This invention discloses a wall-climbing
robot for
rust removal and sanding on the outer surface of wind
turbine towers, comprising: a walking device and a
grinding device; the walking device includes a first moving platform and a second moving platform, which can move longitudinally and laterally along the
tower wall; the first moving platform includes two frames, two lead screws, two first power units, and multiple first adsorption components, the lead screws being rotatably connected to the frames, and the adsorption components being detachable from the
tower wall for adsorption; the second moving platform consists of an adjusting frame and second adsorption components, the adjusting frame including a positioning frame, an adjusting frame, and an adjusting unit, the positioning frame being threadedly connected to the lead screws, and the adjusting unit driving the adjusting frame to move laterally; the
grinding device is located on the frames and can perform
rust removal operations while adhering to the
tower wall. This invention achieves vertical movement through alternating adsorption by the two moving platforms and lead screw transmission, and completes
lateral movement in conjunction with the adjusting unit, eliminating the need for manual high-altitude operations, enabling continuous automated
rust removal, reducing labor intensity and operational risks, and significantly improving the maintenance efficiency of wind
turbine towers.
