Abstract

Recently, a prototype of a guide rail type window cleaning robot was developed, and is currently undergoing field testing. The size and the load of the robot have not yet been optimized. In this study, a stress analysis was performed to derive quantitative data to improve the current window cleaning robot and secure its structural safety. Through the analysis of its own weight, resistance to wind speed, and other factors, it was found that the robot can be improved in terms of the drooping caused by its own weight and the drag force against wind pressure. The analysis results obtained will be directly applied to improve the design of the window cleaning robot, and it is expected that this will advance the completeness of the robot's design.

최근에 개발되고 있는 가이드레일형 유리창 청소로봇은 현재 첫 번째 시작품이 제작되어 시험 중인 상황으로, 그 크기와 하중이 최적화 되지 못한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 현재의 유리창 청소로봇을 개선하고 구조적 안전성을 확보하기 위한 정량적인 데이터를 도출하기 위하여 응력해석을 진행하였다. 유리창 청소로봇의 자중, 풍압 등에 의한 응력을 해석한 결과, 자중에 의한 처짐, 풍속에 대한 항력 등에서 개선의 여지가 있음을 발견하였다. 도출된 해석 결과는 유리창 청소로봇의 설계 개선에 직접 적용될 예정이며, 이를 통하여 설계의 완성도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
