Detailed Implementation
[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0036] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a negative pressure adsorption wall-climbing robot suitable for cylindrical surface movement, including a lateral drive device 2, a lateral connecting device 3, an adsorption device 4, and two cylindrical pulleys 1. The adsorption device 4 and the two cylindrical pulleys 1 are both disposed between the lateral drive device 2 and the lateral connecting device 3, and the two cylindrical pulleys 1 are respectively arranged on both sides of the adsorption device 4. The adsorption device 4 is used for negative pressure adsorption, and the lateral drive device 2 is used to drive the two cylindrical pulleys 1 to rotate as a whole around their own axis. The two cylindrical pulleys 1 have the function of being able to move along their own axis, thereby realizing the negative pressure adsorption wall-climbing robot to move in both the lateral and longitudinal directions.
[0037] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the cylindrical pulley 1 includes a longitudinal drive mechanism 101, a short shaft 102, a wheel frame mounting plate 103, a long shaft 106, and a track transmission mechanism. Two wheel frame mounting plates 103 are arranged in parallel, and the longitudinal drive mechanism 101 is installed between the two wheel frame mounting plates 103. The wheel frame mounting plates 103 are circular, and multiple sets of track transmission mechanisms are arranged circumferentially between the two wheel frame mounting plates 103, forming a cylindrical structure. Adjacent sets of track transmission mechanisms are connected for transmission. The two symmetrically arranged sets of track transmission mechanisms are connected to the longitudinal drive mechanism 101, which drives the multiple sets of track transmission mechanisms to rotate synchronously and in the same direction along the axial direction of the cylindrical pulley 1. The short shaft 102 and the long shaft 106 are respectively located at the outer center positions of the two wheel frame mounting plates 103. The short shaft 102 is used to connect with the lateral connecting device 3, and the long shaft 106 is used to connect with the lateral drive device 2.
[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, the track drive mechanism includes a track, a timing pulley frame 107, a cross coupling 108, and timing pulleys a109. Multiple timing pulley frames 107 are circumferentially arranged at the outer edge of the wheel frame mounting plate 103. A timing pulley a109 is rotatably mounted on each timing pulley frame 107. Adjacent timing pulleys a109 are connected by a cross coupling 108 to form a closed-loop structure. Corresponding timing pulleys a109 on two wheel frame mounting plates 103 are connected by a track drive. In this embodiment, the track includes multiple short tracks 104 and two long tracks 105. The two long tracks 105 are symmetrically arranged and both are connected to the longitudinal drive mechanism 101. The multiple short tracks 104 are respectively arranged on both sides of the long tracks 105.
[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, the two wheel frame mounting plates 103 are connected by multiple sets of adjustment components; the adjustment components include an adjustment screw 110 and an adjustment nut 111, wherein one end of the adjustment screw 110 and the adjustment nut 111 are respectively connected to the two wheel frame mounting plates 103, and the other end of the adjustment screw 110 and the adjustment nut 111 are threadedly connected, and the distance between the two wheel frame mounting plates 103 is adjusted by controlling the engagement length between the adjustment screw 110 and the adjustment nut 111.
[0040] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the longitudinal drive mechanism 101 includes a longitudinal drive left support 1011, a longitudinal drive right support 1012, a gear protective cover 1013, a reduction motor a1014, a large gear a1015, a synchronous pulley b1016, a small gear a1017, and idler gears 1018. The reduction motor a1014 is disposed between the longitudinal drive left support 1011 and the longitudinal drive right support 1012, and the large gear a1015 is disposed at the output end of the reduction motor a1014. The two synchronous pulleys b1016 and the four idler gears 1018 are rotatably disposed between the longitudinal drive left support 1011 and the longitudinal drive right support 1012, and the four idler gears 1018 are arranged on both sides of the synchronous pulley b1016. The synchronous pulleys b1016 and the idler gears 1018 can rotate between the longitudinal drive left support 1011 and the longitudinal drive right support 1012. Two synchronous pulleys b1016 are coaxially mounted with two meshing pinions a1017, one of which meshes with a large gear a1015. Two long tracks 105 pass through the two synchronous pulleys b1016, and each long track 105 is deflected by two idler pulleys 1018 located on both sides of the synchronous pulleys b1016. Furthermore, the large gear a1015 and the pinion a1017 are located between the longitudinal drive right-side support 1012 and the gear protective cover 1013. During operation, the geared motor a1014 drives the large gear a1015 to rotate, which in turn drives the two small gears a1017 to rotate in the opposite direction. At the same time, the two synchronous pulleys b1016 also rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn drives the two long tracks 105 to rotate synchronously in the same direction. Since the synchronous pulleys a109 are connected by a cross coupling 108, the multiple short tracks 104 and the two long tracks 105 rotate synchronously in the same direction, realizing the movement of the cylindrical pulley 1 along the axial direction.
