Technical Field

Background
Nowadays, as the development of marine resources such as oil and gas extends from offshore to deep sea, underwater robots are important tools for the development of marine resources. The underwater operation is the necessary function of the underwater robot, and the underwater mechanical gripper which is the main carrier of the underwater operation function is a necessary device of each underwater robot.
Currently, the gripper of the underwater machine mainly adopts three driving modes: hydraulic driving; pneumatic drive and electric drive. The hydraulic manipulator is composed of a hydraulic motor, a servo valve, an oil pump, an oil tank and the like to form a driving system, a hydraulic oil cylinder drives a manipulator actuating mechanism to work, and the hydraulic manipulator generally has great grabbing and lifting capacity. The hydraulic drive type mechanical gripper has the main characteristics of large grabbing and lifting force, but the hydraulic drive type mechanical gripper has a complex drive system and has higher manufacturing precision and sealing requirements on hydraulic elements; the pneumatic manipulator is generally composed of a cylinder, an air valve, an air tank and an air compressor, and is characterized by convenient air source, rapid action, simple structure, low cost and convenient maintenance. However, the gas compressibility is high, speed and position control is difficult, the gas pressure cannot be too high, and the grabbing capacity is relatively low.
Compared with a hydraulic drive type manipulator paw and a pneumatic drive type manipulator paw, the electric type manipulator paw is small in size, stable in movement, compact in structure, high in precision and simple in system composition. The driving motor generally adopts a stepping motor and a direct current servo motor, and a speed reducing mechanism is usually needed due to the high speed of the motor. The electrodynamic type manipulator is applicable to the occasions that clamping force is little, working space is limited, need accurate control.
The power transmission mode of the manipulator paw at present is usually a paw opening and closing movement structure driven by piston linear motion, and the structure is complex and low in efficiency and is easy to block in work. This mechanical gripper passes through the transmission of worm gear mechanism, directly converts the rotary motion of motor into the motion of driving mechanical gripper open and shut, and application worm gear structural design transmits power interlocking through the intermeshing between the gear, and the gripper structure is compacter, operates more steadily, control accuracy is higher.
The worm gear mechanical hand claw adopts a parallelogram connecting rod structure, two claws move in parallel to open and close when working, and the sawtooth structure inside the claw increases the friction force between the claw and an object, so that the worm gear mechanical hand claw can be used under the condition of large underwater load pressure.
The existing (hydraulic/pneumatic)/common manipulator mainly has the following defects:
1. the hydraulic drive type manipulator paw is supported by a whole set of hydraulic drive system, and the hydraulic drive system is complex in structure, difficult to install and carry and incapable of being applied to the situation without a matched hydraulic system.
2. The speed and the position of the pneumatic driving type mechanical hand claw are difficult to control, and the air pressure cannot be too high
3. The manipulator paw structure used in the market is easy to be blocked, and the clamping force is relatively low.
4. The transmission of the common mechanical transmission system is small, and the structure is complex.
