Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of underwater pipeline cleaning technology, specifically referring to an underwater cleaning robot. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of modern industry and urbanization, underwater pipeline systems have been widely used in many fields, such as water supply and drainage engineering, oil and gas transportation, and submarine cable protection. However, during long-term use, the surface of underwater pipelines is prone to the accumulation of various dirt, biofilms, corrosion products, and other impurities. These deposits not only affect the normal function of the pipeline, such as reducing its transport efficiency and increasing fluid resistance, but may also accelerate corrosion, shorten its service life, and potentially lead to leaks and other safety hazards, resulting in serious economic losses and environmental risks.

[0003] Traditional underwater pipe cleaning methods often face numerous challenges. Manual cleaning is inefficient and dangerous due to the complex underwater environment; factors such as water pressure and low temperatures pose threats to the health and safety of divers. Furthermore, some chemical cleaning methods may damage pipe materials or pollute the surrounding aquatic environment. Mechanical cleaning tools are often poorly adapted to pipes with irregular shapes and varying diameters, making comprehensive and effective cleaning difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides an underwater cleaning robot that features adaptive pipe diameter wrapping cleaning, buoyancy adjustment for energy saving, stable walking, and environmental friendliness.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows: This invention provides an underwater cleaning robot, including a biomimetic suction cup-type conforming walking mechanism, a wrap-around adaptive cleaning device, and a buoyancy adjustment mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the left cleaning component includes a left embracing cleaning plate, a connecting spring, and a left cleaning blade. The left embracing cleaning plate is connected to a drive gear, and left cleaning bristles are provided on the side wall of the left embracing cleaning plate. The connecting spring is inclinedly disposed on the upper wall of the left embracing cleaning plate, and the left cleaning blade is disposed on the connecting spring. The structure of the right cleaning component is the same as that of the left cleaning component.

[0009] The misaligned embracing cleaning component includes an upper embracing cleaning component and a lower embracing cleaning component. The upper embracing cleaning component includes a fixed frame plate, an upper embracing cleaning plate, an upper connecting spring, an upper cleaning blade, upper cleaning bristles, and a cleaning motor. The fixed frame plate is mounted on a biomimetic suction cup-type conforming walking mechanism. The upper embracing cleaning plate is rotatably mounted in the fixed frame plate. The upper connecting spring is inclinedly mounted on the upper upper embracing cleaning plate wall. The upper cleaning blade is mounted on the upper connecting spring. The upper cleaning bristles are mounted on the side wall of the upper embracing cleaning plate. The cleaning motor is mounted on the fixed frame plate, and the output end of the cleaning motor is connected to the upper embracing cleaning plate. The structure of the lower embracing cleaning component is the same as that of the upper embracing cleaning component.

[0010] Furthermore, the auxiliary mobile hugging and cleaning component includes a fixing component, an auxiliary hugging and cleaning plate, an auxiliary cleaning spring, an auxiliary cleaning blade, an auxiliary fixing frame, an auxiliary wheel, and an auxiliary motor. The fixing component is mounted on the bionic suction cup-type adhesion and walking mechanism. The auxiliary hugging and cleaning plate is rotatably mounted on the fixing component. The auxiliary cleaning spring is inclinedly mounted on the upper wall of the auxiliary hugging and cleaning plate. The auxiliary cleaning blade is mounted on the auxiliary cleaning spring. The auxiliary fixing frame is mounted on the auxiliary hugging and cleaning plate. The auxiliary wheel is rotatably mounted on the auxiliary fixing frame. The auxiliary motor is mounted on the fixing component. The output end of the auxiliary motor is connected to the auxiliary hugging and cleaning plate.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the buoyancy adjustment mechanism includes a float, a water pump, and a connecting pipe. The float is mounted on a biomimetic suction cup-type conforming walking mechanism, the water pump is mounted on a fixed mounting component, one end of the connecting pipe is connected to the water pump, and the other end of the connecting pipe is connected to the float through the water pump.

[0012] Furthermore, the biomimetic suction cup-type adhesive walking mechanism includes a fixed support connector and a tracked walking component, wherein the tracked walking component is symmetrically arranged on the fixed support connector; the tracked walking component includes a fixed plate, a drive gear, a track, and a walking motor, wherein the drive gear is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate, the track is sleeved on the drive gear, the fixed support connector has a drive cavity, the walking motor is located in the drive cavity, and the output end of the walking motor is connected to the drive gear.

