm 14 and the worm wheel 11. Then, relying on the transmission contact between the worm 14 and the worm wheel 11, the lubricating oil can be evenly applied to the meshing part, reducing the wear generated between the meshing transmission and improving the service life of the components. In addition, the dripping of the lubricating oil occurs when the cam 10 is squeezed and dripped from the sponge pad 17 each time the transmission column 5 rotates to the side of the sponge pad 17, which effectively saves the amount of lubricating oil and avoids manual application of too much at one time, which causes a certain resistance to the transmission of the steering mechanism.
[0039] By starting the second motor 24, the corresponding end of the rotating rod 22 is driven to rotate, and the gear 23 on the side is driven to rotate. Under the relationship between the gears 23 on both sides, the gears 23 on both sides are meshed with each other, so that the gears 23 on both sides rotate in opposite directions, thereby driving the connecting rod 20 on the outer wall of the rotating rod 22 to rotate and lift, causing the slide 21 at the other end of the connecting rod 20 to slide in the opposite direction at the bottom of the base 2. In the process of rotating and lifting, the connecting rod 20 pushes the base 2 upward, prompting the horizontal height of the inspection device body 8 to be raised, thereby increasing the wide-angle range of the inspection of the inspection device body 8;
[0040] By pressing the pressure plates 28 on both sides, the push rod 27 slides into the insertion rod 6 and pushes the movable plate 25 to move. At the same time, the spring 29 is squeezed, and the limit bolt 26 at the bottom of one end of the movable plate 25 will be retracted into the insertion rod 6, so that one end of the limit bolt 26 will be disengaged from the hole groove 31, releasing the limiting relationship between the transmission column 5 and the insertion rod 6, and then the insertion rod 6 is pulled out of the square groove 30 of the dynamic transmission column 5 to realize the disassembly of the insertion rod 6, making it convenient to perform maintenance operations on the inspection equipment body 8 on the top of the top plate 7.
[0041] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood 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, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
