DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0042] Refer to the attached Figure 1-13 The shown embodiment shows a fully rotating, full-view manned submersible, comprising a manned spherical shell 1, wherein a rotating seat system 2 is provided inside the manned spherical shell 1, a drive control system 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the bottom of the manned spherical shell 1, a floor 7 is fixed to the bottom of the rotating seat system 2, a combination bracket 8 is fixed to the bottom of the floor 7, and the bottom of the combination bracket 8 passes through the manned spherical shell 1 and is connected to the drive control system 3; a sampling operation system 4 is also installed on the top of the drive control system 3.

[0043] Specifically, the manned sphere 1 is made of fully transparent organic glass, with a thickness of t = 70mm and a radius of R = 1170mm, providing a 360-degree horizontal field of view within the cabin. A personnel access hatch 11 is defined at the top of the manned sphere 1. A hatch cover 12 is movably connected to the hatch 11 via a connecting member 13. The outer ring of the connecting member 13 is fixedly connected to the manned sphere 1, while the inner ring of the connecting member 13 is connected to the hatch cover 12 via a sealing ring 14, as shown in Appendix 2. A circular lighting strip 15 is also provided at the bottom of the connecting member 13.

[0044] Two connecting rods 16 are fixed to the top of the access hatch 12. A plurality of brackets 17 are fixed to the top of the connecting member 13. A rotating shaft 18 is fixed between the brackets 17. The end of the connecting rod 16, away from the access hatch 12, is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 18. Pulling the connecting rod 16 upward causes the connecting rod 16 and one end of the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, thereby driving the access hatch 12 to rotate, opening the access hatch 11 and facilitating the submersible's entry into the manned sphere 1. Conversely, the access hatch 11 can be closed. A lighting strip 15 can illuminate the interior of the manned sphere 1. The bottom of the manned sphere 1 is connected to the battery compartment 33 of the drive control system 3, and the battery compartment 33 surrounds the bottom of the manned sphere 1. It should be noted that, except for the necessary connection structures described in this application, all connections that require sealing are sealed using existing technologies to ensure a sealed environment for the manned sphere 1.

[0045] Preferably, the manned submersible set in the present invention is a kilometer-level submersible with an operating range within a depth of 1000 meters. The maximum pressure on the manned spherical shell 1 is 10 MPa. The nonlinear stability formula of the spherical shell is:

[0046]

[0047] Where, is the critical load for elastic instability, is the initial defect factor, is with The defect term multiplier, The maximum value is 1, v is Poisson's ratio, σ Take as the maximum stress when the spherical shell undergoes critical instability, yes σ The material modulus at the corresponding design stress. is the ratio of the thickness to the radius of the spherical shell and is a dimensionless quantity.

[0048] Furthermore, the elastic modulus of organic glass , Poisson's ratio v =0.32.F ( f R )=1, , t R = 70mm / 1170mm=0.0598, then:

[0049]

[0050] It was verified that the plexiglass manned sphere with a thickness of 70mm and a radius of 1170mm can fully withstand the pressure of 1000 meters underwater.

[0051] Furthermore, a floor 7 is provided in the manned spherical shell 1. The floor 7 is fixedly connected to the drive control system 3 via a combination bracket 8. A certain gap is provided between the floor 7 and the manned spherical shell 1 to prevent the organic glass from being strained and displaced under changes in water pressure. The strain-displacement formula is:

[0052]

[0053] Where, u is the strain displacement distance, R e is the outer radius of the manned spherical shell, R i is the inner radius of the manned spherical shell, K = R e / R i , k = r / R e , r is the radius of any point, E is the elastic modulus, v is Poisson's ratio, p o For pressure.

[0054] Specifically, to determine the spatial range of the cabin layout, it is necessary to calculate the strain displacement distance of the point on the radius of the manned spherical shell, so r= R i The outer radius of the manned spherical shell R e =1170mm, inner radius R i =1100mm, K =1170mm / 1100mm=1.064, k =1100mm / 1100mm=1, v =0.32, E =3160, p o=10Mpa. Then:

[0055]

[0056] The results show that the manned spherical shell 1 will be strained and compressed by 22mm under a pressure of 10Mpa. The gap between the floor 7 and the manned spherical shell 1 should be greater than or equal to 22mm. The safe position of the cabin layout is within the radius R’ = R i - u =1100mm-22mm=1078mm in the spherical space.

[0057] Furthermore, the rotating seat system 2 includes an upper seat 21, a lower seat 22, an upper rotating shaft system 23 and a lower rotating shaft system 24; the upper seat 21 is fixedly connected to the upper rotating shaft system 23, and the lower seat 22 is fixedly connected to the lower rotating shaft system 24. The upper rotating shaft system 23 and the lower rotating shaft system 24 are independently controlled, so that the upper seat 21 and the lower seat 22 can independently realize full-circle rotation.

[0058] The upper rotating shaft system 23 includes an upper rotating mounting plate 231, a lower flange 232, a support shaft 233, an upper flange 234, a cross roller bearing 235, a gear transmission mechanism 236, a drive motor 237 and a cylindrical lower fixed shell 238. The upper seat 21 is fixedly connected to the upper rotating mounting plate 231 by bolts. The upper rotating mounting plate 231 is rotatably sleeved outside the support shaft 233. An upper flange 234 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the upper rotating mounting plate 231. The outer ring 2351 of the cross roller bearing 235 is fixedly connected to the upper flange 234. The inner ring 2352 of the cross roller bearing 235 is sleeved outside the support shaft 233. Through the arrangement of the cross roller bearing 235, it can be ensured that the upper rotating mounting plate 231 can rotate 360 ​​degrees when the support shaft 233 is stationary.

