Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to a pitch adjustment device for an underwater robot, and in particular relates to a pitch adjustment device for an underwater robot which is driven by a crank-connecting rod mechanism. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, underwater robots have begun to play an important role in civilian applications, including marine environmental observation, deep-sea mineral resource development, seafloor topography mapping, and 3D reconstruction of polar sea ice structures. Furthermore, as powerful weapons and equipment for tasks such as target detection, underwater robots also play a crucial role in the military.

[0003] Pitching motion is a common movement of underwater robots. Methods for achieving pitching motion can be categorized into two types. The first involves the interaction between external manipulators and the surrounding fluid. For example, a sailing underwater robot achieves pitching motion by changing the angle of its horizontal rudder. The second involves internal pitch adjustment devices that alter the fore-aft position of the underwater robot's center of gravity. Pitch adjustment devices enable pitching motion even when the underwater robot is at low speed or in suspension, and are therefore crucial for motion control of low-speed underwater robots.

[0004] CN201511017744.5 discloses a center of mass adjustment device for an underwater robot. The device utilizes the underwater robot's eccentric battery pack as the mass block of the present invention. The pitch worm gear, pitch worm, and gear rack of the pitch drive device mesh with each other to cause the eccentric battery pack to slide on the square tube shaft, thereby enabling the center of mass adjustment device to adjust the center of mass to move along its axis. The heel worm gear and heel worm of the roll adjustment device mesh with each other to rotate, driving the square tube shaft and the eccentric battery pack to rotate. Because the center of mass of the eccentric battery pack is eccentric to the axis of the square tube shaft, the center of mass of the entire center of mass adjustment device rotates around its axis, thus achieving the pitch and roll adjustment functions of the entire underwater robot system. The present invention meets the requirements of the underwater robot for compact structure, low energy consumption, and reliable operation.

[0005] CN201811392367.7 discloses an all-round tracking and positioning device for an underwater robot moving near the seabed, which belongs to the field of underwater robot tracking technology. The device includes a signal generating system located on the underwater robot and a seabed base station communicatively connected to a seabed observation network; the signal generating system includes a position detector for sensing the direction of a laser, three light-emitting bodies for generating light signals, and a first controller, and the first controller adjusts the posture of the light-emitting body according to the direction of the laser sensed by the position detector; the seabed base station includes a base fixed on the seabed, a laser generator movably mounted on the base, a camera for photographing the light-emitting body, and a second controller, the shooting direction of the camera is the same as the laser emission direction of the laser generator, and the second controller controls the posture of the laser generator and the camera and calculates the position and posture of the underwater robot based on the image of the light-emitting body taken by the camera.

[0006] In existing technology, pitch adjustment devices typically rely on a motor to drive a heavy load cell to translate along a square tube axis, thereby achieving forward and backward movement of the underwater robot's center of gravity. Traditional pitch adjustment devices are fixedly connected to the load cell, with the motor driving a gear to rotate. This gear meshes with a rack fixed to the square tube axis to enable the load cell to slide back and forth along the axis. However, the sliding design of the load cell and the square tube axis often involves contact and friction between the parts. As the operation time increases, the lubricant tends to dry out, which is very detrimental to underwater robots during long-term operation and poses a safety hazard.

[0007] In addition, since the square tube axis is fixed at the center of the pitch adjustment compartment, the internal space of the compartment is divided, making it impossible to arrange more batteries and larger sensors and components, which brings certain limitations to the improvement of the underwater robot's endurance and operational capabilities.

[0008] Furthermore, because conventional pitch adjustment devices adjust the underwater robot's center of gravity at a constant speed, their response to the robot's pitch motion is often delayed. When the underwater robot's pitch angle is small, the center of gravity needs to move forward and backward at a faster rate to quickly initiate the pitch motion and change from a stationary state. However, when the underwater robot's pitch angle is large, the center of gravity needs to move forward and backward at a slower rate to avoid excessive pitch motion response. Therefore, pitch adjustment devices that adjust the center of gravity at a constant speed are not conducive to achieving timely dynamic response in underwater robots, making it difficult to achieve good control of the underwater robot. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a highly efficient pitch adjustment device for an underwater robot, driven by a crank-connecting rod mechanism. This pitch adjustment device is simple to install and maintain, and can rapidly shift the robot's center of gravity back and forth when the robot's pitch angle is small, enabling rapid initiation of pitch motion. At higher pitch angles, it can also shift the center of gravity back and forth at a low speed to prevent excessive pitch motion response, resulting in a more timely pitch motion response.
