Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments that a person of ordinary skill in the art would obtain without making any inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
The invention provides a semi-submersible type transportation platform which is used for transporting and recycling articles on water. The articles can be common materials, unmanned aerial vehicles, underwater robots, diving equipment and the like. The following description will take an unmanned aerial vehicle as an example. The unmanned plane is used for executing tasks on the sea surface, can directly take off from the land or the sea surface, and can land on the land or the sea surface. The semi-submersible type transport platform provided by the invention can transport the unmanned aerial vehicle from the sea side to the target sea area, and the unmanned aerial vehicle can directly take off from the sea surface of the target sea area. After the task is performed, the unmanned aerial vehicle falls to a designated sea area, and the semi-submersible transport platform retrieves the unmanned aerial vehicle and transports the unmanned aerial vehicle to a target site, such as the shore.
Referring to FIG. 1, semi-submersible transport platform 100 includes buoyancy adjustment device 110, buoyancy pod 20, and lift 40, where buoyancy adjustment device 110 is provided with buoy 10, lift 40 is secured to buoy 10, buoyancy pod 20 is connected to buoy 10, and both may cooperate to provide buoyancy to lift 40. The basic principle of operation of semi-submersible 100 is to achieve heave by changing the amount of buoyancy by inflating the interior of buoy 10 or evacuating air from the interior of buoy 10 to allow water to drain or enter the interior of buoy 10. When sufficient gas is contained within buoy 10, buoy 10 floats to the surface; when sufficient water is contained in buoy 10, buoy 10 is submerged in the water, semi-submersible transport platform 100 may be submerged to buoyancy module 20, which floats on the water surface, where buoyancy module 20 may provide a portion of the buoyancy for the entire platform, facilitating balance of semi-submersible transport platform 100 during the submergence process. By adjusting the amount of buoyancy of buoy 10, the distance of lift 40 of semi-submersible transport platform 100 from the surface, for example, above or below the surface, may be adjusted. When the lifting platform 40 is higher than the water surface, the transportation of the unmanned aerial vehicle is facilitated; when the lifting platform 40 is lower than the water surface, the unmanned aerial vehicle is released or recovered.
Referring to fig. 1-3, buoyancy adjustment device 110 includes buoy 10 and a communication tube, wherein buoy 10 is in fluid communication with communication tube. Buoy 10 is provided with a plurality of deck sections 12, and plurality of deck sections 12 at least partially form a communication deck in communication with each other; that is, buoy 10 may include separate deck sections and a communication deck. The independent cabin sections, i.e. the single cabin section 12, the communicating cabin is formed by at least two cabin sections 12 which are laterally communicating. The number of independent cabins can be one or more, and the number of communicating cabins can be one or more groups. The independent cabin sections are not communicated transversely, and are not communicated with the communication cabins of different groups. Specifically, the plurality of segments 12 may be arranged in any suitable shape, such as in a line, a circle, side-by-side in a plurality of rows, or in any basic pattern (e.g., the segments 12 have a hexagonal cross-section, the segments 12 are arranged in a honeycomb-like structure), etc. A partition 14 is provided between adjacent segments 12. In some embodiments, a portion of the partition 14 is provided with a first water permeable port 142 such that the plurality of segments 12 communicate to form one or more sets of communication pods (e.g., two or three sets of communication pods). In some embodiments, all of the baffles 14 are provided with first water permeable openings 142 such that a plurality of segments 12 communicate to form a set of communicating compartments. Preferably, the first water permeable port 142 is provided in the lower portion of the partition 14 so that more gas can be stored in the tank section 12, thereby providing greater buoyancy.
