The invention belongs to the field of
underwater robots, and specifically relates to an
underwater robot recovery system and a
recovery method thereof. The
system includes a mother ship, an
underwater robot, an automatic line throwing device and a lifting seat arranged on the
underwater robot, a butting lifting device and a draw gear. After the
underwater robot completes the mission, a
haulage rope is thrown out from the ship bow. The staff on the mother ship picks up the
haulage rope through a
rope picking device, and then the rope is traversed through the draw gear. The
underwater robot is driven by the mother ship for navigation to overcome the effects of
waves in the sea. A guidance rope is thrown by a
remote control command. The butting lifting device is driven by a hoist installed on the mother ship, and falls down along the guidance rope to abut with the underwater
robot and clamp. The whole recycling process is realized. The underwater robot
recovery system of the present invention has the characteristics of compact structure, convenient operation, safety and reliability, small influence by the
sea state, no transform to the hoist, and small requirement to the mother ship, and can achieve the laying and recovering by the same system for the underwater robot under four grade sea conditions.
