[0044] ​​A plurality of barrier-crossing assemblies 1 are connected to the device body 3, each barrier-crossing assembly 1 comprising a strip-shaped stroke member 11, and further comprising a barrier-crossing execution component 12 arranged on the strip-shaped stroke member 11, the barrier-crossing execution component 12 comprising a fixed part 121 and a driving assembly 122 connected between the strip-shaped stroke member 11 and the fixed part 121, the driving assembly 122 being used at least for controlling the fixed part 121 to approach or move away from the wall surface, the fixed part 121 being used for detachable fixed connection with the wall surface;

[0045] A connecting assembly is used for connecting the barrier-crossing assembly 1 and the device body 3, the connecting assembly enabling the device body 3 to move relative to the corresponding barrier-crossing assembly 1 at least in the length direction of the strip-shaped stroke member 11;

[0046] A control mechanism is used at least for controlling the alternate actions of the corresponding barrier-crossing assembly 1 and the connecting assembly, so as to realize barrier-crossing operation;

[0047] A working mechanism 7 is connected to the device body 3, and is used for detachable contact work with the wall surface, or work at a predetermined distance from the wall surface.

[0048] As a specific solution rather than a limitation, the barrier-crossing assembly comprises a first barrier-crossing assembly 1a and a second barrier-crossing assembly 1b, and the control mechanism of the embodiment controls the steps of barrier-crossing as follows:

[0049] The driving assembly of the first barrier-crossing assembly 1a is controlled to expand, so that the fixed part of the first barrier-crossing assembly 1a approaches and is fixedly connected with the wall surface;

[0050] The driving assembly of the second barrier-crossing assembly 1b is controlled to retract, so that the fixed part of the second barrier-crossing assembly 1b moves away from the wall surface, and the distance between the fixed part of the second barrier-crossing assembly 1b and the wall surface is greater than the height of the wall surface barrier;

[0051] The connecting assembly between the second barrier-crossing assembly 1b and the device body 3 is controlled to be locked, and at the same time, the device body 3 is controlled to move relative to the first barrier-crossing assembly 1a in the length direction of the strip-shaped stroke member 11 of the first barrier-crossing assembly 1a;

[0052] When the second barrier-crossing assembly 1b at least partially crosses the height of the wall surface barrier, the driving assembly of the second barrier-crossing assembly 1b is controlled to expand, so that the fixed part of the second barrier-crossing assembly 1b approaches and is fixedly connected with the wall surface;

[0053] The driving assembly of the first barrier-crossing assembly 1a is controlled to retract, so that the fixed part of the first barrier-crossing assembly 1a moves away from the wall surface, and the distance between the fixed part of the first barrier-crossing assembly 1a and the wall surface is greater than the height of the wall surface barrier;

[0054] Controlling the connection assembly between the first obstacle crossing component 1a and the device body 3 to be locked, and controlling the device body 3 to move relative to the second obstacle crossing component 1b in the length direction of the strip-shaped stroke piece 11 of the second obstacle crossing component 1b;

[0055] When the first obstacle crossing component 1a at least partially crosses the wall surface obstacle height, the above steps are repeatedly executed.

[0056] The above obstacle crossing method can efficiently solve the problems of poor obstacle crossing ability, easy jamming and complex structure of existing devices, and ensure precise and continuous obstacle crossing action, safety and reliability in high-altitude wall surface operation, and balance operation efficiency and stability.

[0057] As a preferred scheme but not limited, the operation mechanism 7 of the embodiment includes a multi-axis mechanical arm 71 connected to the device body 3 and an operation execution component 72 connected to the free end of the multi-axis mechanical arm 71. Specifically, taking the cleaning device as an example of the operation structure of the embodiment, the multi-axis mechanical arm 71 can be a seven-axis mechanical arm to realize wall surface cleaning / wiping operation in a large range, multiple angles and full coverage.

[0058] Preferably, the obstacle crossing component is connected to the side of the device body 3 facing the wall surface, and the operation mechanism 7 is connected to the side of the device body 3 away from the wall surface. By arranging the obstacle crossing component and the operation mechanism 7 on the two sides of the device body 3 respectively, the embodiment can further avoid the interference of the operation mechanism 7 with the obstacle crossing component during operation, and improve the operation efficiency and reliability.

