Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of maintenance robot technology, specifically to a power distribution system for a ship hull composite surface maintenance robot. Background Technology
[0002] The robot is lowered from the bottom deck to the outer wall of the ship using a rope. The electromagnets on the robot's tracks are activated, causing it to adhere to the outer wall. The operator controls the robot's movement by using cables in conjunction with the distributed sensors and searchlights on the robot. After detecting dirt, the operator manipulates the robot to move towards the dirt and uses visual sensors to identify the dirt and select a cleaning brush. The selected cleaning brush rotates through the cleaning brush head conversion frame to reach the work area and performs cleaning work in the opposite direction of movement.
[0003] The maintenance robot has an internal circuit system. When the circuit system needs to be repaired or protected, it needs to be removed from the robot. Simply opening the protective cover of the circuit system will not allow for the repair of every part of the circuit system. Circuits in corners cannot be easily repaired. Summary of the Invention

An extension rod is fixed in the insertion hole, and a sleeve is fitted on the surface of the extension rod. The sleeve can move on the surface of the extension rod. A spring is set inside the sleeve. One end of the spring is connected to the end of the extension rod, and the other end is connected to the inside of the sleeve. The spring has a pulling force on the sleeve, so that the sleeve fits on the surface of the extension rod. The diameter of the sleeve is the same as the diameter of the insertion hole, and the sleeve can be inserted into the insertion hole.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the connecting rod is connected to the surface of the horizontal plate, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the arc plate. A first supporting plate is fixed on the surface of the arc plate. The first supporting plate is located at both ends of the arc plate, and the surface of the first supporting plate is provided with teeth. When the first supporting plate supports the surface of the support block, the teeth on the surface of the first supporting plate engage with the teeth on the surface of the support block.
[0012] Preferably, a second top support plate is fixed to the bottom of the fixing frame. The second top support plate moves with the fixing frame and then contacts the hook. The hook hangs on the surface of the second top support plate and moves with the second top support plate. The support block moves with the hook.
[0013] Preferably, a force-bearing strip is fixed to the surface of the arc-shaped plate. The force-bearing strip moves with the arc-shaped plate and then presses against the surface of the hook. After the hook presses against the force-bearing strip, the force-bearing strip moves, allowing the telescopic rod to be inserted into the interior of the extension block.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the fixing frame is provided with a force-bearing wheel, and multiple sets of force-bearing wheels are provided. The force-bearing wheels can rotate at the bottom of the arc-shaped groove. When the fixing frame is located on top of the support block, the force-bearing wheels support the surface of the support block, and the force-bearing wheels contact the surface of the support block when they rotate.

[0019] This invention proposes removing the fixing cover from the robot's surface. Pulling the handle allows the sleeve to be pulled out of the insertion hole, and the sleeve moves on the surface of the extension rod, causing the fixing frame to be removed from the slot. During the movement of the fixing frame, the second top holding plate is hooked by the hook. As the fixing frame moves, it pulls the support block out of the robot's interior. When the fixing frame moves to a position where the hook is no longer holding the surface of the force bar, the telescopic rod drives the arc plate to move, causing the position of the first top holding plate to shift. After releasing the pull on the handle, the spring inside the sleeve pulls the fixing frame, causing the first top holding plate to abut against the surface of the support block, and the surface of the support block is provided with teeth. The surface of the first support plate is provided with teeth. The teeth on the surface of the first support plate support the surface of the toothed plate, stabilizing the angle of the fixed frame. Rotating the fixed frame causes the force wheel to rotate on the surface of the support block, thereby adjusting the angle of the fixed frame. After the angle of the fixed frame is adjusted, the angle of the circuit system fixed inside the fixed frame can be adjusted, which facilitates maintenance of each position of the circuit system. Pushing the force bar causes the telescopic rod to be inserted into the interior of the extension block. Under the pull of the spring inside the sleeve tube, the fixed frame is retracted into the slot, and the force wheel can be located in the arc groove. The support block can be inserted into the interior of the robot and will not be exposed to the outside. Attached Figure Description

After the hook 13 abuts against the force-bearing strip 16, the force-bearing strip 16 moves, so that the telescopic rod 8 is inserted into the interior of the extension block 7. When the fixing frame 5 moves to the point where the hook 13 is no longer abutting against the surface of the force-bearing strip 16, the telescopic rod 8 drives the arc plate 11 to move, so that the position of the first support plate 10 moves.

[0033] Remove the fixing cover 2 from the surface of the robot 1, pull the handle 20 to pull the sleeve 26 out of the insertion hole 22, and move the sleeve 26 on the surface of the extension rod 23, so that the fixing frame 5 is taken out of the slot 3. During the movement of the fixing frame 5, the second top plate 12 is hooked by the hook 13. During the movement of the fixing frame 5, the support block 15 is pulled out from the inside of the robot 1, and when the fixing frame 5 moves to the point where the hook 13 is no longer pressing against the surface of the force bar 16, the telescopic rod 8 drives the arc plate 11 to move, so that the position of the first top plate 10 is moved.

After the angle of the fixed frame 5 is adjusted, the circuit system fixed inside the fixed frame 5 can be adjusted in angle, which facilitates maintenance of each position of the circuit system. Pushing the force bar 16 causes the telescopic rod 8 to be inserted into the extension block 7. Under the pull of the spring inside the sleeve tube 26, the fixed frame 5 is retracted into the slot 3, and the force wheel 27 can be located in the arc groove 25. The support block 15 can be inserted into the robot 1 and will not be exposed to the outside.
