Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions of each embodiment can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that the technical solutions can be realized by those skilled in the art, and when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, nor within the scope of protection required by the present application.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 In an embodiment, a robot with a bionic motion mechanism includes a body main body 1, a control box, a camera module 10 and a lighting assembly 11 are arranged at the front end of the body main body 1, fan assemblies 2 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the body main body 1, a tail wing assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the tail of the body main body 1, and a water sample collection assembly 3 is arranged between the body main body 1 and the tail wing assembly 4.

[0047] The driving assembly 5 is arranged in the fuselage body 1, and the output end of the driving assembly 5 is connected with a rotating disc 6, and the rotating disc 6 is provided with a first eccentric rod 7 at the end away from the driving assembly 5, and the first eccentric rod 7 is connected with the tail wing assembly 4 through a transmission assembly 8;

[0048] The first eccentric rod 7 is in sliding connection with a sliding block 9 arranged in the fuselage body 1, and the sliding block 9 is connected with the fan assembly 2;

[0049] The driving assembly 5, the camera module 10, the lighting assembly 11 and the water sample collection assembly 3 are connected with a control box, and the control box is electrically connected with a storage battery 12.

[0050] Specifically, on the basis of the above embodiment, a cavity is arranged in the front end of the fuselage body 1, and the control box, the camera module 10 and the lighting assembly 11 are arranged in the cavity, and the front end of the fuselage body 1 is provided with a high-definition glass plate 14 matched with the cavity. It can be understood that the lighting assembly 11 provides sufficient light, so that the camera module 10 can clearly obtain underwater image and video information, and the camera module 10 transmits the collected image data to an image processing unit, and the image processing unit analyzes and processes the image through an image recognition algorithm to identify the characteristics and types of the target. For example, underwater organisms, objects or specific markers, etc.

[0051] Further, the cavity is further arranged with a wireless module and a positioning module, and the wireless module and the positioning module are connected with the control box. The wireless module can be wirelessly connected with a display instrument on land, so that the data of the robot in water can be displayed on the display instrument, which is convenient for the staff to observe. At the same time, the positioning module can be used to position the position of the robot in water, so as to avoid loss.

[0052] Preferably, the positioning module specifically comprises an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a geomagnetic sensor and a corresponding data processing module. Before the bionic fish is put into water, the initial position and attitude of the bionic fish need to be calibrated, and the initial position information is input into the data processing module. When the bionic fish moves in water, the IMU measures the acceleration and angular velocity of the bionic fish in real time, the geomagnetic sensor measures the geomagnetic direction to obtain the heading data of the bionic fish, and the data processing module processes the data collected by the IMU and the geomagnetic sensor. By integrating the acceleration, the speed and displacement information of the bionic fish can be obtained. Combined with the heading information provided by the geomagnetic sensor, the direction of the displacement is corrected. At the same time, the data of the two sensors are fused by using a sensor fusion algorithm (such as Kalman filtering), so as to improve the accuracy and stability of the positioning.

[0053] Preferably, in order to avoid loss of the robot, a thin rope can be connected with a weight or a fixed object on land at the position of the threading hole 13. When it is needed to return the robot, the robot can be pulled back by winding the thin rope.

[0054] It is understandable that, in this embodiment, taking a bionic fish as an example, by activating the drive component 5, the first eccentric rod 7 rotates, causing the slider 9 to slide up and down. While the slider 9 slides, it causes the fan component 2 to repeatedly swing, thus simulating the flapping motion of a fish's wings. At the same time, during the rotation of the first eccentric rod 7, the tail fin component 4 swings left and right on the main body 1 through the transmission component 8, thus simulating the swaying motion of a fish's tail. By using a single drive component 5, the bionic robot can simultaneously simulate multiple biological actions, eliminating the need for multiple independently driven power components and complex programming or control algorithms. This effectively reduces the weight of the jumping bionic robot while achieving more realistic simulation of biological behavior. Furthermore, by saving on the power components, the robot has more layout space. By setting up the water sample collection component 3, water samples can be collected at a specified depth. By setting up the lighting component 11 and the camera module 10, the underwater environment can be photographed, making the overall functionality more complete.

