[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an intelligent wall-climbing robot with fall protection, comprising a robot body 1, a proximity sensor 12 installed at the bottom of the robot body 1, and a wireless transmission module 13 provided on one side of the proximity sensor 12, a fixed base 2 fixed at the rear end of the top of the robot body 1, a safety rope 3 installed at one end of the fixed base 2, a rope winder 5 installed at one end of the safety rope 3, a hook 11 installed at one end of the rope winder 5, a controller 22 installed on one side of the rope winder 5, and a wireless receiving module 23 provided on one side of the controller 22, a fixed plate 20 installed on one side of the front end of the rope winder 5, a telescopic cylinder 19 installed inside the fixed plate 20, a limit seat 21 installed on one side of the telescopic cylinder 19, and a connecting block 4 installed on the other side of the front end of the rope winder 5. The cross-section of the limit seat 21 is larger than the cross-section of the safety rope 3 and the connecting block 4, and the limit seat 21 is compatible with the safety rope 3 and the connecting block 4, resulting in a better limiting and locking effect on the safety rope 3.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, when the robot body 1 is placed on the wall for walking, the hook 11 is hung at a high place to hoist the robot body 1. The robot body 1 moves and pulls the rope reel 5 to rotate and release the rope. The proximity sensor 12 at the bottom of the robot body 1 is activated to measure the distance between the robot body 1 and the wall. If the distance increases, the signal is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the wireless receiving module 23 through the wireless transmitting module 13. After receiving the signal, the wireless receiving module 23 transmits the signal to the controller 22. The controller 22 then controls the telescopic cylinder 19 to open and push the limit seat 21 to move to one side. Under the action of the connecting block 4, the safety rope 3 is clamped and locked, stopping the release of the safety rope 3 and preventing the robot body 1 from falling to the ground.

[0023] A fixing block 16 is installed at the front end of the robot body 1. A card seat 17 is installed at one end of each fixing block 16, and a card post 18 is installed inside each card seat 17. A horizontal plate 7 is installed at the front end of the card post 18, and a cleaning brush 8 is installed at the bottom end of the horizontal plate 7. Support rods 14 are installed on both sides of one end of the horizontal plate 7, and a support seat 15 is installed on one side of each card seat 17. The cross-section of the card post 18 is smaller than the cross-section of the card seat 17, and the card post 18 and the card seat 17 form an engaging structure. The cross-section of the support rod 14 is smaller than the cross-section of the support seat 15, and the support rod 14 and the support seat 15 form an engaging structure. The engaging structure design facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the horizontal plate 7, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the cleaning brush 8 at its bottom end. Two sets of card seats 17 are provided, and the two sets of card seats 17 are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the robot body 1, so that the horizontal plate 7 is stably installed at the front end of the robot body 1.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the robot body 1 moves forward on the wall, the cleaning brush 8 at the bottom of the horizontal plate 7 at the front of the robot body 1 first brushes and cleans the wall before the robot body 1 moves, keeping the wall clean so that the robot body 1 can move more easily. Subsequently, the horizontal plate 7 can be pulled forward so that the locking post 18 at one end moves out of the inside of the locking seat 17 and the support rod 14 moves out of the inside of the support base 15, so that the horizontal plate 7 can be removed and the cleaning brush 8 at its bottom can be cleaned. After cleaning, the locking post 18 is aligned with the locking seat 17 and the support rod 14 is aligned with the support base 15 and locked together, so that the new cleaning brush 8 can be installed.

[0025] Mounting plates 9 are installed on both sides of the robot body 1. A rubber block 10 is installed on one side of each mounting plate 9, and a protective plate 6 is installed on one side of each rubber block 10.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the protective plate 6 and the rubber block 10 are installed on both sides of the robot body 1 via the mounting plate 9, protecting the robot body 1. If there is an impact force from the outside on both sides, it will first hit the protective plate 6 and cause the rubber block 10 to be compressed to buffer the impact force, thereby protecting the robot body 1.

[0027] Working principle: When in use, the wall-climbing robot is taken out and its rope reel 5 is suspended from a high place on the wall using the hook 11. When the wall-climbing robot climbs the wall, the safety rope 3 is released from the rope reel 5 to protect the robot's safety. When the robot body 1 is working, the proximity sensor 12 at the bottom of the robot body 1 is activated to measure the distance between the robot body 1 and the wall. If the distance increases, the signal is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the wireless receiving module 23 through the wireless transmitting module 13. After receiving the signal, the wireless receiving module 23 transmits the signal to the controller 22. The controller 22 then controls the telescopic cylinder 19 to open and push the limit seat 21 to move to one side. Under the action of the connecting block 4, the safety rope 3 is clamped and locked, stopping the release of the safety rope 3 and preventing the robot body 1 from falling to the ground. When the robot body 1 is climbing the wall, the cleaning brush 8 at the bottom of the front horizontal plate 7 of the robot body 1 first brushes and cleans the wall before the robot body 1 walks, keeping the wall clean and allowing the robot body 1 to walk more easily.

[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
