Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of underwater survey equipment, and particularly to an underwater survey unit for an unmanned boat and an unmanned boat. Background Art

[0002] Underwater topographic survey is a specific survey in engineering survey, which measures the plane positions and elevations of underwater points in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, harbors and coastal waters for the surveying and mapping work of drawing underwater topographic maps. The main contents are to establish a control network on land and conduct underwater topographic surveying and mapping. Underwater topographic surveying and mapping includes sounding point positioning, water depth measurement, water level observation and mapping. The methods of sounding point positioning include section wire method, forward intersection method of theodolite or plane table, back intersection method of sextant, polar coordinate method of total station tachymeter, radio positioning method, underwater acoustic positioning and differential GPS positioning method, etc. Water depth measurement uses tools such as sounding rods, sounding weights and echo sounders. The underwater elevation is calculated based on the results of water depth measurement and water level observation, and finally the underwater topography is represented by isobaths.

[0003] In current underwater survey technologies, an echo sounder installed at the bottom of an unmanned boat is usually used for detection work. This kind of sounder emits sound waves, and the sound waves pass through the liquid as the sound transmission medium and the casing of the equipment and enter the underwater environment. These sound waves will be reflected after encountering the bottom of the water, and then the reflected sound wave signals will be captured by the receiving sound wave module on the sounder. The captured sound wave information is then transmitted to the terminal device on the shore through the communication module of the unmanned boat. In the terminal device on the shore, the information processing module will analyze and process these sound wave information, so as to be able to generate the contour data in the pipe. After these data are automatically integrated and calculated, a three-dimensional model of the pipe can be constructed. Through the movement and positioning of the unmanned boat, accurate measurement and detailed description of underwater related data can be achieved.

[0004] However, when measuring the underwater topography in lakes or still water areas, some special challenges will be encountered. Since there are often many floating objects such as duckweeds, garbage, branches and leaves on the water surface in these areas, when the surveying boat is conducting survey work, these floating objects are easily attached to the surface of the detector. This attachment phenomenon will cause the data received by the detector to deviate, thus unable to accurately reflect the true three-dimensional coordinates underwater in the surveyed area.

[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 , an underwater survey unit of an unmanned ship in the figure, including a hull 1, a housing 101 for installing underwater survey equipment is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hull 1. The inside of the housing 101 also includes components such as a circuit control board, a communication module, and a watertight joint. The circuit control board mainly controls the circuit operation of each component, and the watertight joint is used to connect to the power supply line and communication line of the hull 1. The underwater survey equipment is mainly an echo sounder device, which is a mature existing technology, so it will not be elaborated here;

[0033] It also includes: a steel cylinder 102 fixed to the bottom of the shell 101, the bottom of the steel cylinder 102 is rotatably connected to a scraping mechanism 2 for cleaning floating objects attached to the outer wall of the shell 101, a transmission mechanism 3 is installed on the inner bottom of the shell 101, an unpowered driving mechanism 4 is transmission-connected between the hull 1 and the transmission mechanism 3, and a driving mechanism 5 is arranged inside the steel cylinder 102; two groups of extraction mechanisms 6 are respectively fixed to the inner walls of the shell 101, a suction mechanism 7 is arranged on the outer side of the shell 101, the top of the extraction mechanism 6 is connected to the suction mechanism 7 through a pipeline, and the two ends of the transmission mechanism 3 are transmission-connected to the extraction mechanism 6 respectively; a liquid cooling mechanism 8 is arranged between the two groups of extraction mechanisms 6, and the liquid cooling mechanism 8 is used for synchronously dissipating heat and cooling the underwater survey equipment in the shell 101.

[0034] In this solution, the scraping mechanism 2, the transmission mechanism 3 and the unpowered driving mechanism 4 are designed to scrape the attachments on the outer wall of the shell 101 of the underwater survey equipment, improve the cleaning effect, and avoid the attachment phenomenon that will cause the data received by the detector to be biased, thereby failing to accurately reflect the real three-dimensional coordinates of the underwater survey area; the designed extraction mechanism 6, the suction mechanism 7 and the liquid cooling mechanism 8 can use the negative pressure suction force to suck the bubbles moving around the underwater survey equipment in advance, so as to avoid a large number of bubbles floating up to affect the measurement effect of the underwater survey equipment as much as possible, and the liquid cooling mechanism 8 can be used to use the water extracted by the extraction mechanism 6 and the suction mechanism 7 to synchronously dissipate heat and cool the underwater survey equipment in the shell 101, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the underwater survey equipment; the designed unpowered driving mechanism 4 and the driving mechanism 5 can make the steel cylinder 102 vibrate and sound, and these vibrations and sounds are used to effectively drive away the fish and other underwater creatures close to the underwater survey equipment, ensuring that the underwater animals will not interfere with the normal operation of the survey equipment, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the survey data.

