Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a wall-climbing robot, specifically a curved surface adaptive mobile wall-climbing robot for cleaning generator stators. Background Technology

[0002] In the full inspection of hydro-generator units, the stator winding cleaning process requires chemical cleaning of the ventilation holes at the upper and lower ends of the stator and the gaps between the channel steel and silicon steel sheet composite structures after the rotor is removed. This process is directly related to the heat dissipation efficiency and operational reliability of the unit. Traditional high-pressure gas-driven tools (air jet / spray / sandblasting type) have significant technical bottlenecks in implementation: the air jet device has poor operability in a confined space due to its bulky structure; the high-temperature steam accompanying spray cleaning can easily cause insulation aging and core moisture absorption risks; and the sandblasting process has the potential for media residue and substrate damage. More importantly, current cleaning solutions generally rely on manual operation, which faces multiple systemic defects—operators are exposed to toxic electrical cleaning agents for extended periods, and limited protective equipment and slippery working surfaces significantly increase occupational health risks; it is difficult to balance manual cleaning efficiency with surface coverage, especially when dealing with irregular ventilation holes formed by the stacked silicon steel sheet structure, where traditional rigid tools cannot achieve three-dimensional surface adaptive fitting, resulting in a cleaning blind spot rate of over 30%. Existing hole cleaning tools have limitations in their application and cannot adequately meet the needs of cleaning generator stators. Summary of the Invention

[0019] II. A cleaning method for a curved surface adaptive mobile wall-climbing robot used for cleaning generator stators, comprising:

[0020] When the curved surface adaptive mobile wall-climbing robot cleans the generator stator, it first rotates a knob to make the distance between each copper sleeve in the lifting component and the limiting plate of the adjustable adsorption module reach a preset distance Δd. The magnetic adsorption unit of the adjustable adsorption module assists in adsorbing the stator surface. Then, the wheel motors of each magnetic adsorption wheel drive the wheel hub to rotate, causing the curved surface adaptive mobile wall-climbing robot to move on the stator surface. Simultaneously, the magnets adsorb the wheel hub onto the stator surface until the camera of the second axis arm assembly detects the area to be cleaned, stopping the movement and proceeding to clean the stator holes in the area to be cleaned. First, the first motor of the first axis arm and the second motor of the second axis arm assembly are started, causing the first and second axis arm assemblies to produce joint rotational angular displacement until the spray rod of the spray unit is directly facing the stator hole. The spray solenoid valve controls the spray rod to descend at a uniform speed into the stator hole and release cleaning fluid. After ensuring the hole wall is evenly coated with cleaning fluid, the spray rod is then controlled to rise at a uniform speed away from the stator hole, continuing the process. The system controls the first and second axis arm assemblies to generate joint rotational angular displacement until the brush head of the cleaning brush unit is directly facing the stator hole. The brush head is then controlled by the stepper motor of the lead screw stepper motor and the brush lead screw to descend uniformly into the stator hole and move up and down along the length of the lead screw for cleaning. Simultaneously, the brush head rotates around the central axis of the lead screw for cleaning. After multiple cycles of moving and rotating cleaning, the cleaning stops. The brush head is then controlled to rise uniformly away from the stator hole. The first and second axis arm assemblies are then controlled to generate joint rotational angular displacement until the endoscope of the endoscope unit is directly facing the stator hole. The pen-shaped cylinder is controlled by the cylinder solenoid valve to descend uniformly into the stator hole and observe and check whether the stator hole wall is clean. If it is not clean, the endoscope is controlled to rise uniformly away from the stator hole again, and the cleaning work on the stator hole of the area to be cleaned is repeated. If it is clean, the endoscope is controlled to rise uniformly away from the stator hole, and the camera detects the next area to be cleaned for cleaning.

