Unmanned ship-based net cage inspection device and method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned ship-based net cage inspection device and a method thereof. The unmanned ship-based net cage inspection device comprises an unmanned ship and a net cage management device; the unmanned ship comprises a main controller, a communication radio station, monitoring equipment and driving equipment; the main controller is arranged in a cabin in the unmanned ship and is coupled with the communication ratio station, the monitoring equipment and the driving equipment separately; the net cage management device comprises a detection device and a signal receiver; the detection device is used for monitoring the net cage in real time; the signal receiver is in communication connection with the detection device and is used for receiving monitoring information transmitted by a signal transmitter in the detection device; the signal receiver is in communication connection with the main controller. The unmanned ship-based net cage inspection device is high in safety, simple to operate, convenience to mount, low in maintenance cost, good in inspection effect and clear in inspection thinking, realizes supervisory of the cultivation net cage, and minimizes the risk of damage to staff and equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic control of water area robots, in particular to an unmanned ship-based net cage inspection device and method thereof. technical background [0002] An unmanned ship is a fully automatic surface robot that can navigate on the water surface according to preset tasks and operate autonomously with the help of precise satellite positioning and control systems. With the development of national defense and civilian needs, more and more unmanned ships are operating and undertaking tasks in waters such as national defense sea areas, offshore aquaculture, and inland river environmental protection. In order to realize uninterrupted inspection of offshore or deep-sea aquaculture cages, it is necessary to introduce an unmanned ship system for auxiliary monitoring operations. [0003] The report "Visiting Sea Farmers Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Hot" pointed out that the use of cages to raise high economic value seaf...

In bad weather, driving a manned ship to go out to sea for inspection will have a greater risk of causing casualties and damage to the ship

On November 4, 2015, Mr. Jiang, a farmer, was on his way to the cage breeding base accompanied by grade 3 wind and waves. The boat he was on was almost overturned by the big waves. When he arrived at the destination, he had poor sightlines and an unstable platform, so he could not complete the normal patrol. According to his introduction, once bad weather causes losses, the boat capsizes and people die, and the net cages do not know where to go, and eventually damages millions of funds.
