Problems solved by technology

[0002] Underwater robots are an important tool for exploring the ocean. Cabled underwater robots (ROV) have strong maneuverability and underwater operation capabilities (for example, they can operate high-pressure water pumps to clean oil platforms). It is provided by a cable, so there is no need to consider the issue of endurance, but it needs to be operated by personnel, and because the length of the cable is limited, the range of movement of this robot is small, and the untethered underwater vehicle (AUV) can cruise autonomously underwater, but because of its The energy comes from the battery you carry, the battery life needs to be considered, and its working ability is weak

Embodiment Construction

[0025] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] A multifunctional suspended underwater robot and its base station system, its structure is as follows Figure 1~5 shown. The system includes a base station connected to the seabed observation network and a suspended underwater robot; the base station includes a support 1, a winch 2 arranged on the support, an electromagnet A5, a visual target 6 and a plug suction seat 9; the visual target 6 is used to guide the underwater robot; the electromagnet A5 is used to fix the underwater robot; the plug suction seat 9 is fixed with a non-contact plug 7 by magnetic force; when the plug suction seat 9 is energized, the non-contact plug 7 The plug 7 is fixed; when the plug suction seat 9 is disconnected, the non-contact plug 7 is in a free state; the winch is provided with a cable 8, and one end of the cable 8 is connected to the non-cont...

Abstract

The invention discloses a multifunctional suspended underwater robot and its base station system. The system includes a base station connected to a seabed observation network and a suspended underwater robot. The multi-functional suspended underwater robot of the present invention can not only cruise autonomously in a cable-free state, but also can be connected to a base station system to realize remote control. The base station system is generally connected to the submarine observation network. Therefore, when the underwater robot is docked to the base station, the operator can remotely control the underwater robot on the shore to work near the junction box of the submarine observation network. The multifunctional suspended underwater robot and its base station system of the present invention combine the advantages of AUV's large range of motion and autonomous navigation, and the characteristics of ROV's flexible manual operation and strong working ability, and its application range is wider than that of simple ROV or AUV. Wide; and the power supply mode is flexible, it can be powered by a wirelessly rechargeable battery like an AUV, or it can be directly powered by a cable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an underwater robot, in particular to a multifunctional suspended underwater robot and a base station system thereof, which can simultaneously combine the characteristics of a cableless underwater robot and a cabled underwater robot. Background technique [0002] Underwater robots are an important tool for exploring the ocean. Cabled underwater robots (ROV) have strong maneuverability and underwater operation capabilities (for example, they can operate high-pressure water pumps to clean oil platforms). It is provided by a cable, so there is no need to consider the issue of endurance, but it needs to be operated by personnel, and because the length of the cable is limited, the range of movement of this robot is small, and the untethered underwater vehicle (AUV) can cruise autonomously underwater, but because of its The energy of the battery comes from the battery carried by oneself, the battery life needs to be considered, and i...
