Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control device technology, and in particular to a remote control device for an unmanned vessel. Background Technology

[0002] A remote control device for unmanned vessels is a device that uses wireless communication technology to remotely control and monitor the operational status of unmanned vessels.

[0003] The basic structure of an unmanned surface vessel (USV) remote control device includes a remote control terminal, a communication module, a control system, and a sensor system. In use, the device transmits data with the USV through the communication module to send and receive signals. The control system is responsible for parsing commands and converting them into actions of the vessel, such as heading and speed. At the same time, the sensor system monitors the vessel's status and environmental information in real time and feeds the data back to the remote control terminal, enabling the operator to perform effective control and scheduling.

[0004] Existing unmanned surface vessel (USV) remote control devices do not have a separate camera; the camera is usually mounted on the USV. This approach has several problems: the fixed position of the camera limits the monitoring angle, making it difficult for the operator to fully capture surrounding objects or dynamic changes, thus affecting the accuracy and safety of operation. In addition, fixed cameras cannot be flexibly adjusted, making it difficult to meet the diverse viewing angle requirements of different tasks. More importantly, cameras on USVs are susceptible to interference from the external environment and signals, resulting in a lack of stability in the captured field of view. Therefore, a remote control device for USVs is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a remote control device for unmanned boats, which aims to improve the problem that the existing remote control devices do not have a separate camera, resulting in incomplete image capture and inability to flexibly view the surrounding environment of the unmanned boat.

As a further description of the above technical solution: the battery assembly includes a sliding cover, which is slidably connected to the bottom of the lower housing. A battery compartment is provided at the bottom of the lower housing, and a pair of springs and a pair of electrode plates are installed inside the battery compartment. As a further description of the above technical solution: an indicator light is installed on the top of the upper housing, an emergency button is installed on the top of the upper housing, and LT and RT buttons are installed on both sides of the remote control antenna, respectively; As a further description of the above technical solution: the first remote control stick is rotatably connected to the inside of the upper housing, and the second remote control stick is rotatably connected to the inside of the upper housing; As a further description of the above technical solution: the switch is slidably connected inside the upper housing, and the switch is disposed between the first remote control stick and the second remote control stick; As a further description of the above technical solution: function key one, function key two, function key three and function key four are all installed on the top of the upper outer shell; As a further description of the above technical solution: the two ends of the pair of springs are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the battery compartment and the negative terminal of the battery, and the sliding cover is located at the end of the battery compartment away from the lower outer shell.

[0011] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0012] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a remote control device for an unmanned surface vessel, comprising an upper outer shell 1, a lower outer shell 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper outer shell 1, a remote control antenna 3 and a camera 13 mounted on the front end of the upper outer shell 1, a display screen 4 mounted on the top of the upper outer shell 1, remote control stick 5 and remote control stick 6 respectively mounted on both ends of the display screen 4, functional components 7 being provided on the exterior of both remote control stick 5 and remote control stick 6, a switch 8 mounted on the top of the upper outer shell 1, and a battery assembly 9 located at the bottom of the lower outer shell 2. The battery assembly 9 includes a sliding cover 91 slidably connected to the bottom of the lower outer shell 2, and the bottom of the lower outer shell 2 has an opening... The battery compartment 92 contains a pair of springs 93 and a pair of electrode plates 94. The two ends of the springs 93 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the battery compartment 92 and the negative terminal of the battery, respectively. The sliding cover 91 is located at the end of the battery compartment 92 away from the lower outer casing 2. An indicator light 10 and an emergency button 14 are installed on the top of the upper outer casing 1. The remote control antenna 3 has an LT button 11 and an RT button 12 installed on both sides, respectively. The first remote control stick 5 is rotatably connected to the inside of the upper outer casing 1, and the second remote control stick 6 is rotatably connected to the inside of the upper outer casing 1. The switch 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the upper outer casing 1 and is located between the first remote control stick 5 and the second remote control stick 6.

