[0002] In rail transit systems, the track structure, as the main structure directly supporting the trains above, is crucial for ensuring line safety due to its stable and reliable service condition, requiring regular inspections. Because track inspection work involves short maintenance windows and complex tasks, resulting in high workloads for staff, there are significant constraints on the portability and overall weight of track inspection equipment.

[0003] Currently, track inspection is developing towards intelligence and automation, and automated inspection equipment such as track inspection trolleys and track inspection robots have emerged, which can improve the level of inspection to a certain extent. In the daily maintenance and inspection of track structures, sensors, as the core components of the perception layer, need to be deployed quickly to detect and collect various data.

[0004] Currently, common sensor mounting methods on the market include bolt mounting, adhesive mounting, or magnetic mounting. Among these, bolt mounting offers good stability and reliability, but it requires additional tools for installation and disassembly, making the operation cumbersome and inconvenient. Furthermore, because measurement is involved, there are specific requirements for the sensor's mounting height, angle, reliability, and installation accuracy. Summary of the Invention
