Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to weld milling processing in the field of steel structure storage tanks, and in particular to a magnetic wall-climbing milling robot. Background Art
[0002] Large storage tanks are a typical welded structure, and they are formed by splicing multiple plates or multiple structures. The joints need to be welded, and welds will be formed at the joints. Whether it is welding on-site at large storage tanks, or non-destructive testing of welds after welding, or regular testing during service, the weld area needs to be polished.
[0003] Existing grinding robots basically use industrial robots equipped with grinding tools to work, or clamp industrial robots and then grind on grinding equipment. They are unable to cope with the surface grinding of large workpieces, especially medium and large containers.
[0004] At present, the main method of weld milling is to use a milling cutter to mill the weld, so that the wall surface where the weld is located is flat, thereby improving the aesthetics of the equipment and avoiding water leakage, air leakage, cracking and other phenomena at the weld, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. When the milling cutter mills the weld, the waste chips will splash, causing environmental pollution.
[0005] The wall-climbing robot is a special robot that combines space mobile platform technology with wall adsorption technology. It can move in dangerous environments such as vertical walls and carry specific tools to complete specific tasks. However, weld milling has a large reaction force on the wall-climbing robot, and it cannot effectively remove the welds of the tank.
[0006] However, the inventors of this application found that the above technology has at least the following technical problems in the process of implementing the technical solution of the invention in the embodiment of this application: In the existing public literature, the disclosed wall-climbing robot patents have the following problems: Chinese patent publication number CN102039592A discloses a multi-body magnetic adsorption adaptive wall climbing robot, which realizes flexible movement and steering on magnetic conductive walls at all positions in space, and spatial surface adaptation, and can perform welding, gouging, cutting, grinding, milling, testing, cleaning or spraying operations. However, the rigidity is not enough, and it is easy to become unstable and vibrate, so milling cannot be realized, and the free up and down installation process of the cylinder cannot be realized; Chinese patent publication number CN110788690A discloses a wall-climbing robot for large tank weld grinding operations. The robot adopts a gap adsorption wheel drive, can move flexibly on the surface of the large tank, has a large range of movement, and combines the wall-climbing mobile robot with automatic grinding equipment to achieve automatic grinding of large tank welds. However, due to insufficient friction, the upper and lower simplified bodies cannot be hoisted in reality, and there is not enough actual contact between the vehicle body and the cylinder body, so milling that requires very strong rigidity cannot be completed.
[0007] Chinese patent publication number CN117182160A discloses a weld milling device and a wall-climbing robot, in which a chip collection component is provided with a collecting trough, a milling component is arranged inside the collecting trough, the milling component is used to mill the weld, and the chip collection component is used to collect waste chips milled by the milling component through the notch of the collecting trough; however, it does not explain how to climb the wall, so it cannot be determined whether it has sufficient rigidity to meet the milling conditions during the milling process, and there is a problem of how to move up and down the cylinder. Summary of the invention
[0008] In order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, the embodiment of the present application provides a magnetic wall-climbing milling robot to solve the problems of maintaining stability during weld milling and how to perform upper and lower wall operations.
