[0037] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0038] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.
[0039] A net cleaning robot for marine aquaculture cages, such as Figures 1 to 10As shown in the figure, it includes two sets of driving mechanisms 1. Each set of driving mechanisms 1 respectively includes a set of outer casings 101. On one side of the outer wall of the outer casing 101 close to the advancing direction, there is a robotic arm 5. The robotic arm 5 includes a mounting base 501. The mounting base 501 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer casing 101. The top end of the mounting base 501 is rotatably connected to a rear arm 502. The end of the rear arm 502 is rotatably connected to a front arm 503. The end of the front arm 503 is rotatably connected to a robotic claw 504. The side wall of the mounting base 501 is fixedly connected to a main driving motor 505. The front arm 504 is fixedly connected to an auxiliary driving motor set 506 at the connection with the rear arm 503.
[0040] There are two sets of pulling mechanisms 2 arranged between the two sets of outer casings 101. Two sets of driving wheels 106 are respectively rotatably connected to both sides of the outer casing 101. A crawler 107 is engaged with the outer walls of the two driving wheels 106 on the same side. A plurality of sliders 109 are slidably connected to the side wall of the outer casing 101. A set of support wheels 110 are respectively rotatably connected to the side walls of each set of sliders 109. The plurality of support wheels 110 abut against the inner wall of the crawler 107. A set of support springs 111 are respectively fixedly connected to the top ends of each set of sliders 109. The top ends of the support springs 111 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer casing 101. A first motor 102 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 101. A gear set 103 is arranged on the inner wall of the outer casing 101. The output end of the first motor 102 is fixedly connected to the input end of the gear set 103. Another output end of the gear set 103 is fixedly sleeved with a rotating shaft 104. A set of reciprocating lead screws 105 are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 104. The ends of the two reciprocating lead screws 105 are respectively fixedly connected to the side wall of a driving wheel 106. A synchronous belt 108 is arranged at the connection between the reciprocating lead screw 105 and the driving wheel 106. The end of the synchronous belt 108 is connected to the other driving wheel 106.
[0041] Each set of pulling mechanisms 2 respectively includes two guide rods 201. The two guide rods 201 are respectively slidably sleeved on the inner wall of an outer casing 101. A set of pressure springs 203 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide rod 201. The ends of the pressure springs 203 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 101. A set of side plates 202 are respectively fixedly connected to the ends of the two guide rods 201 close to each other. A plurality of hooks 204 are respectively rotatably connected to the side walls of each set of side plates 202. A torsion spring is arranged at the connection between the hook 204 and the side plate 202. The plurality of hooks 204 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the side plate 202. The hooks 204 on the two side plates 202 are arranged staggeredly. A plurality of limiting grooves 205 are formed on the side wall of the side plate 202. The limiting grooves 205 and the hooks 204 are arranged on the same side. The positions of the limiting grooves 205 correspond to the hooks 204 on the other set of side plates 202. A plurality of first scrapers 206 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the side plate 202.
