[0049] In combination Figure 6 As shown in the drawings, the control unit 5 can adopt a modularized controller, the control unit 5 can be connected with the base 4, and the control unit 5 is independent of the control system of the ship. The control unit 5 is in communication connection with the driving component 3, the first information acquisition unit and the second information acquisition unit 6, so as to control the driving component 3 according to the comparison between the attitude information of the ship and the rotation angle information of the movable support 2, thereby driving the movable support 2 to rotate relative to the base 4, the angle and direction of the rotation are adjusted according to the difference between the attitude information of the ship and the rotation angle information of the movable support 2, for example, if the inclination angle of the ship increases in the direction away from the water surface, the driving component 3 drives the movable support 2 to rotate in the longitudinal direction towards the direction close to the water surface, and the numerical value of the rotation angle is equal to the numerical value of the change of the longitudinal inclination angle of the ship.

[0050] In the embodiment, the radio communication equipment direction adjusting device is used for being installed on the ship and installing the radio communication equipment 1, the radio communication equipment direction adjusting device can adjust the angle of the movable support 2 and the radio communication equipment 1 installed on the movable support 2 according to the attitude information of the ship, so that the radio communication equipment 1 can adapt to the floating of the ship on the water surface, in the case that the water surface floats greatly when the ship sails at high sea and high speed, the control unit 5 can compare the changes of the attitude information of the ship collected by the first information acquisition unit and the rotation angle information of the movable support 2 collected by the second information acquisition unit 6, and then control the driving component 3 to drive the movable support 2 to rotate relative to the base 4, so that the movable support 2 can drive the radio communication equipment 1 to rotate and rotate to a position where the real target can be scanned, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the installation angle of the radio communication equipment 1 at any time to adapt to the installation requirements of different ships; the radio communication equipment direction adjusting device can adjust the rotation angle of the radio communication equipment 1 relative to the ship body according to the attitude of the ship, and then adjust the scanning angle, so that the radio communication equipment 1 can also detect the real target when the ship sails at high sea and high speed, the use of the radio communication equipment 1 is more flexible, which is conducive to improving the detection accuracy of the radio communication equipment 1 and reducing the generation of clutter.

[0051] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the movable support 2 is rotationally connected to the base 4 about a first axis 7, which is parallel to the horizontal direction; the first information acquisition unit is configured to acquire the trim angle of the ship.

[0052] Specifically, the first axis 7 can be the central axis of the hinge shaft rotationally connecting the movable support 2 to the base 4. When the ship body is at rest on the water surface, the base 4 is installed on the ship body, the movable support 2 is installed above the base 4, the radio communication device 1 is installed on the side of the movable support 2 away from the base 4, i.e., above the movable support 2, and the first axis 7 is parallel to the horizontal direction. Therefore, the movable support 2 rotates relative to the base 4 in the longitudinal plane or the vertical plane.

[0053] The first information acquisition unit employs an angle sensor, which is capable of acquiring the trim angle of the ship. The trim angle is the rotation angle of the ship in the longitudinal plane or the vertical plane when the ship floats on the water surface.

[0054] In the present embodiment, when the ship is affected by the sea conditions and the sailing speed, etc., the ship mainly rises and falls in the longitudinal plane, thereby affecting the acquisition of the target information by the radio communication device 1. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the radio communication device direction adjusting device acquires the trim angle of the ship through the first information acquisition unit, and acquires the rotation angle information of the movable support 2 relative to the base 4 or the ship body in the longitudinal plane through the second information acquisition unit 6. The control unit 5 compares the trim angle information of the ship with the rotation angle information of the movable support 2, thereby controlling the driving component 3 to drive the movable support 2 to rotate adaptively, so as to reduce the influence of the up-and-down fluctuation of the water surface on the scanning angle of the radio communication device 1. The present radio communication device direction adjusting device can adjust the installation angle of the radio communication device 1 at any time and in real time, so as to adapt to the installation requirements of different ships for the radio communication device 1.

[0055] In addition, the present adjusting device has a self-adjusting function, which is a self-stabilizing platform of the radio communication device 1, and can effectively reduce the damage of vibration and impact to the radio communication device 1. The driving component 3 is controlled by the control unit 5 to adjust the different angles of the movable support 2 and the radio communication device 1 on the movable support 2, so as to realize different detection distances of the radio communication device 1.

[0056] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the driving component 3 can drive the movable support 2 to rotate around the first axis 7 relative to the base 4 in the counterclockwise direction and the clockwise direction respectively, and the clockwise direction can also be referred to as the forward direction, and the counterclockwise direction can also be referred to as the reverse direction; the rotation angle range of the movable support 2 relative to the base 4 is ±90°, that is, the driving component 3 can drive the movable support 2 to rotate around the first axis 7 relative to the base 4 in the counterclockwise direction to 90°, and also can rotate in the clockwise direction to 90°.

