Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bionic robot movement, and in particular relates to a movement mode of a bionic stingray amphibious robot. Background Art

[0002] During the vertical movement of existing bionic amphibious robots underwater, a method of installing a sinking and floating structure, flapping an undulating fin up and down, or installing a vertical propeller is usually adopted to achieve the underwater snorkeling movement of the bionic amphibious robot.

[0003] Patent CN111422334A discloses an underwater multi-purpose robot propelled by a bionic undulating fin, which realizes floating and diving movements through a sinking and floating adjustment mechanism arranged in the middle. Patent CN102514697A discloses a bionic robot stingray and its movement mode, which realizes floating and diving movements through a sinking and floating control mechanism and a posture adjustment mechanism, thereby realizing the floating and diving movements of the robot. Patent CN115056952A discloses an underwater bionic inspection device and its inspection method, which realizes the floating and diving movements of the robot through the sinking and floating module. However, due to the large size of the sinking and floating adjustment mechanism, it will occupy most of the space of the robot. At the same time, it takes a long time to adjust the robot to float and dive through the sinking and floating adjustment mechanism, resulting in slow floating and diving movements, which seriously affects the overall performance of the robot.

[0004] Patent CN112406431A discloses a flexible fin wave propulsion amphibious bionic robot, which realizes the robot's floating and diving movements by controlling the fish fin steering module to make the flexible fin flap up and down. However, since the return action of the fish fin flapping up and down generates a force opposite to that required for floating and diving, the robot's floating and diving movements are relatively slow. At the same time, the fish fin can move in both wave and flap movements, which increases the complexity of control.

[0005] Patent CN112093018A discloses a bionic manta ray robot, which uses two vertical propellers to adjust the robot's pitch angle to achieve the robot's floating and diving movements. However, the vertical propeller propulsion method has low propulsion efficiency and high noise interference, which is contrary to the pursuit of low noise and high concealment of underwater bionic robots. At the same time, propeller propulsion is easily entangled by water plants and other debris, which seriously affects its propulsion performance.

[0006] Therefore, how to reduce the complexity of the bionic amphibious robot's control of floating and diving movements and improve the endurance of the bionic amphibious robot is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention
