It should be noted that the GPS receiver 31 is mainly used for acquiring the position information of the underwater robot when the underwater robot moves on the water surface, and calibrating the self-positioning navigation data; mainly, according to data detected by the inertial navigation system 32 and the Doppler log 35, the speed, the course and the position of the underwater robot in the navigation coordinate system are calculated by adopting an accelerometer; the depth meter 33 is mainly used for detecting the depth data of the current underwater robot and transmitting the depth data to the main control module 60 through the communication interface conversion module 40 and the information interaction module 50; the ranging sonar 34 acquires distance information of the underwater robot from an obstacle in the advancing direction and transmits data to the main control module 60 for planning an obstacle avoidance path for the operation of the underwater robot.
As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment of the present invention, the communication interface conversion module 40 comprises a plurality of USR-K7 modules, wherein a first end of each USR-K7 module is connected to the underwater information acquisition module 30 or the onboard communication module 20, and a second end of each USR-K7 module is connected to the information interaction module 50.

Since the number of LAN ports of the WiFi router is limited, the number of LAN ports is expanded by the switch, so that more IP address requesting devices can be accessed. Taking the depth meter 33 as an example, after the serial port of the RS232 is converted into a network port by the communication interface conversion module 40, an IP address is requested to be allocated to the information interaction module 50, and the WiFi router in the information interaction module 50 selects an unallocated IP address from the IP address pool and allocates the unallocated IP address to the depth meter 33, because each allocated IP address is unique, the main control module 60 can acquire data measured by the depth meter 33 through the address.

Example two:
fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating steps of a control method of an underwater robot control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a control method for an underwater robot control system, where the control method based on the underwater robot control system includes the following steps:
s1, a shore-based monitoring module issues tasks and execution parameters to an underwater robot;
s2, the main control module receives the task, the timer is started, and the main control module executes the task after waiting for a certain time;
the steps in the process of executing the task by the main control module comprise:
s21, acquiring a running heading angle detected by the underwater robot through inertial navigation, a depth detected through a depth meter and data detected through the inertial navigation and a Doppler log by a main control module, and obtaining a forward speed through data fusion;
s22, if the forward speed does not need to be controlled, when the underwater robot runs on a horizontal plane, the execution module controls the third execution element to run according to a control instruction corresponding to a running heading angle in the main control module; when the underwater robot runs on a vertical plane, the execution module also controls the running of the second execution element according to a control instruction corresponding to the depth in the main control module, and the main control module acquires the running pose of the underwater robot after running;
s23, if the forward speed needs to be controlled and is less than the maximum running speed of the execution parameters, when the underwater robot runs on a horizontal plane, the execution module controls the third execution element to run according to a control instruction corresponding to the forward speed in the main control module; when the underwater robot runs on a vertical plane, the execution module also controls the running of the second execution element according to a control instruction corresponding to the depth in the main control module, and the main control module acquires the running pose of the underwater robot after running;
s24, if the operation pose of the underwater robot reaches the expected pose of the execution parameters, the task is executed; if the operation pose of the underwater robot does not reach the expected pose of the execution parameters, executing the step S2 again;
the execution parameters comprise the maximum running speed and the expected pose of the underwater robot, and the expected pose comprises the position and the heading angle of the underwater robot.
It should be noted that, in the first embodiment, the contents of the underwater robot control system have been described in detail, and are not described in this embodiment one by one.
In step S21 of the embodiment of the present invention, the master control module performs fusion processing on the speed detected by the inertial navigation and the speed detected by the doppler log to obtain the forward speed of the underwater robot, and the slave control submodule in the execution module controls the first execution element, the second execution element, and the third execution element to operate according to the forward speed.
It should be noted that the main control module obtains the forward speed of the underwater robot by comprehensively considering the actual performance of the third actuator and the limit of the obstacle to the speed value in the movement process. The forward speed of the underwater robot is obtained by data fusion of the speed measured by inertial navigation and the speed measured by a Doppler log. In the embodiment, a Kalman filtering algorithm is adopted to realize data fusion, so that the forward speed of the underwater robot is obtained by fusing data detected by an inertial navigation meter and a Doppler log, and the error of data detection by a single detection element is avoided, so that the forward speed of the underwater robot is inaccurate, and the accuracy of the data is improved. The kalman filter algorithm is a well-established algorithm, belongs to the prior art, and is not described in detail in this embodiment.
In step S22 and step S23 of the embodiment of the present invention, when the underwater robot is in a horizontal plane, the slave control submodule in the execution module generates two PWM pulse signals for controlling the rotation speed of two third execution elements according to the control command; when the underwater robot runs on a vertical plane, the control command received from the control submodule in the execution module generates a PWM pulse signal for controlling the two second execution elements to rotate.
It should be noted that the rotation of the third actuator completes the control of the underwater robot. And the rotation of the second execution element completes the depth adjustment control of the underwater robot.