[0021] This invention's wall-climbing robot features a two-axis arm module equipped with three cleaning units that can dynamically execute cleaning tasks based on the position of the end-effector camera. The cleaning process employs spraying, scrubbing, and inspection steps, improving the efficiency and completeness of stator hole cleaning. The chassis module's two-sided wheel sets consist of three pairs of magnetic adsorption wheels, utilizing a special shock-absorbing suspension structure and rotatable, telescopic wheel hubs to achieve adaptive contact between the chassis hubs and the stator's curved surface. An adjustable adsorption module is located at the bottom of the chassis module, allowing adjustment of the magnet's distance from the ground to coordinate and control the robot's magnetic attraction. The magnetic adsorption wheel sets and the chassis's adjustable adsorption module constitute the robot's magnetic adsorption system. This invention possesses the ability to adaptively move and stably adsorb on the ferromagnetic curved surface of a generator stator, and has the capability for autonomous positioning and cleaning of ventilation holes, enabling efficient and safe automatic stator cleaning.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0023] 1. This invention has the ability to adaptively move and stably adsorb on ferromagnetic curved surfaces. It achieves automatic fitting of the machine body to the working curved surface in different directions through a suspension chassis structure and movable wheel set. The magnetic adsorption capability is enhanced by the synergistic magnetic adsorption of an adjustable adsorption module and three pairs of magnetic adsorption wheels, and the magnetic force is easy to control.

[0024] 2. This invention has the ability to clean holes autonomously. For a large number of stator ventilation holes with a large area, it proposes a spray-wash-inspection cleaning solution, which improves the cleaning efficiency of stator holes, ensures the cleaning completion rate, and reduces the cost of manual cleaning.

[0025] 3. This invention possesses the capability for autonomous hole positioning and cleaning. It employs a high-definition camera to locate and capture holes in the area to be cleaned, and uses an endoscope to observe and evaluate the cleaning effect, thus improving cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, it abandons the conventional method of cleaning while moving, instead using adsorption and fixation within the clean area, utilizing the reach of a two-axis robotic arm to achieve cleaning of large areas of holes.

The pen-shaped cylinder 1291 is electrically connected to a cylinder solenoid valve 127. The cylinder solenoid valve 127 controls the gas flow of the pen-shaped cylinder 1291, indirectly controlling the up and down movement of the guide rod 1293, so that the endoscope 1294 can be fed up and down to adjust the observation height.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown in (b), the first shaft arm 11 includes a first motor 111 and a connecting rod 112. The body of the first motor 111 is mounted on the top surface of one end of the connecting rod 112.

The output flange of the first motor 111 passes through one end of the connecting rod 112 and connects to the top surface of the upper base plate 222. The knob 221 is located inside the hollow part of the output flange. The knob 221 needs to be manually adjusted. The height of the magnetic adsorption unit of the adjustable adsorption module 3 has been pre-set. The first motor 111 and the connecting rod 112 are then mounted on the upper base plate 222 at the location of the knob 221. The top surface of the other end of the connecting rod 112 is connected to... The output shaft of the second motor 124 is connected; the first motor 111 is installed on the upper part of the circular joint of the connecting rod 112.

The connecting rod 112 is installed at the rotating joint of the second shaft arm 12 through the circular joint at the other end, and is driven to rotate by the second motor 124, forming a second-stage rotary joint; the first motor 111 is specifically a RH-17 hollow motor (integrated harmonic module) with dual encoders. The output end disc is a hollow flange with a hollow center; when the output flange of the first motor 111 rotates, the connecting rod 112 is rotated by the body, while the output flange remains stationary.

[0049] The cleaning method of the curved surface adaptive mobile wall-climbing robot for cleaning generator stators of the present invention is as follows:

