Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned vessel stabilization fin technology, specifically an electrically retractable and extendable stabilization fin for unmanned vessels. Background Technology

[0002] When the unmanned surface vessel (USV) is sailing, the use of stabilizing fins can effectively improve the stability of the hull. When the USV is being deployed or retracted, the deployment and retraction components can store the stabilizing fins, thereby reducing the possibility of collisions between the stabilizing fins and external objects.

[0003] In the existing technology, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN214524276U discloses an electrically retractable stabilizing fin for an unmanned surface vessel (USV) and the USV itself. The electrically retractable stabilizing fin includes a stabilizing fin, a drive motor, and a storage slot. The drive motor is connected to the stabilizing fin and controls its rotation. The stabilizing fin can be movably placed in the storage slot, which includes a connecting part for fixing to the hull and a slot for storing the stabilizing fin. The USV also includes a hull. The overall structure of the electrically retractable stabilizing fin and the USV of this invention is simple and reasonable, and easy to use. By driving the stabilizing fin down with the drive motor, the USV's resistance to water surface wave interference can be effectively improved. The stabilizing fin can be retracted into the storage slot to reduce driving resistance.

[0004] The aforementioned electrically retractable and deployable stabilizing fins for unmanned vessels are prone to accumulating on the inner wall of the collection tank due to the abundance of impurities and objects in the river during long-term operation. This increases the probability of impurities and objects becoming entangled in the stabilizing fins. Therefore, an electrically retractable and deployable stabilizing fin for unmanned vessels is proposed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

The outer wall of the cleaning scraper 19 is in contact with the inner wall of the storage groove 11. During operation, the drive assembly 12 is activated to retract and extend the stabilizing fin body 13. As the stabilizing fin body 13 rotates upward, the transmission gear 16 is driven to rotate along with it via the connecting curved plate 14. The rotating transmission gear 16 drives a pair of racks 18 to move towards the racks 17 via the tooth groove 17. Since the racks 18 are connected to the first cleaning scraper 19, the first cleaning scraper 19 rotates along with it.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, a sealing sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective box 2; the sealing sleeve 4 is sleeved on the top of the connecting top pipe 27; a filter plate 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the sealing sleeve 4; during operation, the sealing sleeve 4 can protect external objects, thereby reducing the occurrence of external objects directly contacting the connecting top pipe 27; improving the stability of the overall device during operation; and the filter plate 41 can filter the air adsorbed by the connecting top pipe 27, thereby reducing the occurrence of external impurities entering the inside of the airbag 21 through the connecting top pipe 27.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a support column 51 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the expansion groove 15 away from the rack 18; a connecting ring 5 is sleeved on the outer side of the support column 51; the connecting ring 5 is connected to the tooth groove 17; during operation, and during the movement of the rack 18, the tooth groove 17, the connecting ring 5 and the support column 51 cooperate with each other, which can improve the stability of the rack 18 during long-term operation.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a pair of limiting rods 7 are slidably connected to the top of the protective box 2; the limiting rods 7 are connected to the top of the extrusion plate 22; during operation, as the connecting curved plate 14 drives the airbag 21 to move downward through the connecting flexible plate 23 and the extrusion plate 22, the limiting rods 7 can limit the deformed airbag 21, thereby improving the stability of the airbag 21 during long-term operation.

[0034] Working principle: During operation, the drive assembly 12 is activated, which allows the stabilizing fin body 13 to extend and retract. As the stabilizing fin body 13 rotates upwards, the connecting curved plate 14 drives the transmission gear 16 to rotate as well. The rotating transmission gear 16 drives a pair of racks 18 to move towards the tooth groove 17. Because the racks 18 are connected to the first cleaning scraper 19, the first cleaning scraper 19 rotates as well. During the movement of the first cleaning scraper 19, impurities and items adhering to the inner wall of the storage tank 11 are scraped away, thereby improving the cleanliness of the inner wall of the storage tank 11 and reducing the amount of impurities adhering to the inner wall of the storage tank 11. Ultimately, this process removes impurities and items from the inner wall of the storage tank 11. The probability of objects becoming entangled in the stabilizing fin body 13 increases; the overall device improves the stability of the stabilizing fin body 13 during long-term operation; during operation, as the stabilizing fin body 13 moves, the connecting curved plate 14 drives the connecting flexible plate 23 to push the airbag 21 downwards, and during the compression of the airbag 21, air is sprayed onto the outer wall of the connecting curved plate 14 through the connecting pipe 24 and the jet pipe 25, thereby reducing the amount of impurities adhering to the surface of the connecting curved plate 14; the overall device improves the cleanliness of the surface of the connecting curved plate 14 and improves the stability of the connecting curved plate 14 driving the transmission gear 16 during long-term operation; and the sealing valve 26 can seal the jet pipe 25, ensuring the stability of the airbag 21. When not being pressed downwards, the water flow inside the jet pipe 25 can be blocked, and the connecting top pipe 27 can connect the airbag 21 with the outside air. During operation, the second cleaning scraper 32 is made of elastic material. The spring column 31 cooperates with the second cleaning scraper 32 to push the second cleaning scraper 32 to move inside the slide 3. Finally, the end of the second cleaning scraper 32 is in contact with the inner wall of the collection tank 11. During the movement of the first cleaning scraper 19, the second cleaning scraper 32 can also squeeze and clean the impurities attached to the inner wall of the collection tank 11. The overall device improves the cleanliness of the inside of the collection tank 11. During operation, the sealing sleeve column 4 can protect external objects, thereby reducing the direct impact of external objects. The contact between the connecting top pipe 27 and the air purifier is improved, thus enhancing the overall stability of the device during operation. Furthermore, the filter plate 41 filters the air adsorbed by the connecting top pipe 27, reducing the likelihood of external impurities entering the airbag 21 through the connecting top pipe 27. During operation, as the rack 18 moves, the toothed groove 17, connecting ring 5, and support column 51 cooperate to improve the stability of the rack 18 during prolonged operation. During operation, the first magnetic plate 6 and the second magnetic plate 61 repel each other due to magnetic force, causing the end of the second cleaning scraper 32 to fit more closely to the inner wall of the collection groove 11. The overall device improves the cleaning effect of the second cleaning scraper 32 on the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the collection groove 11.During operation, as the connecting curved plate 14 moves the airbag 21 downwards via the connecting flexible plate 23 and the extrusion plate 22, the limiting rod 7 can limit the deformation of the airbag 21, thereby improving the stability of the airbag 21 during long-term operation.
