DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present invention is further descried below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are merely used for describing the technical solution of the present invention more cleady, but are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
Referring to FIGs. 1-6, the seakeeping unmanned ship in the present invention adopts the catamaran type and includes an upper deck 1, floating bodies 7 separated from the upper deck 1, and a self-adaptive stabilizer. The floating bodies 7 provide buoyancy for the unmanned ship and are provided with propelling devices 8, and the floating bodies 7 are two symmetric floating bodies 7. A tilt angle sensor, an accelerometer, and a gyroscope are provided on the upper deck 1 and are configured to obtain the rotating angle, the angular acceleration prediction and trend of the upper deck 1, and transmit same to a control system in real time. The self-adaptive stabilizer includes a suspension system and balance control mechanisms 6. The suspension system is configured to connect the upper deck 1 and the floating bodies 7. The connecting structures of shock absorbers, piston rods 44, and first universal hinges 45 can rotate freely, thereby realizing the stability of the upper deck 1. Each balance control mechanism 6 includes a spherical rotating mechanism 61, the control system, and brackets 65 for connecting the balance control mechanism 6 and the floating body 7. The spherical rotating mechanism 61 rotates around a horizontal rotating shaft, and two ends of the horizontal rotating shaft are fixed on the brackets 65. One end of the horizontal rotating shaft is provided with a motor 63 and an encoder capable of detecting the rotating angle and the rotating speed. The rotating angle of the spherical rotating mechanism 61 is reversely adjusted under the control of the control system. The motor 63 is connected to the spherical rotating mechanism 61 through a speed reducer 64. Spherical hinges 66 connected to the suspension system are provided on the spherical surface of the spherical rotating mechanism 61. The brackets 65 are triangular, and the bottoms of the brackets 65 are fixed to the floating body 7. Two ends of the balance control mechanism 6 are fixed to the brackets 65. The brackets 65 support the balance control mechanism 6.
The control system receives an angle 0 measured by the tilt angle sensor and the angular acceleration prediction and trend measured by the accelerometer and the gyroscope on the upper deck 1, thereby determining the state of the unmanned ship. If the rotating angle 0 is less than a given tilt angle, the control system determines that the unmanned ship is basically stable and makes no response. If the 0 is greater than the given tilt angle, the system determines that the unmanned ship is in an unstable state and needs to be adjusted, a tilt angle of the next moment is predicted by adopting a Kalman filtering algorithm based on a PID feedback control method, and the current tilt angle 0 plus the current angular velocity co multiplied by time t is equal to the tilt angle of the next moment, so as to control a motor 63 driving module to reversely adjust the motor 63, and make responses in advance to realize active stabilization, thereby reducing hull swinging caused by waves.
The suspension system includes a front suspension mechanism 4 and a rear suspension mechanism 5. The front suspension mechanism 4 includes a suspension frame 41, front shock absorbers 42, and the piston rods 44. The suspension frame 41 is an I-shaped integral structure with a wide upper part and a narrow lower part.

The in-cylinder spring 43 is connected to the upper deck 1 of the unmanned ship, so that the stability of the upper deck 1 can be realized in the tilted state of the suspension frame 41. -s -
Two ends of the upper horizontal bracket of the suspension frame 41 are provided with a front shock absorber 42, respectively. The front shock absorber 42 can be retracted or stretched, restoring force is provided by a spring and a hydraulic device in the front shock absorber 42, and the front shock absorber returns to the original state after stretching and retracting; the other end of each of the two front shock absorbers 42 is connected to a piston rod 44 through a connecting rod, respectively. The upper ends of the two piston rods 44 are hingedly connected to two ends of a lower horizontal bracket of the suspension frame 41 through the first universal hinges 45, respectively, thereby realizing omni-directional rotation. The lower ends of the two piston rods 44 are hingedly connected to the balance control mechanisms 6 on the left and right floating bodies through second universal hinges 62, respectively, thereby realizing omni-directional rotation. The piston rods 44 can be freely stretched or retracted in the maximum stroke range, and the change in the lengths of the piston rods 44 is realized.
