Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of marine ships, and specifically relates to a novel composite underwater hull cleaning robot based on cavitation jet technology and mechanical cleaning technology. Background Art
[0002] After a long period of operation in the ocean, ships will face problems such as microorganisms (barnacles, algae, seaweed, etc.) attached to the hull and rust, which will cause material aging, increase navigation resistance and increase cost and energy consumption. Currently, the two main cleaning methods on the market are mechanical cleaning and high-pressure water flow cleaning. The mechanical cleaning method mainly uses hard metal tools to clean the attachments on the surface of the hull by cutting. In addition, due to the structural characteristics of the attachments themselves, some high-efficiency freezing devices (liquid nitrogen spraying) and ultrasonic vibration devices are also equipped to improve the cleaning efficiency; while the high-pressure water flow cleaning uses the high-energy water pressure generated by the high-pressure water gun to spray and clean the attachments on the surface of the hull. The above two cleaning methods have their own advantages, but their disadvantages are also very obvious. Whether it is mechanical cutting cleaning or high-pressure water flow spraying cleaning, while cleaning the attachments, it will cause irreversible damage or even destruction to the surface of the hull, and the cleaning efficiency of a single cleaning method is low. The use of high-efficiency freezing devices and ultrasonic vibration devices for auxiliary cleaning will also greatly increase the cost of cleaning. The relevant freezing technology may have problems such as environmental pollution and low freezing efficiency. The maintenance and repair costs of ultrasonic vibration equipment are increased, and the safety of personnel when using the equipment will also be compromised. In addition, the above cleaning methods are mostly suitable for land cleaning and have great limitations when cleaning underwater.
[0003] In view of the above problems, the utility model updates the mechanical cleaning method and the high-pressure water flow cleaning method, and proposes an underwater hull cleaning method that combines the roller cleaning method with the cavitation jet cleaning method. The roller cleaning method uses dry ice freezing technology, which is pollution-free and environmentally friendly; the cavitation jet cleaning method uses cavitation bubbles as the main body to replace high-pressure water flow, which can effectively clean while minimizing damage to the hull. The combination of the two ensures efficient, environmentally friendly and non-damaging cleaning. Summary of the invention
