Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of deck inspection technology, specifically relating to an intelligent ship deck inspection vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of the shipbuilding industry and the continuous expansion of ship sizes, ship inspection standards are becoming increasingly stringent. Traditional manual inspection methods, such as visual inspection, impact testing, and the application of penetrants, are not only slow but also fail to comprehensively cover all areas of the hull, easily creating blind spots in those hidden, inaccessible, and difficult-to-observe areas. Furthermore, the accuracy of manual inspection is easily affected by subjective factors such as the skill level and physical condition of the inspectors, leading to frequent deviations in results and a significantly increased risk of overlooking critical issues. Clearly, traditional inspection methods are no longer sufficient to meet the modern shipbuilding industry's dual demands for both timeliness and accuracy.
[0003] Remote-controlled vehicles are also used to inspect ship shore power systems. For example, patent number CN202122499193.8, titled "A Remote-Controlled Vehicle for Inspecting Ship Shore Power Systems," includes an inspection vehicle, a camera bracket, and a camera. A cleaning roller is installed on the camera to clean it and extend its service life. However, this type of inspection equipment has a limited inspection range and is prone to blind spots, which may lead to some safety hazards not being detected in time and causing malfunctions.
