[0041] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2In this invention, the dredging robot 100 includes a robot body 10, a track assembly 20, a dredging pipe 30, a clamping assembly 40, and a detector 50. The track assembly 20 is located on the left or right side of the robot body 10 and is used for underwater mud surface or ground travel. The dredging pipe 30 is installed on the robot body 10; the inlet of the dredging pipe 30 is connected to a water pump and is used to transport the silt and sand pumped by the water pump. The dredging pipe 30 is a transparent pipe. The clamping assembly 40 includes a first clamping seat 41 and a second clamping seat 42, the second clamping seat 42 being movably connected to the first clamping seat 41. A clamping groove 40a is formed between the second clamping seat 42 and the first clamping seat 41, clamping the dredging pipe 30. This allows the second clamping seat 42 and the first clamping seat 41 to clamp the dredging pipe 30, facilitating full utilization of the movement between the first clamping seat 41 and the second clamping seat 42. Furthermore, the first clamping seat 41 and the second clamping seat 42 can move to accommodate different types of dredging pipes 30, avoiding the inability to clamp different types of dredging pipes 30 and improving the versatility of the dredging robot 100. Simultaneously, a detector 50 is installed on the second clamping seat 42 or the first clamping seat 41 to detect silt in the dredging pipe 30, providing real-time information on the robot's silt extraction, facilitating robot operation and improving dredging efficiency. Optionally, the detector 50 is a combination of a photoresistor and a light source.

[0042] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 In this utility model, the robot body 10 serves as a supporting component of the dredging robot 100. The robot body 10 is used to support the track assembly 20, the dredging pipe 30, the clamping assembly 40, and the detector 50.

[0043] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 In this invention, the track assembly 20 is disposed on the left or right side of the robot body 10 and is used for movement on underwater mud or ground. This facilitates the movement of the robot body 10 relative to the underwater mud or ground via the track assembly 20, improving the ease of transfer of the robot body 10 relative to the underwater mud or ground. Optionally, two track assemblies 20 are provided, respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the robot body 10. By arranging two track assemblies 20, the stability of the robot body 10 relative to the underwater mud or ground is ensured, improving the transfer stability of the robot body 10 relative to the underwater mud or ground.

[0044] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2In this utility model, the dredging pipe 30 is disposed on the upper side of the robot body 10 and installed on the robot body 10 so that the dredging pipe 30 is fixed to the robot body 10; the inlet of the dredging pipe 30 is connected to a water pump and is used to transport silt and sand so that the underwater mud surface can be transferred through the dredging pipe 30, thereby facilitating the cleaning of silt and sand on the underwater mud surface; the dredging pipe 30 is a transparent pipe so that the user can observe the silt condition inside the dredging pipe 30 from the external environment.

[0045] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2 In this utility model, the clamping assembly 40 includes a first clamping seat 41 and a second clamping seat 42. The second clamping seat 42 is movably connected to the first clamping seat 41 to adjust the position of the second clamping seat 42 relative to the first clamping seat 41. A clamping groove 40a is formed between the second clamping seat 42 and the first clamping seat 41 to clamp the dredging pipe 30, so that the second clamping seat 42 and the first clamping seat 41 can clamp the dredging pipe 30. This makes it easier to make full use of the movement effect between the first clamping seat 41 and the second clamping seat 42, and makes it easier for the first clamping seat 41 and the second clamping seat 42 to be compatible with different models of dredging pipe 30 by movement, avoiding the inability to clamp different models of dredging pipe 30, and improving the versatility of the dredging robot 100.

[0046] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 4 In this utility model, the detector 50 is installed on the second clamping seat 42 or the first clamping seat 41 and is used to detect the mud and sand in the dredging pipe 30. At this time, the detector 50 is set on the inner side of the first clamping seat 41. The detector 50 is installed on the first clamping seat 41 so that the detector 50 can be fixed on the inner side of the first clamping seat 41, thereby making full use of the internal space of the first clamping seat 41. The detector 50 is used to detect the mud and sand in the dredging pipe 30, monitor the mud and sand content in the pipe 30, facilitate the operation of the robot to dredge, and thus improve the dredging efficiency of the dredging robot.

[0047] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 2-4 The second clamping seat 42 is arranged opposite to the first clamping seat 41 so that the second clamping seat 42 and the first clamping seat 41 can move closer or further apart during movement. The outer diameter of the clamping groove 40a is adapted to the outer diameter of the dredging pipe 30 so that the dredging pipe 30 can be accommodated in the clamping groove 40a, thereby facilitating the inner side wall of the clamping groove 40a to abut against the outer side wall of the dredging pipe 30.

[0048] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 2-4The clamping assembly 40 also includes a first connector 43 and a limiting member 44. The first connector 43 is connected to the second clamping seat 42 and passes through the first clamping seat 41, so that the second clamping seat 42 can be connected to the first clamping seat 41 through the first connector 43, ensuring the position of the second clamping seat 42 relative to the first clamping seat 41. The limiting member 44 is disposed on the outside of the first clamping seat 41, and is connected to the first connector 43, limiting the first connector 43, so that the limiting member 44 further limits the position of the second clamping seat 42 relative to the first clamping seat 41, ensuring the clamping effect of the second clamping seat 42 and the first clamping seat 41 relative to the dredging pipe 30, and preventing the second clamping seat 42 and the first clamping seat 41 from separating.

[0049] Optionally, the first connecting member 43 is a first screw; the limiting member 44 is a first nut. The limiting member 44 is screwed to the first connecting member 43 so that the limiting member 44 can be connected to the first connecting member 43 by means of threaded connection, thus ensuring the connection effect between the limiting member 44 and the first connecting member 43.

