Description

Three-propeller underwater robot based on vector nozzle control
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of automatic products, and relates to a three-propeller underwater robot based on vector nozzle control.
Background
Existing observation-level underwater robots (ROVs, i.e., remotely controlled underwater robots) exhibit a variety of shapes in design. The open frame design is commonly adopted for medium and large ROVs, and the appearance is helpful for improving the stability of the robot in water. This stability is determined by the spacing of the center of gravity and the center of buoyancy, also known as the centre of gravity. The center of gravity of an object is the point of integration of all weights, and the center of buoyancy of the object is the point of combined force action of all buoyancy. The floating center is generally positioned above the center of gravity, and if the floating center is positioned below, the object rotates in water to automatically correct the posture. When the external flow rate or thrust changes, the ROV can incline on the X axis, and the robot is restored to the vertical state by using restoring moment generated by gravity moment and buoyancy moment. ROVs with centers of gravity and floating centers at the same point appear on the market at present, and the operation flexibility of the robot is obviously improved under the condition of sacrificing the self-stability adjusting capability of the machine. According to the new trend, the performance is reasonably selected and removed, and the low-stability observation-level underwater robot is designed.
Existing observation-level underwater robots are mainly divided into medium-sized ROVs and small-sized ROVs. Although the medium-sized ROV device has good carrying performance, the problems of large volume, large weight and poor portability generally exist, so that the medium-sized ROV device is wasted in task applications such as conventional observation tasks and marine object pickup, and a large amount of task devices cannot be carried due to small self-body weight when light-duty tasks are executed. The existing small ROV is compact in structure and convenient to carry, but can only meet the underwater observation requirement, and the matched task modules are fewer, and meanwhile, because the volume is too small, the small ROV can be optimized for a single task, and the multi-task execution force is poor.
Aiming at the problems, the invention adopts the task equipment module design on the basis of keeping the advantages of small volume and good portability of the small ROV, and has the advantages of good carrying performance of medium ROV equipment and the like. Through the modularized design of task equipment, the robot can be quickly replaced and configured according to different task demands, and the adaptability and the flexibility of the robot are improved. Meanwhile, the advantages of small volume, good portability and the like of the small ROV are maintained, so that the robot is more portable and easy to operate, and is suitable for more application scenes. .
The existing observation-level underwater robots are different in shape, but have the following defects
(1) The general volume is larger, and the resistance to the appearance is large
(2) The operation is rigid and inflexible
(3) High cost and low cost performance

FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a ducted propeller;
further, the first double-rotor propeller 1 and the second double-rotor propeller 1 have the same structure; the first double-rotor propeller 1 adopts a duct type propeller 2 system;
the duct type propeller 2 system comprises a propeller and a duct, wherein the propeller is arranged in the duct, and a non-smooth part is arranged on the inner wall of the duct; the non-smooth portion is disposed between the lower edge of the propeller and the outlet diffusing port of the duct, so that axial movement of the tip vortex is blocked by the non-smooth portion, and the strength of the tip vortex is reduced. On the windward side of the non-smooth part, the speed of the tip vortex is restrained, the flow speed is reduced, the main flow of the tip vortex at the leeward side of the non-smooth part is attached to the inner wall of the guide pipe again, the vortex effect is blocked, the reattached gas has higher energy near the wall area, the separation of the air flow caused by the reverse pressure gradient of the outlet diffusion opening section of the guide pipe is overcome, the separation of the water flow at the outlet diffusion opening of the guide pipe is basically and completely restrained, the water flow flows along the wall surface, the flow channel is gradually enlarged, the slip flow area is effectively increased, the fluid property of the system is improved, the thrust is improved, and the 3D printing-based guide pipe propeller type propeller can effectively reduce the damage risk of the blades, avoid collision with the foreign matters, perform multi-wheel iteration aiming at the number of blades and the propeller type, and has the effect of reducing the vibration of the propeller, and obviously improve the propulsion efficiency of the propeller on the premise of ensuring the provision of the thrust. Finally, 76 mm diameter three-blade propellers with balanced performance in all aspects are selected.
In order to achieve higher navigational speed of the underwater robot in water, the counter-rotating brushless motor is applied to a counter-rotating propeller propulsion system, nearly twice thrust is achieved under unit water facing area, the structure of the propulsion system can be simplified, the size is reduced, the weight and the cost are reduced, and no electric brush slip ring is arranged, so that the running is safer and more reliable.
The inner and outer rotors and the stator of the double-rotor motor are coupled together by 2 rotating magnetic fields, which is very different from the conventional motor. And three-phase symmetrical current is introduced into three-phase symmetrical windings at the inner side and the outer side of the stator to generate a rotating magnetic field. The stator flux is divided into two parts, and the two parts respectively cross the inner and outer air gaps to be linked with 2 rotors, and at the moment, respective electromagnetic torque can be generated on the rotor side. The magnetic fluxes of the 2 rotating magnetic fields pass through the stator iron core and are respectively in linkage with the inner and outer windings of the stator, and the inner and outer windings of the stator are connected in series, so that the motor can be simply regarded as the series connection of 2 motors.
In addition, the double-rotor propeller 1 can overcome self-torsion in a rotor contra-rotation mode, so that the operation quality of the underwater robot is improved, and the operation difficulty is reduced.
The dual rotor propeller 1 has a bright point in that it combines a brushless motor with a counter-rotating propeller. The application of the brushless motor eliminates the brush slip ring in the traditional motor, and improves the running safety and reliability. In addition, the volume and weight of the brushless motor are relatively small, which is beneficial to reducing the volume and weight of the propulsion system and reducing the cost. By placing two contra-rotating propellers in opposite positions, the contra-rotating propeller propulsion system can generate opposite thrust at the same time, thereby realizing more efficient propulsion.
One advantage of the twin rotor propeller 1 is that it performs better in terms of vertical take-off and landing and hover. This enables accurate handling and positioning of the underwater robot. In addition, since dual rotor systems are generally simpler, maintenance and operation are relatively easy.
The dynamic thrust is improved to some extent, and is equivalent to the thrust generated by the propeller relative to the speed of water flow, the device accelerates the speed of water flow relative to the speed of surrounding water flow, actual thrust is generated, when the propeller runs, the faster the speed is, the dynamic thrust can be weakened, and the speed of water flow is greatly improved, so that the dynamic thrust can have a better effect.
The twin rotor propeller 1 typically comprises two rotating propellers which may be connected by an axis to the core part of the engine. The two rotors are stacked one above the other.
According to the double-rotor propeller 1, on the premise of not increasing the cross section size, the performance and the thrust of the propeller in a high-speed state are obviously enhanced by improving the water flow speed. In order to overcome the reverse torque force generated by the propeller and avoid yaw of the machine, the technical strategy of reversing the rotation direction of the propeller is adopted, so that the sailing stability is ensured, and the propulsion efficiency of the propeller is further improved. When two birotor motors are connected with each other, the electric energy efficiency can be lost by about 25%, but under the high-speed running condition, the configuration can greatly improve the performance of the propeller, so that the propulsion strength of the propeller is improved by more than twice of that of the propeller.
This application modularized design, every module can all be through 3D printing technique manufacturing, and this not only greatly reduced manufacturing cost, can carry out the change and the restoration of module moreover fast, improved the availability factor of robot. Is convenient to maintain and reduces the use cost.
The cable is as follows:
launch and cable connection: at this stage, the robot is typically connected to the operator station by a cable, which provides power and communications.
Running tasks: the robot is controlled in real time under water by a remote operator, and through cables it can communicate with ground stations, send data, receive instructions, and report task progress in real time.
Data transmission: the data collected by the robot may be transmitted back to the ground station via cables, including sensor readings, images, video, etc.
No cable:
task planning: the robot accepts the mission plan, typically including target location, depth, etc., before the mission begins.
Launch: the robot is launched and is not connected with the ground station through a physical cable.
Autonomous motion: the robot moves autonomously through a built-in navigation and control system to execute tasks. It typically uses inertial navigation systems, sonar, laser ranging, etc. sensors for positioning and navigation.
Data storage and transmission: the data collected by the AUV are stored internally, and the data is returned to the ground station for extraction after the robot completes the task.
FIG. 3 is a double rotor motor equivalent circuit;

2.5 motion modeling analysis
2.5.1 coordinate System establishment
In order to simplify the analysis of the underwater motion of the underwater robot, a coordinate system needs to be established to clearly describe the relationship between the motion parameters such as the position, the gesture, the speed, the angular speed, the acceleration, the angular acceleration and the like of the underwater robot and the time. For this purpose, a Cartesian coordinate system is selected as the basis and an inertial system is established for kinetic analysis.
According to the system recommended by the International pool conference (ITTC) and the system of the term bulletin of the society of shipbuilding and turbine engineering (SNAME), the fixed coordinates E-XYZ (fixed system) and the motion coordinates O-XYZ (dynamic system) are established. The origin E of the fixed system is positioned at a certain point on the water surface, and the XYZ axes are respectively directed to the north, east and vertical upward directions and are mainly used for describing the absolute position and the gesture of the underwater robot in the water. The origin O of the dynamic system is positioned on the mass center of the underwater robot, and the xyz axis is parallel to the fixed system and is mainly used for describing the relative position and the posture of the underwater robot relative to water flow.
(one) fixed coordinate System

(II) motion coordinate System
Motion coordinate system: commonly referred to as a carrier coordinate system, is built on the underwater robot carrier and varies with the position of the carrier.

The coordinate system O-xyz is also a rectangular coordinate system.

Equation of horizontal motion
The underwater robot moves horizontally, namely w=0, p=q=0, and the equation of motion can be simplified as follows:

(II) lateral movement
When the underwater robot moves transversely underwater, u=0, q=r=0 and x g =y g =z g =0, then the equation of motion is:
(III) vertical movement
When the underwater robot moves vertically underwater, v=0, p=r=0 and x g =y g =z g =0, then the equation of motion is:
finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and not for limiting the same; although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some or all of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the invention.
