[0002] Underwater robots (AUVs) are automated devices used in underwater environments and are widely used in scientific research, engineering, military, entertainment, and other fields. They typically consist of a body with propulsion and various sensors, and can perform various tasks underwater.
[0003] An underwater robot rack is a frame or structure used to store and deploy underwater robots. It is typically mounted on a ship, submarine, or other underwater platform. The rack provides safe and secure storage for the robot and allows for quick and efficient deployment and retrieval.
[0004] After searching, for example, the patent with publication number CN210291242U specifically discloses an underwater robot placement rack. This patent places the underwater robot on a support structure and then clamps and fixes the bottom of the robot.
[0005] When existing underwater robots are recovered after use, they usually detach from the retraction device and fall onto the ship's deck. At this time, they need to be manually carried to the placement rack. However, during the recovery process, the water carried by the robot will fall onto the ship's deck. Therefore, when the robot is recovered or transferred to another location, the operator is easily affected by the water on the ship's deck. In serious cases, the operator may fall and damage the robot, which not only increases the operator's workload, but also increases the potential operational risks. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an underwater robot placement rack to solve the above problems.
[0006] It should be noted that the above information disclosed in this Background section is only for understanding the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, it may contain information that does not constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0032] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, the present application provides an underwater robot placement frame, which has a robot 4. The placement frame includes a frame body 1, which is used to place the robot 4. The frame body 1 has four groups of vertically arranged support columns 11. The four groups of support columns 11 are symmetrical to each other and spliced into a rectangle. A protective plate 12 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support column 11, and a back plate 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the support column 11. A base frame 14 is fixedly installed between the bottoms of the support columns 11 on both sides of the back plate 13. In the present application, a transparent plate is fixedly installed on the end surface of the support column 11 with the base frame 14, thereby protecting the robot 4;
[0035] At the same time, a placement plate 15 is provided at the upper end of the base frame 14, and the placement plate 15 is fixedly installed between the support columns 11. The placement plate 15 is set inward, and a column 16 is fixedly installed between the placement plate 15 and the base frame 14. The column 16 is used to improve the stability of the placement plate 15. Therefore, after the robot 4 is placed on the placement plate 15, a distance can be maintained between the robot 4 and the deck to prevent moisture.
[0036] In addition, a baffle 17 is fixedly installed upward on the end of the placement plate 15 away from the rear plate 13, and the baffle 17 can limit the robot 4 to prevent the robot 4 from sliding out of the placement plate 15 after being shaken.
[0037] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, in order to better control the position of the robot 4, a moving mechanism 2 is provided inside the frame 1, and the moving mechanism 2 is used to move the robot 4. The moving mechanism 2 has a fixed frame 21, and the fixed frame 21 is set to be rectangular. The lower end of the fixed frame 21 is rotatably connected to a roller 24, and the fixed frame 21 can be moved as a whole by the roller 24;
[0038] At the same time, telescopic columns 22 are fixedly installed on the upper ends of the four corners of the fixing frame 21, and a top plate 23 is fixedly installed on the upper ends of the telescopic columns 22, so the telescopic columns 22 can drive the top plate 23 to move up and down. In this application, the top plate 23 and the fixing frame 21 are the same size, and the width of the fixing frame 21 is smaller than the distance between the placement plates 15. Therefore, when the fixing frame 21 moves in the frame body 1 with the roller 24, it will not be stuck by the placement plate 15.
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to enable the roller 24 to automatically rotate and drive the robot 4 to move, a driving mechanism 3 is provided on one side of the roller 24 below the rear plate 13. The driving mechanism 3 has two sets of fixed rods 32 fixedly mounted below the fixing frame 21. A rotating shaft 31 is rotatably connected between the two sets of fixed rods 32, and the roller 24 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 31.
[0040] A mounting plate 33 is fixedly mounted on one side of one set of fixed rods 32, and a driving motor 34 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 33. The output shaft of the driving motor 34 passes through the mounting plate 33, and a driving wheel 35 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the driving motor 34. At the same time, a driven wheel 36 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 31, and a belt 37 is connected between the driven wheel 36 and the driving wheel 35. Therefore, starting the driving motor 34 can drive the driving wheel 35 to rotate, and the driven wheel 36 is driven to rotate through the belt 37, so that the rotating shaft 31 rotates and drives the roller 24 to rotate, driving the moving mechanism 2 to move as a whole.
[0041] It should be noted that when the moving mechanism 2 moves in the frame 1 , the driving motor 34 will not affect the normal movement of the moving mechanism 2 .
[0042] In summary: when the robot 4 is finished using, the driving mechanism 3 is activated to move the mobile mechanism 2 out of the frame 1, and then the retracting device of the robot 4 places it directly on the top plate 23, and then the mobile mechanism 2 is controlled to move back into the frame 1;
[0043] When it reaches the vicinity of the frame 1, the telescopic column 22 is activated to push the top plate 23 upward, higher than the baffle 17, so that it will not be blocked by the baffle 17 when entering the frame 1;
[0044] After the moving mechanism 2 drives the robot 4 completely into the frame 1, the telescopic column 22 is driven to retract, causing the robot 4 to slowly fall onto the placement plate 15. The telescopic column 22 then continues to retract until the top plate 23 is away from the robot 4. This allows the robot 4 to be stably placed on the frame 1 for storage when not in use, without causing the telescopic column 22 to be subjected to stress for a long time, thereby protecting the telescopic column 22.
[0045] Therefore, when the robot 4 is recovered or transferred, there is no need for an operator to carry it, which prevents damage to the robot 4, reduces the workload of the operator, and also reduces potential operational risks.
[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
