Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of underwater mechanical equipment, in particular to a ship bottom cleaning robot with a cleaning brush. Background Art
[0002] Whether a ship is sailing or anchored for more than 24 hours, a layer of microorganisms (such as bacteria, algae, protozoa, and microbes) typically grows on its submerged bottom. Even larger organisms can attach to the bottom, causing the ship to become overweight, reducing speed and increasing fuel consumption. Currently, there are two common methods for cleaning the bottom of a ship. One is dock cleaning, which requires the ship to be docked. Docks are limited in number and very expensive to use, especially for large docks. Dock cleaning is generally only used for major inspections and repairs, and is time-consuming, increasing the ship's downtime. The other method is manual cleaning by divers, which is inefficient and requires high diver skills. Divers with qualifications and experience in underwater work are required to carry out underwater cleaning operations only after approval from relevant departments. In addition, underwater cleaning operations are extremely dangerous and belong to high-risk operations. The slightest carelessness will cause loss of life and property. Therefore, using underwater robots to clean the bottom of the ship has become people's first choice. Chinese patent CN102424100A discloses a composite adsorption hull cleaning robot, including a frame, a cleaning brush, a motor, and a walking mechanism. The front part of the frame is provided with a cleaning brush and a motor, and the two sides are provided with a walking mechanism. The characteristic is that the frame also includes a propeller and an anti-overturning magnetic wheel. The propeller is installed in the middle of the frame and connected to the motor. The anti-overturning magnetic wheel It is installed at the rear of the frame, and the walking mechanism consists of two crawler devices, which are driven by a motor. Magnets are provided on the outside of the crawler, magnets are provided on the outer circumference of the anti-overturning magnetic wheel, and a steering bearing is provided on the upper part. Three cleaning brushes are provided. The substantial deficiency of the above patent is that although the robot is reliably adsorbed on the surface of the hull by magnetic adsorption and propeller adsorption, the cleaning brush will be lifted up from time to time when cleaning the surface of the hull due to the attachments on the surface of the hull and the resistance of seawater. The cleaning brush cannot always keep close to the surface of the hull, which will inevitably lead to some places on the surface of the hull not being cleaned or not being cleaned, so the robot needs to be reworked, the cleaning quality is poor, the cleaning efficiency is low, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The present invention is cleverly designed and simple in structure. By arranging paddles that can generate negative pressure above the cleaning brush, the problem of the cleaning brush tilting during cleaning in the prior art, resulting in incomplete cleaning and low cleaning efficiency, is solved, and the cleaning quality and efficiency of the bottom of the ship can be greatly improved.
