Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of surface floating object cleaning, and particularly relates to a surface floating object cleaning device for underwater robots. Background Technique

[0002] The problem of garbage pollution in the ocean and lakes is becoming increasingly serious, which not only poses a serious threat to the living environment of aquatic organisms but also has an adverse impact on human health. To effectively address this global challenge, various surface cleaning technologies and equipment have received extensive attention and application. Among them, the surface floating object cleaning device for underwater robots has become one of the current research hotspots due to its high efficiency and flexibility.

[0003] The existing surface floating object cleaning devices for underwater robots usually use adsorption mechanisms to collect surface floating objects and achieve solid-liquid separation through mesh bags. However, in actual applications, such devices face some problems and challenges. First, as the floating objects are continuously collected, the mesh bags are prone to blockage, resulting in a decrease in the collection efficiency and even the need for frequent manual cleaning and maintenance, increasing the workload and cost. Second, the existing surface floating object cleaning devices for underwater robots lack an effective pushing mechanism, resulting in a small collection range of floating objects and thus a low collection efficiency of floating objects.

[0004] Therefore, it is very necessary to invent a surface floating object cleaning device for underwater robots. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a surface floating object cleaning device for underwater robots to solve the problems mentioned in the background technique.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0007] The utility model is a surface floating object cleaning device for underwater robots, including a fixed column, a filtering box, a collection rack, a diversion pipe, an infusion pipe, and a spraying rack. The lower sides of the filtering box and the collection rack are respectively fixed with the fixed column by bolts, and the fixed columns are all fixed to the upper end of the underwater robot by bolts. The input end of the filtering box is fixed to the collection rack, and the output end of the filtering box is fixed to the input end of the diversion pipe. A water pump is fixed inside the diversion pipe. The output end of the diversion pipe is fixed with two infusion pipes through joints, and the other ends of the infusion pipes are respectively fixed with spraying racks, which are respectively fixed to both sides of the underwater robot by bolts.

[0008] Further, the filtering box includes a connecting frame, a baffle, a box body, a net bag and a guiding mechanism. One end of the connecting frame is fixed to the collecting frame by bolts, and the other end of the connecting frame is fixed with a box body by bolts. The other end of the box body is fixed to the diversion pipe. The lower ends of the connecting frame and the box body are respectively fixed to the corresponding fixed columns. The other end of the box body is fixed to the input end of the diversion pipe, and a net bag is fixed inside the box body by bolts. A guiding mechanism is arranged inside the net bag, and the guiding mechanism is fixed to the inner wall of the box by bolts. The upper end of the baffle is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame by a hinge, and the lower end of the baffle is arc-shaped. Such a setting facilitates the collection of floating objects on the water surface. Moreover, after the collection of floating objects on the water surface is completed, it can prevent the floating objects on the water surface from floating out of the net bag.

[0009] Further, the guiding mechanism includes a guide rod, a first limiting plate, a second limiting plate, a reciprocating plate, a sleeve, a spring, a cam, a motor and a mounting post. The two ends of the reciprocating plate respectively slide through the guide rod, and the two ends of the guide rod are respectively fixed to the inner wall of the box body. A first limiting plate is arranged on one side of the reciprocating plate, and a second limiting plate is arranged on the other side of the reciprocating plate. The first limiting plate and the second limiting plate are both fixed to the guide rod by welding. A sleeve is fixed to one side surface of the reciprocating plate by welding, and the sleeve is slidably arranged on the outer side surface of the second limiting plate. A spring is arranged between the reciprocating plate and the second limiting plate, and the spring is arranged inside the sleeve. One side surface of the reciprocating plate close to the first limiting plate is in contact with the outer side surface of the cam, and the cam is fixed to the output end of the motor. The motor is fixed to the box body by the mounting post. Such a setting can prevent the collected floating objects from blocking the net bag.

