Description

Sucker crawler-driven bionic device for climbing smooth surface
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a track drive bionic device especially relates to a sucking disc track drive bionic device for climbing smooth surface.
Background
Mobile robots have been widely used in high-altitude operations, such as cleaning the outer walls of high-rise buildings, building high-rise buildings, painting large ships, monitoring storage cabinets of nuclear power plants, etc., and because such operations are generally important and extremely dangerous, a more specific field of research in mobile robots, wall-climbing robots, has been widely studied and well developed in various places throughout the world. Most wall climbing robots can be summarized into two types at present: pull-type and stick-type. The adhesion type wall climbing robot is provided with an adhesion type mechanism which adheres to a wall through suction force, magnetic force, van der waals force and micro-piercing interlocking action. The magnetic attachment mechanism is only used when the work wall surface consists of a ferromagnetic surface.
The micro-thorn structure robot can adhere well to a rough wall surface, but is not suitable for smooth surfaces such as glass, ceilings and the like. The van der waals force robot, which mimics the gecko's ability to adhere dry, is unique in that it does not require energy, but the magnitude of the adhesion is greatly affected by the roughness of the adhering surface, and therefore more research is required to confirm the applicability of the mechanism. The suction cup type mechanism is widely applied to industrial robots, and has better adaptability and durability compared with other mechanisms. According to the difference of the moving mechanism, the robot can be divided into three types: walking, gliding, and track-wheel. The walking type wall climbing robot has the advantages that the walking type wall climbing robot can adapt to uneven wall surfaces, but the walking type wall climbing robot is heavy and a control system is relatively complex due to the fact that the number of actuators and walking controllers is large. This results in a low and discontinuous robot motion. At the same time, the implementation of a gliding mechanism is relatively simpler than that of a walking type, but the same is not widely used due to the discontinuous movement and the low speed of movement.
CN96205687.1 discloses a "high-rise building wall self-cleaning device", the device has adopted the adsorption equipment of many sucking discs, is not independent between each sucking disc, and when one of them sucking disc was revealed, will influence the vacuum of whole sucking disc, and the vacuum reduces and leads to belt cleaning device can not stop on the wall.
CN01274743.2 discloses a "wall climbing robot combining a single suction cup and a crawler-type multi-suction cup", which refers to an independent single suction cup, but needs to use a water suction fan to continuously work to maintain the overall vacuum degree, so that the function that the independent suction cup should play is not really realized.
It will thus be seen that the prior art is susceptible to further improvements and enhancements.
