This invention relates to the field of
marine engineering technology, specifically to a device and control method for automatic locking and releasing of a ship. The device includes a ship end and a
shore end. The ship end includes a hook, a push rod, a charging module, a communication module, and a control module. The
shore end includes a crossbar and a
discharge module. A positioning connection is established between the
shore end and the ship end via a positioning module. The charging module has a
voltage boosting function, converting the low-
voltage electricity transmitted through the hook into high-
voltage electricity to charge the ship end's
power battery. The positioning module includes a
satellite positioning device and an acoustic positioning device, enabling
absolute positioning of the ship end and relative positioning with respect to the shore end. The communication module enables communication between the ship end and the shore end to obtain the shore end's position. In operation, this automatic locking and releasing device can achieve automatic locking and charging functions at the ship end, combining these two functions into one, ensuring reliable contact between the ship and shore
metal contacts.
