Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of underwater operation equipment, and in particular to a multifunctional underwater pollution-cleaning robot and a pollution-cleaning method for a cooling water pool of a converter station. Background Art

[0002] UHV converter stations are vital infrastructure in the power system, and their normal operation plays an important role in ensuring the electricity demand of people's daily life and social production. However, since the cooling water pools of UHV converter stations are in service in the complex outdoor environment all year round, various types of dirt will gradually adhere to the bottom of the pools over time. If they are not adequately cleaned and maintained for a long time, a large amount of dirt and impurities will accumulate. These pollutants will not only reduce the cooling effect and increase the operating load of the equipment, but may also cause equipment failures and safety accidents, posing a serious threat to the stable operation of the power grid. Therefore, regular cleaning of the bottom of the substation pool is the key to ensuring the healthy and stable operation of the converter station. Since the type and distribution of dirt at the bottom of the pool are somewhat unpredictable, manual cleaning operations are not only labor-intensive, but also require personnel to dive into the water, which poses a great operational risk. In addition, existing cleaning robots, such as the underwater cleaning robot with application number 201810038013.6, can only perform simple cleaning operations at the bottom of the pool by sucking dirt through the suction port, and have relatively single functions, and cannot adapt to complex underwater environments and cleaning operations of different types of dirt. For example, when faced with non-degradable and impurities that cannot be sucked away at the bottom of the pool, existing underwater cleaning robots are difficult to effectively remove them, and have obvious limitations.

[0003] The quick-change connectors of existing robotic arms, such as the quick-change connectors disclosed in the nuclear facility decommissioning dual-arm robot and control system with application number 202210551422.2, are all equipped with electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic power signal connection modules. The mechanical connection is locked and unlocked by a pneumatically controlled locking device. On the one hand, the structure is complex and the cost is high. On the other hand, it is difficult to meet the requirements of underwater operations. Summary of the invention

[0046] Embodiment 1:

[0047] Figures 1 to 12 An embodiment of the multifunctional underwater garbage cleaning robot of the present invention is shown. The multifunctional underwater garbage cleaning robot of this embodiment includes a robot body 1 and multiple actuators 2. The robot body 1 is provided with a walking mechanism 3, an underwater mobile power mechanism 4, an underwater road condition detection mechanism 5, a crushing mechanism 6, a mechanical arm 7 and multiple hanging seats 8. At least one actuator 2 is used for cleaning the pool wall and sucking dirt, and one actuator 2 is used to grab impurities to the crushing mechanism 6. The end of the mechanical arm 7 is provided with a first quick-change connector 71, and each actuator 2 is provided with a second quick-change connector 9. The first quick-change connector 71 is used to suck the second quick-change connector 9, and the hanging seat 8 is used to hang the second quick-change connector 9 and to open the buckle of the second quick-change connector 9 and the first quick-change connector 71.

