When the scissor-type lifting frame 507 rises and falls, the height of the lifting connecting plate 510 can be adjusted so that the detector 6 can detect the electrical appliances in the machine room from top to bottom when in use.

[0035] Furthermore, the drive motor 502 is connected to the controller 7 via wires in an electrical connection manner, and the operation of the drive motor 502 can be controlled by the controller 7.

[0037] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When using the anti-collision computer room inspection robot, when the guide wheel 403 on the side wall of the arc-shaped connecting plate 402 collides with an object, the shock absorber 401 can buffer the entire device. At the moment of collision between the guide wheel 403 on the side wall of the arc-shaped connecting plate 402 and the object, the spring in the shock absorber 401 will be compressed. At this time, the connecting push rod 406 can drive the connecting push rod 407 to move forward. When the connecting push rod 407 moves forward, the connecting slider 408 drives the V-shaped rotating rod 409 to rotate around the limiting bracket 410 as the axis. When the V-shaped rotating rod 409 rotates, it drives the electrical contact head 411 and the electrical contact seat 412 to make contact with each other. After the electrical contact head 411 and the electrical contact seat 412 make contact with each other, the steerable drive wheel 2 can be braked in an emergency to prevent secondary impact, reduce damage to the device, and improve the service life of the device.

[0038] The controller 7 controls the operation of the drive motor 502. When the drive end of the drive motor 502 rotates, it drives the rotating screw 503 to rotate. When the rotating screw 503 rotates, it drives the scissor-type lifting frame 507 to rise and fall through the moving slide plate 504, the fixed slide bar 505, and the connecting slide plate 506. When the scissor-type lifting frame 507 rises and falls, the height of the lifting connecting plate 510 can be adjusted, so that the detector 6 can be used to detect electrical appliances in the machine room from top to bottom, making the device more convenient to use.
