Mechanical Analysis of Jacket Wall-Climbing Robot and Optimization Design of Magnetic Adsorption Unit
In order to solve the problem of stable adsorption of wall-climbing robot on jacket level of offshore platform,a crawler type magnetic adsorption wall-climbing robot was designed.The basic structure of the wall-climbing robot was introduced,and the mini-mum magnetic adsorption force required under different instability conditions was analyzed.The influence of key parameters of perma-nent magnet on permanent magnet adsorption force and magnetic mass ratio was studied by ANSYS Maxwell software.The key dimension parameters of the permanent magnet in the magnetic adsorption device were optimized,and the magnetic adsorption unit and the whole machine were tested.The results show that the adsorption force of the jacket wall-climbing robot increases from 68.2 N to 79.5 N after optimized design,and it can be stably adsorbed on the jacket wall of the offshore platform.
