The existing monitoring installation mode is commonly provided with two modes of fixed upright post installation and underwater robot. The upright post is fixed, the monitoring range is too narrow, too many monitoring points need to be distributed and controlled, and the ever-increasing monitoring requirements are difficult to meet. The existing underwater robot equipment generally adopts a mode of propellers in the up-down direction to realize the floating, sinking and hovering of the equipment. The biggest drawback of this approach is that even in a hovering state, there is a large power consumption, resulting in a weak cruising ability of the underwater robot apparatus.
The working mode of the underwater hovering monitoring robot is studied, the monitoring robot is considered to have motion requirements in six directions including front-floating and sinking, rear-floating and left-right directions, the motion state time is very short, and the monitoring robot can hover in a static state for a long time after generally reaching a target position and height, so that the endurance time of the underwater hovering monitoring robot can be greatly prolonged only by reducing the power consumption of the underwater robot when hovering. Therefore, the idea of adopting the zero-power underwater hovering system is provided, and the underwater hovering monitoring robot hovering in the mode does not consume power when the underwater hovering monitoring robot maintains hovering, so that precious power resources of small equipment can be all used for the camera sensor and the control system. Therefore, the cruising requirement of the underwater hovering monitoring robot for several days or even tens of days is met and solved.

In this embodiment, the water electrolysis module includes a water electrolysis circuit board module and an inert metal electrode 170, the water electrolysis circuit board module includes an H-bridge driving circuit 140 and a constant current and constant voltage control circuit 150, and the H-bridge driving circuit 140, the constant current and constant voltage control circuit 150 and the inert metal electrode 170 constitute the water electrolysis module. The H-bridge driving circuit 140 and the constant current and constant voltage control circuit 150 are hermetically arranged at the inner top of the watertight bin 1, and the inert metal electrode 170 is arranged at the inner bottom of the watertight bin 1. Principle of electrolysis of water: two inert electrodes immersed in water are electrified with direct current with certain voltage, and the water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen under the action of the direct current.
In this embodiment, the inert metal electrode 170 is composed of two titanium alloy metal electrodes, and is resistant to various acidic and alkaline water qualities. In order to improve the reaction efficiency of water electrolysis, the titanium alloy metal electrode is electroplated, so that a layer of platinum or iridium is plated on the surface of the titanium alloy metal electrode to serve as a catalyst of electrolyzed water, and the reaction rate is improved. In this embodiment, the plating layer on the surface of the titanium alloy metal electrode may be platinum or iridium.
In this embodiment, the H-bridge driving circuit 140: when two inert metal electrodes 170 are connected to a direct current, the electrode connected to a positive voltage is called an anode electrode, the electrode connected to a negative voltage is called a cathode electrode, a current always flows from the anode electrode to the cathode electrode, if the anode electrode and the cathode electrode are kept unchanged, excessive cavities are generated on the anode electrode, and then hydrogen atoms generated after water electrolysis diffuse into the cavities and become hydrogen molecules, so that great pressure is generated, and the inert metal electrodes 170 become brittle or even break, and the reaction is called 'hydrogen embrittlement'. In order to prevent the generation of hydrogen embrittlement, an H-bridge driving circuit 140 is designed to change the direction of the dc voltage, so that both the two inert metal electrodes 170 can be anode electrodes in one time period and become cathode electrodes in the next time period, thereby preventing the generation of excessive holes on one inert metal electrode 170, and preventing the generation of hydrogen embrittlement.
In this embodiment, the constant current and constant voltage control circuit 150: in the water electrolysis module, the speed of water decomposition into hydrogen and oxygen is in direct proportion to the voltage and current applied to the two inert metal electrodes 170, and the higher the voltage, the higher the current, the faster the water electrolysis speed. Therefore, the constant current and voltage control circuit 150 is designed to control the speed of the electro-hydrolysis.
In this embodiment, the two inert metal electrodes 170 are an anode electrode for half of the time and a cathode electrode for half of the time, and lose electrons when serving as the anode electrode, and obtain electrons when serving as the cathode electrode, thereby greatly prolonging the service life of the electrodes. In order to control the speed of the water electrolysis process, an adjustable constant current and constant voltage control circuit 150 is also arranged in the water electrolysis module, and the speed of the gas generated by water electrolysis is controlled by adjusting the current passing through the electrodes.
In this embodiment, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a PWM-modulated H-bridge driving circuit, and when it is operated, Q1/Q4 turns on Q2/Q3 and turns off, and current flows from M + to M +, and if Q1/Q4 turns off and Q2/Q3 turns on, current flows from M + to M +. Regardless of the M +/M-current flow, the current always flows to GND through resistor R16. A voltage corresponding to the current is formed on a resistor R16, and the conducting time of Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 is controlled by adopting a pulse width control mode (PWM), so that the current flowing through a resistor R16 can be controlled, and the voltage CT2 formed on a resistor R16 is changed. When the voltage CT2 is controlled to a constant value, it indicates that the current flowing through the resistor R16 is also a constant value, completing a control process.
In this embodiment, the top of the watertight bin 1 is provided with an air outlet 2, the air outlet solenoid valve 160 is arranged at the air outlet 2, and is controlled by the solenoid valve control circuit 130 to provide an exhaust passage for the air in the watertight bin 1, the bottom of the watertight bin 1 is provided with two normally open water openings 3, and the two water openings 3 are arranged in tandem to keep the balance of water inlet and water outlet. When the air release solenoid valve 160 is opened, the air in the watertight compartment 1 is reduced, the air pressure in the watertight compartment 1 is reduced, and water enters the inside of the watertight compartment 1 through the water passage port 3. The water electrolysis module in the watertight bin 1 decomposes water in the watertight bin 1 into hydrogen and oxygen, and as the gas in the watertight bin 1 increases, the air pressure in the watertight bin 1 increases, and water in the watertight bin 1 is discharged from the water through port 3. The air pressure in the watertight bin 1 is controlled, the water level in the watertight bin 1 is changed, the total buoyancy of the hovering system and the weight of the hovering system are adjusted, and the hovering system floats upwards, sinks or hovers.
