Embodiment 3

[0056] A method for installing a claw wheel of a claw-type wall-climbing machine, comprising the following steps: installing the claws in the pipeline of the claw wheel, and then adhering the pipeline to the groove of the claw.

[0057] At present, claws are generally installed directly in the grooves of the claws. The installation efficiency is extremely low, and it takes about 5 minutes for a single claw. At the same time, due to the limited contact area between the fixing glue and the claws, the claws are very easy to loosen and fall off.

[0058] In this method, the claws are installed in the pipeline of the claw wheel, and then the pipeline is bonded to the groove of the claws. The bonding strength is five times that of the method of directly installing the claws, and the installation efficiency is 5 per minute.

Abstract

The invention discloses a traveling mechanism of a claw-thorn wall climbing robot and relates to the technical field of robots. The traveling mechanism comprises a chassis for supporting and fixing, two main movement steering engines and two switching steering engines are arranged on the chassis diagonally, the main movement steering engines are used for driving a first crawling mechanism and a second crawling mechanism to realize wall climbing of the robot, the switching steering engines are used for switching the first crawling mechanism or the second crawling mechanism to execute wall climbing action, and the first crawling mechanism and the second crawling mechanism are used for climbing in smooth and rough wall environments respectively. The switching steering engines are used for switching the first crawling mechanism or the second crawling mechanism to execute wall climbing action so as to respectively realize climbing of the robot on smooth and rough walls, and the second crawling mechanism firmly grasps the rough walls through a claw thorn wheel with claw thorns and a claw thorn track to realize climbing on the rough walls. The traveling mechanism is simple and reliable instructure, high in automation level and especially suitable for executing cleaning, detecting and rescue tasks in special environments with steep walls and narrow space.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a walking mechanism for a wall-climbing robot. Background technique [0002] A robot is a machine device that performs work automatically. It can accept human command, run pre-programmed programs, and act according to principles formulated with artificial intelligence technology. Robots are widely used in the production industry, construction industry and other fields, and are especially commonly used to assist or replace humans in dangerous operations or in areas that humans cannot reach. [0003] A wall-climbing robot is a common type of robot that can climb and complete tasks on vertical walls. Wall-climbing robots are usually adhered by means of vacuum chucks, magnets, and common adhesive materials. However, most of the walls in nature and human living environment are rough, porous, cracked and full of dust (such as stone, cement, brick exterior walls), and these three adhe...