[0010] Further, the spraying frame includes an outer pipe, an inner pipe, a bent pipe and an electric push rod. The outer pipe is fixed to the outer side surface of the underwater robot by bolts, and one end of the outer pipe is fixed to the infusion pipe by a joint. The inner pipe is slidably installed inside the outer pipe. The other end of the inner pipe is fixed with a bent pipe by a joint, and the other end of the bent pipe faces the direction of the collecting frame. An electric push rod is fixed to the outer side surface of the outer pipe by bolts, and the output end of the electric push rod is fixed to the outer side surface of the inner pipe by bolts. Such a setting can push the floating objects around the underwater robot towards the collecting frame when collecting the floating objects on the water surface, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the floating objects on the water surface. When it is not necessary to collect the floating objects on the water surface, it can be folded to avoid the outer pipe affecting the movement of the underwater robot.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The filter box of the present utility model is arranged such that the water pump inside the diversion pipe can create a negative pressure state inside the box body. Thus, the floating objects on the water surface can be collected into the net bag through the connecting frame and the collection frame. During the collection process, the baffle can rotate towards the net bag. At the same time, the motor drives the cam to rotate, and with the action of the spring, the reciprocating plate reciprocates along the guide rod, pushing the floating objects inside the box body to both sides of the box body, ensuring that the water flows smoothly to the inside of the diversion pipe in the middle of the box body. The sleeve can prevent the collected floating objects from affecting the spring, ensuring that the water flows smoothly to the inside of the diversion pipe in the middle of the box body. When the collection of floating objects is completed, the baffle can reset under the action of its own gravity, effectively preventing the floating objects on the water surface from floating out of the net bag and ensuring the persistence of the collection effect.

[0013] 2. The injection rack of the present utility model is arranged such that the length of the inner pipe in the outer pipe is adjusted by the electric push rod. Combining the cooperation of the outer pipe and the infusion pipe, the liquid extracted by the diversion pipe can be transported to the inside of the inner pipe and sprayed out through the elbow pipe. The sprayed liquid can form a certain thrust, pushing the floating objects around the underwater robot towards the collection rack direction, significantly improving the collection efficiency of the floating objects on the water surface. When it is not necessary to collect the floating objects on the water surface, the electric push rod can retract the inner pipe into the outer pipe, avoiding the influence of the outer pipe on the movement of the underwater robot and ensuring the flexibility and mobility of the robot in the water.

[0022] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "middle", "outer", "inner", "around", etc. indicating the orientation or position relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a cleaning device for surface floating objects supporting an underwater robot, including a fixed column 2, a filter box 3, a collection rack 4, a diversion pipe 5, an infusion pipe 6, and a spraying rack 7. The lower sides of the filter box 3 and the collection rack 4 are respectively fixed with a fixed column 2 by bolts, and the fixed columns 2 are all fixed to the upper end of the underwater robot 1 by bolts; the input end of the filter box 3 is fixed to the collection rack 4, and the output end of the filter box 3 is fixed to the input end of the diversion pipe 5, and a water pump is fixed inside the diversion pipe 5; the output end of the diversion pipe 5 is fixed with two infusion pipes 6 through connectors, and the other ends of the infusion pipes 6 are respectively fixed with a spraying rack 7, and the spraying racks 7 are respectively fixed to both sides of the underwater robot 1 by bolts.

[0025] As Figure 2As shown in the figure, the filtering box 3 includes a connecting frame 31, a baffle 32, a box body 33, a net pocket 34 and a guiding mechanism 35. One end of the connecting frame 31 is fixed to the collecting frame 4 by bolts, and the other end of the connecting frame 31 is fixed with a box body 33 by bolts. The other end of the box body 33 is fixed to the diversion pipe 5. The lower ends of the connecting frame 31 and the box body 33 are respectively fixed to the corresponding fixed columns 2. The other end of the box body 33 is fixed to the input end of the diversion pipe 5, and a net pocket 34 is fixed inside the box body 33 by bolts. A guiding mechanism 35 is arranged inside the net pocket 34, and the guiding mechanism 35 is fixed to the inner wall of the box body 33 by bolts. The upper end of the baffle 32 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 31 by a hinge, and the lower end of the baffle 32 is arc-shaped. During use, the water pump inside the diversion pipe 5 can extract the liquid inside the box body 33, causing a negative pressure state inside the box body 33, so as to collect the floating objects on the water surface into the net pocket 34 through the connecting frame 31 and the collecting frame 4. Among them, during the process of collecting the floating objects on the water surface, the baffle 32 can rotate towards the net pocket 34, thus avoiding affecting the collection of the floating objects on the water surface. After the collection of the floating objects on the water surface is completed, the baffle 32 can reset under the action of its own gravity, thus preventing the floating objects on the water surface from floating out of the net pocket 34.

