Structural design of wind turbine tower climbing robot

Abstract This paper combines the actual needs of the structure design of the climbing robot, uses the three-dimensional software to virtual design the mechanical structure, and performs finite element simulation on the key components to verify the reliability. On this basis, the components with higher quality are Topology optimization reduces weight without reducing stiffness, enabling lightweight design and improved overall performance. Through the structural design of the robot, the overall layout of the robot is functional. Important parts such as the body, power system, and mobile system are designed in detail, and the physical parts of the prototype are processed. Converting the roll cage design in the racing field into the body design of the robot to increase the rigidity of the body.
