[0090] Supply process: the push plate 802 pushes the outer shell 601 to the clamping plate 708, and the positioning block 711 is automatically clamped into the positioning port 602 after being flipped 90° under its own structure to complete clamping.

[0091] In the embodiment, the adapter component 620 comprises an adapter plate 621, a docking groove 622, and a lower limit block 623. The adapter plate 621 is fixed on both sides of the outer shell 601 and is assembled with the adapter seat 403. The top of the adapter plate 621 is provided with the docking groove 622, and the inside of the docking groove 622 is elastically mounted with the lower limit block 623 extending out, and the lower limit block 623 is clamped and matched with the pull-back block 408 and the upper limit block 409.

[0092] Docking process: connection of the outer shell 601 and the adapter seat 403;

[0093] Guided insertion: after the outer shell 601 is grabbed by the clamping jaw 301 and the position is adjusted by the movable arm 302, the adapter plate 621 is aligned with the docking channel of the adapter seat 403;

[0094] Pushing under the cooperation of the movable arm 302 and the electric rotating seat 304, the adapter plate 621 continuously enters along the port of the adapter seat 403 until the lower limit block 623 pushes the upper limit block 409 and passes through, at which time the lower limit block 623 is located between the upper limit block 409 and the pull-back block 408, and the clamping is completed.

[0095] Unlocking process: separation of the outer shell 601 and the adapter seat 403;

[0096] Release of the pull-back block 408: when the outer shell 601 is taken out again, the outer shell 601 is pushed against the pull-back block 408, the limit block 623 is urged to pass through the pull-back block 408, and then the outer shell 601 is pulled back, the pull-back block 408 is pulled outwards and is in abutment with the upper limit block 409, the limit block 623 passes through the upper limit block 409 under the action of the pulling force and the auxiliary guidance of the pull-back block 408, and the restriction on the lower limit block 623 is released.

[0097] Working principle and use process of the application:

[0098] When in use, it is necessary to ensure that the internal power of the main body 100 and the main body 502 is sufficient, and it is necessary to check whether the working assembly is normal. After completion, work is performed. It is known that the top plate 202 and the rack 201 are both assembled with the paddle 203, the front and rear sides of the top plate 202 are both assembled with a camera and a searchlight, and the front side of the main body 502 is assembled with a camera and a searchlight. This is also the infrastructure of the robot.

[0099] Firstly, the robot and the cable 101 are placed in water, the paddle 203 is started to rotate into the underwater until the bottom of the water, the main body 100 is used to support until the equipment is stable, then the camera on the top plate 202 and the rack 201 is used to survey the surrounding water environment, and it is determined whether the collection work is in conformity with the collection work.

[0100] Second step, start the electric screw one 612 drive collection tube 611 to descend, make the bottom end of collection tube 611 and the bottom of water touch and stop, then start the drive component 613 to move downward, at this time the bottom end of drive component 613 pushes the movable joint 619, at this time the movable joint 619 slides on the slide rail 615, make the cover plate 618 turn over and open through the movable shaft 616, then start the electric screw one 612 to drive collection tube 611 to descend again, make collection tube 611 descend and insert into the soil, until the collected soil enters into collection tube 611 and exceeds the height of cover plate 618, finally recycle, when collection tube 611 separates from the soil, start drive component 613 to reset, make cover plate 618 turn over and close, so the soil under the sea will be collected into collection tube 611, and the seawater is blocked through the cooperation of rubber packing ring 617 on cover plate 618;

[0101] Start movable arm 302 to make joint movement, make clamp jaw 301 clamp and fix collection tube 611, then start motor two 707 to drive gear 709 to rotate, expand gear 709 to expand toothed plate 710, make positioning block 711 in clamping plate 708 release the clamping and fixing of outer shell 601, positioning port 602 on outer shell 601 separates from the positioning of positioning block 711, then drive movable arm 302 to rotate by using electric rotating seat 304, drive the clamped outer shell 601 to rotate, make collection tube 611 on outer shell 601 butt joint with adapter seat 403, so collection tube 611 can enter into adapter seat 403 and be clamped between upper limit block 409 and pull-back block 408 by drive component 613, complete assembly;

[0102] Third step, start paddle two 518, main body two 501 control rotating electric shaft one 512 to drive paddle two 518 to switch the pushing direction, at this time under the cooperation of paddle two 518, make mounting structure 511 drive adapter seat 403 to do walking work, at this time the collected outer shell 601 can move along with sleeve pipe 401 along cable 101, make the camera and searchlight on main body two 501 observe and advance, until the carried main body two 501 reaches the water surface, personnel push outer shell 601 inside, make drive component 613 pull back after passing through pull-back block 408, then under the guidance of pull-back block 408, make drive component 613 pass through pull-back block 408 and upper limit block 409 to come out of adapter seat 403;

[0103] Then lower main body two 501 along cable 101 to reset, until the magnetic suction disc 402 at the inner end of sleeve pipe 401 butt joint and adsorb with main body one 100, complete reset state;

[0104] During the collection, if the required seabed ore or material is found, the electric rotating seat 304 and the movable arm 302 can be started to drive the clamping jaw 301 to clamp the ore or material, and then the motor 502 drives the net plate 503 to flip, so that the collected ore or material is placed in the loading groove 504, and then the net plate 503 is closed;

[0105] Fourthly, the outer shell 601 is replenished. Firstly, the electric rotating shaft 703 drives the mounting shell 712 to flip down by 90°, the electric screw 803 drives the push plate 802 to push forward, the outer shell 601 in the storage bin 801 is pushed out, the frontmost outer shell 601 is pushed beyond the limiting protrusion 804 under the action of the force, and extends between the clamping plates 708 and abuts against the connecting block 706, then the motor 707 drives the clamping plates 708 to move inward, the positioning block 711 in the clamping plate 708 abuts against the positioning port 602 on the outer shell 601, so that the outer shell 601 is replenished, and finally the electric rotating shaft 703 drives the mounting shell 712 to flip up by 90° to the collection state.

[0106] During the collection, if the required seabed ore or material is found, the electric rotating seat 304 and the movable arm 302 can be started to drive the clamping jaw 301 to clamp the ore or material, and then the motor 502 drives the net plate 503 to flip, so that the collected ore or material is placed in the loading groove 504, and then the net plate 503 is closed;

[0107] During the collection, if the required seabed ore or material is found, the electric rotating seat 304 and the movable arm 302 can be started to drive the clamping jaw 301 to clamp the ore or material, and then the motor 502 drives the net plate 503 to flip, so that the collected ore or material is placed in the loading groove 504, and then the net plate 503 is closed;

[0108] It is worth noting that the electric facilities in the present scheme are waterproofed to ensure that they can automatically work underwater, which is the basic working condition of the current underwater robot.
