Revolving-ring underwater glider

Abstract

The invention relates to a revolving-ring underwater glider which comprises a machine body and an internal platform mounting structure, wherein a comprehensive control mechanism, a control communication and power system, a revolving wing system and a measurement sensor are mounted in the machine body. The revolving-ring underwater glider is compact and reasonable in structure and convenient to operate; by integration of net buoyance and a gravity center adjustment mechanism into a comprehensive attitude adjustment mechanism, the internal load-bearing space and the system weight are effectively reduced, and the effective load can be increased by about 80 percent, which accounts for 10 to 20 percent of the total load; by the design of revolving wings, the lift-drag ratio of the glider can be effectively increased, and the gliding efficiency can be improved; meanwhile, the glider has steering capacity and the capacity of moving on a horizontal plane; and the maneuverability and the flexibility of the glider are effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of marine monitoring equipment, in particular to a rotary wing underwater glider capable of moving in the horizontal and vertical planes by means of a rotary wing and a comprehensive attitude adjustment mechanism, which is a continuous monitoring of the marine environment and data collection in time and space. system. Background technique [0002] At present, various technical means used for marine resource investigation and exploration and marine water quality environmental investigation, monitoring and data collection have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example: buoys can monitor the marine environment in a large area, but they have no power source, and their observation areas and routes are not controlled; autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) can monitor the marine environment in any area, but they carry limited energy and short operating cycles ; The energy supply of long-distance remote c...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1) The two main adjustment mechanisms of buoyancy and center of gravity occupy most of the effective space of the glider, making the effective load of the glider relatively low, only 6% to 10% of the total weight;

[0005] 2) The lift-to-drag ratio of the glider is the key factor determining the gliding efficiency. The wings of the existing glider are all fixed designs, and the lift-to-drag ratio is difficult to change and improve, and the gliding efficiency is difficult to improve;

[0006] 3) It can only move forward along a zigzag curve in a vertical plane in one direction, does not have horizontal plane movement ability and autonomous steering ability, and has relatively poor maneuverability
