Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of underwater robots, in particular to an expandable multi-mount underwater robot. Background Art

[0002] The Scalable Multi-Carry Underwater Robot (AUV) is an advanced underwater robot design designed to perform a variety of underwater tasks and applications. AUVs are automated devices specifically designed and manufactured to operate and perform tasks in underwater environments. They are autonomous or remotely controlled and capable of performing a variety of activities underwater. With the development of marine resources and the need for environmental protection, AUVs will play an increasingly important role in scientific research, resource exploration, and environmental protection.

[0003] Some existing robots lack flexibility in their device mounting methods and are unable to support multiple mounting configurations. This limitation forces the robot to rely on different devices for different tasks, increasing operational complexity and cost. Furthermore, fixed mounting methods limit the robot's adaptability to diverse environments, making it difficult to meet diverse underwater operational requirements. Therefore, a scalable, multi-mount underwater robot is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to make up for the above deficiencies, the present invention provides an expandable multi-mount underwater robot, aiming to improve the problem that some devices in the prior art cannot be expanded with multiple mounts.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An expandable multi-mount underwater robot comprises a body, a connecting frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the body, a power assembly providing telescopic force fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting frame, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting plate, a plurality of limit blocks slidably connected to the inside of the connecting plate, a movable plate fixedly connected to the outside of the limit blocks, a fixing ring fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate, a hook fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate, a limiting column fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate, and a hole formed in the interior of the connecting frame.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The power assembly includes a cylinder, the outside of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting frame, and the driving end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to a connecting column;

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The interior of the body is fixedly connected to a lens, the exterior of the body is fixedly connected to two guide rails, and the exterior of the guide rails is slidably connected to a slider;

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The outside of the slider is fixedly connected to a fixed block, and the outside of the fixed block is fixedly connected to a fixed column;

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The exterior of the fixed column is fixedly connected to a sliding plate, and the exterior of the sliding plate is fixedly connected to a cleaning block;

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The outer portion of the limiting post is slidably connected to the inner portion of the connecting frame, and the bottom portion of the limiting post is slidably connected to the bottom portion of the machine body;

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The outer portion of the connecting frame is slidably connected to the outer portion of the connecting plate, and the outer portion of the connecting frame is slidably connected to the outer portion of the movable plate;

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The cleaning block is slidably connected to the outside of the lens, and the outside of the cleaning block is slidably connected to the outside of the body.

[0021] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. In the utility model, the connecting column is pushed outward by activating the cylinder, so that the connecting plate moves accordingly. Because the limiting column on the movable plate slides in the hole in the connecting frame, the multiple movable plates are restricted by the hole during the downward sliding process and thus dispersed outward, realizing the extended multi-mounting effect of the robot.

[0023] 2. In the present invention, the fixed block slides with the sliding of the slider, thereby driving the cleaning block to clean the small garbage attached to the outside of the lens, thereby ensuring that the lens is clean during the operation of the robot. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
