Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned vessel technology, and in particular to a shore-based control box for unmanned vessels. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of unmanned intelligent technology, unmanned vessels are increasingly being used in fields such as water surface environmental protection and emergency firefighting. During unmanned vessel operations, operators remotely control and interact with data via shore-based control equipment. Currently, existing shore-based control terminals on the market are either bulky, have complex wiring, are difficult to maintain, inconvenient to carry, and fail to meet the requirements for outdoor operations in terms of waterproofing and dustproofing. Alternatively, they use small remote controls with limited display functions, interface types, and communication methods, poor expandability, and a poor human-machine interaction experience, failing to meet the functional needs of multiple purposes and scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0003] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0004] An unmanned surface vessel (USV) shore-based control box includes a control box body, an instruction operation panel, an equipment panel, and a display panel. The control box body has a power supply interface and a self-organizing network communication power supply connector at the rear. The instruction operation panel and the equipment panel are fixed inside the control box body, and the display panel is fixed inside the cover of the control box body. The bottom and top of the outer side of the control box body are respectively equipped with rollers and a tow handle for transporting the USV shore-based control box.

[0005] Preferably, the command operation panel is based on a base plate, with corresponding function descriptions printed next to each component. It is fixed to the inner wall of the control box using corner brackets. The command operation panel is equipped with various types of shore-based control box control knobs, buttons, and indicator lights; various remote control buttons, knobs, and switches for the unmanned surface vessel; a cooling fan; 5G communication module antenna mounting terminals; multiple USB devices, Ethernet, and HDMI display expansion interfaces; a megaphone; a shore-based secondary display screen; a keyboard and mouse; and the unmanned surface vessel's throttle and heading control handle.

[0006] Preferably, the unmanned vessel's throttle and heading control handle are fixed to the command operation panel base plate via a fixed base plate, hinges, and latches, forming a rotatable retraction mechanism; in the working state, rotating the throttle and heading control handle to the upper position locks them in place; after work, the latches are released, and the throttle and heading control handle are rotated to the lower limit position to retract them into the control box, facilitating the closing of the box for transportation.

[0007] Preferably, to reduce the number of wiring harnesses connecting the command operation panel and the equipment panel, improve reliability, and reduce maintenance difficulties, an electrical compartment for the command operation panel is integrated at the bottom of the command operation panel. Within this electrical compartment, all signal acquisition and control drive components of the shore-based control box command operation panel are integrated. These components are directly and reliably connected to all components on the command operation panel via industrial connectors, enabling signal acquisition, control, and display of all components on the shore-based command operation panel. A limited number of wiring harnesses are output to the equipment panel via internal and external connectors and interfaces within the electrical compartment, reducing cable complexity and subsequent maintenance difficulties.

[0008] Preferably, the equipment panel is fixed to the bottom of the control box using an equipment panel base plate. The base plate holds the industrial control computer, AC-to-DC low-voltage power supply, display power supply, and local area network switch, and is connected to the electrical compartment unit of the command operation panel via a small number of wires through various aviation plugs and interfaces.

[0009] Preferably, the display panel is fixed to the inside of the control box cover with a carbon fiber base plate, and the display screen is fixed to the inside of the cover by the display screen fastener.

[0010] The shore-based control box for unmanned vessels proposed in this utility model has the following advantages: First, in addition to having complete command and operation panel control components to ensure the basic remote control function of the unmanned vessel, it also provides various types of expansion interfaces and control components to facilitate subsequent functional expansion and meet the operation needs of different types of unmanned vessels; Second, the shore-based control box integrates 5G communication and self-organizing network communication functions to meet the communication needs of unmanned vessels in multiple types and scenarios; Third, it adopts a tugboat-mounted box design, dividing the equipment unit into command and operation panel electrical compartment equipment and equipment panel equipment, which facilitates equipment transportation and subsequent maintenance while improving system reliability and transportation shock resistance.
