Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of unmanned ships, and in particular relates to an intelligent unmanned ship for data collection. Background Art
[0002] The data collection intelligent unmanned boat is an autonomous navigation device specially designed to automatically collect various environmental and scientific data in waters. It is equipped with advanced sensors and measuring instruments, such as water quality monitors, sonar, meteorological sensors and camera equipment, which can collect information such as water temperature, salinity, depth, flow rate, meteorological data and underwater images in real time. The intelligent unmanned boat relies on GPS and autonomous navigation systems to achieve precise positioning and automatic navigation, and can perform long-term measurement tasks according to a predetermined route. Data is transmitted to the control center in real time through a wireless communication system, which is convenient for applications such as scientific research, environmental monitoring and resource exploration.
[0003] Stability and energy are crucial to data collection intelligent unmanned boats. Stability ensures that unmanned boats can maintain balance and work normally in various water environments, especially under conditions of large waves or fast currents, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of data collection. Energy is the basis for the continuous operation of unmanned boats. Efficient and long-lasting energy supply enables them to perform tasks for a long time without frequent charging or refueling, which is particularly important for remote detection and long-term monitoring.
[0004] Existing data collection intelligent unmanned ships have some drawbacks and deficiencies in many aspects, which affect their overall performance and data collection effect. First, in terms of buoyancy and stability, the current unmanned ships mainly rely on the hull itself to provide buoyancy, but the stability needs to be further optimized. This deficiency is particularly prominent in the data collection process, because the collection terminal needs to maintain the stability of the hull to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. The interference of waves and water currents will cause the hull to shake, which will affect the normal operation of sensors and other measuring equipment, and ultimately affect the quality of the collected data.
[0005] Secondly, energy supply is another urgent problem to be solved. Although existing unmanned ships are equipped with batteries, the capacity and endurance of these batteries are limited and cannot fully meet the needs of long-term, large-scale data collection tasks. In addition to providing driving power, the ship is also equipped with a large number of data collection terminals and intelligent control systems, all of which require a lot of energy to maintain their normal operation. Insufficient energy will not only limit the sailing distance and working time of unmanned ships, but also affect the continuity and stability of data collection and real-time transmission, weakening the advantages of unmanned ships in remote detection and long-term monitoring tasks.
[0006] In general, existing data collection intelligent unmanned ships have certain drawbacks and deficiencies in buoyancy, stability, energy supply, etc. These problems limit the application of unmanned ships in scientific research, environmental monitoring, resource exploration and other fields, and it is urgent to improve their performance and application scope through technological innovation and optimization.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.
[0026] In order to solve the problems of existing data collection intelligent unmanned boats in buoyancy, stability, energy supply, etc., the utility model provides a data collection intelligent unmanned boat.

In order to further illustrate the structure of the utility model, the detailed description is as follows in conjunction with the attached drawings:
[0027] See also Figure 1, a data acquisition intelligent unmanned ship, including an unmanned ship body 1 and a data acquisition terminal installed on the unmanned ship body. As is well known to those skilled in the art, an unmanned ship is an autonomous navigation device that does not require crew control. The unmanned ship body refers to an unmanned ship assembly with basic functions of autonomous navigation, and its basic structure mainly includes the following parts: hull structure, power system, navigation and control system and communication system. The hull structure is the main part of the unmanned ship, and is usually made of lightweight and durable materials, such as composite materials, to provide buoyancy and stability. The power system includes an engine or an electric motor to drive the ship forward. The navigation and control system consists of GPS, an inertial navigation system and a computer control system to ensure that the unmanned ship can travel along the predetermined route. The communication system is used for information exchange between the unmanned ship and the control center or other ships to ensure real-time monitoring and remote control. The data acquisition terminal is generally a variety of sensors carried on the unmanned ship. The sensor system is used to monitor the environment and the status of the ship, including radar, sonar, camera and other sensors. The type of data acquisition terminal can be loaded according to the mission requirements of the unmanned ship, and is not limited here.
[0028] The data acquisition intelligent unmanned ship in this embodiment includes a floating body 2, a telescopic support mechanism and a foldable solar panel.
