Once equipped with advanced control systems, sensor systems, communication systems, and weapon systems, it can perform various war and non-war military tasks, such as reconnaissance, search, detection, and mine clearance; search and rescue, navigation, and hydrographic survey; anti-submarine warfare, anti-special operations, as well as patrol, anti-piracy, and anti-terrorism attacks.

[0003] Due to the shallow draft and strong maneuverability of the unmanned surface vessel, it can excellently perform tasks such as marine surveying and mapping, providing marine geographical information, data, and basic graphics, detecting marine meteorological elements, marine water quality elements, marine biological elements, etc., providing timely and comprehensive information for the country to take disaster relief measures in a timely manner, and facilitating the cruise protection of marine economic targets and the monitoring of illegal marine activities. Therefore, the development and utilization of unmanned surface vessels are of great significance.

A fixing opening is formed in the inner wall on one side of the lifting seat 8. A driving motor 407 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing opening. The output shaft of the driving motor 407 is connected to a driving gear 406 through a coupling. A worm rod member 404 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the driving gear 406. The worm rod member 404 meshes with the worm gear 405. A cable fixing member 408 is provided on the UAV body 3. A gear locking member 411 is connected to the outer wall of the cable fixing member 408 through threads. Four link members 410 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the gear locking member 411. The ends of the four link members 410 are fixedly connected to the same limiting ring 409. The inner wall of the limiting ring 409 is in contact with the outer wall of the cable fixing member 408.

One end of the elastic cable end 415 is fixedly connected to a lifting cable 9. One end of the lifting cable 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the winding roller 17.

[0029] Specifically, during recovery, the UAV body 3 lands on the lifting seat 8. At this time, the gear locking part 411 meshes with the driving gear 406. The driving motor 407 is started, and the driving motor 407 drives the driving gear 406 and the worm rod 404 to rotate, and the driving gear 406 drives the gear locking part 411 to rotate, making the gear locking part 411 loose. At this time, the hydraulic rod 419 is started, and the hydraulic rod 419 drives the cable clamping part 420 to clamp and fix the elastic cable end 415.

At this time, the worm rod 404 drives the worm gear 405 to rotate, and then drives the transmission rod 414 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the transmission wheel 413, the transmission belt 412 and the driven wheel 417, the shaft rod 418 is driven to rotate, and then the lifting roller 403 is driven to wind up the lifting cable 9 until the recovery of the unmanned boat body 7 is completed. When the unmanned boat body 7 is lowered and operated, the elastic cable end 415 can be reconnected to the cable fixing part 408 by moving the electric push rod 401, and the UAV body 3 can be reconnected to the lifting cable 9 by reversing the driving gear 406, further increasing the automation effect of the device;

[0030] In a specific application scenario, the convenient recovery module 4 is applicable to the disassembly and reinstallation of the lifting cable 9 for the recovery of the unmanned boat. That is, when the convenient recovery module 4 is used, it can automatically disassemble the lifting cable 9 installed on the UAV body 3, and after the lifting cable 9 is disassembled, the device can automatically reinstall it on the recovery equipment, thereby increasing the convenience effect of the device during use. And during lifting and recovery, the convenient recovery module 4 can increase the automation effect of the device, reduce the working intensity of the staff during the recovery operation, so as to increase the use effect of the device, and further improve the lifting and recovery efficiency when the device is running;

[0031] It should be noted that after the gear locking part 411 is loosened, the connecting rod 410 and the limiting ring 409 can prevent it from falling off, so as to facilitate the connection of the lifting cable 9, the elastic cable end 415 and the cable fixing part 408 during the subsequent use of the unmanned boat.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7, in a preferred embodiment, the stagnation and stabilization module 6 includes mounting brackets 601. The two mounting brackets 601 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer walls of one side of the two mounting frames 16. Inside each of the two mounting brackets 601, there is fixedly connected a mounting rod 605. The outer walls of the two mounting rods 605 are respectively connected with a stabilizing pressing plate 604 through bearings. And the top of the unmanned boat body 7 is fixedly connected with a stagnation plate seat 607, and the stagnation plate seat 607 is located between the two mounting brackets 601. A stepping motor 602 is arranged on the top of the unmanned boat body 7. The output shaft of the stepping motor 602 is connected with a winding member 608 through a coupling. There are two fixing ribs 603 arranged on the winding member 608. One ends of the two fixing ribs 603 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottoms of the two stabilizing pressing plates 604. And torsion springs 606 are arranged on the outer walls of the two mounting rods 605. One ends of the two torsion springs 606 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of one sides of the two mounting brackets 601. The other ends of the two torsion springs 606 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer walls of one sides of the two stabilizing pressing plates 604. A first motor 15 is fixedly connected to one of the mounting frames 16. And the output shaft of the first motor 15 is connected with the outer wall of one side of the winding roller 17 through a coupling.

