Underwater active docking robot and docking method

Abstract

The invention discloses an underwater active docking robot and a docking method. The underwater active docking robot comprises a docking robot body, an observation module, an umbilical cable and a docking interface module, the docking robot body is connected with a mother ship through an umbilical cable, and the observation module is detachably connected to the docking robot body. The docking interface modules are respectively arranged at the bottom of the docking robot body and the back of the AUV and are used for realizing docking and communication between the bottom of the docking robot body and the AUV; the docking robot body adjusts the posture of the docking robot body according to the posture, observed by the observation module, of the docking interface module, and the docking robot body is docked with the docking interface module on the AUV side. The system can be in butt joint with the AUV, wireless charging and data communication functions are achieved, and the AUV can be effectively rescued or recycled when the AUV breaks down.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of marine engineering in deep and open seas, in particular to an underwater active docking robot and a docking method. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development and progress of society, the contradiction between "population, environment and resources" has become increasingly fierce, and human beings have turned their attention to the ocean, which occupies 3 / 4 of the earth's area, for survival and development. In recent years, countries all over the world have deepened their research on the ocean, and the research focus has shifted from the shallow sea to the deep sea. Unmanned autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is widely used in offshore oil exploitation, marine rescue and salvage, underwater resource exploration, underwater Under engineering construction and military and other fields. However, the constraints of its limited energy and the inability to communicate with the mother ship ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, its limited energy capacity and the inability to communicate with the mother ship in real time limit the further application of this type of equipment.
