An underwater docking device with power transmission capability and a docking method thereof

Abstract

This invention discloses an underwater docking device and method with power transmission capability. It includes a male connector and a female connector base. In the male connector: a mounting shaft, an electromagnet mounting bracket, and an underwater electromagnet are coaxially arranged on the male connector mounting base. A male angled iron core mounting seat is fitted outside the mounting shaft and is connected to the male connector mounting base via a spring. Several male angled iron cores are mounted on the male connector angled iron core mounting seat, each with a primary insulated magnetic wire winding. In the female connector base: several female angled iron cores are connected between the female connector base mounting base and an external guide component, each with a secondary insulated magnetic wire winding. This invention, by combining a floating support structure and a composite guiding structure, achieves precise coordination of adaptive position correction and magnetic circuit closure between the male connector and the female connector base during underwater docking.
