[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation methods described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model proposes a submersible unmanned boat, the driving boat comprises: a catamaran pontoon 1, the catamaran pontoon 1 comprises two pontoons and a connecting assembly 4 spanning the two pontoons, each of the pontoons has a hollow chamber (not shown in the figure) for accommodating liquid, the hollow chamber is provided with an inlet / drainage port (not shown in the figure), the inlet / drainage port is provided with an inlet / drainage control valve 15; a cabin 20, arranged on the connecting assembly 4; a compressed air tank 12, detachably arranged on the cabin 20, the compressed air tank The two ends of 12 are connected with the hollow chamber of the corresponding pontoon through the air intake control valve 13 respectively; the thruster mechanism group is arranged in the catamaran pontoon 1; the control unit (not shown in the figure) is arranged in the sealed cabin 20, which is used for wireless or wired connection with the ground control station or mobile terminal, and is respectively electrically connected with the inlet / water discharge control valve 15, the air intake control valve 13 and each driving motor of the thruster mechanism group, so as to respectively control the opening and closing of the inlet / water discharge control valve 15, the opening and closing of the air intake control valve 13 and drive the driving boat to travel.
[0037] Each pontoon of the catamaran pontoons in the unmanned ship of the utility model is a hollow structure. Water is injected into and discharged from the pontoons through the diving system 5, so that the unmanned ship can dive and float, and realize navigation on the surface route or diving operations. The diving system 5 includes: an inlet / outlet control valve 15, an air intake solenoid valve 13 and a compressed air tank 12, etc. The compressed air tank can be detachably connected to the cabin by bolts. The two pontoons of the unmanned ship are connected at a certain distance, and the cabin is arranged in the connecting assembly and is located between the two pontoons, so that the unmanned ship is more stable. High-pressure gas is stored in the compressed air tank, and each of the pontoons is provided with an air inlet. The air inlet is located on the inner side of the pontoon near the stern, so the compressed air tank is arranged in the cabin near the stern to facilitate communication with the pontoon; the inlet / outlet is arranged in the central area of the bottom inner side of the pontoon or near the bow, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air intake control valve and the air intake / discharge control valve are the air intake solenoid valve and the air intake / discharge solenoid valve respectively. The compressed air tank is close to the stern, and the control unit of the unmanned boat is wirelessly or wiredly connected to the ground control station or the mobile terminal. When the boat is on the water surface, the ground control station or the mobile terminal can remotely control the boat by wirelessly connecting to the control unit of the boat to realize unmanned driving; when the boat is diving underwater, the ground control station or the mobile terminal controls the boat by wired connection with the control unit of the boat to realize unmanned driving. A battery compartment is also provided in the cabin, in which batteries are placed to power each propeller mechanism and the control unit. The cabin is sealed to protect the internal components, and the cabin has an IP68 waterproof rating. The unmanned boat of the utility model can be used for detection, rescue, water performances and other activities on the water surface and underwater.
[0038] It should be noted that the working process of the unmanned boat diving and surfacing is as follows: when the unmanned boat needs to dive, the control unit opens the air inlet / outlet control valve of each pontoon. At this time, the air inlet control valve of each pontoon is in a closed state, water enters the pontoon, and the weight of the unmanned boat increases. The water intake of the unmanned boat can be controlled according to the valve opening time or the liquid level inside the pontoon. When the valve opening time or the water intake reaches a preset threshold, the control unit closes the air inlet / outlet solenoid valve. At this time, the control unit also starts the propeller mechanism group to cooperate and push the unmanned boat into the water.
[0039] When the unmanned boat needs to surface for sailing, the control unit opens the air intake solenoid valve and the inlet / water discharge solenoid valve respectively, and the high-pressure gas in the compressed air tank enters the pontoon. As the pressure in the pontoon increases, the water in the pontoon is discharged through the inlet / water discharge solenoid valve, and the weight of the unmanned boat is reduced. The displacement of the unmanned boat can be controlled according to the valve opening time or the liquid level inside the pontoon. When the valve opening time or the displacement reaches a preset threshold, the control unit closes the air intake solenoid valve and the inlet / water discharge solenoid valve. At this time, the control unit also starts the propeller mechanism group to push the unmanned boat to the surface.
