Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of unmanned vessel control systems, specifically an unmanned vessel control system based on the wireless Internet of Things. Background Technology
[0002] The unmanned vessel control system is the core technology system for realizing autonomous navigation and mission execution of unmanned vessels. In addition, the system also includes a communication module (data link establishment) and an interactive interface (human-machine command transmission), supporting flexible switching between remote control and autonomous modes. In different application scenarios, the system will integrate specific mission payload modules (such as surveying equipment, weapon systems, etc.) to form a "plug and play" expansion capability.
[0003] However, existing unmanned vessel control systems based on wireless IoT rely on touch screens to operate the unmanned vessels. When operating outdoors, these screens are easily affected by sunlight, making it difficult for operators to observe the control interface and thus increasing the difficulty of operation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an unmanned vessel control system based on the wireless Internet of Things. This system offers advantages such as allowing operators to view the control interface displayed on an electronic screen even when the device is being operated outdoors, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation. It also solves the problem that when operating an unmanned vessel outdoors via a touchscreen, the screen is easily affected by sunlight, making it difficult for operators to see the control interface and increasing the difficulty of operation.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the goal of allowing operators to view the control interface displayed on the electronic screen when operating the device outdoors, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation, this invention provides the following technical solution: A wireless Internet of Things-based unmanned vessel control system, comprising a controller body, a control joystick fixedly connected to one side of the controller body, a display screen on the front of the controller body, a channel on the top of the controller body, a sunshade slidably fitted onto the inner wall of the channel, a locking plate fixedly connected to the top of the sunshade, a locking groove on the outer wall of the sunshade, a limit component inside the channel, and a fixing component at the bottom of the controller body. The controller body is used for wireless communication and control of the unmanned vessel. When the sunshade moves upward, its side wall can provide shade for the display screen, thereby allowing operators to view the control interface displayed on the electronic screen and reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting component includes a groove formed in the inner wall of the channel, a spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove, and a retaining ball fixedly connected to one end of the spring.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the retaining ball extends into the interior of the retaining groove, and the outer wall of the retaining ball is movably engaged with the inner wall of the retaining groove.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ball is spherical and the groove is semi-circular.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixing component includes a placement groove formed at the bottom of the controller body, and a magnetic block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement groove.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a lifting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the sunshade, and a magnetic plate is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate, wherein the magnetic plate and the magnetic block attract each other.
[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention provides an unmanned vessel control system based on wireless Internet of Things, which has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. The ball joint acts as a limiter for the sun visor. When the sun visor is not subjected to downward force, the ball joint limits its movement, preventing it from moving automatically. When the sun visor moves downward, the outer wall of the ball joint, being curved, retracts into the groove under pressure, thus ceasing to limit the movement and allowing for arbitrary adjustment of the sun visor. When the sun visor moves upward, it drives the lifting plate upward, which in turn drives the magnetic plate upward. The magnetic plate and magnetic block attract each other, further fixing the sun visor's position and improving its stability. The upward movement of the sun visor also allows its sidewalls to shade the display screen, enabling staff to observe the electronic screen's control interface and reducing operational difficulty.
[0016] 2. A magnetic block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement slot. The magnetic block has magnetic force. When the sun visor moves upward, the sun visor will drive the lifting plate to move upward. The lifting plate will drive the magnetic plate to move upward. In this way, the magnetic plate and the magnetic block attract each other, which can further fix the position of the sun visor and improve the stability of the sun visor. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 This first embodiment of the invention provides an unmanned surface vessel (USV) control system or USV controller based on wireless Internet of Things (IoT). It includes a controller body 1, a control joystick end 2 fixedly connected to one side of the controller body 1, a display screen 3 on the front of the controller body 1, a channel 4 on the top of the controller body 1, a sunshade 5 slidably fitted onto the inner wall of the channel 4, a locking plate 7 fixedly connected to the top of the sunshade 5, and a locking groove 6 on the outer wall of the sunshade 5. The locking plate 7 is used to contact and limit the sunshade 5 when it is raised to its highest position, preventing it from being excessively pulled out. Limiting components are provided inside the channel 4, and a fixing component is provided at the bottom of the controller body 1. The controller body is used for wireless communication and control of the USV. For example, a start command can be sent to the USV using the communication antenna, and the USV can start operating. The USV can send its GPS location to the control system for display. Joysticks are provided on both sides of the control joystick end, which can control the forward, backward, left, and right movement of the USV and the up, down, left, and right movement of the camera. When the sunshade 5 moves upward, its side wall can provide shade for the display screen 3, thereby allowing staff to observe the control interface displayed on the electronic screen and reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-3 The limiting component includes a groove 8 formed in the inner wall of the channel 4. A spring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 8. A retaining ball 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 9. There are two limiting components, which are set in a mirror image. The retaining ball 10 can limit the sunshade 5 and can adjust the position of the sunshade 5 arbitrarily.
[0025] Furthermore, one end of the locking ball 10 extends into the interior of the locking groove 6, and the outer wall of the locking ball 10 is movably engaged with the inner wall of the locking groove 6. The locking ball 10 engages with the locking groove 6, and the locking ball 10 can limit the sun visor 5. When the sun visor 5 is not subjected to external downward force, the locking ball 10 can limit the sun visor 5, and the sun visor 5 will not move automatically.
[0026] Furthermore, the retaining ball 10 has a spherical structure, the retaining groove 6 has a semi-circular structure, and the outer wall of the retaining ball 10 is arc-shaped. When the sun visor 5 moves downward, the side wall of the sun visor 5 or the edge of the retaining groove 6 exerts pressure on the spherical surface of the retaining ball 10, causing the retaining ball 10 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 9 and retract into the groove 8. Consequently, the retaining ball 10 no longer limits the sun visor 5, allowing the sun visor 5 to be adjusted arbitrarily, and the limiting function will be achieved after adjustment.
[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 The fixing component includes a placement groove 11 opened at the bottom of the controller body 1, and a magnetic block 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement groove 11. The magnetic block 12 has magnetic force.
[0028] Furthermore, a lifting plate 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the sunshade 5, and a magnetic plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 13. The magnetic plate 14 and the magnetic block 12 attract each other. When the sunshade 5 moves upward, the sunshade 5 will drive the lifting plate 13 to move upward, and the lifting plate 13 will drive the magnetic plate 14 to move upward. In this way, the magnetic plate 14 and the magnetic block 12 attract each other, which can further fix the position of the sunshade 5 and improve the stability of the sunshade 5. When the sunshade 5 moves upward, its side wall can provide sunshade for the display screen 3, so that the staff can also observe the control interface displayed on the electronic screen and reduce the difficulty of operation.
[0029] During use, the locking ball 10 can limit the sun visor 5. When the sun visor 5 is not subjected to external downward force, the locking ball 10 can limit the sun visor 5 and the sun visor 5 will not move automatically. When the sun visor 5 moves downward, the outer wall of the locking ball 10 is arc-shaped. When the locking ball 10 is subjected to pressure, the locking ball 10 will retract into the groove 8, and then the locking ball 10 will no longer limit the sun visor 5, so the sun visor 5 can be adjusted arbitrarily.
[0030] When the sunshade 5 moves upward, it will drive the lifting plate 13 to move upward, and the lifting plate 13 will drive the magnetic plate 14 to move upward. In this way, the magnetic plate 14 and the magnetic block 12 attract each other, which can further fix the position of the sunshade 5 and improve the stability of the sunshade 5. When the sunshade 5 moves upward, its side wall can provide sunshade for the display screen 3.
[0031] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
