Embodiment Construction

[0015] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0016] The present application discloses an AUV underwater recovery device, which is used for the underwater recovery of the AUV by a deep-sea vehicle. The device mainly includes an AUV docking mechanism, a recovery frame, a hydraulic cylinder and a rotating mechanism. Please refer to figure 1 The structure diagram shown and figure 2 In the side view shown, the AUV docking mechanism includes a guide port 11 and a storage library 12. The two ends of the guide port 11 are open and have a funnel-shaped structure. Small narrow end. The reservoir 12 is a hollow tubular structure, and usually, both ends of the reservoir 12 are open, and the diameter of one open end of the reservoir 12 is equal to and connected to the narrow end of the guide opening 11 . The shape and diameter of the opening of the guide port 11 and the storage chamber 12 match...

Abstract

The invention discloses an underwater recovery device for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), and relates to the technical field of underwater engineering. The underwater recovery device is used for underwater recovery of the AUV through a deep-sea carrier and comprises an AUV butting mechanism, a recovery frame, a hydraulic cylinder and a rotating mechanism; the AUV butting mechanism comprises a guiding opening and a storage depot which are connected; a quadrilateral connecting rod structure is formed by the recovery frame and the storage depot; the hydraulic cylinder is arranged on the recovery frame to drive the movement of the AUV butting mechanism in the vertical direction; and the rotating mechanism is arranged between the recovery frame and the deep-sea carrier and drives the recovery device to rotate. The underwater recovery device utilizes the adjustability in the vertical direction and direction stability during transferring of a parallelogram frame and utilizes the direction adjustability of the rotating mechanism, thus it is ensured that the AUV can be in accurate butt joint with and smoothly recovered into the deep-sea carrier, and the underwater recovery device has the advantages that direction adjustability is good during butting and recovering, and the transferring mode is easy and convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of underwater engineering, in particular to an AUV underwater recovery device. Background technique [0002] The underwater deployment and recovery of AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) is a cutting-edge technology in the field of marine applications, especially for AUVs carried and deployed by deep-sea vehicles, which can effectively improve the ability of AUVs to continue to operate and concealment of work. At present, the methods of underwater recovery of AUVs used in deep-sea vehicles mainly include fixed cage docking, manipulator capture, etc., but there are shortcomings such as low docking success rate, complex mechanical structure, and poor adjustability of the docking mechanism, which seriously restricts the deployment of AUVs. with the safety and efficiency of recycling. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of the above problems and technical requirements, the present inventor proposes an...
