The invention discloses a light high-strength intelligent detection 
robot for bridge cable appearance and cable force detection. The light high-strength intelligent detection 
robot comprises a main frame, a 
crawling mechanism, a camera, an end induction sensor and a cable 
force sensor mechanism. And the cable 
force sensor mechanism is arranged, so that the cable 
force sensor can be accurately controlled to be tightly attached to the inhaul cable, and the cable force of the bridge inhaul cable can be accurately collected. 
Wireless communication is adopted between the cable climbing 
robot equipment and the 
control system, 
remote control is achieved, appearance diseases of the bridge inhaul cable are shot through a camera, the distance of the cable climbing robot is collected through a distance 
encoder, the distance is updated in time in images, the diseases and defects are visually displayed, and after detection is finished, detection personnel can conveniently detect the bridge inhaul cable through 
video image data. And the 
disease appearance is demonstrated and repaired in time. The cable climbing robot equipment has the characteristics of high detection efficiency, multiple detection parameters, high reliability, low 
energy consumption, low use and maintenance cost and the like, and can adapt to cable strut appearance and cable force detection of various cable-stayed bridges, cable bridges and arch bridges in China.
