AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing underwater vehicles use propeller thrusters that cause vortices that affect the living environment, have low energy utilization efficiency, and pose a risk of collision under harsh conditions. In addition, low-speed maneuvering and fine control increase navigation resistance.

Method used

A simple underwater jet generator is used, which uses a vibrating diaphragm to compress or expand the volume in the gas holding chamber. Combined with a guide baffle and multiple jet outlets, it realizes alternating gas-liquid operation and improves the jet intensity and speed.

Benefits of technology

On the basis of reducing energy consumption, the jet intensity and speed are improved, the propulsion efficiency and maneuverability of underwater vehicles are enhanced, and the impact on the living environment is reduced.

Abstract

The present invention belongs to the field of underwater navigation equipment, and specifically relates to an underwater jet generator, underwater navigation equipment, and control method thereof. The underwater jet generator includes a cavity and a vibrating diaphragm. The cavity includes a gas accommodating chamber and a liquid accommodating chamber interconnected from top to bottom. The vibrating diaphragm is disposed within the gas accommodating chamber, and vibration of the vibrating diaphragm compresses or expands the volume of the gas accommodating chamber. The cavity is provided with a jet outlet within the liquid accommodating chamber. The underwater jet generator provided by the present invention improves the jet intensity and jet velocity of the underwater jet generator while reducing energy consumption.
