[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0031] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0032] Specifically, it refers to a flaw detection component for a wall-climbing robot, see [link / reference]. Figure 1 The system includes a connecting part 1 for connecting to a robot. A protective part 2 is provided on one side of the connecting part 1, which connects the connecting part 1 and the roller shaft 3 and provides protection for the flaw detection sensor 4. Multiple sets of roller shafts 3 are provided on the side of the protective part 2 away from the connecting part 1. The roller shafts 3 are connected to the flaw detection sensor 4. Multiple sets of flaw detection sensors 4 are provided on the outer wall of the roller shaft 3. An ultrasonic sensor is provided inside the flaw detection sensor 4 and is fixedly connected to the roller shaft 3. A dry coupling roller is provided on the outside of the flaw detection sensor 4 and is rotatably connected to the roller shaft 3. The flaw detection sensor 4 is used to detect whether there are cracks in the tank. The distance between the multiple sets of roller shafts 3 is greater than the diameter of the dry coupling roller of the flaw detection sensor 4. The multiple sets of flaw detection sensors 4 can be arranged in parallel or staggered on the front and rear sets of roller shafts 3. When arranged in parallel, repeated detection can be performed to improve detection quality and reduce the probability of detection errors. When arranged in staggered, detection efficiency can be improved.

[0033] See Figure 2 The connecting part 1 includes a robot connecting rod 11. A sensor frame connecting rod 12 is provided on the side of the robot connecting rod 11 near the protective part 2. The robot connecting rod 11 and the sensor frame connecting rod 12 form a T-shaped structure. Multiple sets of fixing through holes 13 are opened through the top of the sensor frame connecting rod 12. The connecting part 1 can be placed inside or outside the robot. When the connecting part 1 is placed inside the robot, the signal transmission distance can be shortened, the response time can be reduced, and the detection accuracy can be improved. When the connecting part 1 is placed outside the robot, the through holes are opened on the robot connecting rod 11 to connect with the robot, which can lengthen the connection distance between the device and the robot and reduce the possibility of mutual interference.

[0034] See Figures 3-4The protection part 2 includes a top guard plate 21 arranged close to the connecting part 1, two side guard plates 22 arranged symmetrically on both sides of the top guard plate 21, and end edges 221 arranged on the side away from the top guard plate 21 of the side guard plates 22. Two groups of side guard plates 22 are arranged close to the connecting part 1 and have a front guard plate 23. The two groups of side guard plates 22 and the front guard plate 23 form a semi-enclosed opening area 27, and the two groups of end edges 221 define the opening area 27. The flaw detection sensor 4 is arranged inside the opening area 27. The semi-enclosed opening area 27 reduces the use of materials and lowers the production cost. The top guard plate 21 is arranged close to the connecting part 1 and has a plurality of hanging ears 24, the number of which is consistent with the number of the plurality of fixing holes 13. The top end of the hanging ear 24 penetrates and has a hanging ear hole 26, which is adapted to the shape of the fixing hole 13. The side guard plate 22 penetrates and has a plurality of shaft pin holes 25 on the side away from the opening area 27, the number of which is consistent with the number of the plurality of roller shafts 3. The roller shaft 3 is fixedly connected with the shaft pin hole 25. The side guard plate 22 includes a first connecting area 222, a second connecting area 223, and a third connecting area 224. The first connecting area 222 is arranged close to the front guard plate 23 and is fixedly connected with the top guard plate 21. The second connecting area 223 is arranged on the side away from the front guard plate 23 of the first connecting area 222. The third connecting area 224 connects the first connecting area 222 and the second connecting area 223. The first connecting area 222, the second connecting area 223, and the third connecting area 224 are integrally formed. The first connecting area 222 is arranged higher than the second connecting area 223. The third connecting area 224 has a slope surface, the high point of which is connected with the first connecting area 222, and the low point of which is connected with the second connecting area 223.

[0035] Specifically, the device is installed at the tail of the robot in the direction of travel, connected by bolts or pins. If the connecting part 1 is installed inside the robot, it can be quickly disassembled through the fixing hole 13 and the hanging ear hole 26. If the connecting part 1 is installed outside the robot, it can be quickly disassembled through the hole on the connecting rod 11 of the robot. Both installation methods can achieve quick and convenient disassembly. The front guard plate 23 is arranged at the back of the robot. If there is a sharp protrusion on the surface of the tank, but the height of the robot chassis is higher than that of the roller shaft 3, the front guard plate 23 can prevent the robot from moving forward and avoid damaging the roller shaft 3, thereby improving the safety performance of the device. The slope surface of the third connecting area 224 strengthens the connection between the top guard plate 21, the first connecting area 222, and the second connecting area 223, reduces the stress concentration on the second connecting area 223, and improves the service life of the side guard plate 22 by dispersing stress.

[0036] Obviously, the above-described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the protection scope of the present application.