[0057] Specifically, according to the up and down floating of the ship in the water, the driving component 3 can drive the movable support 2 to rotate clockwise and also can drive the movable support 2 to rotate counterclockwise; for example, the scanning direction of the radio communication equipment 1 is along the direction of the ship sailing, and in the case that the bow of the ship is inclined upward on the water surface, the control unit 5 controls the movable support 2 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction, so that the movable support 2 drives the radio communication equipment 1 to rotate in the direction opposite to the rotating direction of the ship, thereby offsetting the influence of the upward inclination of the ship on the scanning range of the radio communication equipment 1; in the case that the bow of the ship is inclined downward, the control unit 5 controls the movable support 2 to rotate in the clockwise direction, so that the movable support 2 drives the radio communication equipment 1 to rotate in the direction opposite to the rotating direction of the ship, thereby offsetting the influence of the downward inclination of the ship on the scanning range of the radio communication equipment 1.

[0058] In the embodiment, the driving component 3 can adopt a motor, which is a bidirectional rotating motor capable of forward rotation and reverse rotation, commonly known as a forward and reverse motor; by driving the movable support 2 to rotate in the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction respectively, the influence of the up and down fluctuation of the ship on the radio communication equipment 1 is adaptively offset, the present radio communication equipment direction adjusting device can adjust the installation angle of the radio communication equipment 1 in real time following the fluctuation of the ship, ensure the detection accuracy of the radio communication equipment 1, and reduce the probability of clutter generation.

[0059] In one of the embodiments, the ship is an automatically driven ship, and the ship has a self-control center system, which is in communication connection with the control unit 5.

[0060] Specifically, the self-control center system is a control center independent of the ship, and the self-control center system is a computer control center arranged on the shore, which includes a PLC controller.

[0061] In the embodiment, in combination with Figure 7As shown, the automatic control center system is in communication connection with the control unit 5, so as to realize remote control of the driving component 3, the movable support 2 and the radio communication equipment 1, and remote control of the longitudinal angle of the radio communication equipment 1. In addition, the angle of the radio communication equipment 1 is remotely controlled, so as to facilitate the staff to adjust the more accurate installation angle of the movable support 2 in the later period, and realize different detection distances of the radio communication equipment 1 by adjusting the different rotation angles of the movable support 2, and improve the detection precision.

[0062] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the driving component 3 comprises a first driving device 31 and a second driving device 32, which are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the movable support 2 and connected with the movable support 2 respectively.

[0063] Specifically, the movable support 2 has two opposite arranged hinged shafts, which are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the movable support 2 and connected with the base 4 respectively.

[0064] The first driving device 31 and the second driving device 32 are connected with the two hinged shafts respectively and drive the hinged shafts to rotate. The first driving device 31 and the second driving device 32 are both motors, and the motor adopts a forward and reverse motor.

[0065] In the embodiment, two driving devices are arranged to be connected with the movable seat, that is, the first driving device 31 and the second driving device 32 are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the movable seat, so as to provide symmetric driving force for the movable seat, improve the stability of the rotation process of the movable seat, and provide sufficient power for the rotation of the movable seat.

[0066] The radio communication equipment 1 can adopt a fixed radar, a swing radar or a rotary radar, and the specific description can be referred to the above description of the radar in the embodiments.

[0067] In the embodiment, the movable support 2 can carry various radars, and by installing the direction adjusting device on the ship, the direction adjusting device can adjust the angle of the movable support 2 and the radars installed on the movable support 2 according to the attitude information of the ship, so that the radars can adapt to the floating of the ship on the water surface. In the case that the water surface floats greatly when the ship sails at high sea and high speed, the control unit 5 can compare the changes of the attitude information of the ship collected by the first information collection unit and the rotation angle information of the movable support 2 collected by the second information collection unit 6, and then control the driving part 3 to drive the movable support 2 to rotate relative to the base 4, so that the movable support 2 can drive the radars to rotate and rotate to a position where the radars can scan the real target, so as to adjust the installation angle of the radars at any time, so as to adapt to the installation requirements of different ships. The direction adjusting device of the radio communication equipment can adjust the rotation angle of the radars relative to the ship body according to the attitude of the ship, and then adjust the scanning angle, so that the radars can also detect the real target when the ship sails at high sea and high speed, and the radars are more flexible to use, which is helpful to improve the accuracy of radar detection and reduce the generation of clutter.

[0068] The application also provides a ship, which comprises a radio communication equipment 1, a ship body, and the radio communication equipment direction adjusting device in each of the above embodiments. The radio communication equipment 1 is installed on the movable support 2, and the base 4 is installed on the ship body.

[0069] The ship in the embodiment can adjust the rotation angle of the radio communication equipment 1 relative to the ship body according to the attitude of the ship, and then adjust the scanning angle, so that the radio communication equipment 1 can also detect the real target when the ship sails at high sea and high speed, and the radio communication equipment 1 is more flexible to use, which is helpful to improve the accuracy of radar detection and reduce the generation of clutter.