[0035] For further information, see Figure 4 The scraping mechanism 2 includes a No. 1 rotating shaft 201, an annular fixing block 202, an L-shaped connecting rod 203 and a scraping strip 204. The two ends of the No. 1 rotating shaft 201 are rotatably connected to the shell 101 and the steel cylinder 102 through bearings respectively. The No. 1 rotating shaft 201 and the steel cylinder 102 are coaxially arranged as well as the shell 101. The annular fixing block 202 is fixedly sleeved on the bottom end of the No. 1 rotating shaft 201. A plurality of L-shaped connecting rods 203 and scraping strips 204 are provided. The scraping strip 204 is fixedly connected to the annular fixing block 202 through the L-shaped connecting rod 203. The inner side of the scraping strip 204 is in close contact with the outer wall of the shell 101. The No. 1 rotating shaft 201 is transmission-connected to the driving mechanism 5.

[0036] Specifically, when the hull 1 moves on the water, it drives the operation of the non-powered driving mechanism 4, thereby driving the rotation of the first rotating shaft 201 through the transmission mechanism 3. The first rotating shaft 201 drives the rotation of a plurality of scraping strips 204, causing relative movement between the scraping strips 204 and the outer wall of the housing 101, so as to scrape off the attachments on the outer wall of the housing 101 of the underwater survey device, improve the cleaning effect, and ensure that the data received by the detector will not deviate.

[0037] Further, referring to Figure 5 , the transmission mechanism 3 includes a transmission shaft 301, a first bevel gear 302, a second bevel gear 303, a third bevel gear 304 and a swing rod 305. The transmission shaft 301 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the housing 101 through two bearing seats. The first bevel gear 302 is meshed with the second bevel gear 303. The second bevel gear 303 is meshed with the third bevel gear 304. The output end of the non-powered driving mechanism 4 is in transmission connection with the first bevel gear 302. The third bevel gear 304 is fixed to the top of the first rotating shaft 201. The second bevel gear 303 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the transmission shaft 301. The swing rods 305 are respectively fixed to both ends of the transmission shaft 301. The end of the swing rod 305 away from the transmission shaft 301 is in transmission connection with the extraction mechanism 6.

[0038] Specifically, when the hull 1 moves on the water, it drives the operation of the non-powered driving mechanism 4, thereby driving the rotation of the first bevel gear 302. The first bevel gear 302 drives the rotation of the second bevel gear 303. The second bevel gear 303 drives the rotation of the transmission shaft 301 and the third bevel gear 304. Among them, the transmission shaft 301 drives the swing rod 305 to rotate, thereby enabling the extraction mechanism 6 to work. In addition, the third bevel gear 304 drives the first rotating shaft 201 to rotate, thereby enabling the driving mechanism 5 and the scraping mechanism 2 to work simultaneously, with strong linkage.

[0039] Further, please refer to Figure 6 , the non-powered driving mechanism 4 includes a fan 401, a second rotating shaft 402, a fourth bevel gear 403, a fifth bevel gear 404 and a driving shaft 405. The fan 401 and the fourth bevel gear 403 are respectively fixed to both ends of the second rotating shaft 402. The outside of the second rotating shaft 402 is rotatably connected with a support plate 406. The bottom of the support plate 406 is fixed to the hull 1. The fourth bevel gear 403 is meshed with the fifth bevel gear 404. The driving shaft 405 penetrates between the hull 1 and the housing 101, and the driving shaft 405 is rotatably connected to the hull 1 through a bearing. The top of the driving shaft 405 is fixedly connected with the fifth bevel gear 404. The end of the driving shaft 405 extending into the housing 101 is fixedly connected with the first bevel gear 302.

[0040] Specifically, when the hull 1 moves on the water, it drives the fan 401 to rotate automatically. The fan 401 drives the second rotating shaft 402 to rotate, the second rotating shaft 402 drives the fourth bevel gear 403 to rotate, the fourth bevel gear 403 drives the fifth bevel gear 404 to rotate, the fifth bevel gear 404 drives the drive shaft 405 to rotate, and the drive shaft 405 drives the first bevel gear 302 to rotate, thereby transmitting the power to the transmission mechanism 3, achieving the use of natural wind power as the driving force and reducing the use of electric energy, which has the effect of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0041] Embodiment 2: Please refer to Figure 7 - Figure 9 This embodiment further illustrates Embodiment 1. The extraction mechanism 6 includes a sealing cylinder 601, a piston block 602, a piston rod 603, and a groove plate 604. The sealing cylinder 601 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 101. The piston block 602 is slidably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the sealing cylinder 601. The piston rod 603 is fixed to the bottom of the piston block 602. The piston rod 603 and the sealing cylinder 601 are slidably and penetratingly connected. One end of the piston rod 603 away from the piston block 602 is fixedly connected to the groove plate 604. A limit pin 605 is slidably sleeved in the groove plate 604. One end of the limit pin 605 is fixedly connected to the swing rod 305. The top end of the sealing cylinder 601 is connected to a water inlet pipe 606 through a one-way valve. One end of the liquid cooling mechanism 8 is fixedly connected to the sealing cylinder 601. The end of the water inlet pipe 606 located outside the housing 101 is fixedly connected to the suction mechanism 7.

