Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wall climbing operations, and in particular to a wall climbing robot. Background Art

[0002] Over the course of long-term use, ships are subject to corrosion from seawater and wind, necessitating regular hull inspection and maintenance. Traditionally, this is performed while the ship is docked at a port or dockyard. Inspectors and construction workers, standing atop aerial vehicles over ten meters high or on scaffolding, use probes to inspect the hull and shin plates, or use high-pressure water jets or spray guns to remove rust and apply paint. This traditional method is inefficient and highly risky, prompting the development of robotic wall-climbing systems.

[0033] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0034] When inspecting and performing construction work on the surface of a ship, robots often face situations where the two working surfaces meet at large angles, especially when the working surfaces are perpendicular to each other. At this time, the front end of the robot will collide with the other working surface, making it difficult to move forward.

[0035] For this purpose, see Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a wall-climbing robot that can smoothly transition between two working surfaces with large inclination angles. The wall-climbing robot includes: a body 10, a wall-climbing walking assembly, and a lifting assembly; the wall-climbing walking assembly and the lifting assembly are both arranged on the body 10.

[0036] The wall-climbing walking assembly is provided on the fuselage 10 and is used to contact the climbing surface and drive the fuselage 10 to move. The wall-climbing walking assembly can move in a variety of ways, for example, using a suction cup. After the suction cup contacts the climbing surface, it is vacuum-attached to the climbing surface. When movement is required, the suction cup breaks the vacuum and leaves the climbing surface. When moving, the wall-climbing walking assembly may include multiple walking arms, each equipped with a suction cup. The multiple walking arms move alternately, thereby ensuring that the fuselage 10 does not leave the climbing surface and allowing the fuselage 10 to move continuously. In addition, the wall-climbing walking assembly can also move using magnetic wheels. The surface of a ship is generally made of iron, which is magnetic. The magnetic wheels can be attached to the surface of the ship, and the fuselage 10 is then fixed to the surface of the ship. The rotation of the magnetic wheels can achieve the movement of the fuselage 10.

[0037] The lifting assembly includes a first telescopic member 310, which is positioned on the side of the fuselage 10 facing the climbing surface. The first telescopic member 310 extends and abuts the climbing surface, driving the fuselage 10 to adjust its climbing angle. The first telescopic member 310 is retractable. When extended, it abuts the climbing surface. The reaction force exerted by the climbing surface on the fuselage 10 drives the fuselage 10 away from the original climbing surface, allowing the wall-climbing assembly to contact another climbing surface. For example, if the fuselage 10 is parallel to the original climbing surface, the extended abutment of the first telescopic member 310 creates an inclination between the fuselage 10 and the original climbing surface, reducing the inclination between the fuselage 10 and the alternative climbing surface. As the first telescopic member 310 extends and the wall-climbing assembly moves, the fuselage 10 becomes parallel to the alternative climbing surface, allowing the fuselage 10 to transition to the alternative climbing surface.

[0038] See Figure 1 As shown, in the above embodiment, the wall-climbing robot is a three-wheeled design. In addition, the above implementation can also be used for a two-wheeled design or a four-wheeled design.

[0039] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the wall-climbing robot climbs on the corresponding climbing surface via the wall-climbing walking assembly, thereby driving the body 10 to move. After encountering two contact surfaces with larger inclination angles, the lifting assembly extends via the first telescopic member 310. The first telescopic member 310 abuts the climbing surface facing the body 10, and the first telescopic member 310 applies a resisting force to the climbing surface. Because the position of the climbing surface is fixed, when the first telescopic member 310 applies a resisting force to the climbing surface, the climbing surface exerts a reaction force on the body 10 via the first telescopic member 310. As a result, the body 10 moves away from the climbing surface under the action of the reaction force, causing the body 10 to approach the other climbing surface to be transitioned to. Subsequently, the wall-climbing walking assembly also contacts the other climbing surface, and the wall-climbing walking assembly moves on the other climbing surface. The first telescopic member 310 shortens, and the entire body 10, driven by the wall-climbing walking assembly, transitions to the other climbing surface. Thus, it can be seen that the present invention can smoothly transition between two working surfaces with larger inclination angles.