[0059] Preferably, the number of obstacle crossing execution components 12 of each obstacle crossing component is two, and the obstacle crossing execution components 12 are arranged at both ends of the strip-shaped stroke piece 11. The obstacle crossing execution components 12 arranged at both ends of the strip-shaped stroke piece 11 can effectively disperse the load, and through the joint action of the obstacle crossing execution components 12 of multiple strip-shaped stroke pieces 11, the adhesion of the wall surface operation device to the wall surface during obstacle crossing and operation can be guaranteed, and the operation efficiency and reliability are further improved.

[0060] As a specific scheme but not limited, the obstacle crossing component includes a first obstacle crossing component 1a and a second obstacle crossing component 1b, and the connection assembly includes a first connection assembly for connecting the first obstacle crossing component 1a and the device body 3, and a second connection assembly for connecting the second obstacle crossing component 1b and the device body 3. During obstacle crossing, the control mechanism controls the state of the first obstacle crossing component 1a and the first connection assembly, and the second obstacle crossing component 1b and the second connection assembly alternately, to realize the translation of the device body 3 under the condition that part of the obstacle crossing component is fixed relative to the wall surface.

[0061] Preferably, the number of the first obstacle-crossing assemblies 1a is even, the strip stroke members 11 of all the first obstacle-crossing assemblies 1a are arranged in parallel, and all the first obstacle-crossing assemblies 1a are symmetrically arranged on the device body 3. By arranging the strip stroke members 11 of all the first obstacle-crossing assemblies 1a in parallel and symmetrically arranging all the first obstacle-crossing assemblies 1a on the device body 3, the center of gravity of the wall working device with the obstacle-crossing function is effectively balanced, and the smoothness of the translation of the obstacle-crossing device is ensured.

[0062] Preferably, the connecting assembly comprises a movable seat 2 arranged on the device body 3, and the movable seat 2 is in a lockable sliding connection with the strip stroke member 11. The lockable sliding connection between the movable seat 2 and the strip stroke member 11 can form a rigid connection by locking when crossing obstacles, thereby ensuring the accurate movement of the device body 3 along the linear path of the strip stroke member 11, and after the locking is released, the device body 3 can be flexibly switched to a new path to realize seamless connection of the obstacle-crossing assemblies in alternate bearing. On the other hand, in the high-altitude scene, the device body 3 can be locked to avoid accidental sliding, thereby dispersing the weight load and reducing the safety hazard.

[0063] As a specific solution rather than a limitation, taking the working structure of the embodiment as a cleaning device as an example, the device body 3 is configured as a beam shape, which can be used to store cleaning liquid or wastewater, and the structural strength of the device body 3 is increased by arranging a reinforcing member in the beam-shaped device body 3. Based on the above changes, when the wall working device with the obstacle-crossing function based on a larger weight is applied to a wall working device with the obstacle-crossing function based on a larger weight, the wall working device with the obstacle-crossing function can further comprise a traction mechanism 8, the traction mechanism 8 comprises guide devices arranged on both sides of the beam-shaped device body 3, and the traction mechanism 8 is used to drive the device body 3 to translate relative to the wall in a direction parallel to the wall, and the translation direction is parallel to the length direction of the strip stroke member 11 of the first obstacle-crossing assembly 1a. By arranging the guide devices on both sides of the device body 3, the device body 3 can be stably driven to translate in a direction parallel to the wall, thereby assisting the device to work efficiently. At the same time, the translation direction is parallel to the length direction of the strip stroke member 11 of the first obstacle-crossing assembly 1a, which can make the obstacle-crossing action and the translation action cooperate with each other, reduce the motion interference, and significantly improve the continuity and overall efficiency of the device obstacle-crossing and translation.

