[0024] A winding motor 203 is fixedly mounted on the side of the connecting frame 202. The output end of the winding motor 203 is connected to the winding roller 201. The winding roller 201 is adapted to rotate along with the output end of the winding motor 203 to wind the cable.
[0025] A guide mechanism is mounted on the top plate 101, which is suitable for evenly winding the cable onto the winding roller 201. The guide mechanism includes a concave frame 204 fixedly mounted on the top plate 101, a screw rod 205 movably connected to the concave frame 204, a screw rod sleeve 206 threadedly connected to the screw rod 205, and a servo motor 208 fixedly mounted on the side of the concave frame 204.

[0026] Two sets of limiting rods (not shown) are connected to the concave frame 204. The screw sleeve 206 is movably connected to the two sets of limiting rods. The limiting rods are suitable for linearly limiting the movement of the screw sleeve 206.
[0027] A lifting ring 207 is fixedly mounted on the screw rod sleeve 206. The cable passes through the lifting ring 207. One end of the lifting ring 207 is connected to the underwater robot body 209. The screw rod 205 is adapted to rotate along with the output end of the servo motor 208, so that the screw rod sleeve 206 moves linearly on the two sets of limiting rods, and then can rotate synchronously with the winding roller 201, so that the cable is evenly wound on the winding roller 201.
[0028] A cleaning assembly 3 is mounted on the top plate 101. The cleaning assembly 3 includes a mounting frame 301 fixedly mounted on the top plate 101, a rotating motor 302 fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 301, and a first pulley 303 fixedly mounted on the output end of the rotating motor 302.

[0034] After use, the winding motor 203 is started again to rotate forward, and the servo motor 208 is started synchronously, so that the winding motor 203 drives the winding roller 201 to rewind the cable, and the servo motor 208 synchronously drives the cable to move back and forth, so that the cable is evenly wound on the winding roller 201;
[0035] The rotating motor 302 is started synchronously to rotate the first pulley 303, the first pulley 303 drives the second pulley 306 to rotate, the second pulley 306 drives the cleaning shaft 305 to rotate, and the cleaning shaft 305 drives the cleaning brush 307 to rotate to clean the cable surface.
