Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of marine engineering, the demand for underwater navigation equipment in fields such as marine environmental monitoring and resource exploration is increasing. Underwater navigation equipment (such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and underwater robots) has become a key tool for ocean exploration.
[0003] Most traditional underwater navigation equipment uses single-battery energy as its power source. Battery energy has the advantages of small size, light weight, and no pollution, but its energy density is limited and its endurance is insufficient. As the requirements for the detection depth and navigation time of underwater navigation equipment continue to increase, the limitations of single-battery energy are becoming increasingly prominent. For example, in deep-sea exploration missions, underwater navigation equipment needs to stay underwater for a long time, and once the battery is exhausted, it cannot continue to work, resulting in mission interruption, affecting detection efficiency and data integrity.

The movable baffle 402 divides the internal space of the water collecting tank 401 into a first space 403 and a second space 404. The water inlet of the air intake pipe of the water collecting tank 401 is located within the first space 403, and the air outlet of the first exhaust pipe 501 and the air inlet of the second exhaust pipe 502 are located within the second space 404. The movable baffle 402 within the water collecting tank 401 divides the internal space of the water collecting tank 401 into the first space 403 and the second space 404. On the one hand, the movable baffle 402 can automatically adjust its position according to the seawater pressure difference between the two spaces to adjust the volume of seawater in the two spaces and prevent seawater from backflowing into the diesel generator 2. On the other hand, the movable baffle 402 can isolate the exhaust gas discharged by the diesel generator 2 from the air entering the foldable air intake unit to avoid affecting the quality of the incoming air.
[0101] Specifically, in some specific implementations of the present invention, a third sealing ring 405 is provided between the movable baffle 402 and the inner wall of the water collecting tank 401. The third sealing ring 405 effectively prevents gas and water in the first space 403 from entering the second space 404, and vice versa.
[0102] It should be noted that in order to reduce the impact on the air entering the first space 403 and to reduce the volume of the water collecting tank 401, in some specific implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the water collecting tank 401 is configured as a whole as a special-shaped structure part 4012 (profiling structure) + a conventional structure part 4013 (such as: a semicircular body, a cube, a rectangular parallelepiped, etc.), which can fully utilize the effective volume in the sealed pressure cabin 1.
[0103] In some embodiments, the rigid water collection unit further comprises:
[0104] A drainage pump 406 is installed on the upper surface of the water collecting tank 401. The water outlet of the drainage pump 406 is connected to the external space of the sealed pressure cabin 1 through a first main drainage pipeline 407. The first main drainage pipeline 407 is provided with a main drainage valve 408. The drainage pump 406 and the main drainage valve 408 are both connected to the control module 9.
[0105] An air intake and water suction pipe 409 connects the drainage water pump 406 and the first space 403; an air intake and water suction valve 410 connected to the control module 9 is provided on the pipe section of the air intake and water suction pipe 409 located outside the water collecting tank 401; the water outlet of the air intake and water suction pipe 409 is connected to the water inlet pipe of the drainage water pump 406; and the water inlet of the air intake and water suction pipe 409 is located at the bottom of the first space 403;
[0106] The exhaust water suction pipe 411 connects the drainage water pump 406 and the second space 404; the exhaust water suction pipe 411 is located on the pipe section outside the water collecting tank 401 and is provided with an exhaust water suction valve 412 connected to the control module 9, the water outlet of the exhaust water suction pipe 411 is connected to the water inlet pipe of the drainage water pump 406, and the water inlet of the exhaust water suction pipe 411 is located at the bottom of the second space 404.
[0107] When the seawater collected in the first space reaches a set upper limit threshold, the drainage pump 406 is turned on, and the air intake valve 410 and the main drainage valve 408 are opened. The water in the first space 403 is discharged to the outside of the sealed pressure cabin 1 through the drainage pump 406 via the air intake pipe 409, the drainage pump 406 and the first main drainage pipeline 407.
