Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of underwater bionic robots, in particular to a multi-angle bionic penguin underwater detection robot. Background Art
[0002] Research shows that due to the long time a ship spends underwater, a large number of marine organisms are easily attached to the part below the waterline of the hull, forming ship bottom fouling, or causing safety hazards such as welding cracks and seawater corrosion. Once these potential dangers occur, they often cause irreparable losses. Therefore, timely and high-quality underwater hull inspection is the fundamental guarantee for the safe navigation of ships.
[0003] Patent "CN201811499595.4" proposes an underwater hull inspection robot and its working method. The robot uses a propeller as a device for adjusting the fuselage orientation and as the main power propulsion, and is equipped with a camera module, a structured light scanner module and other devices to form a scanning and inspection system. The system is used to photograph and scan the underwater hull surface condition, thereby analyzing and detecting safety hazards such as surface attachments and cracks on the hull.
[0004] Patent "CN202211648265.3" proposes a bionic naked sea butterfly underwater detection robot. By imitating the wing-foot structure of the sea butterfly, the robot uses flapping wing devices on both sides of the front as the power structure device, and the tail and abdomen foot device to achieve the robot's azimuth adjustment. At the same time, it is equipped with a waterproof camera to accurately detect the corrosion status of underwater wind turbines and underwater hull surfaces, providing an important reference for subsequent maintenance.
[0005] However, all of the above-mentioned underwater hull inspection robots have weak anti-flow interference capabilities and insufficient posture stability when hovering or moving underwater, making it difficult to achieve precise operations. The propulsion system is inefficient and has limited maneuverability, making it impossible to balance the needs of rapid movement and precise inspection, leaving much room for improvement.

[0034] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0035] 1. By imitating the streamlined shape of a penguin, the robot's outer shell is less susceptible to water flow interference. Its forelimbs are designed to mimic the flapping structure of a penguin's flippers. The alternating paddling of the wings generates propulsion, while a spherical gear set serves as the transmission core, enabling movement with any degree of freedom and the ability to flexibly avoid obstacles. The tail incorporates multiple propellers, allowing the robot to quickly reach the detection area after entering the water. This also reduces body sway to a certain extent, improving stability and endurance.

[0037] 3. By imitating the streamlined shape and flapping wing motion mechanism of penguins and combining it with an RGB-D camera photogrammetry gimbal, a high-efficiency, low-noise, highly maneuverable, and highly sensitive underwater hull inspection robot has been realized. This solves the shortcomings of current traditional underwater robots, such as poor maneuverability, weak anti-interference ability, and insufficient detection accuracy, significantly improves the safety and economy of underwater hull inspection, and is suitable for long-term operations in complex marine environments.

[0066] The small XY direction servo 31 for ball gear transmission is installed on the servo connection transmission housing 29, and the large Z direction servo 33 for ball gear transmission is installed on the outer wall of the ball gear transmission support frame 30, which is used to drive the bionic flapping wing 3 to achieve arbitrary degree of freedom movement. The inner edge of the ball gear transmission support frame 30 is equipped with a servo connection transmission housing disc 37.
[0067] The bionic flapping wing 3 is connected to the ball gear 35 through the flapping wing transmission connection and fastening member 38. The ball gear 35 is meshed with a ball gear transmission wheel 36.

[0074] This implementation enables:
[0075] During the water entry phase, the buoyancy device 47 uses a DC push-pull motor 45 to fill the four independent chambers 42 with water, increasing its weight. When the robot needs to enter the water at an angle (20° to 35°), water is differentially injected into the four independent chambers 42 of the buoyancy device 47, accelerating the robot's head's sinking rate and forming an initial tilt angle. For vertical entry, the tail propeller 39 (equipped with three sets of propeller blades) is activated at 1500 rpm, combined with the diversion effect of the diverter fin 1, allowing the robot to sink vertically to the target depth at a speed of 1.5 m / s.
[0076] During the S2 inspection phase, the robot switches to flapping propulsion mode. The bionic flapping wings on both sides of the robot's forelimbs are driven by SG90 microservos (at a speed of 0.12s / 60° at a 4.8V operating voltage). The servos drive a spherical gear set, enabling the forelimbs to move at any angle, with a flapping frequency controllable within a range of 2 to 5Hz. In low-speed mode, it is suitable for scanning details such as weld cracks; in high-speed mode, it can quickly cover large areas (such as detecting biological adhesion on ship hull surfaces). Data is collected using an RGB-D camera photogrammetry gimbal 9.
[0077] S3. During the return phase, the sinking and buoyant device 47 drains water to reduce weight, and at the same time, the tail propeller 39 switches to the reverse thrust mode (rotation speed 1200 rpm), and cooperates with the auxiliary lift of the bionic flapping wings 3 to make the robot float to the water surface at a constant speed of 1 m / s.
[0078] It will be understood that in the development of any actual embodiment, as in any engineering or design project, numerous implementation-specific decisions may be made. Such a development effort may be complex and time-consuming, but for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine task of design, fabrication, and production without undue experimentation.
