Connector mechanism for docking of unmanned surface vehicle

Abstract

The invention provides a connector mechanism for docking of an unmanned ship, and belongs to the technical field of ship docking. The connector mechanism comprises a first connecting part and a second connecting part, the first connecting part comprises a first mounting body and a connecting rod, the first mounting body is provided with a mounting groove, the connecting rod is telescopically mounted in the mounting groove, and one end of the connecting rod is provided with a first locking structure. The second connecting part comprises a second mounting body, the second mounting body is provided with a clamping groove and a conical surface guide plate, the conical surface guide plate is provided with a conical guide hole, one end of the conical guide hole is connected with a notch of the clamping groove, and the other end of the conical guide hole is located in the clamping groove; and a second locking structure matched with the first locking structure is arranged, and the connecting rod can extend into the clamping groove along the conical guide hole and is matched with the second locking structure through the first locking structure so as to be locked and fixed with the second mounting body. The structure is simple, butt joint is convenient, and the butt joint success rate of the unmanned ship under the influence of stormy waves can be increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of docking of ships, in particular to a connector mechanism for docking of unmanned boats. Background technique [0002] The status of marine development and research in the field of marine science and technology is increasing day by day. Among them, unmanned boats are becoming more and more popular in many aspects of marine technology due to their small size, shallow draft and unmanned characteristics. However, with the continuous improvement of demand, the limitations of unmanned boats in complex sea conditions are getting bigger and bigger, especially the short board in terms of endurance is particularly prominent. Due to energy consumption and safety issues, the navigation range is always limited, and most of them are located in offshore areas. How to expand the navigation range of unmanned boats to achieve more has become the main topic in the field of unmanned boat research. [0003] In related tech...

Problems solved by technology

[0004]However, the common docking connectors currently include spacecraft docking and EMU train docking. Spaceships can achieve precise docking without resistance and disturbance in a vacuum, and train sets can Accurate docking is achieved on a fixed track, while unmanned boats are easily affected by random and irregular disturbance loads such as wind, waves and currents when docking at sea, resulting in poor docking accuracy and low success rate under remote control, often requiring repeated attempts to influence Related experiments and productivity
