[0029] The utility model provides an underwater unmanned hydrographic survey submersible, which as a whole comprises four parts: a hydrographic data acquisition system, a navigation attitude control system, a power system and a power supply system.

[0030] Hydrological data acquisition system: It is a key structure for conducting hydrological measurements, including a water flow velocity measuring probe 16, a water flow temperature measuring probe 17, a sediment content measuring instrument 18 and a depth sounding sonar 19, which are respectively controlled by a water flow velocity measuring module 12, a water flow temperature measuring module 13, a sediment content measuring module 14 and a water depth measuring module 15 in the submersible cabin 1 and collect corresponding detection data.

[0031] Navigation attitude control system: Due to the limitations of detection depth, water flow, terrain and other factors, it is necessary to control the attitude of the submersible in real time and control stability, which specifically includes attitude motor 7, elevator wing 2 and stabilizing wing 3; attitude motor 7 adjusts the navigation attitude by controlling the angle of elevator wing 2, and controls the navigation attitude of the submersible under turbulent conditions through stabilizing wing 3.

[0032] Power system: It is composed of high-strength steel and is the power device that controls the movement of the submersible.

It can also control the water outlet speed on one side to realize the U-turn of the submersible.

[0033] Power supply system: It is composed of a number of detachable power supply batteries 8, and the overall weight of the submersible is controlled by the number of batteries.

[0034] The utility model provides an underwater unmanned hydrographic survey submersible, which works as follows:

[0035] (1) Determine the measurement route: Before the submersible enters the water, the area of ​​water to be measured is planned and the measurement path is set. After completion, the submersible is sealed and launched into the water.

[0036] (2) Underwater measurement: The submersible determines its current position and altitude based on the water depth data fed back by the depth-finding sonar 19. The engine 9 controls the flow rate of the engine water outlet 11 to control the navigation speed of the submersible. When turning is required, the engine water outlets 11 on both sides are controlled to make the submersible turn. When a water depth and altitude measurement is completed, the attitude motor 7 is driven to adjust the angle of the elevator 2 to enter the next water depth and altitude measurement.

[0037] (3) Data collection: After completing the measurement of each layer of data, the submersible surfaces, opens the sealed hatch cover, and reads the detection data collected by the water flow velocity measurement module 12, the water flow temperature measurement module 13, the sediment content measurement module 14, and the water depth measurement module 15 in the cabin.

[0038] The utility model provides an underwater unmanned hydrographic survey submersible with the following advantages:

[0039] (1) Integrate multiple hydrological measurement modules to obtain hydrological parameters such as water flow velocity, water temperature, river (sea) bottom topography, and sediment content in a single voyage, thereby improving measurement efficiency;

[0040] (2) It can realize the measurement of hydrological parameters at various depths, collect hydrological data at different depths more accurately and meticulously, and provide more accurate data for engineering or scientific research;
