Deployment device for containerized dwelling platforms used in deep sea
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411606989.0, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on November 12, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the field of deployment device technology, such as a deployment device for a box-type stationary platform used in the deep sea. Background Technology
[0003] With the rapid development of modern deep-sea technology and unmanned, intelligent technologies, the field of deep-sea exploration and technology application is undergoing unprecedented changes. As a crucial component of this field, the deployment and recovery technology of deep-sea containerized platforms has become a research hotspot and a challenge. Through automated deep-sea containerized platforms, various systems such as unmanned underwater vehicles, drones, and detection instruments can be precisely deployed on the seabed. These platforms can remain in fixed positions on the seabed for extended periods and release operational equipment to perform exploration or monitoring tasks when needed.
[0004] In deep-sea exploration operations, the deployment and recovery of deep-sea containerized platforms are crucial. However, traditional deployment methods, such as simple hoisting or sliding methods, have gradually revealed numerous problems when facing the complex and ever-changing marine environment and deep-sea operations. These problems include insufficient positioning accuracy, poor stability, complex operation, poor adaptability, high maintenance costs, and a lack of integrated control. These issues not only affect the efficiency and safety of deep-sea exploration operations but also limit the application scope and development potential of deep-sea technology.
[0005] For example, traditional underwater equipment deployment and retrieval systems using rotating gantry cranes and cranes are inadequate for handling large and heavy equipment such as deep-sea containerized platforms. Rotating gantry cranes, due to geometric limitations, cannot meet the outboard reach requirements; while crane-based deployment is easily affected by the sea surface environment, potentially causing damage or safety hazards to the containerized platform. Furthermore, the inability to simultaneously tow hook multiple lifting points in a marine environment increases the complexity and risk of the operation.
[0006] Although some related patents have attempted to solve these problems, such as the Chinese patent application CN214451761U which discloses a slide-type deployment and recovery device for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), although it has the principles of translation, flipping, and telescopic movement, its structural form is mainly designed for circular AUVs and cannot be directly applied to box-type dwelling platforms. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This application provides a containerized dwelling platform deployment device for deep-sea applications, which achieves precise control of the containerized dwelling platform through a precisely designed translation and tilting mechanism.

A second hinge hole is provided on the flipping body near the side connected to the translation mechanism, and is tightly connected to the hinge hole at the corresponding position of the translation mechanism to form a flipping fulcrum. The width limiting block is configured to restrict the movement of the box-type stationary platform along its own width direction, and the length limiting block is configured to restrict the movement of the box-type stationary platform along its own length direction.
[0021] In some embodiments, the flipping mechanism further includes a limiting pin and a nylon slider; the limiting pin is installed inside the flipping body and is configured to release the restriction on the box-type dwelling platform by moving the limiting pin downward when it is necessary to release the box-type dwelling platform for flipping; the nylon slider is installed on the flipping body and is configured to reduce the frictional resistance during the flipping process.
[0022] In some embodiments, the stop component includes a stop pin, which is installed at the front end of the translation body of the translation mechanism.

[0034] The specific embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] As shown in Figures 1-5, this embodiment discloses a deployment device for a box-type stationary platform used in the deep sea. The deployment device includes a guide rail device 1, a translation mechanism 2, a flipping mechanism 3, a stop device 4, an anti-tipping device 5, and a drive assembly.
[0036] As shown in Figure 2, the guide rail device 1 in this embodiment serves as the basic support structure for the entire deployment device. It consists of two guide rails 12 arranged parallel to each other along the length of the ship and two guide rail retainers 11. Each guide rail 12 is securely mounted on its corresponding guide rail retainer 11 with fasteners, while the bottom of the guide rail retainer 11 is reliably connected to the ship's deck, ensuring the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire guide rail device 1.
[0037] The drive assembly in this embodiment includes a translation drive 6, a roll drive 7, and a power system 8.
[0038] In other embodiments, the design of the guide rail 12 also fully considers the weight and movement requirements of the deep-sea box-type stationary platform 10, and is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to ensure that it will not deform or be damaged during long-term use. At the same time, the surface of the guide rail 12 is specially treated to reduce the coefficient of friction between it and the roller device 22, so that the translation mechanism 2 can roll more smoothly along the guide rail 12, improving deployment efficiency.
