Abstract

The invention discloses a spherical underwater robot capable of adjusting a driving direction within 360-degree circumference. The robot comprises a shell body and a driving mechanism which is used for driving the shell body to move; the whole shape of the shell body is spherical; the driving mechanism comprises an annular base body which is fixedly arranged on the shell body, an annular gear which is rotatably arranged on the annular base body, a gear driving mechanism which is used for driving the annular gear and rotates around the shell body and screw propeller actuators which are arranged on the annular gear. According to the spherical underwater robot, the positions, relative to the shell body, of the screw propeller actuators can be adjusted within the 360-degree circumference, that is, the power driving directions of the screw propeller actuators can be adjusted.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and in particular relates to a spherical underwater robot capable of adjusting the driving direction within 360 degrees of the circumference. Background technique [0002] Most underwater robots have cameras or cameras, and are generally used in hydrological research, underwater monitoring, underwater exploration, underwater rescue, underwater salvage, nuclear power plant water area monitoring, and underwater oil work platform cleaning. [0003] In existing underwater robots, the power direction of the driving mechanism is generally fixed with respect to the direction of the main body, and the direction of travel is changed by changing the rudder direction. This travel mode is difficult to meet the needs of more complex actions. Summary of the invention [0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a spherical underwater robot capable of adjusting the driving direction within 360 degrees of ...
