Referring to fig. 1, a wheel type negative pressure adsorption type wall-climbing robot comprises a robot body 5, a measuring device 1, a negative pressure generating device 3, a lifting device 2 and a moving device 4;
referring to fig. 1 and 5, the robot body 5 is a rectangular frame structure, and includes a roof 51, a pillar 52, and a frame 53. The robot body 5 is connected with the measuring device 1, the lifting device 2 and the moving device 4.
Referring to fig. 1 and 5, the measuring device 1 includes 1 ultrasonic ranging sensor 11 and 1 probe 12. The measuring device 1 is arranged at the front end of the robot body 5, wherein the ultrasonic ranging sensor 11 is fixed in the middle of the front end of the vehicle roof 51 and is vertically arranged; the probe and contact switch 12 is fixed in the middle of the front end of the frame 53, and the vertical distance from the contact switch to the wall surface is the maximum height of the robot body which can cross the obstacle, namely the radius of the wheel. When the contact switch is not triggered, which indicates that there is no obstacle in front or that the obstacle is not larger than the maximum height that the robot body 5 can span, the robot body 5 can continue to move forward. When the contact switch is triggered, the size of the obstacle in front exceeds the maximum height which can be spanned by the robot, the robot body cannot realize obstacle crossing, and manual intervention needs to be carried out on the robot to enable the robot to carry out steering or retreating operation.
The ultrasonic ranging sensor 11 is used for measuring the distance X (t) between the top of the robot and the wall surface and the distance X between the sensor and the bottom of the robot in the control unit0And comparing, and using the difference value as a judgment standard of the robot start-stop obstacle crossing device.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3(a), the negative pressure generating devices have at least three groups, the first negative pressure generating device 31 is provided with a first adsorption chamber 312, the first adsorption chamber 312 is rectangular or cylindrical in appearance, a through hole is formed in the center of the upper part of the first adsorption chamber 312 for installing a first negative pressure fan 313, and a circle of first sealing strip brush 311 is arranged on the inner side of the lower part of the first adsorption chamber 312; the first ear seat 217 is connected with the first negative pressure generating device 31 through a first pin 2111; the upper part of the first negative pressure generating device 31 is connected with the first lifting device 21; the first negative pressure fan 313 is switched between a low gear and a high gear according to the motion state of the robot body 5 to provide sufficient suction force.
The second negative pressure generating device 32 comprises the same components and corresponding connection mode as the first negative pressure generating device 31.
The third negative pressure generating device 33 comprises the same components and corresponding connection mode as the first negative pressure generating device 31.
During the operation of the negative pressure generating device, the stable pressure formed in the adsorption chamber is set to be P1Atmospheric pressure of P0The leakage rate in the adsorption cavity is Q, the height of the air suction gap is h, and the equivalent weight of the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the adsorption cavity are respectively Din,DoutThe relationship between the pressure in the adsorption chamber and the leakage amount is

Wherein η is the gas sticking coefficient;
g is the acceleration of gravity;
t is the gas temperature;
r is a universal gas constant;
the above quantities are all regarded as constants under the working conditions of the wall climbing robot.
If the rotating speed of the fan is n, Q is kP1n, where k is a parameter related only to the fan structure, can be derived
Figure BDA0003121460190000112
In the formula, P1Is a stable pressure formed in the adsorption chamber;
P0is atmospheric pressure;
q is the leakage in the adsorption chamber;
h is the height of the air suction gap;
Din,Doutrespectively the inner and outer sides of the adsorption chamberDiameter equivalent;
eta is the gas sticking coefficient;
g is the acceleration of gravity;
t is the gas temperature;
r is a universal gas constant;
it is understood from this that the height h of the suction gap affects the magnitude of the suction force. When the rotation speed n is constant, the smaller the gap height h is, the stable pressure p formed in the adsorption chamber1The larger.

When the first negative pressure fan 313, the second negative pressure fan 323 and the third negative pressure fan 333 are in the low gear state, the adsorption forces generated by the first adsorption chamber 312, the second adsorption chamber 322 and the third adsorption chamber 332 are respectively FLi(i ═ 1,2, 3); when the first negative pressure fan 313, the second negative pressure fan 323 and the third negative pressure fan 333 are in the high gear state, the adsorption forces generated by the first adsorption chamber 312, the second adsorption chamber 322 and the third adsorption chamber 332 are respectively FHi(i ═ 1,2,3), and the minimum adsorption force required for stable operation of the wall-climbing robot is FtotHere for FtotA simple calculation is made:

When the obstacle is crossed, whether the obstacle at the front end is convex or concave, the obstacle can be judged and detected through the probe 12 and the ultrasonic distance measuring sensor 11;
1) when the ultrasonic ranging sensor 11 detects an obstacle, in the first negative pressure generating device 31, the first negative pressure fan 313 stops rotating and the negative pressure generating device 31 rises; meanwhile, in the second negative pressure generating device 32 and the third negative pressure generating device 33, the working states of the second negative pressure fan 323 and the third negative pressure fan 333 are switched to a high-speed gear to ensure that sufficient adsorption force is provided when the obstacle crossing is carried out, so that the obstacle crossing can be stably carried out. At this time, the following conditions should be satisfied:
