Description of Magnetic Wheel for Wall Climbing Robot

Magnetic wall and ceiling climbing robots have been proposed in many industrial applications where robots must move over ferromagnetic material surfaces. The magnetic circuit design with magnetic attractive force calculation of permanent magnetic wheel plays an important role which significantly affects the system reliability, payload ability and power consumption of the robot. This wall climbing robot with four permanent magnetic wheels is proposed to climb along the vertical wall and overhead ceiling of steel cargo containers as part of an illegal contraband inspection system. The permanent magnetic wheels are designed to apply to the wall and ceiling climbing robot.

Test result:

• One magnetic drive wheel use its curved surface to adsorb on a round tube, the force is 130kgs.

• Application: Wall Climbing Robot, It can be used to detect pipeline interior, ship surface, large steel bridge, oil and gas pipeline, and carry repair tools to repair defects.

Advantages of Magnetic Wheel for Wall Climbing Robot

Enhanced Terrain Adaptability:

Magnetic wheels offer superior adaptability to a variety of terrains, including rough surfaces, stairs, and metal structures. They provide robots with the ability to navigate environments that are challenging or inaccessible to conventional wheeled robots.

Increased traction and stability:

The magnetic force applied by these wheels allows the robot to maintain a firm grip on metal surfaces. This increases traction, stability and control even on sloped or slippery surfaces.

Versatile Mobility:

The magnetic wheels enable the robot to move in all directions, including forward, backward, sideways and even rotate. This versatility is especially useful in confined spaces or complex environments where precise movement is required

Main Application

Magnetic Wheels in Hazardous Environments

One of the most invaluable aspects of magnetic wheels is their contribution to ensuring worker safety in hazardous environments. These environments, such as nuclear power plants, chemical facilities, or mines, pose significant risks to human operators. However, robots equipped with magnetic wheels can access these dangerous areas and undertake inspections, repairs, or handle hazardous materials while minimizing the risk to human lives. By replacing humans in these perilous tasks, magnetic wheel-equipped robots help prevent accidents, reduce injuries, and ensure a safer working environment overall.

Magnetic Wheels in Space Exploration

The emergence of magnetic wheels has also brought about a paradigm shift in space exploration missions. With their ability to traverse the metallic surfaces of spacecraft, asteroids, and celestial bodies, robots equipped with magnetic wheels have become indispensable assets for scientific research and exploration. These versatile machines can conduct complex scientific experiments, collect valuable samples, and even perform crucial repairs in the harsh and inhospitable conditions of outer space. Magnetic wheels have unlocked new possibilities for space exploration, enabling scientists and engineers to uncover the mysteries of the cosmos like never before.

Magnetic Wheels in Search and Rescue Operations

In times of crisis, when disaster strikes and lives are at stake, magnetic wheels emerge as powerful tools in search and rescue operations. Particularly in disaster-stricken areas with unstable or treacherous terrain, robots equipped with magnetic wheels can navigate through debris, rubble, and collapsed structures with remarkable agility. These tireless machines play a vital role in locating survivors, providing critical aid, and ensuring efficient rescue operations. By braving challenging environments, magnetic wheel-equipped robots offer a glimmer of hope in the darkest of times.

The forces have been determined at room temperature on a plate in polished steel (S235JR according to DIN 10 025) with a thickness of 10 mm (1kg ~10N). Under normal test condition, the measured force is not lower than the specified value. Value is exceeded in general. Depending on the type of application (installation situation, temperatures, counter anchor etc.) the forces can be influenced enormously. The indicated values are serving as an orientation.
