[0002] During the long-term ocean navigation of ships, some shellfish, algae organisms and rust spots will adhere to the hull surface of the underwater part. This will affect the navigation speed and service life of the ships, increase the fuel consumption of the ships, and these marine organisms will also cover the transmission shafts and propellers of the ships, directly reducing the ship power. Therefore, according to the different navigation waters and the docking duration of the shipping routes, ocean ships need to be cleaned regularly.

[0003] The ship underwater cleaning robot is an intelligent device specifically used for automatically or semi-automatically cleaning the underwater part of the hull. It usually operates in a remote control or autonomous mode, replacing the traditional divers for manual cleaning, improving efficiency and reducing safety risks. Currently, the existing ship underwater cleaning robots need to use a brush disk in cooperation with a high-pressure nozzle to clean the attachments on the hull. When the thickness of the attachments on the ship is relatively large, it is difficult for the brush disk to directly remove the attachments. It is necessary to gradually remove the attachments from the outside to the hull surface first, otherwise the situation of incomplete removal will occur. However, the traditional brush disk is difficult to adjust correspondingly according to the thickness of the attachments, and the cleaning efficiency of the attachments is relatively low.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1 - 8 , a robot device for underwater cleaning and repair of ships in the figure, includes a mounting plate 1 and a brush plate 2 arranged at the bottom of the mounting plate 1. A plurality of cleaning brushes 3 symmetrically distributed around the center are fixedly installed at the bottom of the brush plate 2. When the brush plate 2 rotates, the cleaning brushes 3 can clean the attachments on the hull. A protective shell 4 is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting plate 1, and a driving motor 5 is fixedly installed inside the protective shell 4. Two symmetrically distributed docking support plates 27 are fixedly installed at the top of the mounting plate 1, so that the mounting plate 1 is docked with the mobile vehicle body through the two docking support plates 27, improving the convenience of installing the mounting plate 1. A metal blade 32 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the spiral scraper 7, and the metal blade 32 is in an inclined structure, facilitating the spiral scraper 7 to scrape off marine organisms on the hull surface. Bolt seats 28 are fixedly installed at both ends of the cleaning brush 3, and the bolt seats 28 are docked with the bottom of the brush plate 2 through bolts, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the cleaning brush 3; It further includes: an angle adjustment mechanism for enabling the brush plate 2 to perform corresponding angle adjustment according to the thickness of the attachments, and the angle adjustment mechanism is installed on the top of the brush plate 2.

[0022] The angle adjustment mechanism includes four positioning support arms 6 symmetrically arranged at the top of the brush disc 2. The four positioning support arms 6 can provide swing support for the brush disc 2. The angle adjustment mechanism further includes a mounting socket 9 fixedly installed between the four positioning support arms 6. A positioning shaft 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting socket 9. An annular groove for the rotational installation of the positioning shaft 10 is formed at the top of the brush disc 2. The positioning support arm 6 is in an L-shaped structure, and a sliding ball 11 is rotatably installed at the end of the positioning support arm 6 away from the mounting socket 9, so that the positioning support arm 6 can contact the hull through the sliding ball 11. The height of the sliding ball 11 is higher than that of the cleaning brush 3. When the sliding ball 11 contacts the attachment, the cleaning brush 3 also contacts the attachment. The positioning support arm 6 can provide positioning for the brush disc 2 through the positioning shaft 10 on the mounting socket 9. A first telescopic rod 12 is fixedly installed at the top of the positioning support arm 6. Four second telescopic rods 13 symmetrically distributed at the center are fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting disc 1. The first telescopic rods 12 are all docked with the second telescopic rods 13 through universal balls 14. Both the first telescopic rods 12 and the second telescopic rods 13 are elastic telescopic rods. The output end of the driving motor 5 is fixedly installed with a universal joint 15. The end of the universal joint 15 away from the driving motor 5 is installed at the top of the brush disc 2, so that the driving motor 5 can drive the brush disc 2 to rotate through the universal joint 15. When the positioning support arm 6 contacts the attachment, the four positioning support arms 6 can move along the surface of the attachment and tilt correspondingly, causing the brush disc 2 to drive the universal joint 15 to bend. The four positioning support arms 6 respectively drive the corresponding first telescopic rods 12 to swing with the universal ball 14 as the fulcrum, so that the brush disc 2 as a whole presents an inclined state corresponding to the attachment, facilitating the cleaning of the attachment by the brush disc 2 through the cleaning brush 3 and realizing the adaptive angle adjustment of the brush disc 2.

