Design and Hydrodynamic Performance Research of Jacket Cleaning Robot
The jacket will be eroded by seawater and attached by marine organisms if it is immersed in seawater for a long time,which will pose a serious threat to safety production.Therefore,it is necessary to regularly clean the marine organisms on its surface.At present,the jacket is mainly cleaned by divers with spray guns,which is inefficient and has huge potential safety hazards.Therefore,a four-wheel drive jacket cleaning robot,which combines vacuum adsorption and thrust adsorption,is designed.Its overall structure and control system are introduced in detail.The hydrodynamic simulation calculation of its floating straight state is carried out.The results show that the structure design of the robot is reasonable and the hydrodynamic performance is good,which provides a new scheme for the research of jacket cleaning robot.
