The purpose of the accompanying drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and overall technical solution of the present invention, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1-2 The utility model provides a technical solution: an underwater ship cleaning robot includes a body 1. The top and surrounding of the body 1 are provided with driving parts.

[0022] The driving member includes a driving motor and fan blades 4. The driving motor is fixedly installed inside the body 1 (not shown in the figure), and the fan blades 4 are rotatably installed outside the body 1. The output shaft of the driving motor is fixedly connected to the fan blades 4.

[0023] Pathfinder components are fixedly installed at the four corners of the body 1.

[0024] The pathfinding component includes a camera 2 and a searchlight 3. The camera 2 and the searchlight 3 are both fixedly mounted at the corners of the body 1, and the camera 2 and the searchlight 3 are correspondingly arranged up and down.

[0025] The lower end surface of the machine body 1 is fixedly mounted with a motor 10. A brush disc 5 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor 10. The lower end surface of the brush disc 5 is fixedly mounted with multiple groups of brushes 6.

[0026] A grate 11 is rotatably mounted on the lower end surface of the machine body 1 at a position corresponding to each group of brushes 6 .

[0027] A linkage assembly is provided between the grate 11 and the brush plate 5 .

[0028] The linkage assembly includes a rotating shaft 7, a gear 8, and a gear ring 9. The rotating shaft 7 is rotatably mounted on the lower end surface of the machine body 1. The grate 11 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the rotating shaft 7. The gear 8 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the rotating shaft 7. The gear ring 9 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the brush plate 5. The gear 8 and the gear ring 9 are meshed and connected.

[0029] In order to facilitate the grate 11 to clean the brush 6, the number of the brush 6 is the same as that of the grate 11, and the entire brush 6 can be cleaned when the grate 11 rotates.

[0030] To ensure the motor operates normally underwater, a motor slot is provided on the lower end surface of the body 1. The motor 10 is fixedly mounted in the motor slot, and an end cover is sealed and installed at the end of the motor slot. The output shaft of the motor 10 is rotatably connected to the end cover.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] By controlling the driving motor and the fan blades, the device is moved to the cleaning area. The route and road conditions of the device can be observed through the camera 2, and the road conditions can be illuminated by the searchlight 3 (this device works in water and the light is dim).

[0033] The motor 10 is started, thereby rotating the brush disc 5, which in turn drives the brush 6 to clean the ship. During this process, the gear ring 9 rotates along with the brush disc 5, thereby rotating the gear 8, which drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 7 drives the grate 11 to rotate. During the rotation of the grate 11, the brush 11 in the process of cleaning can be cleaned, so that impurities on the bristles 6 are scraped off. At the same time, as the grate 11 rotates, impurities adhering to the grate 11 are also washed away by the water flow during the rotation of the grate 11. This not only completes the cleaning of the grate 11, but also enables the brush 6 to fully contact with the ship, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
