Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of ship surface cleaning, and in particular to a ship stabilizing cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Ships sail year-round in the ocean, which is rich in marine life. As a result, barnacles and other marine organisms can attach to the surface of the hull. The rough hull surface increases the resistance to navigation and reduces the speed of the ship. At the same time, the attached organisms can also produce corrosive components such as strong acidic mucus, which can damage the hull and affect navigation safety. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the marine organisms attached to the hull surface regularly.
[0003] Existing cleaning devices have a cleaning structure and a crawling mechanism. During the cleaning process of a ship's hull, the cleaning mechanism is responsible for cleaning the surface of the hull in the current location, while the crawling mechanism moves after cleaning. However, when cleaning the surface of a moored ship, existing cleaning devices require frequent positioning, are prone to falling off, and have unstable crawling. At the same time, existing cleaning devices lack reliable cleaning guidance, resulting in uneven and incomplete cleaning, thus reducing cleaning efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention is proposed to provide a marine stabilizing cleaning device that overcomes or at least partially solves the problems of frequent positioning, easy falling, unstable crawling, and uneven and incomplete cleaning during the moving cleaning process.

[0007] A slide rail assembly having a suction cup, wherein a sliding component is slidably mounted on the slide rail assembly.
[0008] Optionally, the slide rail assembly further includes:
[0009] Multiple slide rails are arranged in parallel on the lower side of the submarine body; each slide rail is slidably mounted on the adjacent slide rail in the front-rear direction; at least one end of each slide rail is provided with the suction cup; the sliding assembly is configured to slide on the unfolded slide rail.

[0012] A plurality of first driving units are mounted on the support unit and configured to drive the first sliding unit to move in the lateral direction;
[0013] A plurality of second sliding portions are movably disposed on the support portion in the lateral direction; the second sliding portions are configured to slide and engage with the other side of each slide rail; the plurality of second sliding portions are arranged sequentially in the front-back direction; the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence;

[0015] Optionally, the first sliding part and the second sliding part have the same structure, both being sliders;
[0016] Each of the slide rails has grooves on both sides that mate with the slider.
[0017] Optionally, the first sliding part is a slider, and the corresponding side of the slide rail is a groove;
[0018] The second sliding part is a groove, and the corresponding side of the slide rail is a protrusion; the protrusion on the slide rail is inserted into the groove on the corresponding other slide rail, so that each slide rail is slidably mounted on the adjacent slide rail in the front-back direction;
[0019] The bottom of the groove on the slide rail is provided with a first T-shaped groove, and the rear end of the protrusion of the corresponding slide rail is provided with a first T-shaped block that mates with the first T-shaped groove.
[0020] Optionally, in each pair of adjacent sliding rails, the front end of the sliding rail with the groove is provided with a drive motor, the drive motor is connected to a gear, and the corresponding other sliding rail is provided with a rack, the gear meshing with the rack.
[0021] Optionally, each of the slide rails is a telescopic slide rail, comprising:
[0022] The outer cylinder has a protrusion on one side and a rack on the same side; a strip-shaped through hole is provided on the other side of the outer cylinder.
[0023] The inner rail is telescopically mounted on the outer cylinder. The inner rail is configured to conform to the outer cylinder, and the inner rail is provided with the first T-slot, which corresponds to the strip-shaped through hole.
[0024] Optionally, the lower surface of the support is provided with a through groove, and an anti-slip door is provided at the front end of the groove; the slide rail assembly is disposed in the groove.

[0027] Optionally, each suction cup is universally hinged with three telescopic rods, and the other end of the three telescopic rods is fixedly connected to the corresponding slide rail assembly.
[0028] In the marine stabilization cleaning device of this invention, a guide rail is formed by the relative movement of slide rail assemblies. The sliding assembly provides reliable support and sliding between the slide rail and the support part of the device body. The slide rail assembly, through multiple suction cups, forms a rigid and stable "scaffolding"-like working platform, ensuring a constant working distance and angle between the ultrasonic cleaning device and the ship's surface, thus ensuring the uniformity and thoroughness of the cleaning effect on the marine organisms attached to the ship's surface. The slide rail guides the cleaning process, preventing frequent movement of the submarine body and improving the stability of the positioning, thereby increasing the effective operating rate. The interaction and fixation between multiple slide rails ensure that even if a single suction cup fails unexpectedly, the remaining suction cups can still provide sufficient suction force to prevent the risk of falling, resulting in high reliability and strong resistance to water flow interference.
