[0041] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 One embodiment of the present invention provides an underwater facade concrete construction equipment, including: an equipment body 100, a walking mechanism 200, a moving propulsion mechanism 300, a sinking and floating propulsion mechanism 400 and a flipping drive mechanism 500.
[0042] The equipment body 100 is used to provide installation positions for various mechanisms and to carry various mechanisms to complete corresponding work; one end surface of the equipment body 100 is a construction surface, and a construction joint 600 is provided on the construction surface, which is used to carry an actuator to complete various constructions, and the actuator includes a high-pressure water jet roughening device, a concrete spraying device, a camera, a detection radar, etc.; the upper and lower ends of the equipment body 100 are provided with an installation cavity 110, and a support frame 700 is provided in the installation cavity 110; the support frame 700 includes a first installation plate 710, a second installation plate 720 and a third installation plate 73 0; two first mounting plates 710 are symmetrically arranged in the mounting cavity 110, and the second mounting plates 720 are arranged at both ends of the two first mounting plates 710, and the two first mounting plates 710 are connected by the second mounting plates 720; one end of the third mounting plate 730 is connected to the first mounting plate 710, and four third mounting plates 730 are symmetrically arranged in the mounting cavity 110, and each third mounting plate 730 is connected to the first mounting plate 710, and an elastic member 740 is arranged at the connection between one end of each third mounting plate 730 and the first mounting plate 710.
[0043] The walking mechanism 200 is used to drive the whole equipment to walk in accordance with the construction surface during operation and to drive the whole equipment to turn, etc. The walking mechanism 200 is symmetrically arranged at the upper and lower ends and the front and rear ends of the equipment body 100 in the construction direction; specifically: the other end of each third mounting plate 730 (i.e., the end away from the elastic member 740) is provided with a walking mechanism 200. The walking mechanism 200 adopts a Mecanum wheel. Due to the special structural design of the Mecanum wheel, each wheel consists of a hub and a roller around the hub, and the axis of the roller is at a 45-degree angle to the axis of the hub. This design allows the wheel to roll forward while sliding laterally, thereby realizing the full-scale movement of the whole equipment; at the same time, by adjusting the speed and rotation direction of each wheel, various modes of movement can be combined, including forward movement, lateral movement, oblique movement, rotation and combinations thereof. This enables the whole equipment to be equipped with Mecanum wheels and move flexibly in a narrow or limited space.
[0044] The mobile propulsion mechanism 300 is used to realize the forward movement and turning of the equipment main body 100 and provide corresponding force for the equipment main body 100 to be close to the working surface, and includes a corresponding posture adjustment motor to realize fine-tuning and correction of the posture; a cavity is arranged inside the equipment main body 100, and the mobile propulsion mechanism 300 is arranged in the cavity of the equipment main body 100; the mobile propulsion mechanism 300 includes a first propeller 310 and a first drive motor 320, and the first propeller 310 is connected to the output end of the first drive motor 320, and the first propeller 310 is driven to rotate by the first drive motor 320; wherein, two groups of the first propeller 310 and the first drive motor 320 are arranged in the cavity inside the equipment main body 100, and the two groups of the first propeller 310 and the first drive motor 320 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right in the construction direction of the equipment main body 100.
[0045] Among them, the cavity of the equipment body 100 is provided with water inlets 120, the same number as the first propeller 310, which are used to allow water to flow into the interior of the equipment body 100, so that the first propeller 310 can use the water flow to push the whole; a protective net 800 is provided at the water inlet 120 to prevent debris in the water and waste residue generated during operation from getting stuck in the first propeller 310.
[0046] The sinking and floating propulsion mechanism 400 is used to achieve fine-tuning and correction of the posture. The sinking and floating propulsion mechanism 400 can complete the ups and downs and rotation of the equipment body 100 underwater, and correspondingly also includes a propeller and a posture adjustment motor to achieve the adjustment of the underwater lifting posture; the sinking and floating propulsion mechanism 400 is symmetrically arranged at the left and right ends of the construction direction of the equipment body 100; a single sinking and floating propulsion mechanism 400 includes a hollow floating plate 410, a second propeller 420 and a second drive motor 430; the second propeller 420 is symmetrically arranged inside the hollow floating plate 410. Two, the output end of the second drive motor 430 is connected to the second propeller 420, and the second propeller 420 is driven by the second drive motor 430 to rotate.
