摘要: 介绍一种仿蝠鲼机器鱼上使用的软体胸鳍推进器,具有三维立体翼型并集成多个软体致动单元,具备更高形态及运动仿生度。分析提取了生物原型翼缘曲线并建立扑翼运动学模型,解耦描述胸鳍俯仰-摆转复合运动模式;对比了不同致动器数量的软体胸鳍运动特性与控制策略,并通过样机静态加载试验验证了有限元模型可靠性;基于格子-玻尔兹曼方法实现复杂曲面动态边界的流固耦合,在仿真环境中分析了单/多自由度软体胸鳍在不同工况下的扑翼推升力特性;数据对比表明多自由度胸鳍平均推力为单自由度的7.2倍,性能优势显著,为进一步水动力试验研究与机器鱼平台整合提供了数据预测与方向指导。

Abstract: A soft pectoral fin propeller used on a manta-like bionic robot fish is presented, which features three-dimensional profile with several multi-chamber pneumatic actuators integrated and can achieve higher form plus motion biomimetic performance. Based on motion features extracted from manta swimming analysis, a kinematic model is established to describe the oscillating-pitching coupled locomotion of the pectoral fin. Kinematic features and controlling strategies of the soft fin with different actuator amounts are evaluated by a finite element model with experimental verification. The Lattice-Boltzmann Method is introduced to solve the fluid-structure interaction problem of complex surface geometry and moving boundaries, for the purpose of analyzing the thrust and lift pattern of the fins with single or multiple motion DOFs in simulation environments. The advantage of multi-DOFs soft fin in propelling performance is proved by 7.2 times increase in average thrust compared to single-DOF fin, which offers an effective way to predict and guide hydrodynamic experiments as well as robotic fish platform integration in future research.

Key words: bionic robot fish, soft pectoral fin propeller, fin-flapping kinematic model, fluid-structure interaction