[0050] like Figure 7As shown, when the curved surface adaptive mobile wall-climbing robot is cleaning the generator stator, it first rotates knob 221 to make the distance between each copper sleeve 2252 in the lifting component 225 and the limiting plate 36 of the adjustable adsorption module 3 reach a preset distance Δd. The magnetic adsorption unit of the adjustable adsorption module 3 assists in adsorbing the stator surface. Then, the wheel motor 2112 of each magnetic adsorption wheel 211 drives the wheel hub 2111 to rotate, making the curved surface adaptive mobile wall-climbing robot move on the stator surface. At the same time, the wheel hub 2111 is adsorbed onto the stator surface by each magnet 2115, until the second shaft arm assembly 1. Camera 125 of unit 2 detects the area to be cleaned, stops moving, and begins cleaning the stator holes in the area. First, it starts the first motor 111 of the first shaft arm 11 and the second motor 124 of the second shaft arm assembly 12, causing the first shaft arm 11 and the second shaft arm assembly 12 to rotate at an angle until the spray rod 1221 of the spray unit 122 is directly facing the stator hole. The spray solenoid valve 123 controls the spray rod 1221 to descend at a constant speed into the stator hole and release cleaning fluid. After ensuring the cleaning fluid is evenly applied to the hole wall, the spray rod 1221 is then controlled to rise at a constant speed away from the stator hole, continuing the process. The first shaft arm 11 and the second shaft arm assembly 12 generate joint rotational angular displacement until the brush head 1284 of the cleaning brush unit 128 is directly facing the stator hole. The stepper motor 1282 of the lead screw stepper motor and the brush lead screw 1281 control the brush head 1284 to descend at a constant speed into the stator hole and move up and down along the length of the brush lead screw 1281 for cleaning. Simultaneously, the brush head 1284 rotates around the central axis of the brush lead screw 1281 for cleaning. After multiple cycles of moving and rotating cleaning, cleaning stops. The brush head 1284 is then controlled to rise at a constant speed away from the stator hole, and the first shaft arm 11 and the second shaft arm assembly continue to be controlled. Component 12 generates a joint rotational angular displacement until the endoscope 1294 of the endoscope unit 129 is directly facing the stator hole. The pen-shaped cylinder 1291 is controlled by the cylinder solenoid valve 127 to make the endoscope 1294 descend into the stator hole at a constant speed and observe and detect whether the stator hole wall is clean. If it is not clean, the endoscope 1294 is controlled to rise at a constant speed and leave the stator hole, and the cleaning work of the stator hole in the area to be cleaned is repeated. If it is clean, the endoscope 1294 is controlled to rise at a constant speed and leave the stator hole, and the next area to be cleaned is detected by the camera 125 and the cleaning work is continued.

[0051] The two-axis arm module 1 is a serial robotic arm with two horizontal rotational movements and three vertical movements. A first motor 111 controls the rotation of the first arm 11, a second motor 124 controls the rotation of the second arm 12, a spray solenoid valve 123 controls the up-and-down movement of the spray unit 122, a stepper motor 1282 controls the up-and-down movement of the cleaning brush unit 128, and a cylinder solenoid valve 127 controls the up-and-down movement of the endoscope unit 129. The end effectors of the two-axis arm module 1 are the spray unit 122, the cleaning brush unit 128, and the endoscope unit 129. The motion range of the end effectors is a large circular fan-shaped area around the machine body.

[0052] Regarding magnetic adsorption, during robot cleaning, the six magnetic adsorption wheels 211 of chassis module 2 remain in fixed positions, and the internal magnets 2115 are continuously activated. Simultaneously, the adjustable adsorption module 3 adjusts the magnetic adsorption distance appropriately according to the height of the working curved surface at the bottom of chassis module 2, thus providing auxiliary adsorption for chassis module 2. This combination of magnetic wheel adsorption and chassis adsorption ensures the robot's stable adsorption on the working curved surface. For surface adaptation, the main wheel sets 21 on both sides of chassis module 2 are connected to the chassis frame and can move up and down with damping, providing cushioning and shock absorption, reducing the impact of instability caused by obstacles encountered during robot movement. The single wheel set 212 and double wheel set 213 of the main wheel set 21 adopt a combination of single suspension 2122 and double suspension 2131, respectively, ensuring that the angle adjustment of the front and rear wheel sets can adapt to curved surfaces with changes in the front-to-back direction. The bearing protrusions on both sides of the motor mounting bracket 2113 of the magnetic adsorption wheel 211 are respectively hinged to the hinge lugs of the single suspension 2122 and the double suspension 2131, ensuring that the wheel hub 2111 can rotate up and down to adapt to the curved surface that changes in the left and right directions.

[0053] When the three cleaning units are operating, the magnetic adsorption wheel 211, in conjunction with the adjustable adsorption module 3, ensures the stability of the robot's operation, guaranteeing that the robot can stably adhere to the vertical stator curved surface. The motion reach of the two-axis arm module 1 is a large circular fan-shaped area around the body, which increases the robot's cleaning area and greatly improves the efficiency of the robot's on-site cleaning operation without requiring continuous robot movement.

