Technical Field

[0002] The ocean is the space where humanity lives and thrives, rich in resources. The exploration and development of marine resources requires advanced technology and equipment. Unmanned, cable-free, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) can perform a variety of tasks, including monitoring the marine environment and sampling marine resources, playing a vital role in the utilization of marine resources.
[0003] AUVs can autonomously complete limited underwater navigation using the energy they carry. However, due to their limited energy capacity, especially those powered by lithium batteries, they require frequent recovery for energy replenishment or battery replacement. Currently, AUV recovery methods primarily include mothership recovery, underwater tank recovery, and torpedo tube recovery. For underwater tank recovery and torpedo tube recovery, the main energy recharge methods currently used are wired and wireless.
[0004] Numerous researchers are currently studying wireless energy recharge methods. Compared to wired energy recharge, wireless energy recharge offers many advantages, including increased reliability and simplicity. However, wireless charging is less efficient than wired energy recharge, and reduced alignment between the primary and secondary coils of a wireless power transmitter can further impact wireless charging efficiency.

[0061] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0062] The embodiment of the present application provides a rotary AUV adaptive wireless charging device, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the device includes:

[0065] The AUV wireless charging resident cabin (2) is designed as a hollow cylindrical structure, and its second end is designed with a connecting flange (20) for connecting AUV recovery covers of different structural forms. The first end of the cabin is designed as a non-sealed structure, which facilitates the wireless energy transmission primary side adaptive adjustment device (3) to be embedded and connected to the AUV wireless charging resident cabin (2). A wireless energy transmission controller (4) is designed and installed on the top of the AUV wireless charging resident cabin (2). The wireless energy transmission controller (4) is installed in the control box (40), and the control box (40) is fixedly connected to the AUV wireless charging resident cabin (2) through the controller fixing device (5) and the bolts. On the one hand, the control box (40) can place the wireless energy transmission controller, and on the other hand, it can maintain the circumferential position of the wireless energy transmission primary side coil fixed during the adjustment process of the wireless energy transmission primary side adaptive adjustment device (3). The wireless energy transmission primary side adaptive adjustment device (3) drives the wireless energy transmission primary side coil to move back and forth longitudinally along the AUV wireless charging resident cabin (2) through the adaptive adjustment spring, and cooperates with the improved rotary AUV cabin (1) to achieve precise alignment of the primary and secondary side coils of the wireless charging system, thereby improving the energy supply efficiency of the wireless energy transmission. At the same time, after charging is completed and the AUV locking device is released, the spring contraction elastic force can help the AUV exit the AUV wireless charging resident cabin (2), thereby improving the AUV exit efficiency.
[0066] Combine Figure 2 The improved rotary AUV cabin (1) is designed with a wireless charging cabin (10) near the first end of the AUV, which contains a wireless charging secondary coil. A limited telescopic column (11) is designed on the side of the AUV wireless charging cabin (10) away from the first end of the AUV. The limited telescopic column can be controlled to extend or retract through the AUV control system, so that the limited telescopic column extends out or retracts into the AUV cabin.
[0067] Combine Figure 3A and Figure 3BThe AUV wireless charging resident cabin (2) is a hollow circular structure, and the hollow holes (21) are arranged along the circumferential direction of the AUV wireless charging resident cabin (2) and are longitudinally extended to both ends of the cabin, and their width is less than the diameter of the AUV cabin upper limit telescopic column (11). The first end face of the AUV wireless charging resident cabin (2) is a non-sealed structure, and a threaded hole (24) is designed along the circumferential direction of the first end face to facilitate fixed installation with the wireless energy transmission primary side adaptive adjustment device (3). The second end of the AUV wireless charging resident cabin (2) is designed with a circular fixing flange (20), and the fixing flange (20) is designed with a threaded hole (23) to facilitate the connection of the AUV wireless charging resident cabin (2) with different AUV recovery covers. A long strip hollow structure (22) is designed on the upper end face of the AUV wireless charging station cabin (2). The length of the long strip hollow structure (22) extends from the first end face to the second end face, and the width must be greater than the diameter of the AUV cabin limit telescopic column (11). The long strip hollow structure (22) is mainly used to cooperate with the wireless energy transmission control box (40) for fixed installation.
[0068] Combine Figure 4 , wireless energy transmission primary coil (32), adaptive adjustment spring (31) and fixed baffle (30). The number of adaptive adjustment springs can be flexibly determined according to different AUV types and different application scenarios, and no specific restrictions are made here. One end of the adaptive adjustment spring is connected to the wireless energy transmission primary coil (32) and the other end is connected to the fixed baffle (30).
[0069] Combine Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 9 The wireless energy transmission coil is evenly wound inside the wireless energy transmission circular coil housing (320). A triangular groove (321) is designed on the upper portion of the wireless energy transmission primary coil housing (320). The triangular groove (321) and the triangular convex structure at the bottom of the wireless energy transmission control box (40) are installed in conjunction with each other to restrict the wireless energy transmission primary coil (32) from being fixed in the circumferential direction. The wireless energy transmission primary coil (32) is movably placed inside the AUV wireless charging resident cabin (2), and its upper triangular groove (321) is located in the middle of the width of the long strip hollow structure (22) of the AUV wireless charging resident cabin, allowing for free longitudinal movement forward and backward.
