The depth control module 12 is provided with a depth joystick 13 (Depth) extending from the operation panel shell 2, and the direction control module 14 is provided with a joystick extending from the operation panel shell 2. The direction rocker 15 (Direction) is provided, the posture control module 16 is provided with a posture rocker 17 (Posture) extending out of the operation panel shell 2, the motion control module 18 is provided with a motion rocker 19 (Walik) extending out of the operation panel shell 2, the depth control module 12, the direction control module 14, the posture control module 16 and the motion control module 18 are all electrically connected to the control circuit board 11; the side wall of the bottom shell 1 is provided with a waterproof wire connector 5 for accessing the power line and the signal line, which can effectively ensure stable operation in the water environment, and one end of the waterproof wire connector 5 extends into the bottom shell 1 and is electrically connected to the control circuit board 11.

[0024] In this embodiment, the depth control module 12 and the direction control module 14 are located on the same side or different sides of the control circuit board 11 .

[0025] The remote control in this embodiment is integrated with the depth control module 12, the direction control module 14, the posture control module 16 and the motion control module 18, and can simultaneously control multiple thrusters and track chassis combinations of the underwater cleaning robot, thereby realizing multi-directional and multi-form control of the underwater robot. The operator can accurately control the robot's motion trajectory and posture through simple joystick or button operations, so that novice operators can also quickly get started, greatly improving operational efficiency and accuracy.

[0026] In this embodiment, the operation panel housing 2 is provided with a power switch 21 , a mode lever 22 (Model) and a light lever 23 (Light) which are electrically connected to the control circuit board 11 respectively. The power switch 21 is located in the middle position of the operation panel housing 2 .

[0027] In this embodiment, the operation panel shell 2 is also provided with a plurality of cleaning disk buttons 24 and a plurality of throttle buttons 25 electrically connected to the control circuit board 11. The cleaning disk buttons 24 are used to control the forward / reverse rotation and stop of the robot cleaning disk. The cleaning disk buttons 24 are all arranged on the same horizontal line and located on one side of the power switch 21. The throttle button 25 is used to control the increase, decrease and maintenance of the motor power of the entire robot. The throttle button 25 is all arranged on the same horizontal line and located on one side of the cleaning disk button 24.

[0028] In this embodiment, the cleaning disk buttons 24 include a Pos (forward) button, a Rev (reverse) button, and a Stop (stop) button.

[0029] In this embodiment, the throttle button 25 includes an Inc (throttle +) button, a Dec (throttle -) button, and a Hold (throttle hold) button.

[0030] In this embodiment, the multifunctional remote controller is further provided with two camera switch buttons 6 (Cam1 button 61 and Cam2 button 62 ), and the camera switch buttons 6 are respectively arranged on the two side walls of the bottom shell 1 .

[0031] To use the multifunctional remote control in this embodiment: First, press the power switch 21 to turn on the remote control. When the robot is about to enter the water, the depth joystick 13 controls the robot's thrusters. Pushing the joystick 13 forward causes the robot to dive, while pulling it backward causes it to surface. The magnitude of the push or pull determines the speed of the dive or surface. While moving underwater, the directional joystick 15 controls the robot's swimming and steering. Adjusting the direction and amplitude of the directional joystick 15 as needed allows for flexible movement. To adjust the robot's pitch, operate the attitude joystick 17 to achieve a better viewing angle or adapt to different underwater environments. When the robot needs to maneuver under the ship's surface, the motion joystick 19 controls the forward and reverse movement of the tracks, as well as their speed. The mode lever 22 switches the robot's state according to specific task requirements. For precise operation, switch the mode to the maneuverable state; for relatively fixed tasks, switch to the hold state. When lighting conditions are poor, switch the light lever 23 to turn on the lights, and switch it again to turn them off after the operation is completed. During cleaning, press the Pos button in the cleaning disk buttons 24 to rotate the cleaning disk forward, the Rev button to rotate it backward, and the Stop button to stop the rotation. To adjust the motor power, press the Inc button in the throttle buttons 25 to increase power, the Dec button to decrease power, and the Hold button to maintain the current power. To use the camera, press the Cam1 button 61 to activate the front camera and the Cam2 button 62 to activate the rear camera to capture images from different angles. The above operations can be flexibly combined and adjusted according to actual circumstances to achieve effective control of the robot and complete various tasks.

[0032] In this embodiment, the bottom shell 1 is made of aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy material with a color-oxidized surface treatment not only has an aesthetically pleasing appearance but also offers excellent durability and protective properties. The internal structure is rationally designed, effectively and stably securing the control circuit board 11 and various unit buttons and functional modules.

[0033] In this embodiment, a side wall of the bottom shell 1 is further provided with a waist support handle 4, and the waist support handle 4 includes a group of fixed locking parts 41 and a handle shaft 42. One end of the fixed locking part 41 is provided with a locking hole 411, and the fixed end of the fixed locking part 41 is fixed to the side wall of the bottom shell 1. Both ends of the handle shaft 42 pass through the locking hole 411 and are locked by the locking hole 411.

[0034] In order to facilitate the carrying and operation of the remote control in this embodiment, a waist-hanging handle 4 is specifically designed. When in use, the operator inserts the handle shaft 42 into the locking hole 411 and locks it so that the handle can be hung around the waist, reducing hand pressure and improving the stability and comfort of operation.

[0035] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the operation panel shell 2 is further provided with an identification panel 3, on which functional text labels are carefully designed, corresponding to each joystick or button, so that the operator can quickly and accurately identify and operate, thereby improving operational efficiency and accuracy.

[0036] The above embodiments are preferred implementation schemes of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the present invention is within the scope of protection of the present invention.
