Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture cleaning equipment technology, specifically to an underwater suction and cleaning robot for aquaculture ponds. Background Technology

[0002] In aquaculture, farmers often overfeed in pursuit of high yields, leading to a large accumulation of uneaten feed and aquatic animal excrement at the bottom of the pond. During decomposition, this waste consumes dissolved oxygen in the water and releases harmful gases such as ammonia nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide, causing water quality deterioration. Furthermore, the decomposition of animal remains can cause frequent disease outbreaks and potentially large-scale mortality of farmed animals. The decomposition of these remains produces bottom sludge, which can cause secondary pollution during dissolution and release. Therefore, timely cleaning of bottom sludge and pollutants in aquaculture ponds is of paramount importance.

[0003] However, traditional dredging methods in existing technologies are inefficient, and manual dredging is labor-intensive and costly. It requires draining the water from the aquaculture pond before cleaning, and it is difficult to completely remove silt and pollutants from the bottom of the pond. Refilling the pond with water also requires raising the water temperature to the rated level, increasing production costs. Some advanced cleaning technologies have low adoption rates in aquaculture due to their high cost, complex operation, or high skill requirements.

[0004] Therefore, how to achieve efficient cleaning of pollutants in aquaculture ponds is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides an underwater vacuum cleaning robot for aquaculture ponds, including: a frame and cleaning devices fixed at both ends of the bottom of the frame, with horizontal thrusters arranged near the cleaning devices; brushing devices are arranged on both sides of the frame, and the brushing devices on both sides are coaxially fixed to one side of a fixed plate inside the frame, with a vertical thruster arranged on the other side of the fixed plate; the cleaning devices, horizontal thrusters, brushing devices and vertical thrusters are all electrically connected to a controller.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device includes a vacuum cleaner and a drain pipe. The bottom of the vacuum cleaner is provided with a cleaning suction port, the top of the vacuum cleaner is connected to the drain pipe, one end of the drain pipe is connected to the top of the vacuum cleaner, and the other end of the drain pipe is connected to a sludge storage tank outside the aquaculture pond. The control terminal of the vacuum cleaner is electrically connected to the controller.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the scrubbing device includes a telescopic arm disposed on one side of the fixed plate, with a cleaning brush holder disposed at each end of the telescopic arm, and a cleaning brush and a positioning wheel disposed on the cleaning brush holder, the end of the cleaning brush protruding from the travel surface of the positioning wheel.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the frame is provided with a lateral adjustment slot, and the vacuum cleaner is provided with a slider, which is slidably connected to the lateral adjustment slot.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the frame is provided with support wheels, which are electrically connected to the rotation output end of a torque motor mounted on the chassis of the cleaning robot.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the cleaning robot has a built-in waterproof battery pack.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention utilizes a horizontal propeller to drive a cleaning robot within an aquaculture pond. Its onboard cleaning device sweeps away dirt from the pond bottom, while a scrubbing device simultaneously cleans the pond walls. The telescopic arm within the scrubbing device also assists the robot in underwater positioning, ensuring thorough and non-repetitive cleaning of the entire pond area, thus guaranteeing effective cleaning.

[0022] The present solution will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an underwater vacuum cleaning robot for aquaculture ponds provided in an embodiment of this application. (See attached diagram.) Figure 1 This embodiment discloses an underwater vacuum cleaning robot for aquaculture ponds, comprising a frame 2 and cleaning devices fixed to both ends of the bottom of the frame 2. A horizontal thruster 3 is positioned near the cleaning devices, and brushing devices are positioned on both sides of the frame 2. The brushing devices on both sides are coaxially fixed to one side of a fixed plate inside the frame, and a vertical thruster 10 is positioned on the other side of the fixed plate. The cleaning devices, horizontal thrusters 3, brushing devices, and vertical thrusters 10 are all electrically connected to a controller inside the vacuum cleaning robot. In this embodiment, the vertical thruster 10, cleaning devices, horizontal thrusters 3, brushing devices, and vertical thrusters 10 are all designed to be waterproof.

[0024] See Figures 2 to 4 In this embodiment, the cleaning device includes a vacuum cleaner 5 and a drain pipe 7. The bottom of the vacuum cleaner 5 is provided with a cleaning suction port 9. The top of the vacuum cleaner 5 is connected to the drain pipe 7. One end of the drain pipe 7 is connected to the top of the vacuum cleaner 5, and the other end of the drain pipe 7 is connected to the sludge storage tank 12 outside the breeding pond. The control end of the vacuum cleaner 5 is electrically connected to the controller inside the vacuum cleaning robot.

[0025] join Figure 5 In this embodiment, the frame 2 is provided with a horizontal adjustment slot, and the vacuum cleaner 5 is provided with a slider 11, which is slidably connected to the horizontal adjustment slot.

[0026] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the scrubbing device includes a telescopic arm 1 set on one side of the fixed plate. A cleaning brush fixing frame is set at each end of the telescopic arm 1. A cleaning brush 6 and a positioning wheel 8 are set on the cleaning brush fixing frame. The end of the cleaning brush 6 protrudes from the traveling surface of the positioning wheel 8. In this embodiment, since the cleaning brush 6 will be compressed and deformed when it contacts the pool wall, in order to ensure that the scrubbing device has a better scrubbing effect on the pool wall, the end of the cleaning brush 6 protrudes from the traveling surface of the positioning wheel 8 by 1-2mm when the positioning wheel 8 abuts against the pool wall.

[0027] See Figure 7In this embodiment, the bottom of the frame 2 is provided with support wheels 4, which are electrically connected to the rotation output end of a torque motor mounted on the chassis of the cleaning robot. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cleaning robot is equipped with a built-in waterproof battery pack, which provides the power source for the cleaning robot.

[0028] During operation, the cleaning robot is driven by horizontal thrusters 3, primarily moving in a reciprocating linear motion along the long axis of the aquaculture pond. The cleaning speed is controlled by adjusting the thrust of the horizontal thrusters 3. During movement, the suction devices 5 at both ends extract dirt from the bottom of the pond through the suction ports 9, providing a double-layered cleaning of the pond bottom for enhanced thoroughness. The extracted dirt is discharged through the drain pipe 7 to the storage tank 12 outside the pond. Simultaneously, the telescopic arm 1 extends according to actual operational needs, allowing the positioning wheels 8 to conform to the pond wall, assisting the cleaning robot in precise underwater positioning. The cleaning brushes 6 simultaneously scrub the pond wall, efficiently cleaning the bottom and side walls of the aquaculture pond. When the robot reaches the opposite bank of the pond, simply rotating the support wheels 90° switches to another cleaning path.
