Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of unmanned boats, and in particular, to a communication relay unmanned boat. Background Art

[0002] An unmanned underwater vehicle is a device that navigates underwater autonomously or remotely. Unmanned underwater vehicles have a wide range of military and civilian applications. They can perform tasks including ocean research, environmental monitoring, seabed exploration, mine reconnaissance and clearance, submarine tracking, and other underwater military missions. The advantages of unmanned underwater vehicles lie in their strong concealment, high flexibility, low cost, high intelligence level, and small activity limitations.

[0003] Currently, when an unmanned underwater vehicle navigates in water, it needs to rely on an effective communication and navigation system to ensure the correct course. However, when an unmanned underwater vehicle navigates and operates in water, due to the great limitation of the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the underwater environment, the communication range of the unmanned underwater vehicle is usually short, and at the same time, the data transmission speed of underwater communication is usually low, which limits the data processing and transmission efficiency of the unmanned underwater vehicle when performing tasks.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, when the existing unmanned underwater vehicle performs tasks, due to the limitation of the low propagation efficiency of electromagnetic waves in the underwater environment, the operation range of the unmanned underwater vehicle is greatly limited. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to improve the operation range of an unmanned underwater vehicle, the present application provides a communication relay unmanned boat.

[0006] The communication relay unmanned boat provided by the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A communication relay unmanned boat, comprising:

[0008] A hull, on which a driving component and a control component are installed. The driving component is located at the bottom of the hull, the control component is connected to the driving component, and the control component is adapted to control the driving component to drive the hull to move;

[0009] A fixing frame, comprising a fixing seat and a connecting rod. The fixing seat is fixedly connected to the hull, one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the fixing seat, and the other end extends away from the hull;

[0010] A relay base station, comprising a base and an antenna. The base is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and one end of the antenna is connected to the base, and the other end extends away from the hull.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions, the base and the antenna are installed on the hull by means of the cooperation of the fixed seat and the connecting rod. Then, by means of the cooperation of the control component and the driving component, the hull is driven to move on the water surface following the unmanned submersible. Since the base is located on the water surface and the antenna receives electromagnetic waves, the electromagnetic wave transmission of the base is not affected by the water surface. Moreover, the hull and the unmanned submersible move in coordination, so that the base is relatively close to the unmanned submersible. Therefore, the electromagnetic waves transmitted between the base and the unmanned submersible are less affected by the water surface, enabling stable electromagnetic wave propagation between the base and the unmanned submersible.

[0012] Since the base is located above the water surface, the base can receive electromagnetic waves in a larger range. The unmanned submersible and the hull move in coordination. By only controlling the distance between the unmanned submersible and the base, stable control of the unmanned submersible can be achieved. The hull drives the base to provide communication relay for the unmanned submersible, thus greatly improving the operation range of the unmanned submersible.

[0013] Optionally, the fixed seat includes a fixed ear and a fixed plate. The fixed ear is fixedly connected to the hull, and a buffer partition is further arranged between the fixed ear and the hull. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the fixed ear, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the fixed plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, the cooperation of the fixed ear, the fixed plate and the buffer partition is used to reduce the impact and vibration generated during the movement of the hull on the base.

[0015] Optionally, there is a gap between the base and the fixed plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the gap between the base and the fixed plate can not only reduce the interference among the base, the fixed plate and the connecting rod during the movement of the hull, but also facilitate the heat dissipation of the base.

[0017] Optionally, there are two fixed ears, and the two fixed ears are symmetrically arranged with respect to the hull, so that the fixed plate, the connecting rod and the relay base station are all symmetrically arranged with respect to the hull.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, the symmetrically arranged fixed ears, fixed plate, connecting rod and relay base station are used to improve the stability and balance of the structure.

[0019] Optionally, a reinforcing member is connected between the symmetrically arranged connecting rods, and the reinforcing member fixedly connects the sides of the two symmetrically arranged connecting rods away from the fixed plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, the setting of the reinforcing member strengthens the stability of the connecting rod, making the connecting rod more stable.

[0021] Optionally, the reinforcing member includes a reinforcing rod, an abutting threaded block, and an adjusting threaded ear. The reinforcing rod is inserted through the connecting rod, and both ends of the reinforcing rod are provided with threads. The abutting threaded block and the adjusting threaded ear are threadedly connected to the reinforcing rod, and the abutting threaded block and the adjusting threaded ear respectively abut against both sides of the connecting rod.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, with the cooperation of the reinforcing rod, the abutting threaded block, and the adjusting threaded ear, the distance between the sides of the connecting rod away from the fixed plate can be adjusted, thereby controlling the distance between the base and the antenna.

[0023] Control the base and the end of the antenna to be in a state of mutual separation, thereby reducing the interference during the electromagnetic wave transmission between adjacent bases and antennas.

[0024] Optionally, a balancing member is connected between the fixing ear and the fixed plate, and the balancing member is located on both sides of the hull.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the balancing member maintains the balance and stability of the hull during movement.

