[0030] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and detailed implementation manners:

[0031] As Figures 1 to 9 shown, a wall traveling device of a multifunctional robot includes a housing 1. Inside the housing 1, there is a magazine 2 capable of batch placing wall-anchoring nails. On one side of the magazine 2, there is a feeding magazine 3. On one side of the feeding magazine 3, there is a firing wheel 4 capable of loading wall-anchoring nails. On one side of the magazine 2, there is a firing structure 5 for shooting out the wall-anchoring nails in the firing wheel 4. On one side of the firing structure 5, there is an anchor nail firing tube 6. On one side of the anchor nail firing tube 6, there is an air guiding device 7. On one side of the housing 1, there is a traveling foot component 8. This device is installed on the feet of the robot body of the robot. When this device is installed on multiple feet of the robot body, and then through the mutual cooperation of multiple feet, it can crawl on the wall. When in use, a plurality of wall-anchoring nails are pre-placed in the magazine. When the robot body of the robot climbs the wall, the magazine supplies the wall-anchoring nails to the feeding magazine, and the feeding magazine further supplies the wall-anchoring nails to the firing wheel. At this time, the wall-anchoring nails in the firing wheel are waiting to be fired. The firing structure drives the firing wheel to rotate continuously. When the firing wheel rotates to a predetermined position, the fuse of the wall-anchoring nail will be cut, and the wall-anchoring nail will be shot out from the anchor nail firing tube. The air guiding device releases the gas generated when the gunpowder burns. At this time, the wall-anchoring nail will be shot into the wall and fixed by the traveling foot component clamping on the wall-anchoring nail. By continuously shooting the wall-anchoring nails into the wall through multiple such devices, and then through the cooperation of the traveling foot components on the feet of multiple robot bodies and the wall-anchoring nails, the whole robot can crawl on the wall. In addition, the whole robot can walk on land only through the activities of the traveling foot components without using wall-anchoring nails, realizing the characteristic of the device being dual-purpose on land and in the air.

[0032] In the present invention, the housing 1 includes a housing body 11 and an upper cover 12 and a lower cover 13 respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the housing body 11. The upper cover can be removed to batch place the wall-anchoring nails into the magazine, and the housing body can also be removed from the lower cover, so as to facilitate the internal repair and maintenance.

[0033] In the present invention, the ammunition magazine 2 includes a magazine clip 21 disposed inside the housing body 11. An ammunition inlet 22 is provided at the top of the magazine clip 21. Inside the magazine clip 21, there is a wave wheel motor 23 capable of driving the wall - fixing anchor downwards. An inclined baffle 24 is fixedly provided inside the magazine clip 21. The inclined baffle 24 gradually narrows from top to bottom. At the lower part of the magazine clip 21, there is a convex block 25 and a bullet - sliding groove 26 capable of rotating the wall - fixing anchor by 90°. An ammunition outlet 27 is provided on the side wall of the lower part of the magazine clip 21. A plurality of observation holes 28 are provided through the magazine clip 21 and the housing body 11. Wall - fixing anchors are batch - loaded into the magazine clip from the ammunition inlet, and multi - path or single - path loading of wall - fixing anchors can be achieved. The wave wheel motor inside supplies the wall - fixing anchors downwards. When the wall - fixing anchors move to the inclined baffle, the inclined baffle converges the multi - path wall - fixing anchors to the lower side of the inclined baffle. When the wall - fixing anchors enter the bullet - sliding groove, at this time, the convex block presses the head of the wall - fixing anchor, causing the wall - fixing anchor to rotate 90° with the anchor head as the center point. The wall - fixing anchor after rotating 90° is supplied from the ammunition outlet to the upper ammunition magazine. The rear side of the bullet - sliding groove has an arc - shaped inner wall, which is convenient for the rotation of the wall - fixing anchor.

[0034] Inside the housing body 11 of the present invention, there is a support frame 9. The support frame 9 is cylindrical. An inner cavity 91 is provided inside the support frame 9. The upper ammunition magazine 3 is disposed between the support frame 9 and the magazine clip 21 and is interconnected. Inside the upper ammunition magazine 3, there is a bullet - separating frame 31. The firing wheel 4 is disposed inside the support frame 9 and closely adheres to the inner wall of the support frame 9. When the device works, the support frame is fixed on one side of the upper ammunition magazine. When the wall - fixing anchors are supplied from the ammunition outlet to the upper ammunition magazine, the bullet - separating frame inside the upper ammunition magazine diverts the supplied wall - fixing anchors and loads the wall - fixing anchors onto the firing wheel inside the inner cavity. The firing wheel can rotate inside the inner cavity, so that the wall - fixing anchors already loaded into the firing wheel follow the movement until they are fired. Through the continuous firing of the wall - fixing anchors and the continuous supply of new wall - fixing anchors from the upper ammunition magazine, the wall - fixing anchors can be continuously fired until the wall - fixing anchors are emptied.

