[0005] The following are further improvements to the above technical solution:

[0006] 1. In the above scheme, the housing is further provided with a sliding block embedded in the sliding groove, a rotating column installed on the sliding block is in force contact with the second transmission belt, and a first spring located in the sliding groove is connected to the sliding block.

[0007] 2. In the above scheme, the rotating column is in contact with the upper part of the second conveyor belt.

[0008] 3. In the above scheme, a guide plate is provided at intervals on both sides of the first transmission belt.

[0009] 4. In the above scheme, a third spring is fitted on the positioning rod, and this third spring is located between the lower support rod and a limiting clamp.

[0010] 5. In the above scheme, one end of the telescopic rod embedded in the through hole of the support rod is located outside the lower support rod, and the other end is located inside the lower support rod. A second spring is fitted between the end located inside the lower support rod and the lower support rod.

[0011] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0012] 1. This utility model relates to a power line inspection robot, which has an arc-shaped shell between its upper support rods. Two transmission rollers located at both ends inside the arc-shaped shell are connected by a first transmission belt. The outer surface of the first transmission belt has a brush. The lower surface of the arc-shaped shell has a hollow area for the brush to be exposed. A second sprocket is connected to the transmission rollers through a pair of bevel gears. The first sprocket on the output shaft of the motor is connected to the second sprocket through a second transmission belt. Based on the captured image information, the robot helps to identify the area that needs to be cleaned. The brush outside the transmission belt is driven by the motor to clean the outside of the power transmission line, thus avoiding the adverse effects of impurities on the line.

[0013] 2. The utility model of the power line inspection robot is further provided with a sliding block embedded in a groove on its shell. A rotating column installed on the sliding block is in abutting contact with the second transmission belt. A first spring located in the groove is connected to the sliding block. This ensures that the second transmission belt is always at a suitable tension, ensuring the reliability of the cleaning work. In addition, a guide plate is provided at intervals on both sides of the first transmission belt to avoid the brush from shaking and improve the cleanliness of the cleaning.
