Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned surface vessel (USV) technology, and in particular to an energy dispatching device for USVs suitable for polar low-temperature environments. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of polar exploration and scientific research, unmanned surface vessels (USVs) are playing an increasingly important role due to their strong autonomy and wide operating range. However, the low-temperature polar environment poses a severe challenge to the energy systems of USVs. Traditional energy dispatching devices experience significant performance degradation and reduced energy conversion efficiency at low temperatures, and are difficult to adapt to the complex and variable working conditions in the polar regions. Polar low temperatures lead to decreased battery performance and poor fuel flow. Furthermore, USVs performing missions in the polar regions may face demands such as long-duration voyages and high-intensity operations, placing higher requirements on the stable supply and efficient dispatching of energy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a USV energy dispatching device specifically designed for polar low-temperature environments to ensure the reliable operation of USVs under extreme conditions, improve energy utilization efficiency, and provide strong support for polar scientific research, monitoring, and other missions.

[0003] However, in common polar low-temperature environments, when unmanned surface vessels (USVs) run out of power and remain on the sea surface, the sea surface will freeze rapidly at extremely low temperatures. When the ice forms, the seawater expands, fixing, encasing, and squeezing the equipment, causing damage and deformation, and rendering the equipment unable to move. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an unmanned surface vessel energy dispatching device suitable for polar low-temperature environments in order to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an unmanned surface vessel (USV) energy dispatching device suitable for polar low-temperature environments, comprising an USV, wherein: the bottom of the USV is provided with a self-docking device for docking the USV on ice; the self-docking device includes a slide rail storage groove, a slide rail, a rotating connecting block, a rotating connecting rod, a rotating protrusion, a rotating connecting rod storage groove, a power rod, and a cylinder number one, wherein the slide rail is slidably connected to the inner side of the slide rail storage groove, the rotating connecting block is fixedly connected to the top of the slide rail, the rotating connecting rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating connecting block, the rotating protrusion is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating connecting rod, the inner side of the rotating connecting rod storage groove is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating protrusion, the power rod is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating connecting rod, and a cylinder number one is fixedly connected to the top of the power rod.

[0006] Optionally, the unmanned surface vessel is internally connected to a geared motor, a steering wheel is slidably connected to the outside of the geared motor, a second cylinder is fixedly connected below the steering wheel, and a propeller is fixedly connected below the second cylinder.

[0007] Optionally, a steering connecting rod is rotatably connected above the steering wheel, and a fan fixing frame is rotatably connected to the other end of the steering connecting rod. A fan is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fan fixing frame, and a fan fixing frame rotating protrusion is fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the outer side of the fan fixing frame. A signal rod fixing seat is rotatably connected above the fan fixing frame rotating protrusion.

[0008] Optionally, a support column is fixedly connected to the top of the unmanned surface vessel, a solar panel is fixedly connected to the top of the support column, and a solar panel heating wire is fixedly connected to the top of the solar panel.

[0009] Optionally, a signal rod fixing seat is fixedly connected to the back side of the solar panel heating wire, and a signal rod is fixedly connected above the signal rod fixing seat.

[0016] In operation, this invention prioritizes solar power. The heating wires in the storage compartment maintain the internal temperature, power the equipment, and facilitate the operation of communication devices. When the equipment is in darkness, it is powered by the main battery, while the auxiliary battery replenishes the main battery, powers the heating wires in the storage compartment, and operates the communication devices. When the auxiliary battery has one-quarter of its charge remaining, it stops replenishing the main battery and dedicates its power to heating the equipment and operating the communication devices. During operation, the wind will drive the fan to generate electricity, charging the main battery and ensuring continuous operation of the equipment.

[0017] When the main battery's charge drops below one-tenth and the auxiliary battery is not being recharged, the device will activate cylinder one to pull the power rod upwards. This, in turn, rotates the connecting rod, the protrusion, and the connecting block to lower the slide rail. The camera monitors the movement, and then cylinder two retracts to stop the device on the ice, preventing it from freezing. When the main battery is completely depleted, the device stops operating. The remaining power in the auxiliary battery sustains the device's heating and communication functions, ensuring the device's lifespan and maintaining communication connectivity.

[0042] Reference Figure 1-5 During the operation of the equipment, solar power is used first. The heating wire 26 in the placement compartment heats up the water to ensure the temperature inside the boat, power the equipment, and the communication equipment. When the equipment is in darkness, the main battery 27 powers the equipment, while the auxiliary battery 28 replenishes the main battery 27, heats the placement compartment heating wire 26, and powers the communication device. When the auxiliary battery 28 has one-quarter of its charge remaining, it stops replenishing the main battery 27 and is dedicated to powering the equipment for heating and the operation of the communication device 30.

