Description

Wall climbing robot with wall surface transition function
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of robot design, in particular to a wall climbing robot which can be adsorbed on steel wall surfaces and has wall surface transition capability, and particularly relates to a wall climbing robot with a wall surface transition function.
Background
At present, wall climbing robots are widely studied at home and abroad, and some mature products are applied to production practice.
Wall climbing robots often employ wheeled and tracked movement mechanisms. The crawler-type moving mechanism is an expansion of a wheel-type moving mechanism, and the crawler belt plays a role in continuously paving the wheels. The wheel type movement has high efficiency, simple structure and convenient control. The crawler-type mechanism has good cross-country maneuverability, and the performances of climbing, crossing ditches and the like are better than those of the wheel-type moving mechanism; however, the crawler-type mechanism has a complex structure, a large weight and a large movement inertia. There are also few wall climbing robots employing legged mechanisms, which are adapted for rough and unstructured surfaces, with a large number of degrees of freedom and complex control.
The adsorption mode of the wall climbing robot mainly comprises negative pressure adsorption, bionic dry adhesive adsorption, magnetic adsorption and the like. Negative pressure adsorption is not limited by working conditions and working media, but when the adsorption wall surface has cracks or concave-convex, the sucker is easy to leak air. The dry adhesive adsorption is carried out by utilizing molecular force between contact surfaces of various objects, and can be applied to any occasion. The magnetic adsorption mode is only suitable for the wall surface of the magnetic conductive material. The magnetic attraction can be divided into electromagnet attraction, permanent magnet attraction and electromagnetic and permanent magnet mixed attraction.
Because the wall transition function is complex to realize, related researches are less, and no mature product is developed. The Chinese patent with the application number of 2017100147777 provides a wall climbing robot adsorbed on a steel wall surface, which is of a double-section structure, is based on the electromagnetic adsorption principle, realizes the folding between two sections through a special stepping motor, and further obtains the wall surface transition function. The whole wall climbing robot needs 5 motors to provide main power, and the weight of the whole wall climbing robot is increased. The Chinese patent with application number 2017107478249 proposes a permanent magnet adsorption wall climbing robot capable of realizing right-angle wall transition, which is of a wheel type structure, the change of an included angle between two sections of structures cannot be actively regulated, and the reliability of a wall transition function is reduced. The Chinese patent with application number 2011102210335 proposes a motion mechanism of a wall climbing robot, wherein the robot is formed by hinging two suckers through a master bracket and a slave bracket, and inchworm type movement and wall transition can be realized. The Chinese patent with the application number of 2017206708427 proposes a bipedal wall climbing robot, wherein the robot is adsorbed on a steel wall surface by two ground magnets, and the wall surface transition can be realized.

Fig. 1 to 7 are schematic structural views of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the wall climbing robot with the wall transition function comprises a front vehicle section 1 of a crawler-type traveling structure and a rear vehicle section 2 of the crawler-type traveling structure, wherein the front vehicle section 1 and the rear vehicle section 2 are both of the crawler-type traveling structure; the front vehicle section 1 consists of a front vehicle frame 11, four synchronous pulleys and two synchronous belts; the four synchronous pulleys of the front vehicle section 1 sequentially comprise a front vehicle left front synchronous pulley 12, a front vehicle right front synchronous pulley 13, a front vehicle left rear synchronous pulley 14 and a front vehicle right rear synchronous pulley 15. The two synchronous belts of the front section 1 comprise a front left synchronous belt 16 and a front right synchronous belt 17. The rear vehicle section 2 consists of a rear vehicle frame 21, four synchronous pulleys and two synchronous belts; the four synchronous pulleys of the rear vehicle section 2 comprise a rear vehicle left front synchronous pulley 22, a rear vehicle right front synchronous pulley 23, a rear vehicle left rear synchronous pulley 24 and a rear vehicle right rear synchronous pulley 25. The two synchronous belts of the rear section 2 include a rear left synchronous belt 26 and a rear right synchronous belt 27. The front left timing belt 16, the front right timing belt 17, the rear left timing belt 26 and the rear right timing belt 27 of the present invention are endless tracks, which are timing belts of the same structure. In order to enable the front car section 1 and the rear car section 2 to be adsorbed on the steel wall surface, permanent magnets 9 are arranged on four synchronous belts, namely a front car left synchronous belt 16, a front car right synchronous belt 17, a rear car left synchronous belt 26 and a rear car right synchronous belt 27. The permanent magnets 9 are arranged on each synchronous belt at equal intervals, the permanent magnets 9, the synchronous belts and the synchronous pulleys form a permanent magnet adsorption mechanism of the wall climbing robot, and as can be seen from the figure 2 of the invention, each permanent magnet 9 is fixed on the synchronous belt through two pan head screws P.
