Design of Structure and Drive System for Pneumatic Glass Curtain Wall Cleaning Robot

Abstract

In order to improve the cleaning efficiency of curtain wall, a pneumatic robot is designed. The robot is consists of mobile system, adsorption system and cleaning system. The mobile system is a cross-shaped framework that is driven by the pneumatic system and moves mutually. Vacuum sucker scheme is adopted in the adsorption system. Cleaning brush is driven directly backward and forward by the cylinder. The adsorption and detachment of robot feet sucker, body movement and sequence control of the robot cleaning task are controlled by the PLC. The function that robot can clean glass curtain wall efficiently by the harmony operation is achieved.

Curtain wall cleaning robot design based on SolidWorks

“…Under the double effect of high work danger coefficient and great labor intensity, labor gap in this high-risk industry has been gradually expanding. Jiang Tao [1] designed the driving glass curtain wall cleaning robot;Gao Peng [2] designed a robot to clean the glass walls according to the principle of vacuum negative pressure adsorption;Zhang Yongde [3] designed a cleaning robot that uses a multi-grooved master-slave roller to increase the friction of the rope-driven glass curtain wall; Liang Ziyue [4] designed a vacuum sucker based on syringe adsorption to realize the robot's adsorption and detachment from the glass surface;Ni Wei [5] designed the cleaning system of the robot and carried out three-dimensional modeling;Hu Qibao [6] designed a multi-sucker adsorption glass wall robot system that could cross the barrier of horizontal window frame.Therefore, this product is designed to solve the current situation of curtain wall cleaning, which is expensive, material and high risk. This design has high mobility, strong adaptability to the environment, suitable volume and weight of the machine body, which ensures the accuracy and reliability of the robot movement and work efficiency.…”
