The climbing robot that can design a variety of different structures and purposes, as detected climbing robot, electromagnetic adsorption in pneumatic tube
Polypody climbing robot, electric drive wall surface welding arc climbing robot etc., the climbing robot of each form has respective answer
Use feature.
Since Japanese western bright professor in 1966 develops first climbing robot, climbing robot is obtained in Japan
It flourishes.Later, the states such as Britain, Spain, the U.S., Germany and Russia also develop a variety of wall-climbing device proper manners in succession
Machine.Since the 1980s, domestic many universities and colleges and R&D institution also achieve significant progress in climbing robot field,
Have developed various types of climbing robots.
Climbing robot be it is a kind of can creep the limit operation robot of operation in wall surface, it is collecting mechanism, senses
The high-tech product that technology, control and information technology etc. are integrated, Japan, big country, robot, the world grind in limit operation robot
It is especially positive to study carefully aspect.In in the past few decades, climbing robot technology is worldwide rapidly developed, also in succession
Different types of model machine is had developed, some have been put into practical.In this field, what Japan obtained makes an outstanding achievement, the U.S., English
The states such as state, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, South Korea are also in the research that deepens continuously.
Climbing robot is by locomotive function point mainly sucked type, wheel type and crawler type.Sucked type can be across very little
Obstacle, but movement speed is slow;Wheel type movement speed is fast, control flexibly, but maintains certain adsorption capacity more difficult;Crawler type pair
Wall surface is adaptable, and the area that lands is big, but is not easy to turn.And the obstacle crossing ability of these three move modes is all very weak.
Currently, it is actually rare in the robot for being suitable for different curve movement, wall machine is climbed especially on metal curved surface
Device people, since the variation of curved surface radian brings very big puzzlement to robot motion.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem: the present invention provides one kind and is suitable for different curvature working face (such as metal covering, ground), makes robot
Wheel normally contacts in each curvature cambered surface, it is reliable to guarantee movement, and can change the angle of three axial directions of suspension, increases work arc
The adjustable suspension fork mechanism of three axis for robot of face range.
Technical solution: the adjustable suspension fork mechanism of three axis for robot of the invention, including vehicle frame, it is arranged in parallel in institute
State two on vehicle frame Y-direction swivel mounts, four groups of suspension clamp mechanisms being independently arranged on the Y-direction swivel mount, each Y-direction rotation
Two suspension clamp mechanisms are set on frame, each suspension clamp mechanism include the X that is mounted on Y-direction swivel mount to swivel mount, be mounted on
Z-direction fixing seat of the X on swivel mount is mounted on the wheel in the Z-direction fixing seat by wheel shaft and bearing block.
Further, in the present invention, Y-direction swivel mount is connected by the first bolt and the first adjustable bolt vehicle frame, and described the
One adjustable bolt is mounted in the sliding slot of vehicle frame side, and the folder of Y-direction swivel mount and vehicle frame is adjusted by the different location in sliding slot
Angle.
Further, in the present invention, X is connect by the second bolt and the second adjustable bolt with Y-direction swivel mount to swivel mount,
Second adjustable bolt is mounted in the sliding slot of Y-direction swivel mount side, adjusts X to swivel mount by the different location in sliding slot
With the angle of Y-direction swivel mount.
Further, in the present invention, Z-direction fixing seat is connected by third bolt and third adjustable bolt and X to swivel mount,
The third adjustable bolt is mounted on X into the arc chute of swivel mount, adjusts Z-direction fixing seat by the different location in sliding slot
The angle rotated with X to swivel mount.
Further, Z-direction fixing seat is internally provided with the fastener for preventing stress excessive deformation.Fastener generally passes through
Bolt is fixed on inside Z-direction fixing seat.
Further, wheel, wheel shaft, bearing block, motor, fastener and Z-direction fixing seat are connected as one by bolt or bearing
Angles and positions locating for wheel can be changed in body, the angles and positions by changing this suspension.
Mechanism of the present invention can adapt to difference by changing the inclination angle Lai Shi robot in three directions of wheel and contact surface
Curvature working face (such as metal covering, ground) realizes that wheel suspension in the adjustable of three degree of freedom, can well adapt to
Different types of working face makes the relatively reliable stabilization of robot motion.
The utility model has the advantages that compared with prior art, the present invention having the advantage that
Perhaps climbing robot can only adapt to smooth working face in special cambered surface or spherical surface to existing mobile robot
On the working face of equal curved surfaces, even disable since the variation that wheel can not adapt to curvature causes movenent performance to weaken, the present invention can
So that wheels of robot normally contacts in each curvature cambered surface, it is reliable to guarantee movement, and the angle of three axial directions of suspension can be changed,
Increase the range of work cambered surface.
(1) it can change Y-direction swivel mount with respect to vehicle by changing the position of the first adjustable bolt in Y-direction swivel mount upper hopper chute
The angle of frame, and then change the posture and angle of wheel suspension in the Y direction, make robot respectively take turns between shape in the Y direction
Curved surface is adapted at required angle.
(2) it can change X to swivel mount relative to Y-direction to the position of the second bolt in swivel mount upper hopper chute by changing X
The angle of swivel mount, and then change the posture and angle of wheel suspension in the X direction, make robot respectively take turns between in X-direction
Angle needed for upper formation adapts to curved surface.
(3) by changing X, the position of third bolt can change Z-direction fixing seat relative to X in arc groove on swivel mount
To the angle of swivel mount, and then change the posture and angle of wheel in z-direction, make robot respectively take turns between in z-direction
Required angle is formed to adapt to curved surface.
(4) on different curvature metal covering or the robot of other curved surfaces (such as ground), since curved surface is to robot
The negative influence that movenent performance generates, the angle by changing X, Y, Z three degree of freedom are adapted to curved surface, make wheels of robot
It is in tangency location with curved surface, very big stabilization is generated to robot motion.
(5) when creeping on metal covering, source of the permanent magnet as robot adsorption capacity can be used, design near wheel
Obstacle detouring and adsorption capacity of the robot on metal covering are not only increased, and adjustable Three Degree Of Freedom mechanism can change permanent magnetism
The gap of body and adsorption plane, and then change the size of adsorption capacity, it is wider to be allowed to the scope of application.
