[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, the wastewater pool wall moss cleaning robot of the present invention includes: Mobile platform 1 is used to carry various functional components; The propulsion system includes a walking mechanism and a hydraulic drive assembly. The walking mechanism provides the main power for the robot to move along the wall of the structure. The hydraulic drive assembly includes a housing 6, a first rotating shaft 8, a paddle, and a second servo motor 10. The paddle is disposed inside the housing 6. One end of the first rotating shaft 8 is connected to the paddle (not shown), and the other end is connected to the output shaft 11 of the second servo motor 10. The housing 6 is provided with an inlet 600 and an outlet 601, and the water outlet direction is opposite to the robot's direction of travel. When the paddle rotates, a pressure difference is formed inside the housing 6. Sewage in the pool is drawn in from the inlet of the housing 6 and ejected at high speed from the outlet. The reaction force of the sewage generates an auxiliary propulsion force in the same direction as the robot's movement. This thrust can significantly increase the positive pressure of the drive wheel 2 on the pool wall, thereby effectively preventing wheel slippage and ensuring the reliability and continuity of movement.

[0023] A cleaning module is installed on the mobile platform 1. It includes an upper edge cleaning unit, an outer wall cleaning unit, and an inner wall cleaning unit. The upper edge cleaning unit and the outer wall cleaning unit are installed on one side of the mobile platform 1 to clean the upper edge and the outer wall, respectively. The inner wall cleaning unit is installed on the other side of the mobile platform 1 and is used to clean the inner wall.

[0024] In the above structure, the three-way synchronous cleaning of the cleaning module reduces the traditional three round trips to one, greatly shortening the cleaning time of a single weir and improving efficiency; and the dual-power propulsion design of the walking mechanism and the hydraulic drive component enables the robot to crawl stably on slippery slopes, covering the overflow weir inclination angle of all common sewage pools.

[0025] The walking mechanism includes a drive wheel 2 that rolls with the wall of the structure and a rotary drive unit that drives the drive wheel 2 to rotate. The rotary drive unit includes a reducer 3 and a first servo motor 4. The first servo motor 4 is coaxially fixed to the drive wheel 2 via the reducer 3, and the torque of the first servo motor 4 is directly transmitted to the drive wheel 2 to achieve wheeled movement.

[0026] The mobile platform 1 serves as the main frame of the robot, with four drive wheels 2 at its bottom. The drive wheels 2 are connected to the first servo motor 4 via a reducer 3, forming the robot's main walking system, used to move on both sides of the overflow weir of the secondary sedimentation tank.

[0027] Furthermore, the bottom sides of the mobile platform 1 are also equipped with guide wheel sets 5 that roll in cooperation with the upper edge of the structure. The guide wheel sets 5 and the drive wheels 2 together form a clamping anti-tipping structure. When the robot is subjected to lateral wind loads or the lateral component of jet backlash, the guide wheel sets 5 and the upper edge rolling pair generate a counter-torque, which has anti-tipping capability, eliminating the need for magnetic adsorption or vacuum suction cups and preventing the concrete surface from cracking due to negative pressure.

[0028] like Figure 7 As shown, the housing 6 includes an inlet pipe 61, a main pipe 62, and an outlet pipe 63. The inlet pipe 61 and the outlet pipe 63 are respectively connected by tee connectors 64 at both ends of the main pipe 62. The inlet pipe 61 includes an arc-shaped branch inlet pipe 611 and a main inlet pipe 612. The main inlet pipe 612 is connected to the main pipe 62. The arc-shaped branch inlet pipe 611 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the main inlet pipe 612. The main pipe 62 includes a straight cylinder 621 and a curved cylinder 622, which are fixed by a locking member 623; the blade is disposed inside the straight cylinder 621, one end of the first rotating shaft 8 is connected to the blade, and the other end passes through the curved cylinder 622 and is connected to the second servo motor 10. The water outlet pipe 63 includes a branch pipe 631 and arc-shaped branch water outlet pipes 632 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the branch pipe 631.

