[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-cleaning device for a dredging robot, comprising a robot body and a main station. The robot body and the main station are connected by a connecting pipeline harness. A high-pressure pump is installed at one end of the main station. The outlet end of the high-pressure pump is connected to a T-joint. The other two ends of the T-joint are respectively connected to two cleaning water pipes and a high-pressure pipeline via ball valves. One end of the cleaning water pipe away from the T-joint is connected to a handheld cleaning water gun, and the other end of the cleaning water pipe away from the T-joint is connected to a fixed cleaning nozzle.

[0014] Preferably, the ball valve is an electrically controlled valve, and the ball valve is electrically connected to the remote control unit.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] (1) Based on the high-pressure pump function of the main station, this utility model uses a three-way connector to split the high-pressure water outlet into two paths. One path is connected to the high-pressure pipeline of the sludge removal robot flushing pipeline, and the other path is connected to the cleaning water pipe connecting the handheld cleaning water gun and the fixed cleaning nozzle. A ball valve is added at each interface to realize the opening and closing function. Under normal working conditions, the ball valve of the high-pressure pipeline is opened and the ball valve of the cleaning water pipe is closed. When cleaning the equipment after the operation is completed, the ball valve of the cleaning water pipe is opened and the ball valve of the high-pressure pipeline is closed, thereby realizing the cleaning of the sludge removal robot and pipeline without adding extra equipment.
[0017] (2) This utility model has a wide range of applications and can be used for cleaning of various specifications of dredging robots, making it more adaptable.
[0018] (3) This utility model is easy to operate. The cleaning robot can be achieved by simply controlling the ball valve to switch the water path.

[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 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a self-cleaning device for a dredging robot, including a robot body 1 and a host station 4. The robot body 1 and the host station 4 are connected by a connecting pipeline harness 3, which includes a hydraulic pipeline, a high-pressure water pipe and a control signal cable, to facilitate the oil circuit connection, water circuit connection and electrical connection between the host station 4 and the robot body 1. A high-pressure pump 7 is installed at one end inside the host station 4. The outlet end of the high-pressure pump 7 is connected to a three-way connector 8. The other two ends of the three-way connector 8 are respectively connected to two cleaning water pipes 10 and a high-pressure pipeline 6 through ball valves 9. One end of the cleaning water pipe 10 away from the three-way connector 8 is connected to a handheld cleaning water gun 11, and the other end of the cleaning water pipe 10 away from the three-way connector 8 is connected to a fixed cleaning nozzle 12.
[0025] A hydraulic control box 2 is installed at one end of the top of the robot body 1, and a slurry pump and a mixer are installed at the front of the robot body 1 in the forward direction. The slurry pump is driven to rotate by a high-speed hydraulic motor and the mixer is driven to rotate by a low-speed motor to transport the slurry over a long distance at high speed and high pressure, so as to realize the dredging operation.
[0026] The main station 4 includes a power system, a hydraulic station, an electrical control system, a pipeline winding system, and a remote control unit. The remote control unit is electrically connected to the hydraulic actuator inside the hydraulic control box 2.
[0027] In the above technical solution, when the dredging robot is working, the remote control unit sends an electrical signal to the hydraulic actuator in the hydraulic control box 2 to control the robot body 1 to work and move. The movement of the robot body 1 drives the slurry pump to move and transport the slurry over a long distance, thereby carrying out dredging operations.
[0028] When the dredging robot needs to be cleaned, the ball valve 9 connected to the cleaning water pipe 10 is opened by controlling the remote control unit, and the ball valve 9 connected to the high pressure pipeline 6 is closed. The high pressure pump 7 works to deliver pressurized water to the cleaning water pipe 10, so that the dredging robot and the recycling pipeline can be cleaned by hand-held cleaning water gun 11 and fixed cleaning nozzle 12, which is convenient to use.
[0029] Furthermore, a hook is provided on one outer wall of the main station 4, and the handheld cleaning water gun 11 is suspended on the hook for easy storage and placement. The cleaning water pipe 10 connected to the handheld cleaning water gun 11 is coiled on the side wall of the main station 4 near the lower part of the handheld cleaning water gun 11 to prevent the cleaning water pipe 10 from being scattered. The staff can clean the dredging robot by moving the handheld cleaning water gun 11.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixed cleaning nozzle 12 is fixed on the outer wall of the other side of the main station 4, and the fixed cleaning nozzle 12 facilitates the flushing of the recovered pipes.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a pipe winch 5 is installed at the upper part of the main station 4. The high-pressure pipe 6 is wound on the pipe winch 5, and the connecting pipe bundle 3 is also wound on the pipe winch 5. The high-pressure pipe 6 is used to flush the dredging area.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the ball valve 9 are equipped with mating connectors 13. The ball valve 9 is an electrically controlled valve and is electrically connected to the remote control unit. The opening and closing of the ball valve 9 can be remotely controlled by the remote control unit, without the need for manual opening and closing.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
