[0020] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Embodiment 1

[0021] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a curvature wall climbing device, which is used to move on the surface of a special-shaped magnetic material. The specific structure includes: a vehicle body 100, the vehicle body 100 includes two frames 110 that are rotatably connected to each other; four wheel bodies 200, the four wheel bodies 200 are symmetrically connected to the two frames 110, and any of the wheel bodies 200 are connected to an adsorption member 230, and the adsorption member 230 is arranged toward the wall to be moved; two adjustment mechanisms 300, the two adjustment mechanisms 300 are respectively arranged in the two frames 110, Any of the adjustment mechanisms 300 includes a linkage assembly 310, and the linkage assembly 310 includes a guide column 311, a slider 312 and two rotating parts 313, wherein the guide column 311 extends along the height direction of the vehicle body 100, and the slider 312 is slidably connected to the guide column 311, and one end of the two rotating parts 313 is rotationally connected to the slider 312, and the other end is rotationally connected to the two wheel bodies 200 on the same frame body 110 to adjust the deflection angle of the two wheel bodies 200.

[0022] The curvature wall climbing device described in this embodiment continuously and adaptively adjusts the actual moving angles of the four wheels 200 through two adjustment mechanisms 300, so that it can always move in close contact with the wall in cooperation with the adsorption member 230, and can ensure the stability of its movement process even when facing walls with irregular shapes, uneven surfaces or large inclination angles, greatly reducing the risk of the vehicle body 100 slipping, colliding or even falling due to insufficient contact surface of the wheel body 200.

[0023] See also Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle body 100 in this embodiment also includes a load-bearing plate 140, which is supported on the frame 110 and is preferably a rectangular plate. In actual use, the load-bearing plate 140 is mainly used to carry items to be transported. In addition, it can also serve as a supporting installation platform to facilitate the connection and fixation of other structures.

[0024] In this embodiment, two frames 110 are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the vehicle body 100, and the two frames 110 in this embodiment have the same structure. Here, one of the frames 110 is taken as an example to introduce the structure: Figure 2 As shown, the frame 110 in this embodiment is hollow inside, and the inside is used to install the adjustment mechanism 300. The two sides in the width direction are connected to the outside to facilitate the connection between the adjustment mechanism 300 and the corresponding wheel body 200. Further, the bearing plate 140 is supported on one of the frames 110, so that during the movement, the bearing plate 140 can be adjusted synchronously with the frame 110 connected to it to improve its stability. Specifically, in this embodiment, the wheel body 200 installed on the frame 110 connected with the bearing plate 140 is the front wheel, and the wheel body 200 installed on the other frame 110 is the rear wheel. During the movement of this device, the front wheel is mainly used for guidance, and the rear wheel is mainly used for adjustment. Therefore, the stability of the front wheel frame 110 is higher, and correspondingly, the stability of the bearing plate 140 is also higher.

[0025] Furthermore, in order to realize the connection structure of relative rotation between the two frames 110, the vehicle body 100 further includes a first rotating shaft 120 and at least one reset member 130, the two ends of the first rotating shaft 120 are respectively connected to the two frames 110, the two frames 110 rotate around the central axis of the first rotating shaft 120, and the two ends of at least one reset member 130 are respectively connected to the two frames 110.

Furthermore, the reset member 130 in this embodiment is preferably a compression spring, which is used to provide elastic restoring force for the frames 110, so that the vehicle body 100 can better fit the wall during the actual movement process. In other embodiments, the reset element 130 may also be configured as other elements with elastic recovery effect, and the present invention does not limit its specific setting position and setting quantity.