[0023] Embodiment 2: Please refer to Figures 2 - 5, This embodiment further elaborates on the first embodiment. The scraping mechanism in the figure includes a plurality of spiral scrapers 7 symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the brush disc 2.

The end of the universal joint 15 away from the drive motor 5 is slidably installed inside the sleeve 16. A rhombic rod 17 is fixedly installed at the end of the universal joint 15 close to the sleeve 16. A rhombic slider 18 is fixedly installed at the end of the rhombic rod 17 away from the universal joint 15. A sliding cavity for the rhombic rod 17 and the rhombic slider 18 to slide and be limited is provided inside the brush disc 2. When the universal joint 15 rotates, the brush disc 2 can be driven to rotate through the rhombic rod 17 and the rhombic slider 18. A plug rod 19 is fixedly installed on the side of the rhombic slider 18 away from the universal joint 15. The plug rod 19 slidably penetrates the brush disc 2. A first spring 20 is arranged on the outer side of the plug rod 19. The first spring 20 is fixedly installed between the rhombic slider 18 and the inner side of the sliding cavity of the brush disc 2. When the four sliding balls 11 contact an attached object with a relatively large thickness and relatively flat surface, the brush disc 2 can move upward along the outer side of the rhombic slider 18, causing the rhombic slider 18 to compress the first spring 20 and push the plug rod 19 to move. One end of the plug rod 19 away from the rhombic slider 18 is fixedly connected to the three spiral scrapers 7, enabling the plug rod 19 to drive the spiral scrapers 7 to move synchronously and bring the spiral scrapers 7 closer to the attached object, so that the spiral scrapers 7 can scrape the thicker attached object.

[0024] Embodiment Three: Please refer to Figures 6 - 8, this embodiment further illustrates other embodiments. The cleaning mechanism shown in the figure includes a plurality of U-shaped push bars 8 arranged at equal intervals outside the cleaning brush 3. The U-shaped push bars 8 can scrape out the impurities accumulated on the cleaning brush 3 downward. The cleaning mechanism further includes a plurality of sliding boxes 34 arranged centrosymmetrically inside the brush tray 2. An installation cavity for the sliding box 34 to be limited and slide is opened inside the brush tray 2. The number of sliding boxes 34 is the same as the number of cleaning brushes 3, and the sliding boxes 34 are located directly above the cleaning brushes 3. Two symmetrically distributed installation support plates 21 are provided at the bottom of the sliding box 34. The installation support plates 21 slide and extend to the bottom of the brush tray 2. The U-shaped push bar 8 is fixedly installed between the two installation support plates 21. When the installation support plates 21 move, it can drive the U-shaped push bar 8 to move downward along the brush gaps of the cleaning brush 3, and push out the residual impurities in the cleaning brush 3 downward. Two symmetrically distributed sleeves 22 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding box 34. A groove for the sleeves 22 to be limited and slide is opened at the top of the installation support plate 21, and a guide rod 23 is fixedly installed inside the groove. The sleeves 22 are slidably installed outside the guide rod 23, so that the sliding box 34 can drive the installation support plate 21 to move through the sleeves 22 and the guide rod 23. A pressure rod 24 is fixedly installed at the top of the sliding box 34. An installation hole for the pressure rod 24 to be limited and slide is opened at the top of the brush tray 2. A stop block 25 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the positioning support arm 6. One end of the pressure rod 24 away from the sliding box 34 has a hemispherical structure. When the brush tray 2 rotates, it can drive the pressure rod 24 to contact the stop block 25, so that the pressure rod 24 moves along the outside of the stop block 25, and the stop block 25 can push the pressure rod 24 to move inside the installation hole of the brush tray 2. The pressure rod 24 drives the sliding box 34 to move inside the installation cavity of the brush tray 2. A second spring 26 is fixedly installed between the bottom of the sliding box 34 and the inner side of the installation cavity. When the pressure rod 24 is away from the stop block 25, the resilience of the second spring 26 is used to reset the pressure rod 24, realizing the continuous cleaning of the cleaning brush 3 by the U-shaped push bar 8. Two symmetrically distributed fixing plates 29 are fixedly installed at the top of the installation support plate 21. A moving rod 30 is fixedly installed between two adjacent fixing plates 29. An L-shaped groove for the moving rod 30 to be limited and slide is opened in the installation cavity of the brush tray 2. The bottom end of the L-shaped groove is of an inclined structure. When the installation support plate 21 moves, it can drive the moving rod 30 to move along the L-shaped groove through the fixing plate 29, and when the moving rod 30 moves to the inclined end of the L-shaped groove, the moving rod 30 can pull the installation support plate 21 to move through the fixing plate 29, so that the guide rod 23 on the installation support plate 21 moves along the outside of the sleeve 22, and the installation support plate 21 can drive the U-shaped push bar 8 to make an inclined movement to lift the cleaning brush 3, facilitating the rapid discharge of impurities. Two symmetrically distributed positioning support rods 31 are fixedly installed in the installation cavity of the brush tray 2. The sliding box 34 is slidably installed between the two positioning support rods 31 to improve the smoothness of the movement of the sliding box 34. A third spring 33 is fixedly installed between the sleeve 22 and the groove of the installation support plate 21, so that when the sleeve 22 moves, it can compress the third spring 33 to facilitate the reset of the sleeve 22.

