Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of deep-sea mining hose cleaning technology, specifically to an intelligent robot and method for cleaning biological deposits on deep-sea mining hoses. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing depletion of terrestrial mineral resources, deep-sea minerals rich in metal nodules have become an important source of resources to meet the needs of current technological development. Subsea mining vehicles are key equipment for the development of deep-sea mineral resources, and their successful development has made the commercial mining of deep-sea resources possible. As the core equipment for mineral hoisting, the hoisting hose faces multiple severe challenges in long-term deep-sea operations due to the complex seabed environment. Its safe and stable operation directly determines the safety and economy of deep-sea mining operations.
[0003] In deep-sea operations, mining hoses primarily face "biofouling corrosion," which manifests itself in several ways: Deep-sea mining hoses span hundreds to thousands of meters, providing a wide attachment surface for marine organisms; their flexible design makes them prone to deformation under ocean currents and waves, leading to microcracks or coating peeling, creating initial points for biofouling; prolonged immersion allows bacteria, diatoms, and other microorganisms to rapidly colonize the hose surface, forming biofilms. The extracellular polymers secreted by these biofilms further attract larger organisms such as barnacle larvae and mussels, gradually solidifying into a hard fouling layer. The metabolic activities of deep-sea microorganisms produce acidic substances, accelerating the corrosion process of the mining hose; this corrosion further damages the hose's surface structure, creating conditions for even more biofouling, forming a vicious cycle of "attachment-corrosion."
[0004] Furthermore, during the mineral hoisting process, the high-pressure, high-speed slurry flow carrying solid particles continuously erodes and rubs against the inner wall of the hoisting hose, causing wear. The synergistic effect of biofouling corrosion and hose wear significantly reduces the structural strength of the hoisting hose, greatly increasing the risk of hose rupture. Once a rupture occurs, it will trigger multiple problems. For example, the leaked slurry may contain heavy metals or chemical treatment agents, causing serious pollution to the deep-sea ecosystem; a hoisting hose rupture will force the entire mining system to shut down, delaying production plans; the repair and replacement costs of the hoisting hose are extremely high, and high-pressure slurry leaks may damage other supporting equipment, causing additional economic losses.
[0005] Therefore, the treatment of bio-adsorption on deep-sea ore lifting hoses is particularly important. Existing technologies can only remove the bio-adsorption through underwater robots under human control. It is not possible to systematically integrate robots onto the ore lifting hoses to achieve on-the-loop operation. Cleaning the entire long-span ore lifting hose is a huge drain on manpower and resources.
[0006] The prior art CN222385522U discloses a carbon fiber tube marine organism removal support that uses scrapers on its fixed plate to scrape and clean the organisms adsorbed in the tube. However, there is a certain gap between adjacent scrapers, which cannot effectively remove the adsorbed organisms within the gap. Even if the technology connects multiple frames vertically to increase the contact area between the scraper and the outer wall of the tube to eliminate the impact of the gap, it still cannot achieve full coverage of the outer wall of the tube, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. In particular, for some small marine organisms with strong adsorption capacity, it is basically impossible to clean them by scraping with the scraper, resulting in very low cleaning efficiency.
[0007] The existing technology CN222817542U discloses a submarine pipeline cleaning device that uses a scraper and a circumferential rotating flushing device to clean large volumes of deposits and dirt on the inner wall of the pipeline. However, it also fails to treat adsorbed organisms and monitor the cleaning effect.
[0008] The technologies disclosed above all use physical methods to clean and protect subsea pipelines. However, they cannot effectively remove marine organisms with strong adsorption capacity, cannot differentiate between areas with different adsorption levels on the subsea pipeline, consume a lot of energy, and cannot obtain real-time information about the pipeline after cleaning.
[0009] Another existing technology, CN211203294U, discloses a locking and sealing structure for a pressurized plugging pipe clamp to prevent detachment during installation. This structure utilizes the interconnection of a locking mechanism and a sealing mechanism, as well as their connection to the pipe clamp housing, to prevent detachment of these mechanisms during installation. However, this existing technology can only perform single-time repairs at a fixed location and cannot achieve continuous operation. The entire construction process requires personnel and equipment assistance, consuming significant manpower and resources. Furthermore, due to the complexity of the deep-sea operating environment and the single-time, fixed-location nature of this technology, it is not suitable for deep-sea mining hose operations.
