Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of amphibious robots, and more specifically, to an amphibious robot. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing demand for the development of marine resources, there is a need for amphibious robots that can adapt to complex operating environments and mission requirements to perform various near-sea exploration tasks that humans cannot complete. Therefore, developing amphibious robots that can adapt to the changing terrains of land and near-shore tidal flats as well as complex underwater environments has important practical value and significance.
[0003] There are many organisms in nature with excellent amphibious locomotion abilities, such as crabs, frogs, snakes, newts, etc. They have both shapes inherited from fish ancestors that are adapted to underwater life and the ability to adapt to terrestrial life. Therefore, the research on amphibious robots has important reference significance. In fact, scholars at home and abroad have successively developed various amphibious robots that imitate amphibious organisms in nature. However, in terms of results, simply imitating the propulsion methods of natural organisms does not have an advantage. They often only have relatively good performance in a single medium, either on land or underwater, and have poor performance in the other environment. For example, bionic legged robots are more suitable for walking on the ground but not good at swimming underwater, while bionic robotic fish are more suitable for swimming underwater.

[0097] The embodiments of the present invention are written in a progressive manner.
[0098] As Figures 1 to 17 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an amphibious robot, including: a body 1; a traveling mechanism provided on the body 1, with two sets of traveling mechanisms respectively provided on both sides of the body 1. The traveling mechanism includes a land traveling component 2, a flapping fin component 3, and a swing driving component 4. The swing driving component 4 is connected to the flapping fin component 3 and is used to adjust the attitude of the flapping fin component 3; a driving member 5, the output shaft of the driving member 5 is connected to a transmission mechanism 6. The transmission mechanism 6 is provided with a first output shaft 61 and a second output shaft 62. The first output shaft 61 is connected to the flapping fin component 3, and the second output shaft 62 is connected to the land traveling component 2.
[0099] Currently, traditional robots can usually only perform tasks in a single physical domain such as the sea, land, and air, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of complex tasks such as autonomous landing, autonomous recovery, amphibious reconnaissance, and cross-media operations.
[0100] There are many organisms in nature with excellent amphibious locomotion abilities, such as crabs, frogs, snakes, salamanders, etc. They have both shapes inherited from fish ancestors that are adapted to underwater life and the ability to adapt to terrestrial life. Therefore, it has important reference significance for the research of amphibious robots. In fact, scholars at home and abroad have successively developed a variety of amphibious robots that imitate natural amphibious organisms. However, in terms of the effect, simply imitating the propulsion methods of natural organisms does not have advantages. It often only has relatively good performance in a single medium of land or water, while having poor performance in the other environment. For example, bionic legged robots are more suitable for walking on the ground and not good at swimming underwater, while bionic robotic fish, etc. are more suitable for swimming underwater. The reason is that the artificial amphibious propulsion device cannot fully replicate the excellent amphibious locomotion performance of natural organisms, and the result is often only similar in shape but insufficient in performance.
[0101] The amphibious robot provided by the present invention, firstly, because there is a body 1 and a walking mechanism provided. Among them, there are two groups of walking mechanisms, and the two groups of walking mechanisms are respectively arranged on both sides of the body 1. The walking mechanism includes a land walking component 2, a flapping fin component 3 and a swing driving component 4. Among them, the swing driving component 4 is connected to the flapping fin component 3 and is used to adjust the attitude of the flapping fin component 3. The flapping fin component 3 has a land walking attitude, an underwater walking attitude and an amphibious transition environment attitude. When the flapping fin component 3 is in the land walking attitude, the body 1 is pushed to move in the land environment through the land walking component 2. When the flapping fin component 3 is in the underwater walking attitude, the body 1 is pushed to move in the underwater environment through the flapping fin component 3. When the flapping fin component 3 is in the amphibious transition environment attitude, the land walking component 2 and the flapping fin component 3 jointly push the body 1 to move in the amphibious transition environment. In this way, it can better adapt to the land and water environments and has better terrain adaptability. Secondly, a driving member 5 is also provided. Among them, the output shaft of the driving member 5 is connected to a transmission mechanism 6. A first output shaft 61 and a second output shaft 62 are arranged on the transmission mechanism 6. Among them, the first output shaft 61 is connected to the flapping fin component 3 and is used to drive the flapping fin component 3, and the second output shaft 62 is connected to the land walking component 2 and is used to drive the land walking component 2. The land walking component 2 and the flapping fin component 3 in the same group of walking components are driven by the same driving member 5, reducing the number of driving members 5 and effectively reducing the installation space of the driving member 5 and the complexity of the structure. It can be seen that compared with the prior art, the amphibious robot in the embodiment of the present invention can adapt to both land and water environments, has good terrain adaptability, is simple in structure and smaller in volume.
[0102] The amphibious robot provided by the present invention uses the same driving member to drive the walking mechanism on one side. Only two driving members are required for the walking mechanisms on both sides of the driving body, reducing the number of driving members, effectively reducing the installation space, and lowering the structural complexity. A swing driving assembly is also provided. The swing driving assembly is connected to the undulating fin assembly to control the attitude of the undulating fin assembly. In the land walking attitude, the land walking assembly pushes the robot to walk. In the underwater walking attitude, the undulating fin assembly generates undulations to push the robot to swim. When in the water-land transition attitude, the land walking assembly and the undulating fin assembly act simultaneously. The land walking assembly walks along the bottom of the water, and the undulating fin assembly paddles at the same time. Under the dual driving effect, the robot can enter or exit the water.
