[0024] 1. Through reasonable structural design, the distance between the guide wheel group and the load-bearing wheel group can be reduced, thereby reducing the relevant size and weight.
[0025] 2. Use a flameproof and intrinsically safe control system and move the intrinsically safe components to the outside of the explosion-proof box, thereby reducing the weight of the box.

[0028] 5. The I-beam track driving wheel side clamps the track web to avoid slipping caused by dust accumulation on the track. At the same time, a driving wheel with a large friction coefficient is developed, and the surface is roughened to increase driving performance and reduce slipping factors.
[0029] 6. The driving wheel set and the driven wheel set are hinged, and the wheel set is at the hinge point and the middle of the clamping device. For the clamping device, the stroke-saving lever structure reduces the spring selection pressure.
[0030] 7. Use a limited wheel set under the track to limit the abnormal tilt of the robot when climbing.
[0031] 8. Use mechanical limit sensors and control methods to increase the limit safety performance of the entire machine.