As shown in fig. 2 (fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an assembly structure of a rear right synchronous belt of a rear vehicle section with the rear frame 21 having two synchronous pulleys and other parts such as a right arm 213 removed, the two synchronous pulleys and other parts such as the right arm 213 are removed for more clearly and conveniently viewing the assembly structure of the rear right synchronous belt of the rear vehicle section), the working principle of the permanent magnet adsorption mechanism of the invention is as follows: the synchronous belt is driven by the synchronous belt wheel to do rotary motion. Since the permanent magnet 9 is fixed to the timing belt, the permanent magnet 9 is caused to perform a rotary motion with the timing belt. When the permanent magnet 9 contacts the steel surface, it is adsorbed on the steel surface. Since one permanent magnet 9 is separated from the steel surface under the driving of the synchronous belt whenever one permanent magnet 9 is adsorbed on the steel surface, a fixed number of permanent magnets 9 are adsorbed on the steel surface on the synchronous belt at any time. Therefore, the permanent magnets 9 on both sides are adsorbed on the steel surface, and bear the weight of the whole wall climbing robot.
As can be seen from fig. 1, the front section 1 of the present invention has a smaller width than the rear section 2, and the front left rear synchronous pulley 14 of the front section 1 is located inside the rear left front synchronous pulley 22 of the rear section 2, and the front right rear synchronous pulley 15 of the front section 1 is located inside the rear right front synchronous pulley 23 of the rear section 2; the two synchronous pulleys at the rear part of the front vehicle section 1 and the two synchronous pulleys at the front end of the rear vehicle section 2 have the same axle center. The rear frame 21 is provided with a power output mechanism composed of a motor 32 and a spline shaft 31. The motor 32 is used to drive the spline shaft 31 to rotate to achieve output of power. The spline shaft 31 is provided with a deflection clutch mechanism; the deflection clutch mechanism is a gear clutch mechanism and comprises a rear vehicle deflection clutch mechanism which realizes the linear walking of the rear vehicle section 2 and the steering function of the wall climbing robot by utilizing the clutch and a front vehicle deflection clutch mechanism which realizes the linear walking of the front vehicle section 1 and the wall transition function of the wall climbing robot by utilizing the clutch. The power output mechanism can carry out independent power output control on the front vehicle section 1 and the rear vehicle section 2 through the deflection clutch mechanism, each section can independently travel or simultaneously travel, and the two sections can deflect a certain angle relatively, so that transition from one wall surface to the other wall surface is realized. The positioning mechanism 6 is connected between the front frame 11 and the rear frame 21, and the positioning mechanism 6 can enable the front frame 1 to maintain a deflection angle relative to the rear frame 2 after the front frame 1 deflects a certain angle relative to the rear frame 2 so as to finish transition walking of the wall climbing robot on wall surfaces with different included angles.
The deflection angle maintained by the positioning mechanism 6 is increased or decreased by a set arc angle relative to the horizontal plane. The set radian angle is 10 degrees, 15 degrees or 45 degrees. But is not limited to the arc angle described above, and may be, for example, 5 degrees or any other degree as desired. When the set arc angle is 10 degrees, the deflection angle maintained by the positioning mechanism 6 is increased or decreased by the arc angle of 10 degrees. Similarly, when the set arc angle is 15 degrees, the deflection angle maintained by the positioning mechanism 6 is increased or decreased by 15 degrees, and when the set arc angle is 45 degrees, the deflection angle maintained by the positioning mechanism 6 is increased or decreased by 45 degrees.
The rear frame 21 of the present invention is provided with a probe C for detecting steel. As can be seen from fig. 1, a probe holder is fixed on the rear frame 21, and a probe C is mounted on the probe holder and is mounted on the rear frame 21 through the probe holder. The probe C is used for performing thickness measurement operation on the steel wall surface through ultrasonic waves. The wall climbing robot of the present invention is powered by the motor 32 to provide power for the crawling, steering and yaw actions performed by the wall climbing robot. The wall climbing robot adopts a crawler-type permanent magnet adsorption structure, and can realize the functions of straight running, turning and wall transition on the surface of steel.

In order to realize the transition of the wall climbing robot on the steel wall surface between different included angles, two sections of the wall climbing robot, namely the front vehicle section 1 and the rear vehicle section 2, need to deflect a certain angle relatively, and the corresponding included angle can be kept during the transition of the wall surface.

