[0030] Example
[0031] In this embodiment, the preparation room 1 is arranged on the main deck layer, which is used to store various types of unmanned submersibles, including small unmanned submersibles 61, medium unmanned submersibles 62 and large unmanned submersibles 63, and to prepare the unmanned submersibles before performing tasks. The auxiliary transfer device 2 is a rail-type trolley. The fireproof roller shutter partition wall 21 between the preparation room 1 and the hoisting room 3 is lowered as a channel isolation when not in a mission state, and is raised and opened when the unmanned submersible is transported, so as to facilitate the unmanned submersible in the preparation room 1 to move away. The hoisting opening 31 is a rounded rectangle of 3m*8.1m with a rounded radius of 150mm, which is used to facilitate the movement of various types of unmanned submersibles to the dock 4 below. The crane 32 is a frame crane installed on the top of the hoisting room 3, which is used to hoist various types of unmanned submersibles. The four hooks 321 ensure that it has multiple hoisting and loading modes.
[0032] The dock 4 is used to deploy a large unmanned submersible 63. The rectangular dock 4 is arranged in the middle of the ship. Figure 2 As shown, the influence of bow wave making and stern wake on the deployment of unmanned submersibles can be reduced; the dock 4 is arranged near the waterline in the vertical direction, and the bottom of the dock 4 is 1m below the waterline, ensuring that the water level in the dock 4 is close to 1m when connected with the external water body, which is suitable for the deployment of unmanned submersibles; the dock 4 is offset, and the central axis of its long side is arranged on the right side of the hull centerline, so that the unmanned submersible can be conveniently driven out of the dock hatch 41 on the starboard hull of the mother ship. A water pumping port is arranged at the bottom of the dock 4, which cooperates with the dock discharge system 43 for water injection before the unmanned submersible leaves the dock and rapid drainage after the deployment task is completed; the dock side hatch 42 is an upward-moving hatch, which can control the connection between the dock 4 and the external water body, and the dock side hatch transmission mechanism 421 pushes the dock side hatch 42 outward, and then the dock side hatch 42 slides upward to the top of the dock hatch 41;

After the preparation work is completed, they are transported to the hoisting room 3 using a hand truck or an electric truck, and are hoisted in the hoisting room 3 and moved to the hoisting opening 31. At the same time, the moon pool wall lifting mechanism 53 lifts the baffle, and after lifting into place, the moon pool loading system 52 Work begins, loading operations are performed, when the water level of the moon pool 5 is flush with the external water level, the moon pool bottom cover transmission mechanism 511 pushes the moon pool bottom cover 51 outwards and moves it sideways to the side of the moon pool opening; the crane 32 hoists the submersible into the water body of the moon pool 5, controls the locking mechanism to unlock the submersible, and the unmanned submersible enters the external water body through the moon pool hatch at the bottom of the hull; the moon pool bottom cover 51 is locked after returning to the center, and the moon pool loading and unloading system 52 starts drainage operations. After the drainage operations are completed, the moon pool wall lifting mechanism 53 lowers the baffle.
[0036] For the concealed deployment of the large unmanned submersible 63, when the large unmanned submersible 63 is needed to perform a task, it is first assembled and debugged in the preparation room 1, and then transported to the hoisting room 3 by the auxiliary transfer device 2, and moved to the hoisting opening 31 after being hoisted in the hoisting room 3; at the same time, the dock unloading system 43 starts to work and performs loading operations. When the water level of the dock 4 is flush with the external water level, the dock side door transmission mechanism 421 pushes the dock side door 42 outward and slides upward to the top of the dock hatch; the crane 32 hoists the submersible into the water body of the dock 4, controls the locking mechanism to unlock the submersible, and the unmanned submersible enters the external water body through the dock hatch 41 on the ship side; the dock side door 42 is locked after returning to the original position, and the dock unloading system 43 starts to perform drainage operations.
