DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] See also Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: a power assembly installed in the body of a dredging robot and used to provide driving force for the power elements on the dredging robot. The body also protects the power assembly. The power assembly includes a body water tank structure 201 installed on the bottom surface of the body. The body water tank structure 201 is sealed and welded to the body. A plurality of shock-absorbing pads 202 are provided on the inner bottom surface of the body. A motor pump group 203 is fixedly installed on the shock-absorbing end of the shock-absorbing pad 202. The shock-absorbing pad 202 can reduce the vibration generated during the operation of the motor pump group 203. The body water tank structure 201 and the bottom surface of the body are both provided with tank openings at the same position. A cooling water tank cover 204 with a sealed tank opening is provided on the inner bottom surface of the vehicle body, and the suction end of the motor pump group 203 is fixedly connected to one end of a cooling water suction pipe 205, and the other end of the cooling water suction pipe 205 passes through the bottom surface of the vehicle body and extends into the interior of the vehicle body water tank structure 201, and the output end of the motor pump group 203 is provided with one end of a cooling water inlet pipe 206, and the other end of the cooling water inlet pipe 206 is fixedly connected to the input end of the motor pump group 203, and the return end of the motor pump group 203 is fixedly connected to one end of a cooling water return pipe 207, and the other end of the cooling water return pipe 207 passes through the bottom surface of the vehicle body and extends into the interior of the vehicle body water tank structure 201.

[0019] Specifically, the motor pump group 203 includes a water-cooled motor 2031 installed on the shock-absorbing pad 202. The water-cooled motor 2031 is located at one end of the output shaft and is bolted to a bell-shaped cover 2032. One end of the bell-shaped cover 2032 is bolted to a hydraulic oil pump 2033. The output shaft of the water-cooled motor 2031 is connected to the input shaft of the hydraulic oil pump 2033 through a coupling. One end of the hydraulic oil pump 2033 is bolted to a cooling water pump 2034. The input shaft of the cooling water pump 2034 is connected to the output shaft of the hydraulic oil pump 2033 through a key. During operation, the water-cooled motor converts electrical energy into kinetic energy of the output shaft, which is output to the input shaft of the hydraulic oil pump 2033. The output shaft of the hydraulic oil pump 2033 is then output to the input shaft of the cooling water pump 2034, thereby driving the circulation of cooling water and hydraulic oil. The suction end of the cooling water pump 2034 is connected to one end of the cooling water suction pipe 205, the output end of the cooling water pump 2034 is connected to one end of the cooling water inlet pipe 206, the other end of the water inlet pipe 206 is connected to the input end of the water-cooled motor 2031, and the return end of the water-cooled motor 2031 is connected to one end of the cooling water return pipe 207. When the cooling water pump 2034 is running, the cooling water suction pipe 205 draws cooling water from the vehicle body water tank structure 201, enters the cooling water flow channel in the inner cavity of the water-cooled motor 2031 through the cooling water inlet pipe 206, and then returns to the vehicle body water tank structure 201 through the cooling water return pipe 207. The cooling water suction pipe 205 and the cooling water return pipe 207 are respectively arranged at both ends of the vehicle body water tank structure 201 to ensure that the cooling water has a sufficient flow distance in the vehicle body water tank structure 201 to enhance the heat exchange effect.

[0020] The vehicle body water tank structure 201, the cooling water suction pipe 205, the cooling water pump 2034, the cooling water inlet pipe 206 and the cooling water return pipe 207 form a closed internal circulation cooling system, which transfers the heat generated during the operation of the water-cooled motor 2031 to the cooling water. When the robot is operating normally, the vehicle body water tank structure 201 is immersed in water, thereby transferring the heat to the external water body, forming an open cooling system.

[0021] Specifically, there are ventilation holes on the side wall of the bell-shaped cover 2032, which facilitate the timely heat dissipation of the mechanical seal at the output end of the water-cooled motor 2031 and the coupling in the bell-shaped cover 2032 during operation.

[0022] Specifically, the vehicle body water tank structure 1 is a welded closed water tank.

[0023] Specifically, the shock-absorbing pad 202 is fixedly mounted on the inner bottom surface of the vehicle body through the mounting base 208. The mounting base 208 is also designed with a strong toggle plate to enhance its stability and firmness.

[0024] Specifically, the shock-absorbing pad 202 is a double-headed stud structure, which can effectively reduce vibration transmission after installation.

[0025] Working principle: When the cooling water pump 2034 in the present invention is in operation, the cooling water suction pipe 205 draws cooling water from the vehicle body water tank structure 201, enters the cooling water flow channel of the inner cavity of the water-cooled motor 2031 through the cooling water inlet pipe 206, and then returns to the vehicle body water tank structure 201 through the cooling water return pipe 207. The cooling water suction pipe 205 and the cooling water return pipe 207 are respectively arranged on both sides of the surface of the vehicle body water tank structure 201 to ensure that the cooling water has enough flow distance in the vehicle body water tank structure 201 to enhance the heat exchange effect. The vehicle body water tank structure 201, the cooling water suction pipe 205, the cooling water pump 2034, the cooling water inlet pipe 206 and the cooling water return pipe 207 form a closed internal circulation cooling system, which transfers the heat generated during the operation of the water-cooled motor 2031 to the cooling water. When the robot is operating normally, the vehicle body water tank structure 201 is immersed in water, thereby transferring the heat to the external water body, forming an open cooling system.

[0026] In order to effectively fix the motor pump unit and reduce the vibration generated during the operation of the water-cooled motor, a mounting base with a strong elbow plate and a shock-absorbing pad are designed. The shock-absorbing pad is a double-headed stud structure, which can effectively reduce vibration transmission after installation.
