Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent ship technology, and in particular to an intelligent platform for new energy unmanned autonomous ships. Background Technology
[0002] With the trend of informatization and intelligentization in the shipping industry, the current state of intelligent ship technology is rapidly evolving, encompassing several key areas, including automated navigation systems, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics. The integration of these technologies enables ships to achieve a high degree of autonomous navigation, reducing reliance on manual operation and thus improving navigation safety and efficiency. Specifically, automated navigation systems utilize advanced sensors and algorithms to perceive the surrounding environment in real time, perform path planning and obstacle avoidance, ensuring safe navigation in complex waters; and intelligent ship platform systems enable ships to automatically adjust their navigation strategies under different climatic and hydrological conditions, reducing the risk of accidents.
[0003] The development of intelligent ships in China mainly revolves around intelligent navigation, intelligent hull, intelligent engine room, intelligent energy efficiency management, intelligent cargo management, intelligent integration platforms, remote control of ships, and autonomous operation of ships. In practical applications, large merchant ships are the primary target vessel type for the installation of intelligent ship systems. Intelligent navigation primarily involves route and speed design and optimization, visual enhancement, collision warning, grounding warning, comprehensive information display, and detection parameter-assisted navigation, as well as short-range autonomous navigation in open waters. Fully autonomous navigation is subject to regulations and technical limitations, with only a small number of ships undergoing testing and no actual operational use. Other intelligent applications include intelligent engine rooms, intelligent energy efficiency management, and basic intelligent integration platforms for intelligent ships. These platforms analyze various navigation data to provide navigation suggestions and warnings, but do not directly control ship equipment. Applications of intelligent ship products are limited in other aspects such as intelligent hull, intelligent cargo management, remote control of ships, and autonomous operation. The basic intelligent integration platform is designed for applications such as assisted navigation, intelligent engine room, and intelligent energy efficiency, making it incompatible with applications related to autonomous navigation. Therefore, in the development path of the intelligent ship industry, based on integrated platforms, intelligent applications will focus on technological accumulation and application centered on autonomous navigation throughout the entire voyage. Furthermore, as regulations on carbon emissions in the shipping industry become increasingly stringent, ships are gradually shifting from fuel oil as the mainstream energy source to diversified clean energy sources. In the future, ships adaptable to multiple energy types will emerge. Unmanned autonomous ship intelligent platform systems will need to be adaptable to multiple energy sources to meet the future revolution in ship energy.
[0004] Therefore, current intelligent products related to intelligent ships do not have the capability to deploy intelligent applications for fully autonomous navigation. Furthermore, intelligent ships use customized development for connected devices, resulting in weak versatility and incompatibility with some devices, making it impossible to meet the future demand for multiple energy sources. In addition, current intelligent ships only use a single network for ship-to-shore communication, which is only suitable for a single use case and cannot meet the future demand for fully autonomous navigation, which requires the use of multiple network communications and mutual backup.
