The robot of the invention can clear hull attachments and wipe off coating, has good stability in water,and has great underwater operating capacity and long battery life.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of ship cleaning, in particular to a robot for removing underwater ship hull attachments. Background technique [0002] Because of the strong corrosion of seawater and the stubborn adhesion of marine organisms, after a period of time after the ship is launched, a large number of barnacles, algae marine organisms, and rust spots will adhere to the hull. The existence of these attachments accelerates the corrosion of the hull on the one hand, and increases the resistance of the ship on the other hand, which reduces the speed of the ship and limits the combat effectiveness of the ship. Judging from the current technical level, the growth of marine organisms can be inhibited by applying anti-fouling coatings, but it cannot achieve a once-and-for-all effect; regular docking repairs are costly in terms of funds and time or the time of ship suspension. It is very huge, and for military ships, frequent docking repairs can ea...