The communication pod is provided with a bottom water permeable opening, in particular, see fig. 2, the bottom of the communication pod is provided with a second water permeable opening 122, i.e. the bottom of at least part of the pod segments 12 of the communication pod is provided with a second water permeable opening 122, such that each pod segment 12 communicates with at least one second water permeable opening 122. In some embodiments, at least some of the segments 12 of the communication pod share a second water permeable port 122, and thus, some segments 12 are not provided with a second water permeable port 122, i.e., the number of second water permeable ports 122 is less than the number of segments 12. In the preferred embodiment, only one tank section 12 in a single set of communicating tanks is provided with a second water permeable port 122.
The buoyancy adjustment device 110 may be provided with one or more communication tubes through which gas flows into or out of the tank section 12. When a communication pipe is provided, the communication pipe communicates with one of the cabin segments 12. In a preferred embodiment, the buoyancy adjusting device 110 is provided with a number of independent communication pipes, the number of which is identical to the number of the tanks 12, and a number of communication pipes are respectively communicated with each tank 12, so that each tank 12 can independently control the discharge of gas and water. In some embodiments, the communication tube has a passageway that is shared by the inlet and outlet, and the proximal end of the passageway is provided with separate inlet and outlet ports. In other embodiments, the communication tube has separate inlet and outlet passages, e.g., the communication tube includes an inlet tube and an outlet tube.
When buoy 10 is placed in water, second water permeable port 122 is submerged and gas is sealed inside deck section 12, a phenomenon known as water sealing. At this time, gas may be controlled to enter and exit the cabin 12 from the communication tube. When the exhaust operation is performed, the volume of the gas in the cabin 12 is reduced, and water can enter the cabin 12 through the second water permeable port 122 under the action of water pressure, so that the buoyancy of the semi-submersible transport platform 100 is lowered, and sinking is realized. When the inflation operation is performed, the gas enters the cabin section 12 to push the water in the cabin section 12 to flow out of the cabin section 12, so that the water in the communication cabin is extruded from the second water permeable port 122, and then the buoyancy of the semi-submersible transport platform 100 is increased, and the floating is realized.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, buoy 10 includes two sets of communication pods, alternatively buoy 10 may include only one set of communication pods or multiple sets of communication pods. The plurality of pod segments 12 of each set of communicating pods are arranged in series, i.e., in a line. The partition plates 14 are arranged between every two cabin sections 12 of each group of communication cabins, and each partition plate 14 is provided with a first water permeable port 142. Only one second water permeable port 122 is arranged in the single-group communication cabin, and the cabin sections 12 share one second water permeable port 122, so that not only are the water inlet and drainage requirements of all the cabin sections 12 met, but also the situation that the water sealing reliability is reduced due to the fact that too many second water permeable ports 122 are arranged can be avoided.
Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the communication tube includes an intake pipe 32 and an exhaust pipe 36 that are independently provided. The air inlet pipe 32 and the air outlet pipe 36 each have a proximal end and a distal end, and the proximal ends of the air inlet pipe 32 and the air outlet pipe 36 each extend outside the communication compartment. Wherein, the proximal end refers to the end of the air inlet pipe 32 and the air outlet pipe 36 respectively located outside the communication cabin, and the distal end refers to the end of the air inlet pipe 32 and the air outlet pipe 36 respectively located inside the communication cabin. Preferably, the distal end of the exhaust duct 36 is located at the top of the cabin segment 12. Inside the compartment 12, the gas is located in an upper part and the water is located in a lower part, which will facilitate the evacuation of the gas inside the compartment 12. Further, the distal end of the air inlet pipe 32 is located at the bottom of the cabin 12, facilitating the placement of the air inlet pipe 32. When inflated, the gas will float up to the upper portion of the tank section 12 after entering the bottom of the tank section 12.
