Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, the abstract and the title of this utility model. Such simplifications or omissions shall not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention is proposed.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution;

[0007] A power intelligent inspection robot arm equipped with a camera, including a mounting base for mounting onto the inspection robot.

[0008] It also includes a lifting mechanism, which includes a slide rail disposed on the side of the mounting base and a slider that slides along the slide rail;

[0009] The lifting mechanism also includes a lifting drive device, the lifting end of which is located at the bottom of the slider;

[0010] The slide rail extends vertically, and the slider has an extended portion that is perpendicular to the slide rail.

[0011] It also includes a telescopic mechanism, which includes a telescopic drive device, and the telescopic drive device is fixed to the extended portion;

[0012] The telescopic drive device is connected to a camera mounting base for mounting a camera at its telescopic end.

[0013] The above design firstly uses a lifting mechanism to adjust the camera to a suitable height, making it easy to aim at the instruments and displays on various substation cabinets; secondly, it uses a telescopic mechanism to control the camera's telescopic movement with a telescopic drive device, bringing the camera closer to the instruments and displays on the substation cabinet so that the camera can clearly capture the text, data, or images on the instruments and displays to complete the inspection task; and thirdly, it uses a camera adapter to facilitate the fixed installation of the camera.

[0014] Preferably, the telescopic drive device is a pneumatic telescopic drive device, which includes at least two telescopic rods, and the camera mounting base is fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the at least two telescopic rods; the telescopic rods are hollow telescopic rods. Using a pneumatic telescopic device allows for rapid pneumatic system operation, suitable for rapid telescopic needs. The hollow telescopic rods reduce weight and the burden on the lifting drive device. The two telescopic rods in the pneumatic telescopic device are double-rod slide cylinders, providing higher stability and reducing the likelihood of camera deflection.

[0015] Preferably, a support bar is further provided below the telescopic drive device, and a sliding groove is provided on the extended portion. The support bar is slidably disposed in the sliding groove, and one end of the support bar is connected to the lower part of the camera mounting base. By providing a support bar, the stability of the camera mounting base is increased, ensuring that the camera mounting base will not deflect or tip over, thus affecting the accuracy of the camera.

[0016] Preferably, the support bar is configured as a T-shaped support bar. A T-shaped support bar is less prone to deformation and provides better support strength.

[0017] Preferably, at least two support bars are provided, and at least two sliding grooves are provided, with one support bar cooperating in each sliding groove. Using two support bars provides more even and stable support.

[0018] Preferably, the lifting drive device is a screw-driven lifting device, which has a screw as a lifting rod; the extended portion is provided with a rotary joint, which is rotatably connected to the top of the screw. By using a screw-driven lifting device, the lifting force is greater, and the position of the slider can be stably fixed when it reaches a suitable position.

[0019] Preferably, the slide rails have symmetrical sliding tracks, the slider is located between the two slide rails, and the rotary joint is positioned at the symmetrical center of the two slide rails. This allows the lifting rod to support the slider more stably via the rotary joint.

[0020] Preferably, the distance between the rotary joint and the slide rail is greater than one-quarter of the length of the extended structure. This prevents the lifting rod from lifting the slider unevenly due to an excessively large lever arm. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The lifting mechanism also includes a lifting drive device 6, the lifting end of which is located at the bottom of the slider 3;

[0032] The slide rail 2 extends vertically, and the slider 3 has an extended portion that is perpendicular to the slide rail 2.

[0033] It also includes a telescopic mechanism, which includes a telescopic drive device 4, which is fixed to the extended portion;

[0034] The telescopic drive device 4 has a camera mounting base 5 for mounting a camera connected to its telescopic end.

[0035] The above design firstly uses a lifting mechanism to adjust the camera to a suitable height, making it easy for the camera to be aimed at the instruments and displays on various substation cabinets; secondly, it uses a telescopic mechanism to control the telescopic movement of the camera with the telescopic drive device 4, bringing the camera closer to the instruments and displays on the substation cabinet so that the camera can clearly capture the text, data or images on the instruments and displays to complete the inspection task; and thirdly, it uses a camera adapter to facilitate the fixed installation of the camera.

[0036] The telescopic drive device 4 is a pneumatic telescopic drive device, which includes at least two telescopic rods 41. The camera mounting base 5 is fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the at least two telescopic rods 41. The telescopic rods 41 are hollow telescopic rods. The pneumatic telescopic drive device 4 allows for rapid pneumatic system operation, suitable for quick telescopic needs, and can conveniently and quickly assist the camera in completing its recording function. The hollow telescopic rods 41 reduce weight and the burden on the lifting drive device 6. The pneumatic telescopic device with two telescopic rods 41 is a double-rod slide cylinder, which provides higher stability and prevents the camera from deflecting.

[0037] In use, the camera is adjusted to a suitable height by setting the lifting mechanism, and then the telescopic drive device 4 is used to control the telescopic movement of the camera by setting the telescopic mechanism. The camera is brought close to the instruments and displays on the transformer cabinet so that the camera can clearly capture the text, data or images on the instruments and displays. The telescopic drive device 4, which uses pneumatic telescopic equipment, has a fast pneumatic system and is suitable for rapid telescopic needs. It can help the camera complete the recording function conveniently and quickly.

[0038] Example 2

[0044] The slide rail 2 has symmetrical sliding tracks, the slider 3 is located between the two slide rails 2, and the rotary joint is located at the symmetrical center of the two slide rails 2. This allows the lifting rod 61 to support the slider 3 more stably through the rotary joint.

[0045] The distance between the rotary joint and the slide rail 2 is greater than one-quarter of the length of the extended structure. This prevents the lifting rod 61 from lifting the slider 3 unevenly due to an excessively large lever arm.

[0046] In use, the two T-shaped support bars 7 increase the uniformity and stability of the movement of the camera mounting base 5. The T-shaped support bars 7 are not easily deformed and have better support strength. The lifting drive device 6 of the screw lifting device has a greater lifting force and can stably fix the position of the slider 3 when it reaches the appropriate position.
