At present, how to timely monitor the underwater activity status of fish in marine farms, the underwater environmental restoration status of natural ecology, and the water quality change of marine farms are problems that need to be solved urgently for marine farms. Therefore, a bionic sea eel was designed to monitor marine farms, especially complex areas such as slits. The space under the head of the sea eel is large, and it can be equipped with various sensors to monitor the water environment, while observing and tracking the underwater activity status of fish in real time, which has high research significance and application value in solving the difficult problem of fish resource assessment in the complex environment of marine farms.
[0003] However, due to their structure, traditional underwater robots have shortcomings such as being too large, poor mobility, high energy consumption, and large interference with the environment.

[0009] In addition, the rim around the bottom cover of the waterproof sealed chamber has a certain thickness, and a circular groove is dug. A waterproof packing is installed in the groove, and a double anti-corrosion method of internal and external potting is adopted, which greatly enhances the airtightness of the bionic sea eel and enhances the waterproof strength of the waterproof sealed chamber. In addition, the fixing screw of the waterproof sealed chamber can be an organic material screw to prevent falling off, which is more resistant to seawater corrosion and rust than traditional metal screws. The waterproof sealed grommet adopts a special M-type waterproof joint consisting of five parts: press head, packing, body, gasket and nut. In use, the press head of the waterproof grommet is made by stacking several cabin exit wires closely together, and the cabin exit wires are tightly wrapped with 3M adhesive twice to prevent the grommet part from being broken due to frequent adjustment.

[0011] Furthermore, the bionic sea eel employs a unique balancing method in which each component unit of the bionic sea eel is balanced in stages and each balanced component unit is assembled into a balanced whole. The balance adjustment chamber of the head is balanced using a counterweight block. In order to avoid the head of the sea eel becoming unbalanced while it is swimming and to achieve the balance of the head, the counterweight blocks are equal in weight and are installed symmetrically on both sides. Each drive mechanism of the rotating part is made of a different material so that the rotating part can be balanced and the balance of the rotating part can be achieved. As shown, the floating material is surrounded by the end of the bionic flexible under-actuation tail close to the head, and the floating material is solidified with eco-flexible silicone rubber inside the end of the bionic flexible under-actuation tail close to the head, forming a preservative buoyancy chamber for the bionic sea eel, increasing the buoyancy of the front half of the bionic flexible under-actuation tail, preventing the bionic flexible under-actuation tail from sinking and balancing it with the weight of the head, thereby achieving balance of the bionic flexible under-actuation tail, and the floating material can also be used to fix the drive mechanism.
[0012] Furthermore, the alternating rotating unit connects the two parts, the head and the bionic flexible under-actuation tail, and the rotating unit includes three drive mechanisms, one of which consists of a two-axis wide U-shaped frame, a two-axis narrow U-shaped frame, a main wheel, a sub-wheel, and a two-axis steering engine arranged above and below, realizing eel-type propulsion of the fuselage, the two-axis wide U-shaped frame opening and the two-axis narrow U-shaped frame opening are arranged opposite each other, and the two-axis steering engine is arranged within the area surrounded by the two-axis wide U-shaped frame and the two-axis narrow U-shaped frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the ratio of the body length to the body width of the bionic sea eel body is 13:1, the ratio of the frontal cross-sectional area from the head to one-quarter of the body length to the frontal cross-sectional area from the head to three-quarters of the body length is 12.9:1, the cross-section of the sea eel has a certain ellipse ratio, and accumulating in sequence from the end close to the head to the one-quarter, the cross-section of the bionic sea eel is composed of two semi-ellipses with equal openings, the minor axis of the large ellipse and the major axis of the small ellipse are equal, and the minor axis of the large ellipse and the major axis of the small ellipse are equal. The ratio of the major axis of the small ellipse is the ellipse ratio, which indicates the change in the cross-sectional shape of the bionic sea eel. The magnitude of the ellipse ratio plays an important role in the resistance reduction effect and hydrodynamic analysis of the bionic sea eel. The ellipse ratio of the cross section of the sea eel increases as the body length increases, and the body width of the bionic sea eel decreases as the body length increases. The cross sections of various parts of the bionic sea eel's body are teardrop-shaped, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the bionic sea eel The side cross section of the gill body is asymmetrical spindle-shaped, with a thick head and a pointed tail, and the top cross section of the bionic sea eel body is tapered, with a wide head and a narrow tail, so that the bionic sea eel has an excellent fluid shape and good resistance reduction effect. The dorsal fin, anal fin and tail fin are respectively integrated with the bionic flexible under-actuation tail after multiple sol-gel hardening moldings. The end close to the bionic flexible under-actuation tail is covered with an eco-flexible silicone rubber film of a certain thickness along the outer periphery of the drive mechanism. The skin design can protect the internal rigid structure and maintain the smooth fluid outer shape of the bionic sea eel with a high resistance reduction effect. The eco-flexible silicone rubber film is fixed by an adjustable clamp including an adjustable clamp ring and a clamp tightening screw.