[0035] The firing wheel 4 in the present invention includes a rotating shaft 41 and a plurality of fins 42 fixedly provided on the rotating shaft 41. A loading groove 43 is formed between two adjacent fins 42. The intervals between the plurality of fins on the firing wheel are consistent, and loading grooves are formed at the intervals between the plurality of fins. The wall - fixing anchors can be loaded from the upper ammunition magazine through the bullet - separating frame into the loading grooves. After loading the wall - fixing anchors, when the rotating shaft is driven to rotate by the firing structure, it will drive the wall - fixing anchors to follow the displacement until they are fired. Since the outer wall of the firing wheel closely adheres to the inner wall of the inner cavity of the support frame, the wall - fixing anchors will not fall out of the loading grooves during the rotation process.

[0036] The firing structure 5 described in the present invention includes an inner gear ring 51 fixed on the top of the rotating shaft 41, and a brushless motor 52 is arranged above the inner gear ring 51. A reduction gear 53 meshing with the inner gear ring 51 is installed on the lower side of the rotor of the brushless motor 52. One side of the brushless motor 52 is fixedly connected to the lower cover 13 by a connecting rod 54. A cutting groove 55 capable of cutting the fire core of the wall anchor is arranged on the support frame 9, and a shooting hole 56 for allowing the wall anchor to pass through is arranged at the bottom of the support frame 9. When in use, the reduction gear is driven to rotate by starting the brushless motor, and the reduction gear drives the inner gear ring to rotate continuously to rotate the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft rotates, the wall anchor follows the displacement at the firing wheel, and when the fire core protruding from the tail of the wall anchor rotates to the cutting groove, the cutting groove cuts and squeezes the fire core, the wall anchor will be ignited, and the wall anchor will be shot downward from the shooting hole.

[0037] The support frame 9 described in the present invention is provided with an empty slot 92 for throwing out the residue of the wall anchor. After the wall anchor is fired, the residue of the wall anchor is thrown out from the empty slot. Generally, no residue is generated when the wall anchor is fired. In order to prevent the accidental generation of residue and to prevent the residue from jamming the firing wheel, the residue can be thrown out from the empty slot in advance.

[0038] The anchor firing tube 6 described in the present invention includes a first tube body 61 fixed at the bottom of the support frame 9 and arranged concentrically with the perforation 56. A second tube body 62 connected to the first tube body 61 is fixed at the bottom of the lower cover 13. After the wall anchor is fired from the firing wheel, the wall anchor will pass through the perforation into the first tube body, then into the second tube body, and then be shot out from the second tube body and into the wall.

[0039] The gas guide device 7 described in the present invention includes a first fixing member 71 and a second fixing member 72 respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the first tube body 61, an L-shaped pipeline 73 connected to the interior of the first tube body 61 is arranged in the second fixing member 72, a piston rod 74 is inserted in the first fixing member 71, a piston head 75 is fixed at the bottom of the piston rod 74, the piston head 75 is arranged in the L-shaped pipeline 73 for limited movement, a return spring 76 sleeved on the piston rod 74 is arranged between the top wall of the piston head 75 and the bottom wall of the first fixing member 71, when the wall anchor is fired, the generated combustion gas will enter the L-shaped pipeline, so that the piston head is pressed upward until the piston head is separated from the L-shaped pipeline, at which time the combustion gas will be released into the outside air to complete the purpose of exhaust, and the piston head is reset by the piston rod driven by the return spring and reinserted into the L-shaped pipeline to wait for the next exhaust.

[0040] In the present invention, the traveling foot component 8 includes an L-shaped frame 81 fixedly sleeved on the second pipe body 62. A crawling foot 82 is hinged to the bottom of the L-shaped frame 81. A cylinder 83 capable of driving the crawling foot 82 to rotate is provided between the side wall of the crawling foot 82 and the side wall of the L-shaped frame 81. An anti-slip pattern 84 is provided at the bottom of the crawling foot 82. A nail-removing groove 85 capable of clamping on the wall anchor is provided on the crawling foot 82. The nail-removing groove 85 is in a flared shape. When the wall anchor is shot into the wall, since the groove position of the nail-removing groove does not block the shooting position of the wall anchor, after the wall anchor is shot and embedded in the wall, the wall anchor will be located inside the nail-removing groove and is fixed by clamping on the wall anchor through the nail-removing groove. Driven by the cylinder, the crawling foot can move. By installing this device on multiple feet of the robot body and cooperating with the shooting of the wall anchor, and the feet clamping on the wall anchor, the robot can crawl on the wall.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the description in the specification only illustrate the principles of the present invention.
