[0007] The use of workers for the installation process of the towline construction connection towline ear plate is avoided.
[0008] The installation process comprises the following steps.
[0009] Step 1: a towing triangular plate is placed on the unmanned ship main platform, the three sides of the towing triangular plate are clamped with three limiting plates, the towing triangular plate is corresponding to the lifting mechanism on the unmanned ship main platform, two towlines are connected to the triangular plate, and the ends of the two towlines are on the mechanical arm.
[0010] The installation process further comprises the following step 2: the unmanned ship main platform is controlled to travel to a position away from the floating body.
[0011] The installation process further comprises the following step 3: a sensor on the unmanned ship main platform identifies and locates the towline ear plate on the floating body.
[0012] The installation process further comprises the following step 4: the mechanical arm is controlled to drive the towline to be connected to the towline ear plate on the floating body.
[0013] The installation process further comprises the following step 5: the mechanical arm is retracted, the lifting mechanism lifts the towing triangular plate to separate the three limiting plates, the unmanned ship main platform drives away from the floating body, and the installation of the towline on the towline ear plate on the floating body is completed.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present application are further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to the description.
[0020] As Figs. 1 to 3 shown.
[0021] A long-distance floating wind turbine tow cable connection point rapid installation method of the present application, comprising:
[0022] Step one, the tow triangle plate 6 is placed on the unmanned ship main platform 3, the tow triangle plate 6 is in close contact with the three limiting plates 4 on three sides, and the tow triangle plate 6 is in close contact with the corresponding lifting mechanism 5 on the bottom of the unmanned ship main platform 3. The lifting mechanism can overcome the clamping contact force of the limiting plate 4 and push out and fall off the triangle plate 6. Two long cables 7 are connected to the triangle plate 6, and the ends of the two long cables 7 are on the mechanical arm 1.
[0023] Step two, control the unmanned ship main platform 3 to travel to a position away from the float 9, so that the float 9 has a certain interval distance from the unmanned ship main platform 3 without contact and collision.
[0024] Step three, the sensor 2 on the unmanned ship main platform 3 identifies and locates the tow cable ear plate 8 on the float 9.
[0025] Step four, control the mechanical arm 1 to drive the long cable 7 to connect with the tow cable ear plate 8 on the float 9.
[0026] Step five, the mechanical arm 1 is retrieved, the lifting mechanism 5 lifts the drag triangle plate 6 to separate from the three limiting plates 4, the unmanned ship main platform 3 drives away from the floating body 9, and the completion of the long hair cable 7 and the installation of the drag cable ear plate 8 on the floating body 9; At this time, the triangle plate 6 falls off from the unmanned ship main platform 3 to float on the sea surface. When the floating body 9 needs to be towed, the hooking triangle plate 6 can tow the floating body 9.