[0029] The above-mentioned three-way design realizes the integration of water intake, pressurization and diversion. The symmetrical layout of the arc-shaped branch pipe 612 ensures that the resultant force of the recoil force is strictly directed in the direction of the robot's movement, avoiding the generation of lateral torque that causes yaw. The main pipe 62 adopts a segmented locking structure of straight cylinder 621 and curved cylinder 622, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the blades without disassembling the entire hydraulic drive assembly.

[0030] Preferably, the arc-shaped branch inlet pipe 612, the curved cylinder 321, and the arc-shaped branch outlet pipe 632 are all curved pipes with gradually changing inner diameters, and the inner and outer arcs of the curved pipes are both formulated according to a second-order polynomial. Perform a gradual reduction; Where x is the axial coordinate, y is the radial coordinate, a is the curvature control term, b is the slope control term, and c is the reference displacement term.

[0031] In practical applications, such as Figure 8 As shown, the fitting polynomial for segment BC of the arc-shaped branch inlet pipe is set as follows: y = 0.0055 x 2 + 0.3412x + 60; Key point coordinates in segment BC: (0.00, 60.00), (85.00, 129.00), (170.00, 278.00), (84.57, 128.45) The fitting polynomial for segment DA is: y = 0.0041 x 2 -0.1511x; Key point coordinates in segment DA: (278.00, 278.00), (139.00, 59.00), (0.00, 0.00), (209.55, 150.16) Key point coordinates in segment DA: (278.00, 278.00), (139.00, 59.00), (0.00, 0.00), (209.55, 150.16) like Figure 9 As shown, the fitting polynomial for segment AB of the curved cylinder 622 is: y = -0.0125x 2 - 0.5x + 15; The fitting polynomial for segment CD is: y = -0.0097x 2 - 0.2222x + 119.4444; The coordinates of the points in segment AB are: (20.00, 0.00), (0.00, 15.00), (-20.00, 20.00). Key points in segment CD: (-20.00, 120.00), (40.00, 95.00), (100.00, 0.00) like Figure 10 As shown, the fitting polynomial for segment AB is: y = 0.0095x 2 + 0.0154x; The fitting polynomial for segment CD is: y = 0.032x 2 - 0.56x + 50; Key points in segment AB: (0.00, 0.00), (-65.00, 39.00), (-130.00, 158.00) Key points in segment CD: (-50.00, 158.00), (-25.00, 84.00), (0.00, 50.00).

[0032] By designing the arc-shaped branch inlet pipe 612, the curved cylinder 622, and the arc-shaped branch outlet pipe 632, the flow velocity of the inlet, middle, and outlet sections of the shell 6 is increased. This allows the kinetic energy to be concentrated in the water jet under the same power consumption, significantly enhancing the jet shear stress and greatly improving the biofilm stripping efficiency. This results in a more thorough removal of dense, aged biofilm in a single pass and an effective expansion of the flushing range.

[0033] Furthermore, the upper edge cleaning unit is mounted on the mobile platform 1 via a lifting mechanism, and its position can be adjusted according to the specific height of the upper edge of the overflow weir. The upper edge cleaning unit includes an upper edge cleaning brush 12, a second rotating shaft 13, a first coupling 14, and a third servo motor 15. The second rotating shaft 13 is connected to the third servo motor 15 via the first coupling 14, and the upper edge cleaning brush 12 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 13. The lifting mechanism allows the upper edge cleaning unit to automatically adjust its position according to changes in the overflow weir height, maintaining a stable fit between the upper edge cleaning brush 12 and the weir crest, preventing cleaning dead zones due to poor contact, and avoiding excessive pressure that could cause the drive wheel 2 to slip or the bristles to wear out too quickly, thus improving cleaning consistency and extending equipment lifespan.

[0034] It should be noted that the lifting mechanism is existing technology and belongs to the height adjustment means known in the field. This application only borrows its conventional function and does not make any improvement to the structure itself.