The buoyancy adjusting device 110 comprises a solenoid valve and an air pump (not shown in the figure), the proximal ends of the air inlet pipe 32 and the air outlet pipe 36 are respectively provided with a solenoid valve, and the solenoid valves can control the on-off of the air inlet pipe 32 and the air outlet pipe 36. The air inlet pipe 32 and the air outlet pipe 36 are provided with independent electromagnetic valves, which is beneficial to the independent control of the discharge of air and water by each cabin section 12. As buoy 10 is vented, buoy 10 may tilt due to uneven weight carried by each segment 12, faster sinking of segments 12 carrying greater weight, and uneven sinking of buoy 10. While each deck 12 of buoy 10 is capable of controlling gas and water emissions separately, this problem can be well addressed by adjusting the buoyancy and exhaust gas rates of each deck 12 based on the load-bearing weight and horizontal attitude.
The proximal end of the air inlet tube 32 is connected to an air pump which provides air to the deck section 12. In some embodiments, for ease of arrangement, multiple air inlet pipes 32 (e.g., air inlet pipes 32 of the same communication pod) are connected to the same air pump.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the inlet duct 32 and the outlet duct 36 of the same communication compartment may enter from the same compartment 12, with portions of the inlet duct 32 and the outlet duct 36 extending through the first water permeable port 142 provided in the partition 14 to the corresponding compartment 12. Alternatively, the air inlet pipe 32 and the air outlet pipe 36 are hoses, which are easy to arrange.
Buoy 10 may include one or more sets of communication tanks. With continued reference to FIG. 2, in some embodiments buoy 10 includes two interconnected tanks arranged in series, i.e., all tanks 12 are arranged in series. Wherein each pontoon has two end deck sections 12, the end deck sections 12 at each end of pontoon 10 being the end deck sections and the remaining deck sections being intermediate deck sections. The first water permeable port 142 is provided in the lower portion of the partition 14, and the two second water permeable ports 122 are respectively provided at the adjacent end portions of the two communicating tanks, i.e., at the middle portion of the buoy 10. Specifically, each communication pod is provided with three pods 12, namely buoy 10 has six pods 12 in total, two of which are end pods and the other four of which are intermediate pods. Preferably, buoy 10 is also provided with fairing hoods 18, fairing hoods 18 being provided on the outside of the end deck section, fairing hoods 18 forming part of the end deck section. Providing fairing 18 reduces drag on buoy 10 as it moves through the water.
In some embodiments, buoy 10 is configured as a closed-ended tube with 5 baffles 14 disposed within the tube. When 5 baffles 14 are each provided with a first water permeable port 142, buoy 10 includes only one set of communication pods; when the intermediate deck 14 is not provided with the first water permeable port 142 and the remaining deck 14 are provided with the first water permeable port 142, the buoy 10 includes two sets of communication tanks.
Semi-submersible transport platform 100 also includes buoyancy tanks 20 and support tubes 50, buoyancy tanks 20 being connected to buoy 10 by support tubes 50. Wherein, when buoy 10 is submerged in water and buoyancy module 20 floats on the water surface, buoyancy module 20 may provide partial buoyancy to semi-submersible transport platform 100, causing semi-submersible transport platform 100 to not fully sink and maintain a balanced attitude. Referring specifically to fig. 1 and 2, buoyancy chamber 20 is positioned above buoy 10, the upper end of support tube 50 extends into buoyancy chamber 20, and the lower end of support tube 50 communicates with one of segments 12 of buoy 10. The support tube 50 is a sealed tube body, such as the upper end of the support tube 50 is sealed, such that the tank section 12 connected to the support tube 50 remains sealed. The length of the support tube 50 may be determined based on the depth requirements of the submergence of the semi-submersible transport platform 100.
The interior of the buoyancy chamber 20 is in communication with the atmosphere. In some embodiments, the buoyancy chamber 20 is provided with air vents to atmosphere, solenoid valves and air pumps are located within the buoyancy chamber 20, and the air inlet tube 32 and the air outlet tube 36 extend through the support tube 50 into the buoyancy chamber 20. Optionally, air holes are provided at the top of the buoyancy chamber 20 to facilitate avoiding water ingress.
