Detailed Implementation

[0035] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment includes a main body 1, a propulsion component 2, a buoyancy component 3, and a center of gravity component 4.

[0036] The main body 1 has a symmetrical structure both front-to-back and left-to-right. In this embodiment, the main body 1 is shell-shaped, specifically, it is constructed by welding sheet metal into a cubic structure. The main body 1 includes a main body compartment 1a with an opening in the upward direction, and a main body cover 1b that seals the opening of the main body compartment 1a. The buoyancy component 3 and the center of gravity component 4 are both located inside the main body compartment 1a. In other embodiments, the main body 1 can be made into a solid shape, and the buoyancy component 3 and the center of gravity component 4 can be fixed to the top or bottom surface of the main body 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, electromagnetic adsorption devices 1c are provided on all four sides of the main body 1 (front, back, left, and right). Several main bodies 1 can be assembled into a larger cluster of submersibles using the electromagnetic adsorption devices 1c. The electromagnetic adsorption device 1c includes a magnetic pole reversal circuit. By controlling the direction of the magnetic poles, the electromagnetic adsorption devices 1c that were originally attracted to each other can generate a repulsive force, causing the cluster of submersibles to disintegrate.

[0038] The propulsion assembly 2 includes a spiral roller 2a, a roller drive component 2b, and a movable arm 2c.

[0039] The spiral roller 2a has spiral strips set on the arc-shaped sidewall of the roller. There are two sets of spiral rollers 2a, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main body 1. Each set includes a left-hand spiral roller 2a and a right-hand spiral roller 2a, and the axis lines of the two spiral rollers 2a in the same set coincide. The total length of the two spiral rollers 2a in each set does not exceed the length of the side fixed to the main body 1.

[0040] The roller drive component 2b drives the spiral rollers 2a to rotate around the roller's axis. The roller drive component 2b is typically powered by a motor. By controlling the rotation of the four spiral rollers 2a, the submersible can move forward, backward, left, and right, whether on land or in water. For example, when the two spiral rollers 2a rotate inward, the submersible moves forward; when the two spiral rollers 2a rotate outward, the submersible moves backward. Acceleration and deceleration are achieved by controlling the rotational speed of the roller drive component 2b. The four spiral rollers 2a coordinately control forward propulsion, while differential speed control controls direction. For example, when the roller drive components 2b rotate in the same direction and at the same speed, stationary rotation is achieved; when one roller drive component 2b stops while the other rotates, a small-radius turn is achieved; when the two roller drive components rotate in the same direction but at different speeds, a large-radius turn is achieved.

[0041] One end of the movable arm 2c is hinged to the main body 1, and the other end of the movable arm 2c is hinged to the spiral drum 2a. The rotation of one end of the movable arm 2c around its hinge axis may drive the spiral drum 2a to rotate. The rotation range of the movable arm 2c is at least enough to allow the spiral drum 2a to rotate completely to the bottom of the main body 1. In this way, when the cluster is combined, there will be no interference between the spiral drums 2a of different submarines.

[0042] Furthermore, this embodiment also includes a movable arm drive component 2c1 in the propulsion assembly 2. The movable arm drive component 2c1 is fixed to the body 1, and the movable arm drive component 2c1 drives the movable arm 2c to rotate around the axis of hinge with the body 1. That is, the swing of the movable arm 2c is controlled automatically.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the movable arm drive component 2c1 in this embodiment includes a gear motor 2c1a, a driving gear 2c1b, and a driven gear 2c1c. The gear motor 2c1a drives the driving gear 2c1b to rotate. The driving gear 2c1b meshes with the driven gear 2c1c and can drive the driven gear 2c1c to rotate. The center of the driven gear 2c1c is connected to one end of the movable arm 2c and can drive the movable arm 2c to rotate around the center line of the driven gear 2c1c. For ease of installation, this embodiment also provides a mounting plate 2c1e. One side of the mounting plate 2c1e is fixed to the side of the body 1. The gear motor 2c1a, the driving gear 2c1b, and the driven gear 2c1c are all mounted on the mounting plate 2c1e.

[0044] In other embodiments, the driven gear 2c1c and the driving gear 2c1b may not be provided, and the rotation of the movable arm 2c may be directly controlled by a motor, or the same function may be achieved by a crank-connecting rod mechanism.

