Detailed Description
Other advantages and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, which, by way of illustration, is to be read in connection with certain specific embodiments, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
As shown in fig. 1 to 12, the present invention provides a landing underwater vehicle based on fin fluctuation, and the technical scheme of the present invention will be described in detail by means of a specific embodiment implemented in an offshore area. Specifically, it mainly includes following several parts:
Diving main body 1: the outside of the device is a shell, and the inside of the device is provided with corresponding relevant equipment required for underwater monitoring, feedback, early warning and the like according to actual needs. Since this particular embodiment is considered to be applied to offshore areas, and more particularly, its submerged body 1 has a length of not more than 2m, a working water depth of not more than 100m, an economic speed of 1m/s and a maximum speed of 2m/s. It should be noted that, the specific values are only specific to the specific embodiment, and do not indicate that the technical solution of the present invention can only be set according to the specific values, and the technical solution of the present invention can be applied to any sea area, and the actual values can be adjusted according to the actual situation by those skilled in the art according to the applied sea areas, which is not repeated herein.
Propulsion mechanism 2: specifically, the fin structure 21 and the driving structure 22 for driving the fin structure 21 to fluctuate are included. For the fin structure 21, since it needs to take into account various motion modes and usage scenarios, there is an anisotropic requirement for the mechanical properties of the material. Specifically, the spanwise direction (i.e., the direction in which the wave direction forms an angle, preferably from the side closer to the main body 1 to the side farther from the main body 1) needs to have higher rigidity, and the chordwise direction (i.e., along the wave direction) needs to be softer than the spanwise direction as a whole. Specifically:
Spanwise direction: the portion requiring high rigidity is an elongated portion denoted a in fig. 13 (it should be noted that a portion is symbolically denoted a here, and it can be seen from fig. 13 that the portion denoted a is substantially along the radial direction of the fan ring structure, so that a plurality of radial directions can be selectively set for high rigidity). Such an arrangement would be driven by the driving structure 22 clamping the fixing point based on the fluctuation, and therefore, it is necessary to have the fin structure 21 which is at least partially flexible and capable of fluctuation, and has a certain strength in the spanwise direction, so that the driving force driven by clamping the fixing point and extending can be smoothly transmitted in the spanwise direction of the whole fin structure 21.
Chordwise: which has a low stiffness requirement and a relatively high stiffness requirement.
The need for low stiffness is sufficiently flexible to ensure that the overall fan-shaped fin structure 21 provides relatively little driving force (i.e., additional work required by the clip) when clamped and driven to wave by the clip, and to avoid excessive load requirements on the drive structure 22.
While the relatively higher stiffness-requiring portions are laterally elongated portions, labeled B and C in fig. 13. This location is set mainly in view of the fact that the fin structure 21 needs to have a certain strength (high tensile strength, relatively small tensile deformation) for underwater movement, and will not excessively deform at high frequency and high amplitude when water is being extracted. This area is thus mainly concentrated in the fin structure 21 in the circumferential direction at the end remote from the submerged body 1, i.e. chordwise with a certain strength near the outer edge. The specific width and length of the device can be adjusted according to actual needs.
Further, since the fin structure 21 has a certain twist (due to the fixing method of the driving structure 22) after forming the three-dimensional wave shape, the material of the fin structure 21 (preferably, the fin surface 211 requiring the wave shape) needs to have a certain deformability.
As shown in fig. 13, the portion denoted D is close to the submerged body 1 and is connected to the driving structure 22, where the driving force of the driving structure 22 is applied and further transmitted over the entire fin structure 21, and therefore, this portion denoted D is also required to have a certain strength so that the force of the driving structure 22 can be smoothly and effectively transmitted over the fin structure 21 (mainly the fin surface 211).
