[0073] According to Bernoulli equation, the lift of the wing is calculated The area of the wing is approximately S=Ld, the wing span is L, and the wing length is d. The fluid density p is 1025 kg / m 3 , the incoming flow velocities V1 and V2 are the flow velocities on the upper and lower sides of the flexible wing.

The output shaft transmits torque to the wing-shaped housing 1 which is tightly connected with the output shaft, and the bidirectional flexible wing-leg hybrid propulsion device rotates under the action of the torque. The whole device rotates around the output shaft. The driving servo motor 20 of each bidirectional flexible wing-leg hybrid propulsion device is assisted by different control timing, so that the bidirectional flexible wing-leg hybrid propulsion device can walk on the seabed and turn over the obstacles. Specifically, when the underwater glider is in the seabed operation state, the four C-shaped leg shafts bend in the same direction, the driving servo motor 20-1, the driving servo motor 20-2, the driving servo motor 20-3 and the driving servo motor 20-4 drive the four bidirectional flexible wing-leg hybrid propulsion devices to rotate forward synchronously; when the underwater glider is in the seabed obstacle operation state, when the height of the obstacle is less than 1 / 2 of the height of the C-shaped leg shaft, the four C-shaped leg shafts bend in the same direction, and the four driving servo motors 20 drive the four flexible wing-legs to rotate forward alternately with a phase difference of 180°; when the height of the obstacle is greater than 1 / 2 of the height of the C-shaped leg shaft, the control board adjusts one end of the contraction rope group 6 through the steering engine group, changes the bending of the C-shaped leg shaft in different directions, and the four driving servo motors 20 drive the four flexible wing-legs to rotate alternately with a phase difference of 180°.

[0076] When the underwater glider is in the floating state, the underwater glider is in the rising gliding trend, the contraction rope group 6 obtains the contraction length through the driving control unit analyzing the water flow data, and the angle change of the limiting block 5 is maintained by the limiting spring 7, which generally presents an upward convex parabolic arc.

[0077] When the underwater glider is in the sinking state, the underwater glider is in the falling gliding trend, the contraction rope group 6 obtains the contraction length through the driving control unit analyzing the water flow data, and the angle change of the limiting block 5 is maintained by the limiting spring 7, which generally presents a downward concave parabolic arc.

[0078] When the underwater glider is in the moving state, the underwater glider is in the horizontal gliding trend, the contraction rope group 6 is in the relaxed state, the limiting block 5 group changes freely with the resistance of the water flow, and generally presents a reciprocating oscillation swing. To realize the underwater efficient periodic propulsion, the limiting block 5 realizes the wave-shaped swing of the imitation tail fin by using the contraction and expansion of the wire mechanism under the periodic torque of the steering engine group 13. The oscillating thrust is generated by the periodic wave-shaped swing of the flexible wing 3. Compared with the swing of a single joint rigid plate, the reaction force of the multi-joint flexible wing 3 is smaller, and the power of the underwater advance is greater. If the angle is not parallel to the water flow, the dynamic pressure impacting it will generate lift.

[0079] In the hovering state, the underwater glider is in two static equilibrium trends, one is that the underwater glider is in the suspended state, the bidirectional flexible wing-leg hybrid propulsion device of the underwater glider is in the vertical state, and static equilibrium is achieved through active deformation; the other is that the underwater glider is in the ground standing state, the two ends of the contraction rope group 6 are tightened, the tail limiting block 8 is attached to the ground, and the underwater glider is in the static state.
