Negative pressure adsorption is a commonly used adsorption method for wall-climbing robots. It has the advantage of not being restricted by wall materials and can be adsorbed on a variety of surfaces, including non-metallic materials such as glass and tiles. However, in order to generate negative pressure, traditional systems usually need to rely on equipment such as fans or vacuum pumps, which not only increases the weight of the robot, but also consumes a lot of energy, resulting in higher energy consumption. These problems will cause wall-climbing robots to face challenges such as low load capacity, short continuous working time, and poor endurance. Summary of the invention

[0021] 1) Enhanced adsorption and stability: By adopting magnetically controlled suction cup technology, the wall-climbing robot can directly use magnetic force to control the adsorption and desorption of the magnetically controlled suction cup, without relying on the negative pressure generated by the fan or vacuum pump. This ensures the stable operation of the wall-climbing robot on various inclined or vertical walls, and greatly improves its adaptability and safety in complex environments.

[0023] 3) Flexibility and maneuverability: The tracked structure gives the robot good ground adaptability and can easily cross small obstacles or uneven areas on the wall. The foldable design further improves its flexibility and space utilization efficiency, making it easy to operate in a small space or for rapid deployment. In addition, each suction cup is controlled by an independent magnetically controlled pneumatic device, which can achieve precise adsorption and release operations, improving the robot's maneuverability and reaction speed in complex environments.
[0024] 4) Low noise and environmental protection: Compared with traditional wall-climbing robots that use fans or vacuum pumps, the design based on magnetically controlled suction cups produces almost no noise during operation, greatly improving the working environment and reducing interference to surrounding personnel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0036] like Figure 1 The foldable crawler wall-climbing robot based on a magnetically controlled suction cup shown includes a folding structure, a crawler transmission structure connected to two free ends of the folding structure, a driving structure for driving the crawler transmission structure to rotate, and a plurality of magnetically controlled suction cups arranged on the crawler transmission structure.
[0037] The folding structure includes a folding plate 14 and a folding frame 12 rotatably connected to both sides of the folding plate 14. The folding frame 12 and the folding plate 14 are connected by a rotating shaft. A folding connecting frame 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the folding frame 12 close to the folding plate 14. A steering engine 17 with a rudder arm 16 is embedded in the folding plate 14. The output shaft of the steering engine 17 is rotatably connected to the middle of the rudder arm 16. Both ends of the rudder arm 16 are rotatably connected to a steering engine connecting rod 15 whose ends are also rotatably connected to the corresponding folding connecting frame 13. Specifically, hollow holes are provided on the folding plate 14 and the folding frame 12 to facilitate weight reduction. The folding connecting frame 13 is in an arc shape that bends toward one side of the folding plate 14, and the rudder arm 16 is in an olive shape that is wide in the middle and narrow at both ends. The free end of one of the steering engine connecting rods 15 connected to the two ends of the rudder arm 16 is connected to the upper part of the corresponding folding connecting frame 13, and the free end of the other is also connected to the upper part of the corresponding folding connecting frame 13. This structural design realizes the flexible adjustment of the folding frame 12 and enhances the robot's ability to adapt to different angles and complex wall surfaces.
[0038] When the angle or curvature of the wall changes, the steering gear 17 rotates, the rudder arm 16 pulls the steering gear connecting rod 15, and then drives the folding frame 12 to fold through the folding connecting frame 13, so that the wall-climbing robot can always cling to the wall, thereby achieving adaptive fitting. This design enables the wall-climbing robot to flexibly adapt to walls of various angles and curvatures.
[0039] The crawler transmission structure includes two crawler wheels 4, crawler belts 3 connected to the crawler wheels 4, crawler wheel connecting frames 5 for connecting the crawler wheels 4, and several connecting support frames 6 connected between the crawler wheel connecting frames 5. The crawler wheel connecting frames 5 are respectively connected to the inner and outer sides of the crawler wheels 4, and the connecting support frames 6 play the role of supporting and connecting the crawler wheel connecting frames 5 in each set of crawler transmission structures. The crawler transmission structure also includes an L-shaped magnet guide rail support frame 7 fixedly mounted on the crawler wheel connecting frame 5 by fixing screws 9, and a magnet guide rail 8 is fixedly connected to the free end below the magnet guide rail support frame 7 to provide the necessary magnetic environment for the system. The magnet guide rails 8 in each set of crawler transmission structures are parallel to each other and are magnets with the same magnetic polarity. All parts that need to be fixedly connected in the crawler transmission structure are firmly installed by fixing screws 9 to ensure that the structure is stable and reliable. The crawler magnetic control sucker structure composed of a magnetic control sucker and a crawler transmission structure has a modular characteristic, and the crawler magnetic control sucker structures on both sides are symmetrically distributed relative to the central cross section of the folding structure. The magnet guide rail support frame 7 connected to the magnet guide rail 8 is installed on the track wheel connecting frame 5 on both sides of each group of tracked transmission structures, and the magnet guide rail support frame 7 is symmetrically distributed along the central cross section of the tracked transmission structure.
[0040] The driving structure includes a motor 10 corresponding to the track wheel 4 and a motor fixing frame 11 mounted outside the motor 10. The motor fixing frame 11 is fixedly mounted on a folding frame 12 of the folding structure. The output shaft of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the input shaft of the corresponding track wheel 4 through a coupling. Specifically, the motor 10 is installed through the motor fixing frame 11 at both ends of the folding frame 12 close to the track wheel 4. The motor 10 provides driving force for the track wheel 4 in the crawler transmission structure. The motor 10 uses a DC reduction motor with an encoder, which can achieve precise speed and position control. The reduction motor reduces the speed and increases the torque through gear transmission, making it suitable for heavy-load applications. The integration of the encoder enables the control system to monitor the motor status in real time and realize closed-loop control, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the system.
