Towing/Pushing Equipment TRIZ Cases

A trigger arm and catchment fingers lock into curved grooves to secure underwater attachments without hydraulic or electric actuators.

A low-stiffness intermediate cable and separate winching simplify launch and recovery of towed submarine arrays while reducing handling risks.

Limited AUV autonomy is addressed by an articulated arm that positions an in-water connector for recharging without bulky launch and retrieval systems.

Using extremely low frequency continuous waves, this case shows how saltwater radar detects and geolocates ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Dual winches and an articulated arm separate haul-cable and receiving-antenna handling, reducing hazardous deck work during deployment and retrieval.

Buoyancy and damping let a towed recovery vehicle submerge, release, dock, and retrieve an autonomous underwater craft in rough seas.

Hydrodynamic surfaces convert horizontal tow force into downward motion while a weighted nose and modular sensor array support stable, low-entanglement profiling.

Movable ballast shifts along towing members to adjust catenary, maintain seabed distance, and protect trawl integrity during slower towing.

Dedicated storage containers and pliable caps manage the line, reducing entanglement with thrusters and control tethers during submersible lifting.

A Kort nozzle, opposing propellers, and a centered bridle reduce towing drag while improving directional control through water.
