Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of AUV underwater recovery control equipment, specifically to an AUV underwater recovery control device for ships. Background Technology

[0002] AUV underwater recovery control devices for ships refer to equipment used to control and manage autonomous underwater vehicles. They are primarily used for recovering AUVs, transmitting data, communication, and monitoring. An AUV is an unmanned underwater vehicle capable of autonomous underwater operation without human intervention. These autonomous underwater vehicles are typically equipped with various sensors, navigation systems, and control systems, enabling them to independently perform various underwater tasks. AUVs usually possess a certain degree of intelligence and autonomous decision-making capabilities, able to autonomously plan paths, avoid obstacles, execute tasks, and return to base based on preset mission and environmental conditions. AUVs are used in marine science research... It has been widely used in fields such as marine research, seabed resource exploration, and marine environmental monitoring. Patent number CN202420920151.8 discloses an underwater recovery control device for marine AUVs. By installing a connector on the recovery roller, users can connect the power cord or data cable to the interface to replenish and control the AUV's power, reducing the inconvenience of repeatedly recharging the AUV. However, during the use of the underwater recovery control device, the rope winds around the surface of the recovery roller, and the lack of a good limiting structure on the outer periphery of the recovery roller makes it easy for the rope to become loose around the outer periphery of the recovery roller. Therefore, we propose an underwater recovery control device for marine AUVs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides an underwater recovery control device for marine AUVs.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is an underwater recovery control device for a marine AUV, including a base. The top surface of the base is bolted with lugs for support, and there are two sets of lugs. A winding roller for recovering the rope is rotatably installed between the two sets of lugs, and a U-shaped plate for support is assembled between the two sets of lugs. A sliding sleeve is assembled on the side of the U-shaped plate away from the lugs, and there are two sets of sliding sleeves. An adjustment support plate is slidably installed inside the sliding sleeve, and a pressure roller that abuts against the winding roller is rotatably installed between the two sets of support plates.

[0005] The side of the U-shaped plate away from the ear seat has an integrally constructed frame for support, and there are two sets of frames. The end of the frame away from the U-shaped plate is fitted with a cover plate for sealing by screws, and the end of the support plate located inside the frame has an integrally constructed ear plate that fits into the frame. A spring for pushing the ear plate to move is installed between the cover plate and the ear plate, and the side of the cover plate close to the frame has an integrally constructed straight rod that is inserted and connected to the ear plate, and there are multiple sets of straight rods.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, in the process of using the underwater recovery control equipment for AUVs used on ships, the drive motor on the outer side of the base surface lug drives the roller to rotate and can wind up the rope. During the winding process, the pressure roller can always abut against the outer periphery of the roller and move with the expansion of the rope around the roller. Thus, the pressure roller can be used to tighten and limit the rope wound around the outer periphery of the roller, so that the roller can wind up the rope more stably and facilitate the subsequent recovery of the AUV.

[0007] When the pressure roller is in operation, the spring on the outer cover plate of the frame provides thrust to the sliding ear plate inside the frame, so that the ear plate can provide pressure to the pressure roller through the support plate, so that the pressure roller can stably abut against the outer periphery of the winding roller, which facilitates the limiting of the rope wound around the outer periphery of the winding roller. At the same time, the straight rod on the outer side of the cover plate and the pre-set hole on the surface of the ear plate are interlocked and slidably connected, which helps to improve the stability of the ear plate when sliding displacement inside the frame, and improves the stability of the support plate and the pressure roller displacement, so that the pressure roller can operate more stably.

[0008] Specifically, the two sets of support plates are integrally constructed with support rods for auxiliary support, and there are multiple sets of support rods.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the support rod is located between the two sets of support plates and improves the stability of the two sets of support plates, so that the two sets of support plates can form a whole and facilitate subsequent stable support for the pressure roller, so that the pressure roller can operate stably.

