Example Embodiment

[0031] Such as figure 1 , 2 As shown, the modularized bionic wall-climbing robot body has five degrees of freedom and is composed of five single-degree-of-freedom joint modules, and the two ends are respectively connected to the vacuum adsorption module 100, and there are seven modules in total. The modules are connected in series in sequence, the sequence is: first vacuum suction module S1-first I-type joint module I1-first T-type joint module T1-second T-type joint module T2-third T-type joint module T3- The second type I joint module I2-the second vacuum suction module S2. A joint sleeve 500 is inserted between the second and third T-shaped modules, so that the structure of the front and rear ends of the robot is symmetrical about the joint rotation axis of the second T-shaped module T2. The joint rotation axes of the three T-shaped joint modules 300 are parallel to each other and are naturally perpendicular to the joint axes of the I-shaped joint modules 200 at both ends. ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a modularized bionic wall climbing robot. The robot has five degrees of freedom and comprises joint modules and vacuum adsorption modules which are sequentially connected in series, wherein the connection mode is that: a first vacuum adsorption module, a first I-shaped joint module, a first T-shaped joint module, a second T-shaped joint module, a third T-shaped joint module, a second I-shaped joint module and a second vacuum adsorption module are connected in turn; rotating shafts of the three T-shaped joint modules are parallel to one another and perpendicular to the rotating shafts of the I-shaped joint modules at the two ends; and the modules are connected with clamping rings and positioned with four pins at the junctions and the possible relative rotation among the modules can be prevented. The two ends of the robot are symmetric and the head and the tail of the robot are replaceable. The robot has the advantages of easy construction, simple structure, high wall transition capacity and high obstacle-surmounting capacity and capability of climbing on a clean flat wall with inchworm gait, rotary gait, turnover type gait and the like in all directions and can be widely applied to the fields of building industry, nuclear industry, ship building industry and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, and is a modular bionic wall-climbing robot. Background technique [0002] Modern society has many jobs and tasks that are difficult and dangerous for human beings. For example, visual inspection and flaw detection of nuclear waste liquid storage tanks in the nuclear industry, giant wall spraying in the construction industry, cleaning of tiles or glass curtain walls of high-rise buildings, flaw detection and spraying of inner and outer hull surfaces in the shipbuilding industry, etc. This kind of work relies on humans to build scaffolding and climb up and down, which is not only inefficient and costly, but also a dangerous task. Therefore, wall-climbing robots that can replace humans to perform and engage in similar tasks have emerged at the historic moment. [0003] At present, a variety of wall-climbing robots have been developed at home and abroad, with different forms, different adsorption m...
