Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture service technology, specifically to an integrated intelligent aquaculture service robot that combines management, investment, and control. Background Technology

[0002] The integrated intelligent fishery service robot is a new type of equipment developed to meet the needs of modern intelligent fishery automation and intelligence. Its core is to integrate functions such as water quality monitoring, feed delivery, and equipment control in aquaculture. By being equipped with sensors, actuators, and control systems, it can achieve real-time monitoring and precise operation of the aquaculture water environment. It aims to solve the problems of low efficiency, data lag, and extensive operation in traditional artificial aquaculture, and improve the scientific and intensive level of fishery production.

[0003] However, when existing integrated intelligent fishery service robots are operating underwater, the camera surface is easily covered or entangled by impurities such as aquatic plants, suspended matter, and algae, which obstructs the field of vision, distorts water quality monitoring data, and blurs the images of fish activities. This affects the aquaculture personnel's judgment of the aquatic environment and the accuracy of feeding and fishing operations. In addition, the equipment needs to be cleaned frequently by humans, which increases the operation and maintenance costs and operational risks.

[0004] To address these issues, we designed an integrated intelligent fishery service robot that combines management, control, and distribution. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated intelligent fishery service robot that combines management, control, and deployment to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an integrated intelligent fishery service robot, including a mounting plate. A cleaning mechanism is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate. The cleaning mechanism includes a motor. An active bevel gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The active bevel gear meshes with a driven bevel gear. A half-gear is coaxially connected to the bottom of the driven bevel gear. The half-gear meshes with a drive gear.

[0007] A mounting ring is provided below the drive gear. The top and bottom of the mounting ring are rotatably connected to a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the drive gear. A camera is provided at the center of the mounting ring. A scraper is provided between the mounting ring and the camera. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the scraper. The inner side of the scraper contacts the camera. A torsion spring is fixedly connected between the top of the drive gear and the bottom of the mounting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the scraper has a semi-circular ring structure.

[0009] Furthermore, drive blades are rotatably connected to both sides of the mounting plate, and a monitoring box and a storage box are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate. A material conveying pipe is connected to one side of the storage box.

[0010] Furthermore, the scraper is made of silicone rubber.

[0011] Furthermore, the scraper has anti-slip serrations on the side that contacts the camera.

[0012] Furthermore, the transmission blades are made of stainless steel.

[0013] Furthermore, a support rod is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting plate on one side of the monitoring box. The support rod has an L-shaped structure, and a stamped tube is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the torsion spring is made of spring steel.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. By starting the motor, its output end drives the active bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the scraper to rotate around the camera, scraping away impurities on the camera surface. When one half of the gear rotates to the toothless part and disengages from the drive gear, the torsion spring recovers its elastic potential energy and uses the elastic force to drive the drive gear to rotate in the opposite direction. The scraper is then reset to its initial position through the rotating shaft, completing the cleaning operation. This avoids the camera surface being obstructed by impurities such as aquatic plants, suspended matter, and algae, reducing the occurrence of water quality monitoring data distortion and blurry images of fish activity. It also improves the accuracy of aquaculture personnel's judgment of the aquatic environment and their feeding and harvesting operations.

[0017] 2. By starting the air pump, high-pressure airflow is output and enters the stamping pipe through the air supply pipe, which generates an impact force on the impurities near the camera. Combined with the mechanical scraping function of the scraper, the cleaning effect on the camera is further improved, avoiding frequent manual retrieval and reducing maintenance costs and operational risks.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an integrated intelligent fishery service robot for control and deployment, including a mounting plate 1, a cleaning mechanism installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 1, the cleaning mechanism including a motor 12, an active bevel gear 7 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 12, a driven bevel gear 11 meshing with the active bevel gear 7, a half-gear 13 coaxially connected to the bottom of the driven bevel gear 11, and a drive gear 14 meshing with the half-gear 13.

[0025] Below the drive gear 14 is a mounting ring 16. The top and bottom of the mounting ring 16 are rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 15 via bearings. The rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 14. A camera 9 is located at the center of the mounting ring 16. A scraper 17 is located between the mounting ring 16 and the camera 9. The scraper 17 has a semi-circular ring structure and is made of silicone rubber. The rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the scraper 17. The inner side of the scraper 17 contacts the camera 9, and the side of the scraper 17 that contacts the camera 9 has anti-slip teeth. A torsion spring 6 is fixedly connected between the top of the drive gear 14 and the bottom of the mounting plate 1. The torsion spring 6 is made of spring steel.

