[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present disclosure provides a water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100, which further comprises a retractable stabilizing fin. The retractable stabilizing fin is arranged on both sides of the body of the water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100, and the retractable stabilizing fin is automatically unfolded when the wave height is greater than 2 m.
[0051] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, when the wave height is less than or equal to 2 m, the retractable stabilizing fin is in a retracted state, and the water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100 is in a normal inspection mode. In this mode, the pressure sensor and the liquid level sensor data are fused to establish a pressure-float dynamic model of the waterproof air bag 20, so as to realize accurate control of the water injection amount error within ±5 mL, and the PID++ algorithm is used to stabilize the draft depth of the water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100 within a range of ±1 cm.
[0052] When the wave height is greater than 2 m, the retractable stabilizing fin is in an unfolded state, and at this time the water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100 is in an emergency sinking and floating mode. The semi-submersible navigation is realized through the rapid drainage of the waterproof air bag 20, at this time the draft depth of the water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100 is increased to 1.2 m, and the low-temperature operation guarantee is started at the same time. In this way, by adding the retractable stabilizing fin on both sides of the body of the water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100, the response measures in extreme environments can be improved, and the risk resistance can be improved.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present disclosure provides a water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100, and the unfolding area of the retractable stabilizing fin is greater than or equal to 0.8 m 2 .
[0054] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the telescopic stabilizing fin is made of carbon fiber material, and can also be made of other material types, which is not limited in the present disclosure. The deployment area of the telescopic stabilizing fin is greater than or equal to 0.8 m 2 The telescopic stabilizing fin generates lift (or lateral force) through the action of water flow to maintain the posture stability of the water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100. When the deployment area of the telescopic stabilizing fin is less than 0.8 m 2 The deployment area of the telescopic stabilizing fin is too small, which directly leads to a decrease in the lift coefficient, cannot effectively offset the interference force of external sea currents and waves, and also reduces the fluid resistance, resulting in uneven distribution of resistance, increased energy consumption or vibration. Therefore, the deployment area of the telescopic stabilizing fin is set to be greater than or equal to 0.8 m 2 The lift coefficient can be improved, the resistance can be evenly distributed, the energy consumption can be reduced, the posture stability can be maintained, and the wind and wave resistance can be improved.
[0055] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present disclosure provides a water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100, and a micro-resistance wire is integrated at the end of the mechanical arm 30. The heating temperature of the micro-resistance wire is less than or equal to 80℃.
[0056] Specifically, the micro-resistance wire integrated at the end of the mechanical arm 30 can be used for deicing. Further, a battery heating system can also be installed inside the water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100, for example, a 50W PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) ceramic sheet is used. The PTC ceramic is usually made of high-purity barium titanate doped with niobium, bismuth, antimony, lead, manganese, silicon and other oxides, and is sintered at 1300-1350℃. The resistance of the PTC ceramic is very small at room temperature, but it will suddenly increase by thousands to millions of times when the temperature rises to a certain temperature, and it will return to its original state when the temperature drops. This advantage is conducive to maintaining the temperature of the battery pack above 0℃ in a low-temperature operating state, ensuring the effective operation of the water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100. In this way, by integrating the micro-resistance wire at the end of the mechanical arm 30, deicing of the mechanical arm 30 and various sensors integrated thereon in a low-temperature operating state is achieved, and the safe and stable operation in a low-temperature state is achieved in combination with the internally installed battery heating system.
[0057] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figures 1 to 3 The present disclosure provides a water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100, and the mechanical arm 30 includes a six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm.
[0058] Specifically, the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm refers to a mechanical arm 30 with 6 independent movement degrees of freedom, which can be divided into rotation, pitch, translation, elbow joint, wrist joint and wrist. Each joint can move freely within a certain range of motion, and the flexibility is relatively high. The six degrees of freedom are translation along the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis, and rotation around the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis. The first three degrees of freedom are used to determine the position, and the last three are used to determine the attitude. The combination of these degrees of freedom enables the mechanical arm 30 to perform complex grasping, manipulation and assembly operations in three-dimensional space. The disclosed embodiment can achieve 360° dead angle-free inspection of the water quality multi-modal inspection robot 100 in the water area by providing a six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm on the main body frame 10, and improve the flexibility of the inspection.