[0010] In summary, the existing technology lacks an integrated technology that combines "adsorption biological removal + real-time monitoring + damage prediction" specifically for the ore lifting hose of deep-sea mining vehicles. This technology cannot efficiently remove organisms with different adsorption intensities from the hose surface, nor can it monitor the hose status in real time and provide early warnings of rupture risks, resulting in a lack of effective guarantees for the safe operation of the ore lifting hose. Summary of the Invention
[0011] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides an intelligent cleaning robot and cleaning method for deep-sea mining hoses, which solves the problems of strong adsorption of biological residues and low efficiency in existing physical removal methods, the inability of existing technologies to operate continuously, and the inability of existing technologies to differentiate treatment based on the degree of biological adsorption.
[0012] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a deep-sea ore lifting hose adsorbing biological intelligent cleaning robot, comprising two rotatably connected semi-cylindrical shells that wrap the ore lifting hose, and a power storage compartment for storing power is provided inside the shell.
[0013] A visual drug application device is installed at the upper end of the shell to monitor the biosorption on the mining hose and to perform preliminary drug treatment.
[0014] Below the visual application device, inside the two shells, is a vibratory flow ablation device for further treatment of the adsorbed biological material on the mining hose;
[0015] Below the vibratory flow erosion device is a positioning and detection device that monitors the treated lifting hose, treats stubborn residual adsorbents, and monitors the condition of the lifting hose.
[0016] Several AUV thrusters are spaced apart on the bottom sidewall of the housing;
[0017] It also includes a communication control device for controlling the visual drug application device, the oscillating ablation device, the positioning detection device, the AUV propulsion device, and the signal transmission.
[0018] Furthermore, the visual drug application device includes a drug storage chamber located at the upper end of the housing for holding the drug, a plurality of first high-definition cameras are spaced apart at the top of the drug storage chamber, a plurality of turbine drug nozzles are spaced apart on the inner side wall of the drug storage chamber, and a nozzle controller for controlling the dosage and range of the turbine drug nozzles, wherein the nozzle controller is signal-connected to a communication control device.
[0019] Furthermore, the vibratory flow ablation device includes a vibrator located below the turbine agent nozzle for vibrating and relaxing the adsorbed organisms in the pipeline to reduce their adsorption capacity, and a vibration controller for controlling the vibrator. A contact-type limit sensor is provided on the surface of the vibrator to limit the vibrator and prevent the vibrator from compressing the lifting hose and causing damage to it. Several jet nozzles are arranged at intervals below the vibrator for further vibration relaxation and jet shedding treatment of the adsorbed organisms, and a jet controller for controlling the jet nozzles. The vibration controller and the jet controller are signal connected to the communication control device.
[0020] Furthermore, the positioning and detection device includes a chute located below the jet nozzle, a sliding base slidably connected to the chute, a retractable robotic arm and a second high-definition camera mounted on the sliding base, a retractable sonar detector located below the chute, a thin-film piezoresistive pressure sensor to prevent the sonar detector from damaging the pipeline on the surface of the sonar detector, and a sonar controller inside the sonar detector to record the position of the sonar detector's detection data and transmit it to the communication control device.
[0021] Furthermore, the two housings are hinged together by a central pivot, which is connected to a hydraulic motor via a connecting rod assembly, and the hydraulic motor is signal-connected to a communication control device.
[0022] Furthermore, the communication control device includes an ACN underwater acoustic communication module for transmitting detection data from the first high-definition camera, the second high-definition camera, and the sonar controller. It also includes an intelligent processing module for processing the data transmitted by the ACN underwater acoustic communication module and predicting whether the mining hose will be damaged. The intelligent processing module is also used for regulating the nozzle controller, vibration controller, jet controller, robotic arm, AUV thruster, and hydraulic motor.
[0023] A method for cleaning biological deposits adsorbed on deep-sea mining hoses, employing the aforementioned intelligent cleaning robot for cleaning biological deposits on deep-sea mining hoses, includes the following steps:
[0024] S1: Operation preparation, the robot is stored in the charging compartment of the mining vehicle and charged, and chemical agents are replenished to the storage bin;
[0025] S2: Start operation. The AUV thruster is activated and adjusted according to the image data provided by the first high-definition camera, gradually moving towards the mining hose.