[0026] Optionally, the balancing member includes a connecting plate and a floating block. One end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected between the fixing ear and the fixed plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to the floating block.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance between the floating block and the hull is increased by using the connecting plate, making the hull more stable.

[0028] Optionally, the fixed seat includes a boss. The boss is fixedly connected to the tail of the hull and is located on the axis of the hull. The connecting rod is fixedly connected to the boss. A relief groove is provided on the side of the boss close to the hull. A positioning antenna is fixedly connected to the tail of the hull, and the positioning antenna is located in the relief groove.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the boss is installed on the axis of the hull, making the hull more stable during movement. The setting of the relief groove facilitates the installation of the positioning antenna.

[0030] Optionally, a signal lamp is fixedly connected to the hull. The signal lamp is connected to the relay base station to display the communication status of the relay base station.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the communication status of the relay base station is displayed by using the signal lamp, which is convenient for the operator to quickly understand the working condition of the relay base station.

[0032] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0033] Through the cooperation of the hull, the drive assembly, the control assembly, the fixed seat, the connecting rod, the base and the antenna, the base can receive electromagnetic waves in a larger range, and the unmanned submersible moves in coordination with the hull. By only controlling the distance between the unmanned submersible and the base, the stable control of the unmanned submersible can be achieved. The hull drives the base to provide communication relay for the unmanned submersible, thus greatly improving the working range of the unmanned submersible;

Detailed Embodiment

[0041] The following further describes the present application in detail Figures 1-3 with reference to the attached drawings.

[0042] An embodiment of the present application discloses a communication relay unmanned ship.

[0043] Refer to Figure 1, the communication relay unmanned ship includes a hull 1, a fixing frame 2, and a relay base station 3. A driving component 11 and a control component 12 are installed on the hull 1. The driving component 11 is located at the bottom of the hull 1, and the control component 12 is connected to the driving component 11. The control component 12 is adapted to control the driving component 11 to drive the hull 1 to move. The fixing frame 2 includes a fixing base 21 and a connecting rod 22. The fixing base 21 is fixedly connected to the hull 1. One end of the connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the fixing base 21, and the other end extends away from the hull 1. The relay base station 3 includes a base 31 and an antenna 32. The base 31 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 22. One end of the antenna 32 is connected to the base 31, and the other end extends away from the hull 1. The hull 1 is used to drive the base 31 to provide communication relay for the unmanned submersible, thereby greatly improving the operation range of the unmanned submersible.

[0044] The control component 12 is arranged inside the hull 1 to facilitate remote control of the movement of the hull 1. In this embodiment, the driving component 11 includes two propellers 111 located at the stern. The two propellers 111 stably provide driving force for the hull 1, enabling the hull 1 to sail smoothly on the water surface.

[0045] In this embodiment, three relay base stations 3 are provided. Two of the relay base stations 3 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the hull 1, and the other relay base station 3 is arranged at the tail of the axis of the hull 1. In other embodiments, 2, 4 or other unequal numbers of bases 31 can also be arranged according to the space of the hull 1. The three relay base stations 3 in this embodiment are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the hull 1, so that the hull 1 is more stable during the movement with the three relay base stations 3.

[0046] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the fixing bases 21 located on both sides of the hull 1 include fixing ears 211 and fixing plates 212. The two fixing ears 211 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the hull 1, so that the fixing plates 212, the connecting rods 22, and the relay base stations 3 installed are all symmetrically arranged with respect to the hull 1. By using the symmetrically arranged fixing ears 211, fixing plates 212, connecting rods 22, and relay base stations 3, the stability and balance of the structure are improved.

[0047] The fixing ears 211 are fixedly connected to the hull 1, and a buffer partition 4 is also arranged between the fixing ears 211 and the hull 1. By using the buffer partition 4, the impact and vibration generated during the movement of the hull 1 are reduced from being transmitted to the fixing ears 211.

[0048] The fixing plate 212 is fixedly connected to the fixing ear 211, and the connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 212. The buffer partition 4 reduces the vibration and impact on the fixing ears 211 and the fixing plate 212, thereby reducing the impact and vibration generated during the movement of the hull 1 on the base 31.

[0049] There is a gap between the base 31 and the fixed plate 212 in this embodiment. Utilizing the gap between the base 31 and the fixed plate 212 can not only reduce the interference among the base 31, the fixed plate 212, and the connecting rod 22 during the movement of the hull 1, but also facilitate the heat dissipation of the base 31.

[0050] A reinforcing member 5 is connected between the symmetrically arranged connecting rods 22. The reinforcing member 5 in this embodiment includes a reinforcing rod 51, an abutting threaded block 52, and an adjusting threaded ear 53. In other embodiments, reinforcing ribs, etc. can also be provided. By setting the reinforcing member 5, the stability of the connecting rod 22 is enhanced, making the connecting rod 22 more stable.

