Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable components, in particular to an artificial intelligence underwater robot cable. Background Art
[0002] The AI underwater robot is connected by cable components, which can realize remote control and data transmission. Cables are usually used to provide stable power supply and real-time communication, ensuring the stability and reliability of the robot when operating underwater. This connection method enables the operator to monitor the status of the AI robot in real time while receiving video and data information from the underwater environment.
[0003] The cables used by AI underwater robots are too long, which increases the difficulty of management. The reason is that long cables are easily affected by water flow when operating underwater, which leads to increased cable swing amplitude, and thus increases the risk of entanglement with underwater structures or themselves. In addition, long cables may be affected by seabed topography during movement, such as rocks, corals, etc., which may cause physical damage to the cables. At the same time, the weight and volume of long cables will also increase, making it more difficult to control. More force is required to control the movement of the cables, which may lead to operational delays and inaccuracies. Therefore, the management of long cables needs to be more delicate and cautious to avoid these potential problems. The cables of underwater robots can be damaged by pressure and corrosion. In deep water environments, cables are subjected to huge water pressure, which may cause damage to the physical structure of the cables, such as cracked insulation or deformed conductors. In addition, salt and other chemicals in seawater will accelerate the corrosion process of cable materials, resulting in reduced electrical conductivity of the cables or even complete breakage.
[0004] When the cables used by underwater robots are too long underwater, they are easily affected by water flow, increasing the risk of entanglement; the cables of underwater robots will be damaged due to pressure and corrosion, affecting the normal use of the cables. To this end, we provide an artificial intelligence underwater robot cable. Summary of the invention