[0103] In the above structure, as one of the implementation manners, the transmission mechanism 6 in the embodiment of the present invention includes a transmission structure 63 connecting the output end of the driving member 5 and the first output shaft 61; a first bevel gear 64 provided at one end of the first output shaft 61 away from the undulating fin assembly 3; a second bevel gear 65 provided on the second output shaft 62 and cooperating with the first bevel gear 64; wherein, the transmission structure 63 is specifically a combination of one or more of a gear transmission structure, a belt transmission structure, and a chain transmission structure.
[0104] Specifically, the transmission structure 63 transmits the power output by the driving member 5 to the first output shaft 61. The driving member 5 drives the first output shaft 61 to rotate. The first output shaft 61 is connected to the undulating fin assembly 3 to drive the undulating fin assembly 3 to generate undulations. The first bevel gear 64 is installed on the first output shaft 61 to drive the second bevel gear 65 and the second output shaft 62 to rotate. The second output shaft 62 is connected to the land walking assembly 2 to drive the land walking assembly 2 to move. Through the meshing between the first bevel gear 64 and the second bevel gear 65, the second output shaft 62 is driven to rotate. The power output by the driving member 5 in the embodiment of the present invention can drive the undulating fin assembly 3 and the land walking assembly 2 at the same time. Whether the amphibious robot provided by the present invention is in a land environment, an underwater environment, or a water-land transition environment, the undulating fin assembly 3 and the land walking assembly are both in a driving state. Only the attitude of the undulating fin assembly 3 needs to be adjusted by the swing driving assembly 4 to adapt to the environment where the amphibious robot is located. With such a setting, the control complexity is reduced, and the amphibious robot does not need to switch the drive. At any time, the undulating fin assembly and the land walking assembly are in a linkage state.
[0105] In the above structure, the transmission structure 63 in the embodiment of the present invention is specifically one or a combination of a gear transmission structure, a belt transmission structure, and a chain transmission structure. The main function is to transmit the power output by the driving member 5 to the first output shaft 61. As a specific implementation manner, the transmission structure 63 in the embodiment of the present invention is specifically a gear transmission structure, including a first spur gear 631, a second spur gear 632, and a third spur gear 633. Among them, the first rotating shaft 634 of the first spur gear 631 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving member 5, the second rotating shaft 635 of the second spur gear 632 is rotatably connected to the main body 1, and the third spur gear 633 is fixedly connected to the first output shaft 61. Among them, the first rotating shaft 634, the second rotating shaft 635, and the first output shaft 61 are all rotatably connected to the frame through a seventh bearing 67. Through the meshing of the first spur gear 631, the second spur gear 632, and the third spur gear 633, the continuous rotation output by the driving member 5 is converted into the continuous rotation of the first output shaft 61 parallel to the output shaft of the driving member.
[0106] Furthermore, as one of the implementation manners, the transmission mechanism 6 in the embodiment of the present invention further includes a bevel gear mounting seat 66. Among them, the bevel gear mounting seat 66 is connected to the main body 1, the first bevel gear 64 and the second bevel gear 65 are both mounted on the bevel gear mounting seat 66, the first bevel gear 64 is fixedly connected to the first output shaft 61, and the second bevel gear 65 is hinged on the bevel gear mounting seat 66 and is fixedly connected to the second output shaft 62. Through bevel gear transmission, the continuous rotation of the output shaft of the driving member 5 is converted into the continuous rotation of the second output shaft perpendicular to the first output shaft, and the undulating fin assembly is driven to generate undulation through the second output shaft.
[0107] Furthermore, as one of the implementation manners, the driving member 5 in the embodiment of the present invention is specifically a DC reduction motor.
[0108] In the above structure, the land walking assembly 2 in the embodiment of the present invention is specifically a wheeled propulsion structure or a tracked propulsion structure. As the first implementation manner, the land walking assembly in the embodiment of the present invention is specifically a wheeled propulsion structure (not shown in the figure). The land walking assembly 2 includes a driving wheel connected to the second output shaft 62, and a driven wheel rotatably connected to one end of the main body 1 away from the first walking wheel. The driven wheel is used to support the main body. The driving wheel is driven to rotate through the second output shaft 62 to drive the main body to move, and the driven wheel rotates passively. At this time, when the amphibious robot of the present invention is used for ground walking, it is equivalent to a four-wheel mobile robot with two-wheel drive.
[0109] As a second embodiment, the land walking component 2 in the embodiments of the present invention is specifically a crawler propulsion structure. Specifically, the land walking component 2 in the embodiments of the present invention includes: a first crawler wheel 21 connected to the second output shaft 62; a second crawler wheel 22 disposed at one end of the body 1 away from the first crawler wheel 21; a crawler 23 disposed on the first crawler wheel 21 and the second crawler wheel 22, and a crawler hole group is disposed on the crawler 23, and the crawler hole group is spaced at intervals along the length direction of the crawler. Among them, a set of crawler hole groups includes at least two crawler holes 24, and the crawler holes 24 are spaced at intervals along the width direction of the crawler 23. Saw teeth 25 for cooperating with the crawler holes 24 are disposed on the outer circumferential surfaces of the first crawler wheel 21 and the second crawler wheel 22. Specifically, the first crawler wheel 21 is connected to the second output shaft 62 to form a driving wheel, and the second output shaft 62 drives the first crawler wheel 21 to rotate. Under the cooperation of the saw teeth 25 and the crawler holes 24, the crawler 23 rotates around the first crawler wheel 21 and the second crawler wheel 22, and the body 1 is driven to walk on the ground based on the frictional force between the crawler 23 and the ground.
[0110] Furthermore, two crawler holes 24 are disposed in a set of crawler holes in the embodiments of the present invention. Two saw teeth 25 are disposed in the same axial direction on the outer circumferential surfaces of the first crawler wheel 21 and the second crawler wheel 22, and the saw teeth 25 are evenly spaced in the circumferential direction around the first crawler wheel 21 and the second crawler wheel 22.
