Abstract

The invention relates to a jellyfish imitating underwater propelling device, in particular to a jellyfish imitating underwater propelling device driven by embedded flexible joints. The problems that an existing bionic machine jellyfish is complex in mechanical structure, low in system integration degree, low in propelling efficiency and limited in motion control precision, and the propelling behavior of a propellier body and the movement behavior of a real jellyfish in the natural world are quite different are solved. The jellyfish imitating underwater propelling device comprises a power and control module, and further comprises an enterocoelia end cover, a bionic flexible body, an enterocoelia base and N flexible piezoelectric fiber composite material drive joints. The N flexible piezoelectric fiber composite material drive joints are evenly distributed and embedded in the side wall of the bionic flexible body in the circumferential direction, the enterocoelia base is embedded into the bottom of the bionic flexible body, the open end of the enterocoelia end cover covers the open end of the enterocoelia base, the enterocoelia end cover and the enterocoelia base are in detachable sealing connection, and each tentacle of the enterocoelia base is provided with one corresponding flexible piezoelectric fiber composite material drive joint. The device is used for the field of ocean scientific investigation and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a jellyfish-like underwater propulsion device, which belongs to the field of bionic underwater propulsion systems. Background technique [0002] At present, the global population and industry are developing at a high speed. Human beings have realized that the finite energy and some production materials that can be proven on land may be exhausted in the next period. How to solve this survival contradiction has become an international issue. major challenge. Under this background of social development, while people are seeking alternative resources on land, they are also actively marching to occupy the ocean, and ocean activities and related competitions are becoming increasingly fierce. [0003] Human activities such as marine production and scientific research basically rely on propulsion devices such as ships, submarines, and underwater detectors. These propulsion devices often use traditional propeller propulsion technology...
