Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of underwater robots, in particular to an amphibious robot with multiple motion modes for dam defect detection. Background Art

[0002] There are nearly 100,000 reservoirs in my country. Under the influence of deep water pressure, dams will suffer structural damage such as erosion and cracks over time. Therefore, regular defect inspections of dam bodies are particularly important for the safe operation of dams.

[0003] Dam defect detection not only includes the detection of underwater dam bodies, but also the detection of above-water dam bodies. The detection of above-water dam bodies mainly relies on manual operation. However, manual operation has a high risk factor. On the one hand, it is due to the fact that the dam body has an inclined slope. On the other hand, as the water level of the reservoir drops, mosses and other plants will adhere to the slope of the dam body, making the slope of the dam body slippery and causing trouble for the movement of personnel. When conducting underwater dam body inspections, it is more dependent on inspectors wearing diving suits to perform underwater operations. Due to the limitations of the underwater environment, their means of exploration are very limited, especially when the water depth increases and the defect locations are widely distributed. The above manual inspection methods, whether it is above-water or underwater inspections, have the problems of high risk and low efficiency.

[0004] The propeller-propelled underwater robots manufactured for underwater inspection also have shortcomings during use, mainly manifested in a single deployment method. They can only be deployed on the relatively gentle slope of the dam body above water, and are prone to stir up sediments when conducting underwater inspections of the dam body, affecting optical perception and causing great problems for the accuracy and efficiency of inspections.

[0044] Optionally, the four corners of the top of the main body 1 are respectively provided with hanging rings 28. The hanging rings 28 are used for the recovery and deployment of the robot.

[0045] Optionally, brackets 29 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the top of the main body 1. The brackets 29 on both sides can facilitate people to manually realize the recovery and deployment of the robot.

[0046] The robot has three motion modes: paddle motion mode, foot motion mode and wheel motion mode.

[0047] When moving in water, the robot adopts paddle-type motion, and can realize flexible three-dimensional motion in water through four vertical propellers 17 and four vector propellers 15. When moving in paddle-type motion, the four mobile components are all attached to the side of the underwater robot, and the mobile components are placed in the collision avoidance device at the front and rear of the robot by adjusting the joint angles of the coxa 19, femur 20 and tibia 21 to protect the front sensing auxiliary mechanism and the cable connection port at the rear.

[0048] When in the paddle-like motion state, the coxa 19 is parallel to the ground and points toward the head, the femur 20 is folded upward and backward, and the tibia 21 is folded forward in the same direction as the coxa 19, forming a Z-shape as a whole. The coxa 19 and the femur 20 are both straightened backward, and the tibia 21 is folded upward. By adjusting the posture as described above, collision avoidance in the underwater environment can be achieved to increase safety and improve the balance of the robot. When working at the bottom of the dam, in order to reduce the disturbance to the sediment at the bottom of the dam, foot-like motion is adopted to facilitate the optical perception and detection of the robot.

[0049] When the dam body moves on the water slope, wheeled movement is adopted. By retracting the tibia 21, the Mecanum wheel 2202 at the bend of the tibia 21 is in contact with the dam body. Due to the characteristics of the Mecanum wheel 2202, omnidirectional movement in the plane can be achieved. However, due to the large load during lateral movement, the wheeled movement is divided into two postures, including forward and oblique movement postures and lateral movement postures; when in the forward and oblique movement postures: the robot adopts the forward and oblique movement postures, the base segment 19 of the robot's front side moving component extends forward, the femur 20 is 45° forward and downward, and the femur 20 is folded inward. The posture of the rear side moving component is symmetrical with the posture of the front side moving component. At this time, forward and oblique movement can be achieved. When in the lateral movement leg posture: the robot adopts the lateral movement leg posture, the base segment of the robot moving component is 90° to the side with the main body, the femur 20 is 45° downward with the ground, and the tibia 21 is folded inward. At this time, lateral movement can be achieved. It has a compact and reasonable structural design and is easy to operate. It replaces manual operation with mechanical operation, effectively improving work efficiency while reducing risks. The robot can be deployed at any position on the dam body, and through the "paddle-wheel-foot" multi-mode combined movement, it can achieve autonomous cross-media deployment and recovery, underwater collision avoidance, in-situ fine detection, anti-disturbance and other scenario operations. It can meet the defect detection needs of most dams, and makes up for the shortcomings of ordinary underwater robots that are complicated to deploy and recover, and underwater inspection of dam bodies easily stirs up sediments that affect optical detection. It has high versatility, is safe and efficient, and solves the problems existing in the existing technology.

[0050] The complete process of using the robot is as follows:

[0051] Deployment: Generally, the operator places the robot on the water slope of the dam body. At this time, the robot is in a wheeled motion state. The robot moves to the land-water junction of the dam body through wheeled motion and stops.

[0052] Crossing the medium and entering the water: After the robot moves to the land-water junction of the dam body, it switches from the wheeled motion state to the footed motion state. The reason is that the unfolded legs have a stronger ability to adjust the posture of the main body 1, which can ensure the stability of the robot during the cross-medium process. After the robot is converted to the footed motion state, it crosses the medium and enters the water by walking until the robot is completely immersed in the water.

[0053] Underwater facade detection: After the robot is completely immersed in water, it switches from the foot-type motion state to the paddle-type motion state. Through the four vertical thrusters 17 and four vector thrusters 15, the robot can perform flexible horizontal motion while maintaining the same depth. After scanning, detecting, and recording the facade at this depth, it gradually dives and repeats the previous scanning and detection steps.

[0054] Dam bottom inspection: After approaching the dam bottom, first use the imaging capture unit to scan and detect areas where defects may occur. After approaching, switch from the paddle motion state to the foot motion state. The reason is that the foot motion state causes less disturbance to the sediment at the dam bottom than the paddle motion state, which is conducive to the optical detection of the bottom environment capture unit. After reaching the suspected defect point, switch from the walking leg posture to the standing leg posture, and use the Ocean To lols C7-30 halo camera to detect the suspected defect point. After the inspection is completed, switch from the foot motion state to the paddle motion state, and repeat the inspection steps until all areas are inspected.

[0055] Floating: After all areas are inspected, the boat floats up through four vertical thrusters 17. When it is close to the water surface, it moves toward the dam bank through four vector thrusters 15. When approaching the dam bank, the boat keeps its head facing the dam bank because the front leg posture is forward in the paddle movement to avoid collision. When it switches to the foot posture when approaching the bank, it can just hold the dam bank, making it easier to cross the medium and get out of the water.

[0056] Recovery: After the robot moves to the water-land junction of the dam, it switches from the paddle-type motion state to the foot-type motion state, and uses its front feet to hold the dam as a fulcrum to move forward, completing the cross-medium exit from the water. After it is completely on shore, it switches from the foot-type motion state to the wheel-type motion state, moves to the deployment position, and completes the recovery.
