In response to the current problem of varying solid waste pollution in various water areas,manual cleaning has traditionally been used to remove solid waste,but this cleaning method has low efficiency and safety factors.A new type of water surface cleaning robot is designed for solid waste cleaning in small water areas.Through selecting and designing the propulsion mechanism,cleaning and collection mechanism,and hull of the robot,a complete assembly model of the new water surface cleaning robot is established by using SolidWorks software.The power source adopts clean and environmentally friendly lithium batteries,and uses a DC reduction motor as a mechanical action to achieve driving components.Using finite element method to analyze the key mechanical structure collection mechanism of the water surface cleaning robot,the yield strength,safety factor,maximum stress,and allowable stress all meet the design requirements.After optimizing the material properties,the maximum displacement deformation decreased by 86.5%,further meeting the usage requirements of the entire design.This robot provides a feasible solution for a dedicated cleaning device for urban rivers,parks,and lakes,improving the efficiency of urban cleaning.
