Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to robot technical field especially relates to a high -efficient cleaning's deep sea net clothes cleaning robot. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a key equipment for fishing and mariculture, deep sea net clothes are subject to the attachment of algae, shellfish and other sediments when submerged in water for a long time. These fouling not only clogs the mesh, increases the weight, reduces the water permeability and the efficiency of the net clothes, but also easily induces the overpopulation of the net clothes organisms, leading to ecological imbalance. If the attached fouling and organisms are not removed in time, they may damage the net structure of the net clothes, cause material aging, and shorten the service life, thereby increasing the cost of replacement and maintenance. At the same time, some microorganisms or parasites in the fouling may spread through the net clothes, threatening the health of nearby mariculture and natural organisms, and bringing adverse effects on the ecological environment. Therefore, regular cleaning of deep sea net clothes is not only a necessary measure to maintain the normal function of the equipment, but also crucial to ensure the sustainability of fishing or mariculture production. Cleaned net clothes can improve the yield and quality of the mariculture farm, reduce unnecessary economic expenditure, and largely avoid ecological risks.

[0003] Currently, the cleaning of deep sea net clothes mainly relies on manual operation or simple mechanical cleaning equipment. However, these traditional methods have significant limitations. First, manual cleaning requires workers to operate in a deep sea environment, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Moreover, it is difficult to achieve comprehensive and meticulous cleaning during the operation process, and the cleaning effect often depends on personal experience, making it difficult to standardize. Manual cleaning also faces safety risks, especially when operating in deep sea, where factors such as underwater pressure, temperature and visibility greatly limit the operating conditions. On the other hand, although mechanical cleaning equipment has improved efficiency and reduced manual burden to some extent, most mechanical equipment is not designed specifically for deep sea environments and is difficult to cope with high pressure, low temperature and complex water flow in deep sea. Existing equipment often lacks sufficient cleaning power when encountering thick or firm layers of fouling, and cannot effectively remove stubborn contaminants such as shellfish and algae attached to the surface of the net clothes, which leaves residual materials on the surface of the net clothes, affecting subsequent fishing and mariculture effects, and needs to be improved.