[0026] S3: The housing closes precisely. The intelligent processing module controls the hydraulic motor to open the housing and gradually approach the lifting hose. When the contact limit sensor is triggered, the hydraulic motor stops running, fixing the housing to the lifting hose. At this time, the vibrator is in close contact with the lifting hose.
[0027] S4: Chemical pretreatment, the first high-definition camera captures the bio-adsorption image on the surface of the mining hose and transmits it to the intelligent processing module through the ACN underwater acoustic communication module. The intelligent processing module processes the image to identify the adhering substances, and then controls the spraying mode of the turbine chemical nozzle through the nozzle controller to spray the chemical. The spraying mode includes wide-angle atomization mode and narrow beam spray mode.
[0028] S5: Vibration relaxation, intelligent processing module adjusts the vibration intensity of the vibrator at each position through the vibration controller based on the different adsorption conditions in the image data transmitted from the first high-definition camera, thereby reducing the adsorption effect of the adsorbed organisms on the pipeline.
[0029] S6: Jet shedding. The intelligent processing module adjusts the flow rate of the jet nozzles at each location through the jet controller based on the different adsorption conditions in the image data transmitted from the first high-definition camera, so that the attached organisms are shedding by jet.
[0030] S7: Residual monitoring. The sliding base moves back and forth along the slide groove. The cleaned image captured by the second high-definition camera is transmitted to the intelligent processing module through the ACN underwater acoustic communication module. The intelligent processing module determines the location of the remaining residual adsorbent on the mining hose and whether further processing is needed based on the transmitted image data.
[0031] S8: Precise cleaning and re-inspection. The intelligent processing module controls the robotic arm to extend and approach to remove the remaining adsorbed substances. After cleaning, the robotic arm retracts and is re-inspected by the second high-definition camera. If it does not meet the standards, the cleaning is repeated. After cleaning, the intelligent processing module controls the robotic arm to reset, the sliding base resumes movement, and the inspection continues through the second high-definition camera.
[0032] S9: Wall thickness detection. After the robotic arm finishes cleaning, the intelligent processing module controls the sonar detector to extend. When the thin-film piezoresistive pressure sensor detects the contact force, the extension stops. Wall thickness detection is started and linked with the odometer of the AUV thruster to record the detection position. The information is then transmitted to the intelligent processing module through the ACN underwater acoustic communication module.
[0033] S10: Risk assessment and intelligent processing module compares the wall thickness of the mining hose with the original wall thickness data to determine the risk of damage. If the data is abnormal, the AUV thruster is controlled to stop and rotate to detect the full circumference wall thickness of the hose, and the data is transmitted to the water work vessel through the ACN underwater acoustic communication module. If the data is normal, the sonar detector is retrieved and the AUV thruster continues to work along the hose.
[0034] S11: Operation completion. When the power supply is insufficient or the operation is completed, all devices stop operating. The intelligent processing module controls the hydraulic motor to rotate and open the shell. The robot disengages from the hoisting hose. The hydraulic motor reverses, the shell closes, and the robot returns to the mining vehicle charging compartment.
[0035] Furthermore, in S4, the intelligent processing module incorporates an optimized YOLOv5 model, and the YOLOv5 model processes image data in the following steps:
[0036] S41. Input layer image preprocessing: converts the original image into standardized data that the model can process, eliminating interference from the deep-sea environment;
[0037] S42. Feature extraction is performed on the backbone network, including:
[0038] (a) The initial convolutional layer performs low-level feature extraction.
[0039] ,
[0040] In the formula, Output feature map; : Convolutional kernel weights for the c-th output channel and the k-th input channel (RGB); : Bias term; Activation function Introducing nonlinearity;
[0041] (ii) Introducing the CSP module and SE attention mechanism for feature extraction and biometric enhancement;
[0042] (iii) Multi-scale feature fusion is performed in the SPPF layer;
[0043] S43. The neck network fuses multi-scale features through the PANet structure and outputs a scale feature map.
[0044] S44. The head network predicts the bounding box, confidence level, and category of biosorption based on the scale feature map obtained in S43.
[0045] S45. Loss Calculation and Model Optimization;
[0046] S46. Post-processing, output the final result.
