[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an unmanned surface vessel (USV) monitoring device includes a monitoring mechanism installed on the USV.

[0040] By improving the monitoring mechanism, the monitoring system can be deployed underwater to enable timely detection of sinking rescue personnel or fallen cargo during search and rescue operations.

[0041] Specifically, the monitoring mechanism comprises a support structure, which specifically comprises two installation supports 2 symmetrically arranged on both sides, and a mounting seat 1 fixedly connected to the top of the installation support 2. According to the prior art, the installation support 2 is fixedly installed on the unmanned ship near the edge of the ship.

[0042] The top of the support structure is fixedly connected with slide rail structures extending to the outside of the unmanned ship on both sides. Specifically, a pair of front and rear slide rails 11 are respectively welded on the left and right side walls of the mounting seat 1, and the slide rails 11 extend to the outside of the unmanned ship.

[0043] A monitoring structure 3 is installed on each pair of slide rails 11. Specifically, the monitoring structure 3 comprises a moving frame structure sliding on the slide rail 11 structure. Specifically, the moving frame structure comprises a moving seat 31, and a plurality of slide seats 32 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving seat 31 and slide on the slide rail 11.

[0044] Moreover, the slide seat 32 is T-shaped, and a corresponding T-shaped sliding groove is formed in the slide rail 11 to enable the slide seat 32 to slide in the T-shaped sliding groove.

[0045] Meanwhile, in order to move the monitoring structure 3, the moving frame structure further comprises a lead screw structure for moving the moving seat 31, the lead screw structure comprises a lead screw motor 36 installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 1 (the motor body of the lead screw motor 36 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 1), and a lead screw 361 is installed on the output shaft of the lead screw motor 36.

[0046] Correspondingly, a drive seat 3611 is installed at the bottom center of the moving seat 31 and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 361. Meanwhile, in order to ensure the stable rotation of the lead screw 361, a U-shaped lead screw bracket 37 is fixedly connected between the ends of the slide rail 11, and a bearing is installed on the lead screw bracket 37 and rotationally connected to the lead screw 361.

[0047] During operation, the moving seat 31 is driven to move to the outside of the slide rail 11 under the drive of the lead screw motor 36, and the outside of the slide rail 11 is located outside the unmanned ship (above the water surface) to prepare for the submersion of the monitoring probe.

[0048] The top of the moving frame structure is provided with a rotating structure 35; the rotating structure 35 comprises a rotating seat 351, two swing arms 33 are rotationally connected to the two sides of the rotating seat 351, and a monitoring probe 39 is installed on the swing arm 33.

[0049] According to the existing lifting mode, the push rod (not shown in the figure) for lifting the monitoring probe 39 is assembled in the swing arm 33; the motor for driving the swing arm 33 to swing is installed in the rotating seat 351.

[0050] During the working process, when the mobile frame structure carrying the monitoring probe 39 moves to the outside of the slide rail 11, at this time, the rotating seat 351 on the rotating structure 35 is rotated to adjust the posture of the swing arm 33, then the motor in the rotating seat 351 drives the swing arm 33 to swing vertically downward, in this process, the electric push rod drives the monitoring probe 39 to monitor underwater, in this process, the underwater observation can be realized through the monitoring probe 39, such as observing the fallen personnel, fallen goods, etc.

[0051] Due to the different depths of water depth, the above structure is only applicable to the case where the sinking water surface depth is not high, and the picture can be monitored, but for deep water area, the picture in the deep water cannot be monitored.

[0052] Through this way, during the working process, when the unmanned ship drives to the accident site, the monitoring probe 39 is quickly submerged into the water, so that the background personnel can clearly see the underwater situation, and accurately send the position of the sinking fallen personnel to the nearby rescue personnel, so as to rescue the personnel in a short time and increase the survival probability of the rescue personnel.

[0057] During the rotation process, the rotating motor 38 is driven, at this time, the rotating seat 351 rotates, and the swing arm 33 and the monitoring probe 39 installed on the swing arm 33 follow the rotation, so as to continuously adjust the monitoring direction of the monitoring probe 39 during the working process.

[0058] The rotating seat 351 is provided with a cavity, and the motor is a double-output shaft motor 353 (the double-output shaft motor 353 is a conventional double-output shaft motor 353 disclosed by prior art). The double-output shaft motor 353 is fixedly connected with a driving shaft 3531 on two output shafts, and the driving shaft 3531 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the swing arm 33.

[0059] During work, the swing arms 33 on both sides are synchronously swung under the driving of the double-output shaft motor 353, and are synchronously switched from the vertical state to the vertical state.

[0060] The swing arm 33 is provided with an internal mounting cavity, and an electric push rod (the electric push rod is a conventional electric telescopic rod disclosed by prior art) is installed in the internal mounting cavity. The electric push rod is fixedly connected with a long mounting rod 34, and the long mounting rod 34 is installed at the telescopic end of the electric push rod (the long mounting rod 34 is slidably connected at the top of the swing arm 33).

[0061] During work, the swing arm 33 is switched to the vertical state, and at this time, the electric push rod drives the long mounting rod 34 to continue to descend to a deep position, so that the monitoring probe 39 is carried to dive underwater. In actual work, different lengths of electric push rods (the length of the corresponding swing arm 33 can be synchronously adjusted) are used according to the required diving depth of the probe. In this way, the monitoring probe 39 can monitor the underwater picture after being lowered into water, and the picture of the personnel or goods under water can be collected in time, so that subsequent accurate rescue is facilitated.

[0062] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present application, and the present application is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or replacements made by the person skilled in the art within the essential scope of the present application should also be within the protection scope of the present application.
