Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of deep-sea robots, and in particular relates to a deep-sea micro sampling robot. Technical Background

[0002] With the development of science and technology, human beings have an increasing demand for resources, which can no longer be met by existing resources on land. The ocean contains extremely rich resources. In order to achieve efficient development of marine resources, it is first necessary to accurately and efficiently detect and sample deep-sea resources. Therefore, the development of deep-sea micro-sampling robots is of great significance.

[0003] Therefore, many detection and sampling equipments were designed. For example, patent CN102628337B designed a chimney horizontal sampling drill for deep-sea polymetallic sulfide mining areas. However, it did not have sufficient mobility. Therefore, patent CN210483534U pointed out its shortcomings and then designed a mobile deep-sea sampling drill. However, its mobility was achieved by the high-speed rotation of the propeller. Therefore, before drilling and sampling at the bottom, it would cause great disturbance damage to the sampling position, resulting in the samples taken not being able to fully and truly reflect the composition structure of the seabed materials.

[0004] Another example is patent CN208106319U which designs a self-propelled deep-sea core sampling drill for complex terrain. The drill relies on movable legs to move freely on the seabed to achieve precise positioning and sampling, but there is a possibility of sinking, and it can only move slowly on the seabed but cannot swim quickly.

[0048] A tightening rod device 9.2 is provided on the upper end surface of the upper plate 9.1.1 of the sample storage tray corresponding to each sampling rod 9.3; the tightening rod device 9.2 includes a steel locking block 9.2.1, a slide rail 9.2.2 and a spring sheet IV 9.2.3; the slide rail 9.2.2 is installed on the upper plate 9.1.1 of the sample storage tray, and the locking block 9.2.1 is installed in the slide rail 9.2.2 and can slide along the slide rail 9.2.2; the two ends of the spring sheet IV 9.2.3 are respectively connected to the locking block 9.2.1 and the slide rail 9.2.2. The side of the sampling rod is provided with rough lines, and the end of the locking block 9.2.1 facing the sampling rod is provided with rough lines. Under the action of the spring sheet IV 9.2.3, the locking block 9.2.1 presses against the rough line part of the sampling rod to clamp the sampling rod 9.3. The rod loosening device 9.4 is installed on the limit seat 9.5, and an electromagnetic coil is arranged inside the rod loosening device, and the electromagnetic coil is close to the steel block 9.2.1 on the rod tightening device 9.2. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, it can generate magnetic force on the locking block 9.2.1, so that the locking block 9.2.1 overcomes the elastic force of the spring sheet IV 9.2.3 and separates from the corresponding sampling rod 9.3.

[0049] The resistor includes a spring sheet V9.9.1 and a resistance sheet 9.9.2. One end of the spring sheet V9.9.1 is fixed to the edge of the turntable seat 2.2, and the other end is provided with a resistance sheet 9.9.1. The resistance sheet abuts against the upper end surface of the lower plate 9.1.3 of the sample storage plate 9.1, thereby hindering the rotation of the sample storage plate. The turntable seat 2.2 is provided with a through hole at the axis of the connector 4.5, and the diameter of the through hole is greater than the diameter of the sampling rod 9.3.

[0050] The dial cylinder sleeve 9.8 of the dial cylinder is hinged on the support frame 2.1, the end of the dial cylinder piston rod 9.7 is hinged to the dial device 9.6, the dial device 16.6 is installed on the arc guide rail, and the dial device is against the side of the upper plate 9.1.1 of the sample storage tray 9.1. The dial cylinder can push the dial device 16.6 to move along the arc guide rail, thereby pushing the sample storage tray 9.1 to rotate.

