[0056] Further optimization scheme, the first bowl-shaped negative pressure cavity 7 and the square negative pressure cavity 25 are respectively provided with an O-shaped sealing ring 22 at one end facing the wall surface.

[0057] The sealing ring 6 and the O-shaped sealing ring 22 are covered with PE foam 20, and the PE foam 20 is covered with Teflon fabric 21, so that the friction coefficient is small, the wear and movement resistance is reduced, not only the adsorption force is improved, but also the flexibility of the bottom structure is improved, so that it can work stably on different wall surfaces.

[0058] Further optimization scheme, the detection device comprises a temperature and humidity sensor 4 installed on the body, a depth camera 8 installed at one end of the body, and a camera module 11 installed at one end of the body away from the depth camera 8.

When adsorbing, the sealing coil 6 extrudes the spring 18, so that the sealing coil 6 and the track 15 can be attached to the wall surface at the same time.

[0070] When the MCU control board 5 judges that the obstacle needs to be overcome, the track 15 stops working, the first bowl-shaped negative pressure cavity 7 is controlled to fall to the wall surface on the other side of the obstacle through the obstacle driving arm 2 and completes the adsorption action, at the same time, the second bowl-shaped negative pressure cavity 26 stops working, the square negative pressure cavity 25 stops adsorbing the wall surface, the body is lifted through the obstacle driving arm 2, the body is rotated to the wall surface on the other side of the obstacle through the rotating base 9 and the servo motor 1 and the obstacle driving arm 2 is lowered, so that the body is attached to the wall surface again, then the second bowl-shaped negative pressure cavity 26 starts working again, so that the square negative pressure cavity 25 can adsorb the wall surface again, at this time, the first bowl-shaped negative pressure cavity 7 stops adsorbing and the obstacle driving arm 2 is lifted, the obstacle overcoming work is completed, then the track 15 is started again to drive the body to move along the wall surface.

[0071] When the MCU control board 5 judges that the obstacle needs to be avoided, each driving motor 16 is controlled to work through the MCU control board 5, so that each track 15 realizes the steering function through differential.
