Abstract

The invention relates to the field of engineering bionic technology, in particular to bionic sharkskin making use of a shape memory alloy artificial muscle longitudinally-injected drag reducer. The bionic sharkskin making use of the shape memory alloy artificial muscle longitudinally-injected drag reducer comprises a supporting base, a hardened conductive layer I, artificial muscle flexible units, a hardened conductive layer II, a shark scale imitation skin layer and a drag reducer longitudinal injection device, wherein each artificial muscle flexible unit comprises a shape memory alloy artificial muscle spring, a pulling head, a two-section electric heating rod and a connection conductive wire, and each shape memory alloy artificial muscle spring has a certain amount of supporting strength. Compared with the prior art, the bionic sharkskin making use of the shape memory alloy artificial muscle longitudinally-injected drag reducer has the advantages that by the adoption of the design of shape memory alloy artificial muscle, a micro mucus secreting mechanism of the sharkskin is simulated by means of the unique material characteristic that the double-trip memory effect is presented under the driving of transformation temperature of the shape memory alloy artificial muscle, the working mode and control method of injecting a micro amount of the drag reducer are more sensitive, controllable and reliable compared with existing means, service life is guaranteed effectively, and a beneficial example is provided for the engineering bionic technology, especially the bionic drag reduction skin manufacturing technology, in the aspect of structure and function bionics.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a kind of bionic shark skin, more particularly, refers to a kind of bionic shark skin which uses shape memory alloy artificial muscle to longitudinally inject a drag reducing agent, and belongs to the field of engineering bionic technology. Background technique

[0002] Effectively reducing the surface resistance of underwater vehicles to improve speed, maneuverability, endurance and fuel efficiency is of great significance to national economy and national defense security. High-speed underwater creatures such as sharks, dolphins, and tuna undoubtedly provide humans with extremely valuable engineering bionic models. The targeted development of high-efficiency, low-resistance bionic drag-reducing skin has become a current research hotspot and difficulty.

[0003] In addition to its perfect streamlined shape, the high speed of sharks is also closely related to the special micro-scale structure of its epidermis and the mucus secre...
