[0002] With the development of science and technology in my country, my country has attached more and more importance to the development of underwater resources. Due to the special environment of underwater work, humans cannot carry out activities and can only use underwater robots to explore and develop underwater resources. After the underwater robots enter the water, the staff can only send command signals to the underwater robots through cables.
[0003] Publication number CN115547554B discloses a special cable for underwater robots. The technology disclosed in this document is "through the provision of a cable core, an insulating layer, a support ring, a fixing ring, an aerosol layer, a telescopic rod, a block, a support layer, an expansion layer, and a protective layer." The technology has the following technical effects: "supporting the cable core after it enters the water while giving it buoyancy, reducing its own weight after entering the water, and supporting the cable core without affecting its normal bending during use, while preventing excessive bending of the cable core that could damage it."
[0004] Although the above solution uses an expansion layer and a protective layer to protect the cable, once the expansion layer and the protective layer of the cable are damaged, the cable section needs to be replaced in time. In order to repair or replace the cable, a power outage is usually required, which affects normal power supply and operation. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the existing technology, the utility model provides a special cable for an underwater robot, which has the characteristics that the cable can be protected by a protective mechanism when in use, and when the exterior is damaged, only the protective mechanism needs to be replaced.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: A special cable for an underwater robot, comprising a cable, wherein a protective mechanism is provided on the cable and is used to protect the cable, the protective mechanism comprising:
[0007] An accessory component is provided on the cable and is used to prevent bending and entanglement;
[0008] The main body component includes a protective cover wrapped around the cable, a clamping strip arranged on the inner wall of one end of the protective cover, a clamping groove arranged on the outer wall of the other end of the protective cover, a first mounting head fixed on both sides of the outer wall of one end of the protective cover, and a second mounting head fixed on both sides of the outer wall of the other end of the protective cover.
[0009] Preferably, the main body assembly further comprises an outer edge head fixed to the end of the protective sleeve, and a plurality of mounting holes distributed circumferentially are provided on the outer edge head.
[0010] Preferably, the main body component further comprises a plurality of circumferentially distributed convex strips arranged on the outer wall of the protective sleeve, and the convex strips are integrally formed with the protective sleeve.
[0011] Preferably, the main body component further includes a plurality of equally distributed grooves formed on the surface of the convex strip.
[0012] Preferably, the main body component further includes a buffer layer arranged on the inner wall of the protective sleeve, and the interior of the buffer layer is an equally distributed triangular hollow structure.
[0013] Preferably, the accessory assembly includes two frames symmetrically distributed and wrapped around the outer wall of the cable, and an inner lining fixed inside the frames. Beneficial effects
[0014] The utility model provides a special cable for underwater robots. Compared with the existing technology, it has the following advantages:
[0015] (1) When the cable is in use, the accessory component can be wrapped on the cable, and then the main component can be wrapped. The two ends of the protective cover are connected by a clip buckle on the card slot, and then fixed by the first mounting head and the second mounting head with bolts, so that the main component and the accessory component are fixed to the outside of the cable, so that the cable can be protected by the protective mechanism when in use, and when the outside is damaged, only the protective mechanism needs to be replaced.
[0016] (2) When a cable is too long, it is necessary to install multiple main body components for protection. Each section of the protective cover is fitted together through the outer edge head and fixed through the mounting holes and bolts. In addition, by installing accessory components between the main body component and the cable, the bending and entanglement resistance of the cable during use is improved, and accessory components of different hardness can be installed according to needs. In addition, when the main body component is disassembled from the cable, the accessory component can be disassembled together, thereby facilitating the assembly of the accessory component.
[0017] (3) When the cable contacts the ground or underwater through the protective cover, the friction between the convex strips and the ground is mainly caused, which reduces the friction on the protective cover and thus improves the overall service life; and, under the premise of ensuring the wear resistance of the convex strips, the production materials of the convex strips are reduced by opening grooves, thereby reducing the cost.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution for a special cable for an underwater robot: a special cable for an underwater robot, comprising a cable 1, a protective mechanism 2 provided on the cable 1 and used to protect the cable 1, the protective mechanism 2 comprising:
[0025] An accessory component 21 is provided on the cable 1 and is used to prevent bending and entanglement;
[0026] The main body component 22 includes a protective cover 221 wrapped around the cable 1, a clamping strip 222 set on the inner wall of one end of the protective cover 221, a clamping groove 223 set on the outer wall of the other end of the protective cover 221, a first mounting head 224 fixed on both sides of the outer wall of one end of the protective cover 221, and a second mounting head 225 fixed on both sides of the outer wall of the other end of the protective cover 221.