[0026] In practice, when it is necessary to clean the surface of the camera 9, the motor 12 is started, and its output end drives the active bevel gear 7 to rotate. The active bevel gear 7 meshes with the driven bevel gear 11, which in turn drives the half gear 13 coaxially connected to the bottom of the driven bevel gear 11 to rotate. The half gear 13 meshes with the drive gear 14, causing the drive gear 14 to start rotating. The rotating shaft 15 below the drive gear 14 rotates synchronously with it, thereby driving the scraper 17 to rotate around the camera 9. The anti-slip teeth on the contact surface of the scraper 17 and the camera 9 scrape away the obstructions on the surface of the camera 9. When the half gear 13 rotates to the toothless part and disengages from the drive gear 14, the torsion spring 6 between the top of the drive gear 14 and the bottom of the mounting plate 1 restores its elastic potential energy. The elastic force drives the drive gear 14 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the scraper 17 is reset to the initial position through the rotating shaft 15, thus completing the cleaning operation of the obstructions on the surface of the camera 9.

[0027] See Figures 1-4 As shown, drive blades 2 are rotatably connected to both sides of the mounting plate 1 via rotating shafts. The drive blades 2 are made of stainless steel and are driven by a propulsion motor built into the mounting plate 1. The output shaft of the propulsion motor is fixed coaxially with the blade shaft, and the rotation generates propulsion force. The controller in the monitoring box 3 controls the speed of the propulsion motor through electrical connection. The robot's direction is controlled by the speed difference between the two blades, realizing integrated control of power and direction. The monitoring box 3 and the storage box 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 1. The monitoring box 3 has built-in water quality sensors, cameras and other equipment to monitor water environment parameters (such as dissolved oxygen, water temperature, pH value) and fish activity status in real time, providing data support for fisheries management. A feed pipe 5 is connected to one side of the storage box 4. A valve is installed on the feed pipe 5. When the valve is opened, the feed in the storage box 4 is transported through the feed pipe 5 to achieve feeding.

[0028] See Figures 1-4 The mounting plate 1 is located on the top of one side of the monitoring box 3 and is rotatably connected to the support rod 8 via the rotating shaft B. The two ends of the rotating shaft are fixed in the pre-set shaft holes on the top of the mounting plate 1. The support rod 8 can rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft to adjust the angle. The support rod 8 has an L-shaped structure. The bottom end of the support rod 8 is fixedly connected to the stamping pipe 10. The stamping pipe 10 is externally connected to the air pump installed on the top of the mounting plate 1 through the air supply pipe. The high-pressure airflow output by the air pump enters the stamping pipe 10 through the air supply pipe and is ejected through the jet nozzle on the side wall of the stamping pipe 10. This generates an impact force on the water plants, suspended matter and other impurities near the camera 9, causing them to move away from the surface of the camera 9. Combined with the mechanical scraping function of the scraper 17, this further improves the cleaning effect on the camera 9, keeps the camera 9's field of vision clear, and avoids impurities from obstructing the accuracy of the monitoring data.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] When it is necessary to clean the surface of the camera 9, the motor 12 is started, and its output end drives the active bevel gear 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the half gear 13 to rotate. The rotating shaft 15 below the drive gear 14 rotates synchronously with it, causing the scraper 17 to rotate around the camera 9. The anti-slip teeth on the contact surface of the scraper 17 with the camera 9 scrape away the obstructions on the surface of the camera 9. When the half gear 13 rotates to the toothless part and disengages from the drive gear 14, the torsion spring 6 between the top of the drive gear 14 and the bottom of the mounting plate 1 restores its elastic potential energy. The elastic force drives the drive gear 14 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the scraper 17 is reset to the initial position through the rotating shaft 15, thus completing the cleaning operation of the obstructions on the surface of the camera 9.

[0031] When there are many impurities such as aquatic plants and suspended objects near the camera 9, the air pump is activated. The high-pressure airflow output by the air pump enters the pressurization pipe 10 through the air supply pipe. The high-speed airflow is ejected through the jet nozzle on the side wall of the pressurization pipe 10, which generates an impact force on the aquatic plants, suspended objects and other impurities near the camera 9, causing them to move away from the surface of the camera 9. Combined with the mechanical scraping function of the scraper 17, the cleaning effect on the camera 9 is further improved, and the camera 9 maintains a clear field of vision.

[0032] The propulsion motor drives the transmission blades 2 to rotate, generating propulsion force and driving the robot to move in the water. The controller in the monitoring box 3 controls the speed of the propulsion motor through electrical connection and controls the robot's direction of travel by using the speed difference of the transmission blades 2 on both sides. The water quality sensors, cameras and other equipment built into the monitoring box 3 monitor the water environment parameters and fish activity status in real time. The valve is opened and the feed in the storage box 4 is delivered through the feed pipe 5 to realize feeding.

[0033] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
