A drive motor 13 is provided on the base frame 11, and the output shaft of the drive motor 13 is connected to the central shaft of the moving wheels 12. A support plate 3 is provided on the base frame 11.

[0041] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the support plate 3 is equipped with a reversing device 4 for adjusting the flaw detection angle of the flaw detection device 2.
