[0035] It should be noted that the moving wheels 11 and the auxiliary wheels 26 can be made of rubber wheels with a relatively high friction coefficient, or can be replaced with wheels that are more suitable for the environment, such as those that are non-slip, high temperature resistant, and salt-alkali resistant, according to the use environment; It should be noted that when the first telescopic member 18 drives the second magnetic member 14 to approach the wall 40, the wall 40 and the second magnetic member 14 have an adsorption force, so that the first telescopic member 18 has a pulling force on the tension and compression sensor, so that the external control device can obtain real-time feedback of the tension value, so that the user can control the first telescopic member 18 through the external control device to ensure that the tension is within the required range, so that the wall-climbing robot can be adsorbed on the wall 40.

[0036] A swing arm structure, which is arranged on the top of the mounting plate 2 near the first end, is used to connect the working structure and drive the working structure to move, so as to complete rust removal, anti-corrosion painting and coating measurement on the wall surface 40; Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the swing arm structure includes a first rotating device, and the first rotating device includes a second driving member 27. Optionally, the second driving member 27 is an integrated worm gear reducer motor; the second driving member 27 is provided with a second mounting bracket 28 on both side walls in the second direction, and the bottom of the second mounting bracket 28 is arranged on the top of the mounting plate 2, and optionally, the second mounting bracket 28 is connected by a mounting member, and the mounting member can be a screw; The second driving member 27 has a second driving portion on its top, and a fixing block 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the second driving portion; The swing arm structure also includes an operating swing arm, which includes two parallel connecting plates 30, a plurality of connecting rods 31 are symmetrically arranged between the two connecting plates 30, and both ends of the connecting rods 31 are fixedly connected to the two connecting plates 30 respectively, one end of the connecting plate 30 is hinged to the fixed block 29, and the other end is provided with a quick change device; Further, the quick-change device includes a quick-change kit 32, which is sleeved on one end of the working swing arm away from the fixed block 29 and connected to the connecting plate 30 through a mounting member, and the quick-change kit 32 has a third mounting portion 33 for mounting the working structure; Furthermore, the swing arm structure also includes a second rotating device, a fixed plate 34 is fixedly sleeved on the second driving part, and the end of the fixed plate 34 away from the second driving member 27 has a fourth connecting part, and the two connecting plates 30 are also provided with a support rod 35, and the two ends of the support rod 35 are respectively fixedly connected to the two connecting plates 30, and the second rotating device includes a second telescopic member 36, and the second telescopic member 36 has a second connecting end and a second telescopic end, and the second connecting end is hingedly connected to the fourth connecting part, and the second telescopic end is hingedly connected to the support rod 35; Therefore, by starting the second driving member 27, the second driving part rotates, which can drive the working swing arm, the working structure and the second rotating device to rotate around the second driving member. Starting the second telescopic member 36 can drive the working swing arm and the working structure to rotate around the fixed block 29, so that the working structure can cope with the complex environment of the surface of large metal structures such as the bridge (gantry) machine of the hydropower station, and realize the posture adjustment of the working structure.

[0037] like Figure 7 As shown, two visual cameras 37 are provided at the first end and the second end of the vehicle body frame 1. The visual cameras 37 are electrically connected to the external control device and can display the video image of the position of the wall-climbing robot in real time; Both ends of the vehicle frame 1 in the second direction are provided with safety anti-fall rings 38 for connecting safety ropes to prevent the wall-climbing robot from falling and being damaged; A waterproof casing 39 is also provided on the vehicle body frame 1 .