[0042] Place two sets of driving mechanisms 1 on both sides of the fishing net respectively. There are two sets of pulling mechanisms 2 on both sides of the fishing net. During the process of the two sets of driving mechanisms 1 approaching each other, the pulling mechanisms 2 on both sides of the fishing net approach each other, so that the hooks 204 on the side plates 202 on one side of the fishing net penetrate through the fishing net and extend into the limiting grooves 205 on the side plates 202 on the other side of the fishing net, enabling the side plates 202 on both sides of the fishing net to be pulled together by the hooks 204. At this time, the first scraping plate 206 on the side plate 202 is attached to the outer wall of the fishing net. At this time, the distance between the side plates 202 on both sides of the fishing net cannot be increased. And the outer shell 101 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod 201, and a compression spring 203 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide rod 201. The elastic force of the compression spring 203 makes the outer shell 101 fit tightly with the side plate 202. Inside the driving mechanism 1, the first motor 102 drives the gear set 103, so that the gear set 103 drives the rotating shaft 104 to rotate. The rotating shaft 104 drives two sets of reciprocating lead screws 105 to rotate. The two sets of reciprocating lead screws 105 respectively drive a set of driving wheels 106 to rotate. And during the process of the reciprocating lead screw 105 driving the driving wheel 106 to rotate, it drives the synchronous belt 108 to rotate, so that the synchronous belt 108 drives the other set of driving wheels 106 to rotate. During the rotation of the driving wheel 106, the protrusions outside the driving wheel 106 push the crawler 107, so that the crawler 107 rotates. And the outer shell 101 compresses the support spring 111 under the action of the pulling mechanism 2, so that the resilience of the support spring 111 is transmitted to the slider 109, so that the slider 109 transmits the pressure to the support wheel 110, so that the support wheel 110 presses the crawler 107 against the side wall of the fishing net, so that during the rotation of the crawler 107, it drives the two sets of driving mechanisms 1 to move downward while attaching to the outer wall of the fishing net. During the process of the entire robot moving downward on the outer wall of the fishing net, an underwater camera is built into the robotic claw 504, which can take real-time pictures of the situation on the fishing net, so as to accurately judge whether there are foreign objects attached to the fishing net. This is prior art, so it will not be elaborated too much in this solution. Then, the forearm 503 and the rear arm 502 rotate under the drive of the main drive motor 505 and the auxiliary drive motor 506, so as to drive the robotic claw 504 to move to the surface of the fishing net, and then use the robotic claw 504 to accurately remove the attachments on the fishing net. When the hook 204 touches the steel wire on the fishing net, the hook 204 is blocked by the steel wire and thus turns over, and the hook 204 twists the torsion spring. Then, after the hook 204 slides over the steel wire, the torsion spring rebounds and pushes the hook 204 to reset, so that the hook 204 hooks into the limiting groove 205 on the side plate 202 on the other side again. And because the fishing net is in a mesh shape, during the downward movement of the robot, there are always multiple sets of hooks 204 hooked in the limiting grooves 205, so the phenomenon that all the hooks 204 are pushed by the fishing net will not occur, thus ensuring that during the movement of the fishing net cleaning robot, the two sets of driving mechanisms 1 will not separate. During the movement of the fishing net cleaning robot,The first squeegee 206 scrapes the outer wall of the netting, thereby cleaning the netting to a certain extent.
[0043] Please refer particularly to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 Inside the inner wall of the housing 101, a negative pressure mechanism 3 is provided. The negative pressure mechanism 3 includes a water inlet cover 301. The water inlet cover 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the housing 101. At the connection of the housing 101 and the water inlet cover 301, a water inlet 112 is provided. A flow guide pipe 303 is communicated with the side wall of the water inlet cover 301. The top end of the flow guide pipe 303 extends to the outside of the housing 101. A fan blade 302 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the water inlet cover 301. The end of the fan blade 302 is fixedly connected to the other output end of the gear set 103. One end of the flow guide pipe 303 located outside the housing 101 is communicated with a spray head 305. A rotating arm 304 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the spray head 305. The end of the rotating arm 304 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the housing 101. A guide groove 306 is provided at the bottom end of the rotating arm 304. A pushing block 307 is slidably sleeved on the inner wall of the guide groove 306. The bottom end of the pushing block 307 is fixedly connected to a cross beam 308.
[0044] After the power of the first motor 102 is transmitted to the gear set 103, the gear set 103 drives the fan blade 302 to rotate, so that the water between the two housings 101 is pumped into the inside of the water inlet cover 301 through the water inlet 112. Then, this water enters the inside of the spray head 305 through the flow guide pipe 303, so that this water is sprayed from the spray head 305 onto the netting. And the cross beam 308 reciprocates under the drive of the moving arm 407, so that the cross beam 308 drives the pushing block 307 to reciprocate. The reciprocating movement of the moving block pushes the guide groove 306 during the reciprocating movement, so that the rotating arm 304 reciprocally flips. During the reciprocal flipping process of the rotating arm 304, the rotating arm 304 drives the spray head 305 to reciprocally flip, so that the water sprayed from the spray head 305 can be more fully sprayed onto the netting.
