Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of underwater vehicle safety technology, and more specifically, to a two-way synchronous release device. Background Technology
[0002] An underwater vehicle (UV) is a new type of marine monitoring equipment that is self-powered, autonomously propelled, and autonomously controlled, possessing underwater maneuvering and sensing capabilities. It can operate independently of its mother ship and has broad application prospects in both military and civilian marine development. During missions, the complex and ever-changing underwater environment presents significant uncertainties and dangers. If a malfunction occurs or external factors cause the UV to lose control, it risks sinking or being lost, resulting in substantial losses. A jettisoning device is needed to remove heavy loads, reducing the vehicle's weight to less than its buoyancy, allowing it to surface. If the UV sinks and the jettisoning device is unable to function, a buoy is simultaneously released to accurately indicate the UV's underwater position, greatly reducing the risk of loss.
[0003] Currently, there are many types of release devices used in underwater robots both domestically and internationally. These can be broadly categorized into explosive bolt type, electromagnetic adsorption type, and fusion type. Explosive bolt type release devices use pyrotechnics, have high requirements for transportation, installation, and use, are costly, and have a large explosive impact. Electromagnetic adsorption type release devices require continuous power supply during operation, resulting in high energy consumption. Fusion type release devices require a large current to melt the metal wire, and their control principle is relatively complex. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Specifically, the buoy 13 is a cylinder with a density less than that of water, and has an annular groove in its radial direction for winding a silk rope 14 around it. When the vehicle loses control during navigation, the buoy 13 is released, and under the action of positive buoyancy, the silk rope 14 unfolds, and the buoy 13 rises to the water surface to accurately indicate the position of the vehicle.

Before the actuator 3 receives the control command of the aircraft, the long slide bar 16 will not move, and the buoy 13 is limited in the hole seat of the upper housing 7 by the pressure plate 12.
[0032] The brocade rope 14 is made of lightweight, high-strength, and wear-resistant fiber material. One end is fixed to the buckle 17, and the other end is wrapped around the buoy 13.
[0033] The long compression spring 15 passes through the long slide rod 16, with one end limited by the float washer 18 and the other end limited by the bottom surface of the hole seat of the upper housing 7. In normal state, it is in a compressed state, which allows the float 13 to release and store power.
[0034] The buoy washer 18 is a hollow cylinder with a flange-shaped end face at one end. The center of the cylinder passes through the long slide rod 16, and the part with the flange-shaped end face contacts the buoy 13. The other end limits the long compression spring 15.

[0039] Mounting base 20 is fixed to the upper surface of lower housing 8 by connecting screws, and short slide bar 22 passes through its center. The installed steel ball 24 is limited by short slide bar 22.
[0040] The jettison block 21 uses various forms of heavy objects such as iron blocks or iron sand to meet the jettisoning requirements of various types of aircraft. One end of the jettison block 21 has a countersunk hole, and a spherical hole is machined inside the hole to limit the movement of the steel ball 24.
[0041] The short slide bar 22 is a cylindrical body with a thread at one end and a tapered end at the other. The threaded end is connected to the lower slide block 6, making the short slide bar 22 and the lower slide block 6 a single unit. The tapered flange-shaped cylinder at the other end limits the movement of the steel ball 24 in the mounting base 20.
[0042] The short compression spring 23 passes through the short slide bar 22, and its two ends are respectively limited by the lower slide block 6 and the mounting base 20. In its normal state, it is in a compressed state. This allows the release of the load block 21 by storing energy.

[0048] The present invention will be described below through a specific embodiment: 1.

Through the circular protrusions of the two pressure plates 12, the long slide rod 16 (i.e. the flange-shaped end face of the long slide rod 16) limits the pressure plate 12. (5) The long slide bar 16 passes through the upper housing 7 and is screwed into the upper slide block 5.
[0049] 2. The installation sequence of the ballast jettison unit 2 is as follows: (1) Insert the mounting base 20 into the lower housing 8 and fix it to the upper surface of the lower housing 8; (2) After the part of the upper end of the short slide bar 22 that is exposed on the mounting base 20 is fitted into the short compression spring 23, it is screwed into the lower slide bar 6; (3) The through hole opened on the mounting base 20 is used to assemble the steel ball 24; (4) Install the throwing block 21 inside the lower housing 8; at this time, the steel ball 24 abuts against the throwing block 21 and the short slide bar 22.

At this time, the pressure plate 12 rotates around the long pin 19, and the pressure plate 12 no longer presses the float 13. The float 13 moves upward under the action of positive buoyancy, and the silk rope 14 unfolds.
