摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inspection vehicle including an inspection camera.SOLUTION: An inspection vehicle includes a front chassis having two independently driven magnetic wheels; a rear chassis having two independently driven magnetic wheels; and a connecting member flexibly connecting the front chassis to the rear chassis to permit relative motion between the front chassis and the rear chassis. The connecting member, front chassis, and rear chassis collectively define a receiving area. The inspection vehicle also includes an inspection camera assembly including a rotatable arm driven by a first motor and an inspection camera driven by a motor other than the first motor and rotatably disposed on a distal portion of the rotatable arm. The inspection camera assembly is dimensioned to be received within the receiving area in a stored position.
