As a key hub connecting the Yangtze River Basin with the ocean, it is also one of the busiest waterways and a core strategic area for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Therefore, the requirements for waterway monitoring are relatively high. Furthermore, some inland rivers and coastal waterway regulation structures are located in waters with complex bottom sediments, turbulent currents, and turbulent flow, posing significant challenges to monitoring.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. This channel monitoring unmanned boat has an auxiliary drive mechanism set in front of the center of gravity of the boat body through the drive bridge. In this way, in addition to the jet propeller at the rear of the boat body, additional side power is added to increase the power of the unmanned boat on the inland waterway. When encountering a strong cross current, the forward thrust of the boat body interacts with the cross current to generate a deflection thrust on the water swing mechanism at the bottom. Then, the tracking following mechanism uses the bidirectional motor to react the deflection thrust to the main shaft. The rotation of the main shaft is used to control the auxiliary drive mechanism to drive toward the water surface where the cross current and the forward thrust of the boat body are combined. Then, the auxiliary drive mechanism gives the unmanned boat an adaptive correction pulling and propulsion force in front of the center of gravity of the boat body, thereby ensuring a stable course and speed, meeting the needs of the unmanned boat to operate under complex power conditions.

[0024] 2. The channel monitoring unmanned boat controls the overall rotation of the drive bridge by setting an active frame. When the unmanned boat is sailing in the flat flow area, if it has sufficient heading thrust, it can use the overall rotation of the drive bridge to retract the water swing mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism to avoid excessive speed or sinking into the water and getting caught on aquatic plants.

The length of the pulling rope 105 arranged between the pressure sealing ball 106 and the water swing mechanism 4 leaves enough room for the water swing mechanism 4 to swing.

[0055] That is, when the water swing frame 10 is retracted as the drive axle 2 is driven by the active frame 9, the pulling rope 105, one end of which is fixed on the hull 1, will be pulled as the drive axle 2 rotates, thereby tightening the length of the pulling rope 105, causing the water swing mechanism 4 to gradually center under the pulling, and then smoothly enter the pressure receiving groove 102.

[0061] Generally, the pitch of the second volute 61 is set to be a geometrically enlarged setting of the pitch of the first volute 52, and the number of teeth on the first spur gear 62 corresponds to the number of teeth on the end face of the first end face gear 53. This makes the deflection angle of the second volute 61 and the first volute 52 tend to be synchronized with the water swing mechanism 4 under the coaxial rotation of the main shaft 3, so that the auxiliary drive mechanism 7 faces the comprehensive direction of the water flow in front of the hull 1.
