the motion principle of the pectoral fin drive module is described in conjunction with fig. 1-5. The pectoral fin comprises a head part, a middle part and a rear part, and the tail end of a rod piece of each fin assembly is adhered to the inside of the flexible skin, so that the motion of the fin is controlled to drive the whole outer surface skin structure to perform flapping-wing action similar to a bat ray. The left pectoral fin driving module is taken as an example for explanation, the left pectoral fin driving module comprises three fin strip assemblies perpendicular to the axial direction of an aircraft, the fin strip assemblies are uniformly distributed on one side wall of a trunk part along the axial direction of the aircraft in sequence, the three fin strip assemblies are all in a crank-connecting rod structure and are respectively controlled by a motor, the three fin strip assemblies are used for shaping and driving the front, middle and rear positions of the pectoral fin on the left side of the aircraft, and the fin strip driving module is matched with a right pectoral fin driving module of a symmetrical piece to realize the flapping-wing movement of a simulated bat; the head fin component is a two-connecting-rod crank sliding block mechanism, the middle fin component is a three-connecting-rod crank sliding block mechanism, and the rear fin component drives a rocker to rotate by a motor.
The head fin ray assembly comprises a head motor 1, a head connecting rod 2, a head sliding block 3, a head swing rod 4 and a head motor bracket 12; the head motor 1 is fixed at the front end of the side wall of the trunk part through a head motor bracket 12, and an output shaft of the head motor is vertically fixed with one end of the head connecting rod 2, so that the head connecting rod 2 can rotate around the output shaft of the head motor 1; the head sliding block 3 is hinged with a first bracket fixed right below the head connecting rod 2; the middle part of the head swing rod 4 is hinged with the other end of the head connecting rod 2, and the lower part of the head swing rod passes through a through hole arranged on the head sliding block 3 and ensures clearance fit;
the middle fin-shaped component comprises a middle motor 5, a middle connecting rod 6, a middle first sliding block 7, a middle second sliding block 8, a middle first swing rod 9, a middle second swing rod 14 and a middle motor bracket 13; the middle motor 5 is fixed in the middle of the side wall of the trunk part through a middle motor bracket 13, and an output shaft of the middle motor is vertically fixed with one end of the middle connecting rod 6, so that the middle connecting rod 6 can rotate around the output shaft of the middle motor 5; the middle first sliding block 7 is hinged with a second bracket fixed right below the middle connecting rod 6; the upper part of the middle first swing rod 9 is hinged with the other end of the middle connecting rod 6, and the lower part thereof passes through a through hole arranged on the middle first sliding block 7 and ensures clearance fit; the middle second sliding block 8 is hinged with the other end of the middle connecting rod 6; the middle part of the middle second swing rod 14 is hinged with the top end of the middle first swing rod 9, and the lower part of the middle second swing rod passes through a through hole arranged on the middle second sliding block 8 and ensures clearance fit;
the rear fin ray assembly comprises a rear motor 10, a rear swing rod 11 and a rear motor support 21; the rear motor 10 is fixed to the rear end of the side wall of the trunk portion through a rear motor bracket 21, and an output shaft of the rear motor is vertically fixed to one end of the rear swing link 11, so that the rear swing link 11 can rotate around the output shaft of the rear motor 10.
When the link mechanism of each fin ray is in a horizontal extension state and the vector propeller at the tail does not act, the position of each motor is a zero position at the moment, and the aircraft glides horizontally in water. When the head motor 1 rotates clockwise, the head connecting rod 2 rotates clockwise, the near end of the head swing rod 4 slides in the head sliding block 3, the far end of the head swing rod 4 tilts upwards, and the rotating angle of the far end of the head swing rod 4 is larger than the rotating angle of the output shaft of the motor 1. The reciprocating rotation action of the middle motor 5 can drive the middle connecting rod 6 to rotate in a reciprocating manner, and because one end of the middle first swing rod 9 can slide back and forth in the middle first slide block 7, the middle connecting rod 6 is hinged with the middle first swing rod 9, and the middle connecting rod 6 can drive the tail end of the middle first swing rod 9 to swing in a reciprocating manner at an angle larger than the rotation angle of the motor output shaft. The tail end of the middle first swing rod 9 is hinged with a middle through hole of the middle second swing rod 14, the middle second swing rod 14 can slide in the through hole of the middle second slider 8, and the middle second swing rod 14 can swing back and forth at a larger angle along with the movement of the middle first swing rod 9. The swing phases of the middle second swing link 14, the middle connecting rod 6 and the middle first swing link 9 are the same, namely the swing phases swing upwards along with the clockwise rotation of the output shaft of the middle motor 5 and swing downwards along with the anticlockwise rotation of the output shaft of the middle motor 5. The motion mode of the left rear fin-shaped fin assembly is that an output shaft of a rear motor 10 rotates in a reciprocating mode to directly drive a rear swing rod 11 to move in a reciprocating mode.