[0040] The control unit of the utility model can also control the propeller mechanism group to adjust the posture of the unmanned ship, so that the unmanned ship can sail freely in multiple directions whether underwater or on the surface, so that the unmanned ship can dive and sail with posture adjustment. The control unit can also pre-store the navigation route so that the driving ship can automatically sail according to the preset route.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, as a specific example of a driving boat, the driving boat also includes: two groups of liquid level sensors 14, each group has two, each group of liquid level sensors 14 is respectively arranged at the upper liquid level and the lower liquid level of the corresponding buoyancy tank, and the liquid level sensors 14 are respectively electrically connected to the control unit.
[0042] The liquid level sensor of the utility model can adopt a duckbill type float liquid level sensor.
[0043] How does unmanned boat diving work?
[0044] The interior of the catamaran pontoon is a hollow structure. When the unmanned ship needs to dive, the control unit controls the inlet / drainage solenoid valve 15 to open, and water enters the pontoon. When the water level reaches the upper liquid level, the liquid level sensor 14 located at the upper liquid level detects the liquid level change and transmits the liquid level information to the control unit. The control unit closes the inlet / drainage solenoid valve 15. Due to the increase in the weight of the hull, the unmanned ship meets the diving requirements, and the thruster mechanism group cooperates to propel, thereby realizing the diving of the unmanned ship; when the unmanned ship needs to float, the control unit controls the air intake solenoid valve 13 and the inlet / drainage solenoid valve 15 to open, and the high-pressure gas in the compressed air tank 12 enters the pontoon. Due to the increase in pressure in the pontoon, the water in the pontoon is discharged through the inlet / drainage solenoid valve 15. When the water level drops to the lower liquid level, the liquid level sensor 14 located at the lower liquid level detects the liquid level change and transmits the liquid level information to the control unit. The control unit closes the air intake solenoid valve 13 and the inlet / drainage solenoid valve 15, the weight of the unmanned ship is reduced, and the thruster mechanism group cooperates to propel, so that the unmanned ship floats.
[0045] As a specific example of the propeller mechanism group, the propeller mechanism group includes: a front propeller mechanism 11 arranged at the cabin near the bow, and rear propeller mechanisms 2 respectively arranged at two pontoons near the stern.
[0046] The front propeller mechanism of the utility model is arranged in the central area of the two buoys, close to the bow, and specifically arranged at the bottom of the cabin. The control unit of the utility model realizes hovering and sailing in various directions by controlling the propulsion direction of the three propeller mechanisms, and the direction control is more flexible.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, as a specific example of a front thruster mechanism, the front thruster mechanism 11 includes: a first swinging servo 19, which is arranged at the bottom of the cabin 20, and the axial direction of the output shaft of the first swinging servo 19 is horizontal; a second rotating servo 17, which is connected to the output shaft end of the first swinging servo 19 through a guide tube, and the axial direction of the output shaft of the second rotating servo 17 is vertical; a first pump-jet propeller 16, the axial central area of which is connected to the output shaft end of the second rotating servo 17; the motors of the first swinging servo 19, the second rotating servo 17 and the first pump-jet propeller 16 are electrically connected to the control unit respectively.
[0048] The front propeller mechanism 11 of the unmanned ship of the present invention adopts a double servo structure. The longitudinal servo controls the vertical swing, and the horizontal servo controls the horizontal rotation of the propeller. The vertical swing of the propeller can control the surfacing and diving of the unmanned ship, and the horizontal rotation of the servo controls the forward movement and steering of the unmanned ship. The central area of the first pump-jet propeller in the present invention is sleeved with a connecting piece, and the connecting piece is connected to the output shaft end of the second rotating servo. The motor of the first swing servo is provided with a fixing part, and the fixing part is fixed to the bottom of the cabin. The output shaft end of the first swing servo is connected to one end of the guide tube; the output shaft sleeve of the second swing servo is provided with a connecting tube, and the first end of the connecting tube is fixedly connected to the motor of the second swing servo, and the output shaft end of the second swing servo extends out of the second end of the connecting tube, and the connecting tube is connected to the other end of the guide tube to fix the second swing servo.
