The invention provides a cleaning method of an intelligent oil tank cleaning robot, which adopts the intelligent oil tank cleaning robot and comprises the following steps:
entering a tank body step: the cleaning robot expands the auxiliary arm 4 and the movable supporting leg 2, and the cleaning robot is guided to enter the oil tank from the tank inlet of the oil tank to be cleaned through the guiding ladder;
and (3) cleaning the tank top: the cleaning robot runs to a first preset position along the central axis of the oil tank, and the movable supporting leg 2 arranged at the rear end is unfolded in an H shape to clean the tank top;

(the operation steps are one cleaning unit operation cycle, the secondary tank can be divided into 9 units in the clockwise and anticlockwise directions.) after cleaning is finished, the cleaning robot goes out of the tank and enters the container.
When the cleaning robot enters the oil tank to be cleaned, the cleaning robot needs to enter from an inlet (the maximum inlet size allowed by an oil field) of the special robot, and different oil fields have different requirements on the size, so that the cleaning robot needs to have smaller width and height to smoothly enter the tank body. The invention provides a cleaning method of an intelligent oil tank cleaning robot, which adopts the technologies of arm support folding, rotating and unfolding, movable supporting leg 2 folding and unfolding and the like to solve the problem that the cleaning robot is difficult to enter a tank.
In this embodiment, when the cleaning robot enters the tank, the crawler-type cleaning robot can enter the tank from the tank inlet by means of a special guiding ladder because the tank inlet of the tank is 300mm to 600mm away from the ground. Through the deformation of the cleaning robot (i.e. through forward rotation of the movable leg 2, the coupling joint 52 rotates 180 °, and the auxiliary arm 4 rotates to the rear of the cleaning robot, so that the overall deformation of the cleaning robot reaches the minimum width and height, wherein the tank inlet size of the oil tank in this embodiment is 850mm×900 mm), the coupling joint 52 rotates the auxiliary arm 4 below the telescopic main arm 3, so that the tank inlet height of the cleaning robot is the sum of the heights of the telescopic main arm 3 and the chassis, and referring to fig. 7 (the lengths of the telescopic main arm 3 and the auxiliary arm 4 do not affect the tank inlet size). The movable supporting leg 2 is connected with the chassis structure through a rotating seat key, and the front and back rotation of the movable supporting leg 2 is realized under the action of a rotating oil cylinder in the chassis, and the illustrated positions of fig. 5-7 are reached with reference to fig. 3-4, so that the height of the cleaning robot is reduced, and the tank filling requirement is met. The length of the movable supporting leg 2 is determined by the purpose that the cleaning robot achieves the stability of the operation during the cleaning operation, the robot is not influenced by the length of the movable supporting leg 2 through front-back overturning, and when the robot reaches the slope on the inner side of the guiding ladder tank, the movable supporting leg 2 is rotated to the bottom surface of the oil storage tank to support the cleaning robot, so that the cleaning robot can smoothly reach the inside of the oil storage tank.
After the cleaning robot enters the tank, the cleaning robot withdraws the unfolded auxiliary arm 4 and withdraws the movable supporting leg 2, and the cleaning robot advances according to the condition in the tank according to a planned route. After the robot reaches a preset cleaning operation position, the robot can move or perform fixed-point cleaning according to the construction environment. In the fixed-point cleaning state, the supporting rod 22 connected with the supporting leg 24 can be turned over under the action of the third telescopic mechanism 23, and the movable supporting leg 2 is unfolded in an H shape with reference to fig. 8-9, so that the stability of the cleaning robot in the fixed cleaning operation is ensured. The fixed-point cleaning state mainly comprises the cleaning of the outer wall of the inner cylinder and the inner wall of the outer cylinder of the oil tank, and the cleaning modes comprise automatic cleaning, semi-automatic cleaning and manual cleaning.
When the robot moves to clean, through the action of the chassis supporting leg overturning oil cylinder in the chassis assembly 1 module, the movable supporting leg 2 rotates and overturns to the joint of the universal wheel 25 and the ground, so that the movable supporting leg 2 is unfolded in an X shape, and the cleaning robot is enabled to ensure the working stability during moving and cleaning, wherein the cleaning robot is mainly in a manual cleaning mode during moving.
The cleaning robot can automatically clean the tank wall of the oil tank up and down or swing-cleaning through a preset program under the action of the telescopic main arm 3, the auxiliary arm 4 and the swing connection assembly 5, and reference is made to fig. 13.
The cleaning robot expands the movable supporting leg 2 in an H-shaped manner in a cleaning mode after guiding the ladder to enter the tank and driving to a specified operation place along a specified route, the telescopic main arm 3 is lifted up under the action of the oil cylinder and expanded in a five-section arm mode, so that the spray head at the tail end of the auxiliary arm 4 can be lifted up to a cleaning height section, and the first telescopic mechanism 32, the rotating mechanism at the rotary connecting assembly 5 and the second telescopic mechanism 42 are matched with the joints of the cleaning arm 6 through a preset control program, so that the spray nozzle on the cleaning head 7 reciprocates in the vertical direction and the cleaning distance between the spray nozzle and the inner cylinder is kept unchanged basically, and the stable cleaning operation is ensured. The high-pressure and high-temperature water is conveyed from outside the tank to a spray head of the cleaning head 7 through a cleaning robot composite cable to clean the inner tank, so that the up-down cleaning operation is realized, and the figure 12 can be referred to specifically.
When the cleaning robot performs the swinging cleaning operation, the preset program controls the cooperation of the swing connection assembly 5, the second telescopic mechanism 42 of the auxiliary arm 4, the first telescopic mechanism 32 of the telescopic main arm 3 and the joint action of the cleaning arm 6, so that the nozzle moves along the path shown in fig. 14 and keeps the distance from the wall of the inner tank unchanged, and the swinging cleaning operation is further realized.