[0029] Furthermore, in the marine stabilization and cleaning device of the present invention, the relative sliding connection between the slide rails achieves the effect of unfolding, saving space while increasing the extension range, greatly expanding the working radius after the device is positioned, and further reducing the time of frequent positioning of the device.
[0030] Furthermore, in the marine stabilizing cleaning device of the present invention, the matching slide rails unfold sequentially to form a stable and reliable slide rail platform, and the sliding parts on both sides reliably and effectively clamp the device during the sliding process to ensure stability during movement.

[0047] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional schematic structural diagram of one embodiment of the marine stabilization and cleaning submarine of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 10 This invention provides a marine stabilization and cleaning device, comprising: a submarine body 1 and a slide rail assembly 5.
[0048] The submarine body 1 includes a support section 2, and an ultrasonic cleaning device 3 and a sliding assembly 4 mounted on the support section 2. Specifically, the submarine body 1, as a device capable of movement in water, typically has a frame, a buoyancy system, a propulsion system, a sensor system, a controller system, and various operational systems configured for different operational scenarios. The frame, made of corrosion-resistant material, is used to mount equipment; in this application, it can also be used to mount the support section 2 below it, allowing the support section 2 to house the subsequent ultrasonic cleaning device 3 and sliding assembly 4. The buoyancy system uses buoyancy foam mounted on the frame structure, equipped with counterweights to ensure the device remains stable in the water. The propulsion system employs multiple waterproof thrusters to provide forward, backward, up, down, left, right, and rotational movement capabilities. The sensor system is equipped with an image acquisition unit, sonar, depth / altitude sensors, and a positioning system to ensure real-time observation of the underwater situation and device location. The controller system consists of all wiring and computers sealed within a pressure-resistant "electronics compartment," processing commands and sensor data, and connected to the surface operator via cables. The operational system is equipped with appropriate cleaning equipment according to the mission, such as the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 in this application.
[0049] The ultrasonic cleaning device 3 installed at the lower end of the support 2 includes multiple ultrasonic generating units. Each ultrasonic generating unit includes an ultrasonic generator and an ultrasonic transducer. The ultrasonic generator generates a high-frequency electrical signal, which is then converted into mechanical vibration by the ultrasonic transducer, thereby generating a cavitation effect in the liquid and cleaning the surface of the ship.
[0050] The slide rail assembly 5 has a suction cup 6, and the sliding assembly 4 is slidably mounted on the slide rail assembly 5. Specifically, the suction cup 6 can adsorb the slide rail assembly 5 onto the surface of the hull, achieving a reliable fixing effect. The sliding assembly 4 is slidably mounted between itself and the slide rail assembly 5, wherein the sliding assembly 4 is disposed on the support part 2, so that the support part 2 and the slide rail assembly 5 are slidably mounted, ensuring that the device moves along the slide rail assembly 5 during propulsion.
[0051] In use, the marine stabilization cleaning device of the present invention is pushed to the surface of the hull to be cleaned using a power system, and then the slide rail assembly 5 unfolds the slide rail 7. After the slide rail 7 is unfolded, it is adsorbed onto the hull surface by suction cups 6. Through the sliding connection between the sliding assembly 4 and the slide rail assembly 5, the slide rail assembly 5 is connected and supported while allowing relative sliding between the two. At this time, after the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 on the device support 2 has finished cleaning the current position, the device power pushes the device to move along the direction of the slide rail 7 to the next position to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the hull surface at the current position. The above process is repeated until the end position of the slide rail 7 is reached. After cleaning is completed, the slide rail assembly 5 is retracted to the lower end of the support 2, completing the cleaning work of the entire area.
[0052] In embodiments of the present invention, guide rails 7 are formed by the relative movement of slide rail assemblies 5. Sliding components 4 provide reliable support and sliding between the slide rails 7 and the support portion 2 of the device body. The slide rail assemblies 5, through multiple suction cups 6, constitute a rigid and stable "scaffolding" type working platform, ensuring a constant working distance and angle between the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 and the hull surface, guaranteeing uniformity and thoroughness of the cleaning effect. The slide rails 7 guide the cleaning process, preventing frequent movement of the submarine body 1 and improving operational efficiency. The interaction and fixation between multiple slide rails 7 ensure that even if a single suction cup 6 fails unexpectedly, the remaining suction cups 6 can still provide sufficient suction force, preventing the risk of falling. This provides high reliability and strong resistance to water flow interference.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, the suction cup 6 mounted on the slide rail assembly 5 is a vacuum suction cup 6. Specifically, the vacuum suction cup 6 has a connecting part 601, a connecting plate 602, and a conical rubber cup 603. The connecting plate 602 is mounted on the lower end of the connecting part 601, and the lower end of the connecting plate 602 is connected to the rubber cup 603, forming an adsorption space inside the rubber cup 603. The connecting part 601 is mounted on the lower end of the slide rail 7.