Further, in a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the fin structure 21 mainly includes a fin 212 and a fin surface 211 (i.e., the fin 212 is a portion denoted as a in fig. 13, where the rigidity requirement is the highest, and preferably, the fin 212 is a rigid rod). Wherein,
1) Fin 212: when all the fins 212 swing in a sine manner with a certain phase difference (between each other), the wave formed by swinging the three-dimensional fin surface 211 propagates along the chord direction and drives the flexible fin film (the flexible fin film is made of a similar flexible film material formed by the fin surface 211 made of a flexible material), the fins 212 are used as the skeleton structure of the fin structure 21, and in the practical application process, the length of the fins 212 can be further set to be 0.3m so as to adapt to the environment of the offshore water area used in the specific embodiment. Further, in order to make the connection between the two fins 212 relatively more stable, so that the fins 212 are relatively formed into a whole, the stress difference between the fin 212 close to the driving structure 22 and the fin 212 far away from the driving structure 22 is avoided to be too large, and the connecting stabilizer 213 can be hinged between the two adjacent fins 212, so that the stability of the connection between the fins 212 is further improved while the fin 212 is not affected to drive the fin surface 211 to fluctuate, and the fluctuation stability of the whole structure is improved.
2) Fin surface 211: the fin surface 211 has a fan ring shape, the inner and outer circular arcs share a circle center, the fin surface 211 is equally divided according to the number of the fin strips 212, a plurality of sub-fin surfaces can be obtained, and the adjacent sub-fin surfaces share one fin strip 212. The choice of fin 211 material primarily takes into account two factors: the active deformation of the fin surface 211 can push water, and the passive deformation of the fin surface 211 is easy to generate under the action of hydrodynamic force. Therefore, a thin silicone film with a low elastic modulus is selected as the fin surface 211 material. Thereby being convenient for forming a three-dimensional fluctuation shape and forming a single-side water-poking structure of the landing type underwater vehicle. On the basis of this, two sets of fin surfaces 211 and fin bars 212 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the submerged body 1.
3) Drive structure 22: the swinging of the fin 212 is powered by the drive structure 22 and therefore a suitable drive mode needs to be selected. The servo steering engine meets the requirements in terms of output torque, operability, response speed and the like, and meets the function of driving the fin 212, so that the steering engine 226 is selected as a driver in driving the fin structure 21. Further, steering engine 226 is coupled to fin 212 via a rotatably disposed rotating member. For example, as shown in fig. 8, the rotating member specifically includes a rotating disc 221 rotatably disposed, a connecting piece 222 extending from the rotating disc 221, and a hinge member 223 disposed on one end of the connecting piece 222 away from the rotating disc 221, where an end of the hinge member 223 away from the rotating disc 221 is provided with a mounting member 224 for connecting the fin body structure 21, and the steering engine 226 drives the rotating disc 221 to swing or rotate integrally or through a coaxial rotating shaft on the rotating disc 221, so as to drive the connecting piece 222 connected to the rotating disc 221 or the rotating shaft on the rotating disc 221 to swing or rotate, so as to be further sequentially conducted to the fin 212 through the hinge member 223 and the mounting member 224, and further drive the fin surface 211 to fluctuate. It should be noted that the mounting member 224 is preferably fixedly connected to the fin 212, so as to better ensure the stability of the whole structure. Meanwhile, the rotating members may be provided in plural groups, and are preferably arranged at equal intervals along the extending direction of the fin surface 211. More preferably, the rotating members are arranged symmetrically about the center of the fin surface 211 to better ensure the regularity of the waveform of the entire wave.
Furthermore, since the steering engine 226 needs to be sealed, the steering engine 226 can be mounted on the submarine main body 1 or a sealing cavity is additionally provided for placing the steering engine 226, and an output shaft of the steering engine 226 further penetrates through the sealing mounting portion 225 to be connected with a rotating member, so that the sealing performance of the structure is better improved.