[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the longitudinal drive mechanism 101 is mounted on a wheel frame mounting plate 103 and connected to another wheel frame mounting plate 103 via a support assembly. Specifically, the support assembly includes multiple sets of support bolt rods arranged circumferentially.
[0042] In this embodiment, ten sets of track drive mechanisms are provided between the two wheel frame mounting plates 103 of the cylindrical pulley 1. That is, each end of the cylindrical pulley 1 is provided with ten synchronous pulley frames 107, ten cross couplings 108, and ten synchronous pulleys a109. The synchronous pulleys a109 can rotate on the synchronous pulley frames 107. The cross couplings 108 connect two adjacent synchronous pulleys a109 and keep the two synchronous pulleys a109 rotating at the same speed. The ten cross couplings 108 on the same side are alternately arranged with the ten synchronous pulleys a109 and connected to each other, eventually forming a loop. When one synchronous pulley a109 rotates, the remaining synchronous pulleys a109 will rotate together. Eight short tracks 104 are directly connected to the corresponding synchronous pulleys a109 on the left and right sides. In addition to being connected to the corresponding synchronous pulleys a109 on the left and right sides, the two long tracks 105 are also connected to the longitudinal drive mechanism 101.
[0043] like Figure 6 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the lateral drive device 2 includes a pinion b21, a reduction motor b22, a large gear b23, a synchronous belt drive mechanism, and a lateral drive frame 27. The lateral drive frame 27 is connected to the adsorption device 4. The reduction motor b22 is installed at the center of the lateral drive frame 27, and its output end is connected to the pinion b21. Two large gears b23 are rotatably mounted on the lateral drive frame 27 and mesh with the pinion b21. Each large gear b23 is connected to a cylindrical pulley 1 through a set of synchronous belt drive mechanisms. During operation, the reduction motor b22 drives the pinion b21 to rotate, thereby driving the two large gears b23 to rotate, which in turn drives the two cylindrical pulleys 1 to move forward or backward laterally through the two sets of synchronous belt drive mechanisms.
[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, the synchronous belt drive mechanism includes a synchronous pulley c24, a synchronous belt 25, and a synchronous pulley d26. The synchronous pulley c24 is coaxially mounted with a large gear b23. The synchronous pulley d26 is rotatably mounted at the end of the transverse drive frame 27 and is connected to the synchronous pulley c24 via the synchronous belt 25. The synchronous pulley d26 is fixedly connected to the long shaft 106 of a cylindrical pulley 1, so that the cylindrical pulley 1 and the synchronous pulley d26 rotate synchronously.
[0045] like Figure 7-8As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the adsorption device 4 includes an upper adsorption cavity 401, a negative pressure mechanism, a lower adsorption cavity 404, a skirt 405, and an elastic connection mechanism. The upper adsorption cavity 401 has an open end structure. One end of the lower adsorption cavity 404 is slidably engaged with the open end of the upper adsorption cavity 401 and is connected by the elastic connection mechanism. The other end of the lower adsorption cavity 404 is provided with a skirt 405, which is deformed to fit the curved surface. The negative pressure mechanism is disposed on the top of the upper adsorption cavity 401 and is used to provide negative pressure to the adsorption cavity formed by the upper adsorption cavity 401 and the lower adsorption cavity 404.
[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the elastic connection mechanism includes a guide shaft support 407, a spring 408, a guide shaft bearing 409, a guide shaft 410, and a guide shaft end cap 411. The guide shaft support 407 is disposed on the top of the upper adsorption cavity 401. The upper end of the guide shaft 410 is fixedly connected to the guide shaft support 407, and the lower end is connected to the guide shaft end cap 411. The lower adsorption cavity 404 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 410 via the guide shaft bearing 409. The spring 408 is sleeved on the guide shaft 410, and its two ends abut against the guide shaft bearing 409 and the guide shaft support 407, respectively. Under the action of the guide shaft 410, the upper adsorption cavity 401 and the lower adsorption cavity 404 can move relative to each other. The spring 408 can generate a force that pushes the upper adsorption cavity 401 and the lower adsorption cavity 404 away from each other. The skirt 405 can deform to better conform to the shape of the curved surface. The present invention employs an adsorption cavity with a two-stage deformation structure, which can ensure adsorption performance on a cylindrical surface.
[0047] In embodiments of the present invention, the negative pressure mechanism includes a centrifugal fan 402, a fan mounting bracket 403, and an air filter 406. The fan mounting bracket 403 is disposed on the top of the upper adsorption chamber 401, and the air filter 406 and the centrifugal fan 402 are mounted on the fan mounting bracket 403 from bottom to top. During operation, the centrifugal fan 402 is activated to evacuate the adsorption chamber, thereby achieving negative pressure adsorption in the adsorption chamber.
[0048] This invention provides a negative pressure adsorption wall-climbing robot suitable for moving on a cylindrical surface. It can move along the axis and circumferential direction of the cylindrical surface without the need for robot turning, thus enabling the robot to traverse and inspect the cylindrical surface.
