The invention discloses an
underwater robot for
submarine pipeline
cutting. The
underwater robot is mainly used for
cutting submarine badly broken
petroleum pipelines and comprises an ROV (remotely-operated vehicle) body, two
cutting mechanisms, supporting legs and a small auxiliary
manipulator, the ROV body comprises a frame, a
buoyancy block, a
propeller, a seven-degree-of-freedom
manipulator, a five-degree-of-freedom
manipulator, an
underwater illumination device, a camera shooting device and a hydraulic
electric control device, the supporting legs are uniformly distributed on two sides of the
submarine pipeline cutting
robot, a center line of the supporting legs is coincided with that of the cutting mechanisms, so that the ROV body is supported, the small auxiliary manipulator is connected below the
submarine pipeline cutting robot through bolts and positioned in middle of the cutting mechanisms, the cutting mechanisms are fixed in the rearward front of the bottom of the
submarine pipeline cutting robot through bolts, the cutting mechanisms and a pipeline are positioned by a positioning
hydraulic cylinder, and the broken pipelines are
cut by controlling rotation of a water cutter mechanism. The
underwater robot can be automatically operated in
deep water areas or special environments.
