Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of underwater operation equipment, in particular to an underwater operation robot. Background Art

[0002] During the long-term navigation of ships, the hull surface underwater will be attached with shellfish, rust spots, etc., which seriously affect the navigation speed and service life of the ships, and also increase the fuel consumption. At present, most of the underwater hull cleaning work at home and abroad is still carried out by divers. Using a hull cleaning robot for automatic cleaning can greatly save labor, reduce the labor intensity of divers, and improve the ship repair efficiency. After retrieval, Chinese Patent CN102424100A discloses a composite adsorption hull cleaning robot, including a frame, a cleaning brush, a motor, and a traveling mechanism. The front part of the frame is provided with a cleaning brush and a motor, and the two sides are provided with a traveling mechanism. The characteristics are as follows: the frame also includes a thruster and anti-overturning magnetic wheels. The thruster is installed in the middle of the frame and connected to the motor. The anti-overturning magnetic wheels are installed at the rear of the frame. The traveling mechanism consists of two crawler devices, which are driven by a motor. Magnets are arranged on the outer side of the crawlers. The deficiencies of the above patent are as follows: First, the magnets in the above patent are fixed on the outer side of the crawlers, and the adsorption force on the hull is generated through the magnets. However, when the magnets are fixed on the crawlers, it will cause inconvenience for the crawlers to walk and reduce the moving speed of the robot. Second, marine organisms such as oyster barnacles are often attached to the hull surface. When the robot walks, it will rub against the crawlers, which may cause the magnets to fall off, resulting in the loss of the adsorption force between the robot and the hull. Third, the structure of the above cleaning brush is simple. Some adhesions on the hull surface, such as shellfish, are too hard to be cleaned, and the cleaning is not thorough. Fourth, due to the frequent attachment of marine organisms and seawater corrosion on the underwater hull part, the paint on the hull will fall off. The current paint repair method is to repair the paint in a shipyard or manually dive underwater to repair the hull. The former is costly for small-area paint damage, and the latter has high requirements for underwater operators and is difficult to work underwater for a long time, with low efficiency and difficult to meet the increasing underwater operation requirements.

That is, in the two embodiments, only one in front of the driving wheel 66 is provided with a brush mechanism 43, and one is provided with a scraping knife cleaning mechanism 71. The rest of the structures are the same. Compared with the brush mechanism 43, the scraping knife cleaning mechanism 71 can be used to remove the attachments on the hull surface with strong adhesion and relatively hard. And because a plurality of scraping knives are provided, the scraping knife cleaning area is large. There are two embodiments and two cleaning structures, which can be selected and installed according to the needs;

[0085] A control system can be arranged on the frame 34 of the present utility model. The control system is such as a PLC control system and is connected to the water control platform through a cable, which is convenient for the operator to understand the underwater conditions in real time on the shore. The driving motor 15, the paint extrusion electric push rod 25, the gear transmission motor 38, the magnet rotation motor 48, the brush rotation motor 59, the walking driving motor 68, the walking steering motor 69, and the driven driving motor 70 are all controlled by the control system.

A lifting frame is fixedly arranged on the frame 34 for convenient lifting. The present utility model can be used for cleaning the hull surface and can also perform paint replenishment operations on the hull surface.

[0086] During use, place the present utility model in water. The robot leans against the hull surface by the propulsion of the thruster. The driving plate 47 is rotated by the magnet rotating motor 48. The driving plate 47 drives the first magnet mounting seat 51 and the second magnet mounting seat 52 to swing, and then drives the magnet sheets 45 in the first magnet mounting seat 51 and the second magnet mounting seat 52 to rotate, so that the magnet sheets 45 face the hull surface directly. Through the attraction between the magnet sheets 45 and the hull surface, the robot is adsorbed on the hull surface. Then drive the brush mechanism 43. The brush rotating motor 59 drives the brush holder 57 to rotate, and then drives the cleaning shovel 60 and the brush 58 to rotate to remove the marine organisms adhered to the hull surface. If the shovel cleaning mechanism 71 is installed on the frame 34 as attached Figure 16 , meanwhile, for the shovel cleaning mechanism 71, the shovel driving motor 74 drives the first connecting rod 75 to rotate.

