ABSTRACT

Aiming at the permanent magnet wheeled wall-climbing robot, this paper proposes a permanent magnet wheel design scheme, and uses Maxwell to simulate the magnetic field distribution and magnetic adsorption force when using different materials for the magnetic wheel component. It can be seen from the simulation results that the magnetic adsorption force can be greatly improved by selecting suitable materials. When the inner and outer end caps of the magnetic wheel are made of a magnetic conductive material, the spacers and the support ring are non-magnetic materials, the average adsorption force is 234.63 N, which is 2.93 times when the inner and outer end caps, the spacers and the support ring are all magnetic materials.