[0070] The application also provides a radio communication equipment direction adjusting method, which is applied to the ship in the above embodiments, and refers to the ship shown in Figure 7 The radio communication equipment direction adjusting method comprises the following steps:

[0071] In step S01, the attitude information of the ship is obtained by the first information collection unit.

[0072] Specifically, the first information collection unit can adopt an angle sensor, and the attitude information of the ship includes the trim angle of the ship body. By installing the angle sensor on the ship body, the continuously changing trim angle of the ship during the sailing process can be obtained.

[0073] The first information acquisition unit can be a control module independent of the self-control system of the ship, or can be an angle sensor in the self-control system of the ship for acquiring the attitude of the ship. When the angle sensor of the ship is used, the control unit 5 is in communication connection with the angle sensor of the ship.

[0074] It should be noted that the trim angle is the angle between the waterline surface when the ship is floating and the waterline surface after trimming, and the trimming refers to the floating state when the longitudinal section of the ship is perpendicular to the static water surface, but the transverse section is at a trim angle with the vertical plane. Generally, the ship is inclined to the bow direction, which is called "bow inclination", and the corresponding trim angle is positive; the ship is inclined to the stern direction, which is called "stern inclination", and the corresponding trim angle is negative; the trim angle is related to the longitudinal metacentric radius.

[0075] In step S02, the rotation angle information of the movable support 2 is acquired by the second information acquisition unit 6.

[0076] The second information acquisition unit 6 can adopt an angle sensor, and the second information acquisition unit 6 can be provided with two, respectively located on both sides of the movable support 2 and close to the hinge shaft position of the base 4.

[0077] The second acquisition unit is installed on the movable support 2 to acquire the rotation angle or rotation angle information of the movable support 2 relative to the base 4. The rotation angle is the rotation angle of the movable support 2 relative to the base 4 in the longitudinal plane, which can be understood as the longitudinal rotation angle of the movable support 2.

[0078] The rotation angle of the movable support 2 includes positive and negative angles. Taking the waterline surface when the ship is floating as the reference, when the ship is stationary on the horizontal plane and the radio communication equipment 1 can point to the target, the rotation angle of the movable support 2 is 0°, and the angle of the movable support 2 after clockwise or counterclockwise rotation relative to the base 4 is set as the positive or negative angle.

[0079] Therefore, it can be understood that the driving part 3 for driving the movable support 2 to rotate can drive the movable support 2 to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. In the case of using a motor as the driving part 3, the motor can adopt a forward and reverse rotation motor.

[0080] In step S03, the angle information of the movable support 2 is compared with the attitude information of the ship, and the driving part 3 is controlled to drive the movable support 2 to rotate a preset angle relative to the base 4, wherein the attitude information includes the trim angle information.

[0081] Specifically, the control unit 5 acquires the angle information of the movable support 2 and the attitude information of the ship, compares the angle information of the movable support 2 with the attitude information, controls the driving component 3 to drive the movable support 2 to rotate according to the difference of the comparison, and determines the angle of the movable support 2 according to the size of the difference.

[0082] The control unit 5 can be a PLC controller, and the control unit 5 can be communicatively connected with a self-control center system arranged on the shore, so as to transmit preset data of the control unit 5 according to an instruction of the self-control center system.

[0083] In step S00, before acquiring the rotation angle information of the movable support 2, an initial target angle value of the movable support 2 is acquired.

[0084] The initial target angle value refers to the angle that the bow of the ship needs to be warped when the ship is docked on the shore or before the ship sets off, and the initial target angle value needs to be considered before the ship sets off, so as to adaptively adjust the rotation angle value of the movable support 2.

[0085] The radio communication device direction adjusting method in the embodiment can be selectively applied to an automatically driven ship, a boat, a warship, or other ships, commonly known as unmanned ships. The biggest advantage of the unmanned ship is that it can autonomously navigate on the water surface according to a preset task and can autonomously avoid obstacles. To achieve autonomous obstacle avoidance, it is necessary to collect environmental information around the ship. The most commonly used radio communication device 1 is a navigation radar. The effective angle of a fixed radar is generally only ±25° or so. The ship adds the movable support 2, the base 4, and the driving component 3, and collects the attitude information of the ship through the first information collection unit and collects the rotation angle information of the movable support 2 through the second information collection unit 6. The rotation angle of the movable support 2 and the radio communication device 1 thereon is adaptively adjusted according to the attitude information of the ship, thereby reducing the influence of sea conditions or speed on the radio communication device 1, reducing the probability of clutter of the radio communication device 1 of the ship, improving the safety of ship navigation, and reducing the probability of traffic accidents.

[0086] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and only the technical principles of the present application are specifically described. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present application and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present application in any way. Based on the explanations herein, any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application, and other specific embodiments of the present application that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without creative labor, should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