[0041] Six sets of magnetically controlled suction cups are fixedly mounted on the tracks 3 in each set of crawler-type transmission structures. The six magnetically controlled suction cups are embedded in the tracks 3 in parallel and evenly. The magnetically controlled suction cups include magnetically controlled valves 2 and suction cups 1 embedded in the magnetically controlled valves 2. The structure of the magnetically controlled suction cups is shown in FIG. Figure 2 , Figure 2 (a) Figure 2As shown in (b), the flexible edge of the suction cup 1 is bonded with a soft silicone cavity membrane 22, while the suction cup cavity is not bonded, ensuring the sealing and adaptability of the suction cup cavity. The magnetic control valve 2 is L-shaped and has an L-shaped channel adapted to its structure. The magnetic control valve 2 channel parallel to the suction cup 1 is provided with a rubber piston 21 similar to a syringe and a telescopic spring 19 and a magnetic piston connector 18 connected to the rubber piston 21. A circular magnet 20 is embedded in the rubber piston 21. One end of the magnetic piston connector 18 is circular, and its diameter matches the diameter of the magnetic control valve 2 channel, so it is easy to embed it in the magnetic control valve 2 channel; the other end is rectangular, so it is easy to firmly fix the magnetic piston connector 18 on the magnetic control valve 2. Under the action of the telescopic spring 19, the rubber piston 21 in the magnetic control valve 2 is always kept in its transverse cavity, ensuring the sealing of the suction cup 1 cavity. As shown Figure 3 As shown, the magnetic piston connector 18 is parallel to the magnet guide rail 8. The magnet piston connectors 18 of all magnetically controlled chucks are embedded in the same direction to ensure that each magnetically controlled chuck can perform periodic repeated movements. The magnet guide rails 8 on both sides are parallel to the magnetically controlled valve 2 and close to the magnet piston connector 18 in the magnetically controlled valve.
[0042] Components such as batteries and control boards can be installed on the folding plate 14 to provide power for the driving mechanism and realize remote control.
[0043] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 4 (a) Figure 4 As shown in (b), the magnetically controlled sucker works in coordination with the magnet guide rails 8 on both sides. The magnet guide rails 8 are installed on both sides of the crawler-type transmission structure close to the wall, and the inside of the magnetically controlled sucker remains sealed. When the magnetically controlled sucker installed on the crawler 3 moves to the action range of the magnet guide rails along with the crawler-type transmission structure, the magnet guide rails 8 on both sides respectively attract and repel the circular magnet 20 in the magnetically controlled valve 2, thereby compressing the telescopic spring 19, driving the rubber piston 21 to suck the air in the sucker cavity, reducing the pressure in the magnetically controlled sucker cavity, and causing the soft silicone cavity membrane 22 adhered to the flexible edge of the sucker 1 to shrink, thereby achieving wall adsorption of the sucker. When the magnetically controlled sucker moves out of the action range of the magnet guide rails 8 along with the crawler-type transmission structure, the circular magnet 20 in the magnetically controlled valve 2 loses its magnetic force, the telescopic spring 19 resets, resulting in deflation, increasing the pressure in the cavity, and expanding the soft silicone cavity membrane 22, thereby causing the sucker to detach from the wall. The magnetically controlled suction cup cooperates with the magnet guide rails 8 on both sides, and along with the cyclic movement of the crawler transmission structure, the air extraction and degassing process is completed, thereby realizing the conversion between adsorption and desorption of the wall-climbing robot.
[0044] The magnetically controlled sucker of the wall-climbing robot is composed of a sucker 1 and a magnetically controlled valve 2. A soft silicone cavity film 22 is adhered to the edge of the sucker 1 to enhance the sealing and adaptability during adsorption. The magnetically controlled valve 2 integrates a circular magnet 20, a rubber piston 21, a telescopic spring 19 and a magnetic suction piston connector 18. Through the magnetic force of the magnet 20 and the magnet guide rail 8, the rubber piston 21 is controlled to evacuate and deflate, so as to achieve the adsorption and desorption of the sucker 1. No fan or vacuum pump is required, which significantly reduces the weight and improves the load capacity and energy efficiency. The crawler transmission structure is composed of a crawler 3, a crawler wheel 4, a crawler wheel connecting frame 5, a connecting support frame 6, a magnet guide rail support frame 7, and a magnet guide rail 8. The magnet guide rail 8 is fixed by the magnet guide rail support frame 7 to provide a stable magnetic environment for the magnetically controlled sucker and ensure the stable movement of the robot on the wall. The driving structure is powered by a DC reduction motor with an encoder, which is installed on the folding frame 12 through a motor fixing frame 11.
[0045] like Figure 5 middle Figure 5 (a) Figure 5 (b) Figure 5 (c) and Figure 6 As shown, the folding structure is composed of a folding frame 12, a folding connecting frame 13, a folding plate 14, a steering gear 17, a rudder arm 16 and a steering gear connecting rod 15. The steering gear 17 controls the extension and folding of the folding frame 12 through the rudder arm 16 and the steering gear connecting rod 15, so that the robot can flexibly adapt to walls of different angles and curvatures.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
