[0002] In the technical field of automatic refueling robots for ships, a refueling ship usually uses a mechanical arm to support and drive a mechanical claw to move, and uses the mechanical claw to clamp and grab a refueling gun, and uses the visual sensor of a 3D optical machine to automatically identify the object graphics, calibrate the position of the oil filling hole, and guide the mechanical arm to drive the refueling gun grabbed by the mechanical claw to move, so that the refueling gun moves out of the refueling ship, and crosses the sea area between the refueling ship and the refueled ship to the range on the refueled ship, and at the same time accurately aligns and inserts it into the oil filling hole to perform refueling. However, traditional intelligent positioning automatic refueling robots for ships still have problems in actual operation.

The slider 27 can translate along the guide bar 26 and the arc bar 52 under the support of the sleeve plate 25 under the action of external force.
[0030] Any rotating parts include: A support cover 28 is fixed to a side of the slider 27 away from the guide bar 26; The ball 29 is rotatably embedded in the inner side of the support cover 28 and penetrates the side of the support cover 28 away from the slider 27; The perforations 30 are evenly and symmetrically formed on the outer side of the sphere 29; The connecting support part passes through the through hole 30 and the support cover 28 and is disposed between the ball 29 and the mechanical claw 13 .
[0031] Specifically, the support cover 28 can provide a housing space and a support and limiting function for the ball 29 under the support of the slider 27, and can provide a rotation space for the ball 29. The ball 29 can be a perforation 30 and a space, and the perforation 30 can provide a through channel for the elastic band 32.
[0032] The connecting parts include: Through holes 31 are evenly and symmetrically arranged throughout the interior of the support cover 28; There are four elastic bands 32, and the four elastic bands 32 are arranged through the through holes 30 and the through holes 31 to elastically connect the ball 29 with the support cover 28; A fixed column 33, fixed at a position where the ball 29 is away from the slider 27; One end of the reinforcing rod 34 is fixed to the outside of the fixing column 33 , and the other end is fixedly connected to the mechanical claw 13 .

[0034] The staff can control the movement of the refueling gun 14 clamped by the mechanical claw 13 through the mechanical arm 10 under the support of the slide 4 according to the actual needs, so that the refueling gun 14 is inserted into the oil filling port of the ship to be refueled for refueling. During refueling, the shaking and swaying of the ship will be transmitted to the mechanical claw 13 through the refueling gun 14, so that the mechanical claw 13 pushes the ball 29 through the reinforcement rod 34 and the fixed column 33 under the action of external force, so that the ball 29 pulls the elastic band 32 according to the direction of the external force under the action of the external force and the support of the support cover 28. At the same time, the ball 29 will transmit the external force to the slider 27 through the elastic band 32, so that the slider 27 can be laterally translated along the guide bar 26 and the arc bar 52 under the action of the external force and the support of the sleeve plate 25. At the same time, the external force will be transmitted to the sleeve plate 25 through the slider 27 and the guide bar 26, so that the sleeve plate 25 can move in the direction away from the H frame 16 under the action of the tension generated by the shaking of the ship. At the same time, the sleeve plate 25 will use external force to stretch the telescopic rod 24 with the support of the C plate 19 during the movement, and use friction to push the roller 23 to roll on the inner side of the movable groove 21, so that the sleeve plate 25 can be translated forward and backward along the C plate 19. At the same time, the external force will be transmitted to the C plate 19 through the sleeve plate 25 and the telescopic rod 24, so that the C plate 19 can move up and down along the through groove 17 under the action of the external force, and in the process of movement, cooperate with the support and resistance of the H frame 16 to squeeze or stretch the spring 20, so that the spring 20 accumulates energy. When the external force disappears, the spring 20 will use the rebound force to push the C plate 19 to move and reset under the support of the H frame 16, and use the elastic force to provide support for the C plate 19 under the support of the H frame 16, so that the mechanical claw 13 is protected from the shaking and swaying of the ship at sea when clamping the refueling gun 14 and inserting it into the refueling port for refueling, thereby avoiding major accidents during refueling and improving safety.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotary protector comprises: The support ring 35 is sleeved on the outer side of the robot arm 10 through the bearing; The support frame 36 is fixed to the outside of the support ring 35 and is arranged around the translation member, the rotation member, the mechanical claw 13 and the refueling gun 14; The protective part is fixedly connected to the support frame 36.

The second stop block and the first stop block are staggered to resist the clockwise rotation of the support ring 35 in a natural state, and the support frame 36 can provide support for the shield 37.