[0108] When the seawater collected in the second space reaches a set upper threshold, the drainage pump 406 is turned on, and the exhaust water intake valve 412 and the main drainage valve 408 are opened. The water in the second space 404 is discharged to the outside of the sealed pressure cabin 1 through the drainage pump 406 via the exhaust water intake pipe 411, the drainage pump 406 and the first main drainage pipeline 407.
[0109] In some embodiments, the rigid water collection unit further includes a liquid level sensor disposed in the water collection tank 401, and the liquid level sensor includes:
[0110] A first intake liquid level sensor 413 is provided in the first space 403 and is connected to the control module 9 to detect the upper limit liquid level of water in the first space 403 and transmit the upper limit liquid level to the control module 9;
[0111] A second intake liquid level sensor 414 is provided in the first space 403 and is connected to the control module 9 to detect the lower limit liquid level of the water in the first space 403 and transmit the lower limit liquid level to the control module 9;
[0112] A first exhaust liquid level sensor 415 is provided in the second space 404 . The first exhaust liquid level sensor 415 is connected to the control module 9 and is used to detect the upper limit liquid level of water in the second space 404 and transmit the upper limit liquid level to the control module 9 .
[0113] The second exhaust liquid level sensor 416 is disposed in the second space 404 and is connected to the control module 9 for detecting the lower limit liquid level of water in the second space 404 and transmitting the lower limit liquid level to the control module 9 .
[0114] The upper limit of the water level in the first space 403 is detected by a first intake liquid level sensor 413 and transmitted to the control module 9. When the water level in the first space 403 reaches the upper limit, the control module 9 controls the drainage pump 406 to start, and controls the intake water valve 410 and the main drainage valve 408 to open. The drainage pump 406 then discharges the water in the first space 403 out of the sealed pressure chamber 1 through the intake water pipe 409, the drainage pump 406, and the first main drainage pipeline 407. The lower limit of the water level in the first space 403 is detected by a second intake liquid level sensor 414 and transmitted to the control module 9. When the water level in the first space 403 falls below the lower limit, the control module 9 controls the intake water valve 410 and the main drainage valve 408 to close to prevent seawater from flowing back into the water collection tank 401. The control module 9 also controls the drainage pump 406 to stop operating.
[0115] The upper limit level of the water in the second space 404 is detected by the first exhaust liquid level sensor 415 and uploaded to the control module 9. When the water level in the second space 404 reaches the upper limit level, the control module 9 controls the drainage pump 406 to start, and controls the exhaust water intake valve 412 and the main drainage valve 408 to open. The drainage pump 406 discharges the water in the second space 404 through the exhaust water intake pipe 411, the drainage pump 406, and the first main drainage pipeline 407 to the outside of the sealed pressure chamber 1. The lower limit level of the water in the second space 404 is detected by the second exhaust liquid level sensor 416 and uploaded to the control module 9. When the water level in the second space 404 falls below the lower limit level, the control module 9 controls the exhaust water intake valve 412 and the main drainage valve 408 to close to prevent seawater from flowing back into the water collection tank 401. At the same time, the control module 9 controls the drainage pump 406 to stop working.
[0116] In some embodiments, the exhaust solenoid valve includes a first exhaust solenoid valve 503 provided on the section of the second exhaust line 502 located within the sealed pressure chamber 1. The exhaust solenoid valve can effectively prevent seawater from flowing back into the vessel.
[0117] In some embodiments, the exhaust solenoid valves include a first exhaust solenoid valve 503 located on the section of the second exhaust pipeline 502 located inside the sealed pressure chamber 1, and a second exhaust solenoid valve 504 located on the section of the second exhaust pipeline located outside the sealed pressure chamber. By using two exhaust solenoid valves, if one exhaust solenoid valve fails, the other exhaust solenoid valve can still prevent seawater from flowing back.
[0118] In some embodiments, the exhaust unit further includes an anti-surge device 505, which is connected to the end of the second exhaust pipe 502 located outside the sealed pressure chamber 1. The anti-surge device 505 can further reduce the influx of seawater and prevent seawater backflow.
