Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bionic underwater propulsion devices, and in particular relates to a flippable bionic scallop propulsion device and a propulsion method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As an important tool for the exploration and development of marine resources, underwater propulsion devices are currently a hot topic of research. Scallops and jellyfish propel themselves by jetting backward to obtain forward reaction force, which provides a new idea for the development of bionic underwater propulsion robots and has important research value and application prospects. This type of jet propulsion device usually needs to open the shell first to absorb enough water, and then shrink the shell to forcefully squeeze the absorbed water backward to obtain its own forward power. Due to the limitations of the connection form of the propulsion structure, the jet propulsion device needs to continuously open and close the shell on one side, that is, in the opposite direction of the movement direction, to achieve continuous forward movement. However, due to the process of the shell opening and absorbing water, the pressure behind the shell will be less than the pressure in the front, so that the propulsion device is slowed down by pressure resistance in each cycle. From the perspective of propulsion efficiency, this is not the most efficient jet propulsion method. Summary of the invention
