Embodiment Construction

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] Such as Figure 1-5 As shown, an AUV locking mechanism with a damping device includes a guiding mechanism 1, a fixing base 2, a fixing device 3 and a damping barrel 4 in sequence along the docking direction.

[0030] The fixed base 2 is cylindrical and has a first passage for the AUV 6 to pass through. Both ends of the fixed base 2 are designed as flange structures for easy assembly. Guide mechanism 1 comprises the inner fixed plate 11 that is fixed on...

Abstract

The invention discloses an AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) locking mechanism with a damping device, which comprises a fixed base, the fixed base is provided with a first channel for an AUV to pass through, and one side of the fixed base is provided with a fixing device capable of locking the AUV after the AUV passes through the first channel and moves in place. A damping barrel capable of buffering the AUV after the AUV enters is arranged on the side, away from the first channel, of the fixing device. According to the invention, the water pressure in the damping barrel is utilized to flexibly buffer the AUV when the AUV is docked, so that rigid collision is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of AUV recovery, in particular to an AUV locking mechanism with a damping device. Background technique [0002] Generally, the speed of AUV docking can reach 1-2m / s. At present, AUV docking generally adopts hard contact to force the speed of AUV to drop to 0. On the other hand, the clamping of AUVs often requires external drive units, such as underwater motors, hydraulic cylinders, etc. These underwater drive components are expensive and complex in structure. In addition, attracting the stainless steel structure at a specific position of the AUV with an underwater magnet is also a clamping method, but it is difficult to make the electromagnet and the AUV completely close together, resulting in the inability to fully release the suction force of the electromagnet. In the ocean, the influence of ocean currents leads to AUV During violent vibration, there is a risk of detaching from the electromagnet adsorptio...
