[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3This application provides a container system for underwater cleaning. The container system includes a container body 1, a water and electricity supply system 2, and an operating system 3. By integrating the water and electricity supply system 2 and the operating system 3 into the container body 1, it is convenient for overall transportation and on-site operation.

[0028] Specifically, the water and electricity supply system 2 and the operating system 3 are fixedly installed inside the housing 1, and are connected to an external control system so that operators can directly control the operation of the water and electricity supply system 2 and the operating system 3 through the external control system. The water and electricity supply system 2 includes a power supply device 9 and a water supply device, and the operating system 3 includes a hoisting assembly 16, a cable assembly 17, and a cleaning assembly 18. The power supply device 9 is electrically connected to the hoisting assembly 16, the cable assembly 17, and the cleaning assembly 18. The water supply device, the cable assembly 17, and the cleaning assembly 18 are detachably connected in sequence, and the hoisting assembly 16 is detachably connected to the cleaning assembly 18.

[0029] Here, by integrating the water and electricity supply system 2 and the operating system 3 into a single enclosure 1, various functional modules required for underwater cleaning are centrally integrated to form a compact and complete working unit. This avoids the scattered and complex layout of equipment in traditional underwater cleaning operations, reducing the workload of on-site installation and commissioning. The water and electricity supply system 2 and the operating system 3 are respectively connected to an external control system, allowing operators to operate and control the equipment from a safe location away from the work site. For example, the power supply, water pressure, and operating parameters of the cleaning component 18 can be adjusted according to different cleaning tasks and working conditions, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of the cleaning operation and ensuring the safety of operators. This is especially suitable for underwater cleaning operations in hazardous environments or complex conditions.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one specific embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a first storage compartment 4 and a second storage compartment 5. The water and electricity supply system 2 is located in the first storage compartment 4, and the operating system 3 is located in the second storage compartment 5. Several doors 27 are respectively opened on the outer walls of the first storage compartment 4 and the second storage compartment 5 to allow the water and electricity supply system 2 and the operating system 3 to be placed inside the housing 1, and also to facilitate the operation of various equipment installed in the housing 1. The water and electricity supply system 2 involves the transmission and distribution of water and electricity, and there are certain safety risks, such as leakage, short circuit, and water leakage. The operating system 3 requires flexible operation such as moving, rotating, or lifting during operation, and there is a risk of accidental contact with the water and electricity supply system 2 due to operational errors. Therefore, by placing the water and electricity supply system 2 and the operating system 3 in the first storage compartment 4 and the second storage compartment 5 respectively, through physical isolation, mutual interference between them can be effectively reduced, ensuring the normal operation of each system and improving operational safety.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, the cleaning component 18 includes a robot 19 and a pushing device 20. The pushing device 20 is fixedly disposed on the bottom wall of the housing 1, and the robot 19 is placed on the pushing device 20. When it is necessary to release or retrieve the robot 19, the pushing device 20 can be activated to move the area where the robot 19 is placed on the pushing device 20 to the outside of the housing 1, so that the hoisting assembly 16 can lift the robot 19 from the pushing device 20, or place the robot 19 on the pushing device 20, thereby reducing the possibility of accidentally touching other equipment during the process of retrieving or placing the robot 19.

[0032] Specifically, the pushing device 20 includes a support 21, a drive component 22, a guide rail 23, and a placement platform 24 for placing the robot 19. The support 21 and drive component 22 are fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the housing 1. The guide rail 23 is fixed to the two opposite sides of the support 21. The placement platform 24 is slidably connected to the guide rail 23. The drive end of the drive component 22 is fixedly connected to the placement platform 24 to drive it to slide. In this embodiment, two sets of drive components 22 are provided, arranged side-by-side, to ensure sufficient power to drive the placement platform 24 and the robot 19 to slide. In other embodiments, one, three, or four sets of drive components 22 may be provided depending on the actual weight requirements of the placement platform 24 and the robot 19.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the pushing device 20 also includes several fixing blocks 25, which are arranged in a matrix on the placement platform 24. Each fixing block 25 abuts against the front and rear ends of the robot 19 along its forward direction. In this embodiment, four fixing blocks 25 are used, and the side of each fixing block 25 that abuts against the front and rear ends of the track has an abutment slope 26 adapted to the shape of the track. When the robot 19 is placed on the placement platform 24, the abutment slopes 26 of the four fixing blocks 25 abut against the front and rear ends of the tracks on both sides of the robot 19, and the abutment surfaces adjacent to the abutment slopes 26 abut against the outer side of the track, thus restricting the position of the robot 19 and preventing it from falling off the placement platform 24 or the container during movement. In other embodiments, the fixing blocks 25 can be replaced with fixing frames, fixing strips, or other structures to limit the movement of the robot 19.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, the water supply equipment includes a water pump 10, a filter 11, a water tank 12, and a high-pressure water pump 13 connected in sequence. The water pump 10 is connected to an external water source, and the high-pressure water pump 13 is connected to a cleaning assembly 18. Through the coordinated operation of the water pump 10, the filter 11, the water tank 12, and the high-pressure water pump 13, the water supply equipment provides a stable, clean water source with suitable pressure for underwater cleaning operations.

