Description

[0002] China is a big country of marine resources, and sustainable development and utilization of marine resources are of great benefit to the present and future generations. For the marine environment that is difficult for humans to access or not suitable for humans to reach, intelligent submersible robots can perform tasks and provide important technical support for scientific research, resource development, safety monitoring and other fields.

[0003] The ballast tank is a common device for achieving submersion. Taking a submarine as an example, according to Archimedes' principle, the submarine changes its own gravity to achieve floating and sinking. When the submarine needs to sink, it will either pump out the water in the ballast tank through an air compressor or let seawater into the ballast tank through a valve to increase the weight of the submarine and make it sink. When the submarine needs to float, it will either pump out the water in the ballast tank through an air compressor or let compressed air into the ballast tank to expel the water, thereby reducing the weight of the submarine and making it float.

[0004] Currently, there are still many technical gaps in the field of intelligent submersible robots in China.
