  • Patent number: 11906342
    Abstract: A wall-climbing robot for measuring capacity of vertical metal tanks includes a robot body including a chassis, a casing, and wheels. The robot body further includes: an attraction unit including a plurality of magnets; a measurement unit including a bendable ruler provided on the chassis and protruding from a top of the casing; the rust removal unit including a rust removing bucket provided at a front side of the robot body, and a driver for the lifting and lowering of the rust removing bucket; and a control unit including a microcontroller, a posture detector, an obstacle detector, an attraction detector, and a distance sensor. The wall-climbing robot of the present invention leaves no indentation on a surface of the metal tank, and is not affected by the rusts formed on the surface.

  • Patent number: 11747317
    Abstract: A novel underwater robot water quality data acquisition device includes a casing, a thruster group, an upper cabin, a lower cabin, a buoy cabin, an upper cabin tray, a lower cabin tray, a power supply assembly, a power conditioning module, a data acquisition control module, a water quality sensor assembly, and a wireless Internet of Things (IoT) module. The device can convert the power supply voltage required by each other module through the power management module. The data acquisition control module transmits signals to the water quality sensor assembly in a set timing sequence, performs real-time reading and processing of water quality data fed back from the sensor, and uploads the processed water quality data to the data platform through the wireless IoT module, thereby achieving the display and preservation of water quality data.
