[0002] At present, submersibles need to surface to nearby ships or land bases to charge. There are two main traditional ways of power supply. One is to salvage the underwater equipment ashore, replace the battery with a new one or charge the battery by wired means; the other is to perform underwater wet plug-in charging on the underwater equipment through a cable system on power supply platforms such as ships and submarine base stations. The first method requires manual operation, has a low degree of automation, and poor charging concealment, which can easily expose underwater military equipment to targets.

After charging is completed, the pressure plate 4 is pushed by the upward movement of the underwater robot. When the underwater robot moves above the connecting tube 2, it can be separated from the charging disk 6 through the translation of the underwater robot.

The top of the hose 21 is connected to the drain pipe 11 extending to the top of the clamping ring 5.
[0036] In this embodiment: when the charging disk 6 moves downward relative to the connecting tube 2, the guide rod 3 will drive the ring 13 to move downward. At this time, the ring 13 squeezes the top of the first oblique connecting rod 22 through the connecting frame 15, so that the first oblique connecting rod 22 drives the pull rod 19 to move away from the water storage tank 12 through the U-shaped pull block 26. At this time, since the locking ring 24 is limited by the movable pin 25, the pull rod 19 moves relative to the rectangular movable sleeve 18. During this process, the second return spring 27 is pulled by the pull rod 19 to stretch. When the bottom of the pressure plate 4 is in contact with the top of the connecting tube 2, the connecting frame 15 squeezes the L-shaped pressure plate 16, so that the L-shaped pressure plate 16 drives the movable frame 23 to move downward, thereby separating the movable pin 25 from the locking ring 24. At this time, the rectangular movable sleeve 18 loses its limit, and the rectangular movable sleeve 18 is locked in the second return spring Under the action of the elastic restoring force 27, the piston plate 20 is driven to move in the direction away from the water storage tank 12, so that the aqueous solution between the pressure plate 4 and the charging disk 6 can enter the water storage tank 12 through the drain pipe 11 and the hose 21, so as to prevent water molecules from interfering with the electromagnetic field of wireless charging. The charging efficiency can be improved in conjunction with the air guide connector. When the positioning ring 5 is restored, the sleeve ring 13 will drive the pull rod 19 to move through the first oblique connecting rod 22. At this time, the pull rod 19 will push the rectangular movable sleeve 18 to move. When the locking ring 24 is aligned with the movable pin 25, the movable frame 23 will move upward under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first return spring 17, so that the movable pin 25 is inserted into the locking ring 24, thereby locking the rectangular movable sleeve 18. At the same time, the aqueous solution inside the water storage tank 12 will also be sprayed out from the drain pipe 11 as the piston plate 20 moves.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The space inside the water storage tank 12 is equal to the space inside the connecting tube 2, and a sealing gasket is provided at the position where the bottom of the pressure plate 4 contacts the connecting tube 2.
[0038] In this embodiment, by providing this structure, the aqueous solution between the retaining ring 5 and the pressing plate 4 is completely extracted when the piston plate 20 moves in a direction away from the water storage tank 12 .
[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 The diameters of the locking ring 24 and the movable pin 25 are equal, and the top of the movable pin 25 is connected to a ball through a rotating shaft.
[0040] In this embodiment, this structure is provided to improve the stability of the rectangular movable sleeve 18 after the movable pin 25 is inserted into the locking ring 24, and also to reduce the friction between the movable pin 25 and the bottom of the rectangular movable sleeve 18 during the movement of the rectangular movable sleeve 18.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 The outer wall of the retaining ring 5 fits with the inner wall of the connecting tube 2 , and the outer wall of the connecting tube 2 is provided with a guide hole that fits with the guide rod 3 .
[0042] In this embodiment, this structure is provided to prevent the aqueous solution between the pressing plate 4 and the charging tray 6 from flowing to the bottom of the charging tray 6 .
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 The air guide connector includes a transition bin 30 installed on the top of the pressure plate 4, a transverse connecting pipe 14 connected to the connecting rod 10 is provided at the bottom of the transition bin 30, and an injection pipe 9 is provided on one side of the connecting rod 10 and located above the positioning ring 5. The interior of the transition bin 30 is plugged with an air blocking block 35 extending to the outside of the transition bin 30, and the top of the pressure plate 4 is equipped with a limiting tube 31 located on both sides of the transition bin 30. The interior of the limiting tube 31 is plugged with a T-shaped plug rod 34 extending to the top of the limiting tube 31. The T-shaped plug rod 34 A third return spring 32 connected to the inner wall of the limit tube 31 is installed at the bottom, and a connecting plate 29 located above the transition bin 30 is installed at the top of the T-shaped plug rod 34.

