Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of robots, in particular to an underwater rescue and salvage robot. Background Art

[0002] One of the most important tasks in underwater rescue activities is salvage. Because underwater manual operations are difficult, robots are usually needed. Underwater robots can not only dive underwater for a long time, but also shoot and transmit underwater images through cameras, and retrieve the target objects through mechanical claws or recovery boxes to achieve the salvage effect.

[0003] A Chinese patent application (or patent) with announcement number CN218751317U discloses a dual-mode underwater salvage robot, including a mounting frame and an underwater cabin, wherein the underwater cabin is installed in the middle of the mounting frame, a horizontal thruster is installed on the top of the underwater cabin, and a sinking and floating thruster is installed on the bottom of the underwater cabin. A camera and a sensor are installed in the front waterproof cover of the underwater cabin, and a robotic arm is installed on the mounting frame at the lower side of the underwater cabin. The interior of the underwater cabin includes an information processing system and a control system. The utility model collects underwater environmental information, the robot's motion posture, and internal state information through the information processing system, and the control system drives and controls each module, performs danger warnings and signal transmission; by setting up a robotic arm, the robotic claw grabs the object and fixes the object at the same time, and then pulls the object away from the bottom of the water by means of a buoy.

[0004] The aforementioned dual-mode underwater salvage robot is equipped with a horizontal propeller and a sinking propeller. The horizontal propeller is used to propel the robot horizontally, while the sinking propeller is used to propel the robot vertically. However, the underwater environment is complex and often contains underwater vegetation such as algae. Operations in such an environment can easily cause algae and other vegetation to be sucked into the propeller, causing blockage. Furthermore, the robot is equipped with a mechanical claw for salvaging and gripping objects. When salvaging objects, the claw opens and grips the object, then floats it up to the surface to achieve the salvage effect. However, this salvage operation method can only retrieve one object at a time and cannot retrieve multiple underwater objects simultaneously. To address this issue, we provide an underwater rescue and salvage robot to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0027] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-3The utility model is an underwater rescue and salvage robot, comprising a body 1 and a mechanical claw 4. The storage cavity 101 in the body 1 can be used to store objects picked up by the mechanical claw 4, and the rubber plate 301 can be used to block the picked up objects to prevent them from falling.

[0028] Specifically, a head 2 is provided at the head of the body 1, a tail 3 is provided at the tail of the body 1, a storage cavity 101 is further provided inside the body 1, and the open end of the storage cavity 101 is provided on the tail 3, a rubber plate 301 is bonded to the inner wall of the open end of the tail 3, and a camera 302 is embedded in the upper outer wall of the tail 3, and a leaking plate 102 is also embedded in the bottom side wall of the storage cavity 101.

[0029] Furthermore, a telescopic rod 401 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage chamber 101, and a mechanical claw 4 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 401, while the minimum compression length of the telescopic rod 401 is less than the length of the storage chamber 101, and the maximum extension length of the telescopic rod 401 is greater than the length of the storage chamber 101.

[0030] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, the underwater environment can be photographed through the camera 302. When salvaging an object, the mechanical claw 4 is pushed out of the storage cavity through the telescopic rod 401. At this time, due to the pushing force of the telescopic rod 401, the mechanical claw 4 exerts a certain pressure on the rubber plate 301, and this pressure causes the rubber plate 301 to bend outward. When the mechanical claw 4 is aligned with the object, it grasps it. After the grasping is successful, the telescopic rod 401 retracts, that is, it pulls the mechanical claw 4 and the object grasped by it back into the storage cavity 101 for storage.

[0031] Example 2, please refer to Figure 4-5 On the basis of Example 1, an assembly component 5 and a propulsion component 6 are also provided. The propulsion component 6 can be fixed to the body 1 by utilizing the cooperation of the splint 501 and the stud 502. The propulsion direction can be adjusted by utilizing the stepper motor 601. The aquatic plants around the propulsion component 6 can be crushed by utilizing the blade 602d.

[0032] Specifically, the assembly component 5 includes a splint 501 clamped on the outer wall of the body 1, with studs 502 inserted into the two axial ends of the splint 501, and the outer end of the stud 502 is also threadedly connected with a screw sleeve 503, and a side plate 504 is welded on the middle outer wall of the splint 501, and the end of the side plate 504 is connected to the driving member 602 through a stepper motor 601.

[0033] Furthermore, a mounting seat 601a is fixedly installed on the side wall next to the end of the side panel 504, and the side panel 504 is connected to the stepper motor 601 through the mounting seat 601a, and the shaft end of the stepper motor 601 is connected to the mounting plate 603 through the connecting sleeve 601b. A mounting groove 603a for installing the double-headed motor 602a is opened in the middle of the mounting plate 603, and a paddle 602b is installed on the motor shaft of the double-headed motor 602a, and a protective cover 602c is provided on the outer side of the paddle 602b, and a blade leaf 602d is provided on the outer side of the top of the protective cover 602c, and a connecting shaft 602e is provided in the blade leaf 602d, and the connecting shaft 602e passes through the protective cover 602c and is synchronously rotated and connected to the end of the motor shaft of the double-headed motor 602a.

[0034] The operating process of this embodiment is: when in use, when performing the floating operation, the stepper motor 601 works, and it drives the driving member 602 on the shaft end to rotate upward. When it rotates to the vertical direction, the driving member 602 works, that is, it pushes the body to float up, and when it rotates to the inclined upward direction, it floats up obliquely, otherwise it sinks. When the driving member 602 is in a horizontal state, it is a propulsion operation. When the driving member 602 works, the double-headed motor 602a drives the paddle 602b and the blade 602d to rotate at the same time, wherein the paddle 602d is used to inhale and push water flow to provide power support for the movement of the body 1, and the blade 602d rotates on the outside of the protective cover 602c to crush the aquatic plants around the protective cover 602c.
