[0029] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As an embodiment of this utility model, a dock cleaning robot includes a traveling device 1 and a cleaning device 2. The traveling device 1 includes a traveling mechanism 11 and a support platform 12, with the support platform 12 located on top of the traveling mechanism 11. The cleaning device 2 includes a water tank 21 and a spraying mechanism 22. The water tank 21 is fixed on the support platform 12 and has an inlet 211 and an outlet 212. The spraying mechanism 22 includes a spray gun 221, a first adjusting member 222, and a second adjusting member 223. The spray gun 221 is connected to the outlet 212. The first adjusting member 222 adjusts the spraying mechanism 22 to rotate in a first direction, and the second adjusting member 223 adjusts the spraying mechanism 22 to rotate in a second direction. The plane containing the first direction is perpendicular to the plane containing the second direction.

[0031] The traveling mechanism 11 can move the robot as a whole, facilitating its movement to a designated location in the dock for cleaning operations. During cleaning, the spray gun 221 is activated, drawing water from the water tank 21 for spraying. Simultaneously, the first adjusting member 222 and the second adjusting member 223 adjust the spray direction of the spray gun 221, enabling automatic up-and-down or left-and-right sweeping cleaning. The cleaning robot of this application can reduce manpower requirements, improve work efficiency, and promote automated control in ship maintenance processes.

[0032] Specifically, the spray gun 221 is connected to the water outlet 212 via a connecting pipe 23. The connecting pipe 23 includes a first pipe body 231, a second pipe body 232, and a third pipe body 233 connected in sequence. One end of the first pipe body 231 is connected to the water inlet 211, and one end of the third pipe body 233 is connected to the spray gun 221. A first adjusting member 222 is located on one side of the first pipe body 231. A second adjusting member 223 is located on one side of the third pipe body 233. One end of the first pipe body 231 is rotatably connected to the water inlet 211, and one end of the third pipe body 233 is rotatably connected to the second pipe body 232. The rotation plane of the first pipe body 231 is perpendicular to the rotation plane of the third pipe body 233. Both the first adjusting member 222 and the second adjusting member 223 are swing cylinders. By swinging the swing cylinders, the position of the water outlet of the third pipe body 233 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the up-and-down or left-and-right sweeping cleaning function of the spray gun 221. The connections between the first pipe body 231, the second pipe body 232, and the third pipe body 233 are all achieved through flanges.

[0033] In other embodiments, the first adjusting member 222 and the second adjusting member 223 may also be drive motors, and the swing adjustment of the injection mechanism 22 may be realized through transmission components such as gears and reduction gearboxes.

[0034] Furthermore, the second tube 232 is a U-shaped bend, which makes the arrangement of the injection mechanism 22 more compact and occupies less space.

[0035] In this embodiment, the top surface of the water tank 21 is a horizontal plane, and an outlet 212 is provided at the top of the water tank 21. One end of the first pipe 231 is rotatably connected to the outlet 212, and the first adjusting member 222 adjusts the first pipe 231 to rotate along a first direction. The first direction is a horizontal direction, meaning the rotation adjustment is performed within the plane containing the top surface of the water tank 21. One end of the third pipe 233 is rotatably connected to the second pipe 232, and the second adjusting member 223 adjusts the third pipe 233 to rotate along a second direction. The second direction is a pitch direction, meaning the rotation adjustment is performed within the plane containing the connection between the third pipe 233 and the second pipe 232. The rotation plane of the first pipe 231 is perpendicular to the rotation plane of the third pipe 233.

[0036] Furthermore, the water tank 21 is equipped with lifting lugs 213 at the corners of its top, facilitating the overall entry into the dock by a hoisting robot. The spray gun 221 is equipped with an electrically controlled valve 224, which can be opened and closed by the operator via remote control, thereby controlling the flow of flushing water.

[0037] Specifically, the first adjusting member 222 and the second adjusting member 223 are wirelessly connected to the remote controller, allowing the remote controller to control their start and stop. The traveling mechanism 11 is also wirelessly connected to the remote controller, allowing the remote controller to control its start and stop. The remote controller uses wireless communication technology to achieve remote control of the robot. The remote controller interface is simple and intuitive, making it easy for operators to quickly master. Through the remote controller, the operator can control the robot's movement, steering, flushing water switch, and the up / down and left / right sweeping cleaning functions of the spray gun 221.

[0038] In this embodiment, the traveling mechanism 11 adopts a track structure. The internal structure of the track is made of all-metal frame material, and the outer layer is made of high-temperature resistant rubber material, ensuring stability and durability during movement. The traveling mechanism 11 is driven by a power system, mainly a drive motor, which provides continuous power through a lithium battery. The water inlet 211 of the water tank 21 is equipped with a quick connector, which allows for quick insertion and removal of the water pipe for water replenishment, saving time and effort. The support platform 12 is made of high-strength metal material to support the cleaning device 2.

[0039] The process of using the dock cleaning robot in this embodiment is as follows:

[0040] Before the cleaning operation, the operator will move the robot into the designated location in the dock by hoisting or driving itself.

[0041] During the cleaning operation, the operator starts the robot via a wireless remote control, adjusts the moving speed of the traveling mechanism 11, controls the adjustment of the first adjusting component 222 and the second adjusting component 223, and continuously changes the spray direction of the spray gun 221 to realize the automatic up-down or left-right sweeping cleaning function of the spray gun 221.

[0042] After the cleaning operation is completed, the operator controls the robot to return to the starting position via remote control or to leave the dock by hoisting.

[0043] The cleaning robot described in this application can reduce manpower requirements, improve operational efficiency, and promote automated control in ship maintenance processes.

[0044] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
