Problems solved by technology

However, there are often bad weather such as wind, sand, rain and snow on the working site of wind turbines. Once a wind turbine fails, it will affect the power generation efficiency and the economic benefits of the power plant, and cause damage to the wind turbine and huge economic losses. Therefore, the wind turbine must be Year-round maintenance work
[0003] In order to reduce the downtime risk of wind turbines, wind power plants need to regularly inspect the wind turbine towers and blades every year. When the wind turbine equipment is accepted, it is also necessary to clean the wind turbine towers. At present, in my country, the detection of fan blades and the inspection of towers Cleaning generally adopts manual hoisting operations, crane operations, hoisting equipment operations and other maintenance methods, which have a series of problems such as low safety, high labor intensity, and low efficiency.
[0004] Climbing robots can replace manual climbing operations, and can install inspection, cleaning, and maintenance equipment to perform maintenance operations on operating objects, which can effectively solve the problems of safety, efficiency, and cost that exist in manual operations for wind turbine maintenance.

Embodiment 1

[0049] like figure 1 As shown, a crawler climbing type wind power tower cleaning and testing robot with a variable frame structure includes: a hexagonal frame composed of six sets of variable V-shaped corners 1, connected to variable V-shaped corners 1 and capable of adjusting the size of the frame Push-pull rod mechanism 2, six groups of main cleaning mechanisms 3 installed on the variable V-shaped corner 1 and six groups of tower tube permanent magnet crawler climbing mechanisms 4 installed on the variable V-shaped corner 1. The variable V-shaped mechanism 1 and the push-pull rod mechanism 2 form a variable-sized hexagon to adapt to the change of the diameter of the outer surface of the wind power tower. The hexagonal frame can change its side length to adapt to the wind tower. The diameter changes up and down; the permanent magnet crawler climbing mechanism 4 realizes the contact and compression of the tower through the deformation of the hexagonal frame, and drives the hex...

Abstract

The invention discloses a crawler climbing type cleaning detection robot with a variable framework structure for a wind power tower. The crawler climbing type cleaning detection robot comprises a variable V-shaped corner, a push-pull rod mechanism, a cleaning mechanism and a tower drum permanent magnet crawler climbing mechanism, wherein the variable V-shaped corner and the push-pull rod mechanism form a polygonal framework structure; the cleaning mechanism and the tower drum permanent magnet crawler climbing mechanism are uniformly distributed in the same direction or uniformly distributed and arranged on the variable V-shaped corner and / or the push-pull rod mechanism along the different directions relative to the polygonal framework structure; at least one part of the V-shaped corner is detachably and movably connected with the push-pull rod mechanism. According to the crawler climbing type cleaning detection robot disclosed by the invention, by using the modular polygonal variable framework structure, surrounding of a fan tower drum is realized; a climbing function of the framework is realized by mounting the permanent magnet crawler climbing mechanism arranged in the polygonal framework; meanwhile, cleaning of the fan tower drum and detection of fan blades are finished by the cleaning mechanism and an imaging mechanism which are arranged in the framework on the basis; the crawler climbing type cleaning detection robot is ideal robot equipment for maintaining a wind turbine generator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a robot maintenance operation equipment for fan tower cleaning and blade detection. Background technique [0002] As a renewable clean energy, wind power has been vigorously promoted by countries all over the world in recent years. The single-unit capacity of wind turbines is increasing year by year, and the maintenance of wind turbines, the cleaning of towers and the detection of fan blades are becoming more and more important. However, there are often bad weather such as wind, sand, rain and snow on the working site of wind turbines. Once a wind turbine fails, it will affect the power generation efficiency and the economic benefits of the power plant, and cause damage to the wind turbine and huge economic losses. Therefore, the wind turbine must be Carry out maintenance work all year round. [0003] In order to reduce the downtime risk of wind turbines, wind power plants need ...