[0047] Furthermore, in S42,
[0048] The CSP module includes:
[0049] (a) Input features Split into (50% channel) and (50% channel);
[0050] (b) Processed by two residual blocks (convolution + skip connections) ;
[0051] (c) Fusion get ;
[0052] The SE attention module includes:
[0053] (1) Global average pooling: , This represents the global feature of channel c;
[0054] (2) Channel weight calculation: , , For the weights of the fully connected layer, Output weights of 0 to 1;
[0055] (3) Feature weighting: , These are channel attention weights, used to dynamically adjust the importance of different channels: for biometric channels, Take a larger value (i.e.) ↑), to enhance the expression of biosorption-related features; for background channels, Take a smaller value (i.e.) (↓) to suppress background noise interference.
[0056] Furthermore, the intelligent processing module in S10 incorporates a wall thickness analysis model, including:
[0057] (A) Data acquisition;
[0058] (B) Calculate the local deviation rate and the overall deviation rate;
[0059] (C) Calculate corrosion rate and predict future wall thickness;
[0060] (D) Risk level determination.
[0061] Furthermore, in the wall thickness analysis model, in step (B):
[0062] Local deviation rate Overall deviation rate ,
[0063] Where M: the number of detection points along the circumference of the hose. : No. One detection point ( =1, 2, ..., M), Original standard wall thickness of the hose : No. Measured wall thickness at each point : No. Spatial weights of each point.
[0064] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0065] I. Multi-level collaborative cleaning significantly improves the efficiency of bioattachment removal. This application employs a three-level treatment process: "pretreatment with a visual application device (targeted spraying of chemicals) → enhancement with a vibratory flow ablation device (vibration relaxation + jet shedding) → precise removal with a positioning detection device (robotic arm targeted treatment of residues)," forming a tiered removal mechanism for organisms with varying adsorption intensities. Specifically, the turbine chemical nozzle can switch between wide-angle atomization (mild) and narrow-beam spray (severe) modes based on the adsorption level. The parameters of the vibrator and jet nozzle can be dynamically adjusted. Combined with the robotic arm's targeted treatment of stubborn residues, this solves the problems of incomplete physical cleaning and blind spots in existing technologies, significantly reducing the bioattachment rate and minimizing the risk of biocorrosion at its source.
[0066] II. Intelligent closed-loop control enables fully autonomous operation and reduces labor costs. The communication control device transmits images and detection data in real time through the ACN underwater acoustic communication module. The intelligent processing module completes the adsorption level classification, equipment parameter adjustment, cleaning effect re-inspection, and risk assessment. No manual intervention is required throughout the process, realizing an automated closed loop of "monitoring-decision-execution-feedback". This reduces the reliance on manpower in deep-sea operations, improves the operational efficiency of long-span ore hoisting hoses, and adapts to the needs of large-scale deep-sea mining.
[0067] III. Precise protection design to avoid secondary damage to the hoisting hose from equipment. The contact-type limit sensor on the vibrator surface can trigger a limit when the equipment approaches the hose, preventing excessive pressure from the vibrator from causing wear on the hose coating; the thin-film piezoresistive pressure sensor on the sonar detector surface can accurately sense the contact force, ensuring that it stops extending during detection and avoiding mechanical damage to the pipe wall. This design solves the problem of existing cleaning / inspection equipment easily damaging the hose and ensures the structural integrity of the hoisting hose.
[0068] IV. Integrated design enables coordinated "cleaning-monitoring-early warning" to ensure the safe operation of the hose. The robot integrates functions such as visual monitoring, biological cleaning, and wall thickness detection. After cleaning biological deposits, it can monitor the hose wall thickness in real time through sonar detectors and compare it with the original data to assess the risk of damage. In case of abnormalities, the data is transmitted to the surface vessel in a timely manner, forming a full-chain guarantee from biological removal to structural safety early warning. This avoids risks such as slurry leakage and system shutdown in advance, significantly improving the safety and economy of deep-sea mining operations.
[0069] V. Adaptive Operation Capability, Adaptable to Long-Span Hoses and Complex Deep-Sea Environments: The two semi-cylindrical shells achieve precise opening and closing through a central pivot and hydraulic motor. Combined with the multi-angle motion control of the AUV thrusters, it can continuously move and operate along the mining hoisting hose, covering long-span hoses of hundreds to thousands of meters. The entire equipment adopts an underwater sealed design, adapting to complex environments such as deep-sea high pressure and ocean current interference, improving the robot's ability to adapt to the environment.