[0054] Two suction tube structures connected to the connecting plate 602 are communicated with the adsorption space inside the rubber cup 603, and are respectively connected to a vacuum pump and a water pump. The suction tube structures on multiple vacuum suction cups 6 can be connected to a vacuum pump and a water pump. The vacuum pump and water pump are mounted on the support part 2 and are used to adsorb water and air inside the rubber cup 603 during the adsorption process of the vacuum suction cup 6, ensuring the reliability of the vacuum suction cup 6 in adsorption within the hull. In this embodiment of the invention, the vacuum suction cup 6 is adsorbed by a vacuum pump and a water pump to ensure the reliability of the vacuum suction cup 6 during the adsorption process.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown, the slide rail assembly 5 also includes multiple slide rails 7. The multiple slide rails 7 are arranged parallel to each other on the lower side of the submarine body 1. Each slide rail 7 is slidably mounted on its adjacent slide rail 7 in the front-to-back direction. Specifically, the multiple slide rails 7 extend in the front-to-back direction, and two adjacent slide rails 7 are slidably mounted relative to each other. At least one end of each slide rail 7 is provided with a suction cup 6. The sliding assembly 4 is configured to slide on the unfolded slide rails 7. Specifically, the sliding assembly 4 moves relative to the slide rails 7 in the longitudinal direction, while simultaneously providing support for the multiple slide rails 7.
[0056] In the embodiments of the present invention, the relative sliding connection between the slide rails 7 is used to achieve the effect of unfolding, saving space and increasing the extension range, which greatly expands the working radius after the device is positioned, and further reduces the time of frequent positioning of the device.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3-6 As shown, the sliding component 4 includes: a plurality of first sliding parts 8, a plurality of first driving parts 10, a plurality of second sliding parts 9, and a plurality of second driving parts.
[0058] Multiple first sliding parts 8 are movably disposed on the support part 2 in the lateral direction. Each first sliding part 8 is configured to slide and engage with one side of each slide rail 7. The multiple first sliding parts 8 are arranged sequentially in the front-back direction. Specifically, the first sliding part 8 can reciprocate in the lateral direction to adjust its engagement with the slide rail 7 at different positions. After moving to the slide rail 7 at the corresponding position, a relative movement in the longitudinal direction can occur between the sliding part and the slide rail 7.
[0059] Multiple first drive units 10 are mounted on the support unit 2 and configured to drive the first sliding unit 8 to move in the lateral direction. Specifically, the first drive unit 10 provides power input to the first sliding unit 8 in the lateral direction.
[0060] Multiple second sliding parts 9 are movably disposed on the support part 2 in the lateral direction. Each second sliding part 9 is configured to slide into contact with the other side of each slide rail 7. The multiple second sliding parts 9 are arranged sequentially in the front-back direction. A first sliding part 8 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each second sliding part 9. Specifically, the second sliding parts 9 are arranged in the same manner as the first sliding parts 8 described above, with the second sliding parts 9 and the first sliding parts 8 stacked on both sides of the slide rail 7. The two sliding parts cooperate to clamp the left and right sides of the slide rail 7.
[0061] Multiple second drive units are mounted on the support unit 2 and configured to drive the second sliding unit 9 to move in the lateral direction. Specifically, the second drive units provide power input to the second sliding unit 9 in the lateral direction.
