Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fishery fishing, and in particular to a remote-controlled light trapping auxiliary boat system. Background Art

[0002] Traditional light-trapping fishing is typically operated manually. Large fishing vessels use lights to attract fish and set out large nets. Once the fish are drawn to the U-shaped opening, the vessel's lights are turned off, and a 7-meter-long light-trapping vessel is deployed. Two crew members manually maneuver the vessel and turn on a 35kW light to draw the fish into the net.

[0003] However, this traditional operation model presents numerous problems. First, labor costs are high. Traditional light-trapping vessels require the coordinated operation of multiple personnel, increasing both labor costs and operational complexity. Second, nighttime operations are dangerous. The nighttime operating environment is complex, and small boats operating in sea conditions of Level 3 to 4 are prone to accidents involving people falling overboard, potentially endangering the lives of workers. Furthermore, traditional light-trapping vessels have limited maneuverability, making it difficult to precisely control the movement and position of fish schools, resulting in low fishing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a remote-controlled light trapping auxiliary boat system to solve the problems of labor cost and operation safety of existing traditional light trapping boats.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a remote-controlled light trapping auxiliary boat system, comprising: a hull; a remote-controlled driving system, the remote-controlled driving system comprising a 2.4GHz high-frequency remote controller, a remote controller receiver, a device control terminal, a camera, a voltage output module, an electric regulator and a propeller, the remote controller being connected to the device control terminal via the remote controller receiver, the device control terminal being respectively connected to the camera, the voltage output module and the electric regulator, and the electric regulator being connected to the propeller; a light adjustment system, the light adjustment system comprising a relay and a light, the relay being connected to the device control terminal, and the light being connected to the relay; and a diesel generator being connected to the light.

[0006] Specifically, the light adjustment system further includes a PWM signal adjustment module, which is connected to the device control terminal and is used to adjust the brightness of the light.

[0007] Specifically, the lights include red, green and white lights.

[0008] Specifically, the remote control driving system further includes a throttle control unit, which is connected to the device control terminal and is used to control the rotation speed of the propeller.

[0009] Specifically, the device control terminal includes: a handheld remote control SBUS protocol serial port communication parsing unit; a throttle control parsing and analog output management unit; and a light on / off and brightness control output unit.

[0010] A method for controlling a remote-controlled light trapping auxiliary boat system comprises the following steps:

[0011] 1) Send control signals via 2.4GHz high-frequency remote control;

[0012] 2) The remote control receiver receives the control signal and transmits it to the device control terminal;

[0013] 3) The device control terminal analyzes the control signal and controls the movement of the propeller, the switching of the light, and the brightness adjustment according to the analysis result;

[0014] 4) The camera transmits real-time images back to the remote control screen, so that the boat can be accurately controlled to enter the U-shaped network port.

[0015] The principle and beneficial effects of this technical solution:

[0016] The remote-controlled light-trapping auxiliary boat system of this invention integrates remote control technology and a lighting control system, achieving intelligent transformation of traditional light-trapping boats. Utilizing communication between a 2.4GHz high-frequency remote control and a shipboard equipment control terminal, remote control of boat movement, lighting on / off, and brightness adjustment is achieved. With real-time camera image transmission, operators can precisely maneuver the boat into the U-shaped net port and complete the trapping operation while staying away from hazardous areas.

[0017] Traditional light-trap boats require multiple operators, but this system can be fully operated by one person. Control of the propeller, lights, and other equipment is accomplished via remote control, streamlining the operation process and reducing manpower requirements and labor intensity. Nighttime operations are complex, and traditional manually operated boats are prone to danger. However, this system, through remote control, eliminates direct exposure to hazardous environments and reduces the risks of nighttime operations. The system is equipped with adjustable brightness and color lights, enabling precise control based on the lighting preferences of different fish species. Using a PWM signal modulation module, operators can adjust light brightness in real time, gradually drawing fish into the net, improving fishing efficiency and accuracy.

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0022] Example:

[0023] 1. Hull reconstruction scheme design

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, based on the traditional light trapping boat, the following modifications were made to the hull to achieve the remote control function. The modifications to the hull mainly include the following aspects:

[0025] Install the remote control driving system: Install a 2.4GHz high-frequency remote control receiver, equipment control terminal, camera, voltage output module, electric speed controller and thruster on the hull. Among them:

[0026] 2.4GHz high-frequency remote control: Serves as the operator's control terminal and is used to send control signals, including throttle control signals for thrusters, light switches, and brightness adjustment signals.