[0070] Combine Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 The fixed baffle (30) has threaded holes (34) evenly distributed along the edge thereof, for fixing the fixed baffle (30) to the edge of the first end of the AUV wireless charging station cabin (2). A travel switch (33) is installed at the center of the first end face of the fixed baffle (30) for detecting the position of the AUV. The fixed baffle (30) is fixedly connected to the edge of the first end of the AUV wireless charging station cabin (2) by bolts.
[0071] Combine Figure 4 One end of the adaptive adjustment spring (31) is connected to the outer edge of the wireless energy transmission round-edge coil housing (320) and is evenly distributed along the circumference of the wireless energy transmission round-edge coil housing (320). The other end is connected to the fixed baffle (30) near the outer edge and is evenly distributed circumferentially at the same position as the outer edge of the wireless energy transmission round-edge coil housing (320).
[0072] Combine Figure 7 The wireless energy transmission controller (4) is placed in the wireless energy transmission controller housing (40). The wireless energy transmission controller housing (40) is designed as a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and edge extension frames (42) are designed on the left and right sides. Threaded through holes (43) are designed on both sides of each edge extension frame (42) to facilitate the passage of bolts. A triangular convex structure (41) is designed in the middle of the bottom of the wireless energy transmission controller housing (40). The triangular convex structure (41) is designed to extend from the front face of the wireless energy transmission controller housing (40) through the center bottom of the housing to the rear face of the wireless energy transmission controller housing (40).
[0073] Combine Figure 7 and Figure 9 The wireless energy transmission controller housing (40) is designed to be placed at the upper end of the AUV wireless charging residence cabin (2). The placement position makes its triangular convex structure (41) pass through the long strip hollow structure (22) of the AUV wireless charging residence cabin, and is located in the middle position of the hollow structure (22) along the width direction. At the same time, it cooperates with the triangular groove (321) of the wireless energy transmission round-edge coil housing and is embedded in the triangular groove (321) so that the wireless energy transmission round-edge coil housing can only move freely along the front and rear directions of the triangular convex structure (41).
[0074] Combine Figure 8 The shape is designed to be semicircular, and the inner diameter is designed to be the same as the outer diameter of the AUV wireless charging station cabin (2). The two ends of the semicircle are designed with connecting extension terminals (50). The upper end surfaces of the left and right extension terminals (50) are respectively designed with two U-shaped through holes (51) for the bolts to pass through.
[0075] Combine Figure 9The fixing device (5) is designed with two sets, which are respectively installed on the bottom of the AUV wireless charging station cabin (2) and connected to the outer arc. The left end face of the left fixing device (5) and the left end face of the wireless energy transmission controller housing (40) are on the same plane, and the right end face of the right fixing device (5) and the right end face of the wireless energy transmission controller housing (40) are on the same plane. The U-shaped through hole (51) of the fixing device and the threaded through hole (43) of the wireless energy transmission controller housing are designed to be on the same vertical plane, so that the bolts can pass through the threaded through hole (43) of the wireless energy transmission controller housing to the U-shaped through hole (51) of the fixing device, thereby fixing the wireless energy transmission controller housing (40) and the controller fixing device (5).
[0076] Combine Figures 10-12 In this embodiment, the specific working mode of the rotary AUV adaptive wireless charging device is as follows:
[0077] Step 1: During the mission execution of the rotary AUV, the limiting telescopic column (11) is retracted into the AUV cabin (1), as shown in FIG. Figure 10 shown.
[0078] Step 2: When the rotary AUV needs to be recharged, when the AUV enters the wireless energy transmission station cabin, the limiting telescopic column (11) extends out of the AUV cabin (1), as shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown.
[0079] Step 3: After the AUV enters the cabin (2), it continues to move forward under the action of the propeller. When the limit telescopic column (11) touches the wireless energy transmission primary coil (32), the AUV controls the propeller to stop working. The AUV continues to move forward along the AUV station cabin (2) by inertia.
[0080] Step 4: After the AUV limit telescopic column (11) touches the wireless energy transmission primary side structure (32), it pushes the primary side forward along the longitudinal direction of the AUV station cabin (2). Due to the action of the limit telescopic column (11), the wireless energy transmission primary side (32) can be kept aligned with the wireless energy transmission secondary side (10). At the same time, the limit adjustment spring (31) is gradually compressed.
[0081] Step 5: When the front end of the AUV touches the baffle upper limit switch (33), the AUV locking device is activated to lock the AUV. Since the locking device is not within the scope of the present invention, a standard locking method is adopted here. At this time, the limit adjustment spring (31) is compressed to the tightest, and because the limit telescopic column (11) pushes the primary coil structure (32) to move, the wireless charging primary and secondary coils (10) can be kept aligned. Therefore, the charging efficiency of the AUV during wireless charging is improved.
[0082] Step 6: When the AUV is fully charged, the locking device is released. Since the limit adjustment spring (31) is in a compressed state at this time, when the locking device is released, the limit adjustment spring (31) pulls the AUV outward, providing initial assistance for the AUV to exit the AUV residence cabin, thereby improving the AUV exit efficiency and further saving the AUV energy.
[0083] Step 7: After the AUV exits the AUV residence cabin, the limiting telescopic column (11) is retracted into the AUV cabin (2) under the control of the AUV, and the AUV begins to perform its work task.
[0084] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of this application can be combined arbitrarily unless there is any conflict.
[0085] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
