Abstract
Claims
1. A cable trench inspection robot, characterized by: The device includes a self-propelled chassis capable of moving within a cable trench. A thermal imaging module is mounted on the chassis, enabling it to capture thermal images of the cables within the trench. The chassis has an internal air chamber that allows it to float on water. A forward-propelling propeller and a forward-pushing motor are located at the rear of the chassis. The propeller's rotation propels the chassis forward in the water. The forward-pushing motor is connected to the propeller and provides power for its rotation.
2. The cable trench inspection robot of claim 1, wherein: The bottom of the walking chassis is equipped with tracks, drive wheels and a walking motor. The tracks are fitted onto several drive wheels. The rotation of the drive wheels can drive the tracks to rotate, thereby enabling the walking chassis to move. The walking motor is connected to the drive wheels and can provide power for the rotation of the drive wheels.
3. The cable chase inspection robot of claim 1, wherein: The rear end of the walking chassis is also equipped with an upward propeller and an upward motor. The rotation of the upward propeller can push the walking chassis to move upward in the water. The upward motor is connected to the upward propeller and can provide power for the rotation of the upward propeller.
4. The cable trench inspection robot according to claim 1, characterized in that: The chassis is equipped with a first camera module, which is capable of taking pictures inside the cable trench.
5. The cable chase inspection robot of claim 4, wherein: The chassis is equipped with a lifting support arm, and the first camera module and the thermal imaging module are both located at the first end of the lifting support arm. The lifting support arm can drive the first camera module and the thermal imaging module to rise or fall.
6. The cable chase inspection robot of claim 5, wherein: The top surface of the chassis has a receiving groove, and the lifting support arm is a folding lifting mechanism. The lifting support arm can be folded and placed into the receiving groove. The first end of the lifting support arm has a storage groove. The first camera module and the thermal imaging module are hinged to the first end of the lifting support arm, and the first camera module and the thermal imaging module can be placed into the storage groove.
7. The cable chase inspection robot of claim 6, wherein: The lifting support arm includes a mounting base, a first support rod, a second support rod, a first motor, a second motor, and a third motor. The mounting base is fixedly mounted on the chassis. The first end of the first support rod is hinged to the mounting base, the second end of the first support rod is hinged to the first end of the second support rod, and the second end of the second support rod is hinged to the first camera module and the thermal imaging module. The first motor is located at the connection between the mounting base and the first end of the first support rod, and the first motor can drive the first end of the first support rod to rotate around the mounting base. The second motor is located at the connection between the second end of the first support rod and the first end of the second support rod, and the second motor can drive the first end of the second support rod to rotate around the second end of the first support rod. The third motor is located at the connection between the second end of the second support rod and the first camera module and the thermal imaging module, and the third motor can drive the first camera module and the thermal imaging module to rotate around the second end of the second support rod.
8. The cable chase inspection robot of claim 5, wherein: The front end of the walking chassis is fixedly equipped with a second camera module and a lighting lamp. The second camera module can take pictures in the cable trench, and the lighting lamp can illuminate the cable trench.
9. The cable tray inspection robot of claim 1, wherein: The front end of the walking chassis is fixedly equipped with a toxic and harmful gas detection device.
10. The cable tray inspection robot of claim 1, wherein: A communication antenna is fixedly installed on the top surface of the chassis, and a controller and a battery pack are fixedly installed inside the chassis.
