An Underwater Driving Mechanism Moved inside

Article Preview

Abstract:

A variety of driving mechanisms are used on a large amount of equipment working underwater, and the driving mechanisms mostly rely on motor to work. But the seal of the motor working underwater is a thorny problem, especially in deep sea. Thus we propose a new concept of underwater drive mechanism. In the device, the motor and the shaft are sealed up overall by a watertight house. The rotation of the inside motor makes the whole sealed device to rotate through the internal toothed gears, which makes it true that the motor shaft realizes driving function by static seal. And this increases the reliability of the seal, eliminates the friction of motor shaft, and improves the mechanical efficiency. This paper introduces the building of this new underwater driving mechanism, and carries on the comprehensive analysis and its working performance to lay the foundation for its application.
