1results about How to "Improve sailing stability" patented technology

This application relates to the technical field of unmanned surface vessels (USVs), and in particular to a semi-submersible USV, comprising a hull, ballast assembly, and control assembly. The hull includes a base and a canopy, with the canopy fixedly connected to the top of the base. An underwater propulsion unit is mounted at the stern of the base, and a submersible propulsion unit is mounted at the stern of the canopy. The ballast assembly includes a ballast tank and a pumping unit. The ballast tank is mounted on the base, and one end of the pumping unit communicates with the ballast tank, while the other end communicates with the bottom of the base. The control assembly includes a battery, a control unit, and a communication unit. The battery and control unit are mounted inside the base, and the communication unit is fixedly connected to the top of the canopy. The battery and control unit are electrically connected, and the control unit and communication unit are also electrically connected. In calm sea conditions, the hull floats, and the submersible propulsion unit drives the hull, significantly reducing drag during movement. This application effectively reduces energy consumption during navigation.
