Analysis of Safe Adsorption Conditions and Motion Characteristics of Rolling Sealed Tracked Wall-climbing Robot

To complete the defect detection of the Three Gorges Dam channel, a crawler wall climbing robot with a rolling seal structure was designed and developed. The robot used a flexible track as a sealing skirt to achieve rolling sealing, which was with the characteristics of excellent wear resistance of the sealing structure, good trafficability and strong adaptability to the wall surfaces. As the adsorption stability is the key to the design of the robot，the sliding parameters and other indexes were proposed as the stable adsorption conditions of the rolling seal wall climbing robot based on the dynamics modeling method，which were used to investigate the adsorption stability and movement accuracy of the robots in the moving states, especially in the sliding steering states. The relationship between the key design parameters and the adsorption stability of the robots was established by discussing the influences of the vacuum pressure on the slip and stable adsorption of the robots. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed safe adsorption condition can be used as the theoretical basis for the optimal design of the motion performance of the wall climbing robots, and also provide a reference for the establishment of the corresponding control model.
