Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underwater robot technology, specifically to a clear vision device for underwater robots. Background Technology

[0002] Underwater robots, also known as unmanned remotely operated vehicles, are robots that perform extreme tasks underwater. The underwater environment is harsh and dangerous, and the diving depth of humans is limited, so underwater robots have become an important tool for ocean development. Underwater robots can be mainly divided into two types: tethered underwater robots and untethered underwater robots. Tethered underwater robots are further divided into three types: self-propelled underwater robots, towed underwater robots, and robots that can crawl on seabed structures.

[0003] According to a utility model patent with Chinese patent application number 202122543949.4, a camera device and an underwater cleaning robot are used to acquire underwater images and have the advantage of clear imaging. However, the camera device and the underwater cleaning robot do not have a clear imaging device during use. The camera of the underwater robot is not equipped with a protective function. When the water is turbid, the lens is easily hit by solid objects, causing damage to the lens. Furthermore, it is not easy to focus and observe when close to the object being observed. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a clear vision device for underwater robots to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a clear vision device for underwater robots, which has the advantages of protecting the underwater robot's lens and solves the problem of the lack of lens protection for underwater robots in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the aforementioned purpose of protecting the lens of an underwater robot, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an underwater robot vision clearing device, including an underwater robot body, a lens body disposed on the right side of the underwater robot body, a fixing ring disposed around the lens body, a protective cover disposed inside the fixing ring, a cleaning component movably mounted on the outside of the protective cover, a filter component disposed outside the protective cover, and a UV lens disposed inside the right side of the protective cover;

[0006] The filter assembly includes a first filter layer, the outermost part of the protective cover is provided with the first filter layer, the rear side of the first filter layer is provided with a second filter layer, the rear side of the second filter layer is provided with a third filter layer, and the rear side of the third filter layer is provided with a fourth filter layer.

[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning component includes a miniature drive motor, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixing ring. A gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the miniature drive motor, and an external gear ring meshes with each other on the outer surface of the gear. A rotating ring is movably mounted on the outside of the protective cover, and a cleaning plate is provided on the inner wall of the rotating ring.

[0008] Furthermore, ball bearings are provided on both the left and right sides of the rotating ring, and the ball bearings of the rotating ring cylinder are slidably installed on the outside of the protective cover, and an annular sealing ring is provided at the contact surface between the rotating ring and the protective cover.

[0009] Furthermore, the underwater robot body is externally fixedly equipped with a forward and backward moving component and a vertical moving component, and a light is provided on the right side of the vertical moving component.

[0010] Furthermore, the lens body and the UV lens are on the same horizontal line, and the protective cover is transparent.

[0011] Furthermore, the first and second filter layers are filter screens with different pore sizes, and the third and fourth filter layers are PP cotton layers.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This underwater robot's clear vision device, by incorporating a UV lens, provides initial protection for the lens body when the protective cover is sealed to the right side of the fixing ring during use. This prevents the lens body from being damaged by collisions in turbid water. The lens body observes the surrounding environment through the UV lens, which protects the lens from scratches and impacts and reduces light reflection from the water surface, thus further enhancing the clarity of the lens's observation.

[0014] This underwater robot's clear vision device, through the installation of a filtration system, utilizes a first, second, third, and fourth filtration layer to further filter the water during use. This allows cleaner water to enter the protective housing, preventing turbid water from affecting the lens's observation of objects in the water. Furthermore, the cleaning component, by activating a micro-drive motor, causes a gear to mesh with an external gear ring, which in turn rotates a ring. This ring, in turn, rotates a cleaning plate to clean the UV lens, improving the lens's observation quality. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 The underwater robot vision clear device in this embodiment includes an underwater robot body 1, a lens body 2 is provided on the right side of the underwater robot body 1, a fixing ring 3 is provided around the lens body 2, a protective cover 4 is provided inside the fixing ring 3, a cleaning component 6 is movably installed on the outside of the protective cover 4, a filter component 8 is provided on the outside of the protective cover 4, and a UV lens 5 is provided on the right side inside the protective cover 4.

[0022] The filter assembly 8 includes a first filter layer 801. The outermost part of the protective cover 4 is provided with the first filter layer 801. The rear side of the first filter layer 801 is provided with a second filter layer 802. The rear side of the second filter layer 802 is provided with a third filter layer 803. The rear side of the third filter layer 803 is provided with a fourth filter layer 804.

[0023] In the implementation of the case, by setting up a UV lens 5, when in use, the protective cover 4 is sealed and connected to the right side of the fixing ring 3. At this time, the protective cover 4 and the UV lens 5 can initially protect the lens body 2, so that the lens body 2 will not be damaged by collision in the turbid water environment. The lens body 2 observes the surrounding environment through the UV lens 5. The UV lens 5 can protect the lens from scratches and impacts, and reduce the reflection of light on the water surface, so that the observation of the lens body 2 can be clearer.

[0024] Furthermore, by setting up the filter assembly 8, the water can be further filtered during use through the setting of the first filter layer 801, the second filter layer 802, the third filter layer 803 and the fourth filter layer 804, so that relatively clean water enters the protective cover 4, avoiding the turbid water from affecting the observation effect of the lens body 2 on objects in the water.

[0025] In the implementation of the case, the cleaning component 6 is set up so that by activating the micro drive motor 601, the output shaft of the micro drive motor 601 will drive the gear 602 to mesh with the external gear ring 604, thereby driving the rotating ring 603 to rotate. The rotating ring 603 can further drive the cleaning plate 605 to rotate, clean the UV lens 5, and improve the observation quality of the lens body 2 on the observed object.

[0026] When implementing this procedure, please follow these steps:

[0027] 1) First, the underwater robot body 1 is lowered into the water by the up-and-down moving component 10;

[0028] 2) Then, it moves back and forth in the water body by means of the forward and backward moving component 9;

[0029] 3) The water is then filtered through the filter assembly 8 to make the water entering the protective cover 4 clearer;

[0030] 4) Finally, the UV lens 5 is cleaned using the cleaning component 6.

[0031] In summary, this underwater robot's clear vision device, by incorporating a UV lens 5, provides initial protection for the lens body 2 when the protective cover 4 is sealed to the right side of the fixing ring 3 during use. This prevents the lens body 2 from being damaged by collisions in turbid water. The lens body 2 observes the surrounding environment through the UV lens 5, which protects the lens from scratches and impacts and reduces light reflection from the water surface, thus further enhancing the clarity of the observation by the lens body 2.

[0032] Furthermore, by setting up the filter assembly 8, during use, the water can be further filtered through the first filter layer 801, the second filter layer 802, the third filter layer 803, and the fourth filter layer 804, allowing relatively clean water to enter the protective cover 4. This prevents turbid water from affecting the observation effect of the lens body 2 on objects in the water. In addition, the cleaning assembly 6, by activating the micro drive motor 601, will drive the gear 602 to mesh with the external gear ring 604, thereby driving the rotating ring 603 to rotate. This allows the rotating ring 603 to further drive the cleaning plate 605 to rotate, cleaning the UV lens 5 and improving the observation quality of the lens body 2 on the observed object.
