step 5, in the bridge pier detection process, judging whether the surface of the bridge pier is abnormal or not through the detection picture returned in real time, and if the abnormality is not found, controlling the underwater robot to move to the next place to be detected to continue detection operation; if the surface of the pier is abnormal or foreign matter is adsorbed, the operator can perform the following treatment according to the real-time returned picture condition: when pier surface trouble accessible underwater robot handled, operating personnel can handle the underwater robot according to deep water foundation surface operation flow control, handles the trouble on pier surface, and is concrete, and deep water foundation surface operation flow includes following step:
step 51, when finding that foreign matters are adsorbed on the surface of the pier and need to be treated, controlling the underwater robot to approach the pier, when the positioning rod 160 contacts the pier, the contact sensor 162 directly contacts the pier, at this time, the contact sensor 162 generates a signal and transmits the signal to the transmission head 130, the transmission head 130 transmits the signal to the two wall embracing mechanisms 200, that is, the transmission head 130 transmits the signal to the first motor 230, the second motor 240 and the second propeller 251, at this time, the first motor 230 and the second motor 240 operate first, so that the first motor 230 drives the first turntable 231 to rotate, the second motor 240 drives the second turntable 241 to rotate, because the first turntable 231 is mounted on the rotary seat 231a, the rotary seat 231a is mounted on the frame 100 of the underwater robot, the first motor 230 is mounted at one end of the first rotary arm 210, so that the first rotary arm 210 rotates around the rotary seat 231a, that is, the first rotary arm 210 rotates relative to the frame 100, meanwhile, because the second motor 240 is installed at one end of the first rotating arm 210 far from the first motor 230, the second rotating arm 241 is installed at one end of the second rotating arm 220 far from the holding and sucking assembly 250, and the joint of the first rotating arm 210 and the second rotating arm 241 is arc-shaped, the first rotating arm 210 is parallel to the second rotating arm 220, so that the second rotating arm 220 can rotate around the second rotating arm 241, that is, the second rotating arm 220 rotates relative to the first rotating arm 210, when the first rotating arm 210 rotates to a first preset angle relative to the rotating seat 231a and the second rotating arm 220 rotates to a second preset angle relative to the first rotating arm 210, the holding and sucking assembly 250 just contacts the surface of the pier, and then the first motor 230 is controlled to be adjusted from the working state to the braking state, so that the first rotating arm 210 does not rotate relative to the rotating seat 231a, and at the same time, the second motor 240 is turned off and the second propeller 251 is turned on, so that the second rotating arm 241 has no force, that is, the second rotating arm 220 is allowed to rotate with respect to the first rotating arm 210, so that the second thruster 251 generates a thrust and pushes the suction cup 252 to the surface of the pier, and in the process, the thrust generated by the second thruster 251 is opposite to the direction in which the propeller in the second thruster 251 disturbs the water flow due to the rotation, and when the suction cup 252 is pushed to the surface of the pier, the suction cup 252 is compressed, and at the same time, the liquid in the inner space of the suction cup 252 is discharged to form a certain negative pressure, so that the suction cup 252 is tightly connected to the surface of the pier, and then, the second motor 240 is adjusted to a braking state, so that the underwater robot is stably connected to the pier, thereby preventing the underwater robot from being flushed away by the rush current around the pier.
Step 52, after the connection between the underwater robot and the pier is confirmed, operating the mechanical arm 120 to enable the mechanical arm 121 to pick up a proper tool to perform operations such as grinding and sampling on foreign matters on the surface of the pier, and when the pier needs blasting demolition, selecting a drilling tool in the storage basket 180 through the mechanical arm 121 to drill on the surface of the pier needing demolition so as to facilitate explosive installation by people; when the surface failure of the pier cannot be processed by the underwater robot, a video image and a sonar image of the failure part can be shot and stored by the camera 140 and the second sonar 150 of the underwater robot, and meanwhile, the failure part on the pier is positioned, recorded and numbered by the navigation cabin 320;
and 6, controlling the underwater robot to return and recovering the underwater robot after the detection task is finished.
By the maintenance method, the underwater robot can flexibly move underwater, and the stable connection between the underwater robot and the pier is also realized, so that the underwater robot is prevented from being washed away by a rapid current beside the pier, and an operator can control the mechanical arm 120 to maintain the surface of the pier.
EXAMPLE III
In this embodiment, a step is added to step 4 of the second embodiment.
Specifically, when the water quality is turbid and the camera 140 cannot acquire a clear picture, the second sonar 150 is started to acquire a real-time picture of the surface of the pier.