[0070] VI. Based on an improved YOLOv5 bioadsorption recognition algorithm, the weights of biofeature channels are dynamically enhanced through the SE attention module (suppressing noise from seawater, hose backgrounds, etc.), and a depth correction layer is used to offset image distortion caused by different water depths and pressures. This solves the problem of missed detection of small targets in low-light and blurred water flow scenarios of the original model. In actual testing, the overall recognition accuracy is stable at over 95%, providing a precise target localization foundation for subsequent graded cleaning. It achieves refined classification of bioadsorption, adapts to the algorithm requirements of tiered cleaning, and can be expanded to four categories: "biofilm, small attachments, large attachments, and mixed attachments," and uses a category reliability factor (…). ) Optimize classification loss and accurately identify attached substances.
[0071] VII. The wall thickness analysis model can accurately identify local corrosion risks and avoid missing key areas. The model uses a spatial weighting factor ( The model assigns higher weights to high-corrosion areas such as hose joints and bends, solving the fatal flaw of the original model that "the average wall thickness meets the standard but local damage has occurred". In practical applications, the sensitivity of identifying local corrosion (such as a 40% loss of wall thickness at the joint but an overall average loss of 20%) is improved by 50%, effectively avoiding the risk of slurry leakage.

[0076] A kind of deep-sea ore lifting hose 1 adsorbs a biological intelligent cleaning robot, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the structure is as follows:
[0077] I. Overall Structural Composition
[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent cleaning robot of this application has an overall openable "semi-cylindrical assembly" structure, which is used to fit onto the outer surface of the deep-sea mining hose 1 and move along its axis for operation. Its core structure includes: two semi-cylindrical shells 2, a visual drug application device 5, a vibratory flow erosion device 6, a positioning detection device 7, an AUV thruster 4, and a communication control device 9. The components work together to achieve the integrated function of "biological monitoring - graded cleaning - status detection - autonomous movement".
[0079] like Figure 2As shown, the semi-cylindrical shell 2 can be made of titanium alloy. The length of a single shell 2 is 1.2m, and the inner diameter is 50mm larger than the outer diameter of the mining hose 1 (to fit a standard mining hose 1 with a diameter of 500mm). The two shells 2 are hinged by a central pivot 8 (the pivot can be made of 316L stainless steel with chrome plating for rust prevention). It can rotate around the pivot to achieve opening and closing from 0° to 180° (completely wrapping the hose when closed, and easy to detach when open). The power storage compartment 3 is embedded inside the side wall of the shell 2 and can use a deep-sea pressure-resistant lithium battery pack (capacity 200Ah, working voltage 24V) to support the robot to work continuously for 8 hours. When the battery is low (20% remaining), the return program is automatically triggered.
[0080] II. Specific Structure and Parameters of Each Functional Device
[0081] 1. Visual drug delivery device 5, such as Figure 3 As shown.
[0082] Located at the upper end of shell 2, it is used for biosorption monitoring and reagent pretreatment, specifically including:
[0083] Storage compartment 51: A 50L corrosion-resistant polyethylene container for storing isocyanurate-based non-oxidizing biocides (concentration 5%).

[0088] 2. Vibrating flow erosion device 6, such as Figure 3 As shown.
[0089] Located below the visual drug delivery device 5, it is used for biological vibration relaxation and jet detachment, specifically including:
[0090] Vibrator 61: Four vibrators are distributed circumferentially on the inner wall of each housing 2. Miniature ultrasonic vibrators 61 (power 50W, frequency 20kHz) can be used. The inner wall is in the shape of a circular groove 64 (radius 250mm, matching the curvature of the hose). A contact limit sensor 62 (OMRON, D5V model can be used) is installed in the groove 64 by a spring (spring coefficient 5N / mm). The contact limit sensor 62 protrudes 5mm from the surface of the vibrator 61. When the micro switch is triggered, the vibrator 61 stops approaching (ensuring the contact pressure with the hose is ≤5N to avoid damage).
[0091] Vibration controller: Corresponds one-to-one with vibrator 61, and adjusts the vibration intensity (10-50W adjustable) through PWM signal. It is dynamically controlled by communication control device 9 according to the bio-adsorption thickness.
[0092] Jet nozzle 63: An annular groove 64 can be provided in the inner wall of the housing 2. The jet nozzle 63 is located in the groove 64 and the top end does not exceed the groove 64 to prevent damage to the mining hose 1. The jet nozzles 63 are distributed in two rows in each groove 64 (12 in total). High pressure rotary nozzles (maximum water pressure 10MPa) can be used. The flow rate can be adjusted by the jet controller (PLC controller) (5-15m / s adjustable).
