Polar robot based on wind-solar hybrid power supply

Abstract

The invention discloses a polar robot based on wind-solar hybrid power supply. Wheeled active deformation suspension mechanisms are symmetrically mounted on two sides of a body. Each active deformation suspension mechanism is in a seven-bar structure. The two active deformation suspension mechanisms are connected through a passive deformation suspension mechanism. Therefore, the height of the body can be adjusted, and sidewise rolling of the body is also achieved. A loading unit, a power supply unit and a control system are installed on the body. The loading unit is used for acquiring external ambient information and motion status information of the polar robot in real time. The power supply unit comprises a wind driven generator, a solar panel and a battery pack. Electric energy output from the wind driven generator and the solar panel is stored in the battery pack. The control system is used for controlling the power supply unit and controlling motion, obstacle avoidance and obstacle crossing of the polar robot. The polar robot has the advantages that the robot can better adapt to terrains, can better travel complex terrains and is available for long-term scientific investigation tasks in the polar region.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot for polar scientific research based on wind-solar complementary energy, which belongs to the field of renewable energy applications and robots. Background technique [0002] Polar robot is a ground mobile robot, mainly used for polar scientific research. In 1992, Carnegie Mellon University in the United States developed the Dante-I quadruped walking robot to implement robotic detection of volcanic craters and cliffs in Antarctica. In 1997, Carnegie Mellon University in the United States used the Nomad developed by it to search for living microorganisms on meteorites and ice tops in Antarctica. In 2002, Italy developed the RAS for autonomous driving along fixed routes between camps. The U.S. Army Cold Region Research and Engineering Laboratory and the Thayer School of Engineering jointly developed Cool Robot for polar scientific expeditions, and the University of Kansas developed Prism for towing radar antennas for pol...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the severe blocking effect of the ice and snow in the polar region, the power consumption of the robot in the polar region is greatly increased, requiring the robot to carry more energy, which greatly limits the robot's moving range and working time.

[0003] Many current polar robots are modified from tracked snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, amphibious all-terrain vehicles and even remote-controlled tanks. Because the working conditions in the polar regions have many gullies, it is common to have high energy consumption or pass through complex terrain. through the problem of insufficient ability

[0004] Moreover, the existing polar robot scientific research platform completes a single task and has poor autonomy. For example, it can only complete the scanning of ice-penetrating radar or the search of meteorites.
