Equipped with an advanced mobile platform, it can move flexibly in the complex terrain and narrow spaces of the utility tunnel, carrying out inspection work according to a preset route or autonomously planned path.

[0003] Currently, most existing utility tunnel inspection robots rely on dedicated robot tracks and power supply sliding contact lines to ensure stable operation and continuous power supply during practical applications. However, the brackets used to fix these two types of tracks have certain shortcomings. These brackets are relatively crude in manufacturing process, not only lacking in appearance but also having problems in structural design and quality control. Crude manufacturing may lead to insufficient strength of the brackets, making it difficult to withstand the pressure brought by the operation of the tracks and robots for a long time. This can easily result in loosening, deformation, and other issues, which in turn affect the normal operation of the inspection robot and pose potential hazards to the safe inspection of utility tunnels. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model is an installation support for the track of a pipe gallery inspection robot, including a track fixing component 1. A power supply sliding contact line fixing component 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the track fixing component 1. Both the track fixing component 1 and the power supply sliding contact line fixing component 2 are fixed under the external floor slab. The track fixing component 1 is fixed to the external robot track 4 with bolts inside. The power supply sliding contact line fixing component 2 is combined and fixed with the external power supply sliding contact line track 5.

[0031] This mounting bracket demonstrated outstanding performance in the installation of robot track 4 and power supply sliding contact line track 5, bringing great convenience and flexibility to the construction. It has a unique dual-track fixing function, which can firmly fix robot track 4 and power supply sliding contact line track 5 separately, ensuring that they do not interfere with each other and are stable and reliable during operation. The mounting bracket is fixed to the bottom of the floor slab with expansion bolts. This fixing method is not only strong and durable, but the installation position can also be adjusted at will according to actual needs. Before laying the track, the construction personnel can carefully plan the track route in advance, and then flexibly install any number of mounting brackets according to the planned route, which greatly improves construction efficiency and accuracy. It is worth mentioning that the mounting bracket itself has extremely high structural strength, which can withstand a large load while maximizing the freedom of installation. Whether it is a complex spatial layout or a special construction environment, it can easily cope with it, providing a solid guarantee for the safe and stable operation of robot track 4 and power supply sliding contact line track 5.

[0032] The track fixing component 1 includes a main support tube 11, with sheet-like support plates 12 fixedly connected to both ends of the main support tube 11. Each set of sheet-like support plates 12 is internally threaded with two sets of first expansion bolts 13. A first fixing plate 14 is welded to the top of the sheet-like support plate 12. Two sets of pins 15 are inserted into the first fixing plate 14. Two sets of threaded holes 16 are centrally located at the bottom of the main support tube 11.

[0033] The track fixing component 1 is fixed to the floor slab by tightening four sets of first expansion bolts 13 inside the external floor slab, and the track fixing component 1 is fixed to the robot track 4 by screwing the bolts into the robot track 4 and the threaded hole 16.

[0034] The power supply sliding contact line fixing component 2 includes a clamping support plate 21. A second fixing plate 22 is integrally formed and fixed at the top of the clamping support plate 21. A second expansion bolt 23 is threadedly connected inside the second fixing plate 22.

[0035] The power supply sliding contact wire fixing component 2 is fixed to the floor slab by tightening the second expansion bolt 23 inside the external floor slab, and the power supply sliding contact wire track 5 is assembled with the power supply sliding contact wire fixing component 2 by inserting it into the clamping support plate 21.

[0036] During installation, the first fixing plate 14 is attached to the floor slab, and the pins are inserted into the pre-drilled holes for pre-assembly. After confirming the position, the first expansion bolt 13 is screwed into the sheet support plate 12 and the floor slab to fix the track fixing component 1. Then, the opening reserved at the top of the external robot track 4 is aligned with the threaded hole 16, and the bolt is screwed into the threaded hole 16 to fix the robot track 4.

[0037] Subsequently, the second expansion bolt 23 is screwed into the second fixing plate 22 and the floor slab to fix the power supply sliding contact line fixing component 2. Then, the external power supply sliding contact line track 5 is slidably inserted into the clamping support plate 21. The plate below the clamping support plate 21 can support the power supply sliding contact line track 5, thereby fixing the power supply sliding contact line track 5.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the robot track 4 is installed on the main support pipe 11 only by bolts. However, the stability of fixing by bolts alone is poor. The entire weight of the robot track 4 is concentrated on the bolts, which can easily cause the bolts to strip during long-term use, thus affecting the stability of the installation. In order to solve this problem, this utility model also provides a snap-fit ​​mechanism 3 for fixing the robot track 4, transferring the load of the robot track 4 from the bolts to the snap-fit ​​mechanism 3, and ensuring the stability of the robot track 4 installation.

[0039] The locking mechanism 3 includes two sets of guide sleeves 35 that are slidably sleeved on the main support tube 11. The lower end of the guide sleeve 35 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped limiting plate 36 for locking the robot track 4.

[0040] The vertical plate of the limiting plate 36 is provided with a plate connection hole 37 for locking the robot track 4.

[0041] The snap-fit ​​mechanism 3 further includes a snap-fit ​​upright plate 31 fixedly mounted on the main support tube 11 and a guide slide plate 34 fixedly mounted on the guide sleeve 35. Guide posts 32 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the snap-fit ​​upright plate 31. The guide posts 32 are slidably connected to the guide slide plate 34. A snap-fit ​​spring 33 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide posts 32. The snap-fit ​​spring 33 is located between the snap-fit ​​upright plate 31 and the guide slide plate 34.

[0042] Specifically, the locking mechanism 3 includes a guide sleeve 35 slidably fitted onto the main support tube 11. An L-shaped limiting plate 36 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the guide sleeve 35 for locking the robot track 4. The vertical plate of the limiting plate 36 has a locking plate connection hole 37 for further locking the robot track 4. The locking plate 31, guide post 32, locking spring 33, and guide slide plate 34 form an elastic locking structure, ensuring the stability and load-bearing capacity of the robot track 4 during installation.

[0043] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
