Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of AUV recovery, in particular to a separable floating body device for AUV recovery. Background technique
[0002] AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) is usually equipped with throwable ballast. When an accident occurs or the mission is over, AUV will throw away the ballast to obtain greater positive buoyancy and surface.
[0003] In normal work, the AUV needs to be recovered after completing its mission, but due to the influence of wind and waves, it is often very difficult to recover the AUV, which has great risks and is likely to cause injury to personnel and equipment. The most difficult thing in the AUV recovery process is to capture and tow the AUV from the mother ship. In order to ensure the safety of the equipment, the mother ship cannot be too close to the AUV. The traditional approach is to release the dinghy from the mother ship, close to the AUV on the water, and the personnel on the dinghy manually hook ...