[0055] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 Based on the above embodiments, the drive assembly 5 includes a motor 501, a first gear 502, a second gear 503, and a rotating shaft 504;

[0056] The main body 1 is equipped with a motor 501 and a rotating shaft 504. The motor 501 is electrically connected to the control box. The output shaft of the motor 501 is equipped with a rotary encoder, which is connected to the control box for signal transmission. The output shaft is also connected to a first gear 502. The first gear 502 meshes with a second gear 503. The second gear 503 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 504, and the other end of the rotating shaft 504 is connected to a turntable 6.

[0057] Further, please refer to Figure 4 The fan assembly 2 includes a fixed rod 201, a connecting shaft 202, and a bionic fish fin 203; the bionic fish fin 203 is rotatably connected to the main body 1, and two fixed rods 201 are provided on the slider 9. The two fixed rods 201 are connected to each other through the connecting shaft 202, and the connecting shaft 202 is connected to the bionic fish fin 203.

[0058] It is understandable that by setting an encoder on the output shaft of motor 501, the real-time speed and rotation direction of motor 501 can be accurately obtained, realizing the dynamic detection of the speed of motor 501. The speed and direction of motor 501 have an important impact on the movement state of the bionic fish. By changing the speed of motor 501, the speed of tail rotation and wing flapping can be adjusted, thereby controlling the propulsion force of the bionic fish.

[0059] For example, when rapid ascent or descent is required, the rotation speed of the motor 501 is increased to increase the propulsion force; when stability at a certain depth is required, the rotation speed of the motor 501 is reduced. The steering of the motor 501 can control the direction of the tail rotation, realize the steering and posture adjustment of the bionic fish. For example, when steering to the left or right is required, the steering of the motor 501 is changed, so that the tail rotates to the left or right accordingly.

[0060] In particular, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 On the basis of the above embodiment, the tail wing assembly 4 comprises an adapter block 401, a rotating rod 402 and a swing assembly 403.

[0061] The swing assembly 403 is connected by a plurality of swing units, the swing units are rotationally connected, and the swing unit at the end is provided with a bionic fish tail.

[0062] Both ends of the rotating rod 402 penetrate the adapter block 401 and are rotationally connected with the body main body 1, one end of the adapter block 401 is connected with the swing assembly 403, and the other end of the adapter block 401 is provided with a sliding groove 404, and the sliding groove 404 is connected with the transmission assembly 8.

[0063] Further, the transmission assembly 8 comprises a transmission shaft 801, a rotating wheel 802 and a second eccentric rod 803; the first eccentric rod 7 is connected with one end of the transmission shaft 801, the other end of the transmission shaft 801 penetrates the tail of the body main body 1 and is connected with the rotating wheel 802, the rotating wheel 802 is provided with the second eccentric rod 803, and the second eccentric rod 803 is connected with the sliding groove 404.

[0064] It can be understood that the power is transmitted to the tail wing assembly 4 through the transmission assembly 8, so that the tail wing assembly 4 can repeatedly swing on the body main body 1, realize the action of simulating the tail swing of fish biological, without adding other power mechanism to drive the tail wing assembly 4, which can effectively reduce the weight of the bionic robot, and is beneficial to the swimming of the bionic robot.

[0065] In particular, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 On the basis of the above embodiment, the water sample collection assembly 3 comprises a mounting bracket 301, a pressure sensor 305, a clamping assembly and a collector 302,

[0066] The mounting bracket 301 is provided with the pressure sensor 305, the clamping assembly and the collector 302, the collector 302 is fixedly connected with the mounting bracket 301 through the clamping assembly,

[0067] The collector 302 is provided with a water inlet 303 and a water outlet 304, the water inlet 303 is provided with a control valve, and the pressure sensor 305 and the control valve are signal connected with the control box.

[0068] The pressure sensor 305 can convert the sensed water pressure into an electrical signal, which is converted into a corresponding depth value by a signal processing circuit, and the depth position of the bionic fish is detected by utilizing the relationship between liquid pressure and depth. When the pressure sensor 305 detects that the robot reaches the preset depth position, the control box controls the control valve to open, and the water sample is collected into the collector 302. After reaching the preset time, the control box sends an instruction to the control valve again to close the control valve, and the collection of the water sample is completed.

