Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of unmanned equipment recovery, and in particular relates to an adaptive adjustment arresting structure of unmanned equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the vast blue territory, unmanned marine vehicles (UMVs), as pioneers of modern marine technology, are leading a new round of changes in deep-sea exploration, marine resource surveys, environmental monitoring, and maritime search and rescue. These equipment, including unmanned surface vessels (USVs) and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), have greatly expanded the boundaries of human cognition of the ocean by virtue of their remote operation capabilities, high efficiency, and flexibility, while reducing labor costs and improving operational safety.

[0003] However, with the deepening of the application of marine unmanned equipment, the recovery operation on the water surface has become more and more important. However, due to the influence of factors such as wind and waves and the reaction ability of the power system, it is difficult to control the attitude of unmanned boats and unmanned vehicles on the water surface, which brings challenges to the recovery operation. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the recovery process, the unmanned boat or vehicle needs to be precisely controlled to achieve smooth docking with the lifting and transfer equipment.

[0004] How to effectively and safely recover equipment and conduct emergency interception has become a key issue that needs to be solved urgently. Most of the interception devices currently on the market are based on fixed structure designs, such as traditional net capture systems and robotic arm grabbing. These methods have significant defects in practical applications: they are often difficult to accurately adapt to marine unmanned equipment of different sizes, shapes and entry speeds. Especially during the interception process at the front end of the equipment, due to the lack of an adaptive adjustment mechanism for the interception part, it is very easy to cause damage to the equipment surface, damage to the sensor, and even overall functional failure, which not only increases maintenance costs, but also limits the service life of the unmanned equipment and the success rate of the mission. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide an adaptive adjustment arresting structure of unmanned equipment, so as to solve the technical problem of automatically adjusting the arresting angle according to the head line shape of the unmanned equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the specific technical solution of the adaptive adjustment arresting structure of unmanned equipment of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] An adaptively adjustable arresting structure for unmanned equipment includes an arresting structure for intercepting the unmanned equipment, and an adjusting structure for adjusting the angle of the arresting structure to fit the unmanned equipment;

[0008] The blocking structure includes two baffles bent in a "V" shape, with openings arranged toward the unmanned equipment recovery direction, and the back side connected to the adjustment structure;

[0009] The adjustment structure includes a base arranged on the recovery platform, a plurality of support frames connected to the base, a rotating hinge bracket having one end fixedly connected to the baffle and the other end rotatably connected to the support frame, and a plurality of damping cylinders connecting the support frame and the baffle;

[0010] The damping oil cylinder comprises a damping piston rod and a damping cylinder body, the damping piston rod is rotatably connected to the baffle, the damping cylinder body is rotatably connected to the support frame, and the damping piston rod is telescoped relative to the damping cylinder body to achieve buffering of the rotation of the baffle;

[0011] The damping oil cylinder and the rotating hinge bracket are symmetrically arranged and connected to the back sides of the two baffles;

[0012] The rotation of the blocking structure relative to the damping cylinder and the rotating hinge bracket, and the rotation of the damping cylinder relative to the support frame, achieves adaptive angle interception of the unmanned equipment.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the two baffles are rotatably connected to adaptively adjust the degree of opening after abutting against the unmanned equipment to better match the front end shape of the unmanned equipment.

[0014] As a further improvement of the utility model, a damping cylinder seat is arranged on the side of the support frame, and the damping cylinder is rotatably connected to the upper end and / or the lower end of the damping cylinder seat.

[0015] As a further improvement of the utility model, the damping oil cylinder is symmetrically arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the damping oil cylinder seat.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, a buffer portion is provided on the side of the baffle plate facing the unmanned equipment to achieve buffering of the interception of the unmanned equipment and avoid damage to the unmanned equipment due to hard contact.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, the support frame is connected to the base via a buffer structure, and the buffer structure achieves buffering for the unmanned equipment in the interception direction.

[0018] As a further improvement of the utility model, it also includes a control system and a power source, wherein the control system realizes the electric control of the arresting device and the power source provides hydraulic drive for the arresting device.

[0019] As a further improvement of the present invention, a modular integrated design is adopted, which can be conveniently arranged in various recycling environments.

[0020] Beneficial effects:

[0021] The adjustment structure and blocking structure design adopted in the utility model can automatically adjust the angle of the baffle according to the specific form of the unmanned equipment being recovered through the extension and retraction of the damping cylinder and the rotation of the rotating hinge bracket, so as to achieve precise fit with the front end of the equipment, thereby solving the problems of poor adaptability and fragile equipment caused by the fixed structure of the traditional intercepting device.