The number of the ball plungers 63 may be eight, the eight ball plungers 63 are installed with equal radian, and the radian angle between two adjacent ball plungers 63 is 45 degrees. The arc angle between adjacent ball plungers 63 determines how much the angle of deflection maintained by the positioning mechanism 6 increases and decreases. When the arc angle between the adjacent ball plungers 63 is 45 degrees, the deflection angle maintained by the positioning mechanism 6 is increased and decreased by the arc angle of 45 degrees. Similarly, when the number of ball plungers 63 increases or decreases to change the arc angle between the adjacent ball plungers 63, for example, when the arc angle between the adjacent ball plungers 63 is 10 degrees, the deflection angle maintained by the positioning mechanism 6 is increased and decreased by the arc angle of 10 degrees.

Since the first clutch motor 413 can rotate forward and backward, the first spline gear 411 can enter or exit the first internal gear 412.

The working principle of the positioning mechanism of the invention is as follows: when the front car section 1 and the rear car section 2 of the wall climbing robot deflect, namely, the ball plunger fixing seat 61 and the ball plunger clamping disc 62 relatively rotate around the axis of the spline shaft 31, the steel balls 633 at the head of the ball plunger 63 are extruded out of the positioning pits of the ball plunger clamping disc 62 by extrusion force. When the rotation angle reaches the set radian angle or the multiple of the set radian angle, for example, when the set radian angle is 45 degrees, the rotation angle reaches 45 degrees or 90 degrees (namely, 2 times of 45 degrees), the deflection is stopped, the steel balls 633 at the head of the ball plunger 63 are clamped into the positioning pits of the ball plunger clamping disc 62 again, and meanwhile, the resistance generated by the 16 ball plungers 63 enables the ball plunger fixing seat 61 and the ball plunger clamping disc 62 to be relatively fixed, namely, the front car section 1 and the rear car section 2 of the wall climbing robot keep a certain included angle.
The action principle of the rear vehicle deflection clutch mechanism is as follows: when the rear vehicle section 2 of the wall climbing robot runs straight, the third spline gear 511 and the fourth spline gear 521 are positioned as shown in fig. 5, and at this time, since neither the third spline gear 511 nor the fourth spline gear 521 is meshed with any internal gear, the spline shaft 31 idles in the center holes of the front vehicle left and rear synchronous pulleys 14 and the front vehicle right and rear synchronous pulley 15 of the front vehicle section 1, so that the front vehicle section 1 of the wall climbing robot is kept at a certain deflection angle under the action of the positioning mechanism, for example, an included angle of 45 degrees is kept between the front vehicle section 1 and the rear vehicle section 2. The first spline gear 411 is meshed with the first inner gear 412 under the driving of the first clutch motor 413, and the second spline gear 421 is meshed with the second inner gear 422 under the driving of the second clutch motor 423, so that the two front synchronous pulleys (namely, the rear left front synchronous pulley 22 and the rear right front synchronous pulley 23) of the rear vehicle section 2 are driven to rotate, and the two synchronous belts (namely, the rear left synchronous belt 26 and the rear right synchronous belt 27) of the rear vehicle section 2 are driven to perform rotary motion, so that the wall climbing robot performs linear crawling motion.
When the wall climbing robot performs a steering action, taking a rightward steering as an example, the second spline gear 421, the third spline gear 511 and the fourth spline gear 521 are all in the positions shown in fig. 5, and at this time, since none of the second spline gear 421, the third spline gear 511 and the fourth spline gear 521 is meshed with any internal gear, the spline shaft 31 idles in the center holes of the three synchronous pulleys of the rear right front synchronous pulley 23, the front left rear synchronous pulley 14 and the front right rear synchronous pulley 15, so that the front vehicle section 1 of the wall climbing robot is kept at a certain deflection angle under the action of the positioning mechanism. The first spline gear 411 is meshed with the first internal gear 412 under the drive of the first clutch motor 413, so that the rear left front synchronous pulley 22 is driven to rotate, and the rear left synchronous belt 26 is rotated due to the meshing of the rear left synchronous pulley 22 with the rear left synchronous pulley 26. At this time, the spline shaft 31 rotates in the hollow space of the rear right front timing pulley 23, so that the rear right timing belt 27 is in a stationary state, and the rear right timing belt 27 remains stationary. Because the rear left synchronous belt 26 and the rear right synchronous belt 27 are respectively in two states of rotation and rest, the rear left synchronous belt 26 and the rear right synchronous belt 27 have differential rotation, thereby realizing the steering of the wall climbing robot.
