Long-distance autonomous wave glider without power consumption

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of wave gliders, and aims to provide a long-distance autonomous wave glider without power consumption. The long-distance autonomous wave glider without power consumption comprises a floating body, flexible cables and a power device, wherein the floating body comprises a floating body connecting plate, a first buoy sealing cylinder, a second buoy sealing cylinder, a GPS (Global Positioning System), a single chip microcomputer, a solar cell panel, an accumulator cell and a controller; the power device comprises a side plate, a fixed screw rod, wing pieces, a stepper motor and a rubber piece; two flexible cables, consisting of a first flexible cable and a second flexible cable, are arranged; the first buoy sealing cylinder is connected with the side plate at the corresponding side of the power device through the first flexible cable; the second buoy sealing cylinder is connected with the side plate at the corresponding side of the power device through the second flexible cable. According to the long-distance autonomous wave glider without the power consumption, the whole glider is driven forward through interaction force between the wing pieces of the wave glider and water flow; electric energy produced by the solar cell panel is only used for regulating the turning of the wave glider, so that the cruising ability of the glider is strong.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wave glider, in particular to a wave glider capable of long-distance autonomous navigation without energy consumption. Background technique [0002] The wave glider is a kind of floating body that floats up and down with the waves to drive the inclined wing on the lower power unit to move up and down. Through the interaction between the water flow and the wing, the impact force of the water flow is converted into a horizontal driving force. A new type of shallow sea propulsion platform for autonomous navigation without energy consumption. Widely used in marine water quality testing, shallow resource exploration, marine meteorological monitoring and other fields. Traditional underwater gliders are mainly powered by onboard batteries, which have limited battery energy and insufficient battery life, which largely limits their long-distance and large-scale detection capabilities. As important strategic military and r...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Traditional underwater gliders are mainly powered by onboard batteries. The battery energy is limited and the battery life is insufficient, which largely limits its long-distance and large-scale detection capabilities.

However, the export of the same type of glider that exists abroad is an important strategic military and resource material, and its export is greatly restricted, so it cannot be directly purchased in our country.

[0003] However, the existing general-purpose wave gliders at home and abroad all adopt a bird-shaped structure with a main board in the middle and 12 wing plates on both sides. The balance stability of the structure, the water receiving area of ​​the wing plates, and the speed of movement are not ideal enough.
