Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of biomimetic marine technology, and specifically relates to a biomimetic marine jet propulsion device and a control method for the biomimetic marine jet propulsion device. Background Art
[0002] Underwater thrusters are divided into various types according to different overall structural characteristics and working forms, mainly including propeller propulsion, pump-jet propulsion, gliding propulsion, and bionic propulsion. Propeller propulsion has a simple structure, small volume, mature development, and strong reliability, and is widely used in small underwater vehicles.
[0003] Propeller propulsion performs well at low speeds. However, as the blade rotation speed increases, its mechanical efficiency gradually decreases, and cavitation phenomena will occur due to the pressure difference between the blade back and the pressure, resulting in blade vibration erosion and noise problems. In addition, to achieve underwater steering, propeller propulsion needs to deploy multiple propeller thrusters for differential steering or use a steering rudder for cooperation, but this will bring problems such as a decrease in hydrodynamic performance, a large turning radius, slow turning, and poor maneuverability. Therefore, although propeller propulsion is reliable and effective, there are significant differences in performance between low-speed and high-speed scenarios, and it cannot achieve flexible underwater movement.
[0004] Pump-jet propulsion uses a combined hydrodynamic propulsion, which consists of an axisymmetric annular duct and a rotating cascade and a stationary cascade inside the duct. The rotating cascade (rotor) is usually located in an expanding duct, so that the water flow passing through the rotor blades decelerates to delay cavitation generation, improve its cavitation performance, and increase the quiet cruising speed. However, the structure of the pump-jet thruster is relatively complex, the volume is large, and the thrust vectoring degree is relatively low. Therefore, it is not suitable for underwater vehicles with high maneuverability requirements.
[0005] Gliding propulsion uses buoyancy for movement. After the carrier absorbs water, the net buoyancy decreases, resulting in sinking. When sinking, the relative vertical movement of the water above the wing generates a forward lift force. By discharging water at a given depth, the glider increases its net buoyancy and floats to the surface. This method has strong endurance and a long sailing cycle, but the sailing speed is low, it can only be applied to shallow water scenarios, and it is greatly affected by water flow.
[0006] Generally speaking, currently, small and medium-sized underwater submersibles generally adopt traditional propulsion forms such as propellers and pump-jets, lacking in maneuverability, and lacking solutions to improve the maneuverability of the vehicle in the face of complex mission scenarios.

[0054] Beneficial Effects
[0055] The advantages of the marine life-imitation jet propulsion device of the present application are:
[0056] 1. A jet propulsion scheme imitating cephalopods is proposed. By optimizing the shape and physical size of the tail nozzle section, the pressure gradient is stabilized during the injection process, avoiding the violent interaction between the high-pressure fluid and the low-pressure water body. The method of using hydrocarbon and oxygen explosion to drive the piston to generate the jet is adopted to avoid the strong vortex and shear effect caused by traditional propellers and turbines, thereby effectively reducing the cavitation effect and cavitation caused by traditional propulsion forms.
[0057] 2. We designed and manufactured an underwater repeatable jet propulsion device based on butane-oxygen explosion. Through the design of the air pressure feedback buffer chamber, the flow rate of high-pressure gas entering the mixed gas cavity was reduced. Combined with the gas volume-air pressure calculation model, the constant gas fuel volume was accurately controlled to achieve stable impulse combustion jet propulsion. Butane-oxygen was selected as the explosive reactant, and the reaction products were easy to handle and discharge, which improved the sustainability of the explosive jet propulsion. The device configuration and material strength were determined through fluid-solid coupling analysis, ensuring the device's high temperature and high pressure resistance reliability while reducing weight.
[0058] 3. The method of the present application establishes a mathematical analysis model for explosive jets, which reduces the time cost and experimental cost of optimizing the physical parameters of the thruster through finite element simulation and actual experiments, and can be used as a method to quickly construct a data set of thruster jet propulsion results.
[0059] 4. The present application proposes a yaw and acceleration control strategy for a vehicle with four-tube linkage propulsion, which enhances the underwater thruster's ability to quickly change operating conditions. The four-tube layout generates a direction-controllable resultant force by adjusting the combination of nozzle opening (such as synchronous injection of single-side nozzles, alternating injection of diagonal nozzles, etc.), thereby achieving precise yaw control. Through the synchronization of multi-tube injection and rapid adjustment of the amount of gas injection, the vehicle can switch from cruising to high speed in an instant, thereby improving the ability to respond to changing operating conditions. At the same time, a neural network model is introduced for vehicle decision analysis, and the nozzle opening sequence, injection duration and thrust size are dynamically optimized based on real-time underwater sensor data (such as flow rate, depth, target position, etc.), to ensure that the thrust output accurately matches the navigation requirements.

