Claim 7:
8. A crawling method of the deep-sea crawling robot according to claim 1, comprising the following steps:
S1: when the crawling robot moves forward on a sea surface, hydraulic cylinders are adjusted to drive water storage frames to rotate in a horizontal direction, so that the two water storage frames gradually move to a horizontal position, which increases a contact area between the crawling robot body and the sea surface; at this point, propellers are parallel to the outer plate, and the propellers are activated to accelerate the forward movement of the crawling robot;
S2: during the descent of the crawling robot in the sea, the hydraulic cylinders drive the water storage frames to rotate in a vertical direction, gradually closing a gap between the two water storage frames; and during the closing process, the water storage frames are filled with a large amount of seawater, and the seawater inside the chamber formed by the docked water storage frames increases the weight of the crawling robot;
meanwhile, the propellers move to the tops of lifting rails, and a first drive motor is started to drive the propellers for angle adjustment, tilting the propellers towards a seabed direction;
S3: when the crawling robot crawls on the seabed, ground-contact moving rollers and mechanical legs make contact with the seabed, and ground-contact claws and embedded claws increase a frictional force during the movement of the crawling robot; and
S4: when the crawling robot works, the second drive motors are started to drive the turning frames to rotate, exposing the machinery inside the chamber of the countertop to seawater, and then the machinery starts working.
