[0038] In order to more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-10 The present application provides a multifunctional unmanned platform for conveniently folding and unfolding underwater detectors, which comprises a frame body 1, a clamping assembly 2, an induction device 3, a controller 4, and a connecting assembly 5 for external fixation. The controller 4 is used to issue operation instructions to the clamping assembly 2 and the underwater detector 6, and also receives signal feedback instructions from the induction device 3. One end of the frame body 1 is provided with a loading shell 11, which is transversely provided with a receiving channel 111 for storing the underwater detector 6. The clamping assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the front side of the loading shell 11 and located at the front end of the receiving channel 111. The induction device 3 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the loading shell 11 and located at the rear end of the receiving channel 111. The controller 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the frame body 1 and located at one side of the loading shell 11. The controller 4 is electrically connected to the clamping assembly 2 and the induction device 3, respectively. The other end of the frame body 1 is provided with a connecting column 12. The connecting assembly 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting column 12. The connecting column 12 is a structure protruding from the loading shell 11, which provides sufficient installation distance or height for the loading shell 11, so that the loading shell 11 has sufficient space to carry the underwater detector 6. The connecting assembly 5 has two structures. The first structure is that the connecting assembly 5 is provided with a first connecting plate 51, a connecting barrel 52, and a lifting ring 53. The first connecting plate 51 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 12 by bolts. The connecting barrel 52 is used for threading and guiding cables. One end of the connecting barrel 52 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 51. The lifting ring 53 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting barrel 52. This type of connecting assembly 5 can enable the present application to be hung. The second structure is that the connecting assembly 5 is provided with a second connecting plate 54, a support seat 55, and a plurality of plug-in fixing bolts 56. The second connecting plate 54 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 12 by bolts. One end of the support seat 55 is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate 54. The other end of the support seat 55 is fixed to the seabed or the ship bottom by the plurality of plug-in fixing bolts 56.

[0040] In the embodiment, the mounting structure of the frame body 1 as a whole is adopted to mount the controller 4 and the connecting assembly 2, and the connecting assembly 2 can fix the application on the water bottom, the ship bottom, or be hung to diversify the external fixing mode of the application. The loading shell 11 provided on the frame body 1 is the mounting structure of the clamping assembly 2 and the sensing device 3, and the loading shell 11 is also the structure for protecting the underwater detector 6. The receiving channel is provided in the loading shell 11 to store the underwater detector 6. When the application is used, it needs to be first put into water or has been fixed on the ship bottom or the water bottom. When the underwater detector 6 is not put into water, the clamping assembly 2 clamps the underwater detector 6 to fix the underwater detector 6 in the receiving channel 111. At this time, even if the underwater detector 6 generates power or is pushed by water flow, it will not be released from the receiving channel 111. When the underwater detector 6 is put into water, the user can issue an instruction to the controller 4 through a remote controller, and then the controller 4 issues a release instruction to the clamping assembly 2 and a navigation instruction to the underwater detector 6. At this time, the clamping assembly 2 releases the underwater detector 6, and the underwater detector 6 starts to generate a propulsion force to release from the front end of the receiving channel 111 by its own power. When the underwater detector 6 returns, the underwater detector 6 needs to turn to the rear end of the receiving channel 111 and then enter the rear end of the receiving channel 111 straightly. In the entering process, the sensing device 3 senses the fins of the underwater detector 6 and feeds back a signal to the controller 4. The controller 4 issues a clamping instruction to the clamping assembly 2, and the clamping assembly 2 clamps the underwater detector 6 in the receiving channel 111 again to complete the recovery of the underwater detector 6, which is convenient and fast.

[0041] In summary, the multifunctional unmanned platform for conveniently storing and releasing the underwater detector can be conveniently mounted and fixed, and the underwater detector can be conveniently put into water and recovered, which is beneficial to the underwater detection operation of the underwater detector.