[0119] In some embodiments, the underwater power replenishment device further includes a flexible water collection unit disposed within the sealed pressure chamber 1, located at the bottom of the sealed pressure chamber 1. The flexible water collection unit includes a flexible container 601. Both an inlet pipe 602 and a drain pipe 603 of the flexible container 601 communicate with the interior of the water collection tank 401, with the inlet pipe 602 disposed above the drain pipe 603. A one-way valve is provided on the inlet pipe 602 of the flexible container 601. When water from the water collection tank 401 flows into the flexible container 601, the one-way valve 604 opens; when water from the flexible container 601 flows into the water collection tank 401, the one-way valve 604 closes. The one-way valve allows water to flow only from the water collection tank into the flexible container, preventing water from flowing back into the water collection tank, thereby increasing the water collection capacity. The drainage pipe 603 of the flexible container 601 is provided with a drainage valve 605 connected to the control module 9. When water is drained through the drainage pipe 603, the control module 9 controls the drainage valve 605 to open. When water is drained by the drainage pump 406, the control module 9 controls the drainage valve 605 to open, allowing water in the flexible container to flow into the water collection tank for discharge by the drainage pump.
[0120] It should be noted that the flexible container 601 is made of flexible material (such as rubber, etc.). When water flows into the flexible container, the flexible container 601 can automatically fill the empty space in the sealed pressure cabin 1. When used in conjunction with the water collecting tank 401, it can increase the water collection capacity.
[0121] In some embodiments, the underwater power supplement device also includes a heat dissipation unit, which includes a fixed heat dissipation module 7 and a coil heat dissipation module. The fixed heat dissipation module 7 and the coil heat dissipation module are connected to the external space of the sealed pressure cabin 1 through a main water inlet pipe 10 and a second main drainage pipe 11. The main water inlet pipe 10 is provided with a main water inlet solenoid valve 1001 connected to the control module 9, and the second main drainage pipe 11 is provided with a main drainage solenoid valve 1101 connected to the control module 9.
[0122] Specifically, the fixed heat dissipation module 7 includes:
[0123] A heat dissipation housing 701 is provided with a cooling water pipe 702 and a cooling circulating water pump 703 connected to the control module 9 , and a water outlet of the cooling circulating water pump 703 is connected to a water inlet of the cooling water pipe 702 ;
[0124] A cooling water inlet pipe 704, wherein the water inlet 7041 of the cooling water inlet pipe is connected to the water outlet of the main water inlet pipe 10, and the water outlet of the cooling water inlet pipe 704 is connected to the water inlet of the cooling circulation water pump 703. The cooling water inlet pipe 704 is provided with a water inlet solenoid valve 705 connected to the control module 9;
[0125] A cooling water outlet pipe 706, the water inlet of the cooling water outlet pipe 706 is connected to the water outlet of the cooling water pipe 702, the water outlet 7061 of the cooling water outlet pipe is connected to the water inlet of the second main drainage pipe 11, and the cooling water outlet pipe 706 is provided with a drainage solenoid valve 707 connected to the control module 9;
[0126] At least one fan assembly connected to the control module, the fan assembly is communicated with the interior of the heat dissipation housing 701; the fan assembly includes an intake fan arranged on one side of the heat dissipation housing 701 and an exhaust fan arranged on the other side of the heat dissipation housing 701.
[0127] During heat dissipation, the cooling water pump 703 drives the cooling seawater to flow in the cooling water pipe 702, and the fan assembly blows the hot air along the cooling water pipe 702. Figure 11 The hot air is sucked and discharged from the heat dissipation housing 701 in the direction of the middle arrow. The hot air passes through the surface of the cooling water, and the heat is taken away by the cooling water to achieve heat dissipation.
