[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, before polar scientific research, first store the polar scientific research equipment on the trolley 8. The polar scientific research equipment and the multifunctional retracting and deploying device for polar scientific research are stored together in a standard 20-foot container. Transport the 20-inch container to the polar region, and carry the polar scientific research equipment and the multifunctional retracting and deploying device to directly above the outlined ice hole.

[0053] Preferably, the two bases 11 are respectively connected to the bottoms of the two columns 2, and at least one diagonal brace 12 is provided between each base 11 and the corresponding column 2. The number of diagonal braces 12 on each base 1 is two, and the two diagonal braces 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of each column. It can be understood that the number of the diagonal braces is not limited to this, and the specific number can be customized according to actual needs. Each base 1 is also provided with at least one first through hole 13 and at least one second through hole 14. The first through hole 13 is used to fix the trolley 8 on the base 1 and is fixed to the multifunctional retracting and deploying device. The second through hole 14 can fix the multifunctional retracting and deploying device on the ice surface through an ice nail, that is, fix it directly above the outlined ice hole. The bottom of each base 1 is provided with a bottom wear-resistant plate 15, and at least one sixth roller 16 is further provided on the bottom wear-resistant plate 15.

[0054] Subsequently, use the trolley 8 to remove the polar scientific research equipment from the multifunctional retracting and deploying device, and chisel an ice hole according to the ice hole contour line until it meets the requirements for the lowering of the unmanned submersible. After the ice hole is chiseled, move the trolley 8 and the polar scientific research equipment above the trolley 8 to the multifunctional retracting and deploying device.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotating disc 4 includes:

[0056] A circular ring 41, the circular ring 41 is coaxially arranged with the disc 31 at the bottom of the cross beam 3, and the circular ring 41 can rotate axially along the disc 31 at the bottom of the cross beam 3;

Each first chute 421 and each second chute 422 are respectively in rolling connection with a first roller set 51 arranged at the top of the first telescopic device 5;

[0058] Two guiding beams 43 are vertically arranged at the bottom of the first rectangular frame 42. A third chute 431 is respectively arranged on the inner sides of the two guiding beams 43. Each third chute 431 is in rolling connection with a second roller set 52 arranged at the middle connection part of the first telescopic device 5.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating disk 4 can rotate 360 degrees along the axial direction of the disk at the bottom of the cross beam 3. When recovering the polar scientific research equipment working below the ice surface, it can be adjusted to any angle according to the position of the polar equipment.

[0060] Preferably, the first telescopic device 5 is of two scissor structures. The tops of the two scissor structures are connected to the rotating disk 4, and the bottoms of the two scissor structures are connected to the hanging beam 6. The connection between the first rectangular frame 42 and the two guiding beams 43 and the first telescopic device 5 limits the moving direction of the first telescopic device 5 and increases the stiffness of the first telescopic device 5 at the same time.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second telescopic device 7 is an electric hoist 71; a first lifting lug 32 is welded on one side of the cross beam 3 facing the bottom support 1. One end of the electric hoist 71 is hung on the first lifting lug 32, and a second lifting lug 72 is arranged at the other end of the electric hoist 71. The second lifting lug 72 is connected to the hanging beam 6.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the maximum load of the electric hoist 71 is 3 tons. It can be understood that this maximum load is not limited in this way, and an electric hoist 71 with a larger load can be selected according to requirements to be able to meet the lifting and releasing of large-load polar scientific research equipment. The telescopic stroke of the electric hoist 71 can reach up to 7 meters at most, but it is not limited by this and can be selected according to actual requirements.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hanging beam 6 includes:

[0064] A second rectangular frame 61, and a fourth chute 611 arranged diagonally is respectively arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the second rectangular frame 61; a fifth chute 612 arranged diagonally is respectively arranged on the upper surfaces of both sides of the second rectangular frame; the fourth chute 611 and the fifth chute 612 are respectively in rolling connection with a third roller set 53 arranged at the bottom of the first telescopic device 5;

[0065] A fixed beam 62 is arranged between both sides of the second rectangular frame 61. A third lifting lug 621 is arranged on the fixed beam 62. The third lifting lug 621 is connected to the second lifting lug 72;

[0066] Two fastening components 63 are respectively connected to the outer walls of both sides of the second rectangular frame 61; a bolt hole 631 for fixing the polar scientific research equipment is respectively arranged on the two fastening components 63.

[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, the overall structure of the suspension beam is made of 316L stainless steel rectangular tubes. It can be understood that the material is not limited to this, and different materials can be selected according to requirements.

[0068] The first rectangular frame 42 and the second rectangular frame 61 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the first telescopic device 5. The position where the first chute 421 is arranged on the first rectangular frame 42 is the same as the position where the fifth chute 612 is arranged on the second rectangular frame. The position where the second chute 422 is arranged on the first rectangular frame 42 is the same as the position where the fourth chute 611 is arranged on the second rectangular frame 61. The sizes of the first chute 421 and the fourth chute 611 are equal, and the sizes of the second chute 422 and the fifth chute 612 are equal.

[0069] The third lifting lug 621 on the fixed beam 62 is connected to the second lifting lug 72 on the electric hoist 71, so that when the electric hoist 71 is started during the recovery of the polar scientific research equipment, the first telescopic device 5, the suspension beam 6 and the polar scientific research equipment can be driven to move longitudinally through the second lifting lug 72.