[0013] The inner sidewall of the track is provided with a meshing groove, and the track is connected to the drive toothed disc through the meshing groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer wall of the track is provided with biomimetic suction cups to enhance the adhesion to the pipe and effectively prevent the robot from slipping.

[0015] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention using the above structure are as follows:

[0016] 1. When the robot of the present invention is working, it drives multiple hugging cleaning plates (left hugging cleaning plate, upper hugging cleaning plate, auxiliary hugging cleaning plate, etc.) to rotate through the drive motor, so as to achieve a hugging and tight wrapping of the pipe to be cleaned. This wrapping design allows the cleaning components to fully contact the pipe surface. Whether it is a symmetrical hugging cleaning component, a staggered hugging cleaning component, or an auxiliary moving hugging cleaning component, they all participate in the cleaning process, ensuring that the pipe is cleaned in all directions without leaving any dead corners.

[0017] 2. The self-adaptive cleaning blade in the fixed-fit cleaning component can elastically and adhesively scrape off the deposits on the pipe. After scraping, the cleaning brush can also be used for washing. This dual cleaning method of scraping first and then washing can effectively remove various dirt from the pipe surface, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of cleaning.

[0018] 3. Because the robot achieves its contact with the pipe by rotating multiple gripping cleaning plates, this structural design allows the robot to adapt to underwater pipes of different diameters. Whether the pipe diameter is large or small, the robot can adjust the angle and position of the gripping cleaning plates to fit tightly against the pipe surface and achieve effective cleaning, thus improving the robot's versatility.

[0019] 4. The robot's adaptive cleaning disc and cleaning brushes can be flexibly adjusted according to the undulations of the pipe surface. During the cleaning process, the cleaning disc and cleaning brushes can always maintain good contact with the pipe surface, ensuring the cleaning effect on pipes of different shapes.

[0020] 5. The robot is equipped with a float and a water pump. Operators can adjust the robot's buoyancy by adding or removing water from the float as needed. When cleaning upwards, adding water to the float increases buoyancy, thereby reducing the resistance when the robot is cleaning upwards; the opposite is true when cleaning downwards. This buoyancy adjustment method can effectively reduce the energy required for the robot to move vertically, achieving energy saving and efficiency improvement.

[0021] 6. The walking motor drives the drive gear plate to rotate, which in turn drives the track to rotate. With the help of the bionic suction cup, the robot can move steadily on the pipe. This stable movement ensures that the robot will not slip or shake during the cleaning process, thus ensuring the continuity and stability of the cleaning work and further improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0022] 7. Unlike some chemical cleaning methods that may cause environmental pollution, this robot mainly uses mechanical cleaning methods, such as scraping and scrubbing, which will not release harmful substances into the water, making it friendly to the surrounding water environment and meeting modern environmental protection requirements.

[0046] In practical use, all motors in this invention are waterproof motors. During underwater pipe cleaning operations, the operator first slowly lowers the robot into the water according to the underwater environment and the needs of the cleaning task. The water pump 38 is then started, injecting or pumping water into the float 37 to achieve suitable buoyancy for the robot, allowing it to float to a predetermined position. The robot is then attached to the pipe to be cleaned. The drive motor 17 is then started, rotating the drive gear 13, which in turn rotates the meshing gear 14.

The opposite is true when it sinks for cleaning. After adjustment, the walking motor 45 is started. The walking motor 45 rotates and drives the drive toothed disc 43 to rotate. The drive toothed disc 43 rotates and drives the track 44 to rotate. Under the action of the bionic suction cup 48, the robot rises steadily, thereby driving the fixed fitting cleaning component 5 to rise. The adaptive cleaning blade 10 in the fixed fitting cleaning component 5 can elastically and adhesively scrape off the attachments on the pipe. After scraping, it can be brushed by the cleaning bristles 12. At the same time, the symmetrical hugging cleaning component 6, the staggered hugging cleaning component 7, and the auxiliary moving hugging cleaning component 8 also perform the above-mentioned cleaning on the pipe, achieving the technical effect of wrapping the pipe for adaptive cleaning. The above is the specific working process of the present invention. This step can be repeated for the next use.
