[0009] Preferably, the controller controls the propulsion system in the following manner: compare the current positioning information with the target position, plan the shortest straight-line route, control the water jet propulsion device to spray water at high speed so that the hull can sail at high speed along the route, and when the sea surface wind and ocean current affect the device to cause the heading to deviate, control the steering gear to adjust the water jet propulsion direction to correct the sailing direction so that the device can move toward the target position.

In addition, the internal cavity of the balancing compartment is completely sealed under the action of the sea surface seal, which can form air damping, generate resistance against overturning, and force the hull to right itself; when the device is on the sea surface, if the hull is overturned and turned upside down due to severe wind or waves, during the overturning process, one side of the balancing compartment will first scoop water downwards and then be filled with water upwards, that is, one side of the balancing compartment is full of water and the other side of the balancing compartment is empty. At this time, the full water will generate a downward force arm, causing the hull to tip to one side. At the same time, the cargo box moves from high to low, releasing potential energy, causing the hull to tip faster, thereby completing the righting in one go.

[0014] The device combines an arched top cover with a boat-shaped bottom shell to provide a huge storage space. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Balance compartments 10 are provided on both sides of the exterior of the boat-shaped bottom shell 5. The balance compartments 10 are used to prevent overturning. Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the interior of the balancing compartment 10 is a cavity 21, the lower end surface is a flat wave plate 17 with air holes 18, and the other surfaces are closed. The flat wave plate 17 is above the waterline. In this embodiment, preferably: Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, flanges 19 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the boat-shaped bottom shell 5, and the balancing bulkhead 10 is composed of a C-shaped folded plate 20, an end sealing plate 22, the flange 19 of the boat-shaped bottom shell 5 and adjacent side plates; the opening of the C-shaped folded plate 20 faces the boat-shaped bottom shell 5, the upper end of the C-shaped folded plate 20 is connected and fixed on the flange 19 to form the upper end surface of the balancing bulkhead 10, the lower end is provided with an air vent 18 to form the flat wave plate 17 of the balancing bulkhead 10, the middle section forms the outward side surface of the balancing bulkhead 10, the side plates adjacent to the flange 19 on the boat-shaped bottom shell 5 form the inward side surface of the balancing bulkhead 10, the end sealing plates 22 are provided at the front and rear ends of the C-shaped folded plate 20 and form the two end surfaces of the balancing bulkhead 10, this arrangement is convenient for the manufacture and installation of the balancing bulkhead 10, and can also avoid directly punching holes on the side surface of the boat-shaped bottom shell 5.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, cargo platform connectors 7 are provided on both sides of the exterior of the ship-shaped bottom shell 5 , and the cargo platform connectors 7 are used to connect to the cargo platform connectors 7 of the cargo platform 6 .

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a parachute placement platform 2 is provided outside the arched top cover 4, and the parachute placement platform 2 is used to place a parachute.

[0027] The exterior of the arched top cover 4 is provided with a positioning communication system, which is used to achieve positioning and communication.

When the device is on the sea, if it encounters severe wind or waves that cause the hull to tip over to one side, the flat wave board 17 on the overturned side will Submerged below the sea surface, it plays a role in slowing down the waves on the water surface. In addition, the internal cavity 21 of the balancing compartment 10 is completely sealed under the action of the sea surface seal, which can form air damping, generate resistance to overturning, and force the hull to right itself. When the device is on the sea surface, if it encounters severe wind or waves that cause the hull to roll over and turn upside down, during the rollover process, one side of the balancing compartment 10 will first scoop water downwards and then fill it with water upwards, that is, one side of the balancing compartment 10 is full of water and the other side of the balancing compartment 10 is empty. At this time, the filled water will generate a downward force arm, causing the hull to tip to one side. At the same time, the cargo box 13 moves from a high place to a low place, releasing potential energy, causing the hull to tip faster, thereby completing the righting in one go. Therefore, the device can cooperate with airdrops to achieve rapid sea rescue, and can use the balancing compartment 10 to resist severe sea conditions and prevent rollover.
