Abstract
The present invention relates to a climbing machine and a moving method therefor. The climbing machine includes a machine body, a mechanical arm, and at least two ropes, each rope connects a suspension mechanism and the machine body; the suspension mechanism is connected to or disengaged from an object structure, the length of the rope between the suspension mechanism and the machine body is variable; through dragging or pulling of the rope, the machine body can move on the object structure; the mechanical arm connects a gripping mechanism and the machine body; the gripping mechanism can grip and move any suspension mechanism and disengage a gripped suspension mechanism. In the present invention, the machine body moves without interference, and can be pulled not only on a smooth surface but also on a hollow or bending surface, and features a simple structure, a wide application scope, and the like.