[0042] Among them, the suction mechanism 7 includes a communicating pipe 701, a suction head 702, and a connecting pipe 703. One end of the water inlet pipe 606 away from the sealing cylinder 601 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 703. The bottom of the connecting pipe 703 is communicatively and fixedly connected to the communicating pipe 701. There are multiple suction heads 702, and the multiple suction heads 702 are arranged in an array on the outer side of the communicating pipe 701. One end of the suction head 702 is fixedly connected to the communicating pipe 701 through a one-way valve.

[0043] It should be noted that a filter screen is provided at the liquid inlet end of each suction head 702 to prevent large particle debris from entering the inside of the suction head 702 and causing blockage.

[0044] Specifically, when the hull 1 is moving, due to the operation of the propeller blades, bubbles will be generated around the water body. When a large number of bubbles move to the periphery of the housing 101, it will also cause the water body around the housing 101 to become turbid, which will affect the measurement results. In order to avoid as much as possible the influence of a large number of bubbles floating up on the measurement effect of the underwater survey equipment, the transmission mechanism 3 will also drive the swing rod 305 to rotate, and the swing rod 305 will drive the limit pin 605 to rotate. Since the limit pin 605 is slidably connected to the groove plate 604, the rotational motion of the swing rod 305 will be converted into the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the groove plate 604, thereby driving the piston rod 603 to reciprocate up and down in the sealing cylinder 601. Using the negative pressure suction of the piston block 602, the bubbles and water moving to the periphery of the underwater survey equipment are sucked into the water inlet pipe 606 through the suction head 702 and the connecting pipe 701, and finally enter the sealing cylinder 601, thereby effectively eliminating the bubbles around the housing 101 and preventing the surrounding water body from becoming turbid.

[0045] Meanwhile, the liquid cooling mechanism 8 includes a spiral liquid cooling pipe 801 and a water outlet pipe 802. One end of the water outlet pipe 802 is fixed to the top of the sealing cylinder 601 through a one-way valve. The end of the water outlet pipe 802 far from the sealing cylinder 601 is fixedly connected to the spiral liquid cooling pipe 801. The bottom end of the spiral liquid cooling pipe 801 is fixedly connected with a liquid discharge pipe 803. The end of the liquid discharge pipe 803 far from the spiral liquid cooling pipe 801 penetrates through the housing 101 and extends to the outside of the housing 101.

[0046] Specifically, since the interior of the housing 101 also includes components such as a circuit control board, a communication module, and a watertight connector, these components and the underwater survey equipment will generate heat during operation. This heat will cause the temperature of the interior space of the housing 101 to rise. However, in order to reduce the working temperature inside the housing 101, the liquid water entering the sealing cylinder 601 will enter the water outlet pipe 802 when the piston block 602 moves upward, and then enter the spiral liquid cooling pipe 801. The spiral liquid cooling pipe 801 has a large surface area, and the spiral shape greatly increases the contact area with the air. The water inside the spiral liquid cooling pipe 801 has a lower temperature and will radiate to the interior of the housing 101, just like opening more channels for the dissipation of heat, enabling the low-temperature heat to be transferred to the interior of the housing 101 more quickly, achieving the effect of radiating and cooling the hot air inside the housing 101, and then synchronously dissipating heat and cooling the underwater survey equipment inside the housing 101, improving the heat dissipation effect of the underwater survey equipment.

[0047] Embodiment Three: Please refer to Figure 10, this embodiment further illustrates other embodiments. The driving mechanism 5 includes a metal sheet 501, a cam 502, a roller 503, an elastic member 504, and a rubber ball 505. The metal sheet 501 is fixed inside the steel cylinder 102. The cam 502 is fixedly sleeved outside the first rotating shaft 201. The roller 503 is slidably connected to the cam 502. One end of the roller 503 away from the cam 502 is connected to the rubber ball 505 through the elastic member 504. The elastic member 504 includes a limit plate 5041, a sliding rod 5042, and a return spring 5043. The limit plate 5041 is fixed to the inner bottom of the steel cylinder 102 and is located between the cam 502 and the metal sheet 501. The sliding rod 5042 is slidably sleeved on the limit plate 5041. The roller 503 and the rubber ball 505 are respectively fixed to both ends of the sliding rod 5042. A return spring 5043 is provided between the roller 503 and the limit plate 5041, and the sliding rod 5042 is sleeved inside the return spring 5043.

[0048] Specifically, when the unmanned boat is swimming on the water surface, fish and other underwater organisms underwater will approach the underwater survey equipment. To avoid interference from underwater animals to the normal operation of the survey equipment, the first rotating shaft 201 drives the cam 502 to rotate. The cam 502 pushes the roller 503 to perform left and right reciprocating movements, thereby driving the rubber ball 505 to perform left and right reciprocating movements through the elastic member 504. During the continuous movement of the rubber ball 505, it will contact the metal sheet 501 to produce a knocking effect, causing the steel cylinder 102 to emit vibrations and sounds. These vibrations and sounds are used to effectively drive away fish and other underwater organisms approaching the underwater survey equipment, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the survey data.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 10 , the present invention also proposes an unmanned boat, including the underwater survey unit of the unmanned boat as described in any one of the above.

[0050] Among them, the unmanned boat is wirelessly communicatively connected to an external terminal.
