Any number of elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustration and not for limitation, and any naming is only for distinction and does not have any limiting meaning. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a water surface automatic driving cleaning robot based on visual recognition includes a hull, the hull includes a skeleton 2 and two floats 1 arranged on opposite sides of the skeleton 2, and the skeleton 2 floats on the water surface by relying on the two floats 1. A garbage cleaning mechanism 3 is arranged in the skeleton 2, and the garbage cleaning mechanism 3 has two states: a garbage cleaning state and a self-cleaning state. The garbage cleaning state refers to the state in which garbage is collected into the garbage cleaning mechanism 3 during the process of the ship traveling on the water surface. The self-cleaning state refers to the state in which the garbage cleaning mechanism 3 is full of garbage and the garbage cleaning mechanism 3 cleans and discharges the garbage.

[0029] In this embodiment, Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the garbage cleaning mechanism 3 includes a garbage bin 14, which has a garbage inlet 15 and a garbage outlet 16, and also has an upper opening, that is, the garbage bin 14 only has a bin bottom and two outer side walls arranged opposite to each other in the left and right directions of the bin bottom. The garbage inlet 15 of the garbage bin 14 is located at the front end of the boat, and the garbage outlet 16 of the garbage bin 14 is located at the rear end of the boat.

[0030] A garbage pushing assembly is provided at the garbage inlet 15 of the garbage bin 14. The garbage pushing assembly includes a moving seat 17 slidably mounted on the garbage bin 14. The moving seat 17 is used to move in the direction between the garbage inlet 15 and the garbage outlet 16.

The garbage pushing plate 20 has filter holes, that is, river water can pass through the garbage pushing plate 20. A first driving unit for driving the garbage pushing plate 20 to rotate is provided on the moving seat 17. The garbage pushing assembly also includes a second driving unit installed on the garbage bin 14. The second driving unit drives the moving seat 17 to move, thereby driving the garbage pushing plate 20 to move.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first driving unit includes a first mounting seat 18 fixedly assembled on the movable seat 17 and a first linear driving member 19 arranged on the first mounting seat 18. The first linear driving member 19 is hinged to the garbage push plate 20 to drive it to rotate, that is, the fixed end of the first linear driving member 19 is hinged to the first mounting seat 18, and the telescopic end of the first linear driving member 19 is hinged to the garbage push plate 20.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first linear drive member 19 is an electric push rod.

[0033] In other embodiments, the first linear drive member 19 is a cylinder, or a screw nut pair, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0034] When collecting garbage on the water surface, the first linear drive component 19 will drive the garbage push plate 20 to open the garbage inlet 15 of the garbage bin 14 so that the garbage can enter the garbage bin 14. When the garbage needs to be discharged, the first linear drive component 19 will drive the garbage push plate 20 to close the garbage inlet 15 of the garbage bin 14.

[0035] In this embodiment, the second driving unit includes a second motor 21 and two slide rails 22 provided on the garbage bin 14. Each slide rail 22 extends in the direction between the garbage inlet 15 and the garbage outlet 16. The two slide rails 22 are arranged on opposite sides of the garbage bin 14. The moving seat 17 is slidably arranged on the two slide rails 22. The second motor 21 is transmission-connected to the moving seat 17 to drive it to move in the direction in which the slide rails 22 extend.

[0036] In this embodiment, the second motor 21 is connected to the moving base 17 via a belt transmission.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second motor 21 is a stepping motor.

[0038] When the garbage needs to be discharged, the second motor 21 drives the moving seat 17 to move, thereby driving the garbage pushing plate 20 to push the garbage in the garbage box 14 to be discharged.

[0039] A rear door assembly is provided at the garbage outlet 16 of the garbage bin 14. The rear door assembly includes a third driving unit mounted on the garbage bin 14 and a rear filter door 25 mounted on the garbage bin 14 and rotatable around an axis extending in the left-right direction. The third driving unit drives the rear filter door 25 to rotate.

[0040] In this embodiment, the third driving unit includes a second mounting seat 23 fixedly mounted on the trash bin 14 and a second linear driving member 24 disposed on the second mounting seat 23. The second linear driving member 24 is hinged to the rear filter door 25 to drive the rear filter door 25 to rotate. The second mounting seat 23 has the function of fixing the two outer side walls, which can increase the strength of the trash bin 14.

[0041] In this embodiment, the second linear drive member 24 is an electric push rod.

