The safety inspection of submarine cables has always been one of the important contents of offshore power transmission.

[0017] The present invention provides a working method of an amphibious submarine cable detection robot suitable for a tidal flat environment, which is specifically as follows:
[0018] In the initial state, each electric push rod is fully retracted, and each flipper of each flipper device moves toward the center of the connection plate. The two rear wheel devices drive the hull forward, and the two front wheel devices drive the hull to turn, so that the hull moves to the coast and moves along the direction of the submarine cable. At the same time, the camera monitors the surrounding environment and the magnetometer monitors the magnetic field of the submarine cable.
[0019] Among them, when the hull moves on the mudflat and in water with a depth less than a preset depth, each electric push rod is in a fully retracted state, and the rims of each rear wheel device are successively fitted end to end to form a ring. The controller controls each drive motor to synchronously drive each wheel hub to rotate, and each wheel hub drives the two rings to rotate through each electric push rod and each connecting rod, thereby driving the hull forward on the mudflat, and when the rim of each rear wheel device at the bottom contacts the sand, the bottom end of the rim sinks into the sand, and in the flipper device corresponding to the rim, the opening of the fixing frame is inserted into the sand, and the sand entering the opening pushes the bottom plate upward. The force causes the bottom plate to drive the bottom plate rod to move upward, the bottom plate rod compresses the compression spring, and drives the telescopic rod to rotate upward, shortening the telescopic rod. At the same time, the telescopic rod drives the two fin rods to rotate downward through the cylindrical gear pair and the bevel gear pair, thereby driving the flippers to rotate downward and unfold, so that the flippers contact the sand, increasing the contact area between the wheel rim and the sand. As the corresponding ring rotates, the wheel rim is out of contact with the sand, and the restoring force of the compression spring pushes the bottom plate rod to drive the bottom plate back to its original position, the bottom plate rod drives the telescopic rod to extend and rotate to its original position, and the telescopic rod drives the two fin rods and the flippers to rotate to their original positions through the cylindrical gear pair and the bevel gear pair.
[0020] When the hull moves in water with a depth not less than a preset depth, the controller controls the piston rods of each electric push rod to extend synchronously, and the piston rods of each electric push rod push the wheel rims to rotate outward, so that the wheel rims of each rear wheel device unfold into paddles. The controller controls each drive motor to synchronously drive the wheel hubs to rotate, and each wheel hub drives the wheel rims to rotate through the electric push rods and connecting rods, thereby paddling and driving the hull forward in the water.
[0021] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. The present invention can be applied to mudflat environments and waterline changes to detect the landing section of submarine cables. Specifically, when the electric push rods in the rear wheel device are fully retracted, the wheel rims are fitted end to end to form a circular ring, and the driving motor drives the wheel hub to drive the circular ring to roll on the mudflat, thereby driving the hull forward, and multiple fin devices are arranged on the outside of the circular ring, so that when the hull moves on the mudflat, when the bottom end of one of the wheel rims sinks into the sand, the sand enters the opening of the fixing frame of the corresponding fin device, and the fins of the corresponding fin device rotate downward to contact the sand, thereby increasing the contact area between the wheel rim and the sand, preventing the wheel rim from sinking and slipping, and having an anti-sinking function, so that the present invention can travel on the mudflat. When the wheel rim leaves the sand surface, the restoring force of the compression spring drives the flipper to leave the sand surface and return to its original position, thereby enabling the present invention to achieve efficient movement, enhancing the walking ability of the present invention in a tidal flat environment, and improving the overall stability and reliability; further, when the piston rod of each electric push rod is extended, the piston rod of each electric push rod pushes each wheel rim to expand outward to form a paddle blade, and the driving motor drives the wheel hub to drive each wheel rim to paddle in the water, thereby propelling the hull forward, so that the present invention can move on the water; the present invention has amphibious function, thereby being able to adapt to the tidal flat environment and waterline changes.
[0023] 2. The present invention uses the shape of the ostrich's foot mastoid as a bionic prototype, and adds bionic protrusions to the front wheel cylindrical surface of the front wheel device, thereby increasing the grip of the front wheel and preventing it from slipping and idling.

[0045] The present invention provides a working method of an amphibious submarine cable detection robot suitable for a tidal flat environment, which is specifically as follows:
[0046] In the initial state, the amphibious submarine cable detection robot suitable for the tidal flat environment of the present invention is located on the hard ground of the cement road, each electric push rod is fully retracted, and each fin 707 of each fin device 7 moves toward the center of the connecting plate 9.

At the same time, the camera 804 monitors the surrounding environment and the magnetometer monitors the magnetic field of the submarine cable.
[0048] When the hull moves on the mudflats and in shallow water (the water depth is less than the preset depth, measured by the liquid level sensor installed on the hull, and the signal output terminal of the liquid level sensor is connected to the controller), each electric push rod 603 is in a fully retracted state, and each wheel rim 602 of each rear wheel device 6 is successively attached end to end to form a ring, such as Figure 5As shown, the controller controls each driving motor 5 to synchronously drive each wheel hub 601 to rotate, and each wheel hub 601 drives two circular rings to rotate through each electric push rod 603 and each connecting rod 604, thereby driving the hull to move forward on the mudflat, and when the rim 602 of each rear wheel device 6 is at the bottom and contacts the sand, the bottom end portion of the rim 602 sinks into the sand, and in the flipper device 7 corresponding to the rim 602, the opening of the fixing frame 701 is inserted into the sand, and the sand entering the opening generates an upward thrust on the corresponding bottom plate 708, so that the bottom plate 708 drives the bottom plate rod 710 to move upward, and the bottom plate rod 710 compresses the compression spring 712, and drives the telescopic rod 709 to rotate upward, so that the telescopic rod 709 is shortened, and at the same time, the telescopic rod 709 drives the two flipper rods 706 to rotate downward through the cylindrical gear pair and the bevel gear pair, thereby driving the flipper 707 to rotate downward and unfold, so that the flipper 707 contacts the sand, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the contact area between the wheel rim 602 and the sand is increased, the sinking of the wheel rim 602 is slowed down, and slipping is avoided. As the corresponding ring rotates, the wheel rim 602 is out of contact with the sand, and the restoring force of the compression spring 712 pushes the bottom plate rod 710 to drive the bottom plate 708 back to the original position. The bottom plate rod 710 drives the telescopic rod 709 to extend and rotate to the original position.
