Abstract

An embedded bionic winch for sampling and exploration of a polar sub-glacial lake, including an actuating chamber, a power chamber, a transition chamber, a sensor chamber, a cable arranging chamber and a slip ring chamber, where the actuating chamber, the power chamber, the transition chamber, the sensor chamber, the cable arranging chamber and the slip ring chamber are arranged in sequence, and are coaxially connected; the power chamber provides a power for the winch, and realizes sealing of motors located therein under water with a certain depth; the transition chamber realizes a power transmission between the power chamber and the cable arranging chamber; the sensor chamber is used for mounting of a tension sensor; the cable arranging chamber realizes retraction and release of a cable through the precise cooperation of a drum and a lead screw, and the slip ring chamber contains a slip ring.