[0087] After the cleaning is completed, start the magnet rotating motor 48. The magnet rotating motor 48 drives the driving plate 47 to rotate. The driving plate 47 drives the first magnet mounting seat 51 and the second magnet mounting seat 52 to swing, and then drives the magnet sheets 45 in the first magnet mounting seat 51 and the second magnet mounting seat 52 to rotate, so that the magnet sheets 45 rotate 90°. The magnet sheets 45 deviate from the hull surface and lose the adsorption force, which will not hinder the robot from walking. At the same time, in the present utility model, the brush is located in front of the walking mechanism to clear the path for the walking mechanism to walk, making it more convenient for the robot to walk and indirectly accelerating the cleaning speed of the robot,

[0088] When the paint on the hull surface peels off and needs to be repainted, the control system drives the walking mechanism 44 to move the paint brushing mechanism 2 to one side of the hull that needs to be repaired with paint, so that the paint bristles of the paint brush component 33 are just on the hull surface to be repaired with paint. The paint bristles contact the hull surface. The control system drives the paint extrusion electric push rod 25 to extend, driving the paint cover 24 to squeeze the paint in the paint bucket 5. The paint enters the brush tube 9 through the oil pipe and then leaks out from the paint outlet holes 8 of the brush tray 10 and drips onto the bristles. The control system simultaneously drives the gear transmission motor 38 or the driving motor 15 to drive the brush tube 9, the adjusting tube 18, and the paint bristles to move back and forth to realize paint brushing. When the brushing is completed, the drive system controls the gear transmission motor 38 or the driving motor 15. The adjusting tube 18 moves to the high section 23 of the slideway through the adjusting slider 19, and the height of the bristles rises to retract the bristles. The walking mechanism 44 drives the paint brushing mechanism 2 to move to the next place that needs to be repainted to continue the repainting operation. There are two types of drives in the paint brushing mechanism 2 of the present utility model. One type is as attached Figures 8 - 10, the gear drive motor 38 drives the drive gear 37 to reciprocate along the rack 36, realizing the reciprocating movement of the brush tube 9 and achieving the paint replenishment operation. Another example is as shown in the appendix Figures 11 - 15 , the drive motor 15 drives the synchronous belt 11 to reciprocate, and the synchronous belt 11 drives the brush tube 9, the adjusting tube 18, and the bristles to reciprocate, realizing the paint brushing. These two methods can be selected according to requirements. For example Figure 15 , all components of the paint brushing mechanism 2 of the present utility model can be installed on the mounting bracket 1 to form a module, and then installed on the frame 34, as shown in the appendix Figure 15 , mounting seats are fixedly arranged on both sides and the bottom of the mounting bracket 1, and mounting holes 33 are provided on the mounting seats. The paint brushing mechanism 2 can be quickly installed on the frame 34 through the mounting holes 33 and screws. The paint brushing mechanism 2 can be installed in the middle of the frame 34 or on the outer edge of the frame 34, and can be installed according to requirements.

The magnet sheet in the present utility model is a tile-shaped magnet with a large area and strong adsorption force. When the frame moves, the magnet rotation motor can drive the magnet sheet to rotate 90°. The magnet sheet is placed inside the frame and will not entangle marine organisms, further protecting the magnet sheet; second, the present utility model not only has a brush, but also a cleaning shovel and a shovel knife, with strong cleaning power, and the brush, the cleaning shovel or the shovel knife are arranged in front of the drive wheel to remove obstacles for the robot to walk, so that the drive wheel is close to the hull surface. The drive wheel is close to the hull surface, reducing the distance between the robot and the hull surface, and can also act on the brush, the cleaning shovel and the shovel knife in the opposite direction, making the brush, the cleaning shovel and the shovel knife contact the hull surface tightly, with a large cleaning area, thorough and clean cleaning; third, the present utility model is also provided with a paint brushing mechanism, which can automatically replenish and brush paint on the hull, and is convenient to operate.
