[0024] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, an unmanned surface vessel (USV) spraying netting device includes: an USV 1 and a spraying netting device 2;

[0025] The unmanned surface vessel (USV) 1 is equipped with a spraying netting device 2 that rotates on both sides of the hull. The USV 1 also has a controller. The spraying netting device 2 has a rotating assembly 21, which in turn has a netting assembly 22. A spraying assembly 23 is mounted on the side wall of the netting assembly 22. The netting assembly 22 is configured to operate between an deployed state and a retracted state. In the deployed state, the netting assembly 22 and the spraying assembly 23 rotate outwards from the hull to perform oil removal operations. In the retracted state, the netting assembly 22 and the spraying assembly 23 rest against the hull. The netting assembly 22 is used to suspend oil-absorbing felt, and the spraying assembly 23 is used to spray oil-removing agents. The rotating assembly 21 is connected to a rotating motor, which is electrically connected to the controller.

[0026] Furthermore, the spraying netting device 2 includes: a rotating base assembly 21, a netting assembly 22, and a spraying assembly 23. The rotating base assembly 21 is fixedly mounted on the hull of the unmanned surface vessel 1. In this embodiment, the rotating base assembly 21 is located at the stern of the unmanned surface vessel 1. The water flow in the stern area is relatively stable, which can reduce the impact of the swell at the bow on the spraying netting device 2 when the hull is moving, prevent the oil-absorbing felt from falling off or getting tangled due to violent shaking, ensure the stability of the adsorption operation, and balance the hull structure. The rotating base assembly 21 is provided with a base 211, which is fixedly mounted on the hull of the unmanned surface vessel 1. A rotating seat 212 is fitted on the base 211. The rotating base assembly 21 is connected to a rotating motor, which is electrically connected to a controller on the unmanned surface vessel 1. The controller controls the rotating motor, which drives the rotating seat 212 to rotate, thereby realizing the deployment and retrieval of the netting assembly 22 and the spraying assembly 23. A first fixed seat 213 is provided on the side of the rotating seat 212 near the netting assembly 22.

[0027] Furthermore, a netting assembly 22 is fixedly installed on the rotary seat 212. The netting assembly 22 is equipped with a support rod 221, which is fixedly connected to the rotary seat assembly 21. Multiple deployment and retrieval components 222 are fixedly installed on the support rod 221. The deployment and retrieval components 222 are used to suspend the oil-absorbing felt and drag it along with the movement of the unmanned surface vessel 1. After the oil removal operation is completed, the oil-absorbing felt is retrieved. The deployment and retrieval components 222 include: a first connecting seat 2224 and a second connecting seat 2225. The first connecting seat 2224 and the second connecting seat 2225 are fixedly connected to the support rod 221. A push rod 2221 is provided between the first connecting seat 2224 and the second connecting seat 2225. The input end of the push rod 2221 is connected to a motor 2222, and the output end of the push rod 2221 is connected to a pin 2223. The input end of the push rod 2221 is rotatably mounted on the first connecting seat 2224, and the output end of the push rod 2221 is connected to the pin 2223. 23 is connected to the second connecting seat 2225. The motor 2222 is electrically connected to the controller. The controller controls the operation of the motor 2222. The motor 2222 drives the extension and retraction of the push rod 2221. In the extended state, the push rod 2221 extends to insert the pin 2223 into the second connecting seat 2225. In the retracted state, the push rod 2221 retracts to pull the pin 2223 out of the second connecting seat 2225, so that the push rod 2221 can rotate, thereby removing and replacing the oil-absorbing felt. The support rod 221 is provided with multiple second fixing seats 27 on the side away from the sea surface. In this embodiment, two second fixing seats 27 are provided, respectively located in the middle part and the end of the support rod 221. The second fixing seats 27 are used to connect to the first fixing seat 213 on the rotating assembly 21 through the pull rope 26, thereby improving the structural stability of the hanging net assembly 22 and preventing the support rod 221 from sagging and affecting the oil removal effect.

[0028] Furthermore, a spraying assembly 23 is provided on the side wall of the netting assembly 22. The spraying assembly 23 is provided with a delivery pipe 231, which is fixedly connected to the rotating assembly 21. Multiple nozzles 232 are provided on the delivery pipe 231. The input end of the delivery pipe 231 is connected to a storage tank, which is fixedly installed on the unmanned surface vessel 1 and connected to the input end of the delivery pipe 231 through a pipe. The storage tank is filled with degreasing agent and is equipped with a pump. The pump is electrically connected to a controller, which controls the operation of the pump. When performing spraying operations, the controller drives the pump to pump the agent or powder in the storage tank into the delivery pipe 231 and spray it out from the nozzles 232. By setting the nozzles of the nozzles 232 to be flat, the coverage area during spraying can be increased, thus improving the efficiency of the spraying operation.

[0029] Furthermore, the unmanned surface vessel 1 is equipped with a winch 25 and a wheel 24 at the end away from the rotating assembly 21. The winch 25 is equipped with a rope wound around it, which is wound around the wheel 24 and connected to the net hanging assembly 22. The winch 25 is equipped with a motor, which is electrically connected to the controller. The motor controls the rotation of the winch 25, providing lateral tension when the net hanging assembly 22 is deployed to further improve the stability of the net hanging assembly 22 structure. When the net hanging assembly 22 is retrieved, the retrieval speed of the net hanging assembly 22 is increased, improving the control performance of the spraying net hanging device 2 and realizing the rapid deployment and rapid retrieval of the spraying net hanging device 2.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
