Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a wall-climbing robot, in particular to a robot body structure. Background Art

[0002] The current special wall-climbing robots that use permanent magnetic adsorption to face metal walls usually require a large driving torque when turning due to their body weight and load weight. The steering torque is often larger than the upward or downward straight-moving torque during conventional operations. To solve this problem, a larger drive device is generally selected to provide a greater driving force to meet the steering requirements, but this often makes the robot heavy and expensive.

[0003] To solve the same problem, there is another idea, which is to reduce the resistance of the robot when turning, so that the selection specifications of the drive device can be reduced, thereby reducing the total weight and cost of the robot. Summary of the invention

[0008] The steering drive module comprises a worm gear reducer and a motor which are connected to each other. A driving gear is arranged below the worm gear reducer, and a steering gear which matches the driving gear is arranged below the sleeve.

[0009] The driving wheel beam and the driven wheel beam are respectively provided with bearing seats at both ends above them, and the driving wheel and the driven wheel are respectively installed in the corresponding bearing seats.

[0010] The two travel drive modules are respectively installed in the bearing seats at the two ends above the driving wheel beam and are connected to the driving wheel.

[0011] Adsorption modules are respectively arranged at two ends below the driving wheel beam and the driven wheel beam.

[0012] A module mounting frame is arranged above the transition plate.

[0013] The advantages of the present invention are: the main body frame is composed of only three beams, with a simple structure, light weight, and easy installation and maintenance; the steering is achieved by using gear transmission to drive the robot's wheel axle, and the steering torque is small; the module mounting frame allows users to customize the installation of various modules according to work requirements, and has strong scalability.
