Cable-climbing robot

A cable-climbing robot, comprising:

• a climbing precursor and an inspection body;
• wherein the climbing precursor comprises a precursor rack, ducted thrusters, a precursor clasping unit, and a precursor control module;
• the ducted thrusters are mounted at an outer side of the precursor rack in a manner of surrounding the precursor rack;
• the precursor clasping unit comprises a precursor clasping motor, a precursor clasping transmission component, and a precursor clasping member, wherein the precursor clasping motor is fixedly mounted on the precursor rack, and the precursor clasping motor is configured to drive the precursor clasping member through the precursor clasping transmission component, to allow the precursor clasping member to clasp a cable;
• the precursor control module is mounted on the precursor rack, and the precursor control module is electrically connected to the ducted thrusters and the precursor clasping motor, to control operation of the ducted thrusters and the precursor clasping motor;
• and
• wherein the inspection body comprises a body frame, a body guide wheel, a body clasping unit, a body control module and a traction mechanism;
• the body guide wheel is rotatably mounted on the body frame, and is in contact with a surface of the cable in a rollable manner, to guide the body frame to climb along the cable;
• the body clasping unit comprises a body clasping motor, a body clasping transmission component and a body clasping member, the body clasping motor is fixedly mounted on the body frame, and the body clasping motor is configured to drive the body clasping member through the body clasping transmission component, to allow the body clasping member to clasp the cable;
• the traction mechanism comprises a traction rope and a winding drive mechanism, one end of the traction rope is fixedly connected to the precursor rack, and the other end of the traction rope is fixedly connected to the winding drive mechanism, the winding drive mechanism is fixedly mounted on the body frame and is configured to wind or release the traction rope, to allow the body frame to get close to or away from the precursor rack along the cable;
• and
• the body control module is mounted on the body frame, and the body control module is electrically connected to the body clasping motor and the winding drive mechanism, to control operation of the body clasping motor and the winding drive mechanism.