[0070] The lifting lug on the polar scientific research equipment passes through the bolt hole 631 on the fastening member 63, and the lifting lug on the polar scientific research equipment is fixed in the bolt hole 631 by a pin shaft. After the polar scientific research equipment is released to reach the preset position underwater, the pin shaft is manually pulled out to separate the lifting lug on the polar scientific research equipment from the bolt hole 631.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the trolley 8 includes:

[0072] A trolley body 81, with a hollow area opened in the middle of the trolley body 81;

[0073] At least one support frame 82, arranged on the trolley body 81 and on both sides of the hollow area facing the bottom support 1, and a baffle 83 is respectively arranged on one side of each support frame 82 facing the hollow area;

[0074] At least one support point 84, arranged on the trolley body 81 and on both sides of the hollow area perpendicular to the bottom support 1;

[0075] A fourth roller set 85, arranged at the bottom of the trolley body 81.

[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are 4 supporting points 84, but this is not a limitation. The specific number can be customized according to actual needs. The supporting points 84 are used to support polar scientific research equipment. The supporting baffle 83 is used to fix the polar scientific research equipment placed on the trolley 8 to prevent the polar scientific research equipment from moving and tipping over. The supporting frame 82 is used to support the baffle 83 to ensure the position of the polar scientific research equipment during the transportation of the multifunctional device or the transfer of the polar scientific research equipment. The number of the supporting frame 82 and the supporting baffle 83 is 4. It can be understood that this is not a limitation, and the specific number can be customized according to actual needs. Within a certain space, the more the number, the better the effect of preventing the polar scientific research equipment from moving and tipping over.

[0077] The fourth roller group 85 at the bottom of the trolley body 81 is preferably four rollers, but this is not a limitation. The specific number can be customized according to actual needs. The fourth roller group 85 enables the trolley 8 to be easily pushed on the cement floor.

[0078] Preferably, a fifth roller group 86 is further provided on both sides of the trolley body 81, on the side of the supporting frame 82 facing the bottom support 1. The bottom support 1 includes two bases 11, and a guiding bevel 17 is respectively provided at both ends of each base 11 corresponding to the fifth roller group 86.

[0079] More specifically, in this embodiment, taking an unmanned submersible as an example, release the unmanned submersible to a predetermined position:

[0080] S1. Before the unmanned submersible is launched, first check whether the electric hoist 7 is powered on normally. After confirming the power-on, then check the two fastening components 63 on the hanging beam 6. After the unmanned submersible is locked on the two fastening components 63, start the electric hoist 71. The second lifting lug 72 on the electric hoist 71 drives the hanging beam 6 to move longitudinally upward, and the first telescopic device 5 contracts, so that the unmanned submersible leaves the trolley 8, and then the trolley 8 is slid out from the base support 1 until the trolley 8 completely exits the multifunctional retracting and deploying device, making way for the descent channel of the unmanned submersible.

[0081] S2. Disconnect the second lifting lug 72 on the electric hoist 71 from the hanging beam 6. The hanging beam 6 moves longitudinally downward due to gravity, driving the first telescopic device 5 to extend. After the first telescopic device 5 extends to the maximum tension, pull out the pin on the bolt hole 631, so that the lifting lug on the unmanned submersible is disengaged from the bolt hole 631, and then the unmanned submersible can work under the ice layer.

[0082] S3. Adjust the angle of the rotating disk 4 so that the hanging beam 6 is parallel to the cross beam 3. The first telescopic device 5 moves longitudinally upward under the action of its own elastic force, driving the hanging beam 6 to move until it reaches the normal position of the first telescopic device 5.

[0083] More specifically, in this embodiment, taking an unmanned submersible as an example, the method for recovering the unmanned submersible is as follows:

[0084] S1. A positioning system is provided inside the unmanned submersible. By activating the positioning system, the unmanned submersible can return to the ice cave entrance.

[0085] S2. Activate the electric hoist 71, so that the second lifting lug 72 on the electric hoist 71 drives the suspension beam 6 to move vertically downward, and at the same time the first telescopic device 5 extends until the suspension beam 6 is lowered to the position of the lifting lug of the unmanned submersible.

[0086] S3. After the suspension beam 6 is connected and locked with the lifting lug of the unmanned submersible, activate the electric hoist 71, so that the second lifting lug 72 on the electric hoist 71 drives the suspension beam 6 to move vertically upward until the second lifting lug rises to the limit position.

[0087] S4. Slide the trolley 8 to the bottom bracket 1 so that the trolley 8 is located below the unmanned submersible, and the bottom of the unmanned submersible is aligned with the position of the support point 84. At this time, the trolley can be fixed to the first through hole 13 of the base 11 through a pin shaft.

[0088] S5. Activate the electric hoist 71. The second lifting lug 72 on the electric hoist 71 drives the suspension beam 6 to move vertically downward until the unmanned submersible can be placed on the trolley 8. Pull out the pin shaft from the bolt hole 631, and then cut off the power supply of the electric hoist 71.

[0089] After cleaning the unmanned submersible and the multifunctional hoisting and lowering device, the unmanned submersible and the multifunctional hoisting and lowering device can be put back into the container and tied up for storage. During the recovery operation process, auxiliary tools such as wooden boards and ropes are needed to ensure the safety during the release and recovery process of the unmanned submersible.

[0090] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the implementation manners and protection scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it should be realized that all the equivalent replacements and obvious changes made by using the content of this specification and the drawings should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
