Compared with hydraulic systems, maintenance work is significantly reduced, and pollution caused by hydraulic oil leakage is significantly reduced, which is more environmentally friendly. The equipment delivery cycle is shorter. The underwater equipment deployment and recovery system 100 of the present invention is an integrated structure, which reduces the hydraulic pump station and optimizes the utilization of the deck space.
[0042] Specifically, the A-frame unit 23 further includes a swing link 3, one end of which is rotatably connected to the support 1, and the other end of the swing link 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the main arm 2 close to the auxiliary arm 4, and the rotation axis of the swing link 3 and the support 1 is parallel to the rotation axis of the main arm 2 and the support 1. The A-frame unit 23 is provided with the swing link 3, and the swing link 3 is used to drive the main arm 2 to swing, thereby improving the structural stability of the A-frame unit 23, and further improving the working reliability of the underwater equipment deployment and recovery system 100.

[0044] More specifically, the A frame unit 23 also includes a swing motor group, a swing driving gear 17, a swing cam 15 and a swing outer gear ring 16. The swing motor group is arranged in the swing motor compartment 14 of the support 1. The output end of the swing motor group is connected to the swing driving gear 17. The connecting rod bracket shaft 6 is hinged to the protruding end of the swing cam 15. The camshaft of the swing cam 15 is connected to the swing outer gear ring 16. The swing outer gear ring 16 is meshed with the swing driving gear 17. For details, see Figure 5The swing motor group drives the swing driving gear 17 to rotate, and the swing driving gear 17 is meshed with the swing outer gear ring 16, and the swing outer gear ring 16 is connected to the swing cam 15, thereby driving the swing cam 15 to rotate, and the swing cam 15 drives the connecting rod bracket shaft 6 hinged thereto to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the swing connecting rod 3 to rotate, and the swing connecting rod 3 swings, thereby driving the main arm 2 to swing, adjusting the angle of the A frame unit 23 to meet the requirements of the deployment and recovery of underwater equipment.
[0045] In order to ensure the structural strength of the A-frame unit 23, the main arm 2 is a T-shaped columnar structure to ensure that the A-frame unit 23 can provide stable support for the anti-sway unit. The top of the main arm 2 has a sliding channel that allows the auxiliary arm 4 to pass through. One end of the auxiliary arm 4 can slide through the sliding channel. The auxiliary arm 4 uses the sliding channel to achieve sliding connection with the main arm 2, avoiding problems such as slippage and dislocation during the reciprocating sliding process, improving the reciprocating sliding accuracy of the auxiliary arm 4, and improving the telescopic movement reliability of the A-frame unit 23. The auxiliary arm 4 reciprocates relative to the main arm 2 to achieve the telescopic movement of the A-frame unit 23 to meet the requirements of the deployment and recovery of underwater equipment and improve the working reliability of the system.
[0046] In this specific embodiment, the cross section of the sliding channel is rectangular, which avoids rotational dislocation during the reciprocating sliding of the auxiliary arm 4, and further ensures the reliability of the telescopic movement of the A frame unit 23. In other specific embodiments that can be realized by the present invention, the cross-sectional shape of the sliding channel can also be polygonal or special-shaped, and the cross-sectional shape of the auxiliary arm 4 matches the cross-sectional shape of the sliding channel, effectively avoiding rotational dislocation during the reciprocating sliding of the auxiliary arm 4 and improving the movement accuracy of the auxiliary arm 4.
[0047] Furthermore, the A-frame unit 23 also includes a telescopic motor group 11, a screw bracket 10, a telescopic screw 9 and a threaded tube 8.

During the operation of the system, the telescopic and retracting of the A-frame unit 23 is smoothly realized, and the deployment and recovery of the underwater equipment are completed. The telescopic screw 9 of the present invention cooperates with the screw bracket 10 and the threaded tube 8, and while smoothly transmitting the force, it provides an additional guide for the reciprocating sliding of the auxiliary arm 4, further improving the sliding movement reliability of the auxiliary arm 4.
[0048] It should also be noted that in order to further improve the structural stability and working reliability of the system, the auxiliary arm 4 is an inverted U-shaped structure. The auxiliary arm 4 includes a crossbeam and two arms symmetrically arranged on both sides of the crossbeam. The main arm 2 corresponds to the arm one by one to ensure the stability of the telescopic and swinging movements of the A-frame unit 23.

In practical applications, real-time monitoring of the system status, automated operation, offshore remote control, etc. can be achieved. When one or more electrical components are damaged, an alarm can also be issued to ensure the continuous operation of the system to the greatest extent.
[0051] In this specific embodiment, the A-frame unit 23, the anti-swing unit and the winch unit 20 all include a controller 19, and each controller 19 can control the swing motor group, the telescopic motor group 11, the anti-swing motor group 13 and the drum motor group respectively to control the working state of the system.

The underwater equipment deployment and recovery system according to claim 8, characterized in that: The A-frame unit, the anti-sway unit and the winch unit all include a controller, the control unit includes an integrated control box and a machine-side control console, the integrated control box is arranged on the support, the machine-side control console is arranged on the integrated control box, the controller is connected to the integrated control box by a communication cable, and the communication cable is arranged in a line collection channel.
10. A control method for an underwater equipment deployment and recovery system, characterized in that: The underwater equipment deployment and recovery system according to any one of claims 1 to 9 comprises the following steps: S1. Operation equipment is transferred to the operating sea surface The swing motor group is in motion, and the swing motor group drives the position of one end of the swing connecting rod to change, thereby causing the The position of the other end of the swing link and the main arm hinge changes, thereby driving the main arm to complete the swing action; While the movement is in progress, the jib is driven to complete the telescopic movement, driving the operating equipment to swing and telescope to the operating sea surface at the same time. ; S2. Action of the anti-swing docking device during deployment and recovery The anti-sway docking device can adjust the orientation of the operating equipment to adapt to a suitable operating position, and when the operation starts, it works in conjunction with the winch unit to start the deployment and recovery operation of the equipment; The anti-swing motor group connected to the auxiliary arm drives the anti-swing docking device to rotate to reduce the swing of the operating equipment during the docking process.
