Embodiment 1）

[0021] This embodiment is a spherical underwater robot that can adjust the driving direction within 360 degrees around the circumference, see Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, it includes a housing 1, a camera module built in the housing and a driving mechanism for driving the housing to move.

[0022] The overall shape of the casing is spherical, and the bottom of the casing is provided with a transparent hemispherical observation window 11; The light on the gimbal mechanism. The camera is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the pan-tilt mechanism, facing the transparent wall of the hemispherical observation window.

[0023] The driving mechanism includes an annular base 4 fixedly arranged on the casing, a ring gear 5 rotatably arranged on the annular base, a gear drive mechanism 6 for driving the ring gear and rotating around the casing, and two propellers arranged on the ring gear drive7. In this embodiment, four fixing columns 12 are arranged on the outer wall of the housin...

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, which are generally used in hydrological research, underwater monitoring, underwater exploration, underwater rescue, underwater salvage, nuclear power plant water monitoring, and underwater oil operation platform cleaning and other fields. [0003] In the existing underwater robots, the power direction of the driving mechanism is generally fixed relative to the direction of the main body, and the direction of travel is changed by changing the direction of the rudder, which is difficult to meet the needs of more complex actions. Contents of the invention [0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a spherical underwater robot capable of adjusting the driving directi...