[0033] Specifically, when the unmanned boat body 7 conducts ocean exploration, the unmanned aerial vehicle body 3 lands on the stagnation plate seat 607. At this time, starting the stepping motor 602 can drive the winding member 608 to wind, and then wind the fixing rib 603 through the winding member 608. At this time, the fixing rib 603 can drive the stabilizing pressing plate 604 to rotate on the mounting rod 605, so as to fix the bottom bracket of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 3 by the stabilizing pressing plate 604. At the same time, the first motor 15 is started, and the first motor 15 can drive the winding roller 17 to wind the hoisting cable 9 to prevent the hoisting cable 9 from being scattered. Until the unmanned boat body 7 is recovered, at this time the fixing rib 603 loosens, and the torsion spring 606 can drive the stabilizing pressing plate 604 to unfold, so as to facilitate the start of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 3.

At the same time, it avoids the subsequent inability to hoist and recover due to the damage of the unmanned aerial vehicle, so as to increase the practicability and use effect of the device. And when the unmanned boat body 7 is in use, the device can wind the hoisting cable 9 to prevent the hoisting cable 9 from being scattered and falling into the sea water, further improving the use effect of the device.

[0035] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8, in a preferred embodiment, electric telescopic rods 12 are provided on both of the two movable block members 11. The output ends of the two electric telescopic rods 12 are fixedly connected to the same fixed clamping rod 13. A plurality of stable openings 2 are formed in the outer walls on both sides of the recovery seat frame 1, and the fixed clamping rod 13 is clamped with two of the stable openings 2. A fixed bracket 20 is fixedly connected to the recovery seat frame 1. A second motor 21 is provided on the fixed bracket 20, and the output shaft of the second motor 21 is connected to a winding wheel 19 through a coupling. A connecting line 22 is provided on the inner wall of the winding wheel 19. One end of the connecting line 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the lifting seat 8. A circular hole is formed in the inner wall of one side of the recovery seat frame 1. The connecting line 22 is located inside the circular hole. Two pressure springs 18 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the recovery seat frame 1. One end of each of the two pressure springs 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the lifting seat 8. The two pressure springs 18 are respectively located on both sides of the connecting line 22.

[0036] Specifically, during use, the second motor 21 is started. The second motor 21 drives the winding wheel 19 to wind or loosen the connecting line 22, so as to cooperate with the pressure springs 18 to make the lifting seat 8 move inside the recovery seat frame 1. At this time, the movable block member 11 moves inside the movable opening 5. When it moves to a suitable position, the electric telescopic rod 12 extends or retracts, so that the electric telescopic rod 12 drives the fixed clamping rod 13 to enter the stable opening 2, so that the fixed clamping rod 13 is clamped with the stable opening 2, and then the position of the lifting seat 8 is fixed to perform subsequent lifting.

[0037] In a specific application scenario, when the device is in use, the position of the lifting seat 8 can be adjusted through the pressure springs 18 and the connecting line 22, so as to adjust the distance between the unmanned boat and the mother ship according to the size of the unmanned boat body 7 during the operation of lifting and recovery, so as to avoid the unmanned boat body 7 colliding with the hull of the mother ship during recovery, so as to increase the safety effect when the device is in use. And when performing lifting adjustment, the position of the lifting seat 8 can be fixed through the electric telescopic rod 12, the fixed clamping rod 13 and the stable opening 2 to ensure the stability of the device operation.

[0038] Working principle: When in use, start the second motor 21. The second motor 21 drives the winding wheel 19 to wind or loosen the connecting wire 22, so as to cooperate with the pressure spring 18 to make the lifting seat 8 move inside the recovery seat frame 1. At this time, the movable block 11 moves inside the movable port 5. When it moves to a suitable position, the electric telescopic rod 12 extends and retracts, so that the electric telescopic rod 12 drives the fixed clamping rod 13 into the stable port 2, so that the fixed clamping rod 13 is clamped with the stable port 2, and then the position of the lifting seat 8 is fixed to carry out subsequent lifting; When recovering, the UAV body 3 falls on the lifting seat 8. At this time, the gear lock 411 meshes with the driving gear 406. Start the driving motor 407. The driving motor 407 drives the driving gear 406 and the worm rod 404 to rotate, and makes the driving gear 406 drive the gear lock 411 to rotate, so that the gear lock 411 is loosened. At this time, the hydraulic rod 419 is started. The hydraulic rod 419 drives the cable clamping member 420 to clamp and fix the elastic cable end 415. After fixation, the electric push rod 401 operates until the elastic cable end 415 is separated from the cable fixing member 408. At the same time, the worm rod 404 meshes with the worm gear 405. At this time, the worm rod 404 drives the worm gear 405 to rotate, and then drives the transmission rod 414 to rotate and cooperate with the transmission wheel 413, the transmission belt 412 and the driven wheel 417 to make the shaft rod 418 rotate, and then drives the lifting roller 403 to wind the lifting cable 9 until the unmanned boat body 7 is lifted and recovered; When the unmanned boat body conducts ocean exploration, the UAV body 3 falls on the stagnant plate seat 607.
