AI Technical Summary
When the traction motor drive system or brake motor drive system of an underwater unmanned sub-platform fails, it is prone to continue moving due to inertia, which may lead to a collision with the parent platform. Existing technologies make it difficult to stop the movement quickly and safely.
A coordinated control method using traction motor drive system and brake motor drive system is adopted. By combining mechanical brakes and electric brakes, safe motion control is achieved in case of failure. This includes measures such as traction motor reversal, low torque mode, and rapid deceleration of brake motor to ensure the wire rope remains taut.
It achieves fast, reliable, and safe sub-platform motion control in the event of motor drive system failure, avoiding collisions and possessing fast response, reliability, and safety.
