Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ship cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to an automated shipboard cleaning robot. Background Technology

[0002] After loading and unloading various cargoes such as crude oil, chemicals, grains, and ores, a large amount of pollutants will remain on the metal surfaces, corners of the bulkheads, and gaps in the dome of the ship's cargo hold. If these pollutants are not thoroughly removed, they will not only contaminate the next cargo loaded, causing a decrease in cargo purity, but also shorten the service life of the cargo hold due to the corrosive effect of chemical residues.

[0003] Currently, most ship cleaning is done manually using handheld water hoses. When cleaning the interior of the ship's cabin, the angle of the water hose spray needs to be constantly changed, which greatly increases the labor intensity and further affects the cleaning efficiency. To address this issue, we propose an automated shipboard cleaning robot. Utility Model Content

[0007] In a further embodiment, the angle adjustment mechanism includes a hanging plate fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water pipe, an electric push rod embedded in the upper surface of the hanging plate, a top plate fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod, and the top plate being hinged to the spray head.

[0008] In a further embodiment, an annular groove is provided on the upper surface of the frame, and a support rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove, with the top end of each support rod connected to the outer surface of the hanging plate.

[0009] In a further embodiment, a protective shell is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the water pipe, and the bottom surface of the protective shell is connected to the upper surface of the frame.

[0010] In a further embodiment, a collar is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water inlet pipe, and a reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the collar, with the other end of each reinforcing rod connected to the inner wall of the frame.

[0011] In a further embodiment, a connecting flange is installed at the input end of the water inlet pipe.

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

[0013] This application utilizes a motor, gears, and a gear ring to rotate the spray head, thereby increasing the cleaning range. Furthermore, the electric push rod, in conjunction with the top plate, allows for adjustment of the spray head's vertical angle, replacing manual adjustments to the spray angle and reducing labor intensity for workers, thus improving the efficiency of ship cleaning.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 In this utility model, an automatic shipboard cleaning robot includes a vehicle body 1. A frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vehicle body 1. A water inlet pipe 3 is embedded in the upper surface of the frame 2. A connecting flange 16 is installed at the input end of the water inlet pipe 3. The connecting flange 16 facilitates the connection between the water inlet pipe 3 and an external pipe by the operator. A collar 18 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 3. A reinforcing rod 17 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the collar 18. The other end of each reinforcing rod 17 is connected to the inner wall of the frame 2. By using the cooperation of the collar 18 and the reinforcing rod 17, the water inlet pipe 3 can be reinforced and stabilized, thereby improving its stability during water delivery.

[0021] The top of the inlet pipe 3 is rotatably connected to the water delivery pipe 6. A motor 14 is installed on the upper surface of the frame 2. A gear 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 14. A gear ring 12 meshes with the outside of the gear 13. The inner ring of the gear ring 12 is connected to the outer surface of the water delivery pipe 6. When the motor 14 is started, it drives the gear 13 to rotate. The gear 13 then drives the gear ring 12 to rotate synchronously. The gear ring 12 then drives the water delivery pipe 6 to rotate synchronously, thereby adjusting the spraying direction of the spray head 8. A protective shell 5 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the water delivery pipe 6. The bottom surface of the protective shell 5 is connected to the upper surface of the frame 2. The protective shell 5 can shield and protect the motor 14, gear 13, and gear ring 12, further ensuring the stability of the rotation of the water delivery pipe 6.

[0022] The output end of the water supply pipe 6 is connected to a telescopic pipe 7, and the output end of the telescopic pipe 7 is connected to a spray head 8. An angle adjustment mechanism is provided below the spray head 8. The angle adjustment mechanism includes a hanging plate 10 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water supply pipe 6. An electric push rod 9 is embedded in the upper surface of the hanging plate 10. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to a top plate 15. The top plate 15 is hinged to the spray head 8. The electric push rod 9 is controlled to extend and retract. When the electric push rod 9 extends, it pushes the top plate 15, which in turn pushes the spray head 8 to gradually move and deflect upward. When the electric push rod 9 retracts, it pulls the spray head 8 downward. The spray direction of the spray head 8 can be gradually adjusted downward, thereby replacing the manual constant adjustment of the spray angle of the water pipe, further reducing the labor intensity of the staff and improving the cleaning efficiency of the ship.

[0023] An annular groove 4 is provided on the upper surface of the frame 1. A support rod 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 4. The top of each support rod 11 is connected to the outer surface of the hanging plate 10. By using the cooperation between the annular groove 4 and the support rod 11, the hanging plate 10 can be stably supported, further improving its stability during rotation.

[0024] The working principle of this application is as follows: When in use, the motor 14 is started and works. The motor 14 drives the gear 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 12 to rotate. The gear ring 12 drives the water pipe 6 to rotate, thereby adjusting the spraying direction of the spray head 8. The electric push rod 9 can be controlled to extend and retract. When the electric push rod 9 extends, it pushes the top plate 15, which in turn pushes the spray head 8 to gradually move and deflect upward. When the electric push rod 9 retracts, it pulls the spray head 8 downward. The spraying direction of the spray head 8 can be gradually adjusted downward, thereby replacing the manual constant adjustment of the spraying angle of the water pipe, further reducing the labor intensity of the workers and improving the cleaning efficiency of the ship.

[0025] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