[0035] Preferably, the outer wall cleaning unit includes an outer wall cleaning brush 16, a first bracket 17, a third rotating shaft 18, a second coupling 19, and a fourth servo motor 20. The first bracket 17 is fixedly mounted on the moving platform 1. The two ends of the third rotating shaft 18 are respectively connected to the first bracket 17 through rotating support seats, and the third rotating shaft 18 is connected to the drive shaft of the fourth servo motor 20 through the second coupling 19. The outer wall cleaning brush 16 is mounted on the third rotating shaft 18. The first bracket 17 is an elastic swing arm structure with a built-in spring, which allows the outer wall cleaning brush 16 to adaptively conform to the curved surface of the overflow weir outer wall.

[0036] Preferably, the inner wall cleaning unit includes an inner wall cleaning brush 21, a second bracket 22, a fourth rotating shaft 23, a third coupling 24, and a fifth servo motor 25. The second bracket 22 is mounted on the mobile platform 1. The two ends of the fourth rotating shaft 23 are respectively connected to the second bracket 22 through rotating support seats. The fourth rotating shaft 23 is connected to the fifth servo motor 25 through the third coupling 24. The inner wall cleaning brush 21 is mounted on the fourth rotating shaft 23.

[0037] Furthermore, both the outer and inner wall cleaning units include pressure sensors to monitor the contact pressure with the wall surface in real time. The pressure sensors can sense the contact pressure between the brush and the wall surface in real time. This design avoids incomplete cleaning due to insufficient pressure, and also prevents excessive wear of the brush or damage to the equipment due to excessive pressure, thus extending the equipment's service life while ensuring efficient cleaning.

[0038] Furthermore, a filter screen 7 is provided at the water inlet 600 of the housing 6. The filter screen 7 prevents fibers and plastic bag fragments from entering the housing 6 and becoming entangled in the blades. When maintenance is required, the filter screen 7 can be completely removed for flushing or replacement.

[0039] This embodiment also includes a control system, which is signal-connected to the walking mechanism, the hydraulic drive component, the upper edge cleaning unit, the outer wall cleaning unit, and the inner wall cleaning unit. The control system is used to adjust the moving speed of the walking mechanism and the start and stop of the hydraulic drive component and each cleaning unit in real time according to the feedback signal.

[0040] In this embodiment, the mobile platform 1 is made of corrosion-resistant materials, and key components such as the drive motors of the cleaning module all adopt waterproof and sealed structures, ensuring that the robot can work stably for a long time in harsh sewage environments. At the same time, the brushes of the cleaning module adopt a quick-disassembly structure, which greatly facilitates daily maintenance and replacement work and reduces the long-term operation and maintenance costs of the equipment.

[0041] Based on the above structure, the wastewater pool wall moss cleaning robot is placed behind the overflow weir. The walking mechanism provides the main walking power, and the hydraulic drive component draws water and sprays it in the opposite direction to generate additional thrust, simultaneously increasing the wheel-wall positive pressure to prevent slippage. The upper edge cleaning unit is height-adjusted to maintain constant contact with the weir top, and the outer wall cleaning unit and inner wall cleaning unit are in real time. The three-way brush sweeps and peels off the biofilm in one go. The filter screen intercepts debris and self-cleans. The control system uniformly dispatches each servo motor to complete constant speed walking, and the hydraulic drive component assists walking and brushing simultaneously, realizing efficient full-section cleaning without human intervention.

[0042] This application also discloses a wastewater pond wall moss cleaning system, including a robot with the aforementioned structure and a remote control device for communicating with the robot. The remote control device sends movement and cleaning commands to the robot via a wireless link and receives real-time information from the robot regarding its position, pressure, and operating status, enabling remote monitoring and unmanned operation of the biofilm on the wastewater pond walls. In use, only a wireless transceiver module needs to be installed on the robot to connect with the existing SCADA system in the wastewater treatment plant's central monitoring room or a mobile terminal APP. No wiring is required below the pond. The remote control device can be started / stopped with a single button, its path modified, and its brush pressure and power consumption monitored. In case of a fault, it automatically returns to its original position, achieving a safe, unmanned, remotely monitored operation mode, significantly reducing the risk of human exposure and maintenance costs.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom remain under the protection of this invention.