[0042] In the embodiment, the surface of the loading shell 11 is provided with a set of indicator lights for prompting the underwater probe 6 to navigate in the returning direction; the front end of the underwater probe 6 is provided with a high-definition camera. When the underwater probe 6 returns, due to the influence of underwater visibility, the high-definition camera in the underwater probe 6 cannot observe the orientation of the loading shell 11 at a distance, resulting in that when navigating towards the loading shell 11, the current navigation direction cannot be known whether the front of the receiving channel 111 is the front end or the rear end, so a set of indicator lights are needed to guide the navigation. In the process of guiding the indicator light set, the underwater probe 6 first turns to a preset distance behind the loading shell 11 according to the guidance of the indicator light set, and then adjusts the orientation so that the underwater probe 6 is collinear with the receiving channel 111, and then the underwater probe 6 directly navigates towards the rear end of the receiving channel 111. Finally, the underwater probe 6 enters from the rear end of the receiving channel 111 and is clamped and fixed in the receiving channel 111 by the clamping assembly 2.

[0043] In the embodiment, the set of indicator lights includes a first indicator light 101, the a first indicator light 101 is arranged on the rear side of the loading shell 11, a≥4, and a is a positive integer multiple of 4, and the a first indicator light 101 forms a rectangle and is distributed at the rear end of the receiving channel 111. The receiving channel 111 is located in the central region of the rectangle, and the first indicator light 101 is electrically connected with the controller 4; if a=4, the four first indicator lights 101 form a rectangle, and the receiving channel 111 is located in the center of the rectangle. When the underwater probe 6 returns, if the underwater probe 6 watches four light-emitting points in front, it can be determined that this navigation direction is the direction of entering the receiving channel 111, and then the underwater probe 6 still needs to adjust itself when navigating, for example, if the four light-emitting points form a diamond shape, it indicates that the underwater probe 6 has a deflection angle in the vertical direction and needs to adjust its posture to adjust itself. When adjusting, if the four light-emitting points form a rectangle, the adjustment is completed, and the underwater probe 6 can directly navigate in a straight line until it enters the receiving channel 111.

[0044] In the embodiment, the indicator light group comprises a plurality of arc-shaped indicator lights 102, which are located on the rear side of the loading shell 11, encircle the rear end surface of the accommodation channel 111 to form a circular ring, and are electrically connected with the controller 4; the arc-shaped indicator lights 102 are used for guiding the heading of the underwater detector 6; when the heading of the underwater detector 6 is not collinear with the extension line of the accommodation channel 111, although the four first indicator lights 101 form a rectangle, the circular ring formed by the plurality of arc-shaped indicator lights 102 is an ellipse from the perspective of the underwater detector 6, so the underwater detector 6 needs to adjust the heading at this time, so that the heading is collinear with the extension line of the accommodation channel 111; after the adjustment is completed, the circular ring formed by the plurality of arc-shaped indicator lights 102 is a circle from the perspective of the underwater detector 6, so the underwater detector 6 can directly and linearly sail at this time until entering the accommodation channel 111; the application further comprises a sonar distance detector 7, which is fixedly connected to the rear end of the loading shell 11 and located below the accommodation channel 11; the sonar distance detector 7 is directed outward along the extension line of the accommodation channel 111; the sonar distance detector 7 is electrically connected with the controller 4; the sonar distance detector 7 is used for detecting the distance between the underwater detector 6 and the loading shell 11; when the underwater detector 6 sails to a preset distance from the loading shell 11, the sonar distance detector 7 feeds back a signal to the controller 4; the controller 4 then issues an instruction to the plurality of arc-shaped indicator lights 102, so that the plurality of arc-shaped indicator lights 102 are turned on to form a circular light ring, so as to guide the heading of the underwater detector 6.

[0045] In the embodiment, the indicator light group comprises 2b second indicator lights 103, which are divided into two groups and arranged on the left and right sides of the loading shell 11, b≥3, and the b second indicator lights 103 form an isosceles triangle distribution; the top angle of the isosceles triangle is directed to the front side of the loading shell 11, and the two base angles of the isosceles triangle are directed to the rear side of the loading shell 11; the second indicator lights 103 are electrically connected with the controller 4; if b=3, then the distribution of the second indicator lights 103 is that there are three second indicator lights 103 on the left side of the loading shell 11 and three second indicator lights 103 on the right side of the loading shell 11; when three light-emitting points are observed during the return of the underwater detector 6, it indicates that the underwater detector 6 is on the left or right side of the loading shell 11; at this time, the underwater detector 6 needs to adjust the heading and sail towards the direction of the two base angles of the isosceles triangle formed by the three light-emitting points, and needs to be located on the midpoint extension line of the two base angles; when sailing in this direction, the underwater detector 6 sails towards the rear end of the loading shell 11; after sailing a preset distance, the underwater detector 6 needs to turn 180 degrees and finally sail towards the direction of the accommodation channel 111.