[0051] The reinforcing rod 51 is inserted through the connecting rod 22, and threads are provided at both ends of the reinforcing rod 51. The abutting threaded block 52 and the adjusting threaded ear 53 are threadedly connected to the reinforcing rod 51, and the abutting threaded block 52 and the adjusting threaded ear 53 respectively abut against both sides of the connecting rod 22. By the cooperation of the reinforcing rod 51, the abutting threaded block 52, and the adjusting threaded ear 53, the two connecting rods 22 are connected into a whole, making the structure of the fixing frame 2 more stable.

[0052] At the same time, by rotating the abutting threaded block 52 and the adjusting threaded ear 53, the distance between the sides of the connecting rod 22 away from the fixed plate 212 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the distance between the base 31 and the antenna 32. By controlling the ends of the base 31 and the antenna 32 to be in a mutually separated state, the interference during the electromagnetic wave transmission between adjacent bases 31 and antennas 32 is reduced.

[0053] A balancing member 6 is connected between the fixing ear 211 and the fixed plate 212, and the balancing member 6 is located on both sides of the hull 1. The balancing member 6 in this embodiment includes a connecting plate 61 and a floating block 62. In other embodiments, the balancing member 6 can also only use the floating block 62. By setting the balancing member 6, the balance and stability of the hull 1 during movement are maintained.

[0054] In this embodiment, one end of the connecting plate 61 is fixedly connected between the fixing ear 211 and the fixed plate 212, and the other end is fixedly connected to the floating block 62. The length of the connecting plate 61 is adaptively set according to the length of the hull 1. By using the connecting plate 61, the distance between the floating block 62 and the hull 1 is increased, making the hull 1 more stable.

[0055] Refer to Figure 1 , the fixed seat 21 located at the stern of the hull 1 includes a boss 213. The boss 213 is fixedly connected to the tail of the hull 1, and the boss 213 is located on the axis of the hull 1. Installing the boss 213 on the axis of the hull 1 makes the hull 1 more stable during movement.

[0056] The connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the boss 213. A relief groove 214 is provided on the side of the boss 213 close to the hull 1. A positioning antenna 13 is fixedly connected to the tail of the hull 1. The positioning antenna 13 is located in the relief groove 214. The provision of the relief groove 214 facilitates the installation of the positioning antenna 13.

[0057] A signal lamp 7 is fixedly connected to the hull 1. The signal lamp 7 is connected to the relay base station 3 to display the communication status of the relay base station 3. Using the signal lamp 7 to display the communication status of the relay base station 3 facilitates the operator to quickly understand the working conditions of the relay base station 3.

[0058] In this embodiment, if the signal lamp 7 is red, the relay base station 3 is in an unconnected state. If the signal lamp 7 is green, the relay base station 3 is in a communication state. If the signal lamp 7 flashes red and green, it indicates that the communication status is poor.

[0059] The implementation principle of a communication relay unmanned ship in an embodiment of this application is as follows: Buffer partitions 4 and fixing ears 211 are respectively installed on both sides of the hull 1. The connecting plate 61 and the fixing plate 212 are installed on the fixing ears 211. The connecting plate 61 is located between the fixing ears 211 and the fixing plate 212. Then the floating block 62 is installed on the side of the connecting plate 61 away from the hull 1. The connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 212. One side of the base 31 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 22. The abutting threaded block 52 is threadedly connected to both ends of the reinforcing rod 51. Then the reinforcing rod 51 is passed through the symmetrically arranged connecting rods 22. The adjusting threaded ear 53 is threadedly connected to both ends of the reinforcing rod 51. The distance between the connecting rods 22 is adjusted by using the abutting threaded block 52 and the adjusting threaded ear 53, thereby completing the installation of the relay base stations 3 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hull 1.

[0060] A boss 213 is installed at the tail of the hull 1. The connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the boss 213. One side of the base 31 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 22, thereby completing the installation of the relay base station 3 at the tail.

[0061] The unmanned submersible and the hull 1 are simultaneously put into the water. With the cooperation of the control component 12 and the driving component 11, the hull 1 is driven to move on the water surface following the unmanned submersible. Since the base 31 is located on the water surface and the antenna 32 receives electromagnetic waves, the electromagnetic wave transmission of the base 31 is not affected by the water surface. The hull 1 and the unmanned submersible move in coordination, so that the base 31 is relatively close to the unmanned submersible. Therefore, the electromagnetic waves transmitted between the base 31 and the unmanned submersible are less affected by the water surface, enabling stable electromagnetic wave propagation between the base 31 and the unmanned submersible.

[0062] Since the base 31 is located above the water surface, the base 31 can receive electromagnetic waves in a larger range. The unmanned submersible moves in coordination with the hull 1. By only controlling the distance between the unmanned submersible and the base 31, stable control of the unmanned submersible can be achieved. The hull 1 drives the base 31 to provide communication relay for the unmanned submersible, thereby greatly improving the operating range of the unmanned submersible.

[0063] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