The ocean - organism - imitating jet propulsion device includes a plurality of jet ejectors 1, a high - pressure butane gas - source assembly 5, a high - pressure oxygen gas - source assembly 6, and a buffer - bin assembly.
[0066] Refer to Figure 1 , each jet ejector 1 is installed outside the tail - propulsion section 2 of the underwater drone. There is a 90 - degree interval between each jet ejector and another adjacent jet ejector 1. Each jet ejector 1 includes a jet - ejector body 11, an ignition assembly 12, and a jet - ejector piston 13.
[0067] Refer to Figure 3, inside each injector body 11, there is a jet pipe cavity provided. The injector piston is arranged inside the jet pipe cavity. The injector piston divides the jet pipe cavity into a liquid cavity 111 and a mixed gas cavity 112. Each mixed gas cavity 112 is communicated through a multi-way valve. The injector piston 31 can move to adjust the volume of the liquid cavity 111 and the volume of the mixed gas cavity 112. A liquid outlet is arranged on the injector body; in this embodiment, through the control of the multi-way valve, the gas can enter the mixed gas cavity 112 of any injector as needed.

The device configuration and material strength are determined through fluid-solid coupling analysis, and the high temperature and high pressure resistance reliability of the device are improved while reducing the weight.

[0147] Calculate the relationship curve between the single injector propulsion force and time for each offset angle information and each offset rate information respectively through formulas. Specifically, the relationship curve between the single injector propulsion force and time is obtained through the following formula:
[0148] where θ is the offset angle, d is the arm length of the propulsion force acting on the vehicle, I zz is the moment of inertia of the vehicle, and T is the offset time.
[0149] For each relationship curve between the single injector propulsion force and time obtained through the formula (multiple relationship curves between the single injector propulsion force and time can be obtained for each offset angle information and each offset rate information). For example, when the offset angle information is 30 degrees and the offset rate information is 1 degree per second, multiple relationship curves between the single injector propulsion force and time may be obtained through the above formula. When the offset angle information is 30 degrees and the offset rate information is 2 degrees per second, multiple relationship curves between the single injector propulsion force and time may also appear. Or when the offset angle information is 32 degrees and the offset rate information is 2 degrees per second, multiple relationship curves between the single injector propulsion force and time may also appear.
[0150] After obtaining these relationship curves between the single injector propulsion force and time, remove some unreasonable relationship curves between the single injector propulsion force and time through simulation or experimental simulation, and use the other relationship curves between the single injector propulsion force and time as the training relationship curves between the single injector propulsion force and time.
[0151] In this embodiment, each group of relationship curves between the single injector propulsion force and time corresponds to different gas volume inputs, and the initial pressure changes controllably. Under multiple groups of different relationship curves between the single injector propulsion force and time, pre-training can be performed through the neural network model and deployed in the control system of the bio-inspired ocean vehicle jet propulsion device to achieve precise control of the deflection pose.
[0152] In this embodiment, the index of the optimal relationship curve between the single injector propulsion force and time output by the neural network is i * The corresponding propulsion force distribution meets the pose deflection target and has the lowest penalty in terms of fuel consumption and structural wear.
[0153] In this embodiment, the total penalty function of the neural network is defined as follows:
[0154] L(F i ) = w 1 ·L angle +w 2 ·L fuel +w 3 ·L struct ;

[0159] Structural safety threshold loss function of the neural network:
[0160] L struct = max(0, max(P initial ) - P threshold ) 2 .

Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
