[0002] Currently, most deep-sea manned platforms rely on surface support vessels for high-precision positioning in the deep sea and long-distance communication with shore-based platforms. However, with the increasing endurance of deep-sea manned platforms, higher requirements are being placed on their autonomous operational capabilities, eliminating the need for support from surface vessels. Therefore, obtaining high-precision position information and enabling long-distance communication with the outside world during extended deep-sea operations have become urgent requirements for these platforms. To this end, various multifunctional buoy technologies and equipment have been developed both domestically and internationally. Among them, cabled relay buoys offer reliable and real-time data transmission.

[0018] The control method of the buoy storage device of the present invention is as follows:

[0019] When the buoy storage and retraction device is in a non-working state, it can be stored in the deep-sea carrier cabin for storing the buoy body, and the buoy body is placed on the bracket bottom plate of the bracket; when the buoy storage and retraction device needs to release the buoy body, the underwater hydraulic winch is first switched to tension mode, and the two hydraulic motors of the underwater hydraulic winch are controlled by an external PLC controller to control the piston rods of the two retraction and retraction cylinders and the two towing arm cylinders to extend, so that the towing arm component rotates around the towing arm shaft tube, and the active arm component rotates around the main shaft tube, and at the same time controls the photoelectric slip ring to drive the central axis of the drum to rotate and thus loosen the composite cable. When the drum rotates, the rotation angle of the drum is obtained through the various magnet assemblies and magnetic switches on the drum, thereby controlling the loosening length of the composite cable. At this time, the longest sides of the two main ribs of the active arm component and the driven arm component rotate to a vertical state and lift the bracket. The bracket always remains horizontal, and the towing When the magnet assembly and magnetic switch of the signal trigger on the arm component and the active arm component are facing each other, the in-position signal of the dragging arm component and the active arm component is output to the external PLC controller. At this time, the buoy retraction and release storage device releases the buoy body, switches the underwater hydraulic winch to the retraction and release mode, and drives the root ends of two of the clamping arms to rotate by contracting the piston rod of the clamping cylinder so that the two clamping arms move away from each other, and drives the root ends of the other two clamping arms to rotate by the two clamping arm rotating shafts so that the other two clamping arms move away from each other. At this time, the central axis of the drum is driven to rotate by controlling the photoelectric slip ring to continue to loosen the composite cable, release the buoy body from the bracket bottom plate, and the buoy body moves away from the in-position switch. The in-position switch sends a release signal to the external PLC controller to release the buoy body, and then controls the bracket to fall. After reaching the preset cable release length of the composite cable, the underwater hydraulic winch brakes to complete the release of the buoy body.

[0020] When it is necessary to recover the buoy body, first control the bracket to rise, and use the underwater hydraulic winch in the retraction mode to first pull the buoy body close to the bracket by tightening the composite cable, and at the same time control the clamping arm component to open by the clamping cylinder. Then the underwater hydraulic winch continues to tighten the composite cable until the buoy body falls into the bracket, and the buoy body is crimped on the in-position switch. The in-position switch sends an in-position signal to the external PLC controller, and the underwater hydraulic winch brakes. At the same time, the clamping cylinder controls the clamping arm component to close and clamp the buoy body. Then the underwater hydraulic winch switches to the tension mode, controls the bracket to fall, and controls the towing arm cylinder to retract the towing arm component. The underwater hydraulic winch brakes to complete the recovery of the buoy body.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] 1) The present invention can be used for deep-sea manned platforms to automatically retract and store streamlined buoy bodies with better floating stability. The underwater hydraulic winch of the present invention is powered by dual hydraulic motors. When one of the hydraulic motors fails, the underwater hydraulic winch can reduce power output to achieve a backup working mode driven by one hydraulic motor, ensuring that the buoy can be retracted.

[0023] 2) The present invention uses a plurality of in-place detection devices to detect the movement in-place state of the mechanism and the retracted and extended state of the winch, so that the device has higher automation and reliability.

[0024] 3) The underwater hydraulic winch of the present invention has an emergency cable array cutting function to ensure the safety of the platform in an emergency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Then the underwater hydraulic winch 3 continues to tighten the composite cable 4 until the buoy body 1 falls into the bracket 8. The buoy body 1 is crimped on the in-position switch 39, and the in-position switch 39 sends an in-position signal to the external PLC controller. The underwater hydraulic winch 3 brakes, and at the same time, the clamping cylinder 38 controls the clamping arm component to close and clamp the buoy body 1. Then the underwater hydraulic winch 3 switches to the tension mode, controls the bracket 8 to fall, and at the same time controls the towing arm cylinder 13 to retract the towing arm component 7. The underwater hydraulic winch 3 brakes to complete the recovery of the buoy body 1.
