Problems solved by technology

However, there are still many problems in various wall-climbing robots, such as: negative pressure and vacuum adsorption methods are not limited by wall materials and have a wide range of applications.
However, when the wall surface is uneven, the suction cup is prone to excessive gas leakage, resulting in insufficient adsorption force, reducing the carrying capacity of the wall-climbing robot, and even causing the wall-climbing robot to fall from the wall; Must be magnetically permeable material
Although biped wall-climbing robots have strong ability to overcome obstacles, they have weak load-bearing capacity; rotor-type wall-climbing robots are not only difficult to control in direction, but also fail immediately after power disappears; although bionic adsorption (imitation gecko) have strong flexibility and small size, But their poor adsorption needs to be improved, so it is destined to have a small load,
[0005] Therefore, wall-climbing robot technology still has deficiencies in many aspects, especially technical problems such as unreliable adsorption, small motion torque, low load resistance capacity, and inflexible steering.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wall-climbing robot, in particular to a walking-type pneumatic wall-climbing robot. Background technique [0002] With the wide application and rapid development of various robots in various fields, the wall-climbing robot has attracted more and more attention as an automatic mechanical device that can replace manual limit operations on vertical walls. [0003] At present, various wall-climbing robots have been developed at home and abroad. The driving methods include motor drive and pneumatic drive. Generally, electric energy is used to provide energy, and the electric energy is converted into gas internal energy or mechanical energy through the motor. However, the rotation of the motor has certain mechanical noise and electromagnetic noise. In addition, for the wall-climbing robot driven by the motor, the motor not only has a large mass, which increases the mass of the robot, but also has a relatively small torque, low loa...
