Embodiment Construction

[0039] The problem of shape design and surface treatment technology to increase the surface tension of the water surface of the filamentous leg is solved. The design and integration of light-weight, small-sized electric, cable-less robot system is realized. Finally invented a water-floating robot that can bionic water strider and can be used for related robotics and theoretical research and experiments.

[0040] The technical solutions of the present invention are: 1. Paulownia slices are used to make a rectangular body; 2. 8 supporting legs and 2 driving legs are bent with stainless steel wire, and the legs are sprayed and dried on the surface with a hydrophobic agent 3. Front and rear of the body Fix 4 support legs each; 4, 2.54 specification pin headers are used as power switches, and a silver oxide battery drives a DC motor; 5. The plastic tube or copper wire ring fixed on the body is the gear shaft sleeve, and the carbon fiber rod is the gear shaft. Use three-stage gear reduc...

Abstract

The present invention belongs to the field of water floating robot technology, and features that the water floating robot has 6-8 supporting legs and the legs in filament structure are surface treated with water repellent and battery and three level gear mechanism driven to row on the water surface to move. The water floating robot has the advantages of light weight, small size and great loading capacity.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a water robot, and particularly relates to the technical field of a bionic water strider robot. Background technique [0002] The principle that organisms and mechanical devices use surface tension to float on the water is known. For example, the article (Gao Xuefeng, Jiang Lei, Biophysics Water repellent legs of water striders, Nature, Vol. 432, 4 Nov. 2004, 36) pointed out that water strider legs The microstructure of the bristles can generate great buoyancy and achieve standing on the water surface. Scientific toy flying on water (country: China, publication number: CN85204519, publication date: 1987.11.07) has realized the technology of floating simple toys on the surface of water relying on the surface tension of water. But the part in contact with the water surface is not leg-shaped and cannot be bionic. There is also no electric drive system, simple structure and simple performance. It cannot be used for research and experime...