[0039] The arrangement of the guide rail device 1 in this embodiment not only facilitates the linear movement of the translation mechanism 2, but also provides necessary support for the flipping movement of the flipping mechanism 3. In addition, the structural design of the guide rail device 1 also takes into account the need for easy maintenance and replacement, so that the guide rail 12 can be quickly disassembled and reinstalled when necessary, reducing maintenance costs and time.
[0040] Meanwhile, the precise installation and debugging of the guide rail device 1 is crucial for the stable operation of the entire deployment device. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the parallelism and levelness of the guide rail 12 meet the design requirements to avoid problems such as sluggish movement of the translation mechanism 2 or unstable flipping of the flipping mechanism 3 due to installation errors.
[0041] As shown in Figure 3, the translation mechanism 2 in this embodiment is a key component for achieving linear movement of the box-type stationary platform 10 in the entire deployment device. The translation mechanism 2 is positioned directly above the guide rail device 1, and is in close contact with the guide rail 12 via the roller device 22, allowing it to roll freely on the guide rail 12. The design of the translation mechanism 2 fully considers the weight and speed requirements of the deep-sea box-type stationary platform 10, and is made of high-strength, wear-resistant materials to ensure that it will not deform or be damaged during long-term use.
[0042] The translation mechanism 2 has two sets of hinge holes at its first end (end A in Figure 3) and its middle section. The hinge hole at the first end of the translation mechanism 2 is configured to connect with the second hinge hole 37 at the corresponding position of the flipping mechanism 3, thereby realizing the relative flipping motion between the flipping mechanism 3 and the translation mechanism 2. The hinge hole in the middle section of the translation mechanism 2 is configured to connect with one end of the cylinder barrel 71 of the flipping drive 7, and the flipping mechanism 3 is driven to flip by the telescopic motion of the flipping drive 7. The second end of the translation mechanism 2 (end B in Figure 3) also has two sets of hinge holes, configured to connect with the piston rod end 61 of the cylinder of the translation drive 6, and the linear motion of the translation mechanism 2 is driven by the telescopic motion of the translation drive 6.
[0043] The translation body 21, as the main structure of the translation mechanism 2, is made of robust and durable materials, capable of withstanding the weight of the deep-sea box-type stationary platform 10 and the impact forces during movement. Meanwhile, multiple first hinge holes 25 for connecting roller devices 22 are arranged along the length of both sides of the translation body 21. These first hinge holes 25 connect to the roller devices 22, allowing each roller device 22 to rotate freely around its corresponding first hinge hole 25, thus improving the flexibility and stability of the translation mechanism 2.
[0044] This embodiment also includes stop pins 23, which are installed on both sides of the front end of the translation body 21. The stop pins 23 are driven to move vertically and are configured to contact the stop device 4 when the translation mechanism 2 moves to the working position, thereby restricting the backward movement of the translation mechanism 2. The flipping blocks 24 are installed on both sides of the end of the translation body 21 and are configured to insert into the anti-tipping device 5 when the translation mechanism 2 moves to the working position to prevent the translation mechanism 2 from flipping over.
[0045] In some embodiments, the deployment device further includes a control system 9 and a sensor module. The sensor module is configured to monitor the position, speed, and acceleration parameters of the translation mechanism 2 and the flipping mechanism 3 in real time. The control system 9 is configured to adjust the translation drive 6 and the flipping drive 7 in real time according to the parameters monitored by the sensor module, so as to ensure that the translation mechanism 2 and the flipping mechanism 3 can move according to their respective preset trajectories and speeds.
[0046] In this embodiment, the sensor module can be arranged at key locations of the device according to monitoring needs, such as the contact point between the translation mechanism 2 and the guide rail 12, the flipping fulcrum of the flipping mechanism 3, and the drive component. It includes sensors of types such as displacement, angle, and pressure, used to collect parameters such as position, speed, and acceleration of translation and flipping. The installation position is based on the principle of not interfering with the action and accurately collecting data. Some sensors need to adapt to the waterproof and corrosion-resistant requirements of the deep-sea environment.
[0047] In other embodiments, the motion control of the translation mechanism 2 is a crucial component of the entire deployment device. To ensure that the translation mechanism 2 can move linearly along a predetermined trajectory and speed, an advanced control system 9 and sensor technology are required to monitor parameters such as the position, velocity, and acceleration of the translation mechanism 2 in real time. Simultaneously, the influence of the sea surface environment on the motion of the translation mechanism 2 must be considered; natural factors such as waves and wind may cause the translation mechanism 2 to sway or deviate. Therefore, the design of the control system 9 must fully consider the influence of these factors and take corresponding measures to reduce or eliminate these disturbances.
