[0017] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an embedded underwater passive flexible clamping mechanism includes a bracket 1, which is connected to the working end of a six-axis robotic arm 8 by bolts, a mounting seat 2 is connected to the bottom of the bracket 1, a pneumatic slide rail 3 is installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 2, a slider 4 is slidably connected to the left and right sides of the pneumatic slide rail 3, a flexible clamp 5 is connected to the bottom of the slider 4, a displacement sensor 6 is installed at the center of the bracket 1, and a contact seat 8 is connected below the displacement sensor 6; specifically, the number of the flexible clamps 5 is set to two pairs, and the two pairs of the flexible clamps 5 are arranged in parallel front and back; the clamping part of the flexible clamp will deform under force to better adapt to the shape of the target object, while the clamping part of the ordinary rigid clamp is two metal structural parts, which are generally controlled according to a preset torque or closing degree (setting a two-finger distance parameter), and the use of pneumatic flexible clamps has more advantages in response speed and protection of the target object, and the damage to living fish is reduced by setting flexible clamps.

[0018] like Figure 3As shown, the contact seat 7 includes a main body 7-1 and a stopper 7-2. The main body 7-1 is provided with a mounting groove 7-1-1 for mounting the measuring rod of the displacement sensor 6. The stopper 7-2 is arranged on the outside of the mounting groove 7-1-1, and the stopper 7-2 is connected to the main body 7-1. As a possible implementation method, after the measuring rod of the displacement sensor 6 is installed in the mounting groove 7-1-1, the stopper 7-2 can be connected to the main body 7-1 by interference fit. Specifically, the contact seat 7 is made of plastic.

[0019] The utility model also includes an embedded system. The embedded end captures the displacement sensor parameters in real time through the STM32F103C8T6 single-chip microcomputer. When the parameters are greater than a preset value, the flexible clamp is controlled to open or close through a relay; all states are communicated with the host computer in real time through TCP / IP, and parameter setting and state control are performed according to the host computer. The above-mentioned electronic control components are all prior art, and their specific connection relationship, working principle, and working method are not repeated here. The utility model adopts a passive clamping mechanism. When the fish touches the contact seat 7, the flexible clamp 5 will grab the fish, reducing the difficulty of grabbing the living body and improving the success rate of grabbing in terms of response speed.

[0020] The working process of the utility model is as follows:

[0021] The six-axis robotic arm 8 drives the flexible clamping claw 5 to follow the target in the water according to the preset program. When the contact seat 7 touches the fish, the measuring rod moves up, and the displacement sensor 6 converts the displacement signal into an analog quantity and sends it to the single-chip microcomputer in real time. When the single-chip microcomputer determines that the displacement exceeds the preset value, the collected signal is transmitted to the host computer through the network port. At the same time, the electromagnetic relay is driven to control the pneumatic slide rail 3 to work, and the two sliders 4 approach each other along the pneumatic slide rail 3, and the left and right flexible clamping claws 5 approach each other to clamp the fish.

[0022] The above-mentioned preset program is another set of host computer algorithms, which belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here; the six-axis robotic arm 8 in this embodiment is currently on the water, and the model of the six-axis robotic arm 8 is UR10e; in actual production and use, a deep-sea robotic arm can also be used to replace the existing UR10e, and the entire machine can be placed underwater for operation.

[0023] The displacement sensor and the six-axis robotic arm in the utility model are both existing technologies, and their specific structures, working principles, etc. all belong to the existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred methods of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
