Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible energy harvesting device for an underwater robot, belonging to the technical field of energy harvesting, comprising a flexible flag belt, a pull rope, an electric motor, a shell, at least one MFC energy harvesting unit and an energy storage device. The MFC energy harvesting unit is mounted on the surface of the flexible flag belt, and one end of the flexible flagbelt is connected with the shell. One end of the pulling rope is connected with a motor, and the other end is connected with a flexible flag band for receiving the flexible flag band into the interior of the housing through the motor, the motor being mounted on the housing. Through the piezoelectric effect principle of MFC energy capture unit, the mechanical energy in the flow field is convertedinto electrical energy, and the scattered electrical energy is integrated together and converted into clean power supply through the energy collection circuit, which has the advantages of clean energyacquisition, long service life and strong environmental adaptability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of energy harvesting, in particular to a flexible energy harvesting device for an underwater robot. Background technique [0002] Diving devices such as submarines and underwater robots are extreme equipment that work underwater. Diving devices can dive into water to replace people to complete certain operations. They are active diving devices with underwater observation and operation capabilities. With the popularization and application of advanced science and technology such as automation technology and cableless communication technology, the functions of diving equipment will be further strengthened, and the corresponding key technical problems will become more prominent. Under the requirements of long endurance and high efficiency, energy Supply issues appear to be particularly important. [0003] At present, traditional energy supply methods mainly rely on chemical batteries, and chemical batteries hav...
