Abstract
PURPOSE: A maintenance robot of a wind power generator is provided to be easily installed on the outer wall of a tower using a tongs-shaped clamping structure and to be stably moved along the outer wall of the tower even if obstacles exist. CONSTITUTION: A maintenance robot of a wind power generator comprises upper and lower robot bodies(30,40), first actuators(50,60), multiple second actuators(70), and a working unit. The upper and lower bodies are vertically separated from each other and surround the outer perimeters of a tower(11). The first actuators are installed in the upper and lower robot bodies and press the outer surface of the tower. The second actuators are connected to the upper and lower robot bodies and change the distance between the upper and lower robot bodies. The working unit is installed in the upper robot body or the lower robot body.
