Hull surface attachment cleaning equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses hull surface attachment cleaning equipment which comprises a cleaning device. The cleaning device comprises a walking unit used for walking on the surface of a hull; a magneticattraction unit connected to the walking unit, and having magnetic force so as to be attracted to the hull; a cleaning unit used for cleaning the surface of the hull. The cleaning unit is provided with an impact shovel which is connected to the walking unit through a swing mechanism, and therefore the shoveling direction of the impact shovel can be adjusted through rotation of the swing mechanism. According to the invention, marine organisms and rust adsorbed on the hull can be removed without damaging a protective layer of the hull under the action of the cleaning shovel through the cleaningunit under the control of a video tracking unit and a controller when the ship enters a dock and a port (or waits for entering the port). No manual operation is needed no matter on a dock platform oron the sea in the whole process, and intelligent cleaning is achieved in the whole process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ship maintenance and navigation equipment, in particular to a device for cleaning attachments on the surface of a ship. Background technique [0002] Existing marine ship hulls are often adsorbed on the hull by organisms in seawater, such as barnacles, oysters, limeworms, bryozoans, and algae. If they are not cleaned for a long time, the surface of the hull is easily eroded and rust spots are formed. The existence of these attachments, on the one hand, will accelerate the corrosion of the hull, increase the forward resistance of the ship, and slow down the sailing speed of the ship; [0003] Most of the existing cleaning methods use regular return to the port and docking for manual cleaning. This cleaning method is labor-intensive, long-term operation, high cost, and low efficiency. [0004] Therefore, it is desirable to have a technical solution to overcome or at least alleviate at least one of the abov...
