When the lifting mechanism 300 is lifted, the driving mechanism 4 drives the transmission screw rod 3 to rotate on the base 1, and when the transmission screw rod 3 rotates, the first screw rod nut 6 sleeved on the transmission screw rod 3 moves along the axis direction of the transmission screw rod 3, so as to drive the movable rod assembly 310 connected with the first screw rod nut 6 to move along the axis direction of the transmission screw rod 3, and the movable rod assembly 310 is extended (or retracted) out of the first sleeve 2.

Further, referring to fig. 3-4 and 6-7, as another embodiment of the inspection robot provided by the present application, the movable rod assembly 310 includes a second sleeve 5 disposed in the first sleeve 2 and connected to the first lead screw nut 6, and a third sleeve 8 disposed in the second sleeve 5; the inspection robot further comprises a hollow screw rod 7 which is sleeved outside the transmission screw rod 3 and is positioned in the second sleeve 5, and a second screw rod nut 9 which is arranged on the hollow screw rod 7 and is connected with the third sleeve 8; the hollow screw rod 7 is rotatably arranged on the second sleeve 5, a spline groove 701 is formed in the inner wall of the hollow screw rod 7, and a spline shaft 10 is arranged at one end, far away from the base 1, of the transmission screw rod 3; spline shaft 10 is provided with spline projection 1001 inserted into spline groove 701. Because the spline shaft 10 is arranged between the transmission screw rod 3 and the hollow screw rod 7, when the transmission screw rod 3 rotates, the hollow screw rod 7 is driven to rotate relative to the second sleeve 5 through the spline shaft 10 (when the hollow screw rod 7 rotates relative to the second sleeve 5, the hollow screw rod 7 also synchronously moves along the axis direction of the transmission screw rod 3 along with the second sleeve 5), when the hollow screw rod 7 rotates, the second screw rod nut 9 sleeved on the hollow screw rod 7 moves along the axis direction of the hollow screw rod 7, and then the third sleeve 8 connected with the second screw rod nut 9 is driven to move along the axis direction of the hollow screw rod 7, so that the third sleeve 8 stretches out (or retracts) into the second sleeve 5, and the stretching of the lifting mechanism 300 is completed.

Further, please refer to fig. 4 and 6, due to the functions of the transmission screw rod 3, the hollow screw rod 7 and the spline shaft 10, the transmission screw rod 3 drives the hollow screw rod 7 to rotate through the spline shaft 10 when rotating, and further drives the second sleeve 5 and the third sleeve 8 to do telescopic motion, so the telescopic stroke of the lifting mechanism 300 is the sum of the lengths of the second sleeve 5 and the third sleeve 8, under the condition of the same telescopic stroke, the length of the first sleeve 2 and the lengths of the second sleeve 5 and the third sleeve 8 arranged in the first sleeve 2 can be small enough, compared with the traditional two-section lifting rod (the length of the extended rod is the telescopic stroke), the whole length of the lifting mechanism 300 is effectively reduced, and the requirement of the inspection robot for miniaturization is met.

It will be appreciated that a fourth and fifth sleeve … … may also be provided for the same telescopic stroke. Only a plurality of hollow screw rods 7 need to be continuously arranged, spline shafts 10 are arranged between the adjacent hollow screw rods 7, and then a theoretical infinite plurality of sleeves are integrated on one lifting mechanism 300, so that the length of the lifting mechanism 300 is infinitely shortened.

Further, please refer to fig. 8, as another specific embodiment of the inspection robot provided in the present application, a first connection portion 37 is disposed in the first sleeve 2, a guide pulley 36 is mounted at one end of the second sleeve 5 close to the base 1, and a second connection portion 38 is disposed at a distal end of the third sleeve 8 far from the base 1; the inspection robot also comprises a wire 39 which is fixedly connected with the first connecting part 37 and the second connecting part 38 and is wound on the guide pulley 36; the contact portion of the wire 39 with the guide pulley 36 is located between the first connecting portion 37 and the second connecting portion 38. The wire 39 is used for data or electrical connection with components such as the inspection camera unit 29.