[0042] In other embodiments, the second linear drive member 24 is a cylinder, or a screw nut pair, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0043] In this embodiment, the installation position of the first linear drive member 19 is staggered with the installation position of the second linear drive member 24 to prevent the first linear drive member 19 and the second linear drive member 24 from colliding when the second motor 21 drives the moving base 17 to move.

[0044] When collecting garbage on the water surface, the second linear drive component 24 will drive the rear filter door 25 to close the garbage outlet 16 of the garbage bin 14, so that the garbage can stay in the garbage bin 14. When the garbage needs to be discharged, the second linear drive component 24 will drive the rear filter door 25 to open the garbage outlet 16 of the garbage bin 14, so that the garbage can be discharged from the garbage outlet 16.

[0045] In this embodiment, in the garbage cleaning state, the garbage push plate 20 is opened and the rear filter door 25 is closed, so that the garbage can enter the garbage bin 14 from the garbage inlet 15. In the self-cleaning state, the garbage push plate 20 is closed, the rear filter door 25 is opened, and the second driving unit drives the moving seat 17 to move, so that the garbage push plate 20 can push the garbage out of the garbage bin 14.

[0046] When the garbage is collected, the ship docks, the garbage outlet 16 will dock with the garbage station on the shore, the rear filter door 25 will open, and the second drive unit will drive the garbage push plate 20 to move, so that the garbage is discharged from the garbage bin 14 to the garbage station, thus avoiding manual cleaning of the garbage in the garbage bin 14, improving work efficiency, and enabling the ship to increase the number of times the surface garbage is cleaned per unit time, thereby improving the efficiency of surface garbage cleaning.

[0047] In this embodiment, Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a rotating mechanism 13 is also provided in the frame 2, and the rotating mechanism 13 is used to drive the garbage bin 14 to rotate in the frame 2. The rotating mechanism 13 includes a mounting frame 26 fixedly mounted on the frame 2, and a first motor 27 and two sets of swing arms 31 arranged at intervals are provided on the mounting frame 26 and are transmission-connected to the first motor 27. The two sets of swing arms 31 are arranged at intervals on opposite sides of the mounting frame 26, and the two sets of swing arms 31 are ball-jointed on opposite outer side walls of the garbage bin 14, so that when the first motor 27 is running, the garbage bin 14 is driven to move through the two sets of swing arms 31. One set of swing arms 31 is located on the same side, and each set of swing arms 31 includes a main arm 30 and a secondary arm 29, and the main arm 30 is slightly longer than the secondary arm 29, so that when the garbage in the garbage bin 14 is discharged and the garbage bin 14 is rotated into place, the bottom of the garbage bin 14 is slightly tilted, which is conducive to discharging the river water in the garbage bin 14.

[0048] The floating body 1 on the same side as the first motor 27 has an escape gap 10 , and the escape gap 10 is used to escape the first motor 27 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the first motor 27 is a stepping motor.

[0050] The first motor 27 drives the garbage bin 14 to move through two sets of swing arms 31, so that the garbage bin 14 can dock with the garbage station on the shore. At the same time, when the garbage bin 14 moves, the garbage bin 14 is slightly tilted, so that the excess river water in the garbage bin 14 can be discharged to prevent the river water from being transported into the garbage station.

[0051] In this embodiment, a reducer 28 is provided on the mounting frame 26, and the reducer 28 is respectively connected to the first motor 27 and the swing arm 31, so that the first motor 27 drives the trash bin 14 to move through the reducer 28. The torque is increased by the reducer 28, and when the trash bin 14 is full of trash, the first motor 27 can more easily drive the trash bin 14 to move.

[0052] Two stoppers 40 are provided on the mounting frame 26. Both stoppers 40 are installed on the swing path of the swing arm 31 to limit the swing angle. When one of the stoppers 40 makes the swing arm 31 swing to the right position, the garbage bin 14 can just dock with the garbage station on the shore. When the other stopper 40 makes the swing arm 31 swing to the right position, the garbage bin 14 is just located inside the frame 2.

[0053] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the front end of the frame 2 is equipped with two mechanical interception arms 5, one end of the two mechanical interception arms 5 extends out of the frame 2 and extends in a direction away from each other to form a trumpet-shaped structure. The two mechanical interception arms 5 are in a trumpet-shaped structure, so that when the ship travels in a narrow river channel, the two mechanical interception arms 5 first contact the rocks on the shore, which can avoid the collision between the ship and the rocks on the shore and ensure the safety of the ship.