[0025] Working principle: First, the staff installs two docking support plates 27 on the moving vehicle body to achieve the docking of the whole device with the moving vehicle body. Then, the staff places the moving vehicle body on the hull and makes the moving vehicle body move along the outer side of the hull. The sliding balls 11 on the four positioning support arms 6 move along the outer side of the hull. The driving motor 5 drives the universal joint 15 to rotate, so that the universal joint 15 drives the rhombic rod 17 to rotate. The rhombic rod 17 drives the brush disc 2 to rotate through the rhombic slider 18. The brush disc 2 drives the cleaning brush 3 to clean the attachments on the hull. When the positioning support arm 6 moves to the attachments on the inclined protrusion, the positioning support arm 6 drives the first telescopic rod 12 to swing with the universal ball 14 as the fulcrum, so that the positioning support arm 6 swings upward correspondingly. The positioning support arm 6 drives the brush disc 2 to tilt correspondingly through the positioning shaft 10 on the mounting socket 9. Moreover, the brush disc 2 bends the universal joint 15 through the rhombic rod 17, so that the brush disc 2 can perform corresponding angle adjustment according to the inclination angle of the attachments, and the brush disc 2 can clean the attachments through the cleaning brush 3. When the thickness of the attachments is relatively large, since the positioning support arm 6 moves along the surface of the attachments and the moving vehicle body moves along the outer side of the hull, using the height difference between the attachments and the hull, the positioning support arm 6 pulls the brush disc 2 close to the mounting disc 1 through the positioning shaft 10 on the mounting socket 9, so that the brush disc 2 moves along the outer side of the rhombic slider 18. The rhombic slider 18 compresses the first spring 20 and pushes the plug rod 19 to move. The spiral scraper 7 on the plug rod 19 approaches the attachments, so that the spiral scraper 7 breaks the attachments, improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning brush 3. At the same time, the brush disc 2 drives the pressure rod 24 to make a circular motion around the center of the brush disc 2. When the pressure rod 24 contacts the stop block 25 on the positioning support arm 6, the pressure rod 24 moves along the outer side of the stop block 25, so that the stop block 25 can push the pressure rod 24 to move along the mounting hole of the brush disc 2. The pressure rod 24 drives the sliding box 34 to move along the mounting cavity of the brush disc 2, so that the sliding box 34 pushes the mounting support plate 21 to move through the sleeve 22. The mounting support plate 21 drives the U-shaped push bar 8 to move along the inner side of the cleaning brush 3. At the same time, the mounting support plate 21 drives the two fixing plates 29 to move synchronously, so that the fixing plates 29 drive the moving rod 30 to move along the L-shaped groove of the brush disc 2. When the moving rod 30 moves to the inclined end of the L-shaped groove, the moving rod 30 pulls the mounting support plate 21 to move through the fixing plate 29, so that the guide rod 23 on the mounting support plate 21 moves along the outer side of the sleeve 22. The mounting support plate 21 can drive the U-shaped push bar 8 to make an inclined movement, so that the U-shaped push bar 8 picks up the cleaning brush 3, and the impurities in the cleaning brush 3 can be discharged outward, preventing the situation of impurity blockage in the cleaning brush 3, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the hull attachments.
