[0027] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4 , is a retractable flexible climbing device, comprising a first adjustable frame, a second adjustable frame, a flexible body 1, a driving device and a controller. The first adjustable frame and the second adjustable frame are both provided with a retracting device 2 with adjustable length, which is used to adjust the overall size of the frame. The flexible body 1 is connected between the first adjustable frame and the second adjustable frame, and is used to control and maintain a stable distance between the two frames, while reducing damage to the surface of the object being climbed.

[0028] The lengths of the first adjustable frame and the second adjustable frame can be adjusted by the contraction device 2. The contraction device 2 includes a plurality of telescopic rods, which are extended and retracted under the control of the driving device, thereby changing the size of the frame, so that the device can adapt to climbing objects of different diameters.

[0029] The flexible body 1 is made of high-strength elastic material with good flexibility and durability. It is evenly distributed between the two frames, providing uniform support and control. When the size of the frame is adjusted, the flexible body 1 also expands and contracts accordingly, maintaining the stability of the device and the fit to the object being climbed.

[0030] The driving device includes a motor and a gear set, which are precisely controlled by the controller. The motor drives the gear set to rotate, thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod and the flexible body 1. The controller receives external control signals, analyzes and generates corresponding control instructions through the data processing module, and the drive control module controls the operation of the driving device according to these instructions.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, each frame has two sets of slide rail devices 3, and the two sets of slide rail devices are connected by a retractable rod. The slide rail device 3 is composed of two layers of slide rail structures, and the two layers of slide rail structures can slide relative to each other. A trolley or robot 4 is also slidably arranged on the slide rail structure, which can move freely on the slide rail to perform specific tasks, such as detection, maintenance or cleaning.

[0032] A connected cooling channel is also formed inside the flexible body 1, including an inlet area, a heat dissipation area and an outlet area, which helps to effectively dissipate the heat generated when the device works for a long time and maintain the performance and stability of the device.

[0033] Workflow:

[0034] In the initial state, the device is in a collapsed state, which is convenient for carrying and transportation.

[0035] After arriving at the work site, the size of the frame is adjusted through the controller according to the diameter of the object being climbed, so that the device fits tightly to the surface of the object.

[0036] The flexible body 1 automatically expands and contracts according to the adjustment of the frame, so as to maintain the stability of the device and protect the object being climbed.

[0037] If necessary, the cart or robot 4 can move on the slide rails to perform specific tasks.

[0038] During operation, the controller continuously monitors the status of the device and adjusts the operation of the drive device as needed to ensure the stability and efficiency of the device.

[0039] After the work is completed, the device is restored to its original state through the controller to facilitate next use.

[0040] The climbing device of the present invention realizes effective climbing and operation of large irregular objects through its unique adjustable frame, flexible body design and integrated drive and control system, and has broad application prospects.

[0041] 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.