At this time, the connecting plate 29 will drive the air blocking block 35 to move through the second oblique connecting rod 28, so that the air blocking block 35 loses its obstruction on the bottom of the connecting air pipe 7. At this time, the air ejected from the connecting air pipe 7 will pass through the transition bin 30, the transverse connecting tube 14, the connecting rod 10 and finally be ejected by the air jet pipe 9. This will fill the area around the underwater robot entering the connecting tube 2 with air, thereby achieving the effect of replacing the medium and improving the charging efficiency. At the same time, the air ejected through the jet pipe 9 will clean the top of the charging disk 6, thereby preventing the top of the charging disk 6 from being covered by impurities in the water and affecting the charging efficiency.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 , the air inlet of the one-way valve 8 is connected to the pressure plate 4.
[0050] In this embodiment, this structure is provided to prevent the aqueous solution around the connecting cylinder 2 from entering between the charging disk 6 and the pressing plate 4 through the one-way valve 8 .

At this time, the pressure plate 4 moves downward with the charging tray 6;
[0053] S2: The underwater robot is completely moved into the inner side of the connecting tube 2. At this time, the bottom of the pressure plate 4 contacts the top of the connecting tube 2, thereby sealing the top of the connecting tube 2.
[0054] S3: When the charging disk 6 moves downward relative to the connecting tube 2, the guide rod 3 will drive the ring 13 to move downward. At this time, the ring 13 squeezes the top of the first oblique link 22 through the connecting frame 15, so that the first oblique link 22 drives the pull rod 19 to move away from the water storage tank 12 through the U-shaped pull block 26. At this time, since the locking ring 24 is limited by the movable pin 25, the pull rod 19 moves relative to the rectangular movable sleeve 18.

At this time, the rectangular movable sleeve 18 will lose its limit. The rectangular movable sleeve 18 drives the piston plate 20 to move away from the water storage tank 12 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the second return spring 27, so that the aqueous solution between the pressure plate 4 and the charging disk 6 can enter the water storage tank through the drain pipe 11 and the hose 21. When the bottom of the pressure plate 4 contacts the top of the connecting tube 2, the side connecting plate 33 will be blocked by the top of the connecting tube 2 and move up relative to the pressure plate 4, so that the T-shaped plug 34 moves up relative to the limit tube 31. At the same time, the third return spring 32 stretches, and the connecting plate 29 will drive the air blocking block 35 to move through the second oblique connecting rod 28, so that the air blocking block 35 loses its shielding against the bottom of the connecting air pipe 7. At this time, the air ejected from the connecting air pipe 7 The air will pass through the transition chamber 30, the transverse connecting pipe 14, the connecting rod 10, and finally be ejected from the air jet pipe 9. In this way, the underwater robot entering the connecting tube 2 will be filled with air, thereby achieving the effect of replacing the medium and improving the charging efficiency. At the same time, the air ejected from the air jet pipe 9 will clean the top of the charging disk 6, thereby preventing the top of the charging disk 6 from being covered by impurities in the water and affecting the charging efficiency. When the amount of air between the pressure plate 4 and the charging disk 6 increases, the excess air can be discharged from the connecting tube 2 through the one-way valve 8.
[0055] S4: After charging is completed, the underwater robot moves upward to push the pressure plate 4. When the underwater robot moves above the connecting tube 2, it can be separated from the charging tray 6 by the translation of the underwater robot.
