TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of underwater towed bodies, and particularly relates to a slide launching and recovering device for a non-bow tow point underwater towed body. BACKGROUND

[0002] The recovery form of an elongated underwater towed body / UUV is usually to design a tow point at the bow of the towed body / UUV, and through towing the bow of the underwater towed body / UUV, the direction of the towing force applied to the towed body / UUV is consistent with the direction of the slide, so that the bow of the underwater towed body / UUV can smoothly sail above the slide to complete the launching and recovering operation. In the aspect of slide recovery of UUV, the launching and recovering systems of the Bluefin-12AUV of the Bluefin Robotics Company of the United States, the HUGIN UUV of the Kongsberg Company of Norway and the ISE Explore UUV of Canada all adopt the inclined slide launching and recovering scheme. This kind of launching and recovering scheme requires that the UUV has the capability of capture docking and the UUV has a bow tow point, and the bow of the UUV is towed into the slide through the bow tow point in the recovering process. In the aspect of slide recovery of underwater towed bodies, the ECA T18-M, AQS-24 towed sonar load and THALSS towed sonar load of France all adopt the form of bow tow point towing, but in the scheme, the towed body is in a vertical posture when the platform is stationary, and the demand for horizontal operation of the towed body in a static state cannot be met, so there is an urgent need for a slide launching and recovering scheme for an elongated underwater towed body / UUV with a non-bow tow point.

[0003] The static launching and recovering process and the dynamic towing process of the elongated underwater towed body / UUV with a non-bow tow point depend on the non-bow tow point (i.e., the back tow point). The back position tow point causes the underwater towed body / UUV to move around the back tow point in the static or dynamic launching and recovering process, and the bow of the underwater towed body / UUV is not towed, so how to align and sail into the slide becomes a difficult problem. Compared with the underwater towed body / UUV with a bow tow point, the key technology and difficulty of the underwater towed body / UUV with a non-bow tow point in the slide launching and recovering scheme is how the bow of the underwater towed body / UUV enters the slide and how to avoid the wear and tear and structural interference of the tow cable on the slide launching and recovering device. Therefore, the traditional slide launching and recovering technology does not have the recovery capability for the underwater towed body / UUV with a non-bow tow point. SUMMARY

[0032] The present application will be further described in conjunction with the specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings:

[0033] The existing slide recovery technology is commonly used for the recovery of slender bow tow point towed body / UUV, and the recovery process is to connect the bow of underwater towed body / UUV through a cable and tow the underwater towed body / UUV into the slide through a winch. However, for underwater towed bodies with non-bow tow points, the bow attitude of the towed body changes under complex sea conditions due to the influence of ocean currents and waves, and the direction of the bow is uncontrollable and difficult to enter the slide. Therefore, the traditional slide recovery technology does not have the recovery capability for underwater towed bodies / UUV with non-bow tow points. The purpose of the present application is to solve the problem of how to make the bow of large-scale slender underwater towed bodies / UUV with non-bow tow points enter the upper part of the slide and smoothly enter the slide.

The end of the slide adopts a guide cover type positive guide structure, and the damper below the guide cover plays a role of impact buffering and shock absorption. In the retraction process, the limiting block can limit the movement posture of the underwater towed body / UUV with a non-bow tow point, so that the bow points to the slide channel and smoothly guides the underwater towed body / UUV to enter above the slide. In the embodiment, the outer edge of the guide cover adopts an outward turning arc structure, which can effectively reduce the damage to the towed body.

[0046] As shown in Figure 5 the cable position adjusting device 5 comprises two left and right arranged supporting arms 52, the lower ends of the supporting arms 52 are respectively provided with supporting arm supports 53, the upper ends of the supporting arms 52 are close to each other in the direction of the top end of the slide and are rotatably connected with the rotating shaft of the tow cable turning wheel 51, the telescopic arm oil cylinder 54 is connected to the middle lower part of the supporting arm and extends to the slide bracket 45 along the direction of the slide, the driving shaft at the front end of the telescopic arm oil cylinder 54 is movably connected with the supporting arm 52, and the rear end of the telescopic arm oil cylinder 54 is provided with an oil cylinder support 55, which is fixed on the slide bracket 45.

[0047] As an embodiment, the slide is a conformal slide matched with the underwater towed body / UUV. The slide retraction device has the ability of retraction and storage of the underwater towed body / UUV with a non-bow tow point. By replacing the conformal slide structure, the retraction and storage of underwater towed bodies and UUVs with various specifications and non-bow tow points can be realized.

By reasonably controlling the supporting point and direction of the tow cable, the retraction and release operation of the underwater towed body / UUV with a non-bow tow point can be facilitated.

[0049] The present application combines the slide retraction form with the A-frame form for the first time, and a cable position adjusting device in the form of an A-frame is designed at the end of the slide, which breaks through the difficulty of the bow of the underwater towed body / UUV with a non-bow tow point entering above the slide, and widens the design limit of the bow position of the underwater towed body / UUV tow point when the slide retraction form is used.

[0050] The application can effectively solve the technical problem that the conventional slide form is difficult to enter the upper side of the slide for the non-bow drag point underwater towed body / UUV.