[0014] In addition, the bionic flexible underactuation tail, dorsal fin, anal fin, and tail fin are poured with suitable eco-flexible silicone rubber, and then solidified multiple times to form a thin film shape, which is integrated with the bionic flexible underactuation tail. The dorsal fin is gradually tapered in thickness in the vertical direction, the anal fin is gradually tapered in thickness in the vertical direction, and the tail fin is installed horizontally, gradually tapering in thickness from left to right. The dorsal, anal and tail fins have a certain thickness, and the tail and dorsal fins move together to organize the wake flow, achieve a good resistance reduction effect, and improve the propulsion efficiency of the bionic sea eel in the water. In the horizontal and vertical directions, the front half of the bionic flexible under-actuation tail is thick, and the rear half is relatively thin. A moderately poured elongated rubber fin is installed in the dorsal, anal and tail fins, and the hardness of the rubber fin is greater than that of the dorsal, anal and tail fins, and can support the thin and soft fins. The rubber fins are arranged on the dorsal, anal and tail fins to improve the fluctuation of the flow field, allowing the dorsal, anal and tail fins to resist a certain degree of turbulent force, and the impact of the water current can better organize the wake flow and maintain balance during swimming.
[0015] In addition, the head is made of a light but hard plastic material and has a small deformation amount, playing a role in diverting flow. The bionic flexible under-actuation tail is made of suitable eco-flexible silicone rubber, which has good toughness and flexibility and a large deformation amount, allowing the bionic sea eel to exhibit wave-like deformation when swimming, providing a basis for realizing eel-like swimming in terms of structural materials. The body simulates the muscles and spinal joints of a live sea eel, and the rotating part realizes relative movement through a drive mechanism. The bionic flexible under-actuation tail, which is made of eco-flexible silicone rubber and then solidified, simulates the muscles and nerve network of a live sea eel.
[0016] The effects of the present invention are as follows. The present invention provides a bionic sea eel that can be equipped with a variety of collectors to monitor marine farms, especially complex areas such as slits. It is highly modeled after the fluid outer shape of a living sea eel, and is filled with eco-flexible silicone rubber on a flexible underactuation tail, which maintains its flexible elastic performance for a long time and has passed the SGS environmental protection non-toxicity certification. The alternating rotating parts move the body to realize the eel-like propulsion method of the sea eel, which is low noise and low interference. The internal rigid parts are protected by multiple pressure-resistant measures such as waterproof packing, internal and external potting, and multi-screw hole seal, and have high waterproof and pressure resistance. Because there is a large space directly under the head of the bionic sea eel, multiple collectors with special waterproofing treatments can be fixed, and the excellent biomorphic characteristics of the sea eel itself can be used to realize real-time monitoring of many important factors in marine farms, closely monitor the dynamic changes of the marine environment in the marine farm, and realize efficient biological collection behavior in the slit environment that cannot be reached by traditional vehicles, making an important contribution to the assessment of fish resources in the complex environment of marine farms.

