A net cage inspection device and method based on an unmanned ship

Abstract

The invention discloses a net cage inspection device and method based on an unmanned ship, including an unmanned ship and a net cage management device. The unmanned ship includes a main controller, a communication station, monitoring equipment and driving equipment. The main controller is installed in the interior cabin of the unmanned ship, and is coupled with the communication station, monitoring equipment, and driving equipment respectively, and the main controller is connected to the signal receiver by communication; The detection device for monitoring is connected with the detection device in communication and is used for sending monitoring information to the signal receiver. The invention has the advantages of high safety, simple operation, convenient installation, low maintenance cost, good inspection effect, clear inspection thinking, realizes the supervision of breeding cages, and minimizes the risk of personnel and equipment damage.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic control of water area robots, in particular to an unmanned ship-based net cage inspection device and method thereof. [0002] technical background [0003] An unmanned ship is a fully automatic surface robot that can navigate on the water surface according to preset tasks and operate autonomously with the help of precise satellite positioning and control systems. With the development of national defense and civilian needs, more and more unmanned ships are operating and undertaking tasks in waters such as national defense sea areas, offshore aquaculture, and inland river environmental protection. In order to realize uninterrupted inspection of offshore or deep-sea aquaculture cages, it is necessary to introduce an unmanned ship system for auxiliary monitoring operations. [0004] The report "Visiting Sea Farmers Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Hot" pointed out that the use of cages to raise high economic va...

In bad weather, driving a manned ship to go out to sea for inspection will have a greater risk of causing casualties and damage to the ship

On November 4, 2015, Mr. Jiang, a farmer, was on his way to the cage breeding base accompanied by grade 3 wind and waves. The boat he was on was almost overturned by the big waves. When he arrived at the destination, he had poor sightlines and an unstable platform, so he could not complete the normal patrol. According to his introduction, once bad weather causes losses, the boat capsizes and people die, and the net cages do not know where to go, and eventually damages millions of funds.
