Multi-habitat cross-medium aircraft carrying AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle)

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of navigation equipment, and aims to provide a multi-habitat cross-medium aircraft carrying an AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) in order to solve the technical problem that in the prior art, a cross-medium aircraft is used for laying and recycling the AUV in a blank stage, an aircraft body is arranged to be in a dolphin-imitated configuration, and the abdomen of the aircraft body is arranged to be a load bin; deformable hydrofoils are mounted at the wingtips of the wings of the aircraft through the deformation mechanisms, can serve as hydrofoils to provide lift force and can also form a part of the wings to increase the area of the wings. Therefore, sliding motion transition and autonomous continuous sailing are completed between two different media of water and air, the high-performance requirements of multiple habits, high speed, high seakeeping, high concealment and the like can be met, and the reliability and the success rate of recycling the AUV are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of navigation equipment, and in particular relates to a multi-dwelling trans-medium aircraft carrying an AUV. Background technique [0002] The ocean is rich in marine mineral resources, chemical resources, biological resources and power resources. For our country where resources are scarce, ocean development is of special significance. In the past ten years, the advantages of untethered underwater robots (AUVs) in the fields of petroleum development, landform survey, scientific research, aquaculture, underwater hull maintenance and cleaning, pipeline inspection, water quality monitoring, etc. have gradually emerged, and the market is also rapidly emerging. At the same time, the ocean is the main frontier of our country and the only strategic passage to the world's seas, and it is also a key area for our country to safeguard national security and rights and interests. While using underwater submersibles suc...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] Domestic research on cross-medium aircraft started relatively late, and there are few scientific research institutions conducting research on cross-medium aircraft

In 2011, Nanchang Hangkong University developed a prototype of an oil-electric hybrid diving aircraft. Air propellers and underwater propellers were arranged at the front and rear of the diving aircraft to realize air flight and underwater navigation. The aircraft can glide on the water surface and underwater sailed, but failed to take off from the water

Due to the influence of unfavorable factors such as ocean current disturbance, electromagnetic interference, and docking angle difference, the functions of AUV long-distance transportation and safe and rapid deployment cannot be realized, resulting in the risk of AUV damage and loss during the recovery process.

Therefore, in view of the limitation that the existing trans-medium vehicles can only enter and exit the water once, how to develop a multi-living trans-media vehicle carrying AUV has important practical significance
