Traditional floating support platforms generally suffer from bottlenecks such as limited functionality, fixed size, bulkiness, inflexibility, and weak adaptability, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the comprehensive support requirements of heterogeneous unmanned systems, including unmanned vessel energy replenishment, UAV communication relay, underwater robot data transmission, and unmanned equipment task module replacement. Most existing platforms lack scalability and mobile deployment capabilities, have rigid structural designs, and are difficult to assemble quickly and adapt to changes. Furthermore, they are vulnerable to impacts and have poor resilience in harsh marine environments, severely affecting the continuity of support missions and system reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, multiple unmanned support platforms are included. Each unmanned support platform has a multi-layered hexagonal support platform functional structure, comprising a support layer 2, a bladder layer 3, a comprehensive support module, and a collaborative control module. The bladder layer 3 includes an airbag layer 6 and a ballast water bladder layer 7. The airbag layer 6 includes three foldable airbags, and the ballast water bladder layer 7 includes three ballast water bladders. The multi-layered hexagonal single-unit platform is a coaxial, detachable, foldable structure consisting of a support main layer, an airbag layer, and a ballast water bladder layer. The layers are connected by Velcro and metal snap fasteners. The compressed thickness is ≤0.2m, and the fully unfolded thickness is 0.6m, facilitating transportation and carrying. The support layer 2 is the upper layer, using a lightweight carbon fiber frame covered with waterproof Oxford cloth 9. It is connected by a retractable structure for easy folding, forming a hexagonal bearing surface. The comprehensive support module is arranged internally via modular guide rails. The sides of the support layer 2 are provided with splicing interface slots 10. The airbag layer 6 is the middle layer, consisting of three layers surrounding the lower edge of the protective layer 2. It comprises three independent foldable airbag units made of TPU elastic material. When deflated, it is stored in the annular groove below the main protective layer. When inflated, it provides buoyancy through air pressure. The ballast water bladder layer 7 is the lower three layers, located below the airbag layer 6. It is a regular hexagonal annular water bladder formed by PVC mesh fabric. The ballast water bladder has seawater inlet / outlet. When deflated, it is folded and attached to the lower part of the airbag layer 6. When inflated, it provides ballast through its weight. The splicing interface groove 10 is adapted to the side of the protective layer 2, achieving "one-layer alignment, multi-layer synchronization" during splicing, allowing for the connection of multiple units without additional tools. The ballast water bladder layer 7 is equipped with an electromagnetic water inlet valve, a drain pump, and a liquid level sensor for rapid inflation and deflation. The airbags include an inflation pump, an exhaust valve, and a pressure sensor for controlling the inflation / deflation of the airbags.

The collaborative control module is electrically connected to the ballast water bladder, air bladder, and integrated support module, and is used to control the buoyancy and functional scheduling of individual units or the assembled cluster.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the multi-layered regular hexagonal single platform has a compressed volume of half that of the assembled platform, allowing a single person to assemble or disassemble multiple layers. The quick-release straps have a Velcro width ≥ 5cm and metal buckles with a load-bearing capacity ≥ 50kg, ensuring a stable connection. The frame of the protective layer 2 is made of carbon fiber or aluminum alloy, aiming to make the overall structure lightweight and durable. The hexagonal shape has a side-to-side distance of 1.5-2.5m, a side length of 0.866-1.443m, and a height of 0.3-0.8m. The surface has an IP67 waterproof coating. A snap-on removable cover is provided at the top, and the frame walls have a foldable structure, ensuring platform safety and reliability while reducing weight. Each airbag unit in the airbag layer 6 is a bag-shaped structure. When uninflated, the folded thickness is ≤ 5cm. When inflated, it forms a regular hexagonal bladder. A single airbag has a buoyancy of 250-350N and is equipped with a miniature electric air pump and a manual exhaust valve. The miniature electric air pump has an air pressure of 0.5MPa and a flow rate of 10L / min. Ballast water bladder layer 7 includes one filling chamber, which is equipped with a miniature electromagnetic inlet valve, a miniature drain pump, and a flexible liquid level sensing strip. When filled with water, the chamber volume can reach 1m³. 3 The response time of the miniature electromagnetic water inlet valve is ≤0.5 seconds, the flow rate of the miniature drainage pump is 8-12L / min, and the measurement accuracy of the flexible liquid level sensing strip is ±0.5%. The collaborative control unit integrates a PLC controller, a sea state sensor, and a Beidou / GPS module. The sea state sensor can measure wind speed and wave height, and preset sea state thresholds. When the threshold is reached, the ballast water bladder is inflated and the air bladder is deflated to sink the platform. After the sea state recovers, the ballast water bladder is deflated and the air bladder is inflated to float the platform. The splicing interface slot 10 is a mechanical flexible connection to prevent excessive stress on one side after splicing multiple platforms. The waterproof rating after splicing reaches IP68. The charging module of the comprehensive support module is equipped with a 24-48V waterproof energy storage battery, and integrates a fast charging interface and a wireless charging area; the material supply module includes a sealed storage box that automatically pops out via an electric push rod; the communication relay module is equipped with a Beidou / 4G dual-mode communication unit. The lower end of the telescopic frame 5 is connected to the mooring anchor chain 8, and the entire platform is fixed in the sea by the mooring system.

[0018] Example 1 like Figures 1-3As shown, a ballast-airbag composite unmanned support platform includes an unmanned support platform. A wireless charging landing pad 1 for drones is installed on the top of the unmanned support platform. A splicing interface slot 10 is provided on the side of the unmanned support platform to facilitate the assembly and expansion of multiple single platforms. A support interface 11 is provided on the side of the unmanned support platform to provide unmanned equipment with energy supply, communication relay, data backhaul, and equipment task module replacement. Three independent airbags are installed under the main functional structure of the support platform. The airbags can be compressed during transportation and inflated and deflated by air pumps. Three ballast water bladders are installed under the airbags. The ballast water bladders are filled and deflated by water pumps. The airbags and ballast water bladders are surrounded by a telescopic frame 5, which makes them easier to deploy. The lower surface of the telescopic frame 5 is connected to the mooring anchor chain 8 for rapid deployment when needed.

[0019] Example 2 The multi-unit cluster platform for offshore support applications employs a honeycomb-style splicing method, utilizing splicing interface slots 10 on the side of the main support layer to connect the multiple units, ensuring the overall edge distance is aligned. The functional support module includes functions such as providing energy replenishment, communication relay, data backhaul, and equipment task module replacement for unmanned equipment. The collaborative control unit synchronizes the ballast water bladder and airbag control parameters of multiple units via a bus. Sea state response: Simulating a Class 3 sea state, the collaborative control unit triggers a sinking command: the ballast water bladders of three units simultaneously inflate, and the three airbags simultaneously deflate, causing the cluster platform to sink above the seabed. After the sea state returns to normal, the platform deflates, inflates, and rises. The storage box of the supply module automatically pops out, providing energy replenishment, communication relay, data backhaul, and equipment task module replacement for unmanned equipment. The supply and communication functions operate normally.

[0020] Example 3 After disassembly, the three ballast water bladder layers 7 and three air bladder layers 6 are folded sequentially, and then the telescopic frame 5 is folded. The overall compressed volume is approximately half the assembled volume, allowing it to be transported in a standard shipping container without any component damage during transport. Upon arrival at the operational sea area, the compressed unit is deployed and assembled. Depending on the specific mission scenario, a large platform can be expanded into a honeycomb cluster platform via a splicing mechanism. Once deployed, it immediately provides charging, resupply, and communication relay services for various types of unmanned equipment, with each module functioning stably.
