[0014] A method for removing resident seaweed from a seaweed bed, based on the aforementioned device for removing resident seaweed from a seaweed bed, includes the following steps:

[0015] Step 1: The staff places the entire device underwater. The controller controls multiple propellers to rotate, and the motors work together to control the camera to start working, thereby moving the entire device to the seabed.

[0016] Step 2: The controller controls multiple steering motors of the moving wheels and multiple moving wheel motors to work together, so that the entire device can move and turn on the seabed at the same time;

[0017] Step 3: When the entire device is moved to the vicinity of the seaweed bed where the resident seaweed needs to be removed, the controller controls the two seaweed baffle movers to start working, which in turn drives the two seaweed baffle moving rods to extend, thereby moving the seaweed baffles upward, thus opening the collection net compartment door;

[0018] Step 4: The controller controls the movement of the two feeding racks, which in turn drives the two feeding racks to extend and retract, thereby causing the feeding shaft to move up and down, so that the entire device can adapt to seaweed of different heights.

[0019] Step 5: The controller starts the feeding rack rotation motor, which drives the main gear of the feeding rack to rotate, which in turn drives the secondary gear of the feeding rack to rotate, which in turn drives the feeding shaft to rotate, which in turn drives multiple feeding ropes to rotate around the feeding shaft, thus causing the seaweed head to move into the collection net.

[0020] Step Six: The controller controls the steering motor of the moving wheel and the moving wheel motor to continue working together, thereby driving the equipment to continue moving. At the same time, the collection net roller spring and the cutting blade move accordingly, thereby completing the cutting of the resident seaweed.

[0021] Step 7: Once the collection net is full of seaweed, the controller controls the seaweed baffle mover to work in reverse, causing the seaweed baffle to move downwards, thereby closing the collection net door. The controller then moves the equipment to the water surface to complete the removal of resident seaweed.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] (1) This equipment controls the rotation of the main gear of the moving wheel by the moving wheel moving motor, which drives the rotation of the secondary gear of the moving wheel, thereby driving the moving wheel to rotate, and thus driving the entire equipment to move. At the same time, the moving wheel steering motor controls the rotation of the main gear of the moving wheel steering, which drives the rotation of the secondary gear of the moving wheel steering, thereby allowing the moving wheel fixed positioning plate to rotate, thus enabling the entire equipment to turn. The moving wheel spring of this equipment works in conjunction with the moving wheel positioning rod, which allows the entire equipment to be used on seaweed beds with different degrees of ruggedness, thereby keeping the entire equipment level at all times, facilitating seaweed cutting work, and ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.

[0024] (2) This equipment works in conjunction with the collection net roller spring and the collection net roller positioning rod, which can keep the collection net in close contact with the seaweed bed, thereby making the seaweed removal more thorough and improving the seaweed removal effect;

[0025] (3) This equipment drives the feeding frame to rotate through the motor, which in turn drives the main gear of the feeding frame to rotate, which in turn drives the feeding rope to rotate around the feeding shaft, thereby transporting the seaweed into the collection net, ensuring that all the cut seaweed enters the collection net, thus improving the seaweed removal effect.

[0026] (4) This equipment works by moving the cutting blade and cooperating with the cutting blade moving spring, which can make each cutting blade close to the seaweed bed, thereby ensuring that the seaweed is cut off at the root, thus further improving the cutting effect. At the same time, the cutting blade can move up and down because the cutting blade can move up and down, thus making the equipment suitable for different terrains, thereby increasing the range of use of the equipment.

[0027] (5) This equipment controls the retraction of the seaweed baffle moving rod through the seaweed baffle mover, which can drive the seaweed baffle to move downward, thereby allowing the collection net door to close, thus ensuring that the removed seaweed does not fall from the inside of the collection net, thereby preventing underwater environmental pollution, improving the efficiency of seaweed removal, and ensuring the effect of seaweed removal.

[0045] When the entire device moves to the vicinity of the seaweed bed to be cleared, the controller 201 controls the seaweed baffle mover 302 to operate, thereby extending the seaweed baffle moving rod 301, which in turn moves the seaweed baffle 3 upward, thus opening the door of the collection net 6. Further, the controller 201 controls the feeding rack moving controller 503 to operate, thereby extending the feeding rack moving rod 502, which in turn moves the feeding shaft 504 downward, thus moving the feeding rope 506. Finally, the controller 201 controls the feeding rack rotation motor 5... 09 operates, thereby driving the main gear 508 of the feeding frame to rotate, which in turn drives the 610 to rotate, and then drives the feeding shaft 504 to rotate, causing the feeding rope fixing plate 505 to rotate around the feeding shaft 504, thereby causing multiple feeding ropes 506 to rotate around the feeding shaft 504, thus conveying the top of the seaweed into the collection net 6. At this time, the controller 201 controls the entire device to continue moving. At this time, multiple cutting blades 9 are in close contact with the seaweed bed due to the action of the cutting blade movement 901 and the cutting blade movement spring 902. The device moves, cutting off the roots of the seaweed. The feeding rope 506 gives the seaweed inertia, transporting it into the collection net 6. The device continues to move, and the collection net roller spring 802 and the collection net roller positioning rod 805 keep the collection net 6 pressed tightly against the seaweed bed, ensuring the cut seaweed enters smoothly. When the collection net 6 is full, the controller 201 controls the seaweed baffle mover 302 to reverse, causing the two seaweed baffle moving rods 301 to retract. This causes the seaweed baffle 3 to move downwards, making it fit tightly against the collection net 6, thus preventing the seaweed inside the collection net 6 from falling out and completing the seaweed removal work. Then, the controller 201 controls the entire device to move out of the water. At this point, the staff removes the multiple top fixing rings 602 of the collection boxes and the multiple bottom positioning rings 804 of the collection net, detaching the collection net 6 from the entire device, allowing the removed seaweed to be cleared. The staff then reinstalls the collection net 6 to begin the next round of seaweed removal.