[0048] The multifunctional underwater cleaning robot has the advantages of firstly, that the mechanical arm 7 can selectively connect with the second quick-change joint 9 of any actuator 2 through the first quick-change joint 71 to meet the execution requirements of various functions, such as connecting with the second quick-change joint 9 of the actuator 2 (also called the cleaning and suction mechanism) for cleaning the pool wall and sucking dirt through the first quick-change joint 71 to clean the pool wall and suck dirt, and also connecting with the second quick-change joint 9 of the actuator 2 (also called the grabbing mechanism) for grabbing impurities through the first quick-change joint 71 to grab the impurities on the bottom of the pool and send them to the crushing mechanism 6. On the one hand, it has many functions, can adapt to complex underwater environments and meet the cleaning operation requirements of different types of dirt, such as being able to effectively remove non-degradable and impurities that cannot be sucked out of the pool bottom, with little limitation, and on the other ... and can effectively remove non-degradable and impurities that cannot be sucked out of the pool bottom, with little limitation, and on the other hand, it has many functions, can adapt to complex underwater environments and meet the cleaning operation requirements of various types of dirt, and on the other hand, it has many functions, can adapt to complex underwater environments and meet the cleaning operation requirements of various types of dirt, and on the other hand, it has many functions, can adapt to complex underwater environments and meet the cleaning operation requirements of various types of dirt, and on the other hand, it has many functions, can adapt to complex underwater environments and meet the cleaning operation requirements of various types of dirt, and on the other hand, it has many functions, can adapt to complex underwater environments and meet the cleaning operation requirements of various types of dirt, and on the other hand, it has many functions, can adapt to complex underwater On the one hand, one robotic arm 7 can meet the execution requirements of multiple actuators 2, simplifying the structure and reducing the cost; second, when the first quick-change joint 71 hangs the second quick-change joint 9 on the hanging seat 8, the hanging seat 8 can open the buckle connection between the second quick-change joint 9 and the first quick-change joint 71, so as to facilitate the separation of the first quick-change joint 71 and the second quick-change joint 9; the first quick-change joint 71 absorbs and lifts the second quick-change joint 9, so as to release the opening effect of the hanging seat 8, so that the first quick-change joint 71 and the second quick-change joint 9 are buckled. The structural design is ingenious, which is convenient for taking and placing each actuator 2, and there is no need to use an electric or pneumatic mechanism to lock and unlock the first quick-change joint 71 and the second quick-change joint 9. On the one hand, the structure is simpler and the cost is lower. On the other hand, it meets the requirements of underwater operations.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, at least one actuator 2 is used to cut impurities, and the actuator 2 can also be called a cutting mechanism. In this way, when encountering large impurities that are not degradable and cannot be sucked out, the mechanical arm 7 is connected to the second quick-change joint 9 of the cutting mechanism through the first quick-change joint 71, and the mechanical arm 7 drives the cutting mechanism to cut the large impurities that are not degradable and cannot be sucked out into small pieces. The mechanical arm 7 is put back into the cutting mechanism, and then connected to the second quick-change joint 9 of the grabbing mechanism through the first quick-change joint 71, and the impurities at the bottom of the pool are grabbed and sent to the crushing mechanism 6. In the face of large impurities, they are also cut into small pieces, and then grabbed and sent to the crushing mechanism 6. On the one hand, the grabbing requirements of the grabbing mechanism are met, so that the grabbing mechanism does not need to be made very large. On the other hand, the requirements of the crushing mechanism 6 are met to avoid impurities that are too large to be put in.

[0050] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, both sides of the robot body 1 are provided with mechanical arms 7, and the first side of the two sides of the robot body 1 is provided with at least two hanging seats 8, wherein at least one hanging seat 8 is used to hang the second quick-change joint 9 of the actuator 2 for cleaning the pool wall and sucking dirt, and one hanging seat 8 is used to hang the second quick-change joint 9 of the actuator 2 for cutting impurities, and the second side is provided with at least one hanging seat 8 for hanging the actuator 2 for grabbing impurities to the crushing mechanism 6, and the crushing mechanism 6 is arranged on the second side of the robot body 1. The mechanical arm 7 on each side of the robot body 1 is used to dock with any actuator 2 on the same side for operation. The cutting mechanism (used to hang the actuator 2 for cutting impurities) and the grasping mechanism (used to hang the actuator 2 for grasping impurities to the crushing mechanism 6) are distributed on both sides of the robot body 1. In this way, when the robot body 1 is moving forward, the mechanical arm 7 on one side is connected with the second quick-change joint 9 of the cutting mechanism through the first quick-change joint 71, and the cutting mechanism is operated to cut large impurities into small pieces along the forward direction. When the robot body 1 turns around and moves forward in the reverse direction, the mechanical arm 7 on the other side is connected with the second quick-change joint 9 of the grasping mechanism through the first quick-change joint 71, which can just grasp small impurities to the crushing mechanism 6 along the forward direction (the reverse path of the cutting mechanism), thereby improving collaboration and work efficiency.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both sides of the robot body 1 are provided with mounting plates 11, and the robot arm 7, the hanging seat 8 and the crushing mechanism 6 are respectively arranged on the mounting plates 11 on the corresponding sides. The mounting plates 11 have both a bearing function and a dirt blocking function.

