Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of underwater robots, and in particular to a vector underwater robot with a backup return system. Background Art

[0002] As is known to all, with the development of economy, the application of underwater robots is becoming more and more extensive, and they are gradually showing their role in many fields such as landform survey, aquaculture, ship maintenance and cleaning, oil development, scientific research and exploration, pipeline inspection, etc.

[0003] At present, there are three mainstream underwater robot mechanical structures: frame type, streamlined type, and hybrid type. Frame type underwater robots generally use a frame as the main body, and the various components are distributed inside the frame structure. The structure of this design is relatively simple and easy to make, but the resistance will be slightly larger when running in water. The appearance design of the streamlined underwater robot imitates the appearance design of fish, and the resistance in water is small, but the internal equipment is difficult to design due to its small size, and it is also slightly troublesome to manufacture. The design of the hybrid underwater robot combines the frame type and streamlined design, but compared with the frame type, it lacks an external overall frame. While reducing the resistance in the water, the internal equipment can be well configured. Based on this, the present invention improves the hybrid underwater robot to achieve the effect that the underwater robot is both stable and reliable, and has better maneuverability.

The water flow pushed out by the side propulsion device is more stable through the fairing, so that the underwater robot can adapt to more extreme underwater environments. Specifically, the encoder adopts the MT6816 encoder, and the output mode uses 1024-line ABZ, which can accurately obtain the motor speed. The brushless motor adopts the DJI2312S motor, wherein the magnetic poles and coils of the brushless motor are sealed with sealant to achieve waterproof and corrosion resistance of the motor, and a fairing is installed on the outside of the propeller of the side-auxiliary propulsion device to reduce water turbulence and prevent it from affecting the robot's posture.
