Described connecting portion comprises shell, be arranged on servomotor in described shell, the reel with two winding slots by described driven by servomotor, be wrapped in rope yarn in described winding slot, be fixedly installed on two wire columns of described enclosure, described wire column end is provided with through hole, described through hole center line is crossing with described reel center line, described rope yarn one end is wrapped on described reel, the other end of described rope yarn is fixed on described body tip by described through hole and body, and two rope yarns on described reel are around on the contrary.
In technique scheme, two connecting portion ports that are arranged on body both ends can engage mutually, and respectively have a capping in port two sides, and the assembling of being convenient to bearing block has kept the approximate circle cylinder of case surface simultaneously.
Further technical scheme, is equipped with four wire guides on described cavity ring medial surface, and described wire guide is arranged on described flexible connection point below.
Described rope yarn is through each described wire guide.
In technique scheme, shell inward flange is also provided with two bullports, the through hole of two wire columns is respectively just to two winding slots, and two rope yarns on winding slot are finally fixed in the cavity ring of least significant end through the wire guide in each cavity ring through each corresponding through hole, bullport respectively again.
Further technical scheme, described servomotor is by reel described in Worm Wheel System, and described reel is coaxially connected with described worm gear.
Further technical scheme, described shell is cylindrical.
Operation principle of the present invention, in module, be provided with body and two connecting portions, in connecting portion, be provided with servomotor and reel, servomotor drives reel rotation, due to two rope yarns on reel around on the contrary, in the time that reel rotates, a rope yarn is strained another rope yarn and is loosened, and can make body draw deflection in to a side of rope yarn tension; And in module, be provided with two connecting portions, and in body, be altogether evenly equipped with 4 rope yarns, can make the multi-direction deflection twisting of body by servomotor to the control of reel.
Because technique scheme is used, the present invention compared with prior art has following advantages:
1, the present invention itself can twist in multi-direction deflection, and flexibility is very strong;
2, entirety of the present invention is cylindrical, and in the time of underwater exercise, current are less to its resistance, can move more flexibly;
3, the present invention drives reel to rotate by servomotor, controls more accurately, makes the deflection of body more flexible by control.
