Design of a Robot System for Multistage Turbination Glass-Curtain Wall Cleaning on High Tower

A robot system for multistage turbination glass-curtain wall cleaning on high control tower of an airport is designed. Although some robots have been developed for wall cleaning and inspection, but there was few successful robot for curve wall because of it needing more capability in acclimatization and more reliability. In this paper, a robot which can meet the requirements of the curve glass-curtain wall cleaning is developed. In order to enhance the reliability of robot and reduce the weight of the robot, a method of separating locomotion is adopted. In this way, the robot system is consisted of three parts, namely the robot, the hanging devices and the moving vehicles on the guideway Because of the accuracy rating of construction is very low, it is analyzed that the influence of construction error to the robot system. At the same time the system structure of robot is introduced in details.Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicEngineering, MechanicalCPCI-S(ISTP)
