Problems solved by technology

In the patent documents "Underwater Multifunctional Robot (CN1876486A)" and "Underwater Robot Multifunctional Operation Toolkit" (Teng Yuhao et al., Robot, Volume 24, No. 6, November 2002), although the underwater operation robot involved has There are many kinds of end effectors, but their driving motors are all arranged in the end effector, which not only increases the difficulty of sealing and increases the manufacturing cost, but also is not convenient for the rapid replacement of end effectors. More importantly, neither To realize the overall modular design of the robot, it is not possible to selectively install the necessary functional modules or adjust the relative positions of the modules according to different task requirements
In short, the number of robots that can be used for underwater operations, especially in special environments (such as nuclear power plants), is not only small, but also generally special-purpose equipment. When dealing with multi-tasks, it generally requires the coordination of multiple equipment. Not only is the operation complicated, but also requires a lot of investment

Embodiment 1

[0052] The robot is composed of a car body module 1, a manipulator module 2, an underwater camera module 3, a functional component module 4 and a control module 5. When handling general tasks, the robot is mainly assembled from the storage box 41 in the car body module 1, the manipulator module 2, the underwater camera module 3, and the functional component module 4. During the movement of the robot, the manipulator module 2 is folded above the car body. At this time, the external dimensions of the robot are 590mm×294mm×520mm in length×width×height. The outer dimensions of the robot body module 1 are 400mm×200mm×150mm in length×width×height, and wheels of different sizes can be selectively installed. In this embodiment, wheels with a diameter of 140mm are assembled, and the ground clearance is 35mm, which can realize 0-24m / min Continuously variable speed, climbing ability ≥ 30° on smooth steel plate.

[0053] The manipulator module 2 is composed of a base 21 , a waist 22 , a ...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to robot technology, in particular to an underwater operation robot, in particular to an underwater operation robot that can perform operations such as observation and salvage in high-radiation and weakly acidic water environments (such as those used in nuclear power plants). Background technique [0002] The rapid development of robot technology has greatly promoted the application of robots in various fields, especially in some special environments, robots have become indispensable equipment. With the continuous deepening of human development and utilization of the ocean, and the continuous advancement of industrialization and urbanization, people are facing more and more underwater operations, the operating environment is becoming more and more complex, and the difficulty of operations is also increasing. For example, in nuclear power plants, it is often necessary to salvage foreign objects that accidentally fall into t...
