[0054] The original recovery and deployment system used a crane to release the submersible into the water and also used a crane to recover the submersible.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the present invention provides a rapid retraction and deployment system for a submersible on a scientific research mother ship, the rapid retraction and deployment system for a submersible on a scientific research mother ship comprising a hull 1, a moon pool door 2, and a moving device 3;

[0059] An opening 11 is provided on one side of the rear portion of the hull 1 to form a moon pool 12 for filling with an external horizontal surface. The submersible 100 can enter the moon pool 12.

[0060] Moon pool door 2, used to block the open mouth 11;

[0061] The moving device 3 moves the submersible 100 in the moonpool 2 to a predetermined position after the moonpool door 2 blocks the moonpool 12.

[0062] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of a rapid deployment and retraction system for a submersible on a scientific research mother ship. The stern of the hull 1 has an opening 11 extending vertically through it. Because the bottom of the hull 1 is submerged in water, a natural moonpool is formed. A moonpool door 2 is located at the outermost opening of the moonpool. The length and width of the moonpool 12 accommodate the entire submersible 100. Once the submersible 100 enters the moonpool 12, the moonpool door 2 is closed, and the moving device 3 can then move the submersible 100 to a predetermined location. This helps address the technical issue of extremely low lifting efficiency in existing technologies.

[0063] In one embodiment, a deployment device 4 is provided in the middle of the hull 1 along the length direction, and one end of the deployment device 4 is connected to the rear of the hull 1 to form a deployment outlet 41 . The moon pool door 2 is also used to block the deployment outlet 41 .

[0064] In this embodiment, a specific implementation method of arranging a deployment device 4 on the deck 101 of the hull 1 is provided. The deployment device 4 and the recovery structure formed by the moon pool 12 together complete the deployment of the entire system.

[0065] In one embodiment, the scientific research mother ship submersible rapid retraction and deployment system further includes a pumping device 5 , which is used to drain the water in the moon pool 12 .

[0066] In this embodiment, a specific implementation of a pumping device 5 is provided.

[0067] In one embodiment, the moving device 3 includes a guide rail 31 and a moving vehicle 32;

[0068] The mobile vehicle 32 has adsorption capability and can position the submersible 100 . The mobile vehicle 32 is deployed by dragging a rope.

[0069] In this embodiment, an adsorption material on a mobile vehicle 32 and a magnetic material at a corresponding position of the submersible 100 are adsorbed to position the relative positions of the mobile vehicle 32 and the submersible 100, and then the submersible 100 is moved by dragging with a rope.

[0070] In one embodiment, the deployment outlet 41 is a sloped surface and is inserted below the horizontal plane.

[0071] In this embodiment, a specific structure is provided in which the deployment outlet 41 is a sloped surface. Deployment can be achieved by a flap, or the sloped surface can be added to the water, which can make it easier to deploy the submersible 100. If the adsorption material is given adsorption capacity by passing it through an energized coil, after power is cut off, the rope can be loosened to allow the submersible 100 to be completely separated from the mobile vehicle 32. The buoyancy of the submersible 100 at this time can meet the floating state, so the submersible 100 can achieve subsequent navigation through its own power system.

[0072] In one embodiment, the hull 1 has an internal compartment 10, which carries multiple submersibles 100. The moving device 3 moves the submersibles 100 in the internal compartment 10 to the deck 101 of the hull 1, and then moves them from the deck 101 to the deployment outlet 41 through the deployment device 4.

[0073] In this embodiment, a specific implementation method of an internal empty compartment 10 to accommodate a submersible 100 is provided, and an overall process system from recovery to deployment is constructed, which can achieve an easy management method of deployment by leveraging buoyancy.

[0074] In one embodiment, the internal cavity 10 has an internal water pool that can be filled with an external water source, so as to adjust the position of the submersible on the deployment device 4 .

[0075] In this embodiment, unified submersible deployment is performed through an internal water pool.

[0076] In one embodiment, a lifting platform 20 is provided inside the internal cabin 10 for lifting the submersible 100 to above the deck 101 and then deploying it through the deployment device 4 .

[0077] In this embodiment, a method is provided for lifting the submersible 100 via a lifting platform 20 to connect with the deployment device 4.

[0078] In one embodiment, the moon pool 12 and the water storage tank of the internal cavity 10 are connected.

[0079] In this embodiment, a moon pool 12 and an internal cavity 10 are provided to form a through water system for connecting and deploying. An entrance door is provided at the rear of the internal cavity 10 for the submersible 100 to enter the internal cavity 10.

[0080] In one embodiment, the present invention also provides a scientific research mother ship having a scientific research mother ship submersible rapid retraction and deployment system, and the scientific research mother ship has the scientific research mother ship submersible rapid retraction and deployment system.

[0081] In this embodiment, a specific implementation of a ship with a rapid retraction and deployment system for a submersible on a scientific research mother ship is provided.

[0082] exist Figure 6 In the process, we let the submersible 100 enter through the entrance door of the internal cabin 10, then lift the submersible 100 to the deck 101 through the lifting platform 20, and then deploy it through the deployment device 4.

[0083] Beneficial effects:

[0084] Quick Release Recovery Vehicle

[0085] The installation of the rear door crane was eliminated, saving construction costs.

[0086] The track is divided into two parts: 1. The horizontal track of the track. 2. The inclined retractable track

[0087] The new operation scheme extends the retractable track so that it extends obliquely downward into the water. The submersible enters the water directly along the track, which can be sent into the water very quickly.

[0088] A flatbed trolley with a magnetic attraction is installed on the track to move the submersible. The magnetic attraction can fix the submersible on the trolley paper. Once the flatbed trolley and the submersible enter the water, the magnetic attraction is cut off and the submersible can quickly enter the water.

[0089] When recovering a submersible: the stern ballast tank of the ship can be filled with water, and the bow ballast tank can be controlled to put the ship in a stern-tilt state, reducing the difficulty of recovery.

[0090] The recyclable track extends into the water with a trolley with a magnetic suction function. When the submersible approaches the trolley, the magnetic suction function is activated to fix the submersible on the trolley paper, and the trolley is pulled back using a towing rope.

[0091] A moon pool is located between ribs 45 and 60 on the ship, connecting the interior of the ship to the sea. Submersibles can also be released and recovered through the moon pool.

[0092] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within the spirit and scope of protection of the present invention, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