[0064] As a preferred embodiment but not limited, the strip-shaped stroke member 11 is formed with parallel guide grooves 111 and longitudinal gear racks 112 in the length direction, the first motor seat 4, the first gear 5 and the first sliding member 6 are further arranged on the movable seat, the first motor seat 4 is used to drive the first gear 5 engaged with the longitudinal gear racks 112, and the first sliding member 6 is embedded in the guide grooves 111 and can slide relative to the guide grooves 111. In this embodiment, the first sliding member 6 is embedded in the guide grooves 111 and can slide relative to the guide grooves 111, and cooperates with the driving structure of the gear and rack to accurately limit the movement track of the component, prevent deviation, reduce the friction resistance when the component moves, make the overall movement more stable and smooth, and effectively improve the reliability and stability of the assembly operation. Preferably, the first sliding member 6 of this embodiment can be a pulley set, which has the advantages of light weight and smooth sliding relative to the sliding block, further improves the reliability and stability of the assembly operation under the premise of reducing the wall working device with obstacle crossing function.

[0065] Preferably, the movable seat 2 includes a placement surface 21 arranged relative to the wall, the first motor seat 4 is formed on the placement surface 21, and the first gear 5 is arranged close to the placement surface 21, the placement surface 21 of the movable seat 2 is further formed with a first support 22, and the first support 22 is used to fix the first sliding member 6 relative to one side of the guide grooves 111. The first gear 5 and the first sliding member 6 of this embodiment can be located on the same side of the strip-shaped stroke member 11, and the first sliding member 6 is arranged closer to the wall relative to the first gear 5, which guarantees the compactness of the structure and the dynamic structural strength, and further improves the reliability and stability of the assembly operation.

[0066] Preferably, the beam-shaped device body 3 is formed with transverse gear racks 32 parallel to the slide rails 31 in the length direction, the placement surface 21 of the movable seat 2 of the first connecting assembly is further provided with a second motor seat 24 and a second gear 25, and the second motor seat 24 is used to drive the second gear 25 engaged with the transverse gear racks 32. The engagement transmission of the second gear 25 and the transverse gear racks 32 can provide accurate and reliable driving force for the relative movement of the device body 3 and the movable seat 2, avoid power loss, and at the same time, cooperate with the parallel slide rails 31 and the slide block 23 structure to ensure the stability and accuracy of the beam-shaped device body moving relative to the movable seat 2 when carrying a large weight.

[0067] Preferably, the number of the second obstacle crossing assemblies 1b is even, and all the second obstacle crossing assemblies 1b are symmetrically arranged on the device body 3. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the first obstacle crossing assembly 1a and the second obstacle crossing assembly 1b of the embodiment are both two in number, and the first obstacle crossing assembly 1a is located outside the second obstacle crossing assembly 1b. The obstacle crossing execution component 12 of each of the first obstacle crossing assembly 1a and the second obstacle crossing assembly 1b is two in number, and is arranged at both ends of the strip-shaped stroke member 11. The strip-shaped stroke member 11 of the embodiment is a sliding straight rod.

[0068] Further, in an improved embodiment, the second connecting assembly further comprises an adaptive reset assembly 9, which comprises a bearing seat 91 arranged on the device body 3, and further comprises a reset device 92 connected to the bearing seat 91. The reset device 92 is fixedly connected with the bearing seat 91, comprises a transverse shell 921 for accommodating an elastic member, and further comprises an ejector 922 movably connected with the transverse shell 921 and driven by the elastic member. The ejector 922 is abutted against the side surface of the strip-shaped stroke member 11 of the second obstacle crossing assembly 1b, or the ejector 922 is abutted against the side surface of the movable seat 2 of the second obstacle crossing assembly 1b.

[0069] Specifically, the bearing seat 91 comprises a base 911 slidably connected with the device body 3, and further comprises a connecting seat 912 fixedly connected with the transverse shell 921. The bottom of the movable seat 2 of the second connecting assembly is formed with a shaft body 26 sleeved in the bearing of the bearing seat 91, so that the movable seat 2 of the second connecting assembly can rotate relative to the bearing seat 91 and the device body 3.

