Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of underwater robot transportation, in particular to a transportation frame for an underwater robot. Background Art

[0002] Underwater robots, also known as unmanned remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), are robots designed for extreme underwater operations, capable of submerging and performing certain tasks in place of humans. As the most important means of underwater exploration, underwater robot technology has garnered unprecedented attention and development, and market demand for underwater robots is rapidly increasing. The use of transport racks is essential for ensuring the safe transportation of underwater robots.

[0003] Currently, the use of transport racks on the market is too simple. Usually, flat plates are used for transportation. In this way, the mobile mechanism of the underwater robot supports the entire device. During long-distance transportation, vibration is inevitable. Long-term vibration can easily cause damage to the underwater robot, which makes the use value of the flat plate transport rack very low. Moreover, the flatness of some transport racks themselves is difficult to control, which further affects the safe transportation of the underwater robot.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a transport rack for underwater robots to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a transport frame for an underwater robot, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology that the current transport frame for underwater robots does not provide comprehensive support for the underwater robot and the flatness of the transport frame itself is difficult to control.

The upper end of the connecting stud is inserted into the connecting base, and the lower end of the connecting stud is fixed with the support seat, and the support seat is made of hard rubber.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting stud is in a rotating structure on the connecting base, and the inner diameter of the connecting base is equal to the maximum outer diameter of the connecting stud.

[0009] Preferably, a screw is fixed to the upper end of the support rod and is threadedly connected to the socket. The socket is made of hard rubber, and the upper end of the socket is hemispherical.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting assembly includes a limiting support plate, which is arranged in the fixed support plate and is flush with the side surface of the fixed support plate. The support rod passes through the limiting support plate, and a tooth structure matching the limiting tooth is provided in the groove connecting the limiting support plate and the support rod.

[0011] Preferably, a slider is provided on the lower side of the position-limiting support plate, and the slider has a T-shaped cross-section connected to the fixed support plate. The position-limiting support plate forms a sliding structure in the fixed support plate through the slider.

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figures 1-8 The utility model provides a technical solution: a transport frame for an underwater robot, including a frame body 1, a support leg 2 is installed below the frame body 1, a fixed support plate 3 is installed above the frame body 1, a support rod 5 is provided on the fixed support plate 3, and a limiting tooth 9 is provided on the support rod 5.

[0029] Furthermore, a screw is fixed to the upper end of the support rod 5 and is threadedly connected to the socket 6, which facilitates the disassembly, assembly and replacement of the socket 6. The socket 6 is made of hard rubber to ensure safe contact with the underwater robot, and the upper end of the socket 6 is hemispherical, which can better support the underwater robot.

[0030] Furthermore, the supporting foot 2 includes a connecting base 201, a rotating nut 202, a connecting stud 203 and a support seat 204. The upper end of the connecting base 201 is fixed to the bottom of the frame body 1 to ensure stable support for the frame body 1. The lower end of the connecting base 201 is movably installed with a rotating nut 202, and the rotating nut 202 is internally connected to the connecting stud 203. The upper end of the connecting stud 203 is inserted into the connecting base 201, and the lower end of the connecting stud 203 is fixed with a support seat 204, and the support seat 204 is made of hard rubber to better support the frame body 1.

[0031] Furthermore, the connecting stud 203 is a rotating structure on the connecting base 201, which can drive the connecting stud 203 to extend and retract, thereby changing the overall height of the supporting foot 2. The inner diameter of the connecting base 201 is equal to the maximum outer diameter of the connecting stud 203, ensuring that the connecting stud 203 is in a stable state.

[0032] A limiting assembly for fixing the upper and lower positions of the support rod 5 is provided in the fixed support plate 3 , and a fixing rod 8 is provided between the fixed support plate 3 and the frame body 1 , and the fixing rod 8 is sleeved on the outer side of the support rod 5 .

[0033] Furthermore, the limiting assembly includes a limiting support plate 4, which is arranged in the fixed support plate 3, and the limiting support plate 4 is flush with the upper side surface of the fixed support plate 3, reducing the adverse effects of the limiting support plate 4, and the support rod 5 passes through the limiting support plate 4, and a tooth structure matching the limiting tooth 9 is provided in the groove connecting the limiting support plate 4 and the support rod 5, which can limit the up and down movement of the support rod 5.

[0034] Furthermore, a slider 7 is provided on the lower side of the limiting support plate 4. The cross-section of the slider 7 is T-shaped and connected to the fixed support plate 3. The limiting support plate 4 forms a sliding structure in the fixed support plate 3 through the slider 7, ensuring that the limiting support plate 4 can only slide horizontally and will not be separated from the fixed support plate 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the limiting working state of the limiting support plate 4 on the support rod 5.

[0035] Furthermore, a driving bolt 12 is threadedly connected to the fixed support plate 3, and the driving bolt 12 passes through the fixed support plate 3 and is movably connected to the limiting support plate 4. The limiting support plate 4 can be moved back and forth by operating the driving bolt 12.

[0036] Furthermore, a spring 11 is provided in the fixing rod 8, and the upper end of the spring 11 is connected to the support rod 5. The support rod 5 is automatically reset by the spring 11 to facilitate subsequent use. The clamps 10 are fixed on both sides of the lower end of the support rod 5, and the clamps 10 are connected in the fixing rod 8 to ensure that the support rod 5 is always in the fixing rod 8.

[0037] Specifically, when using the transport rack, first place the transport rack on the transport vehicle, adjust the support legs 2 to ensure that the transport rack is in a stable state on the transport vehicle, and by rotating the nut 202, the connecting stud 203 can be extended or retracted on the connecting base 201 to change the overall length of the supporting legs 2. After the length of the supporting legs 2 is adjusted, the support base 204 stabilizes the support rack body 1;

[0038] Then place the underwater robot directly on the fixed support plate 3. The underwater robot's gravity presses down the support rod 5. The socket 6 at the upper end of the support rod 5 ensures safe contact with the underwater robot, preventing the support rod 5 from damaging the underwater robot.

[0039] After the underwater robot lands on the support rod 5, the corresponding support rod 5 is retracted to different heights according to the uneven contact position below the underwater robot, so that the support rod 5 below can all provide support for the underwater robot.

[0040] After the underwater robot is placed stably, the driving bolt 12 on the fixed support plate 3 is rotated. The driving bolt 12 can control the limiting support plate 4 to slide at the position of the fixed support plate 3. As the position of the limiting support plate 4 moves, it can cooperate with the limiting teeth 9 on the support rod 5 to limit the up and down movement of the support rod 5. In this way, the state of the entire support rod 5 can be maintained stable, thereby stably and evenly supporting the underwater robot. Finally, the fixing state of the underwater robot on the transport frame can be further reinforced with a strap to ensure safe transportation.

[0041] When arriving at the destination, the underwater robot is reinforced by removing the straps, and the limit support plate 4 is driven by the bolt 12 to release the restriction on the support rod 5, so that the underwater robot can be directly removed from the transport rack. When the underwater robot is moved away, the support rod 5 is reset upward under the action of the spring 11 inside the fixing rod 8 and restored to the same horizontal state, so that it can be used normally next time;

[0042] The above is the use process of the transport rack, and the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the existing technology known to professional and technical personnel in this field.
