Research Summary of Jacket Cleaning and Detection Robot

Abstract

In order to solve the jacket platform in the sea level for a long time by the platform pressure, seawater erosion, marine biological corrosion and other factors and the emergence of weld cracks, depressions, deformation, fracture and other defects, it is necessary to regularly carry out cleaning and testing to ensure the stability of the jacket structure. At present, the cleaning and detection of offshore platform jackets are mostly carried out by divers diving into the water. The operation is difficult, inefficient, costly, and greatly affected by the weather. When cleaning operations are carried out in areas with poor water quality, it will pose a threat to the lives of divers. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of jacket cleaning and detection robot structure that can carry cleaning and detection devices instead of manual operation.