[0040] To make it easier for the fuselage 10 to adjust its climbing angle, based on the above embodiment, the fuselage 10 includes a front body 110 and a rear body 120 connected to the front body 110, with a turning gap separating the front body 110 and the rear body 120. The lifting assembly also includes a first driving member 330, which is disposed on the front body 110 and drives the first telescopic member 310. The fuselage 10 is typically equipped with various cleaning and maintenance devices, so the fuselage 10 is designed to be relatively long. During angle adjustment, the fuselage 10 is too long, resulting in the entire fuselage 10 moving, requiring the first telescopic member 310 to extend a longer distance to allow the entire fuselage 10 to move. To avoid the long extension of the first telescopic member 310 and to make it easier to adjust the angle of the fuselage 10, the fuselage 10 is divided into the front body 110 and the rear body 120, with a turning gap provided between the front body 110 and the rear body 120. The first drive member 330 drives the first telescopic member 310 to extend, thereby causing the front body 110 to rise first. This allows the front body 110 to first contact the other climbing surface, thus preventing the first telescopic member 310 from extending too long. Simply put, the fuselage 10 is divided into two sections. Through the turning gap between the front body 110 and the rear body 120, the planes of the front body 110 and the rear body 120 can be arranged at an angle to each other. One section of the fuselage 10 first contacts the other climbing surface, which then drives the remaining section of the fuselage 10 to contact the other climbing surface. It should be noted that to make it easier for the fuselage 10 to pass through two climbing surfaces, the fuselage 10 can also be designed into three or more sections.

[0041] In addition, the front body 110 is at the front end of the wall-climbing robot. When the wall-climbing robot turns, the front body 110 rotates first, and then drives the rear body 120 to rotate, thereby reducing the overall turning radius of the body 10 and making the wall-climbing robot more flexible in turning.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the lifting assembly also includes a second driving member 340 and a second telescopic member 320. The second driving member 340 is arranged on the rear body 120 of the machine, and the second driving member 340 is driven and connected to the second telescopic member 320. The extension direction of the second telescopic member 320 is away from the front body 110 of the machine.

[0043] Specifically, when the fuselage 10 adjusts its climbing angle, the first telescopic member 310 extends and contacts the climbing surface, driving the front body 110 upward. At this point, the rear body 120 also begins to form an angle with the climbing surface, and the second driving member 340 drives the second telescopic member 320 to extend, extending away from the front body 110. The second telescopic member 320 also contacts the climbing surface. This contact between the front and rear ends makes it easier for the fuselage 10 to adjust its climbing angle.

[0044] In addition, the surface of a ship usually has an arc, and through the extension and abutment of the first telescopic member 310 and the second telescopic member 320, the wall-climbing robot can also move on the curved surface of the ship.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the wall-climbing robot assembly includes a first magnetic wheel group 210, a second magnetic wheel group 220, and a third magnetic wheel group 230. The first magnetic wheel group 210 is located on the front body 110, and the second magnetic wheel group 220 and the third magnetic wheel group 230 are both located on the side of the rear body 120 facing the climbing surface. The first magnetic wheel group 210 is located at the center line of the connecting line between the second magnetic wheel group 220 and the third magnetic wheel group 230. The connecting line between the first magnetic wheel group 210, the second magnetic wheel group 220, and the third magnetic wheel group 230 forms a triangle. By adjusting the rotation direction of the first magnetic wheel group 210, the walking direction of the wall-climbing robot can be adjusted. Simply put, controlling one magnetic wheel group can achieve steering, making the structure more concise and easier to operate. Controlling one magnetic wheel group also allows for a smaller turning radius, making the wall-climbing robot more flexible.