[0027] In this embodiment, when the cable 1 is in use, the accessory component 21 can be wrapped on the cable 1, and then the main component 22 can be wrapped. The two ends of the protective cover 221 are connected by a clip 222 that is buckled on the slot 223, and then fixed by the first mounting head 224 and the second mounting head 225 with bolts, thereby fixing the main component 22 and the accessory component 21 to the outside of the cable 1, so that the cable 1 can be protected by the protective mechanism 2 when in use, and when the outside is damaged, only the protective mechanism 2 needs to be replaced.
[0028] Specifically, the main body component 22 further includes an outer edge head 226 fixed to the end of the protective cover 221 , and a plurality of mounting holes 227 distributed circumferentially are provided on the outer edge head 226 .
[0029] In this embodiment, since a cable 1 is too long and needs to be protected by installing multiple sections of main body components 22, each section of the protective cover 221 is fitted together through the outer edge head 226 and fixed with bolts through the mounting holes 227.
[0030] Specifically, the main body component 22 further includes a plurality of convex strips 228 distributed around the outer wall of the protective cover 221 , and the convex strips 228 and the protective cover 221 are integrally formed.
[0031] In this embodiment, when the cable 1 contacts the ground or underwater ground through the protective cover 221 , the convex strips 228 mainly rub against the ground, thereby reducing friction on the protective cover 221 and improving the overall service life.
[0032] Specifically, the main body component 22 further includes a plurality of equally distributed grooves 229 formed on the surface of the convex strip 228 .
[0033] In this embodiment, under the premise of ensuring the wear resistance of the convex strips 228 , the production materials of the convex strips 228 are reduced by providing the grooves 229 , thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.
[0034] Specifically, the main body component 22 further includes a buffer layer 2210 arranged on the inner wall of the protective cover 221 , and the interior of the buffer layer 2210 is an evenly distributed triangular hollow structure.
[0035] In this embodiment, the buffer layer 2210 is used to improve the compression resistance of the cable 1 and to provide buffering when it is subjected to impact.
[0036] Specifically, the accessory component 21 includes two frames 211 symmetrically distributed and wrapped around the outer wall of the cable 1 , and an inner lining 212 fixed inside the frames 211 .
[0037] In this embodiment, the accessory component 21 can be installed between the main component 22 and the cable 1 to improve the bending and entanglement resistance of the cable 1 during use, and the accessory components 21 of different hardness can be installed as needed; and the accessory component 21 can be disassembled and assembled together when the main component 22 is disassembled from the cable 1, thereby facilitating the assembly of the accessory component 21.
[0038] The working principle and usage process of the present invention are as follows: first, the accessory component 21 is wrapped on the cable 1, and then the main component 22 is wrapped. The two ends of the protective cover 221 are connected by buckling the clamping strips 222 on the clamping grooves 223. Then, the first mounting head 224 and the second mounting head 225 are used to fix them with bolts, thereby fixing the main component 22 and the accessory component 21 to the outside of the cable 1. When the cable 1 is in use, it can be protected by the protective mechanism 2. When the outside is damaged, only the protective mechanism 2 needs to be replaced.
[0039] Furthermore, since a cable 1 is too long and needs to be protected by multiple sections of the main body assembly 22, each section of the protective cover 221 is fitted together by the outer edge head 226 and fixed with bolts through the mounting holes 227;
[0040] During use, when the cable 1 contacts the ground or underwater ground through the protective cover 221, the friction with the ground is mainly generated through the convex strips 228, thereby reducing the friction on the protective cover 221 and improving the overall service life. The buffer layer 2210 is used to improve the pressure resistance of the cable 1 and provide buffering when it is impacted.
