Analysis and Simulation of Permanent Magnet Adsorption Performance of Wall-Climbing Robot

Abstract

In response to problems such as insufficient adhesion, difficulty in adjustment, and weak obstacle-crossing capabilities in traditional robots, an innovative design has been developed for a five-wheeled climbing robot equipped with a pendulum-style magnetic control adsorption module. This design effectively reduces the weight of the robot, and sensors on the magnetic adsorption module enable real-time monitoring of magnetic force. Intelligent control adjusts the pendulum angle to modify the magnetic force according to different wall conditions. The magnetic adsorption module, using a Halbach array, enhances the concentration effect of the magnetic field, ensuring excellent performance in high-load tasks such as building maintenance, bridge inspection, and ship cleaning. The five-wheel structural design enhances the stability and obstacle-crossing capability, making it suitable for all-terrain environments. Simulation experiments using Maxwell analyzed the effects of the magnetic gap and the angle between the adsorption module and the wall, and mechanical performance analysis confirmed the robot’s ability to adhere safely and operate stably.
