Description

Unmanned ship on-board marine kite towed communication system
Technical Field
The invention relates to a drag type communication system of an unmanned ship on-board a marine kite, which is a system capable of lifting equipment to the height of hundreds of meters by dragging a drag umbrella through the unmanned ship and carrying communication relay equipment on the drag umbrella, and belongs to the field of marine communication.
Background
Offshore communication is an important branch in the communication framework, and as global businesses grow, so does the demand for economically viable high-speed offshore communication. Unfortunately, in open sea areas, land communications are not covered, and satellite phones are often used for ship to land contact, but are extremely expensive and are essentially limited to military use. However, satellite communication is too costly to use as a folk vessel, such as ocean fishery, ocean freight, etc. In the open sea area, the communication distance is short, the communication range is small, and the communication between the ship and the outside is seriously influenced by factors such as the large influence of the curvature of the earth. By heightening the antenna to expand the communication capability, the antenna is not only expanded enough, but also affected by various climates and environments during sailing, thereby affecting the wireless communication capability. Therefore, whether the kite system can be freely folded or unfolded is a key for maintaining the stability of the system. Furthermore, by choosing different shapes of the wings, it is one of the challenges that the maintenance of the stability of the system in the flying state is also faced by the offshore kite system.
In recent years, researchers have largely explored the above challenges and developed a series of offshore kite systems. For example: a variable-span kite wind machine tied on the power generation origin of the kite; pushing the ship travel kite system based on the strength of the captured wind; towed sonar systems; an offshore power generation system towed in water, and the like. The systems use the offshore kite system for offshore wind power generation and assisting the ship to advance, help the ship to save energy and reduce emission, and do not relate the offshore kite system with a communication architecture.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and the detailed description.
The invention is based on unmanned ship on-board marine kite towed communication system, is formed by two parts, namely a winding and unwinding system and a kite system, the two systems are connected through a composite cable, and the composite cable 15 can also supply power to a wireless communication radio station 13 in the kite system, so that the unmanned ship on-board marine kite towed communication system can continuously work.
As shown in fig. 1, the parafoil 14 of the kite device is fixedly connected with a composite cable 15 through a slip ring. A wireless relay communication station 13 is mounted on the parafoil to establish a link between the wireless communication station 13 and a hull communication system, and a signal platform is established in the air at sea, similarly to the principle of raising an antenna. The length of the cable 15 can reach 150-200 m, and the weight of the parafoil and the station part is not large, so that the kite is flown through the action of the movement of the ship body and wind when the ship is sailing at sea, and the kite is kept stable in the air.
Fig. 2 and 3 show a winding and unwinding system, in which a cable winding and unwinding frame 1 is used as a strut of the whole mechanism, a general motor 9 is mounted on the cable winding and unwinding frame for driving the mechanism, when the motor is started in the forward direction, the motor rotates in the forward direction to drive a synchronous pulley 11 to rotate, the cable is transmitted to a synchronous pulley 10 through a belt 12, and a bearing seat 3 and a bearing 8 are connected to drive a roller 2 to rotate, so that the friction influence is reduced and the center of the roller is kept unchanged. The roller 2 is composed of a guide rod 5 and a screw rod 6. The two rods are based on the same double-control bearing seat 4, the screw rod 6 is provided with a bearing 8 for stabilization, and meanwhile, the wire arrangement mechanism 7 of the winch is also provided for transmission, and the wire arrangement mechanism 7 and the bearing 8 are connected by adopting a fastening flange ring. Through the forward rotation of the roller, the rope is discharged. When the motor rotates reversely, the roller rotates reversely as above, thus realizing the recovery of the cable.
As shown in fig. 4, the parapet system is composed of a parapet wing 16 and a control line 14, and a parapet is selected from the viewpoint of stability and direction changing of the parapet in a glide map, not a round parapet. The frequency selection of the station 13 is in accordance with the uniformly prescribed operating frequency range of the marine station for international maritime communication, and the weight of the station 13 cannot be excessively heavy. The radio station 13 is fixed with the parafoil through fixedly connecting ropes on eight angles at the upper and lower angles, so that the stability of the radio station in the gliding process is ensured.
