Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wall-climbing robots, in particular to a stabilizing device for a wall-climbing robot. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, wall-climbing robots are playing an increasingly important role in many fields. Whether it is in large-scale tank inspection in the industrial field, cleaning and maintenance of building exterior walls, or detection tasks in dangerous environments, wall-climbing robots have shown great potential.

[0003] The crawler suction cup adsorption robot is a wall-climbing robot. When the crawler suction cup adsorption robot is working, multiple suction cups are generally distributed on the crawler, and the suction cups generate adsorption force through the negative pressure providing mechanism, so that they can be stably adsorbed on the outer wall of the building. However, since the moving mechanism of the crawler suction cup adsorption robot is the crawler, the crawler is usually composed of a section structure. When rotating, the two sections of crawler may cause friction to the suction cup. Therefore, the suction cup of the crawler suction cup adsorption robot needs to be replaced frequently. However, the suction cup and crawler of the existing crawler suction cup adsorption robot adopt an integrated design. When replacing the suction cup, the suction cup and crawler of the suction cup adsorption robot need to be replaced as a whole, which may cause a waste of resources. At the same time, the efficiency of replacing the suction cup and crawler of the suction cup adsorption robot as a whole is slow, which may affect the working efficiency of the suction cup adsorption robot.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a stabilizing device for a wall-climbing robot. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art and provides a stabilizing device for a wall-climbing robot.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model for solving the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A stabilizing device for a wall-climbing robot comprises a robot body, a crawler is provided on the robot body, a stabilizing structure is provided on the crawler, the stabilizing structure comprises a connecting belt provided on the outer wall of the robot body, a steel wire rope is fixedly connected to the connecting belt, one end of the steel wire rope is fixedly connected to a connecting ring, a groove is provided on the inner wall of the connecting ring, the connecting ring is slidably connected to a clamping block through the groove, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the clamping block, a threaded block is fixedly connected to the crawler, the threaded block is threadedly connected to the fixing rod, a threaded groove is provided on the outer wall of the connecting belt, and the connecting belt is threadedly connected to a suction cup through the threaded groove.

[0007] The outer wall of the crawler is fixedly connected with an insertion rod, and a slot is provided on the connecting belt. The outer wall of the insertion rod fits into the slot of the connecting belt. By setting the insertion rod and the slot, the connecting belt is further fixed to avoid damage to the robot body due to the breakage of the connecting belt.

[0008] The end of the fixing rod away from the threaded block is fixedly connected to a handle. By providing the handle, the fixing rod can be easily rotated. When the user needs to rotate the fixing rod, the fixing rod can be rotated more conveniently by the handle, thereby achieving faster installation of the connecting belt.

[0009] A cleaning structure is provided on the top of the robot body, and the cleaning structure includes a collection box fixedly connected to the top of the robot body, an air pump fixedly connected to the top of the robot body, one end of the air pump fixedly connected to the collection box, an extraction end of the air pump fixedly connected to an extraction pipe, an extraction head fixedly connected to the extraction pipe, and a pull box slidingly connected to the interior of the collection box. By arranging the collection box, the air pump, the extraction pipe, the extraction head and the pull box, impurities on the suction cup can be cleaned to avoid excessive impurities adhering to the suction cup, which affects the use of the suction cup.

[0010] An air outlet is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box, and a filter plate is provided on the top of the collection box. By arranging the air outlet and the filter plate, the setting of the air outlet can discharge excess air when the vacuum pump extracts impurities on the suction cup, and the setting of the filter plate can prevent impurities from flowing out with the air.

[0011] A first magnetic sheet is fixedly connected to the collection box, and a second magnetic sheet is fixedly connected to the pull box. One side of the second magnetic sheet is in contact with one side of the first magnetic sheet. By arranging the first magnetic sheet and the second magnetic sheet, the pull box is fixed to avoid affecting the extraction effect of the vacuum pump on impurities.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] When the wall-climbing robot needs to replace the suction cup after a long period of use, the user can rotate the fixing rod to make the fixing rod out of the range of the threaded block. When the fixing rod is detached, the staff will remove the stable structure from the fixing rod, thereby removing the connecting belt and related components, thereby replacing the entire suction cup. At the same time, when the suction cup is accidentally damaged individually, it can be replaced and disassembled by rotating the suction cup, thereby avoiding affecting the use of the wall-climbing robot.

[0014] By setting up a collection box, an air pump, an extraction tube, an extraction head and a pull box, impurities on the suction cup can be cleaned. When the suction cup is adsorbed on the wall, impurities may adhere to the suction cup. At this time, the air pump, the extraction tube and the extraction head can be used in combination to extract the impurities on the suction cup, thereby avoiding excessive impurities adhering to the suction cup and affecting the use of the suction cup.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] When the wall-climbing robot is in use, the transmission of the crawler 2 drives the rotation of the suction cup 309, which is then adsorbed onto the wall through the suction cup 309. When the suction cup 309 is adsorbed onto the wall, impurities may adhere to the suction cup 309. At this time, the air pump 402 is started, and the air pump 402 collects the impurities on the suction cup 309 through the extraction pipe 403 and the extraction head 404, thereby avoiding excessive impurities adhering to the suction cup 309 and affecting the use of the suction cup 309. After the wall-climbing robot has been used for a long time, the suction cup 309 needs to be replaced. At this time, the user can rotate the fixing rod 304 to make the fixing rod 304 disengage from the range of the threaded block 307. When the fixing rod 304 is disengaged, the staff will remove the stabilizing structure 3 from the fixing rod 304, thereby realizing the disassembly of the connecting belt 301 and its related components, thereby realizing the overall replacement of the suction cup 309, thereby avoiding the slow replacement rate of the suction cup 309 and affecting the use of the wall-climbing robot.
