In addition, the power generation mechanism 8 can also adopt other underwater self-generating devices on the market, as long as underwater power generation can be achieved.

[0039] Among the optional schemes of this embodiment, it is more preferred that the deep-sea unpowered buoyancy rescue device provided by the present invention also includes a first power storage component arranged in the buoyancy main body 1, and the first power storage component is electrically connected to the connecting mechanism 3, the sensing mechanism 4, the signal receiving mechanism 5, the attitude control mechanism 6 and the control component 7 and can provide the required electrical energy; and the first power storage component is electrically connected to the power generation mechanism 8 and can receive and store the electrical energy of the power generation mechanism 8; specifically, the first power storage component is configured as a small lithium-ion battery, which is sealed in the buoyancy main body 1, and the power generation mechanism 8 is connected to it through a waterproof wire. The small lithium-ion battery has the characteristics of high energy density, lightness and long life, so as to reduce the overall weight. At the same time, the power generation mechanism 8 and the first power storage component serve as backups for each other, and can supply power to the whole during the buoyancy process.

[0040] In the optional scheme of this embodiment, it is more preferred that a second power storage component 21 is provided in the counterweight mechanism 2, and the second power storage component 21 can be electrically connected to the power generation mechanism 8 through the connecting mechanism 3, and the second power storage component 21 can receive and store the electric energy of the power generation mechanism 8; and the second power storage component 21 can also be electrically connected to the sensing mechanism 4, the signal receiving mechanism 5, the attitude control mechanism 6 and the control component 7 through the connecting mechanism 3 and provide the required electric energy, and can provide the electric energy required by the connecting mechanism 3; by providing the second power storage component 21, the excess power generated by the power generation mechanism 8 in the standby state in the sea can be stored, and the whole power can be electrically charged in the standby state. power supply; wherein the control component 7 is connected to the first power storage component and the second power storage component 21 to control the power supply status of the first power storage component and the second power storage component 21; the second power storage component 21 uses a low-cost waterproof lead-acid battery with long-term storage capacity, such as common 12V12AH, 12V20AH and other models, which have the characteristics of low cost, long-term storage, high deadweight and the like. If the dead weight of the second power storage component 21 meets the counterweight requirement, there is no need to set it as other counterweight blocks. If it does not meet the requirement, a waterproof counterweight shell such as concrete material can be set on the second power storage component 21, and the second power storage component 21 is sealed in the counterweight shell to increase the counterweight to meet the usage requirements.

[0041] In the optional scheme of this embodiment, it is more preferred that the connecting mechanism 3 is connected to the power generation mechanism 8, and the connection points of the connecting mechanism 3 and the counterweight mechanism 2 are both provided with connection contacts. When the connecting mechanism 3 is connected to the counterweight mechanism 2, the connection contacts are electrically conductive so that the power generation mechanism 8 and the second power storage component 21 are electrically conductive; specifically, the connecting mechanism 3 is configured as a connecting rod as a whole, the upper end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the shell of the lower end of the power generation mechanism 8, and the lower end of the connecting rod is detachably connected to the counterweight mechanism 2. Specifically, the lower end of the connecting rod can be plugged into the counterweight mechanism 2, and the connection points of the lower end of the connecting rod and the counterweight mechanism 2 are both provided with connection contacts and an electromagnetic suction module, wherein the electromagnetic suction module is connected to the power generation mechanism 8. The electric mechanism 8 or the first electricity storage component is electrically connected, the connection contacts on the counterweight mechanism 2 are electrically connected to the second electricity storage component 21, and the connection contacts on the connecting rod are electrically connected to the power generation mechanism 8 through the wires arranged inside the connecting rod. When the connecting rod is inserted into the counterweight mechanism 2, the connection contacts are electrically connected, and the power generation mechanism 8 is electrically connected to the second electricity storage component 21 to realize power transmission. The connection contacts can be set as a waterproof plug and socket; the electromagnetic suction module adopts conventional components and is communicated with the control component 7. When the electromagnetic suction module is powered on, the connecting rod and the counterweight mechanism 2 are magnetically attracted. When the electromagnetic suction module is powered off, the floating body 1 automatically floats under the action of buoyancy.

[0042] In the optional scheme of this embodiment, it is more preferred that the buoyancy body 1 is set to be streamlined, the interior of the buoyancy body 1 is hollow, and the outer wall of the buoyancy body 1 has a marking part; in order to ensure the storage and protection conditions required for the long-term deployment of the equipment, it is made of conventional underwater pressure-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials. At the same time, in order to meet the buoyancy speed requirements during the buoyancy process, a streamlined design is adopted to reduce resistance, and corresponding installation holes are reserved for the sensing mechanism 4, the signal receiving mechanism 5, and the attitude control mechanism 6. In addition, the buoyancy body 1 adopts a low-density, hollow, high-contrast color, i.e., the marking part design, such as a carbon fiber composite material with a specific hollow structure design or a titanium alloy with a porous structure, which maintains a high mechanical strength while reducing the density. After approaching the rescue target and being opened in a controlled manner, it still has a certain buoyancy and carrying capacity, which can provide buoyancy support for the rescued personnel and facilitate the search between the rescued personnel and the rescuers; the buoyancy body 1 can withstand long-term corrosion from seawater and keep its own functions intact, while effectively avoiding the attachment of organisms and being environmentally friendly as a whole.