The motion mechanism of the whole aircraft driven by pectoral fins and propellers is described in conjunction with fig. 1-7: the aircraft mainly depends on changing the swing frequency, angle and phase difference of a connecting rod structure driving motor of each pectoral fin to accurately control the motion attitude of the aircraft. When the output shafts of the motors of the link mechanisms of the left pectoral fin driving module rotate clockwise when viewed from the rear edge to the front edge, the parts of the tail ends of the link mechanisms on the left side, which are adhered to the skin, move upwards; when the output shafts of the driving motors on the right side rotate clockwise, the tail ends of the connecting rod mechanisms on the right side drive the skin to move downwards. When the left and right link mechanisms flap downwards from front to back with the phase difference of 60-120 degrees, the pectoral fins push water flow backwards, and the aircraft swims forwards. When the left and right link mechanisms flap downwards from back to front with a phase difference of 60-120 degrees, the aircraft swims backwards. When the tail ends of the link mechanisms on the left side of the aircraft flap downwards at the same time and the tail ends of the link mechanisms on the right side flap upwards at the same time, the aircraft turns left; the amplitude of the flapping motion is increased, and the aircraft can turn around in situ to the left. When the link mechanisms on the left side and the right side flap downwards simultaneously, the amplitudes are compared, the amplitude of upward flap is larger than that of downward flap, and the amplitude of flap of the tail link is larger than that of the head, the aircraft can finish submerged motion underwater, otherwise, the aircraft floats upwards.
The motion mechanism of the propeller vector propulsion module is described with reference to fig. 4, the propeller vector propulsion module includes two left and right vector ducted propeller modules with symmetrical structures, and the left vector propeller propulsion mechanism includes a swing driving motor 16, a ducted propeller 17 and a motor bracket 18; the swing driving motor 16 is fixedly connected with the tail part of the trunk part through a motor bracket 18, and the ducted propeller thruster 17 is driven by an output shaft of the swing driving motor 16 to integrally rotate; two ducted propeller propellers in the left vector ducted propeller module and the right vector ducted propeller module can respectively rotate around an output shaft of the swing driving motor 16 in the same direction or in different angles in a differential mode. The ducted propeller thruster 17 is driven by the swing driving motor 16 to rotate by taking an output shaft of the ducted propeller thruster as a rotating shaft, and the output shaft of the swing driving motor 16 is parallel to the wall surface of the tail end of the trunk part; the drive shaft of the oscillating drive motor 16 may rotate the entire ducted propeller to form a vector propulsion module. When the propellers of the left and right side culvert propeller propellers rotate in the same direction and the propellers at the two sides push downwards simultaneously, the tail part of the aircraft tilts upwards and the aircraft moves downwards; while pushing upward, the vehicle moves upward. When the propellers of the left and right lateral culvert propeller propulsion machines rotate reversely, the aircraft realizes left and right steering movement.
The vectored propeller drive module may work in conjunction with the pectoral fin propulsion module. The vector propellers assist in accelerating the speed of navigation propelled by the pectoral fins, and simultaneously, the vector propellers assist in changing the pitch angle of the aircraft more rapidly when the pitching action is completed. When the left side and the right side of the pectoral fin propulsion module keep the motion state of the aircraft unchanged, the propulsion of the tail vector propeller can enable the aircraft to slide upwards or downwards at a higher speed.
In the aspect of control, the control module 24 comprises an upper computer, an STM32 driving board, a Jetson TX2 single-module super computer and an underwater acoustic control board. When the cruise control system works, firstly, a designated planning cruise route is input to the upper computer by a person, the upper computer sends an action command to the STM32 driving plate after analyzing the route, and the STM32 driving plate controls each steering engine to move. When the forward-looking and side-scan sonars detect that obstacles such as fish schools exist nearby, the information is sent to the underwater acoustic control board, the underwater acoustic control board sends the re-planned path information to the STM32 driving board, and the steering engines are driven to change the motion state.
In terms of work, the communication module 22 includes a communication antenna, a wireless communication module, and a GPS positioning module. The detection working module 23 comprises a sensor for detection, an infrared distance meter, a forward-looking sonar, a side-scan sonar, an illumination system and a binocular camera. The binocular camera is matched with the lighting device to shoot underwater real-time monitoring pictures, the Jetson TX2 single-module super computer can identify the pictures, and the wireless module and the antenna can transmit image information to an experimenter on the ground. The sensor for detection can be but not limited to a thermohaline sensor, a chlorophyll sensor, a height sensor, a depth sensor, a heavy metal ion concentration sensor, a water oxygen concentration sensor and the like, and various sensors can be selected based on different working requirements.
The buoyancy control and load rejection module 26 is used for enabling the aircraft to obtain positive buoyancy through load rejection when the aircraft is disconnected from the ground control center, so that the antenna of the aircraft floats out of the water. At the moment, the GPS determines the water area coordinate of the aircraft, and sends the coordinate information to the ground control center through the communication module, so that the time for salvaging the aircraft is saved.
The flexible skin shell can be, but is not limited to, a flexible material such as pearl cloth, a POBB film, a polylactic acid film and the like. The flexible skin covers the control cabin shell, the whole pectoral fin propulsion mechanism and the tail swing driving motor 16, but the duct part of the duct propeller 17 is required to be positioned outside the flexible skin.
The head, middle and tail connecting rod mechanisms of the pectoral fin propulsion mechanism can be directly coated in the skin, and can also be poured by using silica gel or hydrogel, and the whole pectoral fin propulsion mechanism is poured into an NACA wing section and then coated with the skin.
And waterproof sealing is required to be adopted for a control module and each driving motor part of the aircraft.
