specific Embodiment approach 1

[0010] Embodiment 1: Shape memory alloy wire (SMA wire) is a kind of smart material, which exhibits a thermoelastic martensitic change, that is, they are flexible below a certain transition temperature, because they are in the martensitic state. Bulk phase, which can be easily deformed. When its temperature is raised above the transformation temperature, the material reverts to its austenitic phase and previous shape, and thus generates greater force. Similarly, when the shape memory alloy wire is in the martensitic phase, it can easily stretch along its axial direction and maintain the stretched state. When it is heated above the transformation temperature, it will return to the state before stretching along its axial direction, that is, shrinkage recovery. , and generate a larger force.

[0011] The present invention utilizes the contraction effect of the shape memory alloy wire to work, and the specific structure is as follows: the body wave driven by the shape memory allo...

specific Embodiment approach 2

[0014] Specific implementation mode two: biologists simply classify the swimming patterns of fish according to the shape of the fish itself, the length of the caudal fin propulsion structure and the power of swing, which can be divided into three types (refer to figure 2 ):

[0015] a. Anguilliform: (eel-like) to swim by undulation of the muscles of the whole body, like an eel;

[0016] b. Carangiform: Swimming by swinging the caudal fin and the body connected to the tail, like salmon, tuna, sailfish;

[0017] c.Ostraciifrom: Swimming only by the swing of the caudal fin without body swing.

[0018] In actual use, various types of swimming modes can be simulated by changing the length ratio between the elastic piece 5 and the rigid fish head 1 and by increasing or decreasing the number of swing joints of the elastic piece. The bionic fish described in this embodiment refers to bionic Anguilliform swimming, that is, a smaller rigid fish head 1 and a longer caudal fin propulsi...

specific Embodiment approach 3

[0019] Specific embodiment three: This embodiment is a bionic Carangiform-style swimming robot fish with two swing joints. For specific structures, see Figure 4 , its propulsion method see Figure 5 The timing diagram of the joint swing action is shown, the previous joint is used for steering, and the latter joint is used for propulsion. Figure 5 The action state in the timing diagram shown: a is the initial state; b and c are a group, which is the swimming state when the bionic fish turns to the side; d and e are a group, which is the swimming state when the bionic fish turns to the side. dynamic state.

Abstract

The bionic machine fish with shape memory alloy wire for swinging forward is one kind of robot. The bionic machine fish includes one rigid head, and one propelling tail fin mechanism comprising one tail and at least one swinging joint. Each of the swinging joint includes one elastic sheet, shape memory alloy wires fixed on two sides of the elastic sheet, and one elastic covering. Two adjacent swinging joints are connected through a base plate, and so do the rigid head and the first swinging joint. The present invention has the advantages one small size, simple structure, good bionic effect, no noise and convenient operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a robot. Background technique [0002] The bionic robot fish refers to the propulsion mechanism of fish swimming, and uses machinery, electronic components or intelligent materials to realize the underwater propulsion function. The wide application of bionic fish in marine exploration, pipeline detection, military and entertainment has made its research more and more in-depth, and the characteristics of some intelligent materials (such as shape memory alloys) have made it possible to develop high simulation, low Noise-based bionic fish offers a new way of thinking. [0003] According to the physiological parts and propulsion principles on which fish swim, fish can be divided into two categories: BCF and MPF, BCF—caudal fin (body and / or caudal fin), this type of fish mainly relies on the body MPF—median and / or paired fin (median and / or paired fin), these fish rely on the pelvic fin in the middle of the body to swim. ...