[0070] Preferably, the beam-shaped device body 3 is formed with a sliding rail 31 in the length direction, and the connecting seat 912 is further formed with a sliding block 23 in the direction opposite to the device body. The position of the sliding block 23 corresponds to the position of the sliding rail. The corresponding matching structure of the sliding block 23 and the sliding rail 31 can make the connection between the movable seat 2 and the device body 3 more closely and flexibly, which can not only ensure the structural stability of the two when relatively moving, but also can disperse the load (such as the weight of the obstacle crossing assembly and the external force during operation) transmitted by the movable seat 2, avoid damage caused by excessive force on the local structure, and reduce the frictional resistance during relative movement, reduce the wear of the parts, and protect the service life of the wall working device with the obstacle crossing function of the embodiment.

[0071] When the device body 3 slightly swings, the movable seat 2 of the second connecting assembly on the device body 3 will rotate relative to the bearing seat 91. During the relative rotation, the elastic member is elastically deformed, and the kinetic energy of rotation is converted into the elastic potential energy of the elastic member. When the influencing factors causing the slight swing of the device body 3 are eliminated, the elastic potential energy of the elastic member is released to drive the bearing seat 91 and the movable seat 2 of the second connecting assembly to rotate in the opposite direction, so as to achieve the purpose of resetting the device body 3 and the second obstacle crossing assembly 1b to the normal assembly state.

[0072] Through the above structure, the device body 3 and the second obstacle crossing assembly 1b have a mutual rotation degree of freedom, and the bearing seat 91 is slidingly arranged on the device body 3, so that the device body 3 and the second obstacle crossing assembly 1b have a relative rotation degree of freedom and a horizontal movement degree of freedom along the device body 3. Therefore, when the machine body slightly swings due to cleaning / maintenance operation or other working conditions, the device body 3 and the second obstacle crossing assembly 1b can rotate and move relative to each other at a certain angle due to the rotation degree of freedom and the horizontal movement degree of freedom, so that the slight swing of the device body 3 does not affect the rotation or movement of the second obstacle crossing assembly 1b, thereby reducing the swing influence of the device body 3 on the second obstacle crossing assembly 1b, avoiding the problem that the swinging device body 3 pulls or twists the obstacle crossing execution component 12, improving the fixing stability of the obstacle crossing execution component 12 on the wall surface of the second obstacle crossing assembly 1b, and further ensuring the working efficiency.

[0073] Further, the ejection member 922 includes a top rod 922a driven by an elastic member, and a connecting rod 922b arranged at the end of the top rod 922a and corresponding to the side shape of the strip-shaped stroke member 11 or the movable seat 2 of the second connecting assembly. Specifically, the number of elastic members in the embodiment is two, and the elastic members are arranged in parallel in the extension direction of the side surface of the strip-shaped stroke member 11 or the movable seat 2 of the second connecting assembly. The elastic member is a compression spring, and the longitudinal width of the connecting rod 922b is greater than the longitudinal width of the transverse shell 921. Regardless of the relative rotation direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) between the movable seat 2 of the second connecting assembly and the bearing seat, a part of the spring in the transverse shell 921 will be compressed and elastically deformed. When the working condition factor affecting the swing of the machine body disappears, the elastic potential energy of the compressed spring will be released to drive the movable seat 2 of the second connecting assembly and the bearing seat 91 to reset to the stable assembly state. That is to say, regardless of the relative rotation between the movable seat 2 of the second connecting assembly and the bearing seat 91, they can be reset after the swing factor disappears, and a part of the spring is always compressed, which means that the elastic member can convert the kinetic energy of mutual rotation into elastic potential energy through the compression spring, so as to reduce the amplitude of relative rotation. Therefore, the connecting rod 922b can ensure the reset stability and swing reduction stability of the elastic member.

[0074] In view of the fact that in the conventional operation, the wall climbing robot is often designed as a plurality of moving rods to realize the climbing movement by the way of alternating movement. The structure for lifting or raising the fixed part on the conventional moving rod is generally a straight rod structure with a track, and the fixed part is fixed at the end of the straight rod structure. When the fixed part is raised or lifted, the corresponding straight rod structure is lifted by a corresponding distance. The lifted straight rod structure occupies the working space of the working part of the wall climbing robot, which makes the straight rod structure inevitably interfere with the working part of the wall climbing robot in some cases, affecting the normal operation.

