Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of deep-sea operation equipment technology, specifically relating to an adaptive tracked robot for deep-sea rugged terrain. Background Technology
[0002] Deep-sea robots play an irreplaceable and crucial role in fields such as deep-sea exploration and resource development. Tracked robots, with their unique advantages of large ground contact area and strong adhesion, have significant application value in rugged seabed terrain. However, existing deep-sea tracked robots still face many technical bottlenecks in adapting to complex and rugged terrain.
[0003] Currently, some deep-sea tracked robots use a dual-track structure, such as common deep-sea mining vehicles. However, the seabed topography is extremely complex and contains a large amount of soft seabed material. When these robots encounter rugged terrain, the tracks cannot fully conform to the ground slope, often resulting in localized contact. This leads to concentrated ground stress, exacerbates ground subsidence, and significantly increases the risk of the robot getting stuck. Even with some devices employing simple four-track locomotives, replacing the longer track on one side with a shorter dual track, the track's contact with the terrain slope has not been fundamentally improved.
[0004] From the perspective of suspension structure, traditional tracked chassis mostly employ a fixed suspension design. When the robot traverses complex terrain, obstacles, and ramps with "V"-shaped, "A"-shaped, or uneven slopes on both sides, the suspension system angle cannot be flexibly adjusted. This results in a significant reduction in chassis stability, uneven stress on the suspension system, and severe track deformation. Even slight deformation can cause track damage or derailment; in severe cases, uneven stress on the left and right track structures can lead to vehicle damage or even rollover, greatly threatening the service life of the tracked chassis and posing a serious challenge to the robot's mobility and obstacle-crossing capabilities.
[0005] To improve the ability of tracked chassis to traverse complex terrains, existing technologies mainly employ two improvement schemes. First, a mechanical lifting mechanism is used, adjusting the chassis height by changing the length of hydraulic rods to achieve obstacle avoidance. For example, the adjustable track device disclosed in patent number 201810575356.6 improves the passability of tracked chassis to some extent, but its function is relatively limited. Second, the tilt angle of the shock-absorbing suspension system is changed, such as the adaptive leveling chassis disclosed in patent number 201610975634.8. This utilizes the cooperation between the wheels and suspension to adaptively adjust the height of each suspension, reducing the changes in chassis roll and pitch angles caused by terrain variations, thus achieving dynamic leveling of the chassis. However, these existing technologies can only adjust the chassis height or tilt angle, and can only achieve leveling of the chassis's working angle. They cannot fundamentally solve the problem of adaptive obstacle crossing on complex and rugged terrain, and are insufficient to meet the requirements for efficient and stable robot operation in deep-water and complex environments.
[0006] The core limitations of existing technologies are mainly reflected in two aspects: first, most tracked chassis are fixed structures, unable to flexibly adapt to terrain, and lack adaptive adjustment capabilities; second, the tracked chassis and the upper structure are connected by fixed methods such as welding and bolting, lacking vibration damping capabilities. To address these problems, this invention overcomes three major technical challenges: vibration damping structure, hydraulically driven tracked chassis, and adaptive conforming mechanical structure design. It provides a high-performance adaptive tracked robot for deep-water, rugged terrain, possessing significant technological innovation value and practical application significance. Summary of the Invention

The rubber damping pad is disposed at both ends of the helical spring.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the suspension mechanism (4) includes an elastic suspension arm (4-1) and a lug (4-2).

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] (1) Direct effect of variable terrain-fitting track: The track fitting angle can be adjusted through the three-dimensional model, which increases the fit of the track to complex seabed terrain slopes with different slopes on both sides to more than 90%, effectively avoiding the problem of ground force concentration caused by local contact of traditional tracks. According to simulation test, the degree of ground depression is reduced by more than 65% compared with traditional tracks, which significantly reduces the risk of the robot getting stuck.
[0021] (2) Direct effect of four-wheel drive track drive: In view of the underwater weight of deep-sea mining vehicles exceeding five tons, the four-track drive mode is adopted. Compared with dual track drive, the driving force is increased by 80%, and the traction is increased by 70% in the seabed silt environment. It can easily cope with the driving resistance caused by soft bottom material and ensure that the mining vehicle can move stably in complex seabed terrain.
[0022] (3) Direct effect of angle adjustment component: Abandoning the traditional fixed connection method of welding and bolts between track chassis and upper structure, the angle adjustment component with vibration reduction function is used for connection. After vibration test, the vibration amplitude transmitted to the upper structure can be reduced by up to 75%, reducing the probability of track deformation caused by vibration, reducing track damage rate by 60%, reducing track drop rate by 85%, and avoiding vehicle damage and overturning problems caused by uneven force on the left and right track structures.
[0023] (4) This invention solves the problem of "no adaptive adjustment of the tracked chassis and no vibration damping connection with the upper structure" in deep-sea tracked robots on rugged terrain, and has key technical and practical application value. Technically, it overcomes the design challenges of vibration damping structures, hydraulically driven tracked chassis, and adaptive fit mechanical structures, filling the technical gap in dynamic adaptation and vibration damping for deep-sea tracked equipment. It promotes the integration and innovation of multiple disciplines such as mechanical design and hydraulic control, forming equipment technology solutions specifically for complex deep-sea environments, and providing core technical support for the research and development of high-end marine equipment. In terms of application, it enables robots to achieve track fit and vibration damping in complex deep-sea terrain, significantly reducing the risk of getting stuck, overturning, and component damage, improving operational stability and efficiency, and facilitating the efficient implementation of deep-sea resource development and scientific exploration tasks. It also extends equipment lifespan, reduces maintenance costs, provides reliable technical support for my country's deep-sea engineering and marine strategy implementation, and promotes the development of deep-sea development towards a more efficient and stable direction.

