Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of buoyancy materials technology, and more specifically, to a simple, modular buoyancy material and buoyancy block. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, a large number of intelligent and unmanned equipment have begun to emerge, and unmanned combat systems have become an important component of modern military equipment. In recent years, underwater unmanned vehicles have developed rapidly, possessing advantages such as good stealth, low cost, simple deployment and retrieval, and flexible operation. They can also perform missions in harsh and dangerous environments, effectively reducing the risk of personnel casualties.

[0003] Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) integrate intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare, detection / identification, marine surveys, communication / navigation network nodes, and payload delivery, making them an important component of modern naval construction.

[0004] When an underwater unmanned vehicle (UUV) is in motion, its movement is controlled by an in-cabin control system. When the UUV is static, maintaining attitude control requires additional mechanical moving parts, control units, and other components, complicating the UUV's structure. When the UUV is static, all moving parts cease movement, so its attitude remains relatively constant. As long as the attitude meets requirements, no additional components are needed. Since the UUV's static attitude is singular, buoyancy materials can be used to adjust it. However, most buoyancy materials currently used in UUVs are designed specifically for their structure, lacking universality. Therefore, a simple, modular buoyancy material structure needs to be designed and installed on the UUV to adjust its entry attitude into the water. Summary of the Invention
