Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

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

[0002] Extra-high voltage converter stations are critical infrastructure in power systems, and their normal operation is important for ensuring the power needs of people's daily life and social production. However, since the cooling water pool of the extra-high voltage converter station has been serving in the complex outdoor environment for a long time, various types of dirt will gradually accumulate on the bottom of the pool. If it is not cleaned and maintained thoroughly for a long time, a large amount of dirt and impurities will accumulate, which not only reduces the cooling effect and increases the operating load of the equipment, but also may cause equipment failure and safety accidents, posing a serious threat to the stable operation of the power grid. Therefore, regular cleaning of the bottom of the water pool in the substation is the key to ensuring the healthy and stable operation of the converter station. Since the type and distribution of dirt on the bottom of the pool are unpredictable, manual cleaning is not only labor-intensive, but also requires personnel to dive into the water, which poses a great risk. In addition, the existing cleaning robots, such as the water bottom cleaning robot with application number 201810038013.6, can only achieve simple cleaning of the bottom of the pool by sucking dirt through the dirt suction port, and the function is relatively single, which cannot adapt to complex underwater environments and different types of dirt cleaning operations. For example, when facing non-degradable and non-removable impurities on the bottom of the pool, the existing water bottom cleaning robot cannot effectively remove them, which has obvious limitations.

[0003] The quick connector of the existing mechanical arm, such as the quick connector disclosed in the application number 202210551422.2 nuclear facility decommissioning dual-arm robot and control system, has an electric, gas, and liquid power signal connection module.

[0046] Embodiment one:

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

[0048] The multifunctional underwater cleaning robot, first, the mechanical arm 7 can be selectively connected with the second quick-change joint 9 of any execution mechanism 2 through the first quick-change joint 71, meeting the execution requirements of various functions, such as connecting the first quick-change joint 71 with the second quick-change joint 9 of the execution mechanism 2 (which can also be called a cleaning and suction mechanism) for cleaning the pool wall and sucking dirt, cleaning and sucking the pool wall, and connecting the first quick-change joint 71 with the second quick-change joint 9 of the execution mechanism 2 (which can also be called a grabbing mechanism) for grabbing impurities, and grabbing the impurities on the pool bottom to the crushing mechanism 6. On the one hand, the multifunctional underwater cleaning robot can adapt to complex underwater environments and meet the cleaning requirements of different types of dirt, such as effectively removing non-degradable and non-suckable impurities on the pool bottom, and has less limitations. On the other hand, one mechanical arm 7 can meet the execution requirements of multiple execution mechanisms 2, simplify the structure, and reduce the cost; second, when the first quick-change joint 71 is hung on the hanging seat 8, the hanging seat 8 can support the second quick-change joint 9 and the first quick-change joint 71, facilitating the separation of the first quick-change joint 71 and the second quick-change joint 9; the first quick-change joint 71 adsorbs and lifts the second quick-change joint 9, which can release the supporting effect of the hanging seat 8, so that the first quick-change joint 71 and the second quick-change joint 9 are buckled. The structure design is ingenious, convenient for taking and placing each execution mechanism 2, and does not 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.

The mechanical arm 7 on each side of the robot body 1 is used to dock any execution mechanism 2 on the same side to work. The cutting mechanism (for the execution mechanism 2 for cutting impurities) and the grabbing mechanism (for the execution mechanism 2 for hanging the impurities to the crushing mechanism 6) are distributed on both sides of the robot body 1, so that when the robot body 1 moves forward, the mechanical arm 7 on one side is docked 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 in the forward direction, and when the robot body 1 turns around and moves backward, the mechanical arm 7 on the other side is docked with the second quick-change joint 9 of the grabbing mechanism through the first quick-change joint 71, which can just grab small impurities to the crushing mechanism 6 in the forward direction (the reverse path of the cutting mechanism), thereby improving the cooperation and work efficiency.
