The upper end surface of the pick -up car 200 is provided with a positioning edge column 210, which can abut and position the rear side and the left and right sides of the tunnel inspection car 101, and ensure the stable placement of the inspection car on the pick -up car. In addition, the movable column 400 has a limiting state and a retracted state. When in the limiting state, the front side of the inspection car on the pick -up car 200 can be limited to prevent displacement or falling on the receiving platform. When in the retracted state, the movable column is lower than or flush with the upper end surface of the pick -up car, avoiding hindering the forward and backward movement of the inspection car. This design effectively avoids the potential safety hazards of inaccurate alignment, inspection car shaking or falling during manual operation, ensuring the safety of the inspection car and the operator. The entire upper and lower rail process is automatically completed by the drive mechanism, and the operator does not need to directly contact the inspection car for operation. Only the start and stop of the drive mechanism need to be controlled, and the upper and lower rail of the inspection car can be easily realized, greatly reducing the operation difficulty and labor intensity, and improving the convenience and comfort of operation. At the same time, the mechanism has compact structure and reasonable layout, and can well adapt to the narrow and complex space environment in the tunnel, further enhancing its applicability and flexibility in practical application. In addition, the receiving platform can also be designed to be adjustable in height, so that when the inspection car is put on or taken off the rail, the receiving platform can be lowered to the appropriate position, facilitating the taking and placing of the inspection car. When the inspection car is working normally, the receiving platform can be raised to avoid the rail, leaving enough space for the operation of the inspection car. This ingenious space utilization method not only ensures the convenience of the inspection car upper and lower rail, but also does not affect the normal operation of other equipment and work in the tunnel, improves the utilization rate of the tunnel space, and reduces the mutual interference between equipment.

The track 102 is equipped with the pressing plate 103, as shown in Figure 2 And Figure 4 The pick-up and drop-off position represents that the tunnel inspection vehicle 101 on the pick-up and drop-off vehicle 200 on the receiving platform 100 is aligned with the track 102, and the tunnel inspection vehicle 101 can be pushed on the track 102. When the receiving platform 100 is lifted to the pick-up and drop-off position, the upper end of the press column 420 is in contact with the pressing plate 103 and is pressed to the contracted state, and during the reciprocating movement of the top plate 220 at the pick-up and drop-off position, the upper end of the press column 420 is always in contact with the pressing plate 103 and is in the contracted state. That is, when the top plate 220 reaches the pick-up and drop-off position, due to the action of the pressing plate 103 pressing the press column 420, the movable column 400 is in the contracted state, so that the front side of the top plate 220 is not blocked by the structure of the tunnel inspection vehicle 101 entering or leaving, so that through the lifting movement of the receiving platform 100 and the cooperation of the pressing plate 103 and the press column 420, when reaching the pick-up and drop-off position, the movable column 400 is automatically switched to the contracted state, and the pick-up and drop-off of the tunnel inspection vehicle 101 can be smoothly realized. As shown in Figure 3 The movable column 400 limits the front side of the tunnel inspection vehicle 101 during the lifting process of the receiving platform 100 and the pick-up and drop-off vehicle 200, so that its position is stable during the lifting process and will not fall or have positional deviation to cause structural interference and collision with the track 102. Since the upper end of the press column 420 is always in contact with the pressing plate 103 during the reciprocating movement of the top plate 220 at the pick-up and drop-off position, in order to reduce the frictional resistance, the upper end of the press column 420 is provided with a roller 421.