In addition, this method of digging and filling the groove can avoid the parts from colliding with obstacles and being damaged when moving back and forth through the sea eel, and can maintain the complete fluid outline of the sea eel to a certain extent.The high-frequency data transmission antenna is solidified at the end of the bionic flexible underactuation tail 204 close to the head 100, which is convenient for sending a signal to the shore base when the bionic sea eel surfaces. The ultrasonic obstacle avoidance device 164 is installed in the ultrasonic obstacle avoidance oblique hole 121, which helps to realize the free obstacle avoidance function of the bionic sea eel even underwater, and the 9-axis attitude sensor is installed in the waterproof sealed control chamber 105, which makes full use of the remaining space and makes it easy to control the balance of the sea eel during swimming.
[0026] The bionic sea eel of this embodiment adopts a unique balancing method, which involves balancing each component of the bionic sea eel step by step, and assembling each balanced component into a balanced whole. The head balance adjustment chamber is balanced using counterweight blocks, and the weights of the counterweight blocks are equal and symmetrically arranged to avoid the head 100 being biased while the sea eel is swimming, and to achieve balance of the head 100. Each driving mechanism 211 of the rotating part 201 is surrounded by a floating material, which can be selected from pearl cotton-filled foam board, PVC flame-retardant sponge, sponge foam flame-retardant tape, etc., and when each driving mechanism 211 is made of different materials, it is balanced and the balance of the rotating part 201 is achieved. A floating material is solidified with eco-flexible silicone rubber inside the end of the bionic flexible under-actuation tail 204 close to the head 100, and the floating material is ground into a disk or square shape to form an anti-corrosion buoyancy chamber for the bionic sea eel, which increases the buoyancy of the front half of the bionic flexible under-actuation tail 204, prevents the bionic flexible under-actuation tail 204 from sinking and balances the weight of the head 100, thereby realizing the balance of the bionic flexible under-actuation tail 204. The floating material can also be used to fix the driving mechanism 211.
[0027] As shown in FIG. 11-FIG. 12, the rotating part 201 connected alternately in this embodiment connects two parts, the head 100 and the bionic flexible under-actuation tail 204, and the rotating part 201 includes three driving mechanisms 211. One driving mechanism 211 is composed of a biaxial wide U-shaped frame 227, a biaxial narrow U-shaped frame 221, a main wheel 228, a sub-wheel 225, and a biaxial steering engine 223 arranged above and below. The inner ring of the main wheel 228 is an internal gear and plays a master role, and the inner ring of the sub-wheel 225 is smooth and toothless and plays a slave role, so that the internal gear of the driving mechanism 211 operates for a long time to form a differential speed, preventing irreparable damage and wear on the driving mechanism 211. The opening of the biaxial wide U-shaped frame 227 and the opening of the biaxial narrow U-shaped frame 221 are arranged opposite to each other, and the biaxial steering engine 223 is arranged in the area surrounded by the biaxial wide U-shaped frame 227 and the biaxial narrow U-shaped frame 221. The driving mechanism 211 receives a signal from the microcontroller, and the driving mechanism 211 performs different relative motions to realize different eel-like propulsion movements of the body.