Specifically, semi-submersible 100 is provided with two pontoons 10, with two pontoons 10 symmetrically disposed on either side of lift table 40, each pontoon 10 having two end deck segments, i.e., two pontoons 10 having four end deck segments. The buoyancy chamber 20 and the support tubes 50 are provided with four each, the four support tubes 50 being connected to four end sections, respectively, i.e. each support tube 50 is connected to each end section, respectively. Three sets of air inlet and outlet pipes 32, 36 extend through the support tube 50 into each end compartment. Each buoyancy module 20 has an air pump and six solenoid valves positioned therein, the air pump providing air to the module section 12 to which it is connected.
More specifically, the support tube 50 is provided at its upper end with a tee, the side branches of which form a sealed inlet port 52 and the top branches form a sealed outlet port 54. Wherein the air inlet tube 32 extends through the air inlet 52 into the buoyancy chamber 20 and the air outlet tube 36 extends through the air outlet 54 into the buoyancy chamber 20.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, buoy 10 is provided with buoy clamp 16, and two sides of lift 40 are provided with beam structures by which lift 40 is connected to buoy clamp 16. In some embodiments, the beam structure of lift 40 includes a main beam structure 42, with main beam structure 42 being adjacent to the end of buoy 10, and main beam structure 42 being connected to buoy clamp 16 by an L-shaped pipe clamp 46. Optionally, the beam structure of lift 40 also includes a lateral support beam structure 44, with lateral support beam structure 44 being located between two main beam structures 42, i.e., near the middle of buoy 10.
In some embodiments, 1 set of energy supply equipment is also provided in each buoyancy chamber 20 for providing power to electrical equipment within the buoyancy chamber 20, such as air pumps, battery valves, and the like. The semi-submersible transport platform 100 is further provided with 1 set of buoyancy control system and 3 sets of WiFi communication auxiliary control systems, which are respectively arranged in the 4 buoyancy tanks 20. The buoyancy control system mainly judges the gesture of the platform and controls the on-off of 24 electromagnetic valves and 4 air pumps. The 3 sets of WiFi communication auxiliary control systems mainly receive and execute instructions from the buoyancy control system and control the operation of the switch and the air pump of the electromagnetic valve in the buoyancy cabin 20. Through each air pump of control and solenoid valve, 12 cabin sections 12 of two buoys 10 mutually support, can keep semi-submerged transport platform 100 and unmanned aerial vehicle's steady when sinking and come-up, guarantee that the horizontal gesture still can be controlled in the entering aquatic, can guarantee steady support unmanned aerial vehicle.
In some embodiments, semi-submersible transport platform 100 is provided with propellers 62, and propellers 62 may provide propulsion power for semi-submersible transport platform 100 in water. Specifically, semi-submersible transport platform 100 is provided with 4 propellers 62, with propellers 62 fixedly connected to the lower portion of buoy 10.

The semi-submersible transport platform 100 provided by the present disclosure employs an open water seal, which allows free control of gas ingress and egress within buoy 10, utilizing the water tightness. During the submergence of the semi-submersible transport platform 100, the buoyancy module 20 may provide a portion of the buoyancy for the semi-submersible transport platform 100, so that the semi-submersible transport platform 100 is stably submerged, and a balanced posture is maintained. When semi-submersible transport platform 100 is positioned in water, water does not enter buoyancy module 20, and air pump can provide air for buoy 10, so that semi-submersible transport platform 100 does not need to carry any air source, and can efficiently and rapidly discharge air at any time. The venting of gas from buoy 10 into buoyancy module 20 prevents the gas from affecting the platform under water. Buoy 10 having a plurality of segments 12 provides for smooth submergence without the aid of additional power by closely relying on proper arrangement of the gas discharge sequences within each segment 12.
The foregoing is merely a few embodiments of the present disclosure, and those skilled in the art, based on the disclosure herein, may make various changes or modifications to the disclosed embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure.