[0010] Specifically, a limiting rod is screwed onto the outer wall surface of the frame.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to limit the position of the pressure roller, simply press the pressure roller with force and cause the support plate to retract into the frame. When the ear plate inside the frame is displaced to a certain position, the rotating rod on the outside of the frame can be rotated so that one end of the rotating rod can be screwed into the inside of the frame. This facilitates limiting the position of the sliding ear plate inside the frame and also facilitates limiting the position of the pressure roller.

[0012] Specifically, the outer periphery of the roller is bonded with a protective rubber sleeve.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber sleeve has good elasticity, which helps to reduce the friction and scratches caused by the rope winding between the pressure roller and the outer periphery of the winding roller.

[0014] Specifically, the outer wall surface of the support plate is integrally constructed with a protruding strip for support, and the inner circumferential surface of the sliding sleeve is provided with a groove that matches the protruding strip.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the convex strip and the groove fit together, which facilitates the improvement of the stability of the sliding displacement between the support plate and the sliding sleeve, so that the support plate can slide more stably.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The technical solution of this application, through the design of lugs, rollers, U-shaped plates, sliding sleeves, support plates, and pressure rollers, enables the use of underwater recovery control equipment for AUVs on ships. During the use of this equipment, the drive motor on the outer side of the lugs on the base surface drives the rollers to rotate and wind up the ropes. During the winding process, the pressure rollers are always in contact with the outer periphery of the rollers and move with the expansion of the ropes around the rollers. This allows the pressure rollers to tighten and limit the ropes wound around the outer periphery of the rollers, making the rollers more stable in winding up the ropes and facilitating the subsequent recovery of the AUVs.

[0018] 2. The technical solution of this application, through the design of ear plates, cover plates, frames, springs and straight rods, allows the springs on the cover plates on the outer side of the frame to provide thrust to the ear plates sliding inside the frame during the operation of the pressure roller. This enables the ear plates to provide pressure to the pressure roller through the support plates, allowing the pressure roller to stably abut against the outer periphery of the winding roller. This facilitates the limiting of the rope wound around the outer periphery of the winding roller. At the same time, the straight rods on the outer side of the cover plates interlock and slide with the pre-set holes on the surface of the ear plates, which improves the stability of the ear plates during sliding displacement inside the frame and also improves the stability of the support plates and the pressure roller during displacement, enabling the pressure roller to operate more stably.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an underwater recovery control device for a marine AUV, comprising a base 1, with lugs 2 for support bolted to the top surface of the base 1, and two sets of lugs 2. A reel 3 for retrieval rope is rotatably mounted between the two sets of lugs 2, and a U-shaped plate 4 for support is assembled between the two sets of lugs 2. A sliding sleeve 6 is assembled on the side of the U-shaped plate 4 away from the lugs 2, and two sets of sliding sleeves 6. An adjustment support plate 7 is slidably mounted inside the sliding sleeve 6, and a mechanism is rotatably mounted between the two sets of support plates 7. The roller 8 abuts against the roller 3; the side of the U-shaped plate 4 away from the ear seat 2 is integrally constructed with a frame 5 for support, and there are two sets of frame 5. The end of the frame 5 away from the U-shaped plate 4 is fitted with a cover plate 10 for sealing by screws, and the end of the support plate 7 located inside the frame 5 is integrally constructed with an ear plate 9 that fits into the frame 5. A spring 11 for pushing the ear plate 9 to move is installed between the cover plate 10 and the ear plate 9, and the side of the cover plate 10 close to the frame 5 is integrally constructed with a straight rod 12 that is inserted and connected to the ear plate 9, and there are multiple sets of straight rods 12.

[0026] In use, during the operation of the underwater recovery control equipment for AUVs used on ships, the drive motor on the outer side of the lug 2 on the surface of the base 1 drives the roller 3 to rotate and can wind up the rope. During the winding process, the pressure roller 8 can always abut against the outer periphery of the roller 3 and move with the expansion of the rope around the outer periphery of the roller 3. Thus, the pressure roller 8 can be used to tighten and limit the rope wound around the outer periphery of the roller 3, so that the roller 3 can wind up the rope more stably and facilitate the subsequent recovery of the AUV.