[0052] Furthermore, if Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figures 9 to 12 As shown, in this embodiment, a buckle block 91 is hinged on the second quick-change connector 9, and an elastic reset member is provided between the buckle block 91 and the second quick-change connector 9. The bottom end of the buckle block 91 is provided with a push surface 911, and the top end is provided with a buckle-in portion 912 protruding inwardly. The hanging seat 8 is provided with a pushing portion 81 for pushing the push surface 911 to turn the top end of the buckle block 91 outward when the second quick-change connector 9 is hung on the hanging seat 8. The first quick-change connector 71 is provided with an electromagnetic adsorption component 711 and a buckle interface 712 for cooperating with the buckle-in portion 912.

[0053] During the process of hanging the actuator 2, the first quick-change joint 71 hangs the second quick-change joint 9 on the hanging seat 8, and the pushing portion 81 of the hanging seat 8 pushes the pushed surface 911 to make the top end of the buckle block 91 turn outward under the elastic force of the elastic reset member to open the buckle connection between the second quick-change joint 9 and the first quick-change joint 71, and then the suction effect of the first quick-change joint 71 and the second quick-change joint 9 is released to lift and separate the first quick-change joint 71 and the second quick-change joint 9 of the actuator 2; during the process of sucking the actuator 2, the first quick-change joint 71 absorbs and lifts the second quick-change joint 9, the pushing portion 81 is separated from the pushed surface 911, and the buckle block 91 turns inward at the top end under the elastic restoring force of the elastic reset member and buckles with the first quick-change joint 71 to prevent the first quick-change joint 71 and the second quick-change joint 9 from detaching. The structural design is ingenious. The first quick-change joint 71 and the second quick-change joint 9 can be released from the buckle by the gravity of the actuator 2, and the first quick-change joint 71 and the second quick-change joint 9 can be buckled by the suction and lifting effect, which makes it easy for the robot arm 7 to replace the actuator 2.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first quick-change connector 71 and the second quick-change connector 9 are respectively provided with a first alignment post 713 and a first alignment hole 92 that cooperate when the two are connected. Under the cooperation and positioning effect of the first alignment post 713 and the first alignment hole 92, the accuracy of the connection between the first quick-change connector 71 and the second quick-change connector 9 is improved. Preferably, as Figure 8 As shown, the first alignment post 713 is disposed on the first quick-change connector 71. Figure 5 As shown, the first alignment hole 92 is provided on the second quick-change connector 9 .

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the hanging seat 8 and the second quick-change joint 9 are respectively provided with a second alignment post 82 and a second alignment hole 93 that cooperate when the second quick-change joint 9 is hung on the hanging seat 8. Under the cooperation and positioning effect of the second alignment post 82 and the second alignment hole 93, the accuracy of hanging the second quick-change joint 9 is improved. Preferably, as Figure 7 As shown, the second alignment post 82 is arranged on the hanging seat 8. Fig. 9 As shown, the second alignment hole 93 is provided on the second quick-change connector 9 .

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a hanging hole 83 is provided on the hanging seat 8, and an inlet and outlet 84 is provided on one side of the hanging hole 83. The inlet and outlet 84 is used for the second quick-change connector 9 to enter and exit horizontally, and the hanging hole 83 is used for the second quick-change connector 9 to be lifted and taken out. When the actuator 2 is hung, the second quick-change connector 9 first passes through the inlet and outlet 84 and enters the hanging hole 83 horizontally, and then is lowered and placed on the hanging seat 8; conversely, when the actuator 2 is taken out, the second quick-change connector 9 is first raised to the unfastened position, and then the second quick-change connector 9 is horizontally moved out through the hanging hole 83.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the walking mechanism 3 is a crawler mechanism with high walking stability.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, at least one actuator 2 is used to scrape off impurities.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, at least one actuator 2 is used to suck impurities.
