摘要:

针对传统桥塔涂装操作方式工作效率低下、成本高昂、安全风险高等问题,设计开发一款能够适应桥塔外壁高空作业的负压爬壁机器人。为确保爬壁机器人在指定工作高度能够稳定吸附,对爬壁机器人在桥塔高处工作时遭遇风载的环境进行了模拟,得到爬壁机器人相应的气动六分力系数,进行了爬壁机器人在桥塔工作时的受力分析,确定了爬壁机器人能够在风载环境下实现稳定吸附所需的最小吸附力,求得负压发生装置所需的风量、风压、转速、功率等关键参数;为提高爬壁机器人吸附稳定性,对负压腔结构形状进行优化,通过Fluent仿真软件进行流体仿真,探究爬壁机器人在风载环境作用下负压腔不同因素下对吸附力的影响,得到受风载影响状态下爬壁机器人负压腔离地高度、负压腔隔层厚度与吸附力之间的理论关系。最后,根据仿真结果,对负压腔进行结构优化并搭建实验样机,实验测试了优化后的爬壁机器人的吸附稳定性,验证了理论与仿真分析的正确性,为负压吸附式爬壁机器人结构设计提供理论依据。

Abstract: To address the issues of low work efficiency, high cost, and significant safety risks associated with traditional bridge pylon painting operations, a negative-pressure wall-climbing robot adaptable to high-altitude work on the outer wall of bridge pylons was designed and developed. To ensure the stable adsorption of the wall-climbing robot at the specified working height, the wind-loaded environment encountered by the robot during high-altitude operations on bridge pylons was simulated, and the corresponding aerodynamic six-component force coefficients of the robot were obtained. Force analysis of the wall-climbing robot during its operation on bridge pylons was conducted to determine the minimum adsorption force required for the robot to achieve stable adsorption under wind load conditions, as well as to calculate key parameters of the negative-pressure generating device, including air volume, wind pressure, rotational speed, and power. To improve the adsorption stability of the wall-climbing robot, the structural shape of the negative-pressure chamber was optimized. Fluid simulations were performed using Fluent software to investigate the influence of different factors of the negative-pressure chamber on the adsorption force under wind load conditions, and the theoretical relationships between the ground clearance of the negative-pressure chamber, the thickness of the negative-pressure chamber's partition layer, and the adsorption force were obtained when the robot was subjected to wind loads. Finally, based on the simulation results, the structure of the negative-pressure chamber was optimized and an experimental prototype was built. Experimental tests were carried out on the adsorption stability of the optimized wall-climbing robot, which verified the correctness of the theoretical and simulation analyses and provided a theoretical basis for the structural design of negative-pressure adsorption wall-climbing robots.
