Autonomous Air Duct Cleaning Robot System

摘要

This paper presents a new type of autonomous air duct cleaning robot system, which consists of three devices: the monitor and control device, the remote robot and the dust collection device. The control principle and structure design of the proposed robot system are introduced. The guiding device is proposed and designed to ensure the remote robot to move in straight route and turn automatically at corner. The control mechanisms of the remote robot and the rotating brush device are described in detail. In this paper, the 3D model of the remote robot is created and the assembly analysis is accomplished using Pro/E. Finally, a prototype of the rotating brush device is made manually to test the cleaning effect of the proposed robot system.