As shown in fig. 10, when the lifting mechanism 300 is extended: because the wire 39 is fixedly connected with the first sleeve 2 and the second sleeve 5 at the first connecting portion 37 and the second connecting portion 38, respectively, the wire 39 is wound on the guide pulley 36, and the contact portion of the wire 39 and the guide pulley 36 is located between the positions where the wire 39 is connected with the first connecting portion 37 and the second connecting portion 38, the second sleeve 5 moves to extend out of the first sleeve 2, and the wire 39 is forced by the second connecting portion 38 to slide relative to the guide pulley 36 so as to elongate the wire 39 (the length of the wire 39 connected between the first connecting portion 37 and the second connecting portion 38 is not changed, and the elongation is defined as releasing the original folding state to achieve elongation), at this time, the guide pulley 36 is equivalent to a fixed pulley; due to the guiding effect of the guide pulley 36, the wire 39 is not easy to contact and rub other structures inside the lifting rod when being elongated, so that abnormal abrasion is avoided, the wire 39 is not easy to damage, and the service life of the lifting mechanism 300 is prolonged.

As shown in fig. 9, when the lifting mechanism 300 is retracted, the movable rod assembly 310 performs a movement of retracting the first sleeve 2; at this time, since the wire 39 is fixedly connected to the first connecting portion 37, the guide pulley 36 slides relative to the guide pulley 36 to fold the wire 39 in the first sleeve 2 along with the wire 39 sliding along the guide pulley 36 when the second sleeve 5 retracts into the first sleeve 2, and the guide pulley 36 is equivalent to a fixed pulley; due to the guiding function of the guiding pulley 36, the wire 39 is folded along a predetermined path when being folded, and is not easy to be accumulated at a certain position (the wire is easy to be crushed by the inner wall of the first sleeve 2 and the moving second sleeve 5 when being accumulated at a certain position due to the large volume, and the lifting rod is easy to be pulled to be broken when being extended), and is not easy to be worn or broken.

Therefore, the lifting mechanism 300 with the guide pulley 36 is provided, the track of the wire 39 moving inside the lifting rod is clear and determined when the wire is extended and contracted, the wire is not easy to contact with other structures, the friction is effectively avoided, the wire is not easy to be interfered by other structures, the use stability is high, the wire 39 is not easy to be damaged, and the service life of the lifting mechanism 300 is further prolonged.

The first sleeve 2 is provided with a third connecting part 42, the third connecting part 42 is positioned at one end of the first sleeve 2 close to the base 1, and the first connecting part 37 is positioned at one end of the first sleeve 2 far away from the base 1; the wire 39 is fixedly connected to the first connecting portion 37. The portion of the wire 39 located in the first sleeve 2 is fixedly installed between the first connecting portion 37 and the third connecting portion 42, and the third connecting portion 42 can also be used as a wire inlet end of the wire 39 entering the first sleeve 2.

Further, referring to fig. 11-12, as another embodiment of the inspection robot provided by the present application, a mounting shaft 40 is disposed on the second sleeve 5, and the guide pulley 36 is rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft 40, so that when the wire 39 moves relative to the guide pulley 36, the guide pulley 36 itself also rotates relative to the mounting shaft 40, and rolling friction is generated between the wire 39 and the guide pulley 36, so that the wire 39 moves more smoothly, the wire 39 is effectively prevented from being jammed, and the service lives of the wire 39 and the lifting mechanism 300 are prolonged. Since the wire 39 is positioned in the stopper groove 3601 formed in the side surface of the guide pulley 36, when the wire 39 moves relative to the side surface of the guide pulley 36, the inner side wall of the stopper groove 3601 can restrict the movement of the wire 39 in the axial direction of the guide pulley 36, thereby preventing the wire 39 from being separated from the guide pulley 36. The depth of the retaining groove 3601 gradually increases in a direction away from the second sleeve 5.

Further, referring to fig. 11 to 12, as another embodiment of the inspection robot provided by the present application, a protective cover 41 covering the outside of the guide pulley 36 is further included; the surface of one side of the protective cover 41 far away from the base 1 is provided with a wire outlet notch 4103; the protective cover 41 can further prevent the wire 39 from contacting other structures in the lifting mechanism 300, avoid the friction between the wire 39 and other structures, and prolong the service life. The shield 41 includes an end stop 4101 coupled to an end of the mounting shaft 40 remote from the second sleeve 5, and an arcuate stop 4102 coupled to the end stop 4101; the curved baffle 4102 is positioned between the end baffle 4101 and the second sleeve 5; the arc-shaped flapper 4102 has a gap with the side surface of the guide pulley 36. The end surface blocking plate 4101 can protect the wire 39 from the end surface direction of the guide pulley 36, and prevent the wire 39 from being affected by the direction structure in the elevating mechanism 300. The arc-shaped barriers 4102 can provide isolation protection to the side surfaces of the guide pulley 36 to prevent the directional structure in the elevating mechanism 300 from affecting the wire 39.
