For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] See also Figure 1-5 A negative pressure adsorption crawling robot comb-tooth sealing structure comprises a suction cup bracket 1, a plurality of vacuum sources 2 penetrating the suction cup bracket 1 are connected to the middle end of the top surface of the suction cup bracket 1, a plurality of suction cup outer frames 4 are equidistantly connected to the outer end of the suction cup bracket 1, a suction cup cover 3 is connected to the inner end surface of the suction cup outer frame 4, the top surface of the suction cup cover 3 is connected to the bottom edge of the suction cup bracket 1, a suction cup contact ring 5 for contacting with the external environment is arranged on the bottom edge of the suction cup cover 3, an extension ring 6 is connected to the outer end of the suction cup outer frame 4, a plurality of square grooves are arranged at the bottom of the extension ring 6, and the square grooves are close to one end edge of the suction cup bracket 1. A cover plate 12 is connected to the edge of the square groove, and a comb-tooth sealing structure 8 that can rotate up and down and perform auxiliary sealing is arranged in the area above the cover plate 12 inside the square groove. An auxiliary pressure strip 9 for cooperating in sealing is connected to the bottom surface of the comb-tooth sealing structure 8, and an adjusting component for adjusting the position of the comb-tooth sealing structure 8 is arranged inside the square groove. An air injection pipe 7 is arranged on the top surface of the extension ring 6 corresponding to the middle end of each square groove. All air injection pipes 7 are connected to an external air pump. After the comb-tooth sealing structure 8 is triggered, air will be inflated into all the sealing chambers 803 to ensure the stability of the entire wall-climbing robot.

[0032] Furthermore, the adjustment component includes a movable column 10, a receiving frame 11, an elastic paddle 13, and an electromagnet 14. The movable column 10 is fixedly installed at the middle end of the top surface of the rotating block 801, the receiving frame 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the square groove, and the movable column 10 and the receiving frame 11 are slidably connected. The electromagnet 14 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the receiving frame 11. The end of the movable column 10 is embedded with magnetic metal. The movable column 10 is an arc-shaped quadrangular prism corresponding to the rotating block 801, and the electromagnet 14 is a curved electromagnet. When a concave point appears in the external walking environment, under the action of the elastic paddle 13, the corresponding area The comb-tooth sealing structure 8 is triggered, and the electromagnet 14 is started at the same time, and its magnetism is set to be the same as that of the movable column 10, so that the movable column drives the comb-tooth sealing structure 8 to rotate downward, thereby driving the auxiliary pressure strip 9 to move downward, and then cooperates with all the sealing chambers 803 inside the comb-tooth sealing structure 8 to unfold, thereby completing the sealing, and realizing the closure of the lower concave point through the auxiliary pressure strip 9. When the upper convex point appears in the ring, the electromagnet 14 is also triggered to push the movable column 10 to cooperate with the pressure of the elastic pick 13, thereby completing the sealing of the convex point part.

[0033] Furthermore, there are two elastic paddles 13 inside each square groove, and they are all fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the square groove. The end of the elastic paddle 13 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the rotating block 801. In the initial state of the elastic paddle 13, the auxiliary pressure strip 9 should be ensured to be lower than the suction cup contact circle 5. In the initial state, the auxiliary pressure strip 9 can be lifted by generating an opposite force to the movable column 10 by the electromagnet 14, thereby avoiding excessive contact between the auxiliary pressure strip 9 and the walking plane, thereby reducing the friction of the wall-climbing robot under normal conditions.

[0034] Furthermore, the suction cup contact ring 5 is made of an elastic material with a low friction coefficient, the bottom surface of the suction cup contact ring 5 is lower than the extension ring 6, the auxiliary pressure strip 9 is made of annular elastic material, and can be flush with the bottom surface of the suction cup contact ring 5 with the cooperation of the comb tooth sealing structure 8, the cover plate 12 is fixedly installed on the edge of the square groove on the bottom surface of the extension ring 6, and the end of the cover plate 12 must ensure that it does not affect the movement of the comb tooth sealing structure 8. The cover plate 12 is made of metal and is used to protect the components inside the square groove. When the wall-climbing robot is climbing the wall, the area of ​​dust entering the square groove can be reduced, thereby completing the internal protection.

[0035] Furthermore, the comb-tooth sealing structure 8 includes a rotating block 801, a bending block 802, a sealing chamber 803 and a sensor 804. The rotating block 801 is rotatably connected to the inside of the square groove and is located in the upper area of ​​the cover plate 12. The bending block 802 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating block 801. The sealing chamber 803 is embedded and fixedly installed on the end faces of both sides of the rotating block 801. The sensor 804 is embedded and installed in the middle area of ​​the inner wall of the bending end of the bending block 802. When the comb-tooth sealing structure 8 is working, when a concave point appears, the corresponding bending block 802 will drive the rotating block 801 to move downward under the action of the elastic paddle 13, so that the sensor 804 generates a signal with the receiving target, thereby transmitting an electrical signal to the electromagnet 14, and all the seals are energized by an external air pump. The sealing chamber 803 is inflated. Since the sealing chamber 803 is connected to the gas injection pipe 7, there is a cavity inside the sealing chamber 803, and the sealing chamber itself is ductile. After being fully unfolded, it can fully fit with the adjacent sealing chamber 803, thereby ensuring the sealing between the multiple rotating blocks 801. The bottom is sealed under the elastic action of the auxiliary pressure strip 9, thereby ensuring the sealing of the entire suction cup assembly. The auxiliary pressure strip 9 is fixedly installed at the junction of the rotating block 801 and the bending block 802, and the lowest surface of the auxiliary pressure strip 9 is lower than the bottom surface of the rotating block 801. The end surface of the bending block 802 fits the outer surface of the extension ring 6. The sensor 804 inside the bending block 802 is provided with multiple receiving targets at corresponding positions on the surface of the extension ring 6. The auxiliary pressure strip 9 has the same physical properties as the suction cup contact ring 5.

[0036] During use, when a concave point appears in the external walking environment, under the action of the elastic paddle 13, the comb-tooth sealing structure 8 in the corresponding area is triggered, and at the same time, the electromagnet 14 is started, and its magnetism is set to be the same as that of the movable column 10, so that the movable column drives the comb-tooth sealing structure 8 to rotate downward, thereby driving the auxiliary pressure strip 9 to move downward, and then cooperates to unfold the sealing chamber 803 inside all the comb-tooth sealing structures 8, so as to complete the sealing and realize the closure of the concave point by the auxiliary pressure strip 9. When the comb-tooth sealing structure 8 is triggered, the corresponding bending block 802 will drive the rotating block 801 to move downward under the action of the elastic paddle 13, so as to prevent the comb-tooth sealing structure 8 from being damaged. The sensor 804 generates a signal with the receiving target, thereby transmitting an electrical signal to the electromagnet 14, and inflating the interior of all the sealed chambers 803 through an external air pump. Since the sealed chamber 803 is connected to the air injection pipe 7, there is a cavity inside the sealed chamber 803, and the sealed chamber itself has ductility. After being fully unfolded, it can fully fit with the adjacent sealed chamber 803, thereby ensuring the sealing between the multiple rotating blocks 801. The bottom is sealed under the elastic action of the auxiliary pressure strip 9 to ensure the sealing of the entire suction cup assembly. When the upper convex point appears, it is also triggered by the electromagnet 14 to push the movable column 10 to cooperate with the pressure of the elastic paddle 13, thereby completing the sealing of the convex point part.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
