Among them, two first cameras 15 are symmetrically arranged at the front end of the robot 10 along the forward direction, and two second cameras 16 are symmetrically arranged at the rear end of the robot 10 along the forward direction. The first camera 15 and the second camera 16 cooperate with each other to capture underwater images and transmit the underwater images to the control device 2 for data processing. Subsequently, the underwater images of different orientations of the robot 10 are displayed through the display device 3, facilitating the staff to intuitively view the working environment of the surface to be cleaned, so as to control the robot 10 to clean the surface to be cleaned through the operating device 1.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, the display device 3 includes a main screen 6 and two sub-screens 7. Among them, the two sub-screens 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main screen 6. The main screen 6 is communicatively connected to the two first cameras 15 to display the fused main picture, and the two sub-screens 7 are respectively communicatively connected to the two second cameras 16 to display two sub-pictures. Here, the two first cameras 15 respectively transmit the captured underwater pictures to the control device 2 for data processing to fuse the two underwater pictures captured by the two first cameras 15 into a main picture.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, the robot 10 further includes a device body 32 and a crawler 33. Among them, the crawler 33 is respectively rotatably arranged on the wheels on both sides of the device body 32 along the forward direction. The wheels are driven by a motor to rotate, and then the crawler 33 is driven to rotate to drive the robot 10 to walk along the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning part 17 is swingably arranged at the front end of the device body 32 along the forward direction to clean the surface to be cleaned through the cleaning part 17.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5, the cleaning member 17 includes two symmetrically arranged cleaning disks 18. A jet injector 19 is rotatably connected to the middle of each cleaning disk 18, and each jet injector 19 is respectively connected to a shunt pipe 30. Among them, the side of the cleaning member 17 away from the surface to be cleaned is swingably connected to the middle of the equipment body 32 through a swing structure 20, and the two cleaning disks 18 are respectively located on both sides of the swing structure 20. The water inlet ends of the two jet injectors 19 respectively penetrate through the two cleaning disks 18, and the water inlet ends of the two jet injectors 19 are respectively connected to the first water outlet 28 and the second water outlet 29 on the shunt 26 through the shunt pipes 30. The water outlet end of the jet injector 19 is rotatably connected to the water inlet end, and the water outlet end is located inside the cleaning disk 18. In this embodiment, the water outlet end of the jet injector 19 is three nozzles. When the cleaning member 17 works, the three nozzles rotate simultaneously and spray high-pressure water columns towards the surface to be cleaned, and the three high-pressure water columns wash the attachments on the surface to be cleaned, which can improve the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the surface to be cleaned.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the cleaning member 17 further includes a limiting portion 21 for abutting against the surface to be cleaned. The limiting portion 21 is fixed between the two cleaning disks 18, and the limiting portion 21 is located at the front end in the forward direction. Specifically, the limiting portion 21 includes an abutting block 22, a movable connecting portion 23, and a cooperating portion 24. Among them, one end of the movable connecting portion 23 and one end of the cooperating portion 24 are respectively fixedly connected to the abutting block 22. The other end of the movable connecting portion 23 is movably limited on the cleaning disk 18 and can abut against the cleaning disk 18 to prevent the limiting portion 21 from detaching from the cleaning disk 18. The other end of the cooperating portion 24 is slidably connected to the cleaning disk 18, and there are two cooperating portions 24, and the two cooperating portions 24 are respectively located on both sides of the movable connecting portion 23.

The two ends of the abutting surface 25 in the forward direction are respectively bent towards the direction away from the surface to be cleaned. When the cleaning member 17 works, the abutting surface 25 abuts against the surface to be cleaned to prevent the jet injector 19 from scratching the surface to be cleaned when rotating, resulting in damage to the jet injector 19. Since the cleaning member 17 is swingably arranged, the two ends of the abutting surface 25 in the forward direction are respectively bent towards the direction away from the surface to be cleaned, so that the abutting surface 25 can rotate with the swing of the cleaning member 17 and will not affect the normal operation of the cleaning member 17.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the cable assembly 9 includes a frame body 11 and a cable body 12. One end of the cable body 12 is rotatably connected to the frame body 11 and is respectively connected to an external water source and a power source, and the other end of the cable body 12 is connected to the robot 10. Specifically, the cable body 12 includes a water pipe 14 and an electric circuit pipe 13. The water pipe 14 is respectively communicated with the external water source and the water inlet 27 of the diverter 26, and the electric circuit pipe 13 is electrically connected to the external power source and the electric circuit connector 31 respectively. Therefore, water supply and power supply for the cleaning operation of the robot 10 can be achieved through one cable body 12, without the robot 10 being respectively connected to the water source and the power source, simplifying the pipeline arrangement of the underwater cleaning system.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the robot 10 further includes a buoyancy member 34 and a power member 35. Among them, the buoyancy member 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the equipment body 32; the power member 35 includes a longitudinal thruster 36, a horizontal thruster 37 and a mounting frame 38 fixed to the top of the equipment body 32.