[0013] Specifically, when using this remote control device to remotely control the unmanned surface vessel (USV), the operator needs to stand in a place with a wide field of vision. First, slide the sliding cover 91 to correctly install the corresponding type of battery in the battery compartment 92. Then, turn on the switch 8. At this time, the camera 13 and the display screen 4 will automatically start. The display screen 4 will display the content of the camera 13 by default. When the operator pushes the remote control lever 5 forward, the USV will accelerate forward. When the operator pushes the remote control lever 5 backward, the USV will accelerate backward. When the operator pushes the remote control lever 6 in any direction, the USV can move at a constant speed in the corresponding direction. When the operator briefly presses the LT button 11, the USV will take a picture through the camera 13. When the operator presses the LT button 11 for a long time, the USV will record video through the camera 13. Pressing it again will end the recording. The operator can record special situations during operation through the photo and video functions. When the operator presses the RT button 12, the display screen 4 can switch between the camera 13, the USV's field of vision, and the USV's information status. The USV's field of vision comes from the monitoring device installed on the USV. The USV's information status mainly includes the USV's speed and the remote control... The distance between devices, the real-time battery or fuel level of the unmanned surface vessel (USV), and signal strength are all monitored. When the RT button 12 is held down, the operator can zoom in and out on the camera 13 by pulling the remote control lever 5 up and down. The indicator light 10 shows whether the remote control device has sufficient power. When the indicator light 10 is green, the power is sufficient; when the indicator light 10 is yellow, the power is more than half; and when the indicator light 10 is red and flashing, the power is insufficient. In case of emergency, pressing the emergency button 14 will immediately shut down the USV. By setting up the camera 13 and the display screen 4, the remote control device can capture the overall operating environment of the USV. By using the LT button 11 and the RT button 12, the camera 13 can perform different operations, allowing staff to clearly observe the environment around the USV from a distance. This is beneficial for staff to record special situations in a timely manner and for operators to simultaneously grasp the navigation status of the USV and the details of the surrounding environment in complex waters. It avoids blind spots and misjudgment risks caused by a single perspective, and improves the accuracy and safety of the USV in sampling, inspection, and other operations.

[0014] Reference Figures 1-3 Functional component 7 includes function key 1 71, which is installed at the lower end of remote control stick 1 5. Function key 2 72 is installed on the side of remote control stick 1 5 near switch 8. Function key 3 73 is installed on the side of remote control stick 2 6 near switch 8. Function key 4 74 is installed at the lower end of remote control stick 2 6. Function keys 1 71, 2 72, 3 73 and 4 74 are all installed on the top of the upper housing 1.

[0015] Specifically, when further operation of the unmanned vessel is required using this remote control device, the function component 7 can be used for extended applications. When using function key 1 71, the unmanned vessel can switch between cruise control, standby, and normal operation. When using function key 2 72, the unmanned vessel can continuously accelerate or decelerate. When using function key 3 73, the speed of the unmanned vessel under cruise control can be adjusted. When using function key 4 74, the unmanned vessel can be finely adjusted to the left or right. By performing different operations on the unmanned vessel through different function keys, the functionality of the unmanned vessel remote control device is expanded, the flexibility and operability of the unmanned vessel are improved, and the operation is more convenient for operators.

[0016] Working principle: When using this remote control device to remotely control the unmanned vessel, first slide the cover 91 to correctly install the corresponding type of battery in the battery compartment 92. Then turn on the switch 8. At this time, the camera 13 and the display screen 4 will automatically start. When the operator pushes the remote control stick 1 5 forward, the unmanned vessel will accelerate forward. Pushing the remote control stick 1 5 backward will cause the unmanned vessel to accelerate backward. When the operator pushes the remote control stick 2 6 in any direction, the unmanned vessel will move at a constant speed in the corresponding direction. When the operator briefly presses the LT button 11, the unmanned vessel will take a picture through the camera 13. When the operator presses the LT button 11 for a long time, the unmanned vessel will record video through the camera 13. Pressing the LT button again will trigger the video recording function. Recording can be stopped immediately. When the operator presses the RT button 12, the display screen 4 can switch between the camera 13, the unmanned vessel's field of view, and the unmanned vessel's information status. When the RT button 12 is pressed and held, the operator can zoom in and out of the camera 13's field of view by pulling the remote control lever 5 up and down. The indicator light 10 can be used to show whether the remote control device has sufficient power. When the indicator light 10 is green, it means that the power is sufficient. When the indicator light 10 is yellow, it means that the power is more than half. When the indicator light 10 is red and flashing continuously, it means that the power is insufficient. In case of emergency, pressing the emergency button 14 will immediately cut off the power and stop the unmanned vessel from operating. When using this remote control device, if further operation of the unmanned vessel is required, the function component 7 can be used for extended applications. When using function key 1 71, the unmanned vessel can be switched between cruise control, standby, and normal operation. When using function key 2 72, the unmanned vessel can continuously accelerate or decelerate. When using function key 3 73, the speed of the unmanned vessel under cruise control can be adjusted. When using function key 4 74, the unmanned vessel can be finely adjusted to the left or right.