[0046] In the embodiment, the fish fin receiving groove 1111 is arranged on the receiving channel 111, and the fish fin receiving groove 1111 is distributed in a cross shape with the center of the receiving channel 111 and is in communication with the receiving channel 111. The sensing device 3 is located on one side of the fish fin receiving groove 1111 and protrudes towards the rear end of the loading shell 11. The fish fin receiving groove 1111 is used to provide a receiving channel for the fish fin 61 of the underwater detector 6. When the underwater detector 6 enters the receiving channel 111 but the fish fin is still at the rear, the clamping assembly 2 does not clamp the underwater detector 6. When the fish fin of the underwater detector 6 starts to enter the fish fin receiving groove 1111, the sensing device 3 is activated. After the fish fin of the underwater detector 6 completely enters the fish fin receiving groove 1111, the sensing device 3 feeds back a signal to the controller 4, and the controller 4 issues a clamping instruction to the clamping assembly 2. The clamping assembly 2 clamps the underwater detector 6, so that the underwater detector 6 is fixed in the receiving channel 111.

[0047] In the embodiment, the sensing device 3 includes a connecting shell 31, an infrared distance sensor 32, and a protective shell 33. The connecting shell 31 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the loading shell 11. The connecting shell 31 is provided with an avoiding groove 311 which is aligned with the fish fin receiving groove 1111 and is in communication. The infrared distance sensor 32 is fixedly connected in the connecting shell 31 and is located on the left and right sides of the avoiding groove 311. The infrared distance sensor 32 is electrically connected with the controller 4. The protective shell 33 is fixedly connected to the connecting shell 31 and shields the infrared distance sensor 32. The connecting shell 31 is provided with two guide blocks 312 which are symmetrically arranged with the avoiding groove 311 as the center line. The two guide blocks 312 extend outwardly perpendicularly to the connecting shell 31 through the protective shell 33. The infrared distance sensor 32 includes an infrared emitter and an infrared receiver which are respectively fixed on the left and right sides of the avoiding groove 311. When the fish fin is still at the rear end, that is, the infrared emitter has not been shielded, the infrared emitter continuously emits infrared rays to the infrared receiver. When the fish fin starts to enter the avoiding groove, the fish fin of the underwater detector 6 first shields the infrared emitter. After the fish fin completely enters the avoiding groove 311, the fish fin does not shield the infrared emitter. At this time, the infrared receiver continues to receive the infrared rays of the infrared emitter. At this time, the infrared receiver feeds back a signal to the controller 4, and the controller 4 issues a clamping instruction to the clamping assembly 2 to clamp the underwater detector 6. The two guide blocks 312 are used to guide the fish fin to be vertical or horizontal when the fish fin is not in a vertical or horizontal state.

