This paper mainly introduces a magnetic adsorption wind power tower climbing robot that integrates cleaning and detection functions. The main functions are three: 1 climbing, 2 cleaning, 3 testing. The climbing function is mainly realized by a magnet, a crawler belt and a motor. The motor controls the leading edge magnet to be adsorbed upward, and the trailing edge magnet is detached, thereby achieving a climbing action. The cleaning function mainly achieves cleaning during the climbing process by applying extra torque to the front end brush of the robot. If oil is encountered, the oil can be cleaned with a cotton brush and detergent. The detection function utilizes the flaw detection technology. By carrying the ultrasonic module, the ultrasonic wave is sent to the surface of the tower in real time, and the return waveform is judged to judge the surface corrosion condition. The minimum standard of inspection is determined based on the data of multiple sets, and the data during each operation is transmitted through the wifi module. To the upper computer software of the pc end, the upper computer software records the area to be repaired, thereby completing the detection.