The preferred telescopic stroke of the hydraulic drive rod 5 is 0-500mm, and the angle adjustment range is -30° to 30°.
[0043] like Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 11As shown. The four-wheel drive system includes four independent hydraulic motors 9 and rotating shafts 10. The hydraulic motors 9 are fixed on two collars 8-1 on the connecting plate 8. The power output of the hydraulic motors 9 is connected to the rotating shafts 10, which are connected to the transmission gear set of the track structure 3. Each hydraulic motor 9 is controlled by an independent hydraulic control system to achieve precise adjustment of speed and torque. The rated power of the hydraulic motors 8 is 50-80kW, the rated torque is 2000-3000N・m, and the speed adjustment range is 0-30r / min. Compared with the traditional dual-track drive system, the four-wheel drive track structure increases the driving force by 80% and enhances the traction by 70% in the seabed silt environment.
[0044] The vibration damping connection structure includes a helical spring and rubber damping pads. The helical spring is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 11-1, located outside the first rotating joint 7-1, to achieve vibration damping and buffering when the first rotating joint 7-1 moves in the vertical direction. The helical spring has a stiffness coefficient of 50-100 N / mm, and the rubber damping pads are set at both ends of the helical spring, with a Shore hardness of 50-70 HA and a compression of 20-50 mm.
[0045] The suspension mechanism 4 includes an elastic suspension arm 4-1 and a lug 4-2. The bottom of the elastic suspension arm 4-1 is fixedly connected to the main frame 2, and the top is provided with a lug 4-2.

[0047] Buoyancy structure 1 is made of polyurethane foam with a density of 300~400 kg / m³. 3 It is placed in the buoyancy material fixing groove at the top of the main frame 2 to provide underwater buoyancy to balance the robot's weight and ensure that the robot maintains a stable working posture underwater.

The track 3-1 is provided with anti-slip protrusions 8-2, which are 20-30mm high and are evenly distributed along the length of the track 3-1 to effectively reduce the degree of sinking on soft bottom.
[0049] This deep-water, rugged-terrain adaptive tracked robot also includes attitude sensors and a control system. The attitude sensors, mounted on the main frame 2, detect the robot's roll angle, pitch angle, and height. The control system is electrically connected to the angle adjustment component, the four-wheel drive system, and the vibration-damping connection structure to achieve adaptive control. Preferably, the attitude sensors employ MEMS inertial measurement units, capable of real-time detection of the robot's roll angle, pitch angle, and height, with measurement accuracies of ±0.05°, ±0.05°, and ±10mm, respectively. The control system uses a PLC controller, electrically connected to the angle adjustment component, the four-wheel drive system, and the vibration-damping connection structure. It receives detection signals from the attitude and angle sensors and uses a preset algorithm to regulate the extension and retraction of the hydraulic drive rod and the speed and torque of the hydraulic motor to achieve adaptive control.
[0050] This invention fundamentally solves the adaptation and vibration reduction challenges of existing deep-sea tracked robots on complex and rugged terrain through the coordinated design of variable terrain-adapting four-wheel drive tracks, angle adjustment components, and vibration-damping connection structures. It achieves a comprehensive effect of adaptive terrain adaptation, enhanced power, and efficient vibration reduction, significantly improving the robot's passability, obstacle-crossing ability, and driving stability in deep-sea environments. It also significantly extends the service life of the tracked chassis and the overall equipment, reducing equipment maintenance costs and providing reliable technical support for the efficient and stable operation of deep-sea robots in deep-sea exploration, resource development, and other fields.
