For example, the radius of the wind turbine tower will become smaller and smaller from bottom to top, and the curvature will become larger and larger. If the cleaning and recovery device cannot adapt to the curvature that changes at any time, it will cause the cleaning to be unclean, the sewage cannot be recovered, and then the robot will slip, affecting the cleaning quality and posing a safety risk. At the same time, the existing cleaning module has problems such as complex operation methods, narrow operating range, large size and weight, low efficiency, and high cost, which has caused great difficulties for robot automated cleaning.

[0019] By providing a walking mechanism and a rear steering wheel on the robot body, the wall-climbing robot cleaning and recovery device can walk on the metal wall surface.

[0054] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize different structures of the present disclosure. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present disclosure, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present disclosure. In addition, the present disclosure can repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples, and this repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0055] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present disclosure.
[0056] Since the radius of the tower becomes smaller and smaller and the curvature becomes larger from bottom to top, the cleaning working surface covered by the cleaning mechanism 4 is not only a curved surface, but also the radius of the curved surface of the tower changes from bottom to top. If the rotating cleaning brush disc wants to adapt to this working condition, the cleaning brush disc connecting plate must adapt to the tower radius that changes from bottom to top. Therefore, a magnetic universal wheel 7 can be set on the sub-cleaning component 415, and the magnetic universal wheel 7 is used for support, so that the need to adapt to the curved surface can be met.
[0057] However, if only one main cleaning component 411 is used for cleaning, the cleaning efficiency will be relatively low. If the diameter of the cleaning component is too large, the cleaning brush disc will not be in good contact with the tower surface during the cleaning process (close contact in the middle and loose contact on both sides). Therefore, a wider cleaning width can only be achieved by setting multiple cleaning components. If multiple cleaning components are used, each cleaning component requires an adaptive adjustment mechanism 3 and three magnetic universal wheels 7, which has a complex structure, not only increasing the weight of the equipment but also increasing the equipment cost.
[0058] The utility model adopts multiple sub-cleaning components 415 and the main cleaning component 411 as active connections, and uses a common adaptive adjustment mechanism 3 and a magnetic universal wheel 7, thereby increasing the cleaning width, reducing the number of magnetic universal wheels, and reducing the weight and cost of the mechanism.
[0059] See also Figures 1 to 16As shown, the utility model provides a wall-climbing robot cleaning and recovery device, comprising: a robot body 1, on which a walking mechanism 101 and a rear steering wheel 102 are provided; a flexible recovery mechanism 2, which is provided on the robot body 1, and the opening direction of the flexible recovery mechanism 2 is consistent with the water flow direction; an adaptive adjustment mechanism 3, which has at least one, and the adaptive adjustment mechanism 3 is connected to the flexible recovery mechanism 2; a cleaning mechanism 4, which is connected to the adaptive adjustment mechanism 3, and the adaptive adjustment mechanism 3 drives the cleaning mechanism 4 to move, and the cleaning mechanism 4 includes to At least one main cleaning component 411 and multiple sub-cleaning components 415, a high-pressure water pipe 5, and a cleaning liquid pipe 6, multiple sub-cleaning components 415 are movably connected to the main cleaning component 411, and the high-pressure water pipe 5 and the cleaning liquid pipe 6 are arranged on the cleaning mechanism 4; a magnetic universal wheel 7 is arranged on the main cleaning component 411 and the sub-cleaning component 415, and the magnetic universal wheel 7 drives the main cleaning component 411 and the sub-cleaning component 415 to be adsorbed and adhered to the metal wall surface; a flow regulating device 8 is arranged on the robot body 1, and the flow regulating device 8 is connected to the cleaning liquid pipe 6.
[0060] By providing a walking mechanism 101 and a rear steering wheel 102 on the robot body 1, the wall-climbing robot cleaning and recovery device can walk on the metal wall surface. Since the walking mechanism 101, the rear steering wheel 102, and the magnetic universal wheel 7 all have magnetic force, the robot body 1 can be firmly adsorbed on the metal wall surface.
[0061] At the same time, the adaptive adjustment mechanism 3 can drive the main cleaning component 411 and the multiple sub-cleaning components 415 in the cleaning mechanism 4 to move, and cooperate with the multiple magnetic universal wheels 7, so that the main cleaning component 411 and the multiple sub-cleaning components 415 can move and make adaptive adjustments to adapt to the change of curvature on the metal wall surface to the greatest extent;
[0062] Among them, since the adaptive adjustment mechanism 3 has no power source, and the multiple sub-cleaning components 415 and the main cleaning component 411 are movably connected, the adaptive adjustment mechanism 3 moves with the robot body 1 and makes adaptive adjustments according to the change of the curvature of the metal wall surface; therefore, the main cleaning component 411 and the multiple sub-cleaning components 415, and the multiple magnetic universal wheels 7 are in close contact with the metal wall surface, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning and recovery device of the wall-climbing robot; during the cleaning process, the generated sewage flows back through gravity and is quickly collected by the flexible recovery mechanism 2 to ensure the cleanliness of the metal wall surface. This not only maintains the cleanliness, but also prevents the walking mechanism 101 from slipping or falling on the tower wall covered with oil and sewage. In addition, the flow regulating device 8 can adjust the flow of the cleaning liquid in time to avoid the situation of too little or too much cleaning liquid.
[0063] The wall-climbing robot cleaning and recovery device, due to the arrangement of the walking mechanism 101, the rear steering wheel 102 and the magnetic universal wheel 7, can realize the movement of the wall-climbing robot cleaning and recovery device with large curvature and variable curvature. At the same time, the walking mechanism 101, the rear steering wheel 102 and the magnetic universal wheel 7 can be magnetically adsorbed on the metal wall surface, that is, the movement of the wall-climbing robot cleaning and recovery device on the metal wall surface is realized, and the flexibility of the wall-climbing robot cleaning and recovery device on the metal wall surface is improved. At the same time, since the cleaning component includes a main cleaning component 411 and multiple sub-cleaning components 415, and the multiple sub-cleaning components 415 are movably connected to the main cleaning component 411, the cleaning area can be increased, thereby reducing the cleaning time of the wall-climbing robot cleaning and recovery device and reducing the cleaning cost.