[0027] When the pressure roller 8 is in operation, the spring 11 on the outer cover plate 10 of the frame 5 can provide thrust to the sliding ear plate 9 inside the frame 5, so that the ear plate 9 can provide pressure to the pressure roller 8 through the support plate 7, so that the pressure roller 8 can stably abut against the outer periphery of the winding roller 3, which is convenient for limiting the rope wound around the outer periphery of the winding roller 3. At the same time, the straight rod 12 on the outer side of the cover plate 10 and the pre-set hole on the surface of the ear plate 9 are interlocked and slidably connected, which can improve the stability of the ear plate 9 when sliding displacement inside the frame 5, and improve the stability of the support plate 7 and the pressure roller 8 when displacement, so that the pressure roller 8 can operate more stably.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, there is an integral support rod 16 between the two sets of support plates 7 for auxiliary support, and there are multiple sets of support rods 16.

[0029] During use, the support rod 16 is located between the two sets of support plates 7 and improves the stability of the two sets of support plates 7, so that the two sets of support plates 7 can form a whole and facilitate subsequent stable support for the pressure roller 8, so that the pressure roller 8 can operate stably.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a limiting screw rod 17 is screwed onto the outer wall surface of the frame 5.

[0031] When in use, if it is necessary to limit the position of the pressure roller 8, simply press the pressure roller 8 and cause the support plate 7 to retract into the frame 5. When the ear plate 9 inside the frame 5 is displaced to a certain position, the rotating rod 17 on the outside of the frame 5 can be rotated so that one end of the rotating rod 17 can be screwed into the frame 5. This facilitates limiting the position of the sliding ear plate 9 inside the frame 5 and also facilitates limiting the position of the pressure roller 8.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a protective rubber sleeve 15 is bonded to the outer periphery of the roller 3.

[0033] When in use, the rubber sleeve 15 has good elasticity, which helps to reduce the friction between the pressure roller 8 and the rope wound around the outer periphery of the winding roller 3, thus reducing the risk of abrasion.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall surface of the support plate 7 is integrally constructed with a protruding strip 13 for support, and the inner circumferential surface of the sliding sleeve 6 is provided with a groove 14 that matches the protruding strip 13.

[0035] In use, the protrusion 13 and the groove 14 fit together to improve the stability of the sliding displacement between the support plate 7 and the sliding sleeve 6, so that the support plate 7 can slide more stably.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, first, install the corresponding structural components in suitable positions. During the use of the AUV underwater recovery control equipment for ships, the drive motor on the outer side of the lug 2 on the base 1 drives the roller 3 to rotate and wind up the rope. During the winding process, the pressure roller 8 remains in contact with the outer periphery of the roller 3 and moves with the expansion of the rope around the roller 3. This allows the pressure roller 8 to tighten and limit the rope wound around the roller 3, enabling the roller 3 to more stably wind up the rope and facilitate subsequent AUV recovery. Simultaneously, during the operation of the pressure roller 8… At the same time, the spring 11 on the outer cover plate 10 of the frame 5 can provide thrust to the sliding ear plate 9 inside the frame 5, so that the ear plate 9 can provide pressure to the pressure roller 8 through the support plate 7, so that the pressure roller 8 can stably abut against the outer periphery of the winding roller 3, which is convenient for limiting the rope wound around the outer periphery of the winding roller 3. At the same time, the straight rod 12 on the outer side of the cover plate 10 and the pre-set hole on the surface of the ear plate 9 are interlocked and slidably connected, which can improve the stability of the ear plate 9 when sliding displacement inside the frame 5, and improve the stability of the support plate 7 and the pressure roller 8 when displacement, so that the pressure roller 8 can operate more stably, and the recycling control equipment can recycle the AUV more stably.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