[0049] Step 1: The staff places the entire device underwater. The controller 201 then controls multiple propellers to rotate, and the motors 402 work together. The controller 201 also controls the camera 501 to start working, thereby moving the entire device to the seabed.

[0050] Step 2: The controller 201 further controls multiple moving wheel steering motors 706 and multiple moving wheel moving motors 710 to work together, so that the entire device can move and turn on the seabed at the same time;

[0051] Step 3: When the entire device moves to the vicinity of the seaweed bed where the resident seaweed needs to be removed, the controller 201 controls the two seaweed baffle movers 302 to start working, which in turn drives the two seaweed baffle moving rods 301 to extend, thereby driving the seaweed baffle 3 to move upward, thus opening the door of the collection net 6.

[0052] Step 4: Controller 201 controls the two feeding rack movement controllers 503 to work, thereby driving the two feeding rack movement rods 502 to extend and retract, thereby causing the feeding shaft 504 to move up and down, so that the entire device can adapt to seaweed of different heights.

[0053] Step 5: The controller 201 controls the feeding rack rotation motor 509 to start working, thereby driving the feeding rack rotation main gear 508 to rotate, which in turn drives the feeding rack rotation secondary gear 510 to rotate, thereby driving the feeding shaft 504 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple feeding ropes 506 to rotate around the feeding shaft 504, thereby causing the seaweed head to move into the collection net 6.

[0054] Step Six: The controller 201 controls the moving wheel steering motor 706 and the moving wheel moving motor 710 to continue working together, thereby driving the equipment to continue moving. At the same time, the collection net roller spring 802 and the cutting blade 9 move accordingly, thereby completing the cutting of the fixed seaweed.

[0055] Step 7: When the collection net 6 is filled with seaweed, the controller 201 controls the seaweed baffle mover 302 to work in reverse, so that the seaweed baffle 3 moves downward, thereby closing the door of the collection net 6. The controller 201 then controls the equipment to move to the water surface, thereby completing the removal of the established seaweed.

[0056] The working process of the seaweed removal device for seaweed beds of the present invention is as follows: When using this device, the operator places the entire device underwater. At this time, the controller 201 controls multiple propeller motors 402 to start working, thereby causing the multiple propellers 401 to rotate and the entire device to move downward. At this time, the controller 201 controls the camera 501 to start working, thereby allowing the entire device to observe the underwater environment. When the entire device reaches the seabed, the controller 201 controls multiple moving wheel motors 710 to start working, thereby causing multiple moving wheel main gears 711 to rotate, thereby driving multiple moving wheel secondary gears 712 to rotate, thereby driving multiple moving wheels 701. The device rotates, allowing it to move along the seabed. When the camera 501 detects that the device deviates from the seaweed bed to be removed, the controller 201 controls multiple moving wheel steering motors 706 to work together, thereby driving multiple moving wheel steering main gears 707 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple moving wheel steering secondary gears 708 to rotate, and in turn drives multiple moving wheel fixed positioning plates 705 to rotate, thus enabling the entire device to turn and ensuring that the movement direction of the entire device on the seabed is controllable. When the entire device moves to the vicinity of the seaweed bed to be removed, the controller 201 controls the seaweed baffle mover 302 to work, thereby extending the seaweed baffle moving rod 301 and causing the seaweed baffle 3 to move upward. The controller 201 then controls the feeding rack movement controller 503 to start working, causing the feeding rack movement rod 502 to extend, thereby causing the feeding shaft 504 to move downwards, which in turn causes the feeding rope 506 to move. Furthermore, the controller 201 controls the feeding rack rotation motor 509 to work, thereby driving the feeding rack rotation main gear 508 to rotate, which in turn drives the 610 to rotate, and further drives the feeding shaft 504 to rotate. This causes the feeding rope fixing plate 505 to rotate around the feeding shaft 504, resulting in multiple feeding ropes 506 rotating around the feeding shaft 504, thus conveying the top of the seaweed into the storage net 6. The controller 201 controls the entire device to continue moving. During this time, the multiple cutting blades 9, due to the action of the cutting blade movement 901 and the cutting blade movement spring 902, are pressed tightly against the seaweed bed. The cutting blades 9 then move, cutting off the roots of the seaweed. The feeding rope 506 gives the seaweed inertia, allowing it to be transported into the collection net 6. The device continues to move, and the collection net roller spring 802 and the collection net roller positioning rod 805 keep the collection net 6 pressed tightly against the seaweed bed, ensuring the cut seaweed smoothly enters the collection net 6. When the collection net 6 is full, the controller 201 controls the seaweed baffle mover 302 to reverse its operation.This causes the two seaweed baffle moving rods 301 to retract, thereby moving the seaweed baffles 3 downwards. This allows the seaweed baffles 3 to fit tightly against the collection net 6, preventing seaweed from falling out of the collection net 6 and completing the seaweed removal process. Next, the controller 201 moves the entire device out of the water. At this point, the operator removes the multiple top fixing rings 602 of the collection boxes and the multiple bottom positioning rings 804 of the collection net, detaching the collection net 6 from the entire device. This allows the removed seaweed to be cleared. The operator then reinstalls the collection net 6 to begin the next round of seaweed removal.
