The side plate part 2 includes a second transfer plate 21, the second transfer plate 21 is provided with two groups of second slope plates 22 along the length direction of the first transfer plate 11, the two groups of second slope plates 22 are respectively arranged at the two end portions of the second transfer plate 21, the second transfer plate 21 is provided with a side guard plate 24 away from the bottom plate part 1, the second slope plate 22 is provided with a second bending groove 23 away from the side guard plate 24, the side guard plate 24 is arranged perpendicularly to the second transfer plate 21, the side guard plate 24 is provided with a handle plate 25 away from the second transfer plate 21, and the handle 4 is installed on the upper surface of the handle plate 25. The first transfer plate 11 is consistent with the length of the second transfer plate 21, the first slope plate 12 is consistent with the length of the second slope plate 22 and has a consistent inclination angle, the first slope plate 12 and the second slope plate 22 are wrapped with U-shaped rubber pads at the bottom ends, so as to prevent scratching the wall surface or the surface of the tank, the first transfer plate 11 has a first lower end surface 111, the first slope plate 12 has a first lower inclined surface 121 and a first bottom surface 122, the first lower inclined surface 121 and the first lower end surface 111 have a first inter-plate included angle a, and the first lower end surface 111 and the first bottom surface 122 have a first vertical spacing f. The second transfer plate 21 has a second lower end surface 211, the second slope plate 22 has a second lower inclined surface 221 and a second bottom surface 222, the second lower inclined surface 221 and the second lower end surface 211 have a second inter-plate included angle b, and the second lower end surface 211 and the second bottom surface 222 have a second vertical spacing g.

[0048] Specifically, when the transfer assembly is bent, the first transfer plate 11 and the second transfer plate 21 form an angle through the hinge 3, the two top corners of the first slope plate 12 and the second slope plate 22 gradually approach, the first bending groove 13 and the second bending groove 23 have consistent shapes, so that the two end sides of the first slope plate 12 and the side of the second slope plate 22 close to the bottom plate part 1 are parallel to the length direction of the first transfer plate 11, and the first bending groove 13 and the second bending groove 23 leave out part of the position, so that the first transfer plate 11 and the second transfer plate 21 can be bent at a large angle, and can be fitted to the curved wall surface or the tank, so that it can be transferred on the plane, and can also be transferred on the curved wall surface or the tank, which is convenient to operate and has high adaptability.

[0049] In use, refer to Figures 7-8, the operator holds two sets of handles 4, and the multiple sets of first slope plates 12 and the two sets of second slope plates 22 above the transfer assembly are attached to the arc-shaped wall or tank body, so that the multiple sets of first slope plates 12 and the two sets of second slope plates 22 below the transfer assembly are in contact with the ground.

When the rollers of the wall-climbing robot are aligned with the first transfer plate 11 and the second transfer plate 21 of the transfer assembly, and the shell of the wall-climbing robot does not scratch the side guard plate 24, the wall-climbing robot is controlled to enter the transfer assembly. When the rollers of the wall-climbing robot are all on the transfer assembly, the operator can directly lift the transfer assembly away from the working area, or continue to control the wall-climbing robot to move until the wall-climbing robot reaches the ground and then stows the transfer assembly.

[0050] Embodiment two, refer to Figure 6 , the first bending groove 13 and the second bending groove 23 can also be outwardly opened, so that they have more bending angles and can better fit the arc-shaped wall or tank body. At the same time, the outwardly opened first bending groove 13 and the second bending groove 23 can avoid the problem that the two top corners of the first slope plate 12 and the second slope plate 22 are pressed against each other or one top corner presses the other top corner due to bending, so that the wall-climbing robot cannot normally move onto the transfer assembly.

[0051] Embodiment three, a working method of a magnetic wall-climbing robot transfer assembly, using the above-mentioned magnetic wall-climbing robot transfer assembly, comprising the following steps:

[0052] S1, detecting the rollers and chassis of the magnetic wall-climbing robot to obtain magnetic parameters and bottom-touching parameters; wherein the magnetic parameters include the magnetic force F between the magnet and the iron sheet, the magnetic induction intensity B, the effective area A of the magnetic pole, and the thickness t of the spacer; the bottom-touching parameters include the wheelbase L between the front and rear rollers of the magnetic wall-climbing robot and the minimum ground clearance h between the chassis of the magnetic wall-climbing robot and the wall.

[0053] S2, calculating the plate distance d according to the magnetic parameters, the value of d being equal to the value of the first vertical distance f and the value of the second vertical distance g;

[0054] wherein the calculation formula of the plate distance d is:

[0055]

[0056] wherein μ0 is the vacuum permeability, μ r is the relative permeability of iron;

[0057] Assumption: the vacuum permeability μ0=4π×10 -7 (H / m), the magnetic induction intensity B=1 (T), the effective area A of the magnetic pole=0.01 (m 2 ), and the relative permeability of iron μr =1000, magnetic force F=6.27x10 -8 (N), spacer thickness t=0.005 (m);

[0058] Substituting the formula can be obtained d=0.01-0.000005 (m)≈9.995 (mm).

[0059] The most appropriate plate spacing d value is calculated by the above formula, when the wall climbing robot moves to the transfer assembly, the wall climbing robot is attracted by the first transfer plate 11 or the second transfer plate 21, and the distance between the wall climbing robot and the wall is greater than or equal to d, and no longer attracted between the wall surface or the tank, so as to be separated from the surface, realize the transfer function of the wall climbing robot.

[0060] S3, according to the bottom data, the slope angle θ and the bending angle γ are calculated, the value of γ is equal to the value of the first plate angle a and the value of the second plate angle b;

[0061] The calculation formula of the bending angle γ is:

[0062]

[0063] Wherein, the plate spacing d is equal to the length of the first transfer plate (11) or the length of the second transfer plate (21), and the minimum ground clearance h is equal to the wheelbase L, 。

[0064] Assume: the minimum ground clearance h=50 (mm), the wheelbase L=150 (mm);

[0065] Substituting the formula can be obtained θ≈19.47°, γ≈160.53°.

[0066] S4, according to the plate spacing d and the slope angle θ, the length of the inclined side i is calculated;

[0067] The calculation formula of the length of the inclined side i is:

[0068]

[0069] According to the above assumption, substituting the formula can be obtained, i≈30 (mm).

[0070] Through the above formula, the shortest length of the inclined side i of the wall climbing robot can be calculated without scratching the chassis, that is, the length of the shortest first slope plate 12 or second slope plate 22, which avoids the problem that the wall climbing robot cannot directly climb the transfer assembly due to the too high plate spacing d.

[0071] S5, first according to the bottom plate 1 or side plate 2 of the outer contour and the first slope plate 12 or the second slope plate 22 length i of the slope edge cutting sheet metal, then according to the bottom plate 1 or side plate 2 of the shape structure and the first slope plate 12 or the second slope plate 22 bending angle γ bending sheet metal, finally through the hinge 3 connects a plurality of bottom plate 1 and two groups of side plate 2, complete the manufacturing of the transfer assembly.

[0072] In summary, the transfer assembly manufactured by the above method can be used for the magnetic roller type wall climbing robot and the electromagnetic type wall climbing robot, has high adaptability, and the manufacturing cost is not high.

[0073] Obviously, the above described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