[0035] To address this, the water pump 10 draws water from an external water source (such as a river or seawater) to provide a sufficient water supply for the entire cleaning operation. The filter 11 filters the pumped water, removing impurities such as silt, particles, and plankton, which helps protect subsequent equipment, such as preventing blockage of the water tank 12 and wear on the high-pressure water pump 13. It also prevents impurities from entering the cleaning assembly 18 with the water flow, affecting the cleaning effect or causing scratches or damage to the surface of the object being cleaned. The water tank 12 stores the filtered water, acting as a buffer and regulating the water volume. On the one hand, it ensures a continuous water supply to the high-pressure water pump 13 when the external water supply is unstable or the water pressure is insufficient; on the other hand, it allows the container system to operate independently for a certain period, unaffected by sudden changes in the external water source. The high-pressure water pump 13 pressurizes the water in the water tank 12, outputting it to the cleaning assembly 18 at high pressure. The high-pressure water has a powerful impact, effectively removing dirt, algae, and other deposits from the surface of underwater objects, improving cleaning efficiency and quality, and ensuring that the cleaning work achieves the expected results.

[0036] Furthermore, the water supply equipment also includes a frequency converter cabinet 14 and a power cabinet 15, both electrically connected to the high-pressure water pump 13. The frequency converter cabinet 14 can precisely adjust the speed of the high-pressure water pump 13 motor by changing the power supply frequency. This is because different cleaning tasks and objects may require different water pressures and volumes during underwater cleaning operations. Adjusting the motor speed in real time according to actual water demand prevents the high-pressure water pump 13 from running at full speed when high power is not required, thus effectively reducing energy consumption. The power cabinet 15 provides centralized power distribution and control functions for the high-pressure water pump 13 and related equipment, rationally distributing the electrical energy input from the power supply equipment 9 to provide a stable power supply for the high-pressure water pump 13, frequency converter cabinet 14, and other equipment. The power cabinet 15 can also monitor various parameters of the power system in real time, such as voltage, current, and power factor. By monitoring these parameters, operators can promptly understand the operating status of the power supply system and determine if there are any abnormal power conditions.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, several cooling fans 6 are provided on the side wall of the enclosure 1, and a door 27 is rotatably connected to the side of the cooling fans 6 away from the enclosure 1. Several air vents are provided on the door 27 to prevent external water from entering the enclosure 1 through the cooling fans 6. Since the enclosure 1 integrates the water and electricity supply system 2 and the operating system 3, the power supply equipment 9, frequency converter cabinet 14, power cabinet 15, and various motors in these systems generate a large amount of heat during operation. The cooling fans 6 can promptly exhaust the hot air inside the enclosure 1 and introduce cool air from the outside, keeping the temperature inside the enclosure 1 within a reasonable range, preventing the equipment from degrading due to overheating, thereby extending the overall service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the top wall of the container body 1 is provided with a plurality of lifting rings 7 at intervals. These lifting rings 7 provide reliable connection points for the overall lifting of the container using cranes, hoists, or other lifting equipment. When transporting the container system to different underwater cleaning operation sites, the entire container can be easily lifted and placed onto transport vehicles, ships, or other means of transport by connecting the hook of the lifting equipment to the lifting rings 7 on the top wall of the container body 1, enabling convenient long-distance or short-distance transportation. Simultaneously, the multiple lifting rings 7 ensure that the container body 1 remains balanced and stable during lifting, facilitating operators to accurately lift the container to the designated location.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, a plurality of barrier strips 8 are also fixed to the bottom of the container body 1. The barrier strips 8 are positioned between the bottom of the container body 1 and the contact surface, reducing direct contact between the container body 1 and the ground or other objects, thereby preventing wear on the bottom of the container body 1 and extending its service life. Furthermore, underwater cleaning operations are typically conducted in humid environments, sometimes with standing water. The barrier strips 8 isolate the bottom of the container body 1 from the damp ground or standing water, reducing contact between moisture and the bottom of the container body 1, and lowering the risk of corrosion to the container body 1 and its internal equipment. Moreover, if a forklift is used to move the container system, the forklift's forks can be inserted into the gap between the barrier strips 8 and the ground, facilitating the lifting and handling of the container.

[0040] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