[0043] Reference Figure 1-6 When the equipment is running, the wind will drive the fan 14 to rotate and generate electricity to charge the main battery 27, ensuring the continuous operation of the equipment. When the main battery 27 has less than one-tenth of its charge and the auxiliary battery 28 is not being recharged, the equipment will activate the first cylinder 7 to pull the power rod 6 upward. By rotating the connecting rod 5, the protrusion 8 and the connecting block 4 will be rotated to lower the slide rail 3. The camera 22 will then observe the movement. Finally, the second cylinder 15 will retract to stop the equipment on the ice surface to prevent it from freezing.

[0044] Reference Figure 1-5 When the main battery 27 is depleted, the device stops operating. The remaining power in the auxiliary battery 28 sustains the device's heating and communication functions, ensuring the device's lifespan and communication connectivity.

[0045] Reference Figure 1-4The unmanned surface vessel 1 has a geared motor 9 fixedly connected inside, a steering wheel 10 slidably connected to the outside of the geared motor 9, a second cylinder 15 fixedly connected below the steering wheel 10, and a propeller 16 fixedly connected below the second cylinder 15. This can drive the geared motor 9, which in turn drives the propeller 16, thus controlling the direction of the equipment's movement in the water.

[0046] Reference Figure 1-4 A direction connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the top of the steering wheel 10. A fan mounting frame 12 is rotatably connected to the other end of the direction connecting rod 11. A fan 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fan mounting frame 12. Rotating protrusions 13 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower outer sides of the fan mounting frame 12. A signal rod mounting base 23 is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating protrusions 13. This system can drive a geared motor 9, which in turn drives the fan 14, thus controlling the direction of the equipment's movement on the ice.

[0047] Reference Figure 1-3 A support column 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the unmanned surface vessel 1. A solar panel 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the support column 18. A solar panel heating wire 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the solar panel 19. The solar panel 19 can generate electricity for the equipment, and the solar panel heating wire 20 can ensure that there is no snow accumulation on the solar panel 19, thus ensuring the normal operation of the solar panel 19.

This ensures the stability of the internal temperature of the equipment, allows the equipment to operate normally, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0050] Reference Figure 1-5 The main battery 27 and the auxiliary battery 28 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the equipment placement compartment 25. They provide power to the power unit, heating unit, and communication unit of the equipment.

[0051] Reference Figure 1-5 A current distributor 29 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the equipment placement compartment 25, and a communicator 30 is fixedly connected to the top of the current distributor 29. The communicator 30 and the current distributor 29 are kept in normal operation.

[0053] Reference Figure 1-5 A sensor assembly 24 is fixedly connected to the front interior of the unmanned surface vessel 1. It can sense the status of the equipment.

[0054] The implementation principle of an embodiment of an unmanned surface vessel energy dispatching device suitable for polar low-temperature environments in this application is as follows:

[0055] During operation, solar power is prioritized. The heating wire 26 in the placement compartment generates heat to maintain the temperature inside the boat, power the equipment, and facilitate the operation of communication devices. When the equipment is in darkness, it is powered by the main battery 27. The auxiliary battery 28 replenishes the main battery 27, generates heat from the heating wire 26, and powers the communication devices until the auxiliary battery 28 has one-quarter of its charge remaining. At this point, it stops replenishing the main battery 27 and dedicates the power to heating the equipment and powering the communication device 30. When the equipment is running, the wind will drive the fan 14 to generate electricity, which will charge the main battery 27 to ensure continuous operation. When the main battery 27 has less than one-tenth of its charge and the auxiliary battery 28 is not replenishing its charge, the equipment will activate cylinder 7 to pull the power rod 6 upward. By rotating the connecting rod 5, the protrusion 8 and the connecting block 4 will be rotated to lower the slide rail 3. The camera 22 will then be used to monitor the operation. Finally, cylinder 15 will be retracted to stop the equipment on the ice surface to prevent it from freezing. When the main battery 27 is depleted, the device stops operating. The remaining power in the auxiliary battery 28 sustains the device's heating and communication functions, ensuring the device's lifespan and communication connectivity.

[0056] In summary, this invention prioritizes solar power during equipment operation. Heating wires in the storage compartment maintain the internal temperature, power the equipment, and facilitate communication. When the equipment is in darkness, it is powered by the main battery, while the auxiliary battery replenishes the main battery, powers the heating wires in the storage compartment, and operates the communication devices. Power replenishment stops when the auxiliary battery has a quarter charge remaining, dedicating power solely to heating the equipment and operating the communication devices. During operation, wind power drives a fan to generate electricity, charging the main battery and ensuring continuous operation.

[0057] When the main battery's charge drops below one-tenth and the auxiliary battery is not being recharged, the device will activate cylinder one to pull the power rod upwards. This, in turn, rotates the connecting rod, the protrusion, and the connecting block to lower the slide rail. The camera monitors the movement, and then cylinder two retracts to stop the device on the ice, preventing it from freezing. When the main battery is completely depleted, the device stops operating. The remaining power in the auxiliary battery sustains the device's heating and communication functions, ensuring the device's lifespan and maintaining communication connectivity.
