Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of maintenance technology for industrial equipment, ships and steel structures, specifically to a modular industrial multi-purpose wall-climbing robot. Background Technology

[0002] Modern technological advancements have led to the construction of massive industrial steel machinery and buildings. Over time, these large industrial steel structures and machines will rust. To ensure their proper use and extend their lifespan, they need to be cleaned regularly. Traditionally, this was done manually using high-pressure water guns. Modern methods have evolved to use wall-climbing robots for cleaning, reducing the dangers of manual high-altitude work. However, existing multi-purpose industrial wall-climbing robots are cumbersome to install and disassemble, lack modular installation, and require disassembly and reassembly of numerous parts if damaged, which is very time-consuming and prolongs the cleaning process. Furthermore, they have limited functionality, only capable of performing single cleaning tasks. Summary of the Invention

The ends of the two drive shafts located outside the worm gear reducer pass through the corresponding fixing plates and are fixed with first rollers. The outer walls of the two drive shafts located inside the control box are fixed with two bearings. The outer walls of the bearings are fixed with reinforcing blocks. The four reinforcing blocks are located inside and outside the control box respectively. The outer reinforcing blocks and the inner reinforcing blocks are fixedly connected by bolts.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-4As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a modular industrial multi-purpose wall-climbing robot, including a chassis 15, a control box 10 on the top of the chassis 15, a first fixing rod 9 fixed on the upper left side of the control box 10, two first insert rods 2 on the top of the chassis 15 located on the left side of the control box 10, the two first insert rods 2 being inserted into each other, two fixing plates 5 fixed on the outer side walls of the two first insert rods 2, a worm gear reducer 13 fixed between the two front fixing plates 5 and between the two rear fixing plates 5, a new type reducer 14 fixed on the right side of the worm gear reducer 13, a motor 16 fixed on the right side of the new type reducer 14, and a second insert rod 20 fixed on the opposite sides of the two middle fixing plates 5, the two second insert rods 20 being inserted into each other. The rods 20 are interlocked. Two first pins 4 are inserted into the outer walls of both the first and second rods 20. Three connecting plates 6 are provided between the first rod 2 and the first fixed rod 9. Rings 7 are fixed to both sides of the connecting plates 6. The inner walls of the three rings 7 on one side of the first fixed rod 9 are fixedly connected to the first fixed rod 9. The inner walls of the three rings 7 on one side of the first rod 2 are movably connected to the outer walls of the two first rods 2. Two third rods 3 are provided on one side of the first rod 2. The third rods 3 pass through the three connecting plates 6 and the four fixed plates 5. The inside of the control box 10 and the inside of the worm gear reducer 13 are rotatably connected to the drive shafts 17. The two drive shafts 17 located outside the worm gear reducer 13... The ends of the shafts 17 pass through the corresponding fixing plates 5 and are fixed with first rollers 1. Two bearings 18 are fixed to the outer walls of the two drive shafts 17 inside the control box 10. Reinforcing blocks 23 are fixed to the outer walls of the bearings 18. The four reinforcing blocks 23 are located inside and outside the control box 10 respectively. The outer reinforcing blocks 23 and the inner reinforcing blocks 23 are fixedly connected by bolts. Two second rollers 12 are fixed to the outer walls of the two drive shafts 17 on the right side. The control device 11 is fixed inside the control box 10. Three magnetic blocks 22 are fixed to the bottom of the chassis 15. Second pins 24 are inserted into both sides of the outer walls of the third insertion rod 3. Mounting plates 25 are fixed to both sides of the outer walls of the first fixing rod 9. The rear surface of the rear mounting plate 25 is mounted with... The device has a cleaning head 8. The cable is inserted into the control device 11, and the device is attached to the hull by the magnetic block 22. The motor 16 is remotely started. The motor 16 drives the two drive shafts 17 on the left and the first roller 1 through the new type reducer 14 and the worm gear reducer 13. The rotation of the first roller 1 moves the device. At the same time, the cleaning head 8 sprays water to clean the rust on the surface of the hull. If the first roller 1 fails, the first pin 4 and the second pin 24 are removed, and the first rod 2, the second rod 20, the fixing plate 5, the worm gear reducer 13, the new type reducer 14 and the motor 16 on the side of the failed first roller 1 are removed and replaced with new ones. This facilitates disassembly and installation, reduces cleaning time and lowers the cost of docking the ship.

[0022] Furthermore, motor 16 is a brake motor, so the output shaft can be fixed, allowing the first roller 1 to roll freely.

[0023] Furthermore, an aluminum block 21 is provided between the two magnetic blocks 22 on the left side. The top of the aluminum block 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the chassis 15 to prevent the two magnetic blocks 22 from attracting each other and deforming the chassis 15 over a long period of time.

[0024] Furthermore, the bottom of the magnetic block 22 has a rounded structure, so that there will be no sharp edges that could scratch the hull.

[0025] Furthermore, a second fixing rod 19 is provided on the left side of the first fixing rod 9. The second fixing rod 19 passes through the three connecting plates 6 and the control box 10, and the inner side wall of the control box 10 and the inner side wall of the connecting plates 6 are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the second fixing rod 19, which can strengthen the tension.

[0026] Furthermore, the top of the chassis 15 is provided with multiple mounting holes 26, which allows for the installation of an additional mechanical cantilever. The mechanical cantilever can be used to install testing equipment to inspect the testing device.

[0027] In summary, the workflow of this invention is as follows: The cable is inserted into the control device 11, and the device is attached to the hull via the magnetic block 22. The motor 16 is remotely started. The motor 16 drives the two transmission shafts 17 on the left and the first roller 1 through the new type of reducer 14 and the worm gear reducer 13, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the first roller 1 moves the device, while the cleaning head 8 sprays water to clean the rust on the hull surface. If the first roller 1 malfunctions, the first pin 4 and the second pin 24 are removed, and the first rod 2, the second rod 20, the fixing plate 5, the worm gear reducer 13, the new type of reducer 14, and the motor 16 on the side of the malfunctioning first roller 1 are removed and replaced with new ones. This facilitates disassembly and installation and reduces cleaning time.