The rear suspension mechanism 5 includes I-shaped connecting rods 51 which cannot be stretched or retracted and rear shock absorbers 52. One end of each I-shaped connecting rod 51 is hingedly connected to the upper deck 1, and the other end is hingedly connected to the balance control mechanism 6 on the floating body 7 and rotates around a hinge point of the upper deck 1. The lower ends of the rear shock absorbers 52 are connected to cross rods in the 1-shaped connecting rods 51, and the upper ends are hingedly connected to the upper deck 1, thereby limiting the rotating range of the connecting rods.
There are four spherical rotating mechanisms 61 which are provided at the front and rear positions of the left and right floating bodies, respectively. Second universal hinges 62 connected to the front suspension mechanism 4 are provided on the spherical surfaces of the two spherical rotating mechanisms 61 at the front parts of the left and right floating bodies, and the second universal hinges 62 are configured to connect two piston rods 44 in the front suspension mechanism 4, respectively. Spherical hinges 66 connected to the rear suspension mechanism 5 are provided on the spherical surfaces of two spherical rotating mechanisms 61 at the rear parts of the left and right floating bodies, and the spherical hinges 66 are configured to connect two I-shaped connecting rods 51 in the rear suspension mechanism 5, respectively. -9 -
It should be noted that the second universal hinges 62 are provided on the spherical surfaces of the two spherical rotating mechanisms 61 at the front parts of the left and right floating bodies, so as to realize three-dimensional unconstrained rotatory movement of the piston rods 44 around the universal hinges (the first universal hinge 45 and the second universal hinge 62) at the two ends thereof The spherical hinges 66 are provided on the spherical surfaces of the two spherical rotating mechanisms 61 at the rear parts of the left and right floating bodies, and can only realize planar rotary movement of the I-shaped connecting rods 51 in the rear suspension mechanism 5 around the spherical hinges 66 in a cross section (a plane shown in FIG. 3).
Further, bows of the floating bodies 7 are set as bulbous bows 9, so that ship generated waves of a ship in the moving process can be reduced.
Further, the upper deck 1 is also provided with operating equipment 3 and a communication antenna 2, and the operating equipment 3 includes a winch 32 provided below the communication antenna 2 and an A-shaped frame 31 used in cooperation with the winch 32 and fixedly provided on the upper deck 1.
Furthermore, the propelling devices 8 are provided at sterns of the floating bodies 7.
Preferably, the material of the suspension frame 41 is a stainless steel alloy square tube, the piston rods 44 are free-type gas springs, and there are four cylinders.
A stabilizing method for different degrees of freedom of the unmanned ship according to the present invention is as follows: pitch: waves travel along a longitudinal direction of a ship, resulting in different heights of the bow and stern of the ship, and thus forming a pitch. According to the seakeeping unmanned ship, the upper deck 1 is separated from the floating bodies 7, and the floating bodies 7 produce a pitch upon encountering waves. The relative stability of the upper deck 1 is ensured through the telescopic movement of the front suspension mechanism 4 and the -to -rear suspension mechanism 5. The balance control mechanism 6 enables the front suspension mechanism 4 and the rear suspension mechanism 5 to rotate with respect to the floating bodies so as to ensure that the upper deck 1 does not tilt. By means of passive adjusting devices such as the shock absorbers in the two suspension mechanisms and active adjusting devices in the balance control mechanisms 6, the floating bodies 7 are quickly restored to the original state, thereby realizing the purpose of stabilization on a pitch scale.
Roll and heave: waves come from a transverse direction of the ship, resulting in the hull tilted, and thus seriously influencing the navigation safety. The seakeeping unmanned ship adopts the catamaran type, and the stability moment is increased. The left and right floating bodies rotate with respect to the upper deck 1 through the two suspension mechanisms to produce independent heave motions. The upper deck 1 has a small magnitude of motion due to the damping action of the suspension system, thereby realizing the purpose of stabilization in roll and heave degrees of freedom.
The descriptions above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, many modifications and variations can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these modifications and variations should also be regarded as falling within the scope of protection of the present invention.
