The present invention discloses a structure of a ship flight deck metal foreign object cleaning robot based on electromagnetic adsorption. The structure of the metal foreign object cleaning robot includes a vehicle body, a driving system, a cleaning system, and a foreign object storage box. The vehicle body is a box structure with upper and lower layers separated by a horizontally arranged partition plate. The top of the box structure is uncovered, and the driving system and the cleaning system are arranged in the lower part of the box structure. By using the principle of electromagnetic adsorption, an electromagnetic solenoid array is evenly distributed on a circumferentially rotating sprocket. The stroke of the electromagnetic solenoid is divided into a conductive area and an insulating area. The adsorption and desorption of metal foreign objects are realized by means of physical segmentation. A foreign object storage box is arranged below the metal foreign object desorption area. With the continuous progress of the sprocket drive, the cleaning process is also continuous. The adsorption and collection functions are relatively independent. The cleaning process of metal foreign objects is coherent, coordinated, and orderly, so that the cleaning effect and efficiency of the metal foreign object cleaning robot are improved.