[0049] The structure and function of the front thruster mechanism: The front thruster mechanism includes: a first pump-jet thruster 16, a horizontal rotating servo, a guide tube 18 and a vertical swing servo; the first swing servo 19 is a vertical swing servo, and the second swing servo 17 is a horizontal rotating servo, wherein the motor in the vertical swing servo drives the guide tube 18 to rotate forward and reverse, that is, clockwise and counterclockwise, so that the first pump-jet thruster 16 swings up and down, that is, swings in the vertical direction, and the vertical direction is the direction perpendicular to the unmanned ship; the motor in the horizontal rotating servo drives the pump-jet thruster to rotate horizontally and circumferentially, and the horizontal rotation is the direction parallel to the unmanned ship.
[0050] The front thruster mechanism controls the rotation angle of the first pump-jet propeller along the water surface through the second rotating servo, thereby controlling the navigation direction of the unmanned ship; the longitudinal angle control unit, that is, the first swing servo, controls the vertical rotation angle of the first pump-jet propeller, thereby controlling the thrust of the unmanned ship during diving and surfacing. The rotation speed of the first pump-jet propeller is controlled by the control unit, thereby realizing the control of the speed of the unmanned ship.
[0051] Specifically, the diving and surfacing control of the unmanned ship: when the unmanned ship needs to dive, the control unit controls the vertical swing servo to rotate, so as to adjust the nozzle of the first pump-jet propulsion system to tilt upward, thereby generating an upward thrust, and driving the unmanned ship to sail underwater; when the unmanned ship needs to surface, the control unit controls the vertical swing servo to rotate, so as to adjust the nozzle of the first pump-jet propulsion system to tilt downward, thereby generating a downward thrust, and driving the unmanned ship to sail on the water; when the unmanned ship needs to maintain horizontal navigation, the nozzle of the pump-jet propulsion system remains horizontal.
[0052] Unmanned ship direction control: When the unmanned ship needs to turn left, the horizontal steering servo controls the pump-jet propulsion to rotate left, and the nozzle generates thrust to the right rear, thereby pushing the unmanned ship to turn left; when the unmanned ship needs to turn right, the horizontal steering servo controls the pump-jet propulsion to rotate right, and the nozzle generates thrust to the left rear, thereby pushing the unmanned ship to turn right.
[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the rear thruster mechanism 2 includes: a thruster suspension 3, which is respectively arranged at the corresponding pontoon near the stern; a third steering servo (not marked in the figure), which is arranged on the thruster suspension 3, and the output shaft of the third steering servo passes through the thruster suspension 3, and the axial direction of the output shaft of the third steering servo is vertical; a second pump-jet propeller (not marked in the figure), the axial central area of which is connected to the output shaft end of the third steering servo; the motors of the third steering servo and the second pump-jet propeller are respectively electrically connected to the control unit.
[0054] The rear pump-jet propeller mechanism 2 of the utility model adopts a single steering gear mode, and the steering gear controls the horizontal rotation of the pump-jet propeller, thereby controlling the navigation direction of the unmanned ship, and can cooperate with the front propeller mechanism to realize the hovering of the unmanned ship.
[0055] The central area of the second pump-jet propeller of the utility model is sleeved with a connecting piece, and the connecting piece is connected to the output shaft end of the third steering servo. There are two rear-mounted propeller mechanisms, each of which includes a second pump-jet propeller, and each second pump-jet propeller is equipped with a third steering servo. The propulsion direction of the second pump-jet propeller can be adjusted by the third steering servo to control the navigation direction of the unmanned ship. At the same time, it can cooperate with the front propeller to achieve hovering. For example, when the unmanned ship needs to hover, the two third steering servos respectively control the horizontal rotation of the corresponding second pump-jet propeller, and the thrust generated in the water spraying direction of the two offsets the thrust generated in the water spraying direction of the first pump-jet propeller, thereby controlling the navigation direction of the unmanned ship and achieving the hovering of the unmanned ship; the specific rotation angle is set according to the actual situation and is not limited here.
[0056] The pump-jet propeller used in the unmanned boat of the utility model is vector controlled, and the direction of the jet port can be adjusted arbitrarily, so that the hull can realize navigation control in all directions; vector control is to control the speed of the pump-jet propeller motor through a single-chip microcomputer, adjust the thrust of the propeller, and control the angle of the propeller through a steering gear, thereby controlling the direction of the boat. The three propellers of the unmanned boat of the utility model all use pump-jet propellers, which have high propulsion efficiency; the three propellers are all equipped with steering gears, and the unmanned boat can sail or hover in all directions by adjusting the angles of the three propellers. A buoyancy balance box is set in the hull buoyancy box to realize the buoyancy and diving of the hull.
