An automatic locking and unlocking mechanism for deployment and recovery of underwater towed bodies

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic locking and unlocking mechanism applied to laying and recovering underwater towing bodies. The locking insertion rod is inserted on the slide mechanism, the locking insertion rod is provided with a baffle plate, the locking mechanism installation block and The baffles are all located inside the sliding table mechanism, and the locking mechanism mounting block is inserted into one end of the locking insertion rod; the other end of the locking insertion rod is located outside the sliding table mechanism, connected with one end of the connecting rod, and locked on the locking insertion rod. There is a spring, and the two ends of the spring are in contact with the baffle plate and the inner wall of the sliding table mechanism respectively; the stop rod can be set on the other end of the connecting rod in a relatively rotatable manner, and the connecting rod is axially linked through the mounting nut; the stopper It is installed on the deck of the surface warship and is located on the track where the stop bar moves with the slide mechanism, and the thickness of the block increases along the deployment direction. The invention can realize automatic locking and unlocking of the underwater towing body in an unmanned operation environment, can ensure the safety in the process of transporting, deploying, and recovering the underwater towing body, and plays a role of limiting the position of the carrier.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to underwater retractable equipment, in particular to an automatic locking and unlocking mechanism for deploying and recovering underwater towing bodies. Background technique [0002] The underwater towed body has a very wide range of applications on surface ships, and it can realize terrain mapping, underwater target detection, underwater object search, resource exploration and other fields. At present, the underwater towing body mainly relies on large military and civilian ships, and the cost of human resources and equipment is very high, which greatly restricts the application of the underwater towing body. Due to the harsh environment at sea and the ever-changing sea conditions, it is very difficult to realize unmanned underwater towing body unmanned retraction and towing operations. [0003] The limit problem of the underwater towed body in the process of recovery or deployment has always been the key to the operation proces...
