[0029] This utility model discloses a steel silo maintenance robot.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] According to the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, the steel silo maintenance robot includes a ring track 1, a walking unit 2, and a maintenance unit 3. The ring track 1 is sleeved on the outside of the steel silo, the walking unit 2 is snapped onto the ring track 1, and the maintenance unit 3 is located below the walking unit 2. The walking unit 2 includes a positioning plate 21 and a fixing frame 22. A first positioning shaft 211 is inserted into the positioning plate 21, and a positioning roller 212 is sleeved on the outside of the first positioning shaft 211. The positioning roller 212 is used to snap onto the ring track 1. The fixing frame 22 is connected below the positioning plate 21. A take-up and release shaft 224 is inserted into the inside of the fixing frame 22, and a hoisting roller 225 is sleeved on the outside of the take-up and release shaft 224. The hoisting roller 225 is used to take up and release the maintenance unit 3.

[0032] By moving the walking unit 2 on the ring rail 1 and raising and lowering the maintenance unit 3, maintenance work can be quickly performed at various locations on the steel silo, greatly improving work efficiency compared to manual maintenance. This avoids manual high-altitude work, reducing the safety risks faced by operators. At the same time, the vacuum suction cup 32 of the maintenance unit 3 can be stably fixed, further ensuring the safety of maintenance operations. The maintenance unit 3 is equipped with a cleaning brush 331 and a welding head 341, which can perform various maintenance operations such as cleaning and welding repair on the steel silo, meeting the needs of comprehensive maintenance of the steel silo in actual production. The walking unit 2, through the cooperation of the positioning roller 212 and the support roller 223 with the ring rail 1 and the steel silo, ensures stability during operation and improves the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0033] Furthermore, a rack 111 is connected to the bottom of the ring rail 1, and a retaining ring 112 is connected to the inner side of the ring rail 1. The retaining ring 112 engages with the outer side of the steel silo, and the rack 111 provides a transmission basis for the movement of the walking unit 2.

[0034] Furthermore, the positioning roller 212 is located below the positioning plate 21, and a locking platform 213 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning roller 212. The locking platform 213 engages with the top of the sub-ring rail 1. The engagement between the locking platform 213 and the top of the ring rail 1 further enhances the stability of the walking unit 2 on the ring rail 1 and prevents the walking unit 2 from shifting or falling off during operation.

[0035] Furthermore, a fixing collar 221 is connected to the outer side of the top plate of the fixing frame 22. A second positioning shaft 222 is inserted into the inner side of the fixing collar 221. A support roller 223 is sleeved on the outer side of the second positioning shaft 222. The support roller 223 is engaged with the surface of the steel silo. The contact between the support roller 223 and the surface of the steel silo can provide support and guidance for the walking unit 2, making the walking unit 2 run more smoothly on the ring rail 1.

[0036] Specifically disclosed, the walking unit 2 is equipped with a drive motor 23, which is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 22. The output end of the drive motor 23 is sleeved with a transmission gear 231, which meshes with the rack 111. The drive motor 23 provides power to the walking unit 2 through the meshing of the transmission gear 231 and the rack 111, enabling the walking unit 2 to move along the ring track 1 on the outside of the steel silo and realize maintenance operations at different locations of the steel silo.

[0037] Specifically disclosed, a wire rope 226 is sleeved on the outside of the winch roller 225. The wire rope 226 passes through the bottom plate of the fixed frame 22 and is connected to the maintenance unit 3. The wire rope 226 is wound up and down by controlling the rotation of the winch roller 225, so as to realize the vertical lifting and lowering of the maintenance unit 3.

[0038] Specifically disclosed, the maintenance unit 3 is equipped with a telescopic rod 31, and a vacuum suction cup 32 is fixedly installed at the output end of the telescopic rod 31 for fixing the position of the maintenance unit 3. During maintenance operations, the telescopic rod extends 31, and by drawing a vacuum into the vacuum suction cup 32, the vacuum suction cup 32 is adsorbed onto the surface of the steel silo, which can stably fix the maintenance unit 3 in the designated position, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the maintenance operation.

[0039] It is particularly important to emphasize that the maintenance unit 3 is equipped with a first robotic arm 33 and a second robotic arm 34 at its bottom. The output end of the first robotic arm 33 is equipped with a cleaning brush 331, and the output end of the second robotic arm 34 is equipped with a welding head 341. The first robotic arm 33 drives the cleaning brush 331 to clean the surface of the steel silo and remove dust, rust, etc.; the second robotic arm 34 drives the welding head 341 to weld and repair cracks, damage, and other parts of the steel silo.

[0040] Example 2

The ring track 1 is sleeved on the outside of the steel silo, the walking unit 2 is snapped onto the ring track 1, and the maintenance unit 3 is located below the walking unit 2. The walking unit 2 includes a positioning plate 21 and a fixing frame 22. A first positioning shaft 211 is inserted into the positioning plate 21, and a positioning roller 212 is sleeved on the outside of the first positioning shaft 211. The positioning roller 212 is used to snap onto the ring track 1. The fixing frame 22 is connected below the positioning plate 21. A take-up and release shaft 224 is inserted into the inside of the fixing frame 22, and a hoisting roller 225 is sleeved on the outside of the take-up and release shaft 224. The hoisting roller 225 is used to take up and release the maintenance unit 3.

[0042] It is worth emphasizing that the ring track 1 can be optionally installed inside the steel silo, enabling the steel silo maintenance robot to perform maintenance on the inside of the steel silo, thereby improving the applicability of the maintenance robot.

[0043] Working principle: First, the ring rail 1 is installed at a suitable position on the outside of the steel silo. Then, the walking unit 2 is snapped onto the ring rail 1. The walking unit 2 is moved to the position that needs maintenance by the drive motor 23. Then, the hoisting roller 225 is used to wind up and unwind the wire rope 226 to make the maintenance unit 3 reach the corresponding height. Finally, the maintenance unit 3 is fixed by the telescopic rod 31 and the vacuum suction cup 32.