[0062] The marine stabilizing and cleaning device of the present invention is described using four slide rails 7 as an example, which, from left to right, are the first slide rail 701, the second slide rail 702, the third slide rail 703, and the fourth slide rail 704; and three first sliding parts 8 and three second sliding parts 9 as examples. In the initial position, the multiple slide rails 7 are arranged in parallel at the lower end of the support part 2. The first sliding parts 8 and second sliding parts 9 on both sides clamp the four parallel slide rails 7 and simultaneously serve as connecting supports. When the four sets of slide rails 7 need to extend forward, the first slide rail 701 on the left moves forward. During this movement, the multiple first sliding parts 8 on the left slide rail 701 slide relative to the first slide rail 701 on the left. The first sliding part 8 at the rear end of the left slide rail 702 abuts against the left end of the second slide rail 702 under the action of the first driving part 10, providing support. As the first slide rail 701 moves forward, the three first sliding parts 8 on the left abut against the left end of the second slide rail 702 in sequence, at which point the first slide rail 701 moves forward to its current position. Then, the second slide rail 702 moves forward, and the above process is repeated, extending the second slide rail 702 and the third slide rail 703 forward in sequence to form a forward-expanding slide rail assembly 7. After the corresponding slide rail 7 is moved to the corresponding position, it is fixed to the hull surface by suction cup 6. At this time, the three first sliding parts 8 on the left side abut against the left end of the fourth slide rail 704, completing the laying of the entire slide rail assembly 5.
[0063] Then, the device cleans at the current position. After cleaning at the current position is completed, the device body moves forward using its power. During the movement to the next cleaning station, the first sliding part 8 at the front left side moves to the position where it abuts against the left side of the third slide rail 703. Meanwhile, the first sliding part 9 at the front right side moves to the left until it abuts against the right side of the third slide rail 703, thus clamping and supporting the third slide rail 703. As the device body continues to move, the three first sliding parts 8 on the left side abut against the left end of the third slide rail 703, and the three second sliding parts 9 on the left side abut against the right end of the third slide rail 703. Simultaneously, the device body moves to the cleaning station where the third slide rail 703 is located, completing the cleaning work on the hull surface at the current position. This process continues until the device moves to the position of the first slide rail 701 for cleaning, at which point the first sliding parts 8 and second sliding parts 9 clamp onto both sides of the first slide rail 701.
[0064] Next, slide rail 7 needs to be retracted. The fourth slide rail 704, third slide rail 703, and second slide rail 702 are then retracted to the position of the first slide rail 701. First, the suction cup 6 at the lower end of the fourth slide rail 704 is disabled, driving the fourth slide rail 704 to retract to the position of the third slide rail 703. Then, in the same manner, the fourth slide rail 704, third slide rail 703, and second slide rail 702 are retracted to the position of the first slide rail 701. After retraction, the four slide rails 7 are arranged sequentially, with the first sliding part 8 and the second sliding part 9 on both sides clamping them from the left and right sides respectively. The suction cup 6 at the bottom reliably adheres to the current position, facilitating the laying out of the next cleaning area.
[0065] In this embodiment of the invention, the sliding rails 7 are sequentially unfolded to form a stable and reliable sliding rail 7 platform. The sliding parts on both sides reliably and effectively clamp the device during the sliding process, ensuring stability during the movement.
[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first sliding part 8 and the second sliding part 9 have the same structure, both being sliders 12. Each slide rail 7 has grooves 13 on both sides that mate with the sliders 12. In this embodiment, the grooves 13 and sliders 12 are configured such that the first sliding part 8 and the second sliding part 9 reliably fit into the slide rail 7, serving both to support the slide rail 7 and to clamp it. The grooves 13 and slide rail 7 are easy and simple to manufacture.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the slide rail assembly 5 further includes a plurality of sequentially nested support cylinders, the slide rail assembly 5 being configured to slide on the unfolded support cylinders. Slide grooves 13 are provided on both sides of the support cylinders. The first sliding part 8 and the second sliding part 9 have identical structures, both being sliders 12. In this embodiment, the structural arrangement of the cylinders can concentrate the interaction between them on a single axis, preventing offset and making the relative movement between the slide rail assembly 5 and the sliding parts more stable, resulting in more stable support.
[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first sliding part 8 is a slider 12, and the corresponding side of the slide rail 7 is a groove 13. The second sliding part 9 is a groove 13, and the corresponding side of the slide rail 7 is a protrusion 14. Specifically, the arrangement of the slider 12 and the groove 13 in the first sliding part 8 and the second sliding part 9 serves to provide support and clamping, and the combination of the two can be switched according to the actual situation.