[0037] Protective parts include: The shield 37 is fixed below the support frame 36 and connected to the support ring 35; The support plate 40 is symmetrically fixed above the support frame 36 and is located at a position of the support frame 36 away from the support ring 35; The bellows 41 is fixed to one end of the support plate 40 away from the support frame 36 , and is fixedly connected to one end of the support frame 36 away from the support ring 35 .
[0038] Specifically, the shield 37 can provide stable support for the support plate 40 under the support of the support frame 36, so that the support plate 40 can stably support the corrugated cover 41. The corrugated cover 41 can provide a moving space for the refueling gun 14, and can provide protection for the refueling gun 14. It can fit with the oil filling port and be squeezed and folded after the refueling gun 14 is inserted into the oil filling port. After the refueling gun 14 is pulled out of the oil filling port, the corrugated cover 41 will use its own elasticity to rebound and unfold.
[0039] Active parts include: An opening is formed through the interior of the shield 37; A spring 38 is fixed to the outside of the shield 37 and is located above the opening; The protective cover 39 is disposed on the inner side of the opening and connected to an end of the reed 38 away from the protective cover 37 .
[0040] Specifically, the shield 37 can provide stable support for the reed 38, and the reed 38 has a certain elasticity and can provide support for the protective cover 39, while the opening can provide a through passage and placement space for the protective cover 39. The protective cover 39 cooperates with the shield 37 to provide protection for its inner parts.
[0041] In the actual application of this embodiment, when the mechanical arm 10 controls the mechanical claw 13 to move and clamp the refueling gun 14 through the connecting column 15, the protective cover 39 will be pushed downward during the movement, so that the protective cover 39 pushes the spring 38 to deform and store energy under the action of external force and the support of the shield 37, and at the same time forces the protective cover 39 to move out from the inside of the opening to the outside to provide a passage for the mechanical claw 13 to pass through the opening. After the mechanical claw 13 passes through the opening to clamp the refueling gun 14, the mechanical claw 13 can be controlled to move by the mechanical arm 10. To the inner side of the shield 37, when the mechanical claw 13 drives the refueling gun 14 to move to the inner side of the shield 37, the output end of the refueling gun 14 will be on the inner side of the corrugated cover 41. At the same time, the reed 38 will use the rebound force under the support of the shield 37 to push the protective cover 39 to move to the inner side of the opening, so that the protective cover 39 moves to the inner side of the opening and fits with the shield 37, and then cooperates with the shield 37 to provide protection for the refueling gun 14, the mechanical claw 13, a part of the mechanical arm 10 and the shaking part to prevent them from being splashed with sea water and corroded.
[0042] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the trigger comprises: A pressing plate 44 is fixed above the bellows 41; Specifically, the connecting plate 42 is fixed to the support frame 36 and is located between the bellows 41 and the support plate 40; The metering sensor 43 is fixed to the end of the connecting plate 42 away from the support frame 36 and is located inside the bellows 41 and above the refueling gun 14; The trigger also includes: The switch 45 is fixed on the outside of the bellows 41 and is located at a position of the bellows 41 close to the support plate 40 and corresponding to the position of the pressure plate 44 .
[0043] The bellows 41 can provide a stable support for the pressure plate 44 and the switch 45, and the connecting plate 42 can provide a stable support for the metering sensor 43. The metering sensor 43 can be inserted into the oil filling port together with the refueling gun 14 to measure the amount of oil injected. If the oil gun and the oil filling port are accidentally detached, a stop oil supply command is issued to ensure accurate calculation and measurement of the oil amount.
[0044] When the bellows 41 is squeezed and folded, the pressure plate 44 will be driven to move towards the support plate 40 under the action of external force, so that the pressure plate 44 squeezes the switch 45 under the action of external force and the support of the bellows 41, so that the switch 45 is triggered and the electric rod 47 is controlled to retract. When the bellows 41 is unfolded by elastic force, the pressure plate 44 will separate from the switch 45, the switch 45 will pop up, and the electric rod 47 will be controlled to extend.
[0045] The executive parts include: The electric rod 47 has a fixed end fixed to the support cover 28 and a telescopic end extending toward the direction close to the robot arm 10; A swivel column 48 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric rod 47; The threaded cylinder 49 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating column 48 .
[0046] Specifically, the executive parts also include: The support plate 46 is fixed on the support cover 28 and is located in the direction where the elastic band 32 is close to the H frame 16; Bolt 50 is provided through H frame 16 and is threadedly connected to connecting column 15; The threaded hole 51 is formed at one end of the bolt 50 away from the connecting column 15 and is threadedly connected to the threaded barrel 49 .
