Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ship cleaning technology, specifically relating to a ship hull maintenance and cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] As the key part of a ship that comes into direct contact with the water, the hull is highly susceptible to various factors when it is submerged in water for a long time, which can lead to problems such as dirt accumulation, biological adhesion, and material wear. These problems not only affect the normal operation of the ship, but also bring a series of potential risks.
[0003] Traditional ship cleaning relies heavily on manual labor, requiring the vessel to be docked in a dry dock where workers would dive into the water or work within the dock to clean it. This method is not only inefficient and time-consuming, but also involves strenuous labor for workers and poses safety risks. Furthermore, manual cleaning struggles to ensure even and thorough cleaning, especially in the underwater corners and curved areas of the hull, where cleaning blind spots are easily created.
[0004] Currently, some ship cleaning equipment on the market is either structurally complex and cumbersome to operate, or unable to adapt to the curved shapes of different ship hulls (such as the arc of the ship's bottom, the angle of inclination, etc.), resulting in the cleaning rollers not adhering tightly to the ship's surface and poor cleaning effect. At the same time, most equipment lacks precise control of cleaning pressure, which may damage the ship's paint layer due to excessive pressure, or fail to effectively remove stubborn dirt due to insufficient pressure.
[0005] Therefore, in view of the problems of low hull cleaning efficiency, poor cleaning effect and insufficient adaptability in the existing technology, there is an urgent need for a hull maintenance and cleaning device that can automatically adapt to the curved surface of the hull, ensure that the cleaning roller fits tightly with the hull, and is easy to operate, so as to achieve efficient and thorough cleaning of the hull, reduce the operating cost of the ship and extend the service life of the hull. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hull maintenance and cleaning device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this ship hull maintenance and cleaning device to solve its technical problems is as follows:
[0008] A ship hull maintenance and cleaning device is provided, including a base. A guide rail is provided above the base, and the guide rail is fixedly mounted on a first electric telescopic rod. The first electric telescopic rod is fixedly mounted on the base. A mover is respectively installed on both sides of the guide rail, and a support platform is fixedly mounted on each mover. A second electric telescopic rod is fixedly mounted on both sides of the support platform. A pressure sensor is installed on each of the second electric telescopic rods. A movable platform is provided above the support platform. One of the second electric telescopic rods is rotatably connected to its corresponding movable platform via a hinge. A slide rail is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable platform and a slider is installed in cooperation with it. The other second electric telescopic rod is rotatably connected to its corresponding slider via a hinge. A motor is fixedly mounted on each movable platform, and a cleaning roller is fixedly mounted on each motor.
[0009] Furthermore, a third electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the guide rail, and each third electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one of the moving parts.
[0010] Furthermore, rollers are rotatably mounted on both sides of the guide rail.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. This utility model provides a hull maintenance and cleaning device. In use, the base is fixed to the bottom of the water, the boat is moored above the base, and two second electric telescopic rods are extended. Pressure is detected on pressure sensors until the pressure detected by the corresponding pressure sensor on the second electric telescopic rod reaches a threshold, at which point the corresponding second electric telescopic rod stops. At this point, the support wheels on both sides of the movable platform are in close contact with the bottom of the boat. The motor is started, and the cleaning roller cleans the bottom of the boat. During the cleaning process, the first electric telescopic rod is activated, driving the guide rail to move back and forth, which in turn moves the cleaning roller back and forth to clean the front and rear sides of the bottom of the boat. The moving part moves left and right, further moving the cleaning roller left and right to clean the bottom of the boat. During the movement of the guide rail and the moving part, the corresponding second electric telescopic rods are extended and retracted according to the pressure detected by the corresponding pressure sensors, ensuring that the cleaning roller remains in contact with the bottom of the boat for a better cleaning effect. This device facilitates cleaning of the bottom of the boat, and the cleaning roller remains in contact with the bottom of the boat throughout the cleaning process, resulting in a more thorough cleaning.
[0017] 2. The hull maintenance and cleaning device of this utility model can be conveniently driven to move by extending and retracting two second electric telescopic rods.
[0018] 3. The hull maintenance and cleaning device of this utility model can easily support the guide rail through rollers.
[0019] 4. The hull maintenance and cleaning device of this utility model uses a track and rollers to facilitate the support of the guide rail.
[0020] 5. A hull maintenance and cleaning device according to this utility model example can easily contact and support the bottom of the hull through support wheels.
[0021] 6. A hull maintenance and cleaning device according to this utility model uses elliptical support wheels to support the bottom of the ship regardless of the angle of the movable platform.
[0022] 7. A hull maintenance and cleaning device according to this utility model can be conveniently controlled by a controller, which enables control of the first electric telescopic rod, the second electric telescopic rod, the pressure sensor, the motor and the third electric telescopic rod.