[0046] In the above embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the wall-climbing walking assembly includes a steering drive 350 and a steering rod 351 connected to the steering drive 350. The end of the steering rod 351 away from the steering drive 350 is connected to the first magnetic wheel group 210. The steering drive 350 drives the first magnetic wheel group 210 to steer via the steering rod 351. Specifically, the steering drive 350 includes a steering motor. Fixed plates 352 are provided at both axial ends of the first magnetic wheel group 210. A connecting plate 353 is provided between the two fixed plates 352. The end of the steering rod 351 away from the steering drive 350 is connected to the connecting plate 353. When the steering drive 350 is powered on, the output power drives the steering rod 351 to rotate. The steering rod 351 drives the connecting plate 353 to rotate, thereby driving the first magnetic wheel group 210 to adjust its travel direction.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the wall-climbing assembly includes a rotating drive member 360, which is drivably connected to the first magnetic wheel assembly 210. The rotating drive member 360 is disposed on one axial side of the first magnetic wheel assembly 210, and an avoidance channel 111 is provided on the front body 110 corresponding to the rotating drive member 360. Specifically, the rotating drive member 360 includes a rotating motor, a drive shaft is disposed on one axial side of the first magnetic wheel assembly 210, and the rotating drive member 360 is connected to the drive shaft. When powered, the rotating drive member 360 outputs a rotational force through the drive shaft, thereby driving the first magnetic wheel assembly 210 to rotate. The rotating drive member 360 is sometimes long and occupies a large space. The rotating drive member 360 typically rotates together with the first magnetic wheel assembly 210. During the synchronous rotation process, the rotating driving member 360 is likely to collide with the fuselage 10. For this reason, an avoidance channel 111 is opened on the front body 110 corresponding to the rotating driving member 360. When turning, the rotating driving member 360 moves in the avoidance channel 111, thereby preventing the rotating driving member 360 from colliding with the fuselage 10.

[0048] In addition, it should be pointed out that corresponding rotating motors are also provided on the second magnetic wheel group 220 and the third magnetic wheel group 230. In order to save space, the rotating motor connected to the second magnetic wheel group 220 and the rotating motor connected to the third magnetic wheel group 230 are provided between the second magnetic wheel group 220 and the third magnetic wheel group 230.

[0049] In the above embodiment, at least one of the first magnetic wheel assembly 210, the second magnetic wheel assembly 220, and the third magnetic wheel assembly 230 includes a permanent magnetic wheel 211, a first magnetizing armature wheel 212, and a second magnetizing armature wheel 213. The first magnetizing armature wheel 212 is located at one axial end of the permanent magnetic wheel 211, and the second magnetizing armature wheel 213 is located at the other axial end of the permanent magnetic wheel 211. The surface of a ship is typically made of iron, and the magnetic wheel assembly enables the wall-climbing robot to remain attached to the ship's surface. The permanent magnetic wheel 211 is a magnet, and the first magnetizing armature wheel 212 and the second magnetizing armature wheel 213 function to increase the magnetic force of the magnetic wheel assembly, thereby enabling the body 10 to move more securely on the ship's surface. The permanent magnetic wheel 211, the first magnetizing armature wheel 212, and the second magnetizing armature wheel 213 have the same diameter. Furthermore, to effectively enhance magnetic properties, the width of the permanent magnetic wheel 211 is greater than the widths of the first magnetizing armature wheel 212 and the second magnetizing armature wheel 213.