[0022] The built-in damping cylinder not only provides the driving force for rotation adjustment, but also provides a soft buffering effect at the moment of equipment contact through its damping effect, which significantly reduces the impact force during the interception process, effectively protects the sensitive components and shell structure of the unmanned equipment, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0023] The stable connection between the symmetrically “V”-shaped baffle, the support frame and the base ensures the stability of the entire interception process. Even under complex and changeable sea conditions or wind speed conditions, it can ensure that the unmanned equipment can be recovered smoothly and safely, reducing the operational risks caused by external environmental factors.

[0024] The adaptive fit arresting structure has a flexible design and can be widely used in the recovery operations of various types of unmanned surface ships, unmanned submersibles and other marine unmanned equipment. It also provides a highly compatible and scalable basic recovery solution for more diversified unmanned equipment designs in the future.

[0025] To sum up, the unmanned equipment adaptive fitting arresting structure provided by the utility model, through its intelligent, adaptive adjustment and buffer protection mechanism, not only greatly improves the safety and efficiency of unmanned equipment recovery operations, but also promotes the widespread application and sustainable development of unmanned equipment technology in marine scientific research, military defense, environmental protection and other fields.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] Implementation example:

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, an adaptively adjustable blocking structure of an unmanned equipment includes a blocking structure 100 and an adjusting structure 200. The blocking structure 100 intercepts the unmanned equipment head-on to stop the unmanned equipment. The adjusting structure 200 is fixed on a recovery platform. When the blocking structure 100 intercepts the unmanned equipment, the angle of the blocking structure 100 is adjusted to make it more closely fit the front end shape of the unmanned equipment.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the blocking structure 100 is formed by two baffles 110 connected in a "V" shape, with the opening facing the recovery direction of the unmanned equipment, and the back is connected to the adjustment structure 200. The two baffles 110 are hingedly connected to achieve relative rotation. When facing unmanned equipment of different specifications, the opening size is adjusted to better match the front shape of the unmanned equipment. The contact surface between the baffle 110 and the unmanned equipment is provided with a buffer part 111. The buffer part 111 is provided with a rubber protrusion to further improve the buffering capacity and avoid damage to the equipment when contacting the unmanned equipment.

[0034] The base 210 in the adjustment structure 200 is fixed on the recovery platform, one end of the rotating hinge bracket 230 is fixed on the back of the baffle 110, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support frame 220. In this example, there are two support frames 220, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bend on the back of the baffle 110. The lower end of the support frame 220 is connected to the base 210 through a buffer structure 250. The buffer structure 250 is arranged in parallel on the base 210, and provides buffering for the interception direction of the unmanned equipment by means of the extension and retraction of the cylinder. A damping cylinder seat 221 is arranged on the side of the support frame 220. In the present embodiment, there are four damping cylinders 240, which are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the two damping cylinder seats 221; the damping piston rod 241 is rotatably connected to the baffle 110, and the damping cylinder body 242 is rotatably connected to the support frame 220. The damping piston rod 241 can be extended and retracted relative to the damping cylinder body 242 to prevent the baffle 110 from rotating. The damping cylinders 242 arranged at the upper and lower ends of the damping cylinder seat 221 can better realize smooth prevention and buffering of the rotation of the baffle 110.

[0035] like Figure 3As shown, when intercepting and recovering the unmanned equipment, the unmanned equipment continues to move forward by inertia after abutting against the blocking structure 100, and the blocking structure 100 rotates relative to the damping cylinder 240 and the rotating hinge bracket 230, as well as the damping cylinder 240 rotates relative to the support frame 220, thereby adjusting the contact angle of the baffle 110, so that the baffle 110 can fit the front end of the unmanned equipment at a better angle, thereby realizing adaptive angle interception of the equipment to be recovered.

[0036] It integrates an advanced control system 300 and a power source 400, realizes comprehensive electro-hydraulic integrated control of the arresting structure, improves the intelligence level and response speed of operation, simplifies the operation process, and enhances the overall automation level and operating efficiency.

[0037] The utility model adopts an integrated modular design. This design allows users to flexibly choose according to the specific needs of the actual application scenario, and conveniently and quickly realize the installation and adaptation of the arresting structure. It has a wide range of environmental adaptability. Whether it is an offshore platform, a port terminal or other types of surface ships, or even a temporary recovery site, the angle-adaptive arresting structure can quickly adapt to various geographical and climatic environments, ensuring that the recovery mission of unmanned equipment can be performed stably and reliably under various conditions.

In addition, under the teachings of the present invention, these features and embodiments may be modified to adapt to specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