[0045] like Figure 8 As shown, in order to precisely control the swing angle of the movable arm 2c, the transmission ratio between the driven gear 2c1c and the driving gear 2c1b in this embodiment is greater than 1. At the same time, a limiting hole 2c1d can be provided on the tooth surface of the driven gear 2c1c with a larger nominal diameter. Specifically, several limiting holes 2c1d are provided, and a limiting component 7 is provided on the mounting plate 2c1e.

[0046] The limiting assembly 7 includes a limiting motor 7a, a limiting link 7b, and a limiting pin 7c. The output of the limiting motor 7a is connected to one end of the limiting bar; rotation of the limiting motor 7a causes the other end of the limiting bar to rotate around the output axis of the limiting motor 7a. The other end of the limiting link 7b is hinged to one end of the limiting pin 7c; the other end of the limiting pin 7c, driven by the limiting motor 7a, can insert into and disengage from the limiting hole 2c1d. When the movable arm 2c rotates to a certain angle, the insertion of the limiting pin 7c into the limiting hole 2c1d restricts the rotation of the movable arm 2c.

[0047] To ensure overall symmetry, in this embodiment, the movable arm drive components 2c1 of each propulsion assembly 2 are arranged diagonally.

[0048] In addition to swinging the spiral roller 2a to the bottom of the main body 1 for easy cluster assembly, the movable arm 2c can also raise or lower the height of the main body 1 by controlling the swing angle, making it suitable for high-altitude strikes and low-altitude concealment. In fact, while adjusting the height of the main body 1, the movable arm 2c also controls the width of the submarine. In some smaller gaps, by raising the main body 1, the submarine can be made to pass through narrower gaps.

[0049] In this embodiment, a propeller 6a and a propeller drive 6b that drives the propeller 6a to rotate are provided in the middle of the movable arm 2c. When in water, the propeller 6a and propeller drive 6b in the middle of the two movable arms 2c on both sides can realize the vertical movement of the submersible. When the two propeller drives 6b rotate clockwise at the same time, the submersible floats up; when the two propeller drives 6b rotate counterclockwise at the same time, the submersible dives down.

[0050] In other embodiments, each set of spiral rollers 2a may also have two movable arms 2c located at both ends of each set of spiral rollers 2a. In this embodiment, each set of spiral rollers 2a has only one movable arm 2c, which is located between the left-hand spiral roller 2a and the right-hand spiral roller 2a. The other end of the movable arm 2c is sleeve-shaped, such as... Figure 4As shown, the two ends of the sleeve of the movable arm 2c are respectively fitted onto one end of the left-hand spiral drum 2a and the right-hand spiral drum 2a, and the drum drive component 2b is disposed inside the sleeve of the movable arm 2c. Integrating the drum drive component 2b inside the sleeve of the movable arm 2c makes the structure of the submersible more compact and small. Furthermore, the propulsion assembly 2 also includes a propulsion link 2d, one end of which is hinged to the body 1, and the other end of which is hinged to the end of the spiral drum 2a assembly.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the buoyancy assembly 3 includes a cylinder 3a, a push rod mechanism 3b, and a piston 3c. The buoyancy assembly 3 is fixed to the bottom surface of the main body cover 1b.

[0052] The cylinder 3a is sleeve-shaped, with one end being a sealed end and the other end being an open end. The push rod mechanism 3b is a sealing structure that pushes out the push rod. Specifically, it can be an electric push rod or a ball screw structure. The end of the push rod extends into the sealed end of the cylinder 3a and is fixed to the piston 3c. The push rod can push the piston 3c to make a sealed back-and-forth movement inside the cylinder 3a. Specifically, a sealing rubber ring can be fitted on the contact surface between the piston 3c and the cylinder 3a. In this embodiment, the movement of the piston 3c can control the water intake at the open end of the cylinder 3a, thereby changing the buoyancy of the buoyancy assembly 3. There are two sets of buoyancy assemblies 3, symmetrically arranged on the main body 1. The open ends of the cylinders 3a of the two sets of buoyancy assemblies 3 face opposite directions. This arrangement is to ensure that when the buoyancy of the buoyancy assembly 3 is adjusted, the center of gravity of the submersible is kept as central as possible, avoiding a situation where one side has high buoyancy and the other side has low buoyancy, causing the submersible to tilt.

