An electric robot provided herein is designed to operate in an underwater environment.
As shown in
In this embodiment, the circuit board 52 can monitor the voltage of the corresponding battery pack 51 in real time, such that the power supply battery pack 51 can be flexibly selected based on the voltage. Meanwhile, under the control of the circuit board 52, multiple battery packs 51 can independently supply power to the multi-battery-equipped robot simultaneously, or they can be connected in series to provide continuous power to the multi-battery-equipped robot.
Regarding the robot provided herein, multiple battery assemblies 5 are provided within the first slot 13, and each battery assembly 5 is provided with a corresponding circuit board 52, such that the voltage of individual battery packs 51 can be monitored in real time. The multiple battery packs 51 can be connected in series for power supply, or one or more battery packs 51 are selected to power the robot in parallel, effectively extending the operation time of the electric robot.
In some embodiments, the number of the battery assembly 5 is two.
Control modules, such as the control box 2, the driving motor 3, the suction motor 4 and the battery assemblies 5 are arranged at different locations within the casing assembly 1 and connected through detachable connections, such that any faulty component can be easily detached for repair, simplifying the operation and improving maintenance efficiency.
In some embodiments, the number of the driving motor 3 is two.
