[0003] However, there are currently no specialized tools to remove garbage adhering to the outer surface of ships. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Water enters the water storage chamber of the water supply fixed shaft through the water inlet channel, and flows out from each water outlet inclined hole into the corresponding independent space;

[0008] The water flow causes the rotating wing plate at the bottom of the independent space to rotate counterclockwise downwards. The rotating wing plate causes the cleaning drum to rotate counterclockwise, and the cleaning drum causes each cleaning impact head to impact the outer side of the ship's hull.

[0009] At the same time, water is sprayed from the individual water outlet micro-holes of the cleaning impact head of each elastic tube corresponding to the independent space, washing away the garbage that has fallen onto the hull surface.

[0010] After the cleaning drum rotates to a certain angle, the water flowing out from each of the inclined water outlets flows into another independent space, and the above process is repeated to continue cleaning.

[0011] With the flatbed car stationary, the cleaning mechanism of the present invention can clean the outer side of the hull from top to bottom under the drive of the lifting mechanism; by changing the front and rear positions of the two slide rails on the two slide rods, the cleaning mechanism can clean the outer side of the hull from front to back.

[0016] The structure of the lifting rod base plate, two longitudinal pressure plates, and two pressure springs of this invention allows the springs, two longitudinal pressure plates, and lifting rod base plate to drive the left upright, lifting screw, right upright, lifting plate, and cleaning mechanism to adaptively swing along with the hull. This ensures that the left and right limit rollers are always pressed against the outer surface of the hull, and that the elastic tube and cleaning impact head maintain a stable distance from the outer surface of the hull. The cleaning mechanism can then stably clean the outer surface of the hull.

[0017] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a geared motor, a worm gear connected to the shaft of the geared motor, a turbine gear connected to the worm gear, a vertically extending lifting screw connected to the middle of the turbine gear, a left upright on the lifting rod base plate located to the left of the lifting screw, and a right upright on the lifting rod base plate located to the right of the lifting screw; both the left and right uprights are slidably connected to the lifting plate, the lifting screw is threadedly connected to the lifting plate, and a fixed baffle is provided at the upper end of the left upright, the left upright, and the lifting screw.

The two pressure springs are compressed. When the pressure decreases, the elastic force of the two pressure springs sequentially drives the lifting rod base plate, left upright, lifting screw, right upright, lifting plate, and cleaning mechanism to reset.
