AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technology allows for efficient movement through waves or underwater environments with small obstacles like rocks. It achieves this by driving multiple pairs of rotating blinds called claw wheels together along rails on both sides. These bladders have pin-like ends attached at one end but they cannot be opened fully after being compressed due to their weight. They also allow airflow between them while still allowing fluid flow around it. When these bladdings start moving forward, there's less drag compared to traditional methods such as propellers. To move backward, another set of roller bearings helps lift up more space than usual without adding extra parts. Additionally, an automatic sea level judging device has been developed which monitors changes over time caused by tidal fluctuations and provides feedback about how well the boat floats.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patent relates to improving autonomously operated robots that use hydraulic or pneumatic power sources while also being able to move freely without getting stuck due to their lacking flexibility. Additionally, these machines are limited because they require batteries at all times during operation, making them difficult to deploy over longer distances.

Abstract

The invention aims at providing a jellyfish-type bio-robot. The jellyfish-type bio-robot comprises a movement system and a tide direction judgment system. The movement system comprises a power source, a large-torque gear motor, a crank sliding rod mechanism, a jellyfish-type propeller framework, jellyfish-type propeller blades, a front-arrangement water tank, a steering engine, a steering rod and a rudder. The tide direction judgment system comprises a single-chip microcomputer, a GPS, a water inlet cabin, a cabin door, a guide pipe, a power generation cabin, an impeller, a power generator and a water drainage part. By means of the jellyfish-type bio-robot propelled based on tides, automatic judging can be carried out, distance propelling can be carried out through the tides, and the working range is greatly expanded; a jellyfish-type propeller is driven by the large-torque gear motor, noise is small, the hidden performance is good, and disturbance in marine animals such as fishes is small.