Since the opening direction of the flexible recovery mechanism 2 is consistent with the water flow direction, the sewage after cleaning can smoothly enter the flexible recovery mechanism 2 for recovery.

Since the opening direction of the flexible recovery mechanism 2 is consistent with the water flow direction, the sewage after cleaning can smoothly enter the flexible recovery mechanism 2 for recovery.
[0070] A fixing frame 425 is provided on the main connecting plate 412 and the sub-connecting plate 416 , and the fixing frame 425 is used to fix the cleaning liquid spray head 420 .
[0071] The movable connecting member 421 is a hinge. Due to the setting of the hinge, the connection between the main connecting plate 412 and the plurality of sub-connecting plates 416 is realized, so that the cleaning mechanism 4 can move along with the adaptive adjustment mechanism 3.

At the same time, there is a coupling 424 at one end of the reducer 423, and the coupling 424 is connected to the main cleaning brush disc 414 or the sub-cleaning brush disc 418, thereby realizing the connection between the reducer 423 and the main cleaning brush disc 414 or the sub-cleaning brush disc 418, that is, the power motor 422 is used to drive the main cleaning brush disc 414 and the four sub-cleaning brush discs 418 to clean the oil and water stains on the surface of the wind turbine tower.

The setting of the flexible member 206 realizes the connection between the recovery scraper 204 and the recovery bar fixing bracket 203, and uses an adsorption member to adsorb the recovery scraper 204 on the metal wall surface.
[0093] The adsorbent is a magnet, and there are multiple magnets, which are arranged at intervals on the recovery scraper 204. Through the arrangement of the adsorbent and the flexible member 206, the shape of the recovery scraper 204 changes with the curvature of the metal wall, so as to achieve close contact with the metal wall.
[0094] Specifically, the flexible member 206 includes a pin shaft 208 and a connecting rod 209, a telescopic spring 210, and a plastic sleeve 211; the pin shaft 208 is arranged on the mounting seat of the recovery scraper 204, and the pin shaft 208 passes through the connecting rod 209, the telescopic spring 210 is sleeved on the connecting rod 209, and the plastic sleeve 211 is arranged on the top of the connecting rod 209; through the connection between the pin shaft 208 and the connecting rod 209, the telescopic spring 210, and the plastic sleeve 211 and the recovery scraper 204, the recovery scraper 204 can change with the change of curvature on the metal wall surface, that is, it is in close contact with the metal wall surface, ensuring that the cleaned oil and wastewater flow smoothly into the recovery tank 201 for collection.