[0069] Preferably, the mounting rack 301 is mainly composed of two mutually rotating semicircular rings, one of which is internally provided with a spring and a wedge-shaped block, and the wedge-shaped block is clamped and connected with the other semicircular ring. In the unlocking process, only the wedge-shaped block needs to be pulled to push the spring in a compression mode to achieve quick unlocking. By setting the mounting rack 301 and the clamping assembly, the quick mounting and unlocking of the collector 302 can be achieved.

[0070] Preferably, the transmitter can use a piezoelectric ceramic transducer, and the receiver can use a piezoelectric ceramic hydrophone. The transmitter (such as a piezoelectric ceramic transducer) emits acoustic signals to the surrounding water area. When the acoustic signals encounter obstacles during propagation, they will be reflected. The receiver (such as a piezoelectric ceramic hydrophone) receives the reflected acoustic signals and converts them into electrical signals. The signal processing unit analyzes the electrical signals and calculates the distance, direction, and other parameters of the obstacles based on the propagation time, intensity, and other information of the acoustic signals. The control system adjusts the movement direction and speed of the robot based on these parameters to achieve obstacle avoidance and navigation functions. For example, when an obstacle appears in front of the robot, the receiver receives a stronger reflected signal, and the signal processing unit calculates that the distance to the obstacle is closer. The control system will control the robot to turn or slow down to avoid the obstacle.

[0071] Specifically, on the basis of the above embodiment, a sonar system (not marked in the figure) is further included, which is arranged inside the cavity. The sonar system includes a transmitter, a receiver, a signal processing unit, and a control system. The receiver is connected to the signal processing unit, and the transmitter, the signal processing unit, and the control system are connected.

[0072] It can be understood that the sonar system is used to capture underwater acoustic information, including the position, distance, shape, and other information of the target. The transmitter in the sonar system emits acoustic signals to the surrounding water area. When the acoustic signals encounter targets or obstacles during propagation, they will be reflected. The receiver receives the reflected acoustic signals and converts them into electrical signals. The signal processing unit analyzes the electrical signals and calculates the distance, direction, and other parameters of the target based on the propagation time, intensity, and other information of the acoustic signals. For example, when the robot searches for underwater targets, the sonar system can detect the approximate position and distance of the target.

[0077] When the robot dives to the vicinity of the specified depth position, the control box sends instructions to the control valve, the control valve is opened, and water samples are collected;

[0078] Using the motor 501 to drive the fan assembly 2 and the tail assembly 4 to control the swimming of the robot, and using the positioning module to return the robot.

[0079] In summary, when using the robot with a biomimetic motion mechanism, the motor 501 is started, the rotating shaft 504 rotates under the transmission of the first gear 502 and the second gear 503, the rotating shaft 504 drives the rotating disc 6 and the first eccentric rod 7 to rotate, the first eccentric rod 7 drives the sliding block 9 to slide up and down along the axis of the guide rod during rotation, the sliding block 9 drives the fixed rod 201, the connecting shaft 202 and the biomimetic fin 203 to move downward while sliding downward, and the sliding block 9 repeatedly slides up and down to simulate the wing flapping action of the biomimetic fin 203;

[0080] Meanwhile, the first eccentric rod 7 is connected with the transmission shaft 801 through the sliding block 9, driving the transmission shaft 801, the rotating wheel 802 and the second eccentric rod 803 to rotate, since the second eccentric rod 803 slides in the sliding groove 404 on the adapter block 401, the adapter block 401 is rotationally connected with the main body 1, and the second eccentric rod 803 drives the swing assembly 403 to swing repeatedly during rotation, simulating the tail swing action of the biological organism;

[0081] When the robot in the present application is placed in water, the water environment of the lighting assembly 11 and the camera module 10 is used for shooting, and the sonar system is used to detect the surrounding environment of the water body; at the same time, when descending to the preset depth, the water sample collection assembly 3 can be used to collect water samples, which is convenient for researchers to study the water samples;