[0059] The drive motor 237 is mounted on the bottom of the upper flange 234 by bolts, and the drive motor 237 is connected to the support shaft 233 by a gear transmission mechanism 236.

The bottom of the large flange gear 2361 is fixedly connected to the lower flange 232 by bolts, and the top of the large flange gear 2361 is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the support shaft 233 by bolts. That is, the support shaft 233, the large flange gear 2361 and the lower flange 232 are fixed to form an integral, immovable structure.

When the driving motor 237 is working, it drives the small rotating gear 2362 to rotate. Since the support shaft 233, the large flange gear 2361 and the lower flange plate 232 are fixed, the small rotating gear 2362 rotates circumferentially around the outer circumference of the large flange gear 2361, thereby driving the driving motor 237, the upper flange plate 234 and the upper rotating mounting plate 231 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the upper seat 21.

[0060] A rotary encoder 2391 is also mounted on the bottom of the upper flange 234 and is coaxially connected to the drive motor 237. A light shield 2393 is fixed to the bottom of the outer ring 2351 of the cross-roller bearing 235. Two photoelectric limit switches 2392 are symmetrically mounted 180 degrees on the outer wall of the support shaft 233. The drive motor 237 is a servo motor. The rotation angle feedback from the rotary encoder 2391 and the absolute position feedback from the photoelectric limit switches 2392 are used to obtain rotational position information, which is fed back to the servo motor for comparison and compensation. This accurately controls the rotation of the upper rotating mounting plate 231, achieving high positioning accuracy and smoother rotation of the upper rotating mounting plate 231.

[0061] The structure of the lower rotating shaft system 24 is the same as that of the upper rotating shaft system 23, and the lower flange 232 in the upper rotating shaft system 23 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support shaft 233 in the lower rotating shaft system 24, and the lower seat 22 and the upper rotating mounting plate 231 in the lower rotating shaft system 24 are fixedly connected through the seat bracket 25; the lower flange 232 in the lower rotating shaft system 24 is fixedly connected to the floor 7.

The buoyancy compartment 34 is provided with a battery compartment 33, and the battery compartment 33 is equipped with six groups of batteries 331, which are distributed in a circular and equidistant manner in the battery compartment 33 to provide power for the entire submersible. It should be noted that the directional propeller assembly 31 and the vertical propeller assembly 32 in the present invention both adopt the propeller assembly in the prior art, so they are not described in detail in this application.

[0063] Furthermore, the sampling operation system 4 includes a mechanical arm assembly 41, an operation rotating shaft system 42, a sampling rotating platform 43 and a sampling basket assembly 44;

[0064] The sampling rotating platform 43 is located between the battery compartment 33 and the buoyancy compartment 34, and the sampling rotating platform 43 is connected to the battery compartment 33 and the buoyancy compartment 34 through the operating rotating shaft system 42.

When the mechanical arm assembly 41 pulls upward, the pull rod 446 converts the vertical force into a horizontal pulling force through the slide tube 461, thereby opening the double-leaf door. When the double-leaf door is closed, the pull rod 464 is locked on the check member 465 and fixed to the top of the housing assembly through the check member 465. The mechanical arm assembly 41 is flexible in operation, and the sampling basket assembly 44 makes the sampling operation and storage process more reliable and convenient.

[0069] Furthermore, a life protection system 5 and an electrical control system 6 are also provided in the manned spherical shell 1. The life protection system 5 includes a life support cabin 51 and an oxygen cylinder 52. The oxygen cylinder 52 is located in the life support cabin 51; the electrical control system 6 includes an electrical control cabin 61 and a control panel 62. The electrical control cabin 61 is installed on the top of the support shaft 233 of the upper rotating shaft system 23 by bolts, and the control panel 62 is installed outside the electrical control cabin 61 and is symmetrically distributed at 180 degrees. The life support cabin 51 is fixedly installed on the top of the electrical control cabin 61.

[0070] The operating principle of the present invention is as follows: When the manned submersible is in use, a submersible enters the manned spherical shell 1 through the personnel access hatch 11 and closes the access hatch 12. The submersible's diving depth and direction are controlled by the directional thruster assembly 31 and the vertical thruster assembly 32. The manned spherical shell 1 can accommodate two submersibles simultaneously, controlling the drive motors 237 in the upper rotating shaft system 23 and the lower rotating shaft system 24, respectively, to adjust the orientation of the upper seat 21 and the lower seat 22. This allows for 360-degree, full-view observation and corresponding underwater operations without changing the submersible's direction.

[0071] When sampling work is required, without changing the navigation direction of the submersible, the sampling rotating platform 43 is controlled to rotate by controlling the driving motor 237 in the operating rotating shaft system 42, so that the mechanical arm assembly 41 is located above the corresponding sampling basket assembly 44. By making the mechanical arm assembly 41 pull the pull rod 464 in the sampling basket assembly 44, the corresponding double doors can be opened and the sampled samples can be stored. The entire submersible includes 8 sample storage spaces, which can be used for classified storage of samples to improve space utilization.

[0072] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiments. The foregoing embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