The sliding component 301 drives the adjustment component 302 and the main cleaning component 411 to make adaptive adjustments relative to the main cleaning component 411 as the curvature of the metal wall changes.
[0098] By connecting the adaptive adjustment mechanism 3 to the robot body 1 and arranging the sliding component 301 and the adjustment component 302, the cleaning mechanism 4 as a whole can be adjusted within a certain range such as up and down, left and right, front and back.
[0099] The sliding assembly 301 includes a slider 303 and a slide rail 304, an adapter 305, and a fixing member 306; wherein the fixing member 306 is connected to the aluminum profile extension rod 207, the adapter 305 is connected to the fixing member 306, and the slider 303 is connected to the adapter 305, the slider 303 is slidably connected to the slide rail 304, and the adjustment assembly 302 is arranged at the bottom of the slide rail 304, so that the main cleaning assembly 411 can be driven to move up and down through the robot body 1 to adapt to the metal wall surface.
[0100] This arrangement further drives the movement of the adjustment component 302 and the main cleaning component 411 in the extension direction of the slide rail 304 , that is, realizes the movement of the adjustment component 302 and the main cleaning component 411 in the vertical direction of the slide rail 304 .
[0101] In addition, the setting of the adjustment component 302 can adjust the angles of the main cleaning component 411 and the sub-cleaning component 415 on the metal wall surface, so that the main cleaning component 411 and the sub-cleaning component 415 can be more closely contacted with the metal wall surface, so that the main cleaning component 411 and the sub-cleaning component 415 can better clean the metal wall surface and avoid omissions.
[0102] There are two sliders 303, which are installed on two slide rails 304. At the same time, fixed connectors 311 are arranged on the slide rails 304, that is, the two slide rails 304 are formed into a whole. The connection of the two slide rails 304 is realized by the fixed connector, which ensures the stability of the movement of the adjustment component 302 and the main cleaning component 411.
[0103] In some optional embodiments, the adjustment component 302 includes an angle adjustment member 307, which is arranged at the bottom of the slide rail 304; there are two connecting blocks 308, the two connecting blocks 308 are arranged on the main connecting plate 412, a first rotating shaft 309 is arranged between the two connecting blocks 308, the angle adjustment member 307 is arranged on the first rotating shaft 309 through a second rotating shaft 310, and the first rotating shaft 309 and the second rotating shaft 310 are perpendicular to each other. Thus, the adaptive adjustment mechanism 3 is realized to rotate relative to each other in two directions, so that the main cleaning component 411 adapts to the change of the curvature of the metal wall.
[0104] The angle adjusting member 307 includes an L-shaped folding plate and two vertical plates, and a gap is provided between the two vertical plates for accommodating the first rotating shaft 309. In order to facilitate the connection between the angle adjusting member 307 and the first rotating shaft 309, the middle part of the first rotating shaft 309 can be set to be a prism.
[0105] When the wall-climbing robot cleaning and recovery device is actually used, the cleaning mechanism 4 and the flexible recovery mechanism 2 are fixed on the robot body 1. The cleaning mechanism 4 uses five rotating cleaning brush discs to clean the oil stains, water stains and other attachments on the surface of the wind turbine tower. While the cleaning brush discs are cleaning, the cleaning liquid nozzle 420 sprays the cleaning liquid on the surface of the tower to be cleaned. After the cleaning brush discs are cleaned, the high-pressure water nozzle 503 is used to perform high-pressure washing on the cleaned area.
[0106] In the case of a vertical tower: after high-pressure washing, the cleaned oil stains, water stains and other attachments are recovered through the recovery scraper 204 and the recovery tank 201;
[0107] In the case of a horizontal tower: after high-pressure washing, a flexible scraper strip 205 is added to the recovery scraper 204 to scrape the washed surface without recycling.
[0108] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