[0038] Working principle: The wall-climbing robot is operated by a person operating an external control device. The first driving member 9, the first telescopic member 18, the second driving member 27 and the second telescopic member 36 are all electrically connected to the external control device. The wall-climbing robot can move forward, backward and turn on the wall 40 in coordination with the video image fed back in real time by the visual camera 37, and can move the auxiliary magnetic device and the swing arm structure. Before use, the spacing between the first magnetic device and the second magnetic device is adjusted according to the array arrangement of the high-strength bolts 12 of the hydropower station bridge (gate) machine to be operated, such as Figure 8As shown, it is optional to replace a suitable mounting plate 2 or adjust the position of the second magnetic device on the mounting plate 2 so that the first magnetic member 5 and the second magnetic member 14 can avoid the high-strength bolts 12 arranged in an array, and the first magnetic member 5 and the second magnetic member 14 can pass through the gaps between adjacent high-strength bolts 12 to avoid collision, thereby achieving the purpose of stable adsorption, while reducing damage to the high-strength bolts 12 and surrounding materials, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of the operation; since the height of the high-strength bolts 12 is higher than the wall 40, if the first magnetic member 5 and the second magnetic member 14 pass through the top of the high-strength bolts 12, the adsorption force is small and it is easy to fall off, so the first magnetic member 5 and the second magnetic member 14 pass through the gaps between adjacent high-strength bolts 12, which can ensure that they do not fall off due to insufficient adsorption force; When the wall-climbing robot moves on the wall 40, the first end is the front end and the second end is the rear end. Fig. 9 As shown, when the wall-climbing robot needs to make a transition on the outer right-angle wall 40, when the wall-climbing robot moves to the transition position, in order to ensure safety, the user needs to control the second driving member 27 through an external control device to move the working swing arm and the working structure to the second end, and the moving wheel 11 located at the first end first reaches the limit position of the first wall 40. At this time, the user uses the external control device to make the auxiliary wheel 26 and the second magnetic attraction member 14 close to the wall 40 to provide a greater adsorption force for the wall-climbing robot; The wall-climbing robot continues to move forward, and the moving wheel 11 at the first end leaves the first wall 40, and its adsorption force suddenly decreases. Through the real-time feedback of the tension value by the tension and compression sensor, the user controls the first telescopic member 18 through the external control device to ensure that the tension is within the required range, so that the wall-climbing robot can be adsorbed on the wall 40. At the same time, the 225° first magnetic member 5 can ensure that the moving wheel 11 can always have adsorption force on the wall 40 when passing through the transition position of the wall 40. The wall-climbing robot is controlled to continue to move forward, and the moving wheel 11 at the first end contacts the second wall 40, thereby completing the transition of the outer right-angle wall 40. After that, the wall-climbing robot is controlled to continue to move forward, and the moving wheel 11 at the first end and the moving wheel 11 at the second end The first magnetic member 5 has an adsorption force on the wall 40, and continued movement enables the auxiliary wheel 26 to pass through the transition point of the wall 40. Then the wall-climbing robot continues to move, and the moving wheel 11 at the second end reaches the limit position of the first wall 40. At this time, the first magnetic member 5 and the second magnetic member 14 at the first end both adsorb the wall 40, and the wall-climbing robot is controlled to continue to move. The moving wheel 11 at the second end leaves the first wall 40, and its adsorption force suddenly decreases. Through the tension value fed back in real time by the tension and compression sensor, the user controls the first telescopic member 18 through the external control device to ensure that the tension is within the required range, so that the wall-climbing robot can be adsorbed on the wall 40 until the wall-climbing robot as a whole completes the transition to the outer right-angle wall 40; When the wall-climbing robot needs to make a transition on the inner right-angle wall 40, such as Fig.10 As shown, in order to avoid collision between the working structure and the wall 40, before the wall-climbing robot moves to the inner right angle, the user needs to use an external control device to drive the swing arm structure to move the working structure to the side of the wall-climbing robot and lift the working structure to a certain height. First, the moving wheel 11 at the first end is controlled to reach the transition point of the wall 40 and contact the vertical wall 40. The adsorption force of the first magnetic component 5 can enable the moving wheel 11 at the first end to stably crawl on the vertical wall 40. After the first end passes through the transition point of the wall 40, the rear end of the front body will have a certain upward tendency, and the front end of the rear body will also have a certain upward tendency. The entire body is rigidly connected, and the rear body exerts a certain thrust on the front body. The 225° magnetic angle of the first magnetic component 5 can ensure that the moving wheel 11 at the first end and the moving wheel 11 at the second end are both adsorbed on the wall 40. Then, the wall-climbing robot is controlled to continue moving, and the moving wheel 11 at the second end reaches the transition point of the wall 40 and passes through the transition point of the wall 40 under the adsorption force of the first magnetic component 5.