[0048] In the embodiment, the clamping assembly 2 comprises an even number of clamping devices 21 which are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction at the front end of the accommodation channel 111. The even number of clamping devices 21 can symmetrically clamp the underwater detector 6, thereby facilitating stable clamping of the underwater detector 6. The clamping device 21 comprises a mounting shell 211, a driving device 212, a rotating disc 213, a connecting rod 214, a pressure sensor 215, and a clamping block 216. The mounting shell 211 is embedded in the front end of the loading shell 11 and located at one side of the accommodation channel 111. The driving device 212 is fixedly connected in the mounting shell 211. The center of the rotating disc 213 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft of the driving device 212. The connecting rod 214 has an Ω-shaped structure. One end of the connecting rod 214 is hingedly connected with one side of the rotating disc 213. One side of the rotating disc 213 is provided with a connecting column 2131 which is hingedly connected with one end of the connecting rod 214. The other end of the connecting rod 214 is hingedly connected with the clamping block 216. The inner side of the clamping block 216 is provided with a connecting boss 2161 which is hingedly connected with the other end of the connecting rod 214. The pressure sensor 215 is installed in the connecting rod 214 and used to measure the deformation force of the connecting rod 214. The clamping block 216 is slidingly connected with one side of the mounting shell 211 and faces the accommodation channel 111. The driving device 212 and the pressure sensor 215 are electrically connected with the controller 4. The inside of the mounting shell 211 needs to be waterproofly sealed. One side of the mounting shell 211 is provided with a sealing cover 2112. When the driving device 212, the rotating disc 213, the connecting rod 214, the pressure sensor 215, and the clamping block 216 are installed, the sealing cover 2112 needs to be opened first. After installation is completed, the sealing cover 2112 is closed. After being closed, water cannot enter the mounting shell 211. The driving device 212 is a stepping motor. When the underwater detector 6 is clamped, the driving device 212 drives the rotating disc 213 to rotate forward by a preset angle. The rotating disc 213 drives the connecting rod 214 to push the clamping block 216 to slide towards the accommodation channel 111. When the clamping block 216 abuts against the surface of the underwater detector 6, the connecting rod 214 will slightly deform because the driving device 212 still drives the rotating disc 213 to continuously rotate forward without stopping. The deformation size will generate a certain pressing force on the pressure sensor 215. After the pressure sensor 215 detects a preset pressing force value, the value is fed back to the controller 4. The controller 4 sends a stop command to the driving device 212. The driving device 212 stops rotating and stays at the stopped position. At this time, the clamping block 216 presses the underwater detector 6. The clamping blocks 216 at the symmetric positions clamp the underwater detector 6.The clamping device 21 further comprises a brake 217 electrically connected with the controller 4, a fixed boss 2113 is arranged in the mounting shell 211, the brake 217 is fixedly connected to the fixed boss 2113 and located at one side of the rotating disc 213 and faces the rotating disc 213, after the clamping block 216 abuts against the underwater detector 6, the driving device 212 stops rotating, the rotating disc 213 also stops rotating, and the brake 217 extends towards the rotating disc 213 to abut against one side of the rotating disc 213, thereby braking the rotating disc 213 and preventing the rotating disc 213 from rotating back. The brake 217 comprises a fixed shell 2171, a small motor 2172 and a brake lever 2173. The small motor 2172 is electrically connected with the controller 4, the fixed shell 2171 is fixedly connected to the fixed boss 2113, the small motor 2172 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed shell, the rotating shaft of the small motor 2172 extends into the fixed shell 2171, one end of the brake lever 2173 is slidingly connected with the fixed shell 2171 and forms a screw connection with the rotating shaft of the small motor 2172, and the other end of the brake lever 2173 is provided with a brake arc piece 21731. When braking, the small motor 2172 rotates forward to drive the brake lever 2173 to extend outward, so that the brake arc piece 21731 presses one side of the rotating disc 213 to form a brake. When it is necessary to release the underwater detector 6, the small motor 2172 reversely rotates to drive the brake lever 2173 to retract, so that the brake arc piece 21731 is separated from pressing one side of the rotating disc 213. Then, the driving device 212 reversely rotates by a preset angle to drive the connecting rod 214 to retract, thereby driving the clamping block 216 to retract to release the underwater detector 6.

[0049] In the embodiment, the connecting rod 214 is provided with a deformation pressing portion 2141 which protrudes outward perpendicularly to the middle portion of the connecting rod 214 and has an Ω-shaped structure, mainly used for improving the deformation amount of the connecting rod 214 when subjected to a thrust force. The deformation pressing portion 2141 is provided with a mounting groove 21411 which has a U-shaped structure, and the pressure sensor 215 is mounted in the mounting groove 21411. When the clamping block 216 presses the underwater detector 6, the deformation pressing portion 2141 will be deformed slightly, and the pressure generated by the deformation will be transmitted to the groove wall of the mounting groove 21411 and then to the pressure sensor 215.
