Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned surface vessel (USV) radar technology, and in particular to a self-cleaning USV radar mounting base. Background Technology
[0002] The applications of unmanned surface vessels (USVs) in water quality monitoring, water mapping, security and rescue, and shipping are becoming increasingly widespread and urgent. The operating environments of USVs are often complex and diverse, including buoys, oxygenators, small islands, large and medium-sized floating objects, bridge arches, and passing vessels. Marine radar provides safety assurance for USV navigation and operations.
[0003] Radar illuminates a target by emitting electromagnetic waves and receives its echo, thereby obtaining information such as the distance from the target to the electromagnetic wave emission point, the rate of change of distance (radial velocity), azimuth, and altitude.
[0004] However, current unmanned surface vessel (USV) radars are ill-suited to harsh environments and cannot maintain stable operation under various climatic conditions. When dust, condensation, mud, or other contaminants adhere to their surfaces, the detection accuracy of USV radars is severely compromised, rendering them unable to obtain effective environmental information and posing serious safety hazards. Therefore, to ensure the normal operation of USV radars, timely automatic cleaning of their outer surfaces is necessary. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems in related technologies, this application discloses a self-cleaning radar mounting base for unmanned surface vessels, which solves the problem that the outer surface of unmanned surface vessel radar cannot be automatically cleaned in related technologies.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A self-cleaning unmanned surface vessel (USV) radar mounting base includes a radar base, a support column on the upper part of the radar base, a radar body supported on the upper part of the support column, a cleaning component around the radar body, a telescopic component at the lower part of the cleaning component, the telescopic end of the telescopic component being fixedly connected to the cleaning component, a hidden cavity on the radar base, the fixed end of the telescopic component being located at the bottom of the hidden cavity, the telescopic component's telescopic movement causing the cleaning component to move up and down relative to the radar body, the up and down movement of the cleaning component realizing the cleaning operation of the radar body, and the telescopic component retracting downwards placing the cleaning component inside the hidden cavity.
[0008] As a further aspect of this application: the cleaning component includes a frame-type cleaning frame, and a cleaning brush is provided inside the cleaning frame. The cleaning brush makes frictional contact with the outer surface of the radar body, and the cleaning brush moves up and down to achieve the cleaning operation of the radar body.
[0009] As a further aspect of this application: the telescopic assembly includes an electric cylinder.
[0010] As a further aspect of this application: when the cleaning component is placed inside the hidden cavity, the upper surface of the cleaning component is flush with the upper surface of the radar base.
[0011] As a further aspect of this application: the top of the radar body is provided with a protective layer, and multiple spray nozzles are provided around the protective layer. The spray nozzles are connected to a cleaning water source through spray pipes.
[0012] As a further aspect of this application: the diameter of the protective layer is larger than the diameter of the radar body, and the spray nozzle is disposed downward at a position where the protective layer protrudes relative to the radar body.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this application: the spray pipe is installed inside the radar base, support column, radar body and protective layer, one end of the spray pipe is connected to the cleaning water source, and the other end of the spray pipe is connected to the spray nozzle.

[0031] To further understand the content, features, and effects of this application, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0032] like Figure 1-4 As shown:
[0033] A self-cleaning radar mounting base for an unmanned surface vessel includes a radar base 1, a support column 2 on the upper part of the radar base 1, and a radar body 3 supported on the upper part of the support column 2. The radar body 3 is cylindrical.
[0034] The radar body 3 is equipped with cleaning components 4 around its perimeter, and a telescopic component 5 is located at the bottom of the cleaning components 4. The telescopic component 5 includes an electric cylinder.
[0035] The telescopic component 5 is fixedly connected to the cleaning component 4. The radar base 1 is provided with a hidden cavity 6. The fixed end of the telescopic component 5 is located at the bottom of the hidden cavity 6. The telescopic component 5 moves up and down relative to the radar body 3. The up and down movement of the cleaning component 4 realizes the cleaning operation of the radar body 3. The telescopic component 5 can be placed in the hidden cavity 6 by retracting downward.
[0036] The cleaning component 4 includes a frame-type cleaning frame 41. The inner shape of the cleaning frame 41 matches the shape of the radar body 3. A cleaning brush 42 is provided inside the cleaning frame 41. The cleaning brush 42 makes frictional contact with the outer surface of the radar body 3. The cleaning brush 42 moves up and down to achieve the cleaning operation of the radar body 3.
[0037] Furthermore, when the cleaning component 4 is placed inside the concealed cavity 6, the upper surface of the cleaning component 4 is flush with the upper surface of the radar base 1. The radar base 1 is located inside the hull 9, thus the upper surfaces of the hull 9, the radar base 1, and the cleaning device are flush as a whole.
[0038] Preferably, the radar body 3 has a protective layer 7 on top, and multiple spray nozzles 81 are arranged around the protective layer 7. The spray nozzles 81 are connected to a cleaning water source through spray pipes 82. The diameter of the protective layer 7 is larger than the diameter of the radar body 3, and the spray nozzles 81 are arranged downwards at the protruding position of the protective layer 7 relative to the radar body 3. The spray pipes 82 are arranged inside the radar base 1, support column 2, radar body 3, and protective layer 7. One end of the spray pipes 82 is connected to the cleaning water source, and the other end of the spray pipes 82 is connected to the spray nozzles 81.
[0039] In practical applications:
[0040] The radar body 3 is equipped with cleaning components 4 around its perimeter. The lower part of the cleaning components 4 is equipped with telescopic components 5. The telescopic components 5 extend and retract, causing the cleaning components 4 to move up and down relative to the radar body 3. The up and down movement of the cleaning components 4 realizes the cleaning operation of the radar body 3, achieving automatic and efficient cleaning of the radar body 3, improving the radar detection accuracy of the unmanned surface vessel, and improving the safety of the unmanned surface vessel.
[0041] The radar base 1 is provided with a hidden cavity 6. The telescopic end of the telescopic component 5 is fixedly connected to the cleaning component 4. The fixed end of the telescopic component 5 is located at the bottom of the hidden cavity 6. The telescopic component 5 can be retracted downward to place the cleaning component 4 inside the hidden cavity 6. The hidden cavity 6 can hide the telescopic component 5 and the cleaning component 4, realizing the hidden design of the cleaning device and improving the anti-interference of the radar structure.
[0042] The radar body 3 is provided with a protective layer 7 on top, which provides efficient protection for the radar body 3. Multiple spray nozzles 81 are provided around the protective layer 7. The spray nozzles 81 are connected to the cleaning water source through the spray pipe 82. The spray nozzles 81 can spray the cleaning liquid evenly on the surface of the radar body 3, which improves the radar cleaning effect.
[0043] The diameter of the protective layer 7 is larger than that of the radar body 3. The spray nozzle 81 is positioned downwards at the protruding position of the protective layer 7 relative to the radar body 3. The spray nozzle 81 is hidden under the protection of the protective layer 7, which has a high degree of security and concealment.
