Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mother-daughter unmanned surface vessel technology, and in particular to a multifunctional mother-daughter unmanned surface vessel. Background Technology
[0002] A mother-daughter unmanned surface vessel (USV) is an unmanned surface vessel system consisting of a mother vessel and a daughter vessel. It can be used to monitor water quality, hydrological, meteorological and other parameters of water bodies such as lakes, rivers and oceans.
[0003] A search of Chinese patent publication number "CN216332622U" reveals a "mother-daughter type unmanned water quality monitoring vessel". The shallow water sampling sub-vessel is separated from the sub-vessel trough. Since both the deep water sampling mother vessel and the shallow water sampling sub-vessel have a drive structure, the shallow water sampling sub-vessel departs from the mother vessel. At this time, the deep water sampling mother vessel releases the deep water reel collection mechanism at the bottom to sample the water layer in the deep water area. Due to the water depth, the release speed is relatively slow. During the release interval, the operator can collect water samples from the shallow water layer through the shallow water sampling sub-vessel, thereby improving the diversity of the collection and increasing the collection speed.
[0004] Based on the above search and existing technology, it was found that the above patent has certain defects. When recovering the sub-boat, the mother-daughter unmanned vessel cannot guide the sub-boat. Therefore, in the current situation of large winds and waves, it is easy to encounter the problem of difficulty in recovering the sub-boat, which is not conducive to its use. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a multifunctional mother-daughter unmanned surface vessel, solving the technical problems that make existing mother-daughter unmanned surface vessels unsuitable for use.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0009] A multifunctional mother-daughter unmanned surface vessel (USV) includes a mother USV body, the mother USV body having a storage compartment inside.
[0010] A guide structure is fixedly installed inside the storage slot;
[0011] The guiding structure includes an electric push rod, and two first guide rods are symmetrically fixedly installed on the output shaft side wall of the electric push rod. Both first guide rods are L-shaped.
[0012] Preferably, each of the two first guide rods has a through-groove, a waterproof motor is fixedly installed at the upper end of each of the two first guide rods, the output shafts of the two waterproof motors are rotatably installed with the through-groove, an amplification rod is fixedly installed at the lower end of the output shafts of the two waterproof motors, the two amplification rods are located below the first guide rods, a second guide rod is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of each of the two amplification rods, a first limiting grid is provided at the lower end of each of the two first guide rods, and a second limiting grid is provided at the lower end of each of the two second guide rods.

[0014] Preferably, the upper part of the mother unmanned vessel body is equipped with a control unit, and the upper part of the mother unmanned vessel body is equipped with a camera, which is on the same side as the daughter unmanned vessel body.
[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Firstly, by setting up a guiding structure, staff can activate an electric push rod to move the first guide rod and the first limiting grille to the outside of the sub-boat cavity. This allows for lateral guidance when the sub-unmanned vessel returns to the sub-boat cavity, thus avoiding the problem of difficulty in docking the sub-unmanned vessel with the sub-boat cavity due to excessive wind and waves.

[0024] This application provides a multifunctional mother-daughter unmanned surface vessel (USV), effectively solving the technical problems of existing USVs being unsuitable for use. By setting up a guiding structure, operators can activate an electric push rod to move the first guide rod and the first limiting grid outwards from the sub-vessel cavity. This allows for lateral guidance when the sub-vessel body returns to the sub-vessel cavity, avoiding difficulties in docking the sub-vessel body with the sub-vessel cavity due to excessive wind and waves. Furthermore, by setting up a waterproof motor, an expansion rod, a second guide rod, and a second limiting grid, the guiding structure can be further extended. At the same time, the waterproof motor can control the angle changes of the second guide rod and the second limiting grid, thereby increasing the angle between the second guide rods and improving the guiding range, further facilitating the docking of the sub-vessel body with the sub-vessel cavity.
