Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile robots, and in particular to a small-sized water surface jumping robot and a jumping method based on efficient energy storage and rapid recoil. Background Art
[0002] Water surface jumping robots have the ability to move quickly on the water surface, cross obstacles, and perform tasks. They can be applied to environmental monitoring, search and rescue missions, military reconnaissance and other fields. In the rapid development of modern robotics technology, water surface jumping robots have gradually attracted the attention of researchers due to their unique movement mode and broad application prospects. Robots jumping on rigid ground can theoretically completely convert the impulse of the ground reaction force into the momentum of jumping. Increasing its actuation force and the reaction force action time can effectively increase its jumping height and distance. However, this principle is not applicable to water surface jumping. Due to the fluidity of the water surface, energy dissipation caused by splashing water, and the drag resistance of the robot leaving the water surface, the water surface jumping robot cannot efficiently utilize the reaction force of the water, and the energy utilization rate is greatly reduced, affecting the jumping performance. At the same time, the mass of the water surface jumping robot is also an important factor affecting the robot's impulse. According to the momentum theorem, when the impulse value is fixed, the robot's jumping speed decreases rapidly with the increase of mass. However, the batteries, sensors and other equipment carried by the robot for application will inevitably increase the mass, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce the robot's jumping performance and affect practical applications.
[0003] Existing patents such as a high energy storage water surface jumping robot and jumping method (application number: CN202311740492.3), including a main support frame, a water surface support system, an efficient transmission system, an energy storage system and a drive system. The energy storage energy density is increased through optimization analysis. The drive system is symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the robot. The water surface support system is located at the bottom of the robot. The efficient transmission system is installed inside the water surface support system. The efficient transmission system drives the energy storage system to store and release energy to the carbon fiber sheet and latex strip, providing the energy required for jumping, and driving the drive system to realize the water surface jumping movement; the motor shaft direct drive method is used to greatly improve the energy storage efficiency, and the carbon fiber sheet and latex strip are used as energy storage elements, which have the characteristics of light weight and high energy storage density. However, the robot itself will reduce the jumping performance of the robot when it needs to carry a certain load. In addition, the driving mechanism of the robot is inefficient, and its driving method will increase the flipping of the robot, resulting in effective energy loss and jump failure.

The through holes on the vertical side and the through holes on the horizontal side are not located in the same plane. The transverse through hole close to the connecting rod base 20 is hinged to the angle adjustment bracket 28 through the carbon fiber shaft 22. The angle adjustment bracket 28 is provided with a plurality of equidistant holes for fixing with the adjustment holes of the support base 7 through pins. 25 passes through and is fixed in a vertical through hole on one side, the other end of the pressure rod 25 is connected to the through hole on the rear pressure rod seat 29, the rear pressure rod seat 29 is fixed to the end face of the connecting rod base frame 20, and a through hole is opened on the side of the rear pressure rod seat 29 for forming a hinge connection with the support base frame 7; the guide wheel frame 18 is installed on the head of the connecting rod base frame 20, and the guide wheel 19 is installed inside the guide wheel frame 18 for installing the pull wire 41; the connecting rod 27 is connected to the carbon fiber driving leg 31 through the driving leg seat 30, and the end of the carbon fiber driving leg 31 is connected to the driving plate 32, and the driving plate 32 is a circular plate structure;
[0053] Combination Figure 8As shown, the transmission system includes a motor 33, a motor seat 34, a carbon fiber baffle 35, a slider groove 36, a lead screw 37, a bearing 38, a bearing seat 39 and a slider 40.

[0055] Combination Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the key feature of the drive system 4 is that the four-bar mechanism with torque reversal forms a latch, and the trigger device causes the four-bar linkage to unlock the system through the center. The torque change of the left link is explained. The torque change of the corresponding link on the right is opposite to that of the corresponding link on the left. At the initial moment, the SMA spring 15 does not generate tension, the torque M1 received by the link 1 23 is clockwise, the torques M2 and M3 received by the link 2 27 and the link 3 26 are clockwise, and the outer part of the hinge B contacts the link 3 26. At this time, the mechanism is locked; when releasing, the SMA spring 15 is powered on and heated, which generates a tension Fs. As Fs increases, the torque M3 received by the link 3 26 gradually decreases and increases in the opposite direction, causing the link 3 26 to rotate counterclockwise, the contact point disappears, and finally makes point B cross the line connecting the hinges C and D. At this time, the torque of the link 2 27 is reversed, and the drive system 4 is quickly released under the action of the output force Fe of the energy storage system 3 and the action force Fs of the SMA spring 15.

The material of SMA spring 15 is nickel-titanium shape memory alloy, which can be energized and contracted for mechanism release.
[0057] The support leg seat 8 and the rectangular foam leg 9 are both bonded and fixed by hot melt adhesive.
[0058] The plurality of equidistant holes on the angle adjustment bracket 28 are used to arbitrarily cooperate with the adjustment holes on the T-shaped reinforcement ribs on the support base 7 to achieve adjustment of the pitch angle of the drive system 4 .
[0059] The baffle 24, the guide wheel frame 18, the front pressure rod seat 21, the rear pressure rod seat 29, the motor seat 34 and the bearing seat 39 are all fixed to the connecting rod base frame 20 by bolts; the hinges between the connecting rods are all hinged by pins.
[0060] Specific implementation plan 2: Combined Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention provides a jumping method of a small water surface jumping robot based on efficient energy storage and rapid recoil, comprising the following steps:
[0061] Energy storage locking process, combined with Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In (a) and (b), the motor 33 drives the lead screw 37 to rotate and drive the slider 40 to move downward, driving the pull wire 41 to move downward, and then driving the ends of the pull wire 41 to pull the connecting rod 27. Under the meshing of the gear 16 and the gear 2 17, the connecting rods on both sides rotate symmetrically, the connecting rod 2 27 and the connecting rod 3 26 on the left side rotate clockwise, and the connecting rod 1 23 rotates counterclockwise, and the connecting rod 2 27 and the connecting rod 3 26 on the right side rotate counterclockwise, and the connecting rod 1 23 rotates clockwise. At this time, the two connecting rods rotate symmetrically. The hinge point of the side link 1 23 and the link 2 27 is compressed inward, driving the energy storage connection seat 14 and the carbon fiber sheet seat 11 on both sides to compress, causing the energy storage carbon sheet 12 to bend and deform, and at the same time, the latex 13 is passively stretched, and the energy storage carbon sheet 12 and the latex 13 are coupled to store energy. Finally, the hinge point of the link 1 23 and the link 2 27 contacts the outer wall of the link 3 26, the motor 33 stops rotating, and the slider 40 stops moving. At this time, because the drive system 4 is in the locked position, the drive system 4 is locked under the action of the storage capacity;
[0062] Energy release jump process, combined with Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In (c), the driving motor 33 rotates in the opposite direction, the slider 40 returns to the initial position, the pull wire 41 is in a relaxed state, the SMA spring 15 is energized and heated, and the SMA spring 15 generates a pulling force. As the pulling force gradually increases, the locking position of the driving system 4 is destroyed. The driving system 4 is released under the storage capacity and the pulling force of the SMA spring 15, and the connecting rod 27 drives the driving plate 32 to produce a paddling action, causing the robot to jump.
