[0021] The rotation connection component 3 is slidably connected with an adsorption module 2 4, and both the adsorption module 1 2 and the adsorption module 2 4 can adsorb the glass curtain wall; the rotation connection component 3 is used to drive the adsorption module 2 4 to rotate, and the rotation connection component 3 includes a cylinder 31 fixedly connected to the base plate 1, a swivel 32 and a thrust bearing 33, the swivel 32 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the cylinder 31 through the thrust bearing 33, and a rotating motor 36 for driving the swivel 32 to rotate is installed on the top of the cylinder 31; the rotation connection component 3 is used for the turning movement of the climbing robot to improve the maneuverability of the climbing robot.

[0022] The adsorption module 2 4 includes a base plate 2 41, a support column 42 and a mounting shell 2 43. Slide sleeves 35 are provided on both sides of the upper end surface of the base plate 2 41. The slide rods 34 on both sides of the rotating ring 32 are slidably connected in the slide sleeves 35. The base plate 2 41 is connected with support columns 42 around, and the ends of the support columns 42 are connected with mounting shells 2 43. The mounting shell 2 43 is connected with a solenoid valve 2 44, and the port of the solenoid valve 2 44 is connected with a suction cup 2 45. The adsorption module 1 2 and the adsorption module 2 4 are alternately adsorbed and cooperated to facilitate the movement of the climbing robot.

[0023] A translation drive assembly 5 is installed on the adsorption module 2 4, and the translation drive assembly 5 is used to drive the adsorption module 2 4 to slide linearly relative to the rotating connection assembly 3.

[0024] The working process of the utility model is as follows:

[0025] First, the telescopic actuator 22 is controlled to extend, and the suction cup 27 is attached to the glass curtain wall. The solenoid valve 26 is opened to generate negative pressure in the suction cup 27, and the entire robot is adsorbed and fixed to the glass curtain wall. The translation motor 53 is started. The translation motor 53 drives the bottom plate 2 41 to slide linearly relative to the rotating ring 32 under the action of the gear 55 and the rack 54. In this process, the adsorption module 2 4 moves a certain distance relative to the adsorption module 2 as a whole;

[0026] After the adsorption module 2 4 is moved, the telescopic actuator 1 22 begins to shrink until the suction cup 2 45 is in contact with the surface of the glass curtain wall, the solenoid valve 2 44 is opened to generate negative pressure, the solenoid valve 1 26 is closed to eliminate the negative pressure in the suction cup 1 27, and the telescopic actuator 1 22 continues to shrink, so that the suction cup 1 27 is separated from the surface of the glass curtain wall, completing the adsorption switching between the adsorption module 1 2 and the adsorption module 2 4;

[0027] The translation motor 53 is started again, so that the adsorption module 1 2 moves a certain distance linearly relative to the adsorption module 2 4, and the telescopic actuator 1 22 is extended again to realize the adsorption switching. The process is repeated in this way to realize the linear motion of the glass curtain wall climbing robot.

[0028] When turning movement is required, the adsorption module 2 is firstly made to adsorb the glass curtain wall, the adsorption module 2 4 is separated from the surface of the glass curtain wall, the telescopic actuator 2 51 contracts to disengage the gear 55 from the rack 54, the rotary motor 36 drives the swivel 32 to rotate, and the swivel 32 drives the entire adsorption module 2 4 to rotate relative to the adsorption module 2. After rotating to the required angle, the telescopic actuator 22 drives the adsorption module 2 4 to adsorb, the adsorption module 2 is separated from the glass curtain wall, the rotary motor 36 drives the adsorption module 2 to rotate the same angle relative to the adsorption module 2 4, and the telescopic actuator 2 51 extends to make the gear 55 and the rack 54 resume meshing, and the forward movement can continue according to the above-mentioned linear motion method.