[0027] Remote control receiver: Installed on the hull, used to receive the signal sent by the 2.4GHz high-frequency remote control and transmit it to the device control terminal.

[0028] Device control terminal: The core control unit of the system, responsible for analyzing the signals sent by the remote control and sending control instructions to other devices based on the analysis results. It includes the following functional units:

[0029] 1) Handheld remote control SBUS protocol serial port communication parsing unit: Receives and parses the SBUS protocol signal sent by the remote control and converts it into instructions that can be recognized by the device control terminal.

[0030] 2) Throttle control analysis and analog output management unit: Analyzes the throttle signal and converts it into a PWM signal and outputs it to the electronic controller to achieve precise control of the propeller speed.

[0031] 3) Light on / off and brightness control output unit: Analyzes the light switch and brightness adjustment signals, controls the light switch through the relay, and adjusts the light brightness through the PWM signal.

[0032] Camera: Installed on the hull, it is used to collect real-time video images around the ship and transmit the images back to the remote control screen so that the operator can intuitively observe the ship's operating status and surrounding environment, thereby achieving precise control.

[0033] Voltage output module: provides stable power support for electrical equipment in the system.

[0034] Electronic speed controller (ESC): Controls the propeller's speed and direction of rotation according to the instructions from the equipment control terminal, thereby enabling the ship to move forward, backward, turn, and other movements.

[0035] Propeller: As the power output device of the ship, it operates according to the control signal of the electronic regulator to propel the ship to move.

[0036] The operator sends control signals via a 2.4GHz high-frequency remote control. The remote control receiver receives the signals and transmits them to the device control terminal. The device control terminal analyzes the signals and, based on the analysis results, sends control commands to the ESC and lighting control systems. The ESCs control the propeller speed and direction according to the device control terminal's commands, enabling remote control of the boat. The device control terminal also controls the lights on and off, adjusting their brightness based on the remote control signals to meet different fishing needs. A camera captures real-time video footage of the boat's surroundings and transmits it back to the remote control screen, allowing the operator to precisely control the boat's entry into the U-shaped network port.

[0037] Remote control of the vessel reduces manpower requirements and labor intensity, improving operational safety and fishing efficiency. Real-time camera feeds allow operators to precisely control the vessel while staying away from dangerous areas. Lighting color and brightness can be remotely adjusted to precisely trap fish species and the operating environment. The system is equipped with two propellers, which, by varying their speed and direction, enable the vessel to move forward, backward, turn, and pivot, enhancing operational flexibility and efficiency.

[0038] Installing the lighting control system: Relays and lights are installed on the hull. The relays are connected to the equipment control terminal, and the lights are connected to the relays. The lighting control system also includes a PWM signal control module for adjusting the light brightness. The operator can remotely control the lights on and off and adjust the brightness using buttons and a dial on the remote control. The lighting system also features red, green, and white lights to suit the color preferences of different fish species.

[0039] Installing a diesel generator: To meet the power needs of the lighting system, a diesel generator is installed on the hull. Connected to the lighting system, the generator provides stable power. Through the device control terminal, operators can remotely start and stop the generator to ensure the normal operation of the lighting system.

[0040] Camera and Live Transmission System Installation: A camera is mounted on the vessel's hull to capture real-time footage of the vessel's surroundings. The camera transmits the footage back to the remote control screen via the device's control terminal, allowing the operator to precisely steer the vessel into the U-shaped net opening. The camera's mounting position and angle are carefully designed to ensure clear capture of the fish's movements and the vessel's movements.

[0041] Through these modifications, the traditional light trapping vessel has been successfully upgraded to a remote-controlled light trapping auxiliary vessel. Operators can remotely control the vessel and precisely adjust the lights using a remote control, even from a distance from the danger zone.

[0042] 2 Lighting control scheme design

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, based on the degree to which fish are attracted to lights of different colors and intensities, we designed the following lighting control scheme:

[0044] Light Color Selection: To meet the color preferences of different fish species, the system is equipped with red, green, and white lights. The operator can select different light colors by pressing a button on the remote control. The device control terminal receives the button signal and controls the corresponding light color via a relay. For example, when the operator presses the red light button, the device control terminal sends a signal to the relay, which connects the circuit for the red light, turning it on.