[0128] Specifically, in a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present application, the fan assembly is provided with two groups. The first fan assembly includes a first intake fan 708 and a first exhaust fan 709. The first intake fan 708 is provided at the bottom side of the heat dissipation housing 701, and the first exhaust fan 709 is provided at the top side of the heat dissipation housing 701. The second fan assembly includes a second intake fan 710 and a second exhaust fan 711. The second intake fan 710 is provided at the top side of the heat dissipation housing 701, and the second exhaust fan 711 is provided at the bottom side of the heat dissipation housing 701. There are two groups of fan assemblies, and the two groups of fan assemblies can serve as backup fan assemblies for each other. When heat dissipation is performed, one group of fan assemblies is in operation, and through the action of the intake fan and the exhaust fan, the hot air in the sealed pressure cabin 1 passes through the inside of the heat dissipation housing 701, is cooled by the cooling water, and the heat is taken away. Once a failure occurs in this group of fan assemblies, the other group of fan assemblies is started to perform heat dissipation.
[0129] Specifically, the coil heat dissipation module includes a coil 801 wound around the inner wall 105 of the sealed pressure chamber. The water inlet of the coil 801 is connected to the water outlet of the main water inlet pipeline 10, and the water outlet of the coil 801 is connected to the water inlet of the second main drainage pipeline 11. Cooling seawater flows into the coil to dissipate heat.
[0130] Specifically, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the coil 801 is welded to the inner wall 105 of the sealed pressure chamber. By welding the coil to the inner wall 105 of the sealed pressure chamber, the welded area can increase the solid thermal conductivity, thereby increasing the heat dissipation capacity of the underwater power supplement device.
[0131] Specifically, in a specific implementation of the first embodiment of the present application, the distance L between adjacent windings can be adjusted. By adjusting the distance L, the heat dissipation capacity can be adjusted.
[0132] Specifically, in some embodiments, the control module 9 controls the start and stop of the diesel generator and various water pumps, as well as the opening and closing of various valves within the cabin, via the cabin control line 14. The control module 9 is provided with an external control bus interface 901, through which the control module 9 communicates with the underwater vehicle's main control system and a bus (e.g., a CAN bus). For example, when the underwater vehicle's main control system detects that the battery needs to be charged, it sends a charging instruction to the control module 9. Upon receiving the charging instruction, the control module 9 controls the underwater power supply device to operate and initiate charging. When the underwater vehicle's main control system detects that the battery is fully charged, it sends a stop charging instruction to the control module 9, causing the control module 9 to stop the underwater power supply device.
[0133] When the underwater power supplement device mentioned in the present application is used, it can be integrated as a whole into underwater navigation equipment (for example: AUV, underwater submersible, etc.), and can dive and surface together with the underwater navigation equipment.
[0134] The working process is described by taking the above-mentioned underwater power supplement device of the present application mounted on an AUV as an example. The working process is mainly divided into the floating charging process and the floating deep diving process.
[0135] Floating charging process: When the AUV needs to be charged, the AUV floats to a position near the water surface. The underwater power replenishment device of this application starts working according to the following steps:
[0136] S1. Folding air intake unit
[0137] Drive motor 3091 drives the folding air intake unit to an upright position, and upon reaching the desired position, motor 3091 self-locks, securing second air intake duct 305. The infrared observation and antenna module 310 performs autonomous communications and monitors the sea surface environment. When encountering a vessel or other surface condition, it generates a warning signal and transmits it to the AUV, enabling the AUV to autonomously maneuver and avoid the obstacle.
[0138] S2, open the intake and exhaust channels
[0139] The control module 9 first performs a programmatic self-check. After meeting the preset conditions, the control module 9 controls the opening of the second air intake solenoid valve 307, the first air intake solenoid valve 304, the first exhaust solenoid valve 503, and the second exhaust solenoid valve 504 in sequence to ensure that the intake and exhaust channels of the diesel generator are open.