The action principle of the front vehicle deflection clutch mechanism is as follows: when the wall climbing robot deflects, the spline shaft 31 is driven by the motor 32 to perform rotary motion, the first spline gear 411 and the second spline gear 421 are at positions shown in fig. 5 and are not meshed with any internal gear, so that the spline shaft 31 idles in the central holes of the rear left front synchronous pulley 22 and the rear right front synchronous pulley 23, and the rear vehicle section 2 is kept stationary. And the third spline gear 511 is meshed with the fifth internal gear 531 under the driving of the third clutch motor 513, and the fourth spline gear 521 is meshed with the sixth internal gear 541 under the driving of the fourth clutch motor 523. Because the fifth internal gear 531 and the sixth internal gear 541 are both fixed on the frame tail 111 of the front frame 11, and the third spline gear 511 and the fourth spline gear 521 are slidably clamped on the spline shaft 31 and can rotate along with the spline shaft 31 around the axis, the front frame 11 can deflect around the axis of the spline shaft 31, so that the front frame section 1 deflects relative to the rear frame section 2, and the deflection action of the wall climbing robot is realized.
The straight line walking of the front vehicle section 1 is as follows: the first spline gear 411 and the second spline gear 421 are located at positions of fig. 5 and are not meshed with any internal gear, so that the spline shaft 31 idles in the center holes of the rear left front synchronous pulley 22 and the rear right front synchronous pulley 23, the third spline gear 511 is meshed with the third internal gear 512 under the drive of the third clutch motor 513, and the fourth spline gear 521 is meshed with the fourth internal gear 522 under the drive of the fourth clutch motor 523. Because the third internal gear 512 is fixed on the front left and rear synchronous pulley 14, the front left and rear synchronous pulley 14 is meshed with the front left synchronous pulley 16, the fourth internal gear 522 is fixed on the front right and rear synchronous pulley 15, and the front right and rear synchronous pulley 15 is meshed with the front right synchronous pulley 17, so that the two synchronous belts of the front vehicle section 1 are in rotary motion, and the front vehicle section 1 of the wall climbing robot is in linear crawling motion.
The wall transition function of the wall climbing robot is shown in fig. 8. The wall transition function of the wall climbing robot is based on the deflection action of the deflection clutch mechanism. When the wall climbing robot performs linear climbing on a working surface, the permanent magnet 9 on the rear vehicle section 2 of the wall climbing robot provides adsorption force, and the wall climbing robot is adsorbed on the working surface, and the front vehicle section 1 is tilted to form a certain angle with the rear vehicle section 2. When the wall climbing robot carries out wall surface transition (taking the transition of an inner right angle corner wall surface as an example), the wall climbing robot firstly carries out deflection action through the deflection clutch mechanism. When the front section 1 is deflected to an angle of 90 ° with the working surface, the spline shaft 31 stops rotating, so that the wall climbing robot stops deflecting, and the front section 1 and the rear section 2 of the wall climbing robot remain relatively fixed under the action of the positioning mechanism 6. Then, the third spline gear 511 is withdrawn from the fifth internal gear 531 under the drive of the third clutch motor 513, and the fourth spline gear 521 is withdrawn from the sixth internal gear 541 under the drive of the fourth clutch motor 523. The spline shaft 31 rotates again, and the spline shaft 31 idles in the center holes of the two timing pulleys of the front segment 1. Then the first spline gear 411 is meshed with the first inner gear 412 under the drive of the first clutch motor 413, the second spline gear 421 is meshed with the second inner gear 422 under the drive of the second clutch motor 423, and the two synchronous pulleys of the rear vehicle section are driven to rotate, so that the rear vehicle section runs straight and approaches the steel wall surface. When the front vehicle section 1 touches the wall and is adsorbed on the wall, the spline shaft 31 stops rotating, the first spline gear 411 withdraws from the first internal gear 412 under the drive of the first clutch motor 413, the second spline gear 421 withdraws from the second internal gear 422 under the drive of the second clutch motor 423, and the rear vehicle section 2 moves to the position shown in fig. 5 and is stationary. The third spline gear 511 is meshed with the third internal gear 512 under the drive of the third clutch motor 513, and the fourth spline gear 521 is meshed with the fourth internal gear 522 under the drive of the fourth clutch motor 523 to drive the two synchronous pulleys of the front vehicle section 1 to rotate, so that the front vehicle section 1 is adsorbed on the steel wall and moves in a straight line. After the front car section 1 runs for a certain distance, the wall climbing robot deflects to enable the rear car section 2 to be adsorbed on the steel wall. And then the deflection movement is carried out again, so that the front vehicle section 1 is tilted and forms a certain angle with the rear vehicle section 2, thereby finishing the wall transition.
The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above examples, and all technical solutions belonging to the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