[0047] The flipping drive mechanism 500 is connected to the sinking and floating propulsion mechanism 400, and is used to drive the sinking and floating propulsion mechanism 400 to flip, so as to complete the switching of the construction surface of the equipment main body 100; specifically: the flipping drive mechanism 500 is installed in the equipment main body 100, and the output end of the flipping drive mechanism 500 is rotatably connected to the side of the hollow floating plate 410 close to the equipment main body 100, and the flipping drive mechanism 500 drives the hollow floating plate 410 to drive the equipment main body 100 to flip, thereby completing the switching of the construction surface.
[0048] Reference Figure 3-Figure 5 , a principle and workflow of this embodiment are as follows:
[0049] The specific working method is selected according to the specific conditions of the underwater facade building. Taking the underwater facade cleaning operation as an example, a high-pressure water jet roughening device is installed on the construction joint 600 of the construction surface of the equipment body 100. After the operation equipment (high-pressure water jet roughening device) is installed, the entire device is put into the water. When the device is put into the water, the hollow floating plate 410 makes the entire device float on the water surface. Figure 3 shown.
[0050] After the whole equipment floats on the water surface, it is driven jointly by the moving propulsion mechanism 300 and the sinking and floating propulsion mechanism 400, and the flipping drive mechanism 500 assists in adjusting the posture, so as to drive the whole equipment to the predetermined construction position. Specifically, the first driving motors 320 symmetrically arranged inside the equipment body 100 respectively drive the first propellers 310 connected to them respectively, and the equipment body 100 is pushed forward under the drive of the first propellers 310. At the same time, the second driving motors 430 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the equipment body 100 respectively drive the second propellers 420 connected to them respectively, so that the equipment body 100 sinks, that is, the equipment body 100 moves forward and sinks under the joint action of the moving propulsion mechanism 300 and the sinking and floating propulsion mechanism 400, and the flipping drive mechanism 500 is driven at the same time to assist the equipment body 100 in adjusting its position until the whole equipment reaches the predetermined construction position.
[0051] When the whole equipment reaches the predetermined construction position, taking the underwater facade cleaning operation as an example (i.e., the operation is performed with the high-pressure water jet roughening equipment), the equipment body 100 is pushed by the first propeller 310, and the reaction force generated by the water flow enables the equipment body 100 to be close to the working surface to ensure the construction distance; when the equipment body 100 is close to the construction surface, the movement of the equipment body 100 at this time depends on the walking mechanism 200, that is, the Mecanum wheel drives the equipment body 100 to walk close to the construction surface, and uses the high-pressure water jet roughening equipment to perform high-pressure cleaning on the construction surface while walking, such as Figure 5 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of a construction walking route for the overall equipment to construct the construction surface. The construction surface is operated in a layer-by-layer operation mode. When the operation of one layer is completed, the equipment body 100 sinks under the action of the second propeller 420. While sinking, the first propeller 310 adjusts the distance. During the entire operation process, the second propeller 420 is working to overcome the buoyancy generated by the hollow floating plate 410; subsequent construction is carried out according to the above cycle. When the operation of the construction surface is completed, the second propeller 420 stops running, so that the equipment body floats up under the buoyancy of the hollow floating plate 410 to recover the equipment.
[0052] It should be noted that, since the surface of the underwater facade building is immersed in water for a long time, it may be corroded, damaged, worn, etc., resulting in an uneven surface. And since an elastic member 740 is provided at the connection between one end of each third mounting plate 730 and the first mounting plate 710, and the other end of each third mounting plate 730 (i.e., the end away from the elastic member 740) is provided with a walking mechanism 200, the walking mechanism 200 adopts a Mecanum wheel. When the Mecanum wheel driving device body 100 walks along the construction surface, if the construction surface is uneven, the Mecanum wheel can adapt to the unevenness of the construction surface under the action of the elastic member 740, and the Mecanum wheel can always be close to the construction surface, so as to improve the stability of the overall equipment during the construction operation.
[0053] As needed, the above-mentioned installation, setting, provision or connection methods include but are not limited to installation, setting or connection by screws, riveting, welding or socketing, fixing, etc., and the installation, setting or connection method is selected according to the needs of the working scenario.
[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