[0140] S3. Start water collection and drainage function
[0141] Because the air inlet and outlet passages are open, seawater will flow in through the air inlet 308 and the anti-surge device 505. The seawater will first enter the water collection tank 401. When the seawater depth reaches the water inlet of the water inlet pipe 602, the seawater can flow into the flexible container 601 through the one-way valve 604. When the amount of seawater flowing into the air inlet 308 and the anti-surge device 505 is different, the movable baffle 402 can automatically move under the action of the water to adjust the water collection volume. When the water level in the water collection tank 401 reaches the upper limit, the control module 9 controls the drainage pump 406 to open, and the drainage pump 406 also controls the air intake valve 410, the exhaust valve 412, and the main drainage valve 408 to open. The drainage pump 406 discharges the water in the first space 403 through the air intake pipe 409, the drainage pump 406, and the first main drainage pipe 407 to the outside of the sealed pressure chamber 1. When the water level in the water collecting tank 401 is lower than the water inlet pipe 602 and higher than the drain pipe 603, the control module 9 controls the drain valve 605 to open, and the water in the flexible container 601 begins to be discharged into the water collecting tank 401 and discharged to the outside of the sealed pressure chamber 1 by the drain pump 406. When the water in the water collecting tank 401 is lower than the drain pipe 603, the water in the flexible container 601 is completely drained, and the control module 9 controls the drain valve 605 to close, and the flexible container 601 prepares to collect seawater next time. When the seawater level in the water collecting tank 401 is lower than the lower limit level, the control module 9 controls the drain pump 406, the air intake valve 410, the exhaust valve 412, and the main drain valve 408 to close, completing the drainage. The air intake and exhaust drainage can be drained separately according to the seawater level in the space where they are located.
[0142] S4. Turn on the cooling function
[0143] The control module 9 turns on the air intake fan and the exhaust fan to circulate the air in the sealed pressure cabin 1; then opens the water inlet solenoid valve 705, the water discharge solenoid valve 707, the main water inlet solenoid valve 1001, and the main water discharge solenoid valve 1101 in sequence, starts the cooling circulation water pump 703, and turns on the overall circulation cooling to dissipate heat.
[0144] S5. Start the diesel generator
[0145] The control module 9 checks the foldable air intake unit, rigid water collection unit, exhaust unit, flexible water collection unit, fixed heat dissipation module 7, and coiled heat dissipation module. If all tests are normal, it controls the diesel generator 2 to start generating electricity and charge the AUV battery. During the charging process, the underwater power replenishment device is tested in real time. If there is an early warning, the diesel generator 2 is shut down. The control module 9 performs relevant program self-tests and repairs. If the self-repair is unable to be carried out, a warning message is sent to the shore station command center.
[0146] Diving process:
[0147] When the main control system 13 of the AUV detects that the battery of the AUV is fully charged, the main control system 13 of the AUV sends an instruction to the control module 9 of the underwater power replenishment device 100, and the control module 9 controls the diesel generator 2 to stop working and close the air intake and exhaust channels. When the temperature sensor 12 provided in the sealed pressure cabin 1 detects that the temperature in the sealed pressure cabin 1 meets the diving temperature, the control module 9 controls to turn off the heat dissipation function. When it is detected that the liquid level in the water collecting tank 401 is lower than the lower limit level, the water collecting and drainage function is turned off. The control module 9 controls the drive motor 3091 to fold the second air intake pipe 305 of the folding air intake unit and lock it in a predetermined position. The control module 9 starts to perform a closed state self-check. When all the preset values are reached, a diving instruction is sent to the main control system 13 of the AUV, and the entire AUV can dive.
[0148] The closing order of each valve body in each functional module is opposite to that of opening.
[0149] The second aspect embodiment of the present application provides an underwater navigation device, which includes an underwater vehicle and an underwater power replenishment device installed on the underwater vehicle. The underwater power replenishment device adopts the underwater power replenishment device described in the first aspect embodiment of the present application. The diesel generator of the underwater power replenishment device is connected to the battery energy of the underwater vehicle to charge the battery energy.
[0150] The above embodiments are used to explain the present application rather than to limit the present application. Any modifications and changes made to the present application within the spirit of the present application and the protection scope of the claims shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
