Figure 1The structure diagram of the positioning detection of the gimbal lifting mechanism is shown in the figure. The gimbal lifting mechanism is fixed on the track 1 through the base 3. The gimbal lifting mechanism, the gimbal 7 and the sensor cannot move along the track 1, and the height of the gimbal 7 and the sensor can only be controlled by changing the state of the cantilever.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that:

[0025] The first cantilever includes a first arm driving wheel 16 and a first arm driven wheel 13 connected by transmission, the second cantilever includes a second arm driving wheel 12 and a second arm driven wheel 10 connected by transmission, the third cantilever includes a third arm driving wheel 14 and a third arm driven wheel 15 connected by transmission, the shaft of the first arm driven wheel 13 and the second arm driving wheel 12 are connected by a reversing transmission assembly 17, the shaft of the second arm driven wheel 10 and the third arm driving wheel 14 are connected by a reversing transmission assembly 17, and the shaft of the third arm driven wheel 15 and the gimbal shaft 18 of the gimbal 7 are connected by a reversing transmission assembly 17.

One gear of the reversing transmission assembly 17 of the third cantilever is installed on the shaft of the third arm driven wheel 15, and the other gear is installed on the gimbal shaft 8 of the gimbal 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, the reversing transmission assembly 17 includes a wheel support seat with a groove, one gear of the reversing transmission assembly 17 is installed in the groove of the wheel support seat and is coaxial with the corresponding driven wheel. Specifically, the groove gear of the reversing transmission assembly 17 of the first cantilever is coaxial with the first arm driven wheel 13, the groove gear of the reversing transmission assembly 17 of the second cantilever is coaxial with the second arm driven wheel 10, and the groove gear of the reversing transmission assembly 17 of the third cantilever is coaxial with the third arm driven wheel 15.

[0028] It also includes a driving assembly, which includes a driving motor 2 installed on the base 3, a driving motor 2 installed on the output shaft of the driving motor 2, and a driving motor 2 installed on the output shaft of the driving motor 2. The driving motor 2 is connected with the main transmission wheel 9 by transmission. The shaft end of the first arm driving wheel 16 is provided with a main transmission wheel 9 connected with the main transmission wheel 9 by transmission.

[0029] In this embodiment, the driving wheel 8 and the main transmission wheel 9 are pulleys and are connected by synchronous belt transmission; the primary arm driving wheel 16 and the primary arm driven wheel 13 are pulleys and are connected by synchronous belt transmission; the secondary arm driving wheel 12 and the secondary arm driven wheel 10 are pulleys and are connected by synchronous belt transmission; the tertiary arm driving wheel 14 and the tertiary arm driven wheel 15 are pulleys and are connected by synchronous belt transmission.

[0030] In order to ensure the tensioning effect of the synchronous belt of each cantilever and ensure the reliability of the transmission, in this embodiment, the primary cantilever, the secondary cantilever and the tertiary cantilever are each provided with a tensioner 11. The tensioner 11 includes a support fixedly installed on a wheel support seat of the reversing transmission assembly 17 of the cantilever, and a cylindrical tensioning block adjustably installed on the support and pressing on the synchronous belt between the driving wheel and the driven wheel of the cantilever. As shown in detail in Figure 4 the support is fixedly installed on the rear part of the wheel support seat of the reversing transmission assembly 17, and three threaded connection holes arranged in a triangle are provided on the support. The tensioning block is located on the outside of an adjusting plate, and three strip-shaped holes arranged in a triangle are provided on the adjusting plate at corresponding positions. The adjusting plate is fixedly connected with the support by screws located in the three sets of strip-shaped holes and threaded connection holes.

The cantilever shell encapsulates the internal components of each cantilever, avoiding the entry of foreign matter into the interior to cause transmission jamming problems, and at the same time, the cantilever shell also has the effect of improving the appearance neatness and aesthetic appearance.

[0033] In this embodiment, the base 3 includes a portal-shaped base, with two opposing supports on both sides of the top of the portal-shaped base and the drive motor 2 located between these two supports. A bearing seat is provided at the end of the portal-shaped base, and the shaft of the active drive wheel 8 is located within the bearing seat. A base plate with mounting holes is provided between the tops of the two supports. (The text then abruptly shifts to a seemingly unrelated topic: towards the bottom of the robot body or...)

[0034] In this embodiment, the gimbal 7 includes a gimbal plate, with connecting plates at both ends of the gimbal plate and the tops of these two connecting plates being fixedly connected to the two shaft ends of the gimbal axis 18. Protective baffles are also installed on both sides of the gimbal plate. Inspection / detection sensors are installed and fixed on the gimbal plate, and the protective baffles prevent foreign objects from entering the internal space of the gimbal 7.

[0035] Operating method:

[0037] When it is necessary to control the gimbal 7 and its sensors to move downwards, the drive motor 2 drives the drive wheel 9 to rotate clockwise as shown in the figure through the drive wheel 8. Then the first-stage cantilever swings clockwise, the second-stage cantilever swings counterclockwise, and the third-stage cantilever swings clockwise. The cantilever extends further downwards, and the height of the gimbal 7 and its sensors decreases. During this process, the first-stage cantilever and the third-stage cantilever remain parallel, and the gimbal 7 maintains its posture during the downward movement.

[0038] Conversely, when the gimbal 7 and its sensors are to be moved upward, the drive motor 2 drives the drive wheel 9 to rotate counterclockwise as shown in the figure through the drive wheel 8. Then the first-stage cantilever swings counterclockwise, the second-stage cantilever swings clockwise, and the third-stage cantilever swings counterclockwise. The cantilever further retracts upward, and the height of the gimbal 7 and its sensors increases. During this process, the first-stage and third-stage cantilever remain parallel, and the gimbal 7 maintains its posture during the upward movement.
