[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] This embodiment discloses an automatic ocean pre-launch platform, which is a launch platform pre-deployed in the ocean. The control module 122 in the system can pre-design an accurate launch time or launch single or multiple functional products after receiving a launch command.

[0026] The appearance color of the multifunctional prefabricated launch platform is designed differently according to different user groups. For those that need to be deployed and launched in a concealed manner, the appearance can be designed to be similar to the color of the ocean. For those that need to be salvaged and recovered after deployment, the appearance can be designed to be bright colors different from the ocean.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the automatic marine pre-launch platform includes a launch system carrier 1 and a balance weight module 2. The launch system carrier 1 is positively buoyant, and the balance weight module 2 is negatively buoyant. The launch system carrier 1 and the balance weight module 2 form a whole with positive buoyancy. Through the counterweight effect of the balance weight module 2, the entire platform can be balanced, and the opening of the launch cavity 11 can always be kept facing upward, ensuring that the platform can work normally.

[0028] The launch system carrier 1 is generally cylindrical in structure and is provided with a plurality of launch cavities 11, each of which is respectively provided with a functional product to be launched. The upper end of the launch cavity 11 has an opening, and an end cover 111 that can be opened and closed is installed at the opening. In a normal state, the end cover 111 closes the opening of the launch cavity 11. When launching is required, the end cover 111 is opened so that the product to be launched can be launched from the opening.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the end cover 111 is rotatably connected to the opening of the launch chamber 11 through a hinge 112, and the installation position is located at the uppermost position of the launch system carrier 1. A torsion spring is installed at the hinge 112 connection of the end cover 111, and an electromagnet 113 is installed on the other side of the end cover 111. The end cover 111 can be fixed in a closed state through the magnetic adsorption effect of the electromagnet 113. In the closed state, the end cover 111 seals the launch chamber 11, and a hollow chamber is formed inside, which can increase the buoyancy of the entire platform. When launching is required, the electromagnet 113 is demagnetized, and the end cover 111 can be driven to open through the elastic effect of the torsion spring, so that the functional product can be launched.

[0030] The launch system carrier 1 also includes a control chamber 12, in which the circuit modules and communication modules of the entire platform are installed, such as the Beidou module 121, the control module 122 and the energy module 123. The control chamber 12 is located in the middle of the launch system carrier 1, and each is located at the periphery of the control chamber 12, for specific reference Figure 3 The structure shown.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the balancing weight module 2 is connected to the launch system carrier 1 through the guide member 3, and the distance between the balancing weight module 2 and the launch system carrier 1 can be adjusted. The guide member 3 includes a guide rod 31 and a sleeve 32, and the guide rod 31 is slidably connected in the sleeve 32, and the guide rod 31 and the sleeve 32 can achieve telescopic adjustment. Among them, the guide rod 31 is fixed to the balancing weight module 2, and the sleeve 32 is fixed to the launch system carrier 1.

[0032] In addition, the guide rod 31 and the sleeve 32 have a stroke limit. When the guide rod 31 and the sleeve 32 are stretched to the limit length, the limiting structure inside the guide rod 31 and the sleeve 32 will produce an obstruction to prevent the guide rod 31 and the sleeve 32 from detaching from each other, thereby ensuring that the launch system carrier 1 and the balance weight module 2 are always in a connected state.

[0033] A separation device 6 is installed on the side of the launch system carrier 1 close to the counterweight module 2, and the separation device 6 can adjust the distance between the counterweight module 2 and the launch system carrier 1. Under normal conditions, the launch system carrier 1 and the counterweight module 2 can be in a connected state, and the separation device 6 can limit the position between the launch system carrier 1 and the counterweight module 2, and the counterweight module 2 can be lowered under the action of its own weight, and the distance between the launch system carrier 1 and the counterweight module 2 will increase.

[0034] When the distance between the launch system carrier 1 and the counterweight module 2 increases, the distribution of gravity and buoyancy of the entire platform system will change, wherein the center of gravity of the entire platform will move downward relatively, and the positive buoyancy part will move upward relatively. When an automatic marine pre-launch platform is in a marine environment, it will be able to maintain an upright state more stably, ensuring that the opening of the launch cavity 11 can be basically in a vertically upward state, and ensuring the normal and stable operation of the equipment.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the separation device 6 includes a connector 61 and a cutting mechanism 62. The connector 61 can be a flexible connecting rope, and the two ends of the connecting rope are connected between the launch system carrier 1 and the balance weight module 2. The balance weight module 2 is suspended on the lower side of the launch system carrier 1 by the connecting rope, and the launch system carrier 1 and the balance weight module 2 are in a state of being close to each other. The position of the cutting mechanism 62 is adapted to the position of the connector 61. The cutting mechanism 62 can cut off the connector 61, and then the balance weight module 2 will drop under the action of gravity, and finally the guide member 3 will be stretched to the limit length, so that the launch system carrier 1 and the balance weight module 2 are maintained at a relatively distant position.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the cutting mechanism 62 includes two shearing knives 621, one end of the two shearing knives 621 is connected to each other through a rotating shaft 622, and is installed at the bottom of the launch system carrier 1. The shearing knives 621 can be driven and controlled by a driver, and the cutting edge of the shearing knives 621 faces the connecting rope. Under the action of the driver, the shearing knives 621 can cut the connecting rope, thereby realizing the action.

[0037] Alternatively, the separation device 6 may also adopt a reciprocating adjustment structure, specifically a screw-nut structure, the screw being driven by a motor, and the distance between the launch system carrier 1 and the balancing weight module 2 can also be adjusted.

[0038] A connection sleeve 4 is provided at the lower side of the launch system carrier 1. The structure of the connection sleeve 4 is adapted to the structure of the balance weight module 2. The launch system carrier 1 and the balance weight module 2 can be fitted together. When the two are close to each other, the connection sleeve 4 is sleeved on part of the outer periphery of the balance weight module 2, so that the two form a relatively stable connection state.

[0039] In addition, a variable buoyancy device 5 is installed at the outer peripheral position of the connecting sleeve 4. The variable buoyancy device 5 has an inflatable air bag. The size of the air bag can be controlled by compressing the gas cylinder to adjust the buoyancy of the variable buoyancy device 5, thereby adjusting the buoyancy of the entire platform, making it convenient to correct and adjust the position state of the entire platform.

[0040] When the automatic marine pre-launching platform is actually used, as the product is launched multiple times, the originally closed launch chamber 11 will be opened, and seawater will enter the launch chamber 11, so that the buoyancy of the entire platform will change, and the buoyancy of the platform itself will be greatly reduced. In order to ensure that the opening of the launch chamber 11 of the automatic marine pre-launching platform is above the sea surface, the control unit can open the variable buoyancy device 5 to increase its own buoyancy.

[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