[0054] The wall-climbing robot can stably adhere and fix itself to any orientation on a vertical stator surface for extended periods, and can continuously move and turn in any direction. When working, the robot first moves to the designated cleaning area, activates the camera 125 of the two-axis arm module 1 to detect the area to be cleaned, and then executes the spray unit 122 to uniformly descend and release cleaning fluid into the hole. After ensuring the hole wall is evenly coated with cleaning fluid, the robot determines the rotation angles of the two joints of the two-axis arm module 1 according to the body coordinate system and the world coordinate system, aligning the cleaning brush unit 128 with the slot hole. Then, the cleaning brush unit 128 is controlled to move up and down, while the brush head 1284 rotates. After completing multiple up-and-down cleaning cycles, the endoscope unit 129 is aligned with the slot hole in the same manner, and the endoscope unit 129 is controlled to slowly move into the hole to observe and check whether the hole wall is clean. If the cleaning is successful, the two-axis arm module 1 uses the camera 125 to locate the next adjacent slot to be cleaned, controls the joint rotation angle displacement of the first motor 111 and the second motor 124, so that the cleaning unit is aligned with the position of the next adjacent slot to be cleaned, and repeats the above process to clean the adjacent slots.

9. The cleaning method for a curved surface adaptive mobile wall-climbing robot for cleaning generator stators according to any one of claims 1-8, characterized in that, include: When the curved surface adaptive mobile wall-climbing robot is cleaning the generator stator, it first rotates the knob (221) so that the distance between each copper sleeve (2252) in the lifting component (225) and the limiting plate (36) of the adjustable adsorption module (3) reaches a preset distance. The magnetic adsorption unit of the adjustable adsorption module (3) assists in adsorbing the stator surface. Then, the wheel motor (2112) of each magnetic adsorption wheel (211) drives the wheel hub (2111) to rotate, so that the curved surface adaptive mobile wall-climbing robot moves on the stator surface. At the same time, the wheel hub (2111) is adsorbed onto the stator surface by each magnet (2115) until the second shaft arm assembly (1 2) The camera (125) detects the area to be cleaned, stops moving, and begins cleaning the stator holes in the area to be cleaned. First, the first motor (111) of the first shaft arm assembly (11) and the second motor (124) of the second shaft arm assembly (12) are started, causing the first shaft arm assembly (11) and the second shaft arm assembly (12) to generate joint rotational displacement until the spray rod (1221) of the spray unit (122) is facing the stator hole. The spray rod (1221) is controlled to descend at a constant speed into the stator hole and release the cleaning liquid through the spray solenoid valve (123). Then, the spray rod (1221) is controlled to rise at a constant speed away from the stator hole, and the first shaft arm assembly (122) is controlled to continue to move. The arm assembly (11) and the second shaft arm assembly (12) generate joint rotational angular displacement until the brush head (1284) of the cleaning brush unit (128) is directly facing the stator hole. The stepper motor (1282) of the lead screw stepper motor and the brush lead screw (1281) control the brush head (1284) to descend at a constant speed into the stator hole and move up and down along the length direction of the brush lead screw (1281) for cleaning. At the same time, the brush head (1284) rotates around the central axis of the brush lead screw (1281) for cleaning. After multiple moving cleaning and rotating cleaning, the cleaning stops. The brush head (1284) is controlled to rise at a constant speed away from the stator hole. The first shaft arm assembly (11) and the second shaft arm assembly (12) continue to be controlled. The two-axis arm assembly (12) generates a joint rotational displacement until the endoscope (1294) of the endoscope unit (129) is facing the stator hole. The pen-shaped cylinder (1291) is controlled by the cylinder solenoid valve (127) to make the endoscope (1294) descend into the stator hole at a constant speed and observe and detect whether the stator hole wall is clean. If it is not clean, the endoscope (1294) is controlled to rise at a constant speed and leave the stator hole. The cleaning work of the stator hole in the area to be cleaned is repeated. If it is clean, the endoscope (1294) is controlled to rise at a constant speed and leave the stator hole. The next area to be cleaned is detected by the camera (125) and the cleaning work is continued.
