[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The utility model provides an embodiment: an underwater cleaning device for adaptive ship wall, comprising a connecting plate 1, a cleaning mechanism connecting plate 5 and a plurality of pins 8. The cleaning mechanism connecting plate 5 is a direct carrier of the cleaning mechanism, connected to the hinge seat 2 through the pin 8, and can rotate within a limited range to adapt to the changes of the ship wall. The basic frame of the entire device is used to fix the cleaning device on the underwater robot. The left and right sides of the connecting plate 1 are fixedly connected with the hinge seat 2, and the bottom and left and right sides of the connecting plate 1 are provided with threaded holes connected to the underwater robot, which can achieve a stable connection with the underwater robot. The top of the hinge seat 2 is provided with a screw hole connected to the connecting plate 1, which is used to achieve a fixed connection with the connecting plate and provide a rotation support for the cleaning mechanism. The left and right sides of the connecting plate 1 are fixedly connected with a connecting block 3, which is used to connect the telescopic rod 4, thereby supporting the work of the cleaning mechanism. The left and right ends of the cleaning mechanism connecting plate 5 are provided with pin holes 15 connected to the hinge seat 2.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The bottom of the connecting block 3 is rotatably connected to a telescopic rod 4 for adjusting the angle. By adjusting the angle and length of the telescopic rod 4, the position and angle of the cleaning mechanism can be adjusted to adapt to different parts of the ship wall. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 4 is rotatably connected to one of the fisheye joints 10, and the bottom side of one of the fisheye joints 10 is fixedly connected to an adjustment component for adjusting the length, and the bottom side of the adjustment component is fixedly connected to another fisheye joint 10. The adjustment component includes a connecting tube 13, and the top side of the connecting tube 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of one of the fisheye joints 10 to provide support for one of the fisheye joints 10. The bottom side of the other one is fixedly connected to the top side of the other fisheye joint 10. The bottom side of the connecting tube 13 is fixedly connected to one of the locking nuts 14, and the bottom of the guide rod 12 is fixedly connected to another locking nut 14, which is convenient for adjusting the distance between the two fisheye joints 10. The internal thread of the connecting tube 13 is connected to the guide tube 11, and the inner wall of the guide tube 11 is slidably connected to the guide rod 12 to limit the movement of the guide rod 12;

[0026] The external thread of the guide rod 12 is connected with another locking nut 14, and the bottom side of the other locking nut 14 is fixedly connected with another connecting tube 13. The left and right ends of the bottom of the hinged seat 2 are connected with the adjacent ends of the two cleaning mechanism connecting plates 5 through two of the two pin shafts 8, so that the cleaning mechanism connecting plates 5 can rotate. The far ends of the two cleaning mechanism connecting plates 5 are fixedly connected with a pin shaft 7, and the external rotation connection of the pin shaft 7 is connected with a limit block 6, which is used to limit the movement range of the cleaning mechanism and protect the cleaning mechanism from damage. The bottom side of the limit block 6 is fixedly connected with a cleaning mechanism 9, which is the core component directly responsible for the cleaning work. By swinging around the pin shaft 7, efficient cleaning of the ship wall is achieved. The far ends of the two cleaning mechanism connecting plates 5 are connected with the other two fisheye joints 10 through the other two pin shafts 8, which provide the ability to fine-tune the position of the cleaning mechanism, ensuring that the cleaning mechanism can fit the ship wall more accurately and improve the cleaning effect.

[0027] Working principle: After the cleaning device is installed on the underwater robot, the cleaning mechanism connecting plate 5 can rotate around the pin 2 8 within a certain angle range, and the cleaning mechanism 9 can also swing around the pin 1 7 within a certain angle range. This design enables the cleaning mechanism to be adaptively adjusted according to the actual shape and state of the ship wall. The travel of the telescopic rod 4 further limits the rotation angle range of the cleaning mechanism mounting plate, and the limit block 6 controls the up and down floating range and swing range of the cleaning mechanism to ensure the stability and safety of the cleaning process.

[0028] In addition, by adjusting the length and angle of the telescopic rod 4 and fine-tuning with the adjustment component, the height and angle of the cleaning mechanism 9 can be accurately controlled to achieve perfect fit with the ship wall. Such a design not only improves the cleaning efficiency, but also ensures that the cleaning process does not cause damage to the ship wall.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
