Vane wheel type snake-like robot

Abstract

The invention discloses a vane wheel type snake-like robot, which comprises vane wheels, machine bodies, a universal joint and motors, wherein two machine bodies are connected with each other through the universal joint; a plurality of the machine bodies are connected in series to form a snake body of the robot; two horizontal sides in each machine body are provided with a motor respectively; two sides of each machine body are provided with a vane wheel respectively; and the motors are in transmission connection with the vane wheels. The vane wheel type snake-like robot has the advantages of strong obstacle passing capacity, strong landform adaptability and simple structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot technology, in particular to a blade wheel type snake robot. Background technique [0002] Since 2000, bionic robotics is occupying an increasingly important position in the field of robotics, and snake-like robots are a branch of bionic robots that have emerged in recent years. Snake robot is a kind of bionic robot developed by imitating the movement mechanism and behavior of snake. Snake robot has broad application prospects in many fields. [0003] Snake robots are suitable for moving in narrow spaces, long and narrow pipes and various grounds due to their own shape and movement characteristics. It can enter the interior of buildings collapsed by disasters such as earthquakes or fires, as well as fields such as atomic reactors and petrochemicals. It can perform search and detection and maintenance tasks in dangerous places where people cannot get involved, such as inside the device, which not only makes people safer...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] The advantage of the first type of snake-shaped robot is that it can realize snake-like motion on a flat ground, and can also realize rolling action, wrapping around a column and winding up, wearing a coat and swimming in water, etc.; the disadvantage is that most of them can only achieve two-dimensional One-dimensional movement, but can not achieve functions such as overcoming obstacles, the ability to adapt to natural environment movement is not strong and the control is complicated

[0009] The advantage of the second type of snake-like robot is that it has a strong ability to overcome obstacles and is easy to control, but it is difficult to realize certain actions of the first type of snake-like robot.
