Specifically, the first first functional component 11 and the first second functional component 21 are both capable of generating magnetism, so that the first robot 1 and the second robot 2 located on both sides of the processed plate 3 can be stably maintained on the processed plate 3 under the magnetic adsorption of the first first functional component 11 and the first second functional component 21, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, after the second first functional component 11 and the second second functional component 21 are magnetically adsorbed, the first first functional component 11 and the first second functional component 21 are driven by the first body component 12 and the second body component 22 to move upwards above the obstacle 4 after being separated from the processed plate 3, cross the obstacle 4, and finally realize magnetic adsorption of the first functional component 11 and the second second functional component 21 in front of the obstacle, at this time, the second first functional component 11 and the second second functional component 21 are driven by the first body component 12 and the second body component 22 to realize a "somersault" type obstacle crossing motion mode after being separated from the processed plate 3, and finally realize obstacle crossing and movement in the target direction, as shown in Figure 14

[0054] It should be noted that the processed plate 3 can be processed during the movement or static state of the robot, wherein at least one of the plurality of first functional components 11 has a processing function, and at least one of the plurality of second functional components 21 has a processing function. That is, the first functional component 11 and the second functional component 21 not only have magnetism, but also can carry processing tools, and can perform processing operation when adsorbed, for example, can perform punching, grinding, painting, cutting, welding and other processing actions, to realize the corresponding processing target. In actual application, a plurality of functional components can simultaneously process a plurality of parts of the processed plate 3 to perform the same or different processing operation, and perform a variety of types of synchronous operation. The present application adopts a bionic multi-point adsorption concept similar to a inchworm, and the series magnetic adsorption robot can be extended to multi-point adsorption, has good expandability and high operation efficiency.

[0055] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 ​As shown, the first body assembly 12 and the second body assembly 22 each include a plurality of branch chains 101, and each adjacent two branch chains 101 are connected by a lockable joint 121 or a lockable movable pair 122, so that the body assembly forms a series body structure or a series-parallel combined body structure, and different first functional assemblies 11 have the same or different number and spatial structure arrangement of the branch chains 101, and different second functional assemblies 21 have the same or different number and spatial structure arrangement of the branch chains 101.

[0056] It should be noted that the lockable joint 121 can make the two connected branch chains 101 in a joint state or a locked state, when the two connected branch chains 101 are in the joint state, the two connected branch chains 101 can be converted between straightening and bending, and when the two connected branch chains 101 are in the locked state, the two connected branch chains 101 can be locked in a straight state or a bent state.

[0062] As shown in the figure, Figure 6 , Figure 7 The action process of the device passing through the obstacle 4 is as follows: first, one of the functional components is stably attached, and the other functional component is driven by the body component to move away from the processed plate 3 and be lifted above the obstacle 4 and pass through the obstacle 4 to the front of the obstacle 4, and then be lowered and attached to the processed plate 3.

In actual application, it should be considered whether the driving force of the branch chain 101 is sufficient to support the gravity of all the rear components. The specific setting and selection can be flexibly set according to the actual situation of the device to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first body component 12 or the second body component 22 includes a plurality of branch chains 101, and each adjacent two branch chains 101 are connected by a lockable joint 121 and / or a lockable moving pair 122, so that the body component forms a series-parallel combined body structure. As shown in the figure, Figure 9 As shown in the figure, four functional components are designed, which can simultaneously perform four work operations at different four positions, providing work efficiency.

[0065] It should be noted that when the product passes through the obstacle, the functional components can pay attention to the obstacle passing, or after the first functional component passes through the obstacle, the remaining functional components can pass through the obstacle in a somersault manner, improving the obstacle passing efficiency. As shown in the figure, Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the schematic diagram of the obstacle passing action of this embodiment is shown.

The arrangement of the complex branch chain 101 allows more functional components to be arranged, which is equivalent to forming a multi-legged robot. The plurality of functional components can undertake different machining tasks and different machining positions, greatly improving the machining efficiency and facilitating efficient machining of large machined plates 3.
