At the same time, the negative pressure generator is equipped with multiple single suction cups, which realize the adsorption of the suction cups through exhaust. When the exhaust volume is greater than the intake volume, negative pressure will be formed. The pressure difference generated in this way will squeeze the robot to the wall.

[0025] When working, the wall-climbing robot crawls on the tower, and the camera 3 takes pictures of the outer surface of the tower. When there is a part that is not clearly photographed, the motor 1 40 is controlled to rotate, and the output end of the motor 1 40 drives the rotating shaft 41 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 41 drives the body 2 to rotate, and the body 2 drives the camera 3 to rotate to the side of the unclear shooting direction, and then the motor 2 42 is controlled to rotate, and the output end of the motor 2 42 drives the shaft 43 to rotate, and the shaft 43 drives the rotating plate 44 to rotate, and the rotating plate 44 drives the waist frame 47 to swing left and right through the round rod 45, and drives the hinged plate 490 to move, and the hinged plate 490 drives the telescopic rod 48 to move horizontally, and the telescopic rod 48 drives the camera 3 to move horizontally, and the camera 3 moves close to the unclear shooting part until the shooting is clear.

When there is a part that is not clearly photographed, the motor 1 40 is controlled to rotate, and the output end of the motor 1 40 drives the shaft 41 to rotate, and the shaft 41 drives the body 2 to rotate, and the body 2 drives the camera 3 to rotate to the side of the unclear shooting direction, and then the motor 2 42 is controlled to rotate, and the output end of the motor 2 42 drives the shaft 43 to rotate, and the shaft 43 drives the rotating plate 44 to rotate, and the rotating plate 44 drives the waist frame 47 to swing left and right through the round rod 45, and drives the hinged plate 490 to move, and the hinged plate 490 drives the telescopic rod 48 to move horizontally, and the telescopic rod 48 drives the camera 3 to move horizontally, and the camera 3 moves close to the unclear shooting part until the shooting is clear, and then the structure can adjust the direction of the camera 3 on the body 2 according to the unclear shooting part, and by controlling the camera 3 to approach the unclear shooting part, close-range shooting is achieved, and there is no need to control the wall-climbing robot to crawl. The whole operation is simple and convenient, avoiding safety hazards.
