Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of wall-climbing robots, and in particular relates to an adaptive magnetic wall-climbing robot. Background Art
[0002] A wall-climbing robot is a special robot that can be equipped with specific tools to perform operations in a space wall environment. It can replace humans to complete multiple tasks in high-altitude and high-risk environments, including ship rust removal and spraying, large building exterior wall cleaning, anti-terrorism reconnaissance operations, paint inspection of large oil tanks in the petrochemical industry, other metal tank capacity measurement, and large wind turbine blade maintenance.
[0003] Most of the existing wall-climbing robots use permanent magnets as their main adsorption devices. Although this ensures the stability of the robot on the wall to a certain extent, it also brings significant problems. For example, the mass of the permanent magnet is usually large, which increases the overall weight of the robot and affects its movement efficiency and flexibility. In addition, when the robot faces a large curvature surface or needs to cross an obstacle, the permanent magnet is easy to come into direct contact with the wall, resulting in excessive adsorption force, making it difficult for the robot to move or adjust its posture flexibly, and may even cause the magnet to be damaged due to the magnet's close fit to the wall, which seriously hinders the robot's ability to operate in a complex environment. For example, Chinese patent CN115946789 B discloses a wheeled magnetic adsorption wall-climbing robot, which uses a passive posture change device with multi-dimensional displacement and rotation functions to avoid the phenomenon of motor asynchronism when the magnetic adsorption wall-climbing robot walks on a non-flat work surface, but it is large in size, heavy in weight, and complex in structure. When operating in a small and complex space, it is easy to have problems such as inflexible movement and easy damage to components. Therefore, it is urgent to study a new wall-climbing robot in order to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

The first permanent magnet and the fifth permanent magnet serve as the first permanent magnet of each group of permanent magnets, and the magnetization direction is radially inward magnetization. The second permanent magnet and the sixth permanent magnet serve as the second permanent magnet of each group of permanent magnets, and the magnetization direction is circumferentially clockwise magnetization. The third permanent magnet and the seventh permanent magnet serve as the third permanent magnet of each group of permanent magnets, and the magnetization direction is radially outward magnetization. The fourth permanent magnet and the eighth permanent magnet serve as the fourth permanent magnet of each group of permanent magnets, and the magnetization direction is circumferentially counterclockwise magnetization.
