[0065] Optionally, clamp 32 is simultaneously fitted on the outside of the liquid supply pipe 6, the suction pipe 8, and the hydraulic pipe 7, which serves to limit the liquid supply pipe 6, the suction pipe 8, and the hydraulic pipe 7, prevent the connection nodes of the liquid supply pipe 6, the suction pipe 8, and the hydraulic pipe 7 from being dislodged by force, and can also prevent the liquid supply pipe 6, the suction pipe 8, and the hydraulic pipe 7 from affecting the overall movement of the tank cleaning explosion-proof robot.

[0066] Optionally, a pair of tensioners 36 are arranged in parallel, and each pair of tensioners 36 is rotatably connected to the mounting component 27 and the clamp 32. Specifically, the mounting component 27 includes a connecting plate 28 and a mounting plate 29. One end of the connecting plate 28 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 29, and the other end is provided with a positioning groove 30.

For example, the central control console 43 is configured to control the operation of the liquid supply device 40, the sludge suction pump 41, and the hydraulic pump station 42 based on the location information of the tank cleaning explosion-proof robot and the thickness information of the sludge at the bottom of the tank in the image information.

[0072] Optionally, the image acquisition device 39 is an explosion-proof camera, installed at the manhole location of the oil storage tank 37. Furthermore, the image acquisition device 39 has night vision capabilities to facilitate nighttime operations. The image acquisition device 39 can acquire real-time image information of the tank's interior and transmit it to the central control console. By viewing the cleaning progress inside the tank in real time, operators can more accurately judge the cleaning progress and effectiveness, thereby adjusting the cleaning strategy accordingly.

[0073] Optionally, the center console 43 is equipped with a display screen, which is adapted to display image information acquired by the image acquisition device 39.

[0074] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
