1. An in-situ detection robot for loess geological information, comprising:
a housing having a first housing member (1) and a second housing member (5) connected to the first housing member (1), each of the first housing member (1) and the second housing member (5) being provided with a track; and
a tensioning system configured to provide the robot with a tensioning force in an aperture direction of a loess hole for the robot to travel in the loess hole, and comprising an active tensioning system,
wherein the active tensioning system comprises:
a tensioning motor (12), the tensioning motor (12) being located inside the housing, the tensioning motor (12) being connected to a driving camshaft (8), and the tensioning motor (12) being configured to provide a driving force for the active tensioning system;
the driving camshaft (8), configured to support a driving cam group and transmit a driving force from the tensioning motor (12);
the driving cam group, configured to transmit the driving force from the driving camshaft (8) to at least one driven cam group;
the at least one driven cam group, configured to convert the driving force from the driving cam group into a tensioning force of the track in the aperture direction of the loess hole; and
at least one connection base frame (2), configured to support the track and provides vibration damping and resetting.
