Embodiment Construction

[0018] like Figure 1 to Figure 7 As shown, the docking device of the autonomous underwater vehicle and the seabed observation network of the present invention includes two parts of the autonomous underwater vehicle and the docking device: a saddle-shaped base 5, a guide rail 10 provided on a slope, and an installation on the autonomous underwater vehicle. (AUV) The armature 15 on the support frame 7, the buoyancy material 2 is located on the upper part of the AUV, and is used to balance the gravity of the device. Electronic devices are placed in the sealed compartment 11, such as temperature and humidity sensors, depth sensors, gyroscopes, etc., and the rear sealed compartment 8 is equipped with power supply and wireless charging and data transmission devices. The corresponding head of the front airtight compartment is equipped with a wind deflector 3 and a camera 13 on the reinforcing plate 12 in the wind deflector. The lower part of the AUV is a groove with a concave cross...

Abstract

The present invention discloses an autonomous underwater vehicle and a docking device thereof. The autonomous underwater vehicle is powered by two horizontal propellers and a vertical pusher propeller, the upper portion of the autonomous underwater vehicle is provided with a buoyant material to provide upward buoyant to save energy, the middle portion of the autonomous underwater vehicle is provided with a front sealed cabin and a rear sealed cabin, the front sealed cabin is used for placing a probe and an electronic device for control, the rear sealed cabin is used for placing a power supply, a flow guide cover is arranged on the front end, two trapezoidally-placed support frames are arranged on the lower part. A docking station main body is in the form of a saddle, two slopes are extended from both sides, and an electromagnet is arranged in a docking station. In the application, the autonomous underwater vehicle drives into the docking station from the longitudinal direction, and is guided and limited by the two slopes, and when the autonomous underwater vehicle is stable, the autonomous underwater vehicle can be fixed by the electromagnet to achieve power and data signal transmitting between the autonomous underwater vehicle and a seafloor observatory network. The autonomous underwater vehicle can sustainably work and has a simple structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an autonomous underwater vehicle and a seabed observation network signal and a docking device for signal transmission, belonging to the field of autonomous underwater vehicles. Background technique [0002] The ocean contains abundant resources and plays a vital role in the development of human beings. With its flexible maneuverability, autonomous underwater vehicles can detect a wide range of sea areas. However, with the continuous expansion of the marine resource development area to the deep sea and the open sea, and the ever-changing form of national coastal defense, in order to meet the application requirements, higher requirements are put forward for the AUV's underwater operation time, operation content and endurance. Since the autonomous underwater vehicle does not have a cable, it can only carry a certain amount of energy, and the underwater activity time is greatly limited. The traditional way is to supplement energy...