[0047] In actual application of this embodiment, the support cover 28 can provide stable support for the support plate 46, so that the support plate 46 can stably support the electric rod 47, and the electric rod 47 can provide stable support for the swivel column 48, and the swivel column 48 can provide rotational support for the threaded cylinder 49. The threaded cylinder 49 can use the threaded cooperation with the threaded hole 51 under the action of external force to realize rotation under the support of the swivel column 48. The bolt 50 can provide a space for the threaded hole 51, and the threaded hole 51 can be threadedly connected with the threaded cylinder 49 and can provide a moving space for the threaded cylinder 49. The bolt 50, the threaded hole 51, the threaded cylinder 49, the swivel column 48, the electric rod 47, the support plate 46 and the support cover 28 can cooperate to fix the translation part and prevent the translation part from moving.
[0048] When the switch 45 is triggered, the electric rod 47 will shrink under the support of the support plate 46, and pull the threaded tube 49 to translate in the direction away from the H frame 16 through the rotary column 48. While moving, the threaded tube 49 will rotate with the rotary column 48 as the center under the support of the bolt 50 and the rotary column 48 by utilizing the threaded action with the threaded hole 51, and the threaded tube 49 will gradually separate from the bolt 50 through the threaded hole 51 by means of rotation and movement, and then when the refueling gun 14 is inserted into the refueling port to squeeze the corrugated cover 41, the fixation of the translation part is released, so that the translation part can play a role in refueling.
[0049] When the switch 45 pops up, the electric rod 47 will extend under the support of the support plate 46, and pull the threaded tube 49 to translate in the direction close to the H frame 16 through the rotary column 48. While moving, the threaded tube 49 will rotate under the support of the rotary column 48 by utilizing the action of the threaded hole 51 and the thread, and utilize the rotation and movement power to make the threaded tube 49 threadedly connected with the threaded hole 51, and gradually move in the direction close to the connecting column 15, and then threadedly connected with the bolt 50, thereby playing the role of fixing the translation part.
[0050] Working principle: when refueling is needed, the motor 5 is started, so that it uses the driving end to drive the gear 6 to rotate, the gear 6 engages with the rack 7, and transmits power to the slide 4, thereby pushing the robot arm 10 to move left and right along the guide rod 3. The slide 4 also supports the motor 9 and the robot arm 10. Therefore, when the motor 9 is started, the robot arm 10 will rotate, so that the robot arm 10 and its connected parts (including the mechanical claw 13 and the refueling gun 14) can move to a suitable refueling position.
[0051] The refueling gun 14 is clamped and fixed in the mechanical claw 13, and the mechanical claw 13 is smoothly moved to the oil filling port of the ship through the control of the mechanical arm 10. During the refueling process, the swaying of the ship will be transmitted to the mechanical claw 13 through the refueling gun 14. At this time, the rocking part can alleviate the instability caused by the shaking of the ship through the mutual cooperation of components such as the translation part, the rotating part, the roller 23, the spring 20, the elastic band 32, the ball 29 and the slider 27, so that the refueling gun 14 can maintain a stable state. The mutual cooperation enables the mechanical claw 13 to adapt to the external force of the waves. In this way, although the ship may sway due to waves during the refueling process, the mechanical claw 13 can also stabilize the refueling gun 14, ensure the safety and accuracy of refueling, prevent the refueling gun 14 from having unexpected situations during the refueling process, and improve the safety of the ship's refueling at sea.
[0052] By connecting the rotating guard in the protection part with the robot arm 10, the protection part can resist seawater erosion and extend the service life of the refueling robot.
[0053] Through the combination of the visual sensor 12 and the neural network, the robot's autonomous navigation and positioning function in a complex environment is realized. After the visual sensor 12 collects images, the image processing and learning system is used to analyze the information of the ship and the surrounding environment to ensure that the robotic arm 10 can move accurately to the refueling port, which can reduce human intervention and improve refueling efficiency.
[0054] When the refueling gun 14 is inserted into the ship's oil filling port and refueling begins, the metering sensor 43 will monitor the amount of injected oil in real time and issue a stop command when the oil gun accidentally falls off to prevent over-refueling. At the same time, the trigger cooperates with the electric rod 47. When the refueling gun 14 completes its task, the trigger controls the electric rod 47 to release the fixation of the refueling gun 14, allowing it to return to its original position automatically.
[0055] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
