The working process of the tree climbing robot 100 for tree climbing is as follows:
in an initial state, the clasping component 1 of each driving unit a clamps the main trunk. When the driving unit a at the top of the upper half part starts to move and the driving gear 12 of the clasping assembly 1 moves clockwise, the two clamping arms 111 are far away from the surface of the tree, so that the clasping assembly 1 no longer clamps the main trunk; the pushing gear 42 in the pushing assembly 4 moves anticlockwise, and the pushing mounting base body 41 moves horizontally leftwards, so that the clasping assembly 1 is far away from the tree center; the driving gear 32 of the steering assembly 3 moves to make the arc-shaped rack 33 and the driven member 34 perform circumferential rotary motion, so that the propelling assembly 4 and the clasping assembly 1 also perform circumferential rotary motion synchronously, thereby achieving the purpose of surrounding clamping; the slide block 223 arranged on the lower side of the climbing assembly 2 moves horizontally to the right, so that the climbing installation base body 21 is lifted, and the steering assembly 3, the propelling assembly 4 and the clasping assembly 1 are also lifted synchronously; the propulsion gear 42 in the propulsion assembly 4 moves clockwise, and the propulsion mounting base body 41 moves horizontally to the right, so that the clasping assembly 1 is close to the tree center; when the driving gear 12 of the clasping assembly 1 moves anticlockwise, the two clamping arms 111 are close to the tree surface, so that the clasping assembly 1 clamps the main trunk. Therefore, a complete tree climbing action of one driving unit a is completed, the other driving units a also adopt the same motion, and when the whole tree climbing mechanism completes the tree climbing action in sequence by four driving units a from top to bottom, a working cycle of climbing the main trunk by the tree climbing mechanism is completed.
Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 shows an initial position of climbing on a tree surface around the tree-climbing walking mechanism, the pushing gear 42 of the pushing assembly 4 moves counterclockwise, so that the two clamping arms 111 of the clasping assembly 1 tightly fit the tree surface, thereby clamping the trunk of the tree to achieve the position shown in fig. 10.
Referring to fig. 11, in the schematic perspective view of the climbing-up gesture of the tree-climbing robot 100 in fig. 11, the driving unit a at the uppermost side starts to move: when the driving gear 12 of the clasping assembly 1 moves clockwise, the two clamping arms 111 are far away from the surface of the tree, so that the clasping assembly 1 does not clamp the main trunk any more; the propulsion gear 42 in the propulsion assembly 4 moves anticlockwise, and the sliding block 223 moves horizontally to the left, so that the clasping assembly 1 is far away from the tree center; the propulsion mounting base body 41 arranged on the lower side of the climbing assembly 2 moves horizontally to the right, so that the climbing mounting base body 21 rises, the steering assembly 3, the propulsion assembly 4 and the clasping assembly 1 also rise synchronously, and the posture shown in fig. 11 is achieved.
The uppermost driving unit a of the tree climbing robot 100 in fig. 1 drives the clasping assembly 1 to clamp a trunk around, and the driving gear 32 of the steering assembly 3 in the uppermost driving unit a moves to make the arc-shaped rack 33 and the follower 34 perform circumferential rotation, so that the pushing assembly 4 and the clasping assembly 1 perform circumferential rotation synchronously, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping around; the propulsion gear 42 of the propulsion assembly 4 moves clockwise to make the clasping assembly 1 close to the trunk; the driving gear 12 of the clasping assembly 1 moves anticlockwise, so that the clasping assembly 1 clamps the trunk, and the posture shown in fig. 1 is achieved.
When the whole tree climbing robot 100 sequentially completes the tree climbing actions from top to bottom, the tree climbing robot 100 climbs a main trunk through a working cycle.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all modifications and equivalents of the present invention, which are made by the contents of the present specification and the accompanying drawings, or directly/indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are included in the scope of the present invention.