[0043] In the optional solutions of this embodiment, it is more preferred that the sensing mechanism 4 and the signal receiving mechanism 5 are both circumferentially arranged at the front end of the buoyant body 1 to facilitate all-round exploration or signal reception.

[0044] Specifically, in order to ensure the long-term storage requirements of the device, the signal receiving mechanism 5 adopts a low-power receiving device. The signal receiving mechanism 5 adopts an existing specialized underwater acoustic communication device. The core part of the device is a hydrophone, which can convert sound waves into electrical signals. It is usually composed of one or more piezoelectric ceramic elements distributed around the floating body 1. These elements will generate voltage when subjected to sound wave pressure. Since the underwater sound wave signal may be very weak, the underwater acoustic communication equipment usually includes a low-noise pre-amplifier to enhance the signal without introducing too much noise. The received electrical signal needs to be filtered, amplified and digitized, and sent to the control component 7 for subsequent decoding and analysis; in addition, the signal receiving mechanism 5 can also adopt other underwater communication devices on the market, as long as underwater communication can be achieved.

[0045] Specifically, in order to meet the demand for locating the rescue target, the sensing mechanism 4 adopts the existing high-precision sonar sensing and detection device to ensure the positioning accuracy. At the same time, it needs to have a certain information processing capability to identify and lock the rescue target. The sonar sensing and detection device can use sonar to detect targets and is specifically used for detecting, locating and identifying underwater targets. The sonar system includes one or more transmitters distributed around the buoyant body 1 for generating sound wave pulses. These transmitters can be transducers, which can convert electrical signals into sound waves. At the same time, the transducers can not only act as transmitters but also as receivers. They can emit sound wave pulses and receive these echoes when the sound waves are reflected back by the target. Subsequently, the sound wave signal received by the signal processing unit is amplified, filtered and digitized. Finally, the received sound wave signal is analyzed using a data processing program to extract the target's position, speed and other or predicted position information and send it to the control component 7, and the information is passed to the attitude control system 4 to control the attitude control system. In addition, the sensing mechanism 4 can also adopt other detection devices on the market as long as it can achieve target detection and positioning.

[0046] In the optional scheme of this embodiment, it is more preferred that the attitude control mechanism 6 includes a driving mechanism and a plurality of swept wings 61 movably arranged on the tail wall of the buoyant body 1, the driving mechanism is communicated with the control component 7, and the driving mechanism can control the deflection of the swept wings 61 relative to the buoyant body 1, and the steering of the buoyant body 1 is achieved by controlling the deflection of the corresponding swept wings 61.

[0047] Specifically, four or more swept wings 61 are used to enhance the stability and maneuverability of the buoyant body 1. The swept wings 61 can be made of a carbon fiber composite material with a specific hollow structure design or a porous titanium alloy. This reduces density while maintaining high mechanical strength, reducing weight and increasing speed while maintaining structural strength. At the same time, the rudder surface can use a triangular swept wing structure to further reduce the impact on the buoyancy speed. The swept wings 61 also need to have a certain area to provide sufficient control force. When maneuvering is required, the drive mechanism controls the swept wings 61 to deflect, generating a force on the rudder surface that causes the stern of the buoyant body 1 to deflect in the direction of the rudder surface deflection, thereby causing the buoyant body 1 to turn. The drive mechanism may include multiple flip motors, which are arranged in the buoyant body 1 and are respectively connected to the multiple swept wings 61 to achieve independent deflection control. The attitude control mechanism 6 can achieve precise control of the attitude and heading of the buoyant body 1 by precisely controlling the deflection angle and duration of the swept wings 61. In addition, the attitude control mechanism 6 can also adopt other attitude control devices on the market as long as they can achieve attitude control.

[0048] In the optional solutions of this embodiment, more preferably, the control component 7 can be controlled by inputting a specified program into a conventional single-chip microcomputer, FPGA or other modules or a dedicated control module.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] This embodiment provides a deep-sea unpowered buoyancy method, based on the deep-sea unpowered buoyancy rescue device of embodiment 1, including the following steps:

[0051] The signal receiving mechanism 5 receives external rescue signals; see Figure 5 The signal receiving mechanism 5 can receive signals from the surrounding areas of the floating body 1 from distant land-based, water-based, and air-based sources, and send the received start signal to the control component 7. The signal receiving mechanism 5 only performs passive signal information reception and does not include an active signal transmitting device. Before the overall system is started, it performs long-term underwater signal information reception and decoding. During this period, the operating power consumption is extremely low, which can support the long-term underwater deployment of this device.

[0052] The control component 7 activates the sensing mechanism 4 according to the external rescue signal to search, match and lock the rescue target;

[0053] After locking the rescue target, the control component 7 controls the connection mechanism 3 to separate the floating body 1 from the counterweight mechanism 2, and the floating body 1 performs unpowered floating;

[0054] During the unpowered buoyancy, the sensing mechanism 4 continuously tracks the rescue target, and the control component 7 controls the attitude control mechanism 6 to control the attitude of the buoyancy body 1; the control component 7 continuously receives signals from the control component 7 and adjusts the buoyancy attitude of the buoyancy body 1 quickly and accurately according to the signals, so that it accurately floats toward the rescue target;

[0055] After approaching the target and after the induction mechanism 4 transmits the start signal, the control component 7 controls the switch door of the material chamber 11 to open, so that the internal rescue materials are released through the switch door.

[0056] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. At the same time, those skilled in the art will find that the specific implementation methods and application scopes may vary based on the concept of the present invention. In summary, the contents of this specification should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
