The new developed unmanned measurement vessel was applied in this fields more and more widely. The unmanned measurement vessel is based on the main technologies of unmanned vessel, particularly, integrated with a measurement device to collect samples and process data. Furthermore, the analyzed results can be transmitted to the shore base through communication devices at real time. The unmanned measurement vessel can be worked at autonomous and remote control modes, respectively. And the sensing devices in the vessel were operated through remote control. Based on these solutions, the vessel can take the replace of human being to reach to the dangerous regions such as the shoal and near-shore.
- At present, there are some problems with the unmanned vessel during the actual working process, such as sucking air, vacuole and insufficient suction which emerge easily when in a low-speed running without pressure, and the stepped water inlet of the underwater pump-jet being entangled by the aquatic plants easily. Further, a water spray system requires a complicated reversing system, and when a fine angle adjustment in linear sailing and steering are performed, the whole power system should be steered, thereby generating a greater resistance and energy consumption. It is difficult to install and maintain the underwater pump-jet, and its operational performance is poor, and therefore, it lacks flexibility, and is inefficient and insecure.

Theimpeller 10 performs an adjustment by changing the water flow direction, thereby realizing a fine adjustment of a direction of a driving force, when a fine angle adjustment in linear sailing and steering are performed to the vessel, there is no need to steer the whole power system, thereby the problems of a greater resistance and a greater energy consumption are avoided, such that a cruising power of the vessel is further enhanced. - The podded all-direction pump-jet vector propeller is a novel marine propelling mechanism which incorporates a propelling mechanism and a steering mechanism. In the podded all-direction pump-jet vector propeller, the
motor 3 is disposed outside the vessel and is directly connected to theimpeller 5, thus it can rotate horizontally within 360 degrees to realize a vector advance. - The present disclosure is applied to a technical field of marine vector propeller.
- Although the invention is illustrated and described herein with reference to specific embodiments, the invention is not intended to be limited to the details shown.