[0069] The protrusion 14 on slide rail 7 inserts into the groove 20 on the corresponding slide rail 7, so that each slide rail 7 is slidably mounted on its adjacent slide rail 7 in the front-to-back direction. Specifically, the engagement between the two slide rails 7 can be linked with the sliding part. The bottom of the groove 20 on slide rail 7 is provided with a first T-shaped groove 15, and the rear end of the protrusion 14 on the corresponding slide rail 7 is provided with a first T-shaped block 16 that engages with the first T-shaped groove 15. In this embodiment, the T-shaped structure can prevent two adjacent slide rails 7 from disengaging.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first sliding part 8 and the second sliding part 9 are each provided with a trapezoidal block 23 with a trapezoidal cross-section. The lower end of the support part 2 is provided with a trapezoidal groove 24 that mates with the trapezoidal block 23, so that the first sliding part 8 and the second sliding part 9 can only move in the lateral direction. In this embodiment, the mating structure of the trapezoidal groove 24 and the trapezoidal block 23 is reliable and simple to manufacture.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, both the first drive unit 10 and the second drive unit are electric actuators, used to achieve lateral drive of the first sliding unit 8 and the second sliding unit 9. The electric actuators are easy to implement, low in cost, and provide precise control.
[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, a row of rollers may be provided in the first T-groove 15 on one side of the slide rail 7 and on the protrusion 14 on the other side, so that the longitudinal relative sliding between adjacent slide rails 7, the slide rail 7 and the first sliding part 8, and the second sliding part 9 is easier to perform.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, a limit switch can be provided at the end of each slide rail 7. During the retraction of the slide rail 7, the limit switch interacts with the sliding part to determine when the slide rail 7 is about to contact the first sliding part, and immediately triggers the corresponding electric push rod to retract the first sliding part 8 or the second sliding part 9 connected to it. The setting of the limit switch in this embodiment makes the device more automated and intelligent.
[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, in each pair of adjacent sliding rails 7, the front end of the sliding rail 7 with the groove 20 is provided with a drive motor 17, and the drive motor 17 is connected to a gear 18. The corresponding other sliding rail 7 is provided with a rack 19, and the gear 18 meshes with the rack 19. In this example, the drive deployment structure of rack 19 and gear 18 is adopted, which makes the deployment process more reliable and the deployment position more accurate.
[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 As shown, each slide rail 7 is a telescopic slide rail 7, including an outer cylinder 71 and an inner rail 73.
[0076] A protrusion 14 is provided on one side of the outer cylinder 71, and a rack 19 is provided on the same side. A groove 13 is provided on the other side of the outer cylinder 71, and a strip-shaped through hole 72 is opened at the bottom of the groove 13. An inner rail 73 is telescopically mounted on the outer cylinder 71, and the inner rail 73 is configured to conform to the outer cylinder 71. A first T-slot 15 is provided on the inner rail 73, and the first T-slot 15 is correspondingly provided with the strip-shaped through hole 72. In this example, by setting a telescopic rail 7 structure, the length of the rail 7 can be further increased, and the cleaning range can be improved.
[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, an electric push rod is installed inside the outer cylinder 71, and the output end of the electric push rod is connected to the inner rail 73 to push the inner rail 73 to move forward, thereby achieving controllable extension and retraction.
[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lower surface of the support 2 has a through groove 20 extending from front to back, and an anti-fall door 21 is installed at the front end of the groove 20. The slide rail assembly 5 is disposed within the groove 20. In this embodiment, the groove 20 serves to install the slide rail assembly 5, and the anti-fall door 21 is located at the front end of the groove 20. When not in use, it blocks the groove 20 and the sliding assembly 4 to prevent it from falling. When in use, the anti-fall door 21 is raised.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, the marine stabilizing and cleaning device further includes a connecting cable. One end of the connecting cable is connected to the slide rail assembly 5, and the other end is disposed inside the submarine body 1. A winding mechanism is provided inside the submarine body 1 to control the length of the connecting cable extending out of the submarine body 1 according to the position of the submarine body 1 relative to the slide rail assembly 5. In this embodiment, a winding mechanism is used to electrically connect the slide rail assembly 5 to prevent the cables from tangling during retraction, which would affect subsequent use.
[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, the winding mechanism may be a mechanical winding reel, which slowly pulls out the cable when needed and slowly rotates it back when needed.
[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, each suction cup 6 is hinged to three telescopic rods 22, the other ends of which are fixedly connected to the corresponding slide rail assembly 5. In this embodiment, the three telescopic structures not only ensure reliable support for the vacuum suction cup 6 during installation, but also allow each suction cup 6 to actively adapt to the curvature and unevenness of the hull surface, ensuring effective adsorption even in areas where the hull shape changes.
[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrical connection structures of the electric push rod, cable, drive motor 17, etc. in this device are waterproofed to prevent losses caused by leakage.
[0083] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although numerous exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the scope of the present invention should be understood and construed as covering all such other variations or modifications.