On this basis, in order to ensure the consistency of the fluctuation frequency and amplitude of the rotating members on two sides which are centrosymmetric, and improve the regularity of the whole fluctuation, preferably, each group of symmetrically arranged rotating members can further adopt the same steering engine 226, namely, as the frequencies and amplitudes of the rotating members are consistent, the swinging directions are opposite, as shown in fig. 12, the output shaft of the steering engine 226 is only required to be connected to one of the rotating members, meanwhile, a group of gear sets is further connected to the output shaft, and further, another driven shaft is driven by the gear sets, so that the rotation directions of the driven shafts are opposite, and the other rotating members are connected to the driven shaft. For example, in one particular embodiment, as illustrated in fig. 12, a first drive gear 228 and a second drive gear 229 are coupled to the output shaft of steering engine 226. The first driving gear 228 is further meshed with a first driven gear 230, a first driven shaft 231 on the first rotating member is connected with the first driven gear 230, and the first driven shaft 231 is opposite to the output shaft of the steering engine 226 in steering direction; two second driven gears 232 are sequentially meshed with the second driving gear 229, and a second driven shaft 233 on a second rotating member is connected to the second driven gear 232 far away from the second driving gear 229, so that the second driven shaft 233 turns the same as the output shaft of the steering engine 226. Based on the above arrangement, one steering engine 226 can synchronously drive a group of rotating members with opposite directions to rotate at the same frequency. In addition, in order to make the axes of the driven shafts on the same straight line, the gears with appropriate diameters are selected according to the number of the gears in each group of gear sets, which is not repeated herein. Meanwhile, it should be noted that, the installation mode of the gear set and/or the driven wheel may be a mode that can be understood and set by those skilled in the art, so that the gear set and/or the driven wheel can only rotate, and this setting mode is easy for those skilled in the art to implement, for example, the driven wheel may be limited so that the driven wheel can only rotate, and the gear set is limited and set on the output shaft and the driven shaft, which is not repeated herein. Based on this, the invention further proposes a mode of driving multiple sets of rotating components by adopting the same steering engine 226, and the reverse rotation setting is just to refer to the above setting; for different groups of rotating parts, the swing amplitudes are mainly different so as to better realize the fluctuation of the waveform, therefore, different swing ranges can be realized based on the same output shaft only by further arranging a speed change gear set, and the driven shafts are driven by the different speed change gear sets to finish the difference of swing ranges of different rotating parts. The speed change gear set is of a type that will be understood and used by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.
Furthermore, in order to meet the requirements of different navigational speeds of underwater diving, and to adaptively adjust according to different environments, the steering engine 226 is further connected with a speed regulator, and the rotating speed of the steering engine 226 can be adjusted remotely or according to environmental information. For example, when a certain buoyancy is required instead of a state of swimming in water, the rotation speed of the steering engine 226 is low, so that a low swing frequency is achieved.
Landing running gear 3: which is located at the bottom of the submerged body 1 and comprises a bottom plate 31 for placing the submerged body 1 and a crawler-type moving base mounted below the bottom plate 31. To facilitate walking, the tracked mobile base here further comprises auxiliary mobile portions 32 on both sides and a main mobile portion 33 in the middle. As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the main moving part 33 serves as a main structure of the implantation seabed. In the practical application, even in the landing state, only the propulsion mechanism 2 needs to be turned on to generate forward propulsion power by the fluctuation of the fin structure 21, so that the main moving part 33 is influenced by the driving force to move forward or backward. That is, by the arrangement of the present invention, there is no need to additionally add a driving device in a landing state. Of course, the main moving part 33 can be driven to rotate by an additional driving mode to move on the seabed bed surface, and on the basis, the auxiliary moving parts 32 on two sides can be driven by the same rotating motor with the crawler, so that two groups of balanced touchdown points are further provided, the whole movement is better realized, and a new driving motor is not required to be additionally added.
While the invention has been described in detail in the foregoing general description and specific examples, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and improvements can be made thereto. Accordingly, such modifications or improvements may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention and are intended to be within the scope of the invention as claimed.