[0026] As Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the guiding mechanism 35 includes a guiding rod 351, a first limiting plate 352, a second limiting plate 353, a reciprocating plate 354, a sleeve 355, a spring 356, a cam 357, a motor 358 and a mounting post 359. The two ends of the reciprocating plate 354 are respectively slidably penetrated by the guiding rod 351, and the two ends of the guiding rod 351 are respectively fixed to the inner wall of the box body 33; a first limiting plate 352 is arranged on one side of the reciprocating plate 354, and a second limiting plate 353 is arranged on the other side of the reciprocating plate 354. The first limiting plate 352 and the second limiting plate 353 are both fixed to the guiding rod 351 by welding; a sleeve 355 is fixed to one side surface of the reciprocating plate 354 by welding, and the sleeve 355 is slidably arranged on the outer side surface of the second limiting plate 353; a spring 356 is arranged between the reciprocating plate 354 and the second limiting plate 353, and the spring 356 is arranged inside the sleeve 355; one side surface of the reciprocating plate 354 close to the first limiting plate 352 is in contact with the outer side surface of the cam 357, and the cam 357 is fixed to the output end of the motor 358. The motor 358 is fixed to the box body 33 by the mounting post 359. When collecting floating objects on the water surface, the motor 358 can drive the cam 357 to rotate. During the rotation of the cam 357, through the cooperation with the spring 356, the reciprocating plate 354 can be made to reciprocate along the guiding rod 351, so as to push the floating objects inside the box body 33 to both sides of the box body 33, facilitating the water flow to move to the inside of the diversion pipe 5 in the middle of the box body 33. The sleeve 355 can prevent the collected floating objects from affecting the spring 356.

[0027] As Figure 5 shown in the figure, the spraying frame 7 includes an outer pipe 71, an inner pipe 72, a bent pipe 73 and an electric push rod 74. The outer pipe 71 is fixed to the outer side surface of the underwater robot 1 by bolts, and one end of the outer pipe 71 is fixed to the infusion pipe 6 through a joint; the inner pipe 72 is slidably installed inside the outer pipe 71.

When it is necessary to collect floating objects on the water surface, the electric push rod 74 can draw out a part of the inner pipe 72 inside the outer pipe 71, and then through the cooperation of the outer pipe 71 and the infusion pipe 6, the liquid extracted by the diversion pipe 5 is conveyed to the inside of the inner pipe 72 and finally sprayed out through the bent pipe 73. The liquid sprayed out through the bent pipe 73 can push the floating objects around the underwater robot 1 towards the collecting frame 4, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the floating objects on the water surface. When it is not necessary to collect floating objects on the water surface, the electric push rod 74 can retract the inner pipe 72 into the outer pipe 71, thereby avoiding the outer pipe 71 from affecting the movement of the underwater robot 1.

[0028] Please refer toFigures 1-5 As shown, the utility model is a cleaning device for underwater robot supporting surface floating objects, and its working principle is as follows:

[0029] When it is necessary to collect surface floating objects, through the cooperation of the diversion pipe 5 and the filter box 3, the collection frame 4 can collect the floating objects and liquid on the water surface. Among them, the collected floating objects will be intercepted inside the filter box 3, and the collected liquid will be transported to the injection frame 7 through the infusion pipe 6 and then ejected through the injection frame 7. The ejected liquid can push the floating objects around the underwater robot 1 towards the collection frame 4, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the surface floating objects.
