[0002] Underwater emergency rescue is a challenging and dangerous job that aims to rescue and save people who encounter danger or emergency situations underwater.

[0003] Most of the existing underwater emergency rescue equipment are separate probes or sonar devices, which move slowly in the water and are difficult to reach the rescue site quickly or operate flexibly. In addition, some rescue equipment is not bionic, and its shape and color may appear more abrupt underwater and easy to be discovered. For example, when rescuing creatures in the water, overly conspicuous rescue equipment may disturb the target, causing it to panic or take inappropriate actions, thereby affecting the rescue effect. This may have adverse effects in certain special rescue missions.

[0004] To this end, we propose an underwater emergency rescue bionic manta ray equipment carrying platform to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0011] In a further embodiment, a plurality of evenly distributed installation positioning grooves are provided on the surface of the bionic manta ray trunk, and the opening sizes of the installation positioning grooves can be adjusted according to the equipment carried.

[0012] In a further embodiment, a waterproof bionic shell is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bionic manta ray head, and the waterproof bionic shell covers the servo motor to seal it, and the output end of the servo motor extends through the surface of the waterproof bionic shell to the outside to connect with the linkage rod.

Combined with the internal reinforcing rib, the bionic manta ray pectoral fin can better resist external impact and collision and reduce the risk of damage.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The pectoral fins of the bionic manta ray are connected to the trunk of the bionic manta ray by several spherical universal joints. The servo motor is used as the vibration source to drive the movement of the pectoral fins through the servo motor, linkage rod and spherical universal joint.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] See also Figure 1-6The present invention provides a technical solution: an underwater emergency rescue bionic manta ray equipment carrying platform, comprising a bionic manta ray trunk 1 and a linkage rod 2 arranged below the bionic manta ray trunk 1, the bionic manta ray trunk 1, the bionic manta ray tail fin 3, the bionic manta ray head 4, the waterproof bionic shell 10 and a plurality of groups of bionic manta ray pectoral fins 6 make the overall appearance resemble a manta ray, simulate the manta ray working in the water, and imitate the appearance and movement of a real manta ray as a whole. The bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 is connected to the bionic manta ray trunk 1 by a plurality of spherical universal joints 7, and the servo motor 5 is used as a vibration source to drive the movement of the pectoral fin through the servo motor 5, the linkage rod 2 and the spherical universal joint 7. The movement of the servo motor 5 is transmitted to the spherical universal joint 7 through the linkage rod 2, so that the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 produces corresponding movements, pushing the bionic manta ray to move forward, turn, rise and fall in the water, etc. This structure enables the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 to achieve flexible movements, similar to the swimming posture of a real manta ray in the water. The waterproof bionic shell 10 not only plays the role of simulating the head, but also protects the servo motor 5, thereby extending the service life of the servo motor 5.

[0030] The bionic manta ray trunk 1 is made of water-resistant, high-strength carbon fiber, which provides buoyancy for the entire device, allowing it to maintain a certain position and posture in the water. At the same time, the bionic manta ray trunk 1 can also be used as a carrying platform, and various sensors, rescue equipment, etc. can be installed through the installation positioning grooves 9 opened on the surface of the bionic manta ray trunk 1;

[0031] The overall bionic manta ray structure can effectively reduce water resistance, and the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 is made of TPV with a certain toughness and has internal reinforcement ribs. The reinforcement ribs can increase the overall structural strength of the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6, so that it can withstand greater external forces and loads. This helps to improve the stability and reliability of the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 during use and reduce deformation or damage caused by force. TPV itself has a certain toughness and can absorb impact energy to a certain extent. Combined with the internal reinforcement ribs, the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 can better resist external impacts and collisions and reduce the risk of damage. The reinforcing ribs help maintain the shape of the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 to prevent it from being excessively deformed after long-term use or being subjected to external forces. During rescue, an extendable rescue clamp arm 11 is hidden in the bionic manta ray tail fin 3. The rescue clamp arm 11 is usually hidden in the bionic manta ray tail fin 3 to reduce the resistance of the device in the water. When in use, the electric telescopic rod 14 is pushed out to extend the connecting rod 13. Then, an electric rotating shaft 15 is installed on the fixed wall 12 set at the front end of the connecting rod 13. After starting, the two rescue clamp arms 11 can be driven to unfold, so as to clamp the lifeboat, thereby driving it to move quickly to reach the designated target.

[0032] Working principle: The bionic manta ray trunk 1, bionic manta ray tail fin 3, bionic manta ray head 4, waterproof bionic shell 10 and multiple groups of bionic manta ray pectoral fins 6 make the overall appearance similar to a manta ray, simulating the manta ray working in the water, and the overall appearance and movement of a real manta ray are imitated. The bionic manta ray pectoral fins 6 are connected to the bionic manta ray trunk 1 by a number of spherical universal joints 7, and the servo motor 5 is used as a vibration source to drive the movement of the pectoral fins through the servo motor 5, the linkage rod 2 and the spherical universal joint 7. The movement of the servo motor 5 is transmitted to the spherical universal joint 7 through the linkage rod 2, so that the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 produces corresponding movements, pushing the bionic manta ray to move forward, turn, rise and fall in the water, etc. This structure enables the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 to achieve flexible movements, similar to the swimming posture of a real manta ray in the water. The waterproof bionic shell 10 not only simulates the head, but also protects the servo motor 5 and extends the service life of the servo motor 5. The material of the bionic manta ray trunk 1 is set to be highly water-resistant and high-strength carbon fiber, which provides buoyancy for the entire device, allowing it to maintain a certain position and posture in the water. At the same time, the bionic manta ray trunk 1 can also be used as a carrying platform. Various sensors, rescue equipment, etc. can be installed through the installation positioning grooves 9 opened on the surface of the bionic manta ray trunk 1. The overall bionic manta ray structure can effectively reduce the resistance of water, and the material of the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 is set to TPV with a certain toughness and reinforced ribs are set inside. The reinforced ribs can increase the overall structural strength of the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6, so that it can withstand greater external forces and loads. This helps to improve the stability and reliability of the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 during use and reduce deformation or damage caused by stress. TPV itself has a certain toughness and can absorb impact energy to a certain extent. Combined with the internal reinforced ribs, the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 can better resist external impacts and collisions and reduce the risk of damage.The reinforcing ribs help maintain the shape of the bionic manta ray pectoral fin 6 to prevent it from being excessively deformed after long-term use or being subjected to external forces, solving the problem that most existing underwater emergency rescue equipment is a separate probe or sonar device, which moves slowly in the water flow, making it difficult to quickly reach the rescue site or operate flexibly, and some rescue equipment is not bionic, and its shape and color may appear more abrupt underwater and easy to be discovered. For example, when rescuing creatures in the water, overly conspicuous rescue equipment may disturb the target, causing it to panic or take inappropriate actions, thereby affecting the rescue effect. This is particularly true in some special cases. The problem that adverse effects may be brought to the rescue mission, and during the rescue, an extendable rescue clamp arm 11 is hidden in the bionic manta ray tail fin 3, and the rescue clamp arm 11 is usually hidden in the bionic manta ray tail fin 3 to reduce the resistance of the equipment in the water. When in use, the electric telescopic rod 14 is pushed out to extend the connecting rod 13, and then an electric rotating shaft 15 is installed on the fixed wall 12 set at the front end of the connecting rod 13. After starting, the two rescue clamp arms 11 can be driven to unfold, so as to clamp the lifeboat, thereby driving it to move quickly to the designated target.
