Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of surface debris cleaning, and in particular to an unmanned intelligent surface debris cleaning robot applicable to narrow waterways. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most of the trash in the water comes from land-based waste, primarily plastics. These plastics not only pollute the water but also seriously harm aquatic life. However, once these plastics enter the water, they don't immediately sink to the bottom but float on the surface for a period of time. This period is the optimal time to clean up this surface trash, which is generally handled by automated or manual methods.
[0003] The most common manual cleanup method involves cleaning staff or security guards from various units making simple retrieval devices to manually remove trash from the water surface. Some of these devices are discarded after use, while others break during retrieval due to weak connections, falling into the water and creating new trash. Furthermore, some artificial rock formations and caves are too far away for these simple devices to reach, and even if they are, cleaning staff often struggle to apply sufficient force. Therefore, this method is not very effective.
[0004] Automated cleaning typically employs aquatic cleaning robots, a type of intelligent water conservancy and environmental protection equipment. These robots are automated or semi-automatic machines that participate in and execute the process of cleaning floating debris on the water surface. Aquatic cleaning robots utilize existing hydraulic systems, intelligent control systems, and data acquisition systems to perform all or part of the functions of identifying, collecting, salvaging, cutting, compressing, packaging, stacking, and transferring floating debris, ultimately completing the cleaning of the floating debris. However, existing cleaning robots may only be able to absorb small pieces of debris during the garbage collection process, making it difficult for them to achieve a large-area garbage capacity. They may only collect a portion of the garbage, unable to collect large quantities. A relatively common type of aquatic cleaning robot is the remote-controlled water cleaning boat. These boats are mostly designed for artificial or natural lakes in parks or large water recreation areas. They can clean larger pieces of debris on the water surface and have built-in garbage bins. However, these products have difficulty accessing hard-to-reach areas such as artificial hills and caves to clean up debris. Summary of the Invention