[0026] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the adjustment mechanism 300 in this embodiment is used to adjust the opening and closing angles between the corresponding wheel bodies 200 to improve the degree of adhesion of the wheel bodies 200 to the wall, and includes a main control component 320, and the main control component 320 includes a power supply 321 and an electric control module 322, and the electric control module 322 is connected to the power supply 321, and the electric control module 322 adjusts the movement of the slider 312. Based on the setting of the main control component 320, the wall climbing device in this embodiment can perform active adaptive adjustment. Specifically, the main control component 320 also includes an opening and closing driver 324 and at least one displacement sensor 323, and the opening and closing driver 324 and at least one displacement sensor 323 are respectively connected to the electric control module 322 by signal, wherein the displacement sensor 323 is set toward the wall, and the electric control module 322 drives the slider 312 to move through the opening and closing driver 324. Based on the above structure, when the displacement sensor 323 detects that the wall surface is uneven, it can convert the distance information into an electrical signal and feed it back to the electric control module 322, and then the electric control module 322 drives and adjusts the opening and closing driver 324 so that the wheel body 200 can perform an active adjustment process. This setting can improve the accuracy of the movement of the wheel body 200 and the controllability of the operator, thereby enabling the wall climbing device to achieve the best operating effect. In this embodiment, two displacement detectors are provided, both of which are preferably infrared distance detectors, and both are connected near the front wheel to improve their detection sensitivity. The present invention does not limit the specific setting position of the displacement sensor 323.

[0027] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability between the wheel body 200 and the frame body 110, the adjustment mechanism 300 further includes two connecting frames 314 that are relatively rotatably connected, and the two connecting frames 314 are arranged around the linkage assembly 310 and are respectively connected to the corresponding wheel body 200.

[0028] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the wheel body 200 includes two coaxially arranged moving wheels 210 and an extension wheel 220, wherein the extension wheel 220 is connected between the two moving wheels 210, and the diameter of the extension wheel 220 is smaller than that of the moving wheel 210, wherein the moving wheel 210 moves along the wall surface, and the adsorbent 230 is connected to the extension wheel 220 and is spaced apart from the wall surface. Among them, the extension wheel 220 can provide a mounting platform for the adsorbent 230, and the diameter difference between the extension wheel 220 and the moving wheel 210 also provides an escape space for the adsorbent 230. During the movement of the vehicle body 100, the extension wheel 220 is in a fixed state, and the moving wheel 210 is in a rotating state, thereby ensuring that the adsorbent 230 is always arranged toward the wall surface. Further, the wall surface in this embodiment is a magnetic wall surface, and the adsorbent 230 is preferably a magnet, which relies on magnetic force to increase the connection strength between the wheel body 200 and the wall surface, and does not increase the friction between the two. Embodiment 2

[0029] This embodiment provides another curvature wall climbing device, and the structural arrangement of its vehicle body 100, wheel body 200 and linkage assembly 310 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and no further elaboration is made here. In order to further reduce the production cost of the device and simplify the structural arrangement, an adaptive assembly 330 is used in this embodiment to replace the main control assembly 320, so that the device can spontaneously and passively adapt to the wall surface changes. Specifically, the adjustment mechanism 300 also includes an adaptive assembly 330, and the adaptive assembly 330 includes a butt plate 331 and an elastic member 332, and the butt plate 331 and the top plate of the frame 110 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the elastic member 332, wherein the butt plate 331 is in contact with the slider 312. Specifically, the elastic member 332 is preferably a spring, so that the adaptive adjustment process can be achieved by squeezing the elastic member 332 during the movement of the wheel body 200. Embodiment 3

[0030] This embodiment provides a mobile device, which includes the curvature wall climbing device described in the first embodiment.

[0031] In summary, the curvature wall climbing equipment and moving device described in the present invention continuously and adaptively adjust the actual moving angles of the four wheels 200 through two adjustment mechanisms 300, so that it can always move in close contact with the wall in cooperation with the adsorption member 230, and can ensure the stability of its moving process even when facing irregular shapes, uneven surfaces or walls with large inclination angles, greatly reducing the risk of the vehicle body 100 slipping, colliding or even falling due to insufficient contact surface of the wheel body 200. Based on the above design, compared with conventional wall climbing equipment at this stage, this application has significant advantages such as easy operation, high degree of fit and stable moving process, and has broad prospects for use in this industry.

[0032] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description.