[0050] Furthermore, a magnetic field weakening device can be provided at both ends of the first magnetic wheel assembly 210. When climbing a right-angled wall, the magnetic field of the first magnetic wheel assembly 210 can be weakened by the magnetic field weakening device. This can reduce the magnetism of the first magnetic wheel assembly 210, thereby allowing the first magnetic wheel assembly 210 to easily detach from the climbing surface, further reducing the difficulty of climbing. The magnetic field weakening device can generate a conductive current at both ends of the first magnetic wheel assembly 210, forming a magnetic field in the opposite direction of the first magnetic wheel assembly 210 through the electric field, so that the magnetic forces of the magnetic fields can cancel each other out. In addition, it is understood that a magnetic field in the same direction as the first magnetic wheel assembly 210 can also be generated at both ends of the first magnetic wheel assembly 210 to enhance the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic wheel assembly 210.

[0051] In the above embodiment, at least one of the first magnetic wheel group 210, the second magnetic wheel group 220 and the third magnetic wheel group 230 includes a first supporting armature wheel 214 and a second supporting armature wheel 215. The first supporting armature wheel 214 is arranged on the axial side of the first magnetizing armature wheel 215 away from the permanent magnet wheel 211, and the second supporting armature wheel 215 is arranged on the axial side of the second magnetizing armature wheel 213 away from the permanent magnet wheel 211. The diameters of the first supporting armature wheel 214 and the second supporting armature wheel 215 are larger than the diameter of the permanent magnet wheel 211.

[0052] Because the permanent magnet wheel 211 is primarily composed of magnets, the magnets are relatively brittle. When the first magnetic wheel assembly 210 moves across the surface of the ship, the magnets directly contact the ship's surface, which can easily cause the permanent magnet wheel 211 to break. Therefore, the diameters of the first and second support armature wheels 214, 215 are designed to be larger than the diameter of the permanent magnet wheel 211. This allows the radial surfaces of the first and second support armature wheels 214, 215 to contact the ship's surface, while a certain gap exists between the radial surface of the permanent magnet wheel 211 and the ship's surface. This prevents the permanent magnet wheel 211 from directly contacting the ship's surface, protecting the permanent magnet wheel 211 from damage. The first and second support armature wheels 214, 215 also have magnetic conductivity, smoothly transmitting the magnetic attraction of the permanent magnet wheel 211 to the ship's surface.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the wall-climbing robot includes a first accessory box 40 and a second accessory box 50. The first accessory box 40 is located on the front section 110, and the second accessory box 50 is located on the rear section 120. The first and second accessory boxes 40, 50 are spaced apart, forming a mounting space for mounting operating components. For example, the first accessory box 40 is used to mount the first driver 330, and the second accessory box 50 is used to mount the second driver 340. A six-axis robotic arm 60 is located between the first and second accessory boxes 40, 50. During ship construction operations, the robotic arm 60 can be equipped with other operating components, such as a high-pressure water gun and a paint spray gun. For ship thickness testing, the robotic arm 60 can also be equipped with other operating components, such as an electromagnetic ultrasonic probe or a piezoelectric ultrasonic probe.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the wall-climbing robot includes a camera component (not shown), which is arranged on the fuselage 10 and includes a camera and an illumination light source; the wall-climbing robot includes a wireless connection module, which is arranged on the fuselage 10 and is used to receive and send signals. The wall-climbing robot can sometimes operate inside a ship, but the light inside the ship is usually weak, so an illumination light source is needed to provide lighting. The camera is used to capture the conditions on the surface of the ship and remotely transmit the captured conditions to the control terminal via the wireless connection module. The control terminal then issues operating instructions via the wireless connection module. Alternatively, the wall-climbing robot can operate autonomously based on the conditions on the surface of the ship. In addition, the camera can be set on the front body 110 of the machine, or on the rear body 120 of the machine, and the camera can also be set on the robotic arm 60.

[0055] In addition, a thickness gauge 70 is provided on one side of the first telescopic member 310. The thickness gauge 70 adopts the ultrasonic thickness measurement principle and is used to measure whether the thickness of the ship's surface paint meets the requirements. The thickness gauge 70 moves closer to or away from the climbing surface along with the first telescopic member 310.

[0056] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's description and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, within the scope of the present invention are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