[0093] 3. Positioning detection device 7, such as Figure 3 As shown.
[0094] Located below the oscillating erosion device 6, it is used for residual cleaning and hose condition monitoring, specifically including:
[0095] Slide 71 and sliding base 72: Slide 71 is a T-shaped guide rail set along the inner wall of housing 2. The sliding base 72 is driven by a servo motor (speed 0.1m / s) to reciprocate along slide 71 with a positioning accuracy of ±1mm.
[0096] Robotic arm 73 and second high-definition camera 74: Robotic arm 73 is a 3-degree-of-freedom telescopic arm (maximum extension length 300mm, positioning accuracy ±0.5mm), and a miniature steel wire brush (50mm in diameter) can be installed at the end; the second high-definition camera 74 (with the same parameters as the first high-definition camera 52) is fixed to the sliding base 72 to capture images after cleaning.
[0097] Sonar detector 75: retractable (travel 0-200mm), using a high-frequency ultrasonic probe (frequency 5MHz, measurement accuracy ±0.1mm), with a thin-film piezoresistive pressure sensor 76 (model FSR402, thickness 0.5mm) attached to the surface, and a built-in Wheatstone bridge circuit, which stops extending when a contact force ≥0.5N is detected; the sonar controller records the detection position (linked with the AUV positioning system, error ±5mm) and transmits the data.
[0098] 4. AUV thruster 4 and central pivot shaft 8, such as Figure 3 As shown.
[0099] AUV thrusters 4: Three are evenly distributed around the bottom sidewall of each housing 2. They can be ducted thrusters (100W power, 50N thrust) and can be rotated 360° to adjust the direction, enabling the robot to move along the hose axially (speed 0-0.5m / s) and rotate circumferentially (angular velocity 0-30° / s).
[0100] The central pivot shaft 8 is connected to the hydraulic motor (model OMM20, working pressure 16MPa) via a connecting rod assembly. The hydraulic motor is controlled by the communication control device 9, which drives the housing 2 to achieve an opening and closing speed of 0.5° / s. When closed, it can be locked by an electromagnetic lock (suction force 1000N).
[0101] 5. Communication control device 9, such as Figure 3 As shown.
[0102] As the "central brain" of the robot, it includes:
[0103] ACN Underwater Acoustic Communication Module 91: Employs an underwater acoustic modem (communication rate 100kbps, transmission distance 1km) to transmit camera images, sonar data, and equipment status information in real time.
[0104] Intelligent processing module 92: Based on the NVIDIA Jetson Nano edge computing platform, it has a built-in bio-adsorption recognition algorithm (YOLOv5 model, recognition accuracy ≥95%) and wall thickness analysis model. It can classify the adsorption level (mild / severe) of the first / second high-definition camera images 74; send adjustment commands to each controller (nozzle, vibration, jet, etc.); compare the real-time wall thickness with the original data (preset initial wall thickness of the hose 50mm), and trigger an abnormal alarm when the detected wall thickness is ≤30mm.
[0105] III. Specific Implementation Steps of the Cleanup Method
[0106] S1: Homework Preparation
[0107] The robot is stored in the charging compartment of the mining vehicle (water depth 5000m) and the lithium battery pack is charged through the charging interface. At the same time, isocyanurate agents are added to the storage compartment 51 through the quick dosing port until it is full. The intelligent processing module 92 self-checks the status of each device (camera, sensor, thruster, etc.) and enters the standby state after confirming that there are no problems.
[0108] S2: Robot Navigation
[0109] The watercraft sends a start command, which is received by the robot via the ACN underwater acoustic communication module 91. The robot then starts the AUV thruster 4 (initial thrust 20N), and the first high-definition camera 52 captures real-time images of the surrounding environment. The intelligent processing module 92 recognizes the outline of the hoisting hose 1 through the images, calculates the relative position, and adjusts the direction of the thruster (heading angle error ≤5°) so that the robot gradually approaches the hose (the thrusting speed is reduced to 0.1m / s when it is 1m away from the hose).
[0110] S3: Housing 2 precisely closed
[0111] The intelligent processing module 92 controls the hydraulic motor to drive the housing 2 to open to 90°, and the pusher fine-tunes the robot position so that the hose is between the two housings 2; then the housing 2 is controlled to close slowly (speed 0.2° / s).

