Embodiment 1

[0081] as Figure 11 As shown, the guide claw of the first module is in a contraction state before docking, at which point the drive rod mechanism is within the rectangular box.

[0082] as Figure 12As shown, when the implementation of docking, the motor receives the command to start rotating, the motor shaft through the coupling to drive the rotation of the wire lever, and then the lead screw moves along the guide rail, but also drives the power rod in the transmission rod structure upward movement, the upward movement of the active rod drives the outward extension of the entire mechanism, when the entire mechanism extends to the limit position, the motor stops rotating, the transmission mechanism also stops extending, at this time fixed at the outermost spherical structure of the transmission mechanism and the cloth at the entrance of the spherical cavity is fully extended, Since one end of the guide canvas is fixed around the spherical cavity and the other end is fixed to the re...

Embodiment 2

[0087] As in Example 1, the guide claw needs to be extended outward to the maximum position before docking, and then the docking rod is slowly moved forward within the range of the guide claw.

[0088] At this time, the motor rotates, driving the transmission mechanism to shrink, shrink to a predetermined position, at this time the ball structure at the end of the guide claw will hold the butt rod, at this time, due to the large radius of the spherical structure at the end of the docking rod, the entire docking rod will not be separated from the circle surrounded by the guide claw, thus realizing docking and locking, such as Figure 16 as shown.

[0089] When it is time to unlock, simply extend the locking claw outward, at which point the butt lever can be removed without obstacles, and finally guide the claw back to its original state.

[0090] The present invention has the following features:

[0091] (1) The present invention may realize the docking of unmanned boats.

[0092] (2...

Abstract

The invention provides a modular docking mechanism for an unmanned boat, which includes: a first module, which is installed at the tail of the unmanned boat; a second module, which is installed at the head of the unmanned boat and is connected with the previous unmanned boat The first module of the tail is docked. The modular docking mechanism for the unmanned boat provided by the present invention has two docking modes, both of which can realize flexible docking. After docking, the unmanned boat formation can turn and float up and down, and can greatly reduce the resistance of the unmanned boat formation in the water, increasing the endurance of the entire formation.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention belongs to the field of unmanned boat formations, in particular to a modular docking mechanism for unmanned boats. Background [0002] Unmanned surface boats have great advantages in performing dangerous tasks and tasks that are not suitable for manned, with the continuous development of unmanned boats, a variety of types of unmanned boats have been developed, and the control of unmanned boats has also matured. However, the capacity of a single unmanned boat is often limited, and it is often encountered that a single unmanned boat cannot complete the task or the efficiency of a single unmanned boat is not high, which requires the unmanned boat to work in clusters, work together with each other, and give play to their respective advantages. The clustering of unmanned boats has greater flexibility, mobility, a wider operating range and higher operational efficiency than a single unmanned boat. However, there are many kinds of formations ...
