Description

[0002] Underwater drones, also known as unmanned remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), are drones designed for extreme underwater operations. The underwater environment is harsh and dangerous, and human diving depths are limited, so underwater robots have become an important tool for ocean development.

[0003] Underwater drones are usually equipped with automated clamps for collecting objects on the bottom of the water. The clamps thereon only have a clamping function, so that the operation of the underwater drone can only be driven by a thruster, which undoubtedly makes the underwater drone have high energy consumption. Underwater drones are usually powered by batteries. However, if the battery is too large, it will increase the weight of the underwater drone, which not only makes the energy consumption of the underwater drone large during operation, but also makes the underwater drone less flexible during operation. If the battery is too small, it will affect the endurance of the underwater drone. In order to solve the above problems, a portable underwater drone and a power supply device thereof are now provided.

[0051] The second baffle 95 and the third baffle 96 are provided with symmetrically distributed slots 98 on their upper sides, and the third baffle 96 is fixed with symmetrically distributed vertical brackets 97 on its upper side.

An electric wire 911 is connected to the plug 918. A pull rope 912 is fixed to one side of the electric wire 911. The electric wire 911 and the pull rope 912 are wound around the reel 99. The free ends of the electric wire 911 and the pull rope 912 are fixed to one side of the casing 1.

[0053] Both sides of the bottom plate 91 are provided with symmetrically distributed thread grooves 919. Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a movable groove 9110 is opened at one end of the first baffle 92 close to the bottom plate 91, and a mounting hole 921 is opened at the end of the movable groove 9110 away from the first baffle 92.

The mounting shaft 932 passes through the mounting hole 921 and is vertically fixed with a connecting rod 933, and an insert rod 934 adapted to the slot 98 is fixed on the connecting rod 933.

[0054] When in use, the underwater drone is placed on the drive box 94, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown, the wheel 913 can be adjusted to be vertical by folding the first baffle 92 upward, and then the control rod 934 is inserted into the corresponding slot 98. At this time, the power supply device can be used as a cart to facilitate carrying the underwater drone.

[0055] By flattening the first baffle 92, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the wheel 913 is then rotated so that it becomes horizontal and is located below the first baffle 92. The limiting member 93 is then rotated so that the screw rod 935 is installed in the threaded groove 919 to limit the first baffle 92 and place the power supply device on the water surface. At this time, the wheel 913 can increase the buoyancy of the power supply device.

[0056] The first motor and the first electric telescopic rod 74 cooperate to control the two clamping plates 712 to be located on both sides of the power supply device, and the sixth motor 78 and the third motor 79 cooperate to adjust the clamping plates 712 to be parallel to the first electric telescopic rod 74, and then the paddling operation is performed, specifically as follows:

[0057] By extending the second electric telescopic rod 75, the splint 712 can be inserted into the water surface, and by starting the second motor 73 to control the arc movement of the second electric telescopic rod 75, the splint 712 moves the water surface, thereby controlling the movement of the power supply device on the water surface. When the splint 712 is out of the water, the second electric telescopic rod 75 is retracted and the second motor 73 is controlled to reverse to reset the splint 712, and then the next paddling is carried out, and the moving direction of the power supply device is adjusted by starting the first motor.

[0058] The control splint 712 moves to the top of the drive box 94, the first motor is started to make one of the first electric telescopic rods 74 face the slope, and then the second electric telescopic rod 75 is controlled to rotate downward, and the splint 712 is controlled to rotate downward to the horizontal, and then the housing 1 is controlled to move. The specific operation is as follows: by starting the second electric telescopic rod 75 to control the splint 712 to be supported on the drive box 94, the second electric telescopic rod 75 is continued to be started to lift the housing 1 so that the caster 61 moves out of the limit slot, and the fourth electric telescopic rod 916 is started to control the plug 914 to move out of the slide slot 915. The retraction rod 74 extends the other first electric telescopic rod 74 to shorten the caster 61 on one of the support frames 6 to move to the slope, and the second electric telescopic rod 75 is retracted so that the caster 61 is supported on the drive box 94 again, and then the first electric telescopic rod 74 is reset, and the housing 1 is controlled to move again so that the casters 61 on the two support frames 6 are finally moved to the slope, and the second baffle 95 is controlled to rotate to tilt downward by starting the fifth motor, and the splint 712 is controlled to disengage from the drive box 94 by retracting the second electric telescopic rod 75. Under the action of gravity, the unmanned house on the water slides into the water along the slope and the second baffle 95.

[0059] The six motor 78 and the third motor 79 cooperate to adjust the two splints 712 to be relative to each other, and the second motor 73, the first electric telescopic rod 74 and the second electric telescopic rod 75 cooperate to control the two splints 712 to clamp the counterweight 8. The movement of the underwater drone is controlled by starting the thruster 2, and the center of gravity position of the counterweight 8 is adjusted by the second motor 73 and the second electric telescopic rod 75, thereby adjusting the tilt direction of the underwater drone head and controlling the movement direction of the underwater drone.

[0060] When the underwater drone reaches the bottom of the water, the control splint 712 is used to release the counterweight 8, and then the first motor, the second motor 73, the first electric telescopic rod 74 and the second electric telescopic rod 75 cooperate with the control splint 712 to clamp the object to be collected. By starting the first motor, the control splint 712 is moved to the front of the entrance and exit of the storage cage 5. The second motor 73, the second electric telescopic rod 75 and the sixth motor 78 cooperate with the control splint 712 to press down the push plate 53, so that the cage door 52 opens. Then, by starting the second electric telescopic rod 75, the collected object clamped by the splint 712 is sent into the storage cage 5. Then, the control splint 712 is used to release the collected object and pull the splint 712 out of the storage cage 5. Under the action of the first spring 55, the cage door 52 is closed to realize the collection of the collected object.

[0061] When the underwater drone rises from the bottom of the water, the second electric telescopic rod 75 is controlled to rotate downward to vertical, the sliding shaft 711 is controlled to rotate to tilt downward, and then the propeller 2 is turned off. Under the action of gravity, the splint 712 contacts the ground, and then under the action of the second spring 713, the underwater drone tilts and bounces upward, which can make the underwater drone automatically jump on the bottom of the water without power, saving electricity and increasing the working time of the underwater drone.

[0062] When the underwater drone is out of power, the fourth motor 910 and the fourth electric telescopic rod 916 cooperate to control the plug block 914 to be inserted into the slide groove 915, and the control plug 918 is plugged into the socket 917 to charge the underwater drone, which can increase the flight time of the underwater drone.

[0063] When the underwater drone is finished working, the plug 918 is pulled out from the socket 917, and the fourth motor 910 is started to reel in the wire 911 and the pull rope 912, so as to pull the surface drone into the limit slot.
