Therefore, all other embodiments of this application described herein, and all embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort based on the embodiments in this application, should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-3 A track-type inspection robot includes an inspection robot body 6 that moves along a track 3. The inspection robot body 6 is model XKCON-RTI-001. Guide wheel assemblies are provided on both sides of the inspection robot body 6 to enable horizontal movement of the inspection robot body 6. The guide wheel assembly includes a fixed seat 5, which is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the inspection robot body 6 by bolts and extends into the track 3. Connecting columns 11 are fixed to both sides of the fixed seat 5 by bolts. Slide grooves 10 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the track 3. Rollers 2 that roll along the slide grooves 10 are rotatably connected to the opposite ends of the two connecting columns 11 by bearings. When the inspection robot body 6 moves along the track 3, it will drive the fixed seat 5 to move, which will drive the connecting columns 11 to move, and the connecting columns 11 will drive the rollers 2 to roll along the slide grooves 10, so as to prevent the inspection robot body 6 from deviating when moving along the track 3 and to make the inspection robot body 6 move smoothly along the track 3.

[0023] In this invention, a connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to the top of the inspection robot body 6. A fixing block 13 is welded to the top of the connecting rod 9. A camera 7 is mounted on the top of the fixing block 13 and is electrically connected to the inspection robot body 6. Two insertion posts 22 are fixed to the bottom of the camera 7 by bolts. Two insertion holes 14 are opened on the top of the fixing block 13, and the two insertion posts 22 are respectively inserted into the two insertion holes 14. A cavity 17 is opened inside the fixing block 13, and a sliding rod 18 is slidably connected inside the cavity 17. Two limiting posts 19 are welded to one side of the sliding rod 18, and limiting holes 21 are opened on one side of each of the two insertion posts 22. The limiting posts 19 extend into the two insertion holes 14 and are inserted into the limiting holes 21. A pressing rod 20 extending out of the fixing block 13 is welded to one side of the sliding rod 18 between the two limiting posts 19. When disassembly is required, the sliding rod 18 is pushed along the cavity 17 by the pressing rod 20. The sliding rod 18 will drive the limiting posts 19 to move, so that the limiting posts 19 are disengaged from the limiting holes 21 on the insertion posts 22. At this time, the camera 7 can be removed from the fixing block 13, which facilitates the quick disassembly of the camera 7 and makes it easier for staff to inspect the camera 7.

[0024] In particular, the top of the inspection robot body 6 is equipped with an adjustment component for changing the angle of the camera 7. The adjustment component includes a geared motor, which is fixed to the top of the inspection robot body 6 by bolts. The geared motor is an RS775 model. One end of the output shaft of the geared motor is keyed to a second gear 12, and the outer side of the connecting rod 9 is keyed to a first gear 8. The second gear 12 meshes with the first gear 8. During the operation of the inspection robot body 6, the geared motor is started, which drives the second gear 12 to rotate. The second gear 12, through meshing with the first gear 8, drives the first gear 8 to rotate. The first gear 8 drives the connecting rod 9 to rotate, which drives the fixing block 13 to rotate. The fixing block 13 drives the camera 7 to rotate, thereby changing the angle of the camera 7. This makes it easier for the camera 7 to take pictures and inspect from different angles, improving the effectiveness of the inspection robot.

[0025] It should be noted that two return springs 15 are provided in the cavity 17. The two ends of the two return springs 15 are fixed to the slide rod 18 and the fixing block 13 respectively. Two slide pins 16 passing through the slide rod 18 are fixed in the cavity 17 by bolts. The two slide pins 16 pass through the two return springs 15 respectively. When the limiting pin 19 is inserted into the limiting hole 21, the return springs 15 will provide elastic support for the limiting pin 19, so that the limiting pin 19 will not easily detach from the limiting hole 21. The top of the inspection robot body 6 is fixed with a protective shell 1 by bolts, and the connecting rod 9 passes through the protective shell 1. Multiple heat dissipation holes are opened on both sides of the protective shell 1. The reduction motor, the first gear 8 and the second gear 12 are all located in the protective shell 1.

[0026] Working principle: When disassembly is required, the sliding rod 18 is moved along the cavity 17 by pressing the rod 20. The sliding rod 18 will drive the limiting post 19 to move, so that the limiting post 19 disengages from the limiting hole 21 on the insertion post 22. At this time, the camera 7 can be removed from the fixing block 13, which facilitates the quick disassembly of the camera 7 and makes it easier for staff to inspect the camera 7. During the operation of the inspection robot body 6, the reduction motor is started, which drives the second gear 12 to rotate. The second gear 12 meshes with the first gear 8, which drives the first gear 8 to rotate. The first gear 8 drives the connecting rod 9 to rotate, which drives the fixing block 13 to rotate. The fixing block 13 drives the camera 7 to rotate, thereby changing the angle of the camera 7, making it easier for the camera 7 to shoot inspections from different angles, thus improving the use effect of the inspection robot.
