Abstract

The application discloses a ship underwater cleaning and recycling integrated robot and a working method thereof. The cleaning robot body is arranged on a ship wall surface and comprises a magnetic wheel walking mechanism, a propeller set, a cavitation jet cleaning disc and a recycling channel system. The robot combines a negative pressure system and a permanent magnet adsorption technology, can stably adhere to a complex curvature ship surface and realizes efficient stripping of adherents by using a cavitation jet cleaning device. Meanwhile, the recycling pump set and the recycling channel system are provided, waste liquid and debris generated in the cleaning process can be recycled in real time, secondary pollution problems are avoided, and a pollution closed-loop recycling system is constructed. The robot freely moves on the ship surface by controlling the propeller in multiple directions, and is suitable for various complex shapes. The system realizes integrated cleaning and environmental protection treatment by intelligent path planning and real-time feedback, and has high environmental protection, intelligent level and working efficiency.
