Abstract

The present invention provides a hull detection underwater robot that comprises an underwater robot body which is equipped with an environment sensing device, a movement sensing device and a movement executing device. The environment sensing device comprises an ultrasonic thickness gauge, image sonar and an underwater low light level camera. The movement sensing device comprises an optical fiber compass and a depth gauge. The movement executing device comprises a conduit propeller and a three degree of freedom tripod head. All devices are connected with a PC / 104 computer in a hyperbaric chamber of the underwater robot body. A control program is embedded in the PC / 104 computer. The PC / 104 computer collects the information of the environment sending device and the movement sensing device, then communicated with a water surface main control computer for the large data volume network communication of mixed data and outputs a control instruction of the water surface main control computer to the propeller.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an underwater robot, in particular to a control system architecture of a hull detection underwater robot. (2) Background technology [0002] According to the inspection regulations of classification societies, ships in operation must regularly inspect the thickness of the hull steel plates to determine whether repairs and reinforcements are required. Over the past few decades, much of this work has been done in shipyards. This greatly affects the efficiency of use of docks in shipyards. With the development in recent years, more and more hull steel plate thickness detection has been transferred to underwater. Using diver's handheld equipment for underwater detection is not only inefficient, but also very dangerous. This has just given birth to the appearance of hull detection remote control type underwater robot. The United States and other countries were the first to develop underwater robots for hull detection. The M...