In this embodiment, the electronic circuits of the hovering system are all embedded inside the watertight bin 1 by adopting sealing components.
In this embodiment, the lifting controller further includes a low-frequency carrier wireless serial port of 48KHz to 78 KHz.
In this embodiment, the method for implementing floating, sinking and hovering of the hovering system includes:
the method comprises the steps of setting a benchmark, when the hovering system floats on the water surface, measuring current air pressure through a posture angle sensor 110 arranged in a lifting controller, converting the air pressure and an altitude comparison table to obtain the current altitude of the hovering system, and setting the altitude and the current posture of the hovering system as the benchmark by a single chip microcomputer 120.
When a user sets the sinking and floating distances of the hovering system, the maximum value 0 of the floating is set according to the reference, the sinking distance is measured by a negative value, the distance comprises real-time acceleration and duration, and a reference table of reference air pressure and current air pressure is consulted and inquired.
And sinking, assuming that the user needs the hovering system to hover 5 meters below the water surface, the lifting controller receives an external instruction through a 48KHz-78KHz low-frequency carrier wireless serial port, and at the moment, the single chip microcomputer 120 judges that the hovering system is sinking according to the motion attitude data of the attitude angle sensor 110. The single chip microcomputer 120 controls the air release electromagnetic valve 160 to be opened, air in the watertight bin 1 is discharged, air pressure in the watertight bin 1 is reduced, water enters the watertight bin 1 from the water through port 3, when the total buoyancy of the hovering system is smaller than the self weight, the hovering system begins to sink, and the larger the difference value is, the faster the sinking speed is.
In the sinking process, the attitude angle sensor 110 continuously transmits the real-time motion attitude data of the sinking distance and the acceleration to the single chip microcomputer 120, the single chip microcomputer 120 adopts a PID (proportion integration differentiation) regulation algorithm to control the sinking speed, and the sinking speed is slower as the setting of a user is closer.
And floating, assuming that the current state of the hovering system is hovering 5 meters underwater, at the moment, a user sets the hovering system to hover 3 meters underwater, the lifting controller receives an external instruction through a 48KHz-78KHz low-frequency carrier wireless serial port, the single chip microcomputer 120 judges that the hovering system is floating according to the motion attitude data of the attitude angle sensor 110. The singlechip 120 controls the air discharge electromagnetic valve 160 to be closed, and opens the water electrolysis module to electrolyze water in the watertight bin 1 into hydrogen and oxygen. Along with the increase of the gas quantity in the watertight bin 1, the air pressure in the watertight bin 1 is increased, water in the watertight bin 1 is discharged from the water through hole 3 at the bottom, when the total buoyancy of the hovering system is larger than the self weight of the hovering system, the hovering system floats upwards, and the larger the difference value is, the faster the floating speed is.
In the floating process, the attitude angle sensor 110 continuously transmits the real-time movement attitude data of the floating distance and the acceleration to the singlechip 120, the singlechip 120 adopts a PID (proportion integration differentiation) regulation algorithm to control the floating speed, and the sinking speed is slower as the speed is closer to the setting of a user.
Hovering, when the attitude angle sensor 110 detects that the hovering system reaches the depth set by the user, the single chip microcomputer 120 adjusts the air pressure in the watertight bin 1 through the fine adjustment air bleed solenoid valve 160 and the water electrolysis module, changes the water level in the watertight bin 1, and controls the total buoyancy of the hovering system to be equal to the self weight to realize hovering. After the single chip microcomputer 120 determines that the hovering system is at the set hovering position, the air bleeding solenoid valve 160 of the energy consumption component and the water electrolysis module are both in the closed state, and the whole hovering system only works on the single chip microcomputer 120 and the attitude angle sensor 110, which is very low in power consumption.
The position is judged by detecting the air pressure in the watertight bin 1 and the reference air pressure when the equipment floats on the water surface, and the data of the three-dimensional angle, the three-dimensional acceleration, the three-dimensional angular velocity and the magnetic field are assisted to calculate and obtain the data of the underwater depth.
The invention indirectly adopts buoyancy as the power for the floating, sinking and hovering of the hovering system, and when the hovering system is in a hovering state, the power device for adjusting the buoyancy can be completely closed, thereby realizing the underwater hovering with zero power. The long-time duration is realized for the small underwater equipment to hover for a long time underwater.
According to the water electrolysis module, the inert metal electrodes 170 are adopted in the water electrolysis module, the H-bridge driving circuit 140 is adopted, so that the two inert metal electrodes 170 are always switched between the cathode electrode and the anode electrode continuously, hydrogen embrittlement dissolution caused by the fact that the metal anode electrode loses electrons all the time is avoided, and the service life of the electrodes is prolonged.
The buoyancy of the watertight bin 1 is changed by adopting the gas generated by the water electrolysis module, the water electrolysis module is small in size, the speed control of the gas generation is easy to realize, and the water electrolysis module is not provided with high-temperature and high-pressure components, so that the reliability of the whole system is improved, and the design and manufacturing difficulty of the hovering system is reduced.
