Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of firefighting equipment, and in particular to an underwater robot deployment system for firefighting and rescue. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the progress of society, the application of robots is becoming more and more extensive, and various types of robots have emerged. General robots include: sweeping robots, support robots, underwater robots, etc. Among them, underwater robots can be divided into observation-level and operation-level: observation-level ROVs are smaller in size and weight, have a lower load, are equipped with cameras, and are often used for underwater video monitoring. The equipment has weak scalability and relatively single functions; operation-level ROVs are mainly used in underwater construction, emergency firefighting, scientific research and other fields. They can be equipped with hydraulic or electric underwater manipulators and can perform underwater operations such as underwater salvage, underwater construction, underwater grabbing, underwater sampling, and underwater marking. However, the equipment is often bulky, noisy, complex to operate, and expensive (CN107444595A).

[0003] Currently, underwater robots used for underwater rescue operations rely primarily on safety ropes to secure them. Ground-based command personnel cannot determine the robot's position in real time, and the ropes are prone to tangling, endangering the robot's safety. Furthermore, ground-based command personnel have no control over the robot's underwater rescue operations, making it difficult to deploy or mobilize additional underwater rescue forces. In particular, current firefighting underwater robots require manual transport to the surface, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a system for deploying underwater robots for firefighting and rescue, which uses the boom of an electric remote-controlled crane to lower the underwater robot from the bridge deck / ground to the water surface, so as to solve the problem in the above-mentioned background technology that the underwater robot for firefighting needs to be manually transported to the water surface, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A fire rescue underwater robot deployment system comprises: a frame base on which an underwater robot, a crane, a generator set, a control box, a power supply box, a hydraulic pump, a cable winch, a load-bearing rope winch, and an underwater robot rescue mechanism are arranged; wherein:

[0007] The underwater robot is fixed in front of the crane via a dedicated structure for the underwater robot base;

[0008] The frame base is provided with movable legs on the left and right sides and telescopic legs on the front and rear ends;

[0009] The generator set, the crane, and the underwater robot demolition mechanism are placed in sequence parallel to the moving direction of the trailer. The control box, power box, hydraulic pump, generator set, and cable winch are all located on the same side of the crane, and the underwater robot demolition mechanism is located on the other side of the crane.

[0010] The frame base is located on the trailer chassis, and a towing rod is provided at the front end of the trailer chassis, through which the towing rod is connected to the trailer;

[0011] The crane is a folding arm crane, which is fixed to the frame base through a crane support. Its crane legs are axially placed front and back, and the front and rear crane legs are connected as a whole; its hooks are respectively connected to the load-bearing rope winch and the umbilical cable wrapped around the cable winch. The underwater robot is put into underwater operation or lifted out of the water by the extension and contraction of the crane's boom.

[0012] Preferably, the angle formed by the tangent line of the trailer chassis end, the wheel thereunder and the ground is 15°.

[0013] Preferably, the cable winch is an electric device with an inner diameter of 35 cm and a width of 50 cm, and the umbilical cable wound thereon has a diameter of 1.5 cm.

[0014] Preferably, the hook of the crane is an automatic unhooking mechanism when falling into water, including an automatic unhooking mechanism, which is connected to the load-bearing rope winch and the umbilical cable wrapped around the cable winch through a load-bearing rope.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The fire rescue underwater robot deployment system of the present invention utilizes the crane's boom to lower the underwater robot from the bridge deck / ground to the water surface, saving time and effort.

[0017] 2. In the present invention, a special pulley designed on the boom is used to connect the underwater robot, and the surface robot is connected through a hook. The umbilical cable is connected to the hook, and the umbilical cable is rotated by a cable winch. At the same time, the hook is designed with an automatic unhooking mechanism when it falls into the water. The control box, power box, hydraulic pump, generator set and cable winch are combined to provide power for the underwater robot and the crane. The underwater robot can be conveniently placed into the water for operation or lifted out of the water through electric remote control. At the same time, a special pulley cable is designed to lift the underwater robot structure, which can separate the load-bearing rope and the cable to prevent potential risks such as entanglement during the lifting of the underwater robot.

[0018] 3. The underwater robot deployment system for firefighting and rescue in the present invention is mainly composed of a trailer chassis, a boom, telescopic legs, a generator set and other parts. A special fixed position is designed on the trailer to place the underwater robot, control box, underwater robot demolition mechanism, etc., which is convenient for firefighters to use for underwater rescue and demolition transportation.

[0019] 4. The fire rescue underwater robot deployment system of the present invention is designed with a dedicated fixed structure for each module of the underwater robot. The space layout on the trailer is reasonable, space-saving and easy to operate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
