[0027] By using a stepper motor 9 to drive the screw 10 in slide rail 8 to rotate, the slide block 11 slides.

During the detection process, a cleaning roller 17 is used to clean the bottom of the bridge, removing dust and debris. By setting a sleeve 15 and a spring in the sleeve 15, the cleaning roller 17 can be kept in close contact with the bottom of the bridge.

During the sliding of the slide 11, the gaps at the bottom of the bridge are detected by the high-definition camera 18. During the detection, the bottom of the bridge is cleaned by the cleaning roller 17 to remove dust and debris. By setting the sleeve 15 and the spring in the sleeve 15, the cleaning roller 17 can be kept close to the bottom of the bridge. When a crack is detected, the paint in the material box 12 is sprayed into the crack by the nozzle 22 and the pump to repair the crack.