[0045] Light Brightness Adjustment: To precisely control the position of fish schools, the system is equipped with a PWM signal adjustment module. The operator can adjust the light brightness in real time using the oscillator on the remote control. The device control terminal receives the oscillator signal, converts it into a PWM signal, and adjusts the light brightness via a relay. For example, when the operator adjusts the oscillator to maximum, the device control terminal outputs a PWM signal with a maximum duty cycle, achieving maximum light brightness. When the operator adjusts the oscillator to minimum or turns it off, the device control terminal outputs a PWM signal with a minimum duty cycle or turns off the PWM signal, turning off the light.

[0046] Lighting Control Process: In actual operation, the operator first selects the appropriate light color using the remote control, then gradually adjusts the light brightness based on the movement of the fish school. When the fish are attracted to the light trapping boat, the operator can observe the school's position and movement through the camera and adjust the light brightness in real time using the dial on the remote control, gradually leading the fish into the large net. Once the fish enter the net, the operator can gradually reduce the light brightness until the light goes out, completing the trapping operation.

[0047] Through the above-mentioned lighting control scheme, the present invention can flexibly adjust the color and brightness of the light according to the preferences of different fish species and the working environment, effectively improving the fishing efficiency and accuracy.

[0048] 3. Throttle control scheme design

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention realizes remote control of propeller speed through the following scheme:

[0050] Throttle Control Unit Design: The throttle control unit is integrated into the device's control terminal. It receives the throttle signal from the remote controller and converts it into a PWM signal, which it outputs to the electronic speed controller (ESC). The ESC controls the propeller speed based on the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The operator adjusts the throttle using the joystick on the remote controller, thereby controlling the vessel's speed and direction.

[0051] Propeller speed control: When the operator adjusts the throttle using the joystick on the remote control, the remote control receiver transmits the signal to the device control terminal. The device control terminal interprets the signal and outputs a corresponding PWM signal to the electronic speed controller (ESC). The ESC controls the propeller speed based on the duty cycle of the PWM signal. For example, when the operator pushes the joystick to its maximum position, the device control terminal outputs a PWM signal with a maximum duty cycle, achieving maximum propeller speed. When the operator pushes the joystick to its minimum position or turns it off, the device control terminal outputs a PWM signal with a minimum duty cycle or turns off the PWM signal, stopping the propeller.

[0052] Steering Control: To achieve directional control, the system is equipped with two thrusters. By varying the speed and direction of these two thrusters, the vessel can move forward, backward, turn, and even turn in place. For example, to move forward, both thrusters rotate forward simultaneously; to turn, one thruster rotates forward while the other reverses or stops. This allows the operator to flexibly control the vessel's direction and speed using the joystick on the remote control.

[0053] Through the above-mentioned throttle control scheme, the present invention realizes the remote control movement of the ship. The operator can flexibly control the forward, backward, turning and on-the-spot steering of the ship through the remote control, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the operation.

[0054] 4. Design of software architecture for device control terminal

[0055] The software architecture is designed as follows:

[0056] Handheld Remote Control SBUS Protocol Serial Port Communication Parsing Unit: This unit receives SBUS protocol signals from the remote control and parses them into commands recognizable by the device control terminal. SBUS is a commonly used remote control communication protocol capable of transmitting a variety of control signals, including throttle, light on / off, and brightness adjustment. This unit enables the device control terminal to accurately receive and interpret signals from the remote control.

[0057] Throttle Control Analysis and Analog Output Management Unit: This unit analyzes the throttle signal sent by the remote controller and converts it into a PWM signal for output to the ESC. This unit also manages the ESC's analog output, ensuring it accurately controls the propeller speed based on the PWM signal's duty cycle. This unit enables the device control terminal to achieve precise control of the propeller speed.

[0058] Light On / Off and Brightness Control Output Unit: This unit analyzes the light on / off and brightness adjustment signals sent by the remote control and converts them into relay control signals and PWM signals. This unit controls the light on / off via relays and adjusts the light brightness via PWM signals. Through this unit, the device control terminal can achieve precise control of the light.

[0059] The software on the device control terminal, through the coordinated operation of these units, enables remote control of the remote-controlled light trapping support vessel. The operator sends signals via the remote control, which the device control terminal receives and interprets to control the movement of the propellers and the on / off and brightness adjustment of the lights, thus enabling remote control of the vessel and light trapping.

[0060] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and common knowledge such as the specific technical solutions or characteristics in the solution is not described in detail here. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, several variations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the description can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
