Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned vessel technology, specifically to an unmanned vessel anti-capsulation device. Background Technology
[0002] Unmanned surface vessels (USVs) are a type of surface robot that uses positioning and sensing technologies to perform pre-set tasks through remote human control. They are widely used in fields such as water monitoring, surveying, security, and military reconnaissance.
[0003] Existing unmanned surface vessels (USVs) share a similar basic design structure with conventional vessels. However, USVs are typically smaller in weight and dimensions, making them more prone to capsizing in rough waters. This can lead to damage, inconvenience for users, and financial losses.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An unmanned surface vessel (USV) anti-capsulation device is disclosed. The device is installed on both sides of the hull and includes two sets of identical anti-capsulation components. These two sets of components are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the hull. Each anti-capsulation component includes a mounting base, an extension module, and a drive module. The mounting base is fixedly installed on the side of the hull and has a mounting groove extending through the end of the mounting base away from the hull. One end of the extension module is fixedly installed within the mounting base and located in the mounting groove. The drive module is installed inside the hull and connected to the extension module.
[0007] The extension module includes a fixing plate and an airbag. One end of the airbag is fixedly installed on the fixing plate, and the other end of the airbag is fixedly installed on the end of the mounting base near the hull. Several through sleeves are evenly arranged inside the airbag. The through sleeves pass through the airbag and are integrally formed with the airbag.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an unmanned vessel anti-capsulation device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This unmanned surface vessel anti-capsulation device, by installing anti-capsulation components on both sides of the hull, can effectively enhance the hull's buoyancy when the anti-capsulation components are deployed, while also increasing the hull's base contact area with the water surface, thereby increasing the overall support area of the hull, improving its ability to resist wind and waves, effectively reducing the possibility of the hull capsizing due to excessive wind and waves, and thus effectively ensuring the safety of the hull and reducing the possibility of hull damage.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0024] An anti-capsulation device for an unmanned vessel is installed on both sides of the hull 1. The device includes two sets of identical anti-capsulation components, which are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the hull 1 to maintain the balance and stability of the hull 1. Each anti-capsulation component includes a mounting base 2, an extension module, and a drive module. The mounting base 2 is fixedly installed on the side of the hull 1 and is used to install and store the extension module. The mounting base 2 has a mounting groove that extends through the side of the mounting base 2 away from the hull 1. One end of the extension module is fixedly installed in the mounting base 2 and is located in the mounting groove, so that the extension module can be stored in the mounting groove. The drive module is installed in the hull 1 and is connected to the extension module. The drive module can push the extension module out of the mounting base 2, causing the extension module to unfold.
[0025] The extension module includes a fixing plate 4 and an airbag 5. One side of the airbag 5 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 4. The fixing plate 4 can shape one side of the airbag 5 and drive the airbag 5 to expand. At the same time, the fixing plate 4 can also protect the side end of the airbag 5. The other end of the airbag 5 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 2 near the end of the hull 1. Several through sleeves 51 are evenly arranged inside the airbag 5. The through sleeves 51 pass through the airbag 5 and are integrally formed with the airbag 5. The through sleeves 51 allow the drive module to pass through the airbag 5 and connect to the fixing plate 4.
[0026] The drive module includes an electric push rod and a push rod 7. The electric push rod is fixedly installed inside the hull 1. The telescopic end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 7. The electric push rod can push the push rod 7 to move. The push rod 7 passes through the insert sleeve 51 of the airbag 5. The other end of the push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 4. The push rod 7 can push the fixing plate 4 out from the mounting base 2.
[0027] The outer contour of the fixing plate 4 is adapted to the mounting base 2.
[0028] An air pump 9 is installed inside the hull 1. The air pump 9 is connected to the airbag 5 through a conduit, and the air pump 9 can inflate the airbag 5.
[0029] Both the electric actuator and the air pump 9 are connected to the control system of the unmanned vessel, allowing users to remotely operate the electric actuator and the air pump 9.
[0030] Several movable sleeves 6 are evenly installed inside the insert sleeve 51. The movable sleeves 6 are fitted onto the telescopic rod of the top rod 7 or the electric push rod, and the movable sleeves 6 are slidably connected to the telescopic rod of the top rod 7 or the electric push rod. The telescopic rod of the top rod 7 or the electric push rod can move more smoothly inside the insert sleeve 51 through the movable sleeves 6. At the same time, the airbag 5 can be evenly expanded and contracted under the action of the movable sleeves 6.
[0031] Dry floats 3 are evenly installed on the side of the fixed plate 4 away from the airbag 5, which can enhance the buoyancy of the hull 1.
[0032] The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0033] When using this unmanned vessel anti-capsulation device, when the vessel 1 is operating in waters with large waves and needs to be stabilized, the user controls the extension rod of the electric push rod to extend. The electric push rod pushes the top rod 7 to extend. The top rod 7 pushes the fixing plate 4 outward within the insert sleeve 51 and movable sleeve 6 of the airbag 5. The fixing plate 4 can then drive the airbag 5 to extend from the mounting slot of the mounting base 2 and unfold. After the airbag 5 is extended into place, the air pump 9 is started. The air pump 9 inflates the airbag 5, causing the airbag 5 to inflate. Under the action of the airbags 5 on both sides, the contact support area between the vessel 1 and the water surface is expanded, thereby improving the stability of the vessel 1 and enhancing its resistance to lateral movement.
[0034] When the airbag 5 needs to be retracted, the air pump 9 is started to extract the air from the airbag 5. Then the electric push rod is reset, and the fixing plate 4 is reset through the push rod 7, so that the airbag 5 can be stored in the mounting slot in the mounting base 2.
[0035] This unmanned vessel anti-capsulation device, by installing anti-capsulation components on both sides of the hull 1, can effectively enhance the buoyancy of the hull 1 when the anti-capsulation components are deployed, and at the same time increase the base contact area between the hull 1 and the water surface, thereby increasing the overall support area of the hull 1, improving its ability to resist wind and waves, effectively reducing the possibility of the hull 1 capsizing due to excessive wind and waves, and thus effectively ensuring the safety of the hull 1 and reducing the possibility of damage to the hull 1.
