The utility model discloses a two manipulators underwater robot sets up between roof and the bottom plate and puts the thing basket for place and grab the thing, put the thing basket and place in advancing direction's both sides, and be in the centre of fore-and-aft direction, put and be equipped with first propeller around the thing basket, with the cooperation of second propeller, realize two manipulators underwater robot's nimble motion. First propeller is located and is put the front and back of thing basket, make full use of the space between roof and the bottom plate, avoid first propeller to receive injuries such as collision under water, simultaneously, make things convenient for the installation of first propeller. When the first propeller works, water flow can be flushed to the storage basket, and the storage basket is provided with a plurality of hollowed holes. Be equipped with the manipulator before putting the thing basket, in this embodiment, the manipulator sets up two, sets up respectively before the thing basket of putting of both sides, and two manipulators can work respectively and do not influence each other, and two manipulators simultaneous workings have improved the work efficiency who snatchs under water. The utility model discloses a to the design of robot structure, realized two manipulator simultaneous workings, place to the thing basket of putting of difference respectively and grab the thing, avoided mutual interference.

The battery is arranged between the two object placing baskets, the weight of the battery is large, the battery is positioned in the middle position above the bottom plate, the gravity center of the robot can be reduced, the influence of water flow is served to the greatest extent, and the navigation stability is improved. The battery is arranged in the power supply cabin, and the power supply cabin adopts the design of high-light aluminum alloy, and is anticorrosive effectual, and compressive capacity is strong, can bear the high pressure of 200 meters in depth of water. The power supply cabin top is equipped with the control cabin, and the intermediate position on the roof is located to the control cabin, is equipped with power module, raspberry group, TX2, flies the accuse board, electric power cat and switch in the control cabin for accomplish the autonomous control to the robot in coordination, including cruising, detecting, discernment and snatching the function. An underwater camera is arranged on the body, a lightweight Yolov4 recognition algorithm is embedded into the TX2, and the marine products can be accurately detected in real time by combining the underwater camera.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the manipulator 2 includes a first steering gear 21, a second steering gear 22, a connecting arm 23, a first finger 24 and a second finger 25, the first steering gear 21 is fixed on the body 1, one end of the connecting arm 23 is connected with the first steering gear 21, the other end of the connecting arm is provided with the second steering gear 22, the second steering gear 22 drives the first finger 24, and one end of the first finger 24 is engaged with one end of the second finger 25 through a gear.

The connecting arm 2 is an arc-shaped structure body, so that when the manipulator picks up underwater articles, the manipulator moves and interferes with the body, and the grabbed articles can be accurately put into the article basket. The first steering engine 21 is used for completing the releasing action of the manipulator, and the second steering engine 22 is used for completing the grabbing action of the manipulator.

In this embodiment, the manipulator 2 further includes an adjusting block 26 and an adjusting plate 27 fixed on the adjusting block 26, the adjusting block 26 is hinged to the other end of the connecting arm 23, the second steering engine 22 is fixed on the adjusting plate 27, a limiting column 28 is arranged on the connecting arm 23, and the limiting column 28 is used for limiting the rotation angle of the adjusting block 26.

The underwater environment is complex, the water bottom is uneven, and the positions of underwater grabbed objects such as aquatic products are various. In order to realize better snatching, adjusting block 26 articulates in the one end of linking arm 23 to adjust suitable rotational damping, make the manipulator under the drive of first steering wheel 21, when rotating to the bottom, guarantee that the finger part of manipulator can be the biggest paste and lean on at the bottom, snatch through second steering wheel 22 at this moment, can promote the success rate of snatching greatly. Because the rotation of adjusting block is not by steering wheel direct drive, so in order to avoid adjusting block turned angle too big, set up spacing post 28 on linking arm 23, the turned range of control adjusting block.

The first finger 24 and the second finger 25 in this embodiment are serrated, and are not likely to fall off after gripping an object. The first finger 24 comprises a first connecting portion 241 and a first finger body 242, the second finger 25 comprises a second connecting portion 251 and a second finger body 252, the first connecting portion 241 is in transmission connection with the second steering engine 22, one end of the first connecting portion 241 is meshed with one end of the second connecting portion 251 through a gear, the first finger body 242 is arranged at the other end of the first connecting portion 241, the second finger body 252 is arranged at the other end of the second connecting portion 251, the first finger body 242 and the second finger body 252 are perpendicular to a rotating shaft of the first connecting portion 241, and a projection of the first finger body 241 on the rotating shaft of the first connecting portion and a projection of the second finger body 252 on the rotating shaft of the first connecting portion 241 are staggered with each other.

In this embodiment, a plurality of first fingers 242 are connected to the first connecting portion 241, the first fingers 242 are arranged in parallel, and when the first finger and the second finger are put together, the first finger 242 and the second finger 252 intersect with each other. When the object is grabbed, the stability of grabbing is further improved due to the mutually crossed structure.

As shown in fig. 5, the basket 3 in this embodiment has a concave front face and a concave rear face, both of which face the robot 2. The object placing basket is provided with a plurality of hollowed holes, so that the resistance of the robot during underwater activity is reduced. Put preceding concave surface and the back concave surface of thing basket 3 and make and put the thing basket and be not the barrel that link up vertically from top to bottom, two concave surfaces have avoided grabbing to get the thing from putting the thing basket because the impact of rivers or the motion of robot and cause drop or lose, do not influence the manipulator simultaneously and directly grab the thing to putting in of thing basket.

As shown in fig. 6, the bottom plate 12 has an outlet, the outlet is communicated with the article basket 3, the outlet is provided with a sliding groove, an article placing plate 31 is arranged in the sliding groove, and the article placing plate 31 can move towards two sides of the body 1 along the sliding groove.

Be equipped with pressure sensor on the thing board 31, the quantity of grabbing thing in the response thing basket of putting avoids putting under the basket overflow state, the invalid operation of robot. When the grabbed objects need to be removed, the object placing plates 31 are only needed to be pulled to two sides, the grabbed objects fall off, and the heavy underwater robot is prevented from being overturned.