[0045] Please refer particularly to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 10, cleaning mechanisms 4 are provided at both ends of the shell 101, the cleaning mechanisms 4 include a front cleaning assembly 41, the front cleaning assembly 41 includes a reciprocating disk 401, the reciprocating disk 401 is rotatably connected to one end of the inner wall of the shell 101 close to the forward direction, the edge of the reciprocating disk 401 is provided with multiple sets of saw teeth, the side wall of the reciprocating disk 401 is provided with a slide groove 402, the inner wall of the shell 101 is fixedly connected to a second motor 403, the output end of the second motor 403 is fixedly connected to a deflection block 404, the deflection block 404 is slidably fitted on the inner wall of the slide groove 402, the outer wall of the reciprocating disk 401 is respectively provided with a group of mounting grooves 405 at both ends, the side wall of the shell 101 is fixedly connected to two groups of positioning columns 406, the positioning columns 406 are slidably fitted On the inner wall of the mounting groove 405, the cleaning mechanism 4 also includes a rear cleaning assembly 42, which includes two groups of movable arms 407, each group of movable arms 407 is respectively threadedly connected to the outer wall of a group of reciprocating screw rods 105, and the movable arms 407 are fixedly connected to a sliding rod 411 at the connection with the reciprocating screw rods 105, and the end of the sliding rod 411 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 101, and the end of the movable arm 407 extends to the outside of the outer shell 101, and the ends of the two groups of movable arms 407 are fixedly connected to a reciprocating bar 408, and the top sliding sleeve of the reciprocating bar 408 is provided with a base 410, and the base 410 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer shell 101, and the bottom end of the reciprocating bar 408 is fixedly connected to multiple groups of second scrapers 409.
[0046] During the downward movement of the two sets of shells 101, the second motor 403 drives the deflection block 404 to rotate, so that the deflection block 404 slides on the inner wall of the slide groove 402, thereby pushing the reciprocating plate 401 to swing back and forth, and with the movement of the shell 101, the reciprocating plate 401 contacts the attachments on the outside of the net, and these attachments are separated from the net under the reciprocating friction and cutting action of the saw teeth on the edge of the reciprocating plate 401, thereby achieving preliminary cleaning of the attachments on the outside of the net, and then the net is cleaned by the first scraper 206 and contacts the second scraper 206. The second scraper 409 drives the movable arm 407 to move back and forth during the rotation of the reciprocating screw rod 105, so that the movable arm 407 drives the cross beam 308 to move back and forth during the reciprocating movement. At the same time, the movable arm 407 drives the reciprocating bar 408 to slide back and forth inside the base 410, so that the reciprocating bar 408 drives the second scraper 409 to slide back and forth, so that the second scraper 409 moves back and forth laterally during the process of the side wall of the net sliding downward, thereby cleaning the outer wall of the net for the third time, and the water sprayed by the nozzle 305 cleans the net for the final time.
[0047] In use, by separately arranging individual power sources inside the two sets of driving mechanisms 1, the two sets of driving mechanisms 1 move synchronously underwater. Moreover, the hooks 204 on the two-side pulling mechanisms 2 pull the side plates 202 on the other side, enabling the pulling mechanisms 2 on the two sets of driving mechanisms 1 to pull each other, so that the distance between the two pulling mechanisms 2 will not increase. Additionally, the supporting wheels 110 push the crawler belts 107 to closely fit the fishing net under the elastic force of the supporting springs 111. Thus, during the process of cleaning the fishing net, the fishing net cleaning robot can closely fit the fishing net, ensuring the cleaning effect and preventing the robot from detaching from the fishing net.