[0048] As shown in Figure 4, the flipping mechanism 3 in this embodiment is a key component for realizing the flipping movement of the box-type stationary platform 10 in the entire deployment device. Its design is ingenious and its function is powerful. The second hinge hole 37 on the flipping mechanism 3, located near the side connected to the translation mechanism 2, is tightly connected to the corresponding hinge hole on the translation mechanism 2, forming a stable flipping fulcrum. After the translation mechanism 2 transports the box-type stationary platform 10 to the designated position, the flipping mechanism 3 begins to play its crucial role.
[0049] The main structure of the tilting mechanism 3, namely the tilting body 31, is made of high-strength, lightweight materials, which ensures sufficient load-bearing capacity while reducing the overall weight, making it easy to operate and transport. Width limiting blocks 34 are designed on both sides of the tilting body 31 along its length. When the box-type platform 10 is placed on the tilting mechanism 3, the width limiting blocks 34 effectively restrict the movement of the box-type platform 10 along its width direction, ensuring the stability of the box-type platform 10 during the tilting process.
[0050] At the end of the tilting body 31, another set of length limiting blocks 35 is designed. This set of length limiting blocks 35 cooperates with the limiting pins 32 installed inside the tilting body 31 to restrict the movement of the box-type dwelling platform 10 along its own length direction. The limiting pins 32 can move along the height direction of the tilting body 31. When it is necessary to release the box-type dwelling platform 10 for tilting, the limiting pins 32 will move downward to release the restriction on the box-type dwelling platform 10, allowing the box-type dwelling platform 10 to freely tilt on the tilting mechanism 3.
[0051] The flipping action of the flipping mechanism 3 is achieved by the flipping drive 7. The first end of the flipping drive 7 is connected to the hinge hole located in the middle of the translation mechanism 2, and the second end of the flipping drive 7 is connected to the hinge point 36 of the flipping mechanism 3. When the power system 8 provides power to the flipping drive 7, the piston rod of the cylinder of the flipping drive 7 will extend or retract, thereby pushing the flipping mechanism 3 to flip around the hinge point 36. This design allows the flipping mechanism 3 to complete the flipping action smoothly and accurately, flipping the box-type dwelling platform 10 from a horizontal position to a vertical position, or flipping it at other angles between 0° and 90°.
[0052] During the flipping process of the flipping mechanism 3, the nylon sliders 33 play a crucial role. These nylon sliders 33 are cleverly mounted on the flipping body 31, forming sliding contact with the guide rail device 1 or other support structures. When the flipping mechanism 3 flips, the nylon sliders 33 can reduce the frictional resistance during the flipping process, reduce energy consumption and noise, and at the same time protect the flipping mechanism 3 and the support structure from wear and damage.
[0053] The design of the tilting mechanism 3 also fully considers safety and reliability. During the tilting process, each component of the tilting mechanism 3 undergoes rigorous strength and stability tests to ensure that it can withstand the weight of the box-type dwelling platform 10 and various forces during the tilting process. At the same time, the tilting mechanism 3 is also equipped with a variety of safety devices and monitoring systems, such as limit switches and pressure sensors, to monitor various parameters and states during the tilting process in real time, ensuring the safety and reliability of the tilting action.
[0054] In summary, the tilting mechanism 3 is an indispensable key component of the entire deployment device. With its unique design, powerful functions, and superior performance, the tilting mechanism 3 provides strong support for the deployment of the deep-sea box-type stationing platform 10. Through the tilting motion of the tilting mechanism 3, the box-type stationing platform 10 can be smoothly and accurately tilted from the hull into the seawater to complete its deep-sea stationing mission.
[0055] As shown in Figures 5A-5D, the working process of the box-type stationary platform deployment device applied to the deep sea in this embodiment is as follows:
[0056] As shown in Figure 5A, the deployment device is in the storage position. The box-type dwelling platform 10 is placed on the flipping mechanism 3. Width limiting blocks 34 are provided on both sides of the flipping body 31 along its own length direction to restrict the movement of the box platform along its own width direction. A length limiting block 35 is provided at the end of the flipping body 31, which cooperates with the limiting pin 32 to restrict the movement of the box platform along its own length direction.
