According to the above means, the rotation of the rotary band is wound around the two pairs of driving wheels and the driven wheels, and the positions of the two driving wheels are separately provided on one end side and the other end side of the frame body. And, since it is located at the opposite position, it is located exactly on the diagonal line of the quadrangle formed by the two pairs of drive wheels and driven wheels. As a result, regardless of whether the drive wheel rotates in the forward or reverse direction, tension is always obtained in the rotation band, so that the distance from the wall surface can be kept constant and the adhesion to the wall surface becomes good.
Also, unlike a conventional crawler type having two right and left crawlers, it has only one wide rotating band, and a plurality of movable suction plates are fixed to the outer periphery of this rotating band. The width of the movable suction plate can be extended more than the distance between the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and the suction area between the suction wheel and the wall surface can be increased. It will be possible to expect the robot's work capacity to expand as the size increases.

Further, since the frame is provided with the rotary arm, and the vertical movement cylinder and the fixed suction plate are provided at both ends of the rotary arm, the vertical arm provided at the both ends of the rotary arm is provided at the time of changing the traveling direction of the robot. The movable suction cylinder is extended to bring the fixed suction plate into contact with the wall surface, and then the switching valve is switched to connect it to a vacuum generator such as a vacuum pump via a suction pipe to generate a negative pressure on the fixed suction plate, thereby fixing the fixed suction plate. After the board is firmly adsorbed on the wall surface, the moving suction board and the vacuum generator are disconnected to further extend the vertical motion Synrida to separate the moving suction board from the wall surface, and then the robot body is turned to the rotating arm. In contrast, rotate in the direction of travel. Then, the vertical movement cylinder is contracted and the moving suction plate is applied to the wall surface, and then the vacuum generating device and the moving suction plate are connected to each other to generate the suction force so that the suction force is applied to the wall surface. After disconnecting the connection, the vertical movement cylinder is further contracted to separate the fixed suction plate from the wall surface, and thereafter, the rotation band is normally or reversely rotated to proceed in the target direction.
As a result, the robot can be operated freely in the traveling direction.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the movable suction plate 6 is made of an elastic member such as synthetic rubber and has a horizontally long rectangular shape with a recessed center, and the inside thereof is It is divided into a plurality of suction chambers 17 by the partition wall 16, and each suction chamber 17 is connected to a branch suction pipe 19 through a suction hole 18. The reason why a plurality of suction chambers 17 are provided is that even if suction leakage occurs when traveling on the uneven portion of the wall surface A, the leakage is suppressed to a minimum and the suction force as a whole is not reduced. In the case of a robot of a type that runs on a limited flat wall A, the suction chamber 1
It is not necessary to provide a plurality of 7. The movable suction plate 6 and the rotary belt 5 are connected and fixed in such a manner that the protruding sealing surface 20 faces the outer peripheral direction and the longitudinal direction thereof faces the width direction of the rotary belt 5, and is rotated by a screw or the like. Secure to band 5. When the length of the movable suction plate 6 in the longitudinal direction is equal to or greater than the length of the rotary band 5 in the width direction, both ends of the movable suction plate 6 move above the two pairs of the drive wheels 3 and the driven wheels 4. It is preferable that the driving force is easily transmitted and the pressing force to the wall surface A becomes strong. In order to further increase the suction force, it is better to extend the rotation belt 5 beyond the width direction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the movable suction plate 6 has a non-slip member 22 made of a material such as wood fixed to the bottom 21 of the suction chamber 17, and the non-slip member 22. Then, a suction hole 18 is opened through the support plate 23 fixed to the back surface of the bottom 21 and the rotary band 5, and the suction hole 18 is connected to the branch suction pipe 19. One moving suction plate 6
Each suction chamber 17 is connected to the branch suction pipe 19 branched from one moving suction pipe 24, and a safety valve 25 is provided in the middle of the moving suction pipe 24 of this branch suction pipe 19 and the suction chamber 17. Since the suction chamber 17 is provided so as to automatically stop the suction when the pressure in the suction chamber 17 exceeds a predetermined pressure, one or more of the suction chambers 17 may be separated from the wall surface A depending on the unevenness of the wall surface A. When a large amount of air is sucked due to a gap in the suction chamber, the suction from the suction chamber 17 is immediately stopped to reduce the load on the vacuum generating device and prevent the suction force of other suction chambers 17 from being weakened. ing.

The one moving suction pipe 24 corresponds to one moving suction plate 6, but the other end is connected to a through hole 26 formed in the control wheel 14. In this embodiment, the control wheel 1 having nine through holes 26 concentrically
Since two 4 are provided on both sides of the frame body 2 so as to face each other, a total of 18 through holes 26 and 18 moving suction pipes 24 connected thereto are provided. Since each moving suction pipe 24 corresponds to one moving suction plate 6, the number of moving suction plates 6 is also 18. Further, the nine through holes 26 of the control wheel 14 provided on one side of the frame body 2 and the nine through holes 26 of the control wheel 14 provided on the other side are placed one by one via the moving suction pipe 24. Since it is connected to 18 moving suction plates 6 alternately, one control wheel 1
Even when the suction from 4 is stopped, the suction from the other control wheel 14 can suck at least half of the moving suction plate 6 in contact with the wall surface A, so that the robot 1 does not fall off the wall surface A. It has become.

The two control wheels 14 facing each other are designed to rotate in the same direction and at the same speed by the gear mechanism. For safety reasons, both ends are rotatably supported by the frame body 2. Each of them is fixed to 27 so that they can be forcibly rotated in the same direction and at the same speed. Further, the two control wheels 14 and the rotary belt 5 are rotating in the same direction, and when the control wheel 14 is rotated, the rotary belt 5 is synchronized with one rotation.

A negative pressure is generated in each suction chamber 42 of the connected fixed suction disc 40 to firmly adsorb the fixed suction disc 40 to the wall surface A, and then the moving suction disc 6 and the vacuum generator are disconnected to move the vertical moving cylinder. The rod 39 of 38 is further extended to separate the six movable suction disks 6 from the wall surface A, and thereafter, the robot 1 is rotated with respect to the rotation arm 37 in a direction in which the robot 1 is about to newly advance. At this time, by driving the motor 34, the rotational force is transmitted to the two gears 35 and 36 to rotate. Next, the rod 39 of the vertical movement cylinder 38

As shown in FIG. 4, the bottom 21 of the movable suction plate 6 and the end of the support plate 23, which are extended, are pressed against the rotation band 5 by a holding plate 44 fixed to the frame 2. By doing so, even if a large force is exerted in the direction of moving away from the wall surface A of the movable suction plate 6 that is sucked onto the wall surface A, in particular in the direction above the wall surface A, this holding plate 44 Since the force can be dispersed to the other movable suction plate 6, there is an advantage that it is hard to peel off. In this case, it is desirable to interpose the flat bearing 45 to reduce the frictional force generated between the extended end portion and the pressing plate 44.
