[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of people's quality of life, high-rise buildings have sprung up in cities and become an important part of the city skyline. In order to create a modern and beautiful architectural style, these high-rise buildings widely use glass curtain walls as exterior wall materials. However, during long-term use, glass curtain walls will inevitably be polluted by dust, haze in the air and solid matter in rainwater, which not only affects the beauty of the building, but also increases the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance.

[0003] Traditional glass curtain wall cleaning methods mainly rely on manual operation, using ropes, hanging baskets and other equipment for high-altitude work. However, with the continuous increase in building height and the expansion of cleaning area, this manual cleaning method faces huge safety risks and heavy workload. High-altitude work itself is extremely dangerous, and cleaning work requires meticulousness, making manual cleaning not only inefficient but also extremely labor-intensive.

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional cleaning methods, people began to explore the use of robots to clean glass curtain walls. At present, some suction-type cleaning robots have appeared on the market, which use suction cups and other devices to move and clean on glass curtain walls. Although these robots have certain cleaning capabilities, they often have the following problems: first, the movement stability is poor, and it is difficult to work stably on complex wall surfaces; second, the cleaning device is complex and energy-intensive, resulting in low cleaning efficiency; third, the scope of application is limited, and they can only adapt to specific working environments and curtain wall structures.

[0005] Therefore, how to improve the stability, cleaning efficiency and application scope of the cleaning robot has become an urgent problem to be solved. In view of these problems, it is necessary to develop a new type of glass curtain wall cleaning robot to achieve efficient, safe and automatic cleaning of the glass curtain wall, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of cleaning work and reducing manual labor intensity and cost.

[0033] In the above embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 3 As shown, the rotating shaft 15 is a separate structure, which includes an upper shaft sleeve 1501 and a lower shaft sleeve 1502, which are assembled by plugging and connected by a transmission shaft 1503.

[0035] In order to prevent the cleaning work from being unable to continue due to the failure of any of the dual-axis motors during the cleaning process, we have added a linkage mechanism solution based on the above embodiment. The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0036] As attached Figure 3 As shown, a transmission gear 19 is keyed to the lower shaft sleeve 1502, and a connecting support 20 is provided on the frame 9. Two meshing linkage gears 22 are installed on the connecting support 20 through two shaft pins 21. The two linkage gears 22 are respectively meshed with the transmission gear 19, thereby forming a linkage mechanism between the two disc brushes 18.

[0037] When one of the dual-axis motors stops working due to a fault, the other dual-axis motor can still drive the two disc brushes 18 to rotate synchronously through the linkage mechanism, ensuring that the cleaning operation can continue, thereby greatly improving the reliability and stability of the cleaning equipment. Embodiment 3

[0038] In order to facilitate the operator to move or carry the entire device, two handles 35 are installed on the outside of the housing 1. This design not only improves work efficiency, but also reduces the risk of accidents that may occur during the transportation process, providing a strong guarantee for the safety of the operator.

[0039] As attached Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, two connecting sleeves 28 are designed on the inner side of the L-shaped suspension frame 26, and telescopic rods 29 are arranged on the two connecting sleeves 28, and the telescopic rods 29 can be flexibly inserted and pulled out. In addition, a friction wheel 31 is installed on the telescopic rod 29, and a positioning bolt 30 is also provided on the connecting sleeve 28. The function of this positioning bolt 30 is to adjust the extension length of the telescopic rod 29. By rotating the positioning bolt 30, the position of the telescopic rod 29 in the connecting sleeve 28 can be accurately controlled, so as to adjust the contact tightness between the friction wheel 31 and the inner side of the top edge of the outer wall. This can effectively prevent the crawling track 25 from shaking during movement. When the friction wheel 31 is tightly fitted on the inner side of the top edge of the outer wall, it can provide stable support for the crawling track 25, ensuring that it remains stable and stable during movement. This not only improves the operating efficiency of the equipment, but also extends the service life of the equipment.

[0040] In summary, by providing the connecting sleeve 28 and the telescopic rod 29 on the L-shaped suspension frame 26, and equipping the abutment wheel 31 and the positioning bolt 30, the present invention achieves effective fixation and stable support of the crawling track 25, thereby improving the working efficiency and reliability of the equipment.

The scope of the utility model is limited by the attached claims rather than the above description, so it is intended to include all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the utility model.