[0025] Example
[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the technical problem that existing mother-daughter unmanned surface vessels are not conducive to use. The overall idea is as follows:
[0027] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a multifunctional mother-daughter unmanned vessel, including a mother unmanned vessel body 11, and a storage slot 12 is provided inside the mother unmanned vessel body 11.
[0028] A guide structure is fixedly installed inside the storage slot 12;
[0029] The guiding structure includes an electric push rod 13, and two first guide rods 14 are symmetrically fixed on the side wall of the output shaft of the electric push rod 13. Both first guide rods 14 are L-shaped.
[0030] By setting up a guiding structure, the staff can activate the electric push rod 13 to push the first guide rod 14 and the first limiting grille 19 to move outwards from the sub-boat cavity 22. This allows for lateral guidance when the sub-unmanned vessel body 23 returns to the sub-boat cavity 22, thus avoiding the problem of difficulty in docking the sub-unmanned vessel body 23 with the sub-boat cavity 22 due to excessive wind and waves.
[0031] Both first guide rods 14 have through slots 15. Waterproof motors 16 are fixedly installed at the upper ends of both first guide rods 14. The output shafts of both waterproof motors 16 are rotatably installed with the slots 15. Amplification rods 17 are fixedly installed at the lower ends of the output shafts of both waterproof motors 16. Both amplification rods 17 are located below the first guide rods 14. Second guide rods 18 are fixedly installed on the circumferential surfaces of both amplification rods 17. First limiting grids 19 are provided at the lower ends of both first guide rods 14. Second limiting grids 21 are provided at the lower ends of both second guide rods 18.
[0032] By setting up a waterproof motor 16, an expansion rod 17, a second guide rod 18, and a second limiting grille 21, the guiding structure can be further extended. At the same time, the waterproof motor 16 can control the angle of the second guide rod 18 and the second limiting grille 21 to increase the angle between the second guide rods 18 and improve the guiding range, thereby further facilitating the docking of the sub-unmanned vessel body 23 and the sub-vessel cavity 22.
[0033] The mother unmanned vessel body 11 has a sub-vessel cavity 22 inside, and the sub-unmanned vessel body 23 is embedded inside the sub-vessel cavity 22. The connection between the bow of the sub-vessel cavity 22 and the sub-unmanned vessel body 23 is an electromagnet magnetic connection. The upper end of the mother unmanned vessel body 11 is equipped with a control unit 24 and a camera 25. The camera 25 is on the same side as the sub-unmanned vessel body 23.
[0034] By setting up control unit 24, staff can remotely control waterproof motor 16, electric push rod 13 and camera 25, thereby observing the guidance structure and facilitating timely adjustment of the guidance structure to dock with the unmanned vessel body 23.
[0035] Working principle:
[0036] The first step is that when the sub-unmanned vessel body 23 needs to enter the sub-vessel cavity 22, the staff can activate the electric push rod 13, so that the output shaft of the electric push rod 13 drives the first guide rod 14 and the second guide rod 18 to extend outward of the mother unmanned vessel body 11, thereby limiting the outer side of the sub-vessel cavity 22.
[0037] The second step involves the operator activating the waterproof motors 16. This causes the output shafts of the two waterproof motors 16 to drive the second guide rods 18 to rotate away from each other via the expansion rods 17. This expands the angle of the second guide rods 18 and increases the guiding range. When the operator moves the sub-unmanned vessel body 23 into the sub-vessel cavity 22, the first guide rod 14, the second guide rod 18, and the second guide rod 18 can guide the sides of the sub-unmanned vessel body 23 to a certain extent. Simultaneously, the operator can observe the current positions of the first guide rod 14, the second guide rod 18, and the storage slot 12 through the camera 25. This allows for further control of the extension length of the first guide rod 14 and the angle of the second guide rod 18 via the electric push rod 13 and the waterproof motors 16 to guide the sub-unmanned vessel body 23 until it enters the sub-vessel cavity 22. At this point, the sub-vessel cavity 22 will magnetically fix the sub-unmanned vessel body 23.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