[0173] The sliding base 72 reciprocates along the slide groove 71 at a speed of 0.1m / s. The second high-definition camera 74 captures the cleaned image and transmits it to the intelligent processing module 92. The intelligent processing module 92 identifies residual organisms (a single residual area ≥1cm² is a residual that needs to be treated) and records its coordinate position (the error relative to the robot's initial position is ≤5mm).

The sonar controller records the detection position (linked with the odometer of the AUV thruster 4), and the data is transmitted to the processing module in real time.
[0180] S10: Risk Assessment
[0181] The intelligent processing module 92 has a built-in wall thickness analysis model: the calculation steps include,
[0182] (A) Data acquisition: Sonar detector 75 collects wall thickness data at M=12 points along the circumference of the flexible tube. - For example: [48, 47, 45, 30, 49, 46, 44, 28, 47, 48, 46, 45] mm;
[0183] Historical exploration data: the time and wall thickness of the last 3 measurements (e.g., t1 = 10 days ago). =50mm; t2 = 5 days ago, =49mm; t3=0 days (current) =47mm);
[0184] Spatial weight preset: Based on historical corrosion data, points 4 and 8 are the seams (high incidence of corrosion). = =1.5, the rest of the points =0.8;
[0185] (B) Calculate the local deviation rate and the overall deviation rate. Local deviation rate Overall deviation rate ,

[0187] Local deviation rate (in) (For example, =4) =40%;
[0188] Overall Deviation Rate: Substituting the data, we get: =28%;
[0189] (C) Calculation of corrosion rate and prediction of future wall thickness:
[0190] Based on past n detection data (times t1, t2, ..., t... n Wall thickness , ..., The current corrosion rate is predicted using the exponential smoothing method: ,
[0191] In the formula, : Current predicted corrosion rate (unit: mm / day, positive value indicates wall thickness reduction). Smoothing coefficient (0.5 < α < 1, take 0.7, more focused on recent data). The difference in wall thickness between the two most recent measurements (a negative sign indicates thinning). : The time interval between the two most recent detections (in days); : The corrosion rate predicted in the last prediction (initial value is 0);
[0192] Based on the current corrosion rate, predict the wall thickness for the next k days: ;
[0193] In the formula, Predicted wall thickness after k days (unit: mm). Prediction period (e.g., 7 days, early warning maintenance time).
[0194] The calculation steps are as follows:
[0195] Difference between the last two data points: =47 49= 2mm, time interval t3 t2 = 5 days, recent corrosion rate: 5 2= 0.4mm / day (the negative sign indicates thinning);
[0196] Last predicted rate = 0.3 mm / day (calculated based on t1 and t2);
[0197] Current corrosion rate: =0.7×( 0.4)+(1 0.7)×( 0.3)= 0.37mm / day;
[0198] Predicted wall thickness in 7 days: =47 7 × 0.37 = 47 2.59 = 44.41 mm;
[0199] (D) Risk level determination; Risk level ,
[0200] Threshold meanings: 20% / 40%: Safety / dangerous deviation thresholds based on material strength experiments (when the wall thickness loss exceeds 40%, the structural strength decreases by more than 60%); 0.01 / 0.05mm / day: Corrosion rate thresholds (exceeding 0.05mm / day indicates accelerated corrosion, and the safety threshold may be exceeded within 7 days).
[0201] current =28% (between 20% and 40%) =0.37mm / day (far greater than 0.05mm / day). According to the judgment formula, a "danger" registration is triggered, and the system sends an emergency warning to the waterborne operation vessel, recommending immediate shutdown for maintenance.
[0202] During use, the intelligent processing module 92 compares the real-time wall thickness data with the original value (50mm). If the measured wall thickness is ≥40mm (corresponding to...), the module will process the data. ≤20%), and =0.005mm / day (≤0.01mm / day); the model determines "safe", and the system executes: the AUV thruster 4 moves along the hose axis at a speed of 0.3m / s to enter the next work section for detection; if the detected value is <30mm, the intelligent processing module 92 controls the robot to stop moving, starts circumferential rotation (angular velocity 10° / s), performs wall thickness detection around the entire circumference of the position, and sends an abnormal alarm (including position coordinates and wall thickness data) to the water work vessel through the ACN module, waiting for manual instructions.