[0057] As shown in Figure 5B, the power system 8 provides power to the translation drive 6. The piston rod end 61 of the cylinder of the translation drive 6 extends, pushing the translation mechanism 2 forward along the guide rail device 1. The box-type dwelling platform 10 is transferred to the deployment position. The tilting block 24 of the translation mechanism 2 is inserted into the anti-tipping device 5, which prevents the translation mechanism 2 from tilting and overturning. The tilting block 24 abuts against the anti-tipping device 5, restricting the translation mechanism 2 from moving forward along the guide rail device 1. The stop pin 23 of the translation mechanism 2 extends downward, and the stop device 4 restricts the translation mechanism 2 from moving backward along the guide rail device 1.
[0058] As shown in Figure 5C, the limiting pin 32 is installed inside the tilting body 31. When the limiting pin 32 moves downward, it releases the restriction on the forward movement of the box-type dwelling platform 10. The power system 8 provides power to the tilting drive 7. The cylinder end 71 of the tilting drive 7 extends, pushing the tilting mechanism 3 to tilt around the tilting fulcrum.
[0059] As shown in Figure 5D, the box-type dwelling platform 10 slides down the nylon slider 33 on the flipping body 31 to complete the deployment operation.
[0060] To address the specific needs and technological shortcomings of deep-sea containerized landing platforms, this application provides a deployment device for such platforms in the deep sea. This device features a compact and rational structure, and is easy to operate. Through a precisely designed translation mechanism 2 and a tilting mechanism 3, it achieves accurate control of the containerized landing platform 10. The translation mechanism 2, made of high-strength materials, works in close cooperation with the guide rail 12 via a roller device 22, ensuring the stability of the containerized landing platform 10 during linear movement. The tilting mechanism 3, through a flexible hinge design and advanced tilting drive technology, can smoothly tilt the containerized landing platform 10 from a horizontal to a vertical position, providing strong support for its successful deployment into the water. Furthermore, the deployment device is equipped with an advanced control system 9 and sensor technology, enabling real-time monitoring and precise control of various parameters during translation and tilting. This precise control not only improves the success rate of deployment operations but also ensures the safety and stability of the containerized landing platform 10 during deployment.
[0061] In addition, the containerized deployment device for deep-sea use described in this application also has the following characteristics:
[0062] 1.

The translation mechanism, through a roller system in close contact with the guide rail, can roll freely on the rail and is also made of high-strength, wear-resistant materials, capable of withstanding the weight of the deep-sea box-type landing platform and the impact forces during movement. The tilting mechanism uses lightweight, high-strength materials, ensuring sufficient load-bearing capacity while reducing overall weight, facilitating operation and transportation. This stable and high-load-bearing structural design provides a solid foundation for the deployment of the deep-sea box-type landing platform.
[0063] 2. Flexible operation and high deployment efficiency: The deployment device's structural design fully considers both operational flexibility and deployment efficiency. Two sets of hinge holes are located at one end and in the middle of the translation mechanism, connecting to the tilting and translation drives through these holes, enabling precise control of the tilting and translation movements. Simultaneously, the roller device on the translation mechanism reduces the coefficient of friction with the guide rails, allowing the mechanism to roll more smoothly along the rails and improving deployment efficiency. Furthermore, the nylon slider on the tilting mechanism also reduces frictional resistance, lowering energy consumption and noise. This flexible and efficient operation method makes the deployment process of the deep-sea box-type stationary platform smoother and faster.
[0064] 3. Safe and reliable with a comprehensive protection mechanism, this deployment device also boasts significant advantages in safety. Firstly, the guide rail device, translation mechanism, and tilting mechanism have all undergone rigorous strength and stability testing, ensuring they can withstand the weight of the box-type landing platform and various forces during the tilting process. Secondly, the device is equipped with multiple safety devices and monitoring systems, such as limit switches and pressure sensors, which can monitor various parameters and states during the tilting process in real time, ensuring the safety and reliability of the tilting action. Furthermore, the stop pins and tilting blocks on the translation mechanism also prevent the translation mechanism from tilting and overturning. This safe, reliable, and comprehensively protected structural design provides strong protection for the deployment of deep-sea box-type landing platforms.
[0065] 4. Easy maintenance and reduced operating costs: The deployment device's structural design fully considers ease of maintenance and replacement. The guide rail system's design allows for quick disassembly and reinstallation when necessary, reducing maintenance costs and time. Simultaneously, the translation and tilting mechanisms facilitate inspection and maintenance, minimizing downtime due to equipment failure. Furthermore, all components are designed for easy replacement and maintenance, further reducing operating costs. This easy-to-maintain and low-operating-cost structural design makes the deployment device for deep-sea box-type landing platforms more practical and economical.