[0050] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 2-4 The opposing surfaces of the second clamping seat 42 and the first clamping seat 41 are provided with a positioning groove 40b. The inner sidewall of the positioning groove 40b contacts the outer sidewall of the dredging pipe 30 and positions and connects the dredging pipe 30, so that the second clamping seat 42 and the first clamping seat 41 can be positioned and connected to the dredging pipe 30 through the positioning groove 40b. This ensures the positional accuracy of the dredging pipe 30 relative to the second clamping seat 42 and the first clamping seat 41, and improves the clamping effect of the second clamping seat 42 and the first clamping seat 41 relative to the dredging pipe 30. Optionally, the positioning groove 40b is an arc groove so that the inner contour of the positioning groove 40b can be adapted to the outer contour of the dredging pipe 30, thereby facilitating the tight fit between the inner contour of the positioning groove 40b and the outer contour of the dredging pipe 30.

[0051] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 2 The dredging pipe 30 is L-shaped so that the two ends of the dredging pipe 30 face different positions, thereby facilitating the transfer of the extracted sludge to the designated location.

[0052] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 and 5 The dredging robot 100 also includes a hinge assembly 60, which is disposed on the front side of the robot body 10 so as to fix the hinge assembly 60 to the front side of the robot body 10. The hinge assembly 60 is used to gather the mud and sand in front of the water pump connected to the dredging pipe 30, so that the hinge assembly 60 can drive the mud and sand to the front of the water pump connected to the dredging pipe 30, so that the water pump can remove the mud and sand cleanly.

[0053] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 6The hinge assembly 60 includes a housing 61, a power component 62, and two hinge components 63. The housing 61 is oscillatingly connected to the robot body 10 and can swing in the up-down direction to adjust the position of the housing 61 relative to the robot body 10, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height of the housing 61 relative to the robot body 10. The power component 62 and the two hinge components 63 are both located inside the housing 61. The two hinge components 63 are arranged on both sides of the power component 62 and connected to the two output ends of the power component 62. The two hinge components 63 rotate under the drive of the same power component 62, so that the silt is collected in front of the water pump connected to the dredging pipe 30 under the drive of the two hinge components 63, thus realizing the recovery of silt.

[0054] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 6 Each hinge component 63 includes a tube body 631 and a spiral blade 632. The spiral blade 632 is spirally arranged along the length of the tube body 631. The tube body 631 is connected to the output end of the power component 62 so that the tube body 631 can rotate under the drive of the power component 62, thereby facilitating the rotation of the spiral blade 632 with the rotation of the tube body 631, and thus facilitating the cleaning of mud and sand on the underwater mud surface by the spiral blade 632 during the rotation process.

[0055] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 5-6 The spiral blade 632 is arranged at an angle relative to the pipe body 631 and is inclined toward the inlet of the dredging pipe 30 so that the spiral blade 632 can drive the silt in a spiral shape toward the front of the water pump connected to the dredging pipe 30, thereby improving the smoothness of the silt flow and facilitating the pump's suction.

[0056] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 5-6 The tube body 631 is a hollow cavity to reduce its weight, thereby reducing the overall weight of the dredging robot 100. The tube body 631 has a connecting part inside, which is connected to the inner side wall of the tube body 631 and to the output end of the power component 62, so that the hinge component 63 can rotate along its own axis, so that the tube body 631 can be connected to the output end of the power component 62 through the connecting part, thereby facilitating the fixing of the tube body 631 to the output end of the power component 62.

[0057] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 5 The dredging robot 100 also includes a water spraying component 70, which is located on the upper side of the housing 61 and connected to the housing 61 so that the water spraying component 70 can be fixed to the upper side of the housing 61. The water spraying component 70 is used to spray water towards the underwater mud surface or the ground so that the water output by the water spraying component 70 can clean the underwater mud surface. At the same time, the water drives the silt on the underwater mud surface to flow, thereby improving the dredging efficiency.

[0058] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 5The water spraying component 70 has multiple water spray nozzles 70a, which are arranged sequentially along the length of the water spraying component 70. By arranging multiple water spray nozzles 70a, the water spraying area of ​​the water spray nozzles 70a relative to the underwater mud surface is increased, thereby improving the water spraying efficiency of the water spray nozzles 70a relative to the underwater mud surface. The multiple water spray nozzles 70a extend downward at an angle so that the multiple water spray nozzles 70a face the underwater mud surface, thereby facilitating the spraying of water onto the underwater mud surface by the multiple water spray nozzles 70a.

[0059] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0060] This utility model provides a dredging robot 100. A track assembly 20 is disposed on the left or right side of the robot body 10 and is used for underwater mud surface or ground travel. A dredging pipe 30 is installed on the robot body 10. The inlet of the dredging pipe 30 faces the underwater mud surface and is used to extract silt. The dredging pipe 30 is a transparent pipe.

The clamping seat 41 clamps the dredging pipe 30, thereby facilitating full utilization of the movement effect between the first clamping seat 41 and the second clamping seat 42. This allows the first clamping seat 41 and the second clamping seat 42 to move and be compatible with different models of dredging pipe 30, avoiding the inability to clamp different models of dredging pipe 30 and improving the versatility of the dredging robot 100. At the same time, the detector 50 is installed on the second clamping seat 42 or the first clamping seat 41 and is used to detect the silt in the dredging pipe 30, so as to understand the robot's silt suction situation in real time, facilitate the operation of the robot for dredging, and thus improve the dredging efficiency of the dredging robot.