[0029] The floats are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the unmanned boat body to form a floating structure floating on the water. Specifically, the floats are mainly used to increase the stability and buoyancy of the unmanned boat. Furthermore, the floats adopt a hollow structure to reduce weight and increase buoyancy. They are generally long or streamlined in shape to reduce water resistance and improve navigation efficiency. The interior may be filled with lightweight materials such as foam to further enhance buoyancy and impact resistance. The outer shell of the float is usually made of durable and waterproof materials to ensure long-term use in various water environments. By adding floats, the unmanned boat can maintain better balance and stability during navigation, and can move forward steadily even in large waves.
[0030] See also Figure 2, the telescopic support mechanism connects the floating body and the unmanned boat body, and the telescopic support mechanism forms a support frame that telescopes laterally toward the unmanned boat body. In this embodiment, the telescopic support mechanism includes a bidirectional lead screw 3, a lead screw nut 4, a connecting rod 5 and a driving motor 6. The bidirectional lead screw is installed on the side of the unmanned boat body through a support, the bidirectional lead screw has positive and negative threads and the axis is parallel to the axis of the unmanned boat body, the two lead screw nuts are respectively mounted on the bidirectional lead screw through positive and negative threads, the lead screw nut is hinged to one end of the connecting rod through a pin shaft, the other end of the connecting rod is hinged to the floating body through a pin shaft, and the output shaft of the driving motor is connected to the bidirectional lead screw. A sealed cavity is provided on the side of the unmanned boat body, the bidirectional lead screw, the lead screw nut and the driving motor are arranged in the sealed cavity, and a slit communicating with the sealed cavity is provided on the side of the unmanned boat body, the slit extends along the axial direction of the unmanned boat body, and the connecting rod passes through the slit. The sealed cavity and the slit are formed by the shell of the unmanned boat body.
[0031] The motor drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, and the rotating bidirectional lead screw drives the lead screw nut to approach or move away. The approaching lead screw nut causes the two connecting rods to form two supporting edges of a triangular support tube structure extending outward, so that the float extends outward, and vice versa.
[0032] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the folding solar panel is arranged between the floating body and the side of the unmanned boat body, the folding solar panel is connected to the floating body and is unfolded by the movement of the floating body away from the unmanned boat body, and the stacking solar panel is folded by the movement of the floating body close to the unmanned boat body. The folding solar panel is a highly efficient solar energy collection device, which is designed to be folded into a smaller size and integrated with the two sides of the unmanned boat body. After unfolding, the solar panel appears as a series of interconnected photovoltaic panels that can convert solar energy into electrical energy. Its main structure includes multiple foldable panel units, which are connected together by hinges or flexible connecting materials, allowing the solar panel to unfold into a larger plane when in use and fold into a compact shape when not in use. The outer shell is usually made of lightweight but durable materials, such as aluminum alloy or composite materials, to provide protection and support. The panel unit is a prior art component.
[0033] In this embodiment, the foldable solar panel includes panel units 7 connected end to end, and the panel units are connected by folding hinges to form a foldable solar panel that can be folded along the axial direction of the unmanned ship body. In the folded state of the foldable solar panel, the panel units form a vertical stacking structure, and in the unfolded state of the foldable solar panel, the panel units form an extended structure with the panel surface facing upward. The folding hinge is a chain, and the two sides of two adjacent panel units are connected by chains 10 respectively.
[0034] In order to further optimize the stability of the structure, make the extension and retraction of the floating body more stable, and the support force is reliable, so as to ensure the stability of the folding action of the folding solar panel, a guide rod 8 that is telescopic to both sides of the unmanned boat body is installed on the unmanned boat body through the guide hole, and the guide rod is connected to the floating body. The side of the panel unit is connected to the collar 9, and the collar is mounted on the guide rod. The collar slides along the guide rod. The collar on the folding solar panel close to the floating body is fixed to the guide rod. This fixation is achieved by fixing the radial screw installed on the outermost collar. Specifically, the guide hole is formed by the shell of the unmanned boat body. A shaft is set on the side of the panel unit, and the outer end of the shaft is connected to the collar, and the shaft and the collar form a rotating pair, that is, to ensure that the shaft can be connected to the collar in a way that it rotates around its own axis. The panel unit located on the inside is connected to the side of the unmanned boat body by a chain.