[0028] As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the bionic sea eel body in this embodiment has a body length of 160 cm and a maximum width of 12 cm. The ratio of the body length to the body width of the bionic sea eel body is 13:1, and the normal cross-sectional area from the head 100 to a quarter of the body length is 115.30 cm. 2 The cross-sectional area of the head from 100 cm to 3 / 4 of the body length is 8.92 cm 2The cross section of the sea eel has a certain ellipse ratio, and the cross section of the bionic sea eel is composed of two semi-ellipses with equal openings, the minor axis of the larger ellipse and the major axis of the smaller ellipse being equal, which is the ellipse ratio. The cross section of the bionic sea eel shows the change in cross section shape, and the magnitude of the ellipse ratio plays an important role in the drag reduction effect and hydrodynamic analysis of the bionic sea eel. The ellipse ratio of the cross section of the sea eel increases as the body length increases, the body width of the bionic sea eel decreases as the body length increases, the cross section of each part of the bionic sea eel body is teardrop-shaped, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, the side cross section of the bionic sea eel body is asymmetrical spindle-shaped, with a thick head and a pointed tail, and the top view cross section of the bionic sea eel body is tapered, with a wide head and a narrow tail, so that the bionic sea eel has an excellent fluid shape and a good resistance reduction effect. The dorsal fin 300, anal fin 400, and caudal fin 500 are each integrated with the bionic flexible underactuation tail 204 after multiple sol-gel hardening moldings. The edge of the head 100 is covered with an eco-flexible silicone rubber film 203 with a thickness of 0.15 cm along the outer circumference of the driving mechanism 211. The skin design protects the rigid internal structure and maintains the smooth fluid profile of the bionic sea eel for increased drag reduction. The eco-flexible silicone rubber film 203 is secured in place by an adjustable clamp 202, which includes an adjustable clamp ring 221 and a clamp tightening screw 222.
[0029] As shown in FIG. 15, the bionic flexible under-actuation tail 204, dorsal fin 300, anal fin 400, and tail fin 500 in this embodiment are poured with suitable eco-flexible silicone rubber, and solidified several times to form a thin piece, which is integrated with the bionic flexible under-actuation tail 204. The dorsal fin 300 is gradually thinner in the vertical direction, the anal fin 400 is gradually thinner in the vertical direction, and the tail fin 500 is installed horizontally, and the thickness gradually decreases from left to right. The thickness of the dorsal fin 300, anal fin 400, and tail fin 500 is 0.1-0.3 cm, and the tail fin 500 and the dorsal fin 300 move together to organize the wake flow, achieve a good resistance reduction effect, and improve the propulsion efficiency of the bionic sea eel in water. The front half of the bionic flexible under-actuation tail 204 is thick in the horizontal and vertical planes, and the rear half is relatively thin. Fifteen cast-in elongated rubber fins 301 are installed in the dorsal fin 300, anal fin 400, and caudal fin 500, which can support larger, thinner, and softer fins than cast-in fins made of 0-degree eco-flexible silicone rubber. The placement of the rubber fins 301 in the dorsal fin 300, anal fin 400, and caudal fin 500 improves the fluctuation of the flow field, allowing the dorsal fin 300, anal fin 400, and caudal fin 500 to resist a certain degree of turbulent force, and the impact of the water flow can better organize the wake flow and maintain balance during swimming, so it is particularly important to design the bionic sea eel with a tapered structure that becomes thinner as the body length increases.
[0030] After integrating the performance of multiple soft materials, the bionic sea eel used in the marine ranch environmental monitoring of this embodiment uses 0 degree eco-flexible silicone rubber to cast the bionic flexible underactuation tail 204. The thickness of the rubber layer made of the bionic flexible underactuation tail 204 is 0.5-3.5 cm. The temperature range of the selected soft material is -65℃-200℃, and it can be used for a long time and maintain its flexible elastic performance. In addition, it has passed the SSGS environmental protection non-toxic certification, has excellent electrical performance and chemical stability, is water-resistant, ozone-resistant, weather-resistant, non-corrosive, physiologically inert, non-toxic and tasteless, has low linear shrinkage, and is easy to operate.
[0031] The head 100 of this embodiment is solidified with a light but hard plastic material, and has a small deformation amount. The bionic flexible underactuation tail is cast with 0-degree eco-flexible silicone rubber, which has good toughness and flexibility, and has a large deformation amount. When swimming, the bionic sea eel can exhibit a wave-like deformation, which provides a basis for realizing eel-like swimming in terms of structural materials. When the bionic sea eel swims forward, the flexible and powerful body 200 generates propulsion, and the central protuberance of the sturdy bionic sea eel head 100 plays the role of breaking and diverting the water. The body 200 simulates the muscles and drive mechanism of a live sea eel, and the drive mechanism 211 realizes relative motion through the two-axis steering engine 223, and the bionic sea eel simulates the muscles and nerves of a live sea eel through eco-flexible silicone rubber.