[0051] like Figure 8 and 9 As shown, the dial device 9.6 includes a dial pin 9.6.1, a spring sheet II 9.6.2, a housing 9.6.3, a spring sheet I 9.6.4, a latch 9.6.5, a connecting portion 9.6.6 and a spring sheet III 9.6.7. The lower portion of the connecting portion 9.6.6 is mounted on the circular arc guide rail and can slide along the circular arc guide rail, and the upper portion is hinged to the end of the piston rod 9.7 of the dial cylinder. The housing 9.6.3 is fixed on the connecting portion 9.6.6, and a slideway I and a slideway II are arranged inside the housing 9.6.3. The slideway I is perpendicular to the slideway II, and the slideway I is parallel to the tangent of the circular arc guide rail. Openings are arranged at both ends of the slideway I and the side facing away from the slideway II. One end of the slideway II is connected to the inner cavity of the slideway I, and the other end and one side of the slideway II are arranged with openings. The bayonet 9.6.5 is installed in the slideway I, and the bayonet 9.6.5 is connected to the side of the slideway I opening through a spring sheet I 9.6.4, so that the bayonet 9.6.5 can be kept in a free state. Fig. 9 The position shown. One end of the latch 9.6.5 extends out of the end opening of the slideway I, and the other end is a wedge surface. The detent pin 9.6.1 is installed in the slideway II. The detent pin 9.6.1 is connected to the side of the opening of the slideway II through a spring sheet II 9.6.2. One end of the detent pin 9.6.1 extends out of the end opening of the slideway II. The end surface is an inclined surface, which can cooperate with the tail of the spoon to slide to the head of the spoon, and can cooperate with the head of the spoon to move the sample storage tray. The detent pin 9.6.1 is installed with a spring sheet III 9.6.7 facing one end of the latch 9.6.5. The end surface is a wedge surface and extends into the interior of the slideway I. The wedge surface of the detent pin 9.6.1 cooperates with the wedge surface of the latch 9.6.5, and can slide with each other. Since the spring sheet III 9.6.7 is provided at one end of the pin 9.6.1 facing the bayonet 9.6.5, when the housing 9.6.3 abuts against the limit seat 9.5, the squeezing force exerted by the bayonet 9.6.5 on the pin 9.6.1 can make the pin 9.6.1 better stabilize the position of the sample tray 16.2. In this position, the sampling rod 9.3 is coaxial with the connector 4.5.

[0052] Since a spring sheet II 9.6.2 is provided between the detent pin 9.6.1 and the housing 9.6.3, under the action of the resistor 9.9, the resistance torque of the sample tray 9.1 is greater than the dynamic torque generated by the sample tray 9.1 when the detent pin 9.6.1 slides on the tail of the spoon-shaped slot, so that the detent pin 9.6.1 is kept in the Fig. 9The control device 10 is connected with the feed cylinder, the ultrasonic vibration motor 4.3, the drilling motor 4.4, the turntable cylinder, the loose rod device 9.4, the corner motor 7 and the rotating motor 5, and is used to control the actions of the feed cylinder, the ultrasonic vibration motor 4.3, the drilling motor 4.4, the turntable cylinder, the loose rod device 9.4, the corner motor 7 and the rotating motor 5.

[0053] The working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0054] Before the present invention enters the sea, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the four wheel axes are placed horizontally to facilitate traveling on the ground, and then sufficient sampling rods are loaded and operated and debugged at the same time. After the debugging is completed, the wheel axes are lowered and gradually made vertical in the process. Figure 1 As shown, the rotating running wheels form a driving force upward to accelerate the descent to shorten the working time. When the robot approaches the sampling target, the running wheels generate a downward driving force to slow down the descent speed, and then adjust the direction of the driving force to get as close to the sampling target as possible. In order to prevent the downward driving force of the running wheels from damaging the sampling target, try not to land directly above the sampling target, but first land near the sampling target, and then choose the forward mode according to the real-time seabed environment. If it is relatively soft mud and sand, when the robot moves along the axis of the running wheel rotating rod 8 and slips severely, the running wheels are selected to provide axial driving force. When reaching the specified position, the running wheel axis can be directed downward, and then appropriate driving force is generated upward without causing major disturbance or damage to the sampling target to increase the robot's grip, which is beneficial to sample acquisition.

[0055] When sampling, first fix and position the sampling rod 9.3 through the sample storage device 9, then dock the connector 4.5 and the sampling rod 9.3, then start the loose rod device 9.4 to release the sampling rod 9.3, and then start the feed cylinder, ultrasonic vibration motor 4.3 and drilling motor 4.4 to drive the sampling rod to drill downward. After sampling is completed, collect the sampling rod 9.3 and turn off the ultrasonic vibration motor 4.3 and drilling motor 4.4. When the sampling rod 9.3 reaches the predetermined initial position, turn off the loose rod device 9.5 so that the tightening rod device 9.2 tightens the sampling rod 9.3, then disconnect the connection between the connector 4.5 and the sampling rod 9.3, and finally start the turntable cylinder so that the dial device 9.6 moves the sample storage tray 9.1, and finally the housing 9.6.3 of the dial 9.6 is close to the limit seat 9.5, so that the sample storage tray 9.1 is positioned and fixed again to complete the rod changing action, and then prepare to start sampling work at the next location. After all sampling tasks are completed, the rope can be recovered to retrieve the present invention.
