Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, limited by traditional energy supply methods, the endurance of unmanned ships is far from meeting the needs of long-distance seawater sampling
Most of the existing water quality sampling unmanned ships are designed for small-scale waters such as inland rivers, lakes, and ports. The ships have small battery life (<10km), poor navigation performance, and cannot perform complex long-distance sea sampling operations. Further development of the human ship
When carrying out the overall design of traditional energy long-distance seawater sampling unmanned ships, there are complex phenomena of contradictions and multi-disciplinary coupling. In order to ensure the endurance of unmanned ships, it is necessary to increase energy sources such as increasing the number of lithium batteries or fuel storage. More hull layout space is required, which leads to an increase in the main dimensions of the hull, an increase in structural weight, and an increase in displacement, which in turn increases resistance, and increased resistance will lead to faster energy consumption, which is not conducive to the guarantee of endurance; even if the energy source is greater than the increase in energy consumption However, at this time, the hull weight and construction cost of the unmanned ship may be the same as that of a manned ship for manual collection, which violates the original intention of using unmanned ships for long-distance seawater sampling
The endurance of unmanned ships has become a technical bottleneck restricting the development of long-distance seawater sampling unmanned ships
[0006] In addition, the long-distance seawater sampling unmanned ship has a small displacement, is more sensitive to external disturbances such as wind, waves, and currents, and is prone to problems such as capsizing and yaw, and operates far away from the coast. Timely intervention will lead to property loss. Therefore, when designing an unmanned ship, it is necessary to consider the ship's stability, seakeeping, course stability, and self-righting ability. However, the existing unmanned ships for water quality sampling in small-scale inland waters often ignore this
Therefore, under the background that traditional battery technology or fuel engine technology is difficult to achieve revolutionary breakthroughs, research on the application of renewable energy in the design of long-endurance seawater sampling unmanned ships has excellent stability, seakeeping and heading stability. And the unmanned ship with self-righting ability has positive significance

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned catamaran having torpedo submerged bodies and driven by multiple renewable energy sources. The unmanned catamaran having the torpedo submerged bodies and driven bymultiple renewable energy sources comprises forward tilting sheet bodies, a watertight box type connecting bridge, wing type stabilizing uprights, the torpedo submerged bodies, a heaving power generation system, a solar power generation system, a propelling system and a control system; the two forward tilting sheet bodies are connected with each other through the watertight box type connecting bridge to form a portal structure; the two torpedo submerged bodies are arranged under the two forward tilting sheet bodies; each torpedo submerged body is connected with the forward tilting sheet body through at least two wing type stabilizing uprights which are arranged in a spaced manner; the wing type stabilizing uprights are of hollow structures with cross sections of NACA wing sections; the upper ends of the wing type stabilizing uprights are fixedly connected with the forward tilting sheet bodies; and the lower ends of the wing type stabilizing uprights are fixedly connected with the torpedo submerged bodies. The unmanned catamaran having the torpedo submerged bodies and driven by multiple renewable energy sources has the advantages of good course stability, long duration, stable overturning resistance and so on; and the unmanned catamaran having the torpedo submerged bodies and driven by multiple renewable energy sources also realizes a self-righting ability after being overturned.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned ships, in particular to a catamaran unmanned ship driven by multiple renewable energy sources with a torpedo-shaped submerged body. Background technique [0002] An unmanned ship is a new type of surface movement platform that navigates on the water surface autonomously or remotely and completes specific tasks under the remote monitoring of a base station on the ground or a mother ship control center. Even in the military field, unmanned ships play an important role. [0003] For a long time, manual collection has been the main means of offshore water quality sampling. Manual collection of offshore water quality in the usual sense means that sampling personnel arrive at designated sea areas by working ships and collect seawater samples with the help of sampling equipment. During the sampling process, personnel need to participate in the whole process on site, and the sampling cycle is long, whic...