[0054] like Figure 8-Figure 11 As shown, each mechanical intercepting arm 5 comprises a main robotic arm 7, a main cantilever mechanism 6 for driving the main robotic arm 7 to rotate horizontally, a secondary robotic arm 9 and a secondary cantilever mechanism 8 for driving the secondary robotic arm 9 to rotate horizontally. The main cantilever mechanism 6 is arranged on the skeleton 2, and the first end of the main robotic arm 7 is transmission-connected to the main cantilever mechanism 6 so that the main cantilever mechanism 6 drives the main robotic arm 7 to rotate horizontally. The second end of the main robotic arm 7 is hinged to the secondary robotic arm 9, and the secondary cantilever mechanism 8 is arranged on the main robotic arm 7.

[0055] The main mechanical arm 7 and the auxiliary mechanical arm 9 are both provided with a trailing wheel 12. The trailing wheel 12 will first contact the rocks on the shore, so that the ship can pass smoothly.

[0056] In this embodiment, each mechanical intercepting arm 5 includes a bracket 11 fixedly mounted on the frame 2, and the main cantilever mechanism 6 is mounted on the bracket 11. The main cantilever mechanism 6 includes a first mounting member 33 fixed on the bracket 11, a third motor 34 provided on the first mounting member 33, and a main rotating shaft 35 connected to the third motor 34 in a transmission manner. The axis of the main rotating shaft 35 extends in a vertical direction, and the main rotating shaft 35 is connected to the main mechanical arm 7 in a transmission manner, so that the main mechanical arm 7 can be driven to rotate in a horizontal direction.

[0057] In this embodiment, the third motor 34 is a stepping motor.

[0058] The auxiliary cantilever mechanism 8 includes a second mounting member 36 fixed on the main robotic arm 7 and a third linear drive member 37 arranged on the second mounting member 36. The second end of the main robotic arm 7 is hinged to the auxiliary robotic arm 9 through a hinge shaft 32. The axis of the hinge shaft 32 extends in the vertical direction. The auxiliary robotic arm 9 is fixed on the hinge shaft 32. The telescopic end of the third linear drive member 37 is connected with a rack 38. One end of the hinge shaft 32 is coaxially provided with a gear 39 meshing with the rack 38. The third linear drive member 37 is transmitted through the gear 39 and the rack 38 to make the auxiliary robotic arm 9 rotate horizontally.

[0059] When the third linear drive member 37 drives the auxiliary robotic arm 9 to rotate in a direction toward the outside, that is, the third linear drive members 37 on the two mechanical intercepting arms 5 drive the auxiliary robotic arms 9 to rotate in a direction away from each other.

[0060] In this embodiment, the third linear drive member 37 is an electric push rod.

[0061] In other embodiments, the third linear drive member 37 is a cylinder, or a screw nut pair, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0062] A propeller for driving the movement of the ship is provided at the rear end of the skeleton 2, and a control unit 4 is provided on the skeleton 2. The control unit 4 is electrically connected to the propeller, the first motor 27, the second motor 21, the third motor 34, the first linear drive 19, the second linear drive 24 and the third linear drive 37 to control the operation of these components.

[0063] How the ship works: 1. Scan new waters to create accurate water maps and automatically plan cleaning routes (you can set the cleaning time and frequency yourself).

[0064] 2. After the initial settings are completed, the ship will automatically perform the cleaning task according to the settings; 3. After the cleaning task is completed, or when there is a lot of garbage in the water area that needs to be cleaned multiple times, the ship will automatically return to the dock to self-clean the garbage bin 14 in the ship. After the self-cleaning is completed, the ship will continue to perform the cleaning task until the task is completed and return to the dock to enter standby status.

[0065] The boat uses advanced visual recognition technology to accurately identify and locate garbage on the water surface and in the garbage bin 14, thereby achieving efficient automatic cleaning. Compared with traditional manual cleaning methods, the boat greatly saves labor costs and time costs.

[0066] The ship is equipped with a multi-sensor fusion perception system such as laser radar, millimeter-wave radar, and camera, which can enable it to navigate autonomously and intelligently avoid obstacles to ensure safe operation. This intelligent operation not only improves the cleaning efficiency, but also enhances the accuracy and reliability of the operation.

[0067] The ship is electrically driven, which reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions and is environmentally friendly. This is of great significance for promoting green development and sustainable development.

[0068] The boat is suitable for various water environments, including lakes, rivers, ports and oceans, and can clean the water surface according to different water types and needs. In addition, for the cleaning of the garbage bin 14, the boat can also automatically process according to the preset program, realizing a fully intelligent and data-based water environmental protection operation and maintenance operation and management closed loop.
