Cables are the main load-bearing components of cable-stayed Bridges. The durability and reliability of cables are directly related to the safe operation and service life of the whole bridge. Aiming at the problem of cable detection and maintenance, a new type of cable detection robot is designed in this paper. To further enhance the stability of the robot, the structure adopts symmetrical arrangement to make the center of mass of the robot system coincide with the cable axis. According to the working condition of the robot, a flexible body spring that meets the parameter requirements is designed, which not only meets the required preload, but also meets the starting torque of the motor. The robot is simple in structure, standardized in parts, easy to assemble and disassemble, and has good obstacle clearance ability and detection efficiency.
With the deepening of intelligent manufacturing applications, 3D curved surface mobile robots need to be developed to meet more and more practical engineering requirements. And the adsorption system is the key part of 3D curved surface mobile robot to overcome the gravity of the robot itself. Firstly, the relationship between adsorption force and inclination angle was calculated on the basis of mechanical characteristics. Secondly, we simulated the magnetic adsorption situation and acquired the relation curves of the adsorption force. Finally, the structure size and adjustment scheme of the magnetic adsorption system were determined according to the simulation results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
