Underwater docking device used between underwater manned vehicles

Abstract

An underwater docking device used between underwater manned vehicles comprises an upper unit and a lower unit, wherein the upper unit and the lower unit are respectively arranged on the two underwater manned vehicles to be docked; the upper unit and the lower unit each comprise a hollow shell; the two hollow shells are respectively in communication with compressive cabins of the two underwater manned vehicles via opening and closing doors; the interiors of the two hollow shells communicate with each other after the two hollow shells are closed; clamping columns are arranged on two sides of the end, used for docking, of the upper unit; fork frames and locking rings are arranged on two sides of the end, used for docking, of the lower unit; the fork frames are positioned between the locking rings and the hollow shell of the lower unit; the locking rings can be supported on vertical hydraulic cylinders in a vertically turnover manner; through the turnover of the locking rings, the locking rings can sleeve the clamping columns or be separated from the clamping columns; when the locking rings sleeve the clamping columns, the clamping columns are locked through up-and-down clamping of the locking rings and the fork frames; the upper unit comprises a pipeline for supplying gas to the hollow shell; and the lower unit comprises a pipeline for supplying seawater to the hollow shell and draining the seawater in the hollow shell. The underwater docking device used between the underwater manned vehicles can safely and reliably finish underwater docking between the underwater manned vehicles.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of underwater operation devices, in particular to an underwater docking device applied to underwater unmanned navigation. Background technique [0002] With the professionalization and large-scale development of underwater manned vehicles, especially the construction and use of long-term, large-load, and special-purpose mobile work platforms, the concept of underwater docking between different underwater vehicles for personnel and material transfer has been proposed. need. The transfer of personnel and materials through underwater docking will enable the exchange of underwater personnel between aircraft, optimal allocation of resources, and energy supply. Since manned vehicles are different from underwater unmanned vehicles and underwater submersibles, the existing docking methods between underwater unmanned vehicles, remotely controlled submersibles, etc., and underwater platforms are not suitable for diff...