[0075] Based on the above defects, in an improved embodiment, the driving assembly 122 comprises a folding assembly 122a and a driving member 122b, and the fixed part 121 is a suction accessory;

[0076] One end of the folding assembly 122a is arranged on the strip-shaped stroke member 11, and the other end of the folding assembly 122a is arranged on the suction accessory.

[0077] The driving member 122b is arranged on the strip-shaped stroke member 11 and is configured to drive the folding assembly 122a to perform unfolding or folding action.

[0078] When the folding assembly 122a performs unfolding action, the suction accessory is away from the strip-shaped stroke member 11, and when the folding assembly 122a performs folding action, the suction accessory is close to the strip-shaped stroke member 11.

[0079] The embodiment avoids the problem that the obstacle crossing execution part 12 is lifted correspondingly following the lifting movement of the suction accessory by the function of folding and reducing the space occupation of the obstacle crossing execution part 12, so that the unfolding or folding of the folding assembly 122a does not occupy the working space of the working part of the wall climbing robot, and the working efficiency of the cleaning robot is ensured.

[0080] The folding assembly 122a comprises two folding arms arranged oppositely and moving synchronously, the inner joint ends of the two folding arms are hinged to the strip-shaped stroke member 11, the outer joint ends of the two folding arms are hinged to the suction accessory, and the driving member 122b is used to drive the inner joint ends of the two folding arms.

[0081] Specifically, each folding arm comprises a driving arm directly driven by the driving member 122b, and a driven arm connected between the driving arm and the inner joint end. The driving arm and the driven arm are hinged to each other, and a receiving groove is formed on the driving arm or the driven arm to avoid the interference phenomenon between the driving arm and the driven arm when they are folded relative to each other, and to save the space occupation of the folding assembly 122a.

[0082] In the embodiment, by limiting the two folding arms in the space from the inner joint end to the outer joint end, the stroke of the driving assembly and the fixing member is located in the space of the device body 3 to the wall surface, and in the activity range of the driving assembly and the fixing member, interference or collision with the operation mechanism 7 is not easy to occur, and only when the operation mechanism 7 is close to the wall surface and is located in the space near the driving assembly and the fixing member, the obstacle avoidance operation needs to be performed, and the activity range of the folding arm and the fixing member in combination with the embodiment is limited in the length direction of the strip-shaped stroke member, which has higher predictability, so that the obstacle avoidance operation of the operation mechanism 7 is more simple and convenient, and subsequent operation path planning and intelligent operation of the operation mechanism 7 are facilitated.

[0083] In summary, the several obstacle crossing assemblies of the embodiment of the present application can be alternately fixedly connected with the wall surface, cooperate with the connecting assembly to make the device body move relative to the obstacle crossing assembly not fixedly connected, and then through the precise control of the control mechanism, the obstacle crossing assembly and the connecting assembly are alternately operated, so that the defects of poor obstacle crossing ability, easy to jam and complex obstacle crossing structure and tedious operation of the existing device are solved. The linear structure of the strip-shaped stroke member provides a regular guide path when the device body moves relative to the length direction, ensures accurate and controllable and smooth movement without deviation, and has good rigidity and anti-deformation ability, so that the load is dispersed, the device body with large weight and large volume can be compatible, and structural deformation and obstacle crossing failure are avoided. Through the alternating control of the control mechanism on the obstacle crossing assembly and the connecting assembly, the device can cross the obstacle along the linear path, realize action cooperation, improve the obstacle crossing efficiency and reliability, and is suitable for high-rise building wall surface operation, and takes into account the high-altitude operation safety and wall surface operation efficiency. At the same time, the embodiment sets several obstacle crossing assemblies including the strip-shaped stroke member, cooperates with the connecting assembly to realize the obstacle crossing movement of the device body in the length direction of the strip-shaped stroke member, and the direction, angle and position of the obstacle crossing assembly after completing the obstacle crossing are highly standardized, which can avoid the operation area or realize regular movement under the premise of being unable to avoid shielding the operation area, so as to facilitate subsequent operation path planning and intelligent operation of the operation mechanism.

[0084] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