[0053] like Figure 6As shown, the center of gravity assembly 4 includes a frame 4a, a sliding rod 4b, a counterweight slider 4c, and a counterweight drive component 4d. In this embodiment, the frame 4a is fixed to the bottom surface of the main body cover 1b and located between the two sets of floating and sinking assemblies 3. The axis of the sliding rod 4b is parallel to the axis of the cylinder 3a, and both ends of the sliding rod 4b are fixed to the frame 4a. The counterweight slider 4c is sleeved on the sliding rod 4b and can slide back and forth along the length of the sliding rod 4b. The counterweight drive component 4d drives the slider to slide back and forth on the sliding rod. Specifically, the counterweight drive component 4d includes a counterweight drive motor 4d1, a crossbar 4d2, and a swing arm 4d3. The output shaft of the counterweight drive motor 4d1 acts on one end of the swing arm 4d3. The swing arm 4d3 has a long slot 4d3a along its length. The crossbar 4d2 is perpendicular to the slide bar 4b and passes through the counterweight slider 4c. The crossbar 4d2 also passes through the long slot 4d3a. Under the action of the counterweight drive motor 4d1, the swing arm 4d3 swings back and forth. Simultaneously, a through hole parallel to the slide bar 4b needs to be provided on the frame 4a. The end of the crossbar 4d2 is placed in the through hole 4a1. The long slot allows the crossbar 4d2 to move back and forth within the through hole 4a1, thereby driving the counterweight slider 4c to slide back and forth on the slide bar 4b, thus adjusting the center of gravity. In other embodiments, the counterweight drive component 4d can also directly adopt other forms of crank-slider structures.

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment also includes a watertight compartment 5, which can be used to park drones or place other objects. The watertight compartment 5 is located on the top of the main body 1 and includes a storage compartment 5a, a cover 5b, and a cover drive component 5c. The cover drive component 5c drives the cover 5b to rotate around a hinge axis that is hinged to the storage compartment 5a, thereby covering the storage compartment 5a. To ensure the sealing performance of the watertight compartment 5 after it is closed, a sealing ring is essential. As a common method, the sealing ring will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that, in order to ensure the covering effect between the cover 5b and the storage compartment 5a, the storage compartment 5a is made into a sleeve shape. The outer ring of the opening end of the storage compartment 5a has several integrally externally threaded protrusions 5a1.

[0055] The cover 5b includes a cover sleeve 5b1, a cover handle 5b2, a cover sleeve gear 5b3, and a cover sleeve drive 5b4. The cover sleeve 5b1 is shaped like a cover sleeve. The inner ring of the open end of the cover sleeve 5b1 has an inner protrusion 5b1a corresponding to the outer protrusion 5a1, and the outer ring of the closed end of the cover sleeve 5b1 has several external toothed segments 5b1b. One end of the cover handle 5b2 is rotatably connected to the center of the closed end of the cover sleeve 5b1, and the other end of the cover handle 5b2 is fixed to the hinge shaft for the cover 5b to close. The cover sleeve gear 5b3 meshes with the external toothed segments 5b1b. The cover sleeve drive 5b4 is fixed to the cover handle 5b2, and the output end of the cover sleeve drive 5b4 is connected to the center of the cover sleeve gear 5b3 and can drive the cover sleeve gear 5b3 to rotate. The closing process is as follows:

[0056] Driven by the cover drive 5c, the cover 5b rotates around the hinge axis that connects it to the warehouse 5a and closes onto the warehouse 5a. At this time, the outer protrusion 5a1 and the inner protrusion 5b1a are misaligned. Then, the cover drive 5b4 drives the cover gear 5b3 to rotate. The cover gear 5b3 drives the outer toothed section 5b1b, which in turn drives the cover 5b1 to rotate. The rotation of the cover 5b1 causes the outer protrusion 5a1 and the inner protrusion 5b1a to overlap. Since the outer protrusion 5a1 is an integral external thread structure, as more and more of the outer protrusion 5a1 and the inner protrusion 5b1a overlap, the squeezing force between the outer protrusion 5a1 and the inner protrusion 5b1a increases. Similar to the principle of a beverage bottle cap, the greater the squeezing force between the outer protrusion 5a1 and the inner protrusion 5b1a, the tighter the warehouse 5a and the cover 5b are pressed together, and the better the sealing effect.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] like Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a submersible cluster based on Embodiment 1, comprising several submersibles from Embodiment 1, arranged in an array, and connected to each other via an electromagnetic adsorption device 1c. Since different submersibles perform different tasks, the items placed in the storage compartment 5a vary, resulting in different center of gravity positions and weights. When assembling the cluster underwater, this may lead to overall imbalance. The buoyancy component 3 and the center of gravity component 4 effectively adjust the overall center of gravity, ensuring the submersible cluster remains stable.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
