Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0035] Example 1:
[0036] Please see Figure 1-5 An unmanned surface vessel sensor mounting platform includes:
[0037] Positioning platform 1, with a detachable protective cover 2 at the top of the positioning platform 1, a support frame 3 fixedly connected to one side of the positioning platform 1, and a liquid storage tank 4 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, in order to eliminate the heat generated during the operation of the vision sensor in a timely manner, the positioning stage 1 is made of a thermally conductive material;
[0041] In this embodiment, the protective cover 2 has a semi-circular structure, and the positioning stage 1 and the protective cover 2 are connected by a snap fastener (not shown in the figure). Through the structural characteristics of the protective cover 2, the visual sensor can be effectively protected without affecting the detection range of the visual sensor, and the protective cover 2 is made of transparent material.
[0042] In this embodiment, a liquid level feedback groove is provided on the outside of the liquid storage tank 4, and a liquid filling pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the liquid storage tank 4. The liquid level feedback groove can intuitively provide feedback on the remaining liquid level inside the liquid storage tank 4. To prevent the liquid in the liquid storage tank 4 from flowing out of the liquid level feedback groove, a transparent sealing plate is also fixedly connected inside the liquid level feedback groove. With the liquid filling pipe, when the liquid level inside the liquid storage tank 4 is insufficient, cleaning liquid can be added to the liquid storage tank 4 through the liquid filling pipe. At the same time, to prevent foreign matter from entering the liquid storage tank 4 through the liquid filling pipe, a sealing plug is provided on the liquid storage tank 4.
[0043] In this embodiment, the cleaning component 6 includes:
[0044] Hollow shaft 8 is vertically rotatably connected to the middle of positioning frame 5. A wiping frame 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of hollow shaft 8. An assembly groove 10 is provided on the wiping frame 9.
[0045] Wiping cotton board 11 is filled inside the assembly groove 10. A transmission pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer side of the hollow shaft 8. The bottom of the transmission pipe 12 extends into the assembly groove 10. A transmission worm gear 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer side of the hollow shaft 8.
[0046] Transmission component 14 is mounted on the top of positioning frame 5 and is used to cooperate with transmission worm gear 13 to drive wiping cotton plate 11 to wipe protective cover 2.
[0047] In this embodiment, the wiping frame 9 has an arc-shaped structure and fits the outer contour of the protective cover 2. The part where the wiping frame 9 fits the protective cover 2 is provided with a cleaning scraper. Through the structural characteristics of the wiping frame 9, it can adapt to the surface curve of the protective cover 2. At the same time, with the help of the cleaning scraper, the protective cover 2 can be cleaned again by the cleaning scraper before and after the wiping cotton board 11 wipes the protective cover 2. The cleaning scraper can be made of rubber.
[0048] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 14 includes:
[0049] The transmission frame 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning frame 5. The top of the transmission frame 15 is laterally rotatably connected to the central shaft 16. The middle part of the central shaft 16 is fixedly connected to the transmission worm 17, and the transmission worm 17 is meshed with the transmission worm wheel 13.
[0050] An eccentric plate 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the central shaft 16. A transmission motor 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission frame 15, and the output end of the transmission motor 19 is fixedly connected to the central shaft 16.
[0051] In this embodiment, to prevent rainwater from affecting the transmission of the central shaft 16 and the transmission worm gear 17, the central shaft 16 and the transmission worm gear 17 can be covered by a protective housing.
[0052] Example 2:
[0053] Please see Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: the liquid supply assembly 7 includes:
[0054] Liquid supply bend 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one end of liquid storage tank 4, and the end of liquid supply bend 20 away from liquid storage tank 4 is also rotatably connected to the top of hollow shaft 8.
[0055] The liquid supply shaft 21 is rotatably connected to one end of the liquid supply bend 20 near the hollow shaft 8. Both sides of the liquid supply shaft 21 located inside the liquid supply bend 20 are fixedly connected to sealing plates 22. The end of the liquid supply shaft 21 located outside the liquid supply bend 20 is fixedly connected to a linkage plate 23. A linkage groove 24 is opened in the middle of the linkage plate 23, and the end of the eccentric plate 18 away from the central shaft 16 is also movably connected to the inside of the linkage groove 24.
[0056] In this embodiment, a rotary joint is provided at the connection between the liquid supply bend 20 and the hollow shaft 8, and the liquid supply bend 20 and the hollow shaft 8 are connected by the rotary joint.
[0057] In this embodiment, a guide shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the eccentric plate 18 away from the central shaft 16, and the eccentric plate 18 is movably connected to the inside of the linkage channel 24 through the guide shaft. By setting the guide shaft, during the continuous rotation of the eccentric plate 18, the guide shaft can be driven to slide adaptively inside the linkage channel 24, causing the linkage plate 23 and the liquid supply shaft 21 to drive the sealing plate 22 to swing.
[0058] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0059] The working principle is as follows: First, the positioning station 1 is installed at the designated position on the unmanned vessel using the connector. Then, the vision sensor used by the unmanned vessel is installed on top of the positioning station 1 using external tools (clamps or connectors, etc.). Finally, the vision sensor is covered by the protective cover 2, thus completing the mounting of the vision sensor.
[0060] Subsequently, the drive motor 19 is started to drive the central shaft 16 to rotate, which causes the drive worm gear 17 to move the drive worm wheel 13, thereby driving the hollow shaft 8 to rotate. With the hollow shaft 8 connected to the wiping frame 9, the wiping frame 9 can be adjusted along the outer contour of the protective cover 2, so as to wipe the surface of the protective cover 2 with the help of the wiping cotton plate 11 to remove the stains on the surface of the protective cover 2.
[0061] With the connection of the central shaft 16 and the eccentric plate 18, when the eccentric plate 18 rotates with the central shaft 16, the adaptive displacement of the eccentric plate 18 at the linkage slot 24 can drive the linkage plate 23 to swing up and down under the support of the liquid supply shaft 21. At the same time, with the connection between the sealing plate 22 and the liquid supply shaft 21, when the liquid supply shaft 21 rotates, a gap can be continuously maintained between the sealing plate 22 and the liquid supply bend 20. Some of the liquid inside the storage tank 4 will be sent to the hollow shaft 8 through the gap and injected into the assembly slot 10 through the transmission pipe 12 to wet the wiping cotton plate 11, thereby ensuring the wiping effect of the wiping cotton plate 11.
