Problems solved by technology

Existing underwater robots still exist: first, the sonar is mostly hidden in the robot body, which will block the sonar scanning signal, and there are many interference objects in the scanning image; second, the shape design resistance is large; third, most of the existing underwater robots use The tail is propelled by a single propeller, the propulsion is small, the navigation speed is slow, and the attitude control is difficult; the fourth is that the existing robot anti-bottom measures use bottom-scanning radar, which consumes a lot of power and makes image processing difficult

Embodiment 1

[0024] Embodiment 1: see figure 1 , figure 2 , a semi-submersible oil spill detection underwater autonomous robot, weighing 70KG, 180cm long, with a battery life of 100 hours and a maximum speed of 4 knots / second. It includes: pulse xenon lamp 1, side scanning sonar 2, front floating body 3, vertical thruster 4, control system 5, Beidou module 6, self-locking steering gear 7, rear floating body 8, pressure sensor 9, battery 10, ultrasonic sensor 11 , photomultiplier tube 12, light-transmitting plate 13, rear thruster 14, shroud 15.

[0025] The pulse xenon lamp 1 is used to send a pulse wave to the water area to be detected, and the pulse wave is reflected back after encountering a semi-submerged oil spill, and the photomultiplier tube 12 receives the pulse wave reflected back from the semi-submersible oil spill, and converts the received pulse wave The pulse wave is converted into an electrical signal and sent to the control system 5 .

[0026] The side-scanning sonar 2 i...

Abstract

The invention discloses a semi-shallow spilled oil detection autonomous underwater vehicle. According to the technical scheme, the semi-shallow spilled oil detection autonomous underwater vehicle comprises a pulse xenon lamp (1), lateral scanning sonar (2), a front end floating body (3), a vertical propeller (4), a control system (5), a Beidou module (6), a self-locking steering engine (7), a rear end floating body (8), a pressure sensor (9), a battery (10), ultrasonic sensors (11), a photoelectric multiplier (12), a light transmission board (13), a rear propeller (14) and a flow guide cover (15). Streamline water drop design is adopted for the appearance of the autonomous underwater vehicle, the lateral scanning sonar is arranged at the outer portion of a vehicle body, the double propellers capable of rotating by 360 degrees are adopted at the tail portion of the vehicle body, the multiple ultrasonic sensors are adopted at the bottom of the vehicle body, and the autonomous underwater vehicle has the beneficial effects that the water resistance is small, the running time is long, scanned images are clear, obstacles can be found rapidly, flexibility is high, the propelling force is large, control is convenient, the power consumption is small, the manufacturing cost is low, the hiding performance is good, and safety is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of marine environment protection, and in particular relates to an oil spill detection robot. Background technique [0002] Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is an ideal platform for measuring instruments. Due to the low noise radiation, it can be close to the object to be observed, so it can obtain high-quality data that cannot be obtained by conventional means. Coupled with low cost, good concealment, and high safety, underwater autonomous robots are gradually becoming an important means of ocean observation and detection. Existing underwater robots still exist: first, the sonar is mostly hidden in the robot body, which will block the sonar scanning signal, and there are many interference objects in the scanning image; second, the shape design resistance is large; third, most of the existing underwater robots use The tail is propelled by a single propeller, the propulsion is small, the navigation speed i...
