Abstract
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a guide device for an underwater robot is provided.
A guide device for an underwater robot according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body coupled to an underwater structure, at least one first rail part formed along an underwater structure on one side of the main body, A second rail portion surrounding at least a portion of the structure, and a mount coupled to the underwater robot at one side and moving along the second rail portion.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
In general, an underwater structure such as a BOP (Blowout Preventer) is used to prevent high-pressure high pressure from land surface of a submarine when drilling a natural resource, . The BOP is operated by a remotely operated underwater robot, such as a ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle), to shut off abnormal high pressure. These ROVs are cabled to the ship to provide the necessary power and assist in the operation of the BOP as the seabed moves.
On the other hand, underwater robots move from the sea floor and work, so it is difficult to control the position. Particularly, when working in an environment where a lot of external force such as algae is applied, it is difficult to control the position of the underwater robot and a problem that a lot of electric power is consumed to maintain a proper working posture occurs. In addition, when a sophisticated operation is required, there is a problem that the time required for controlling the position of the robot in the water is long and the working time is prolonged.
An object of the present invention is to provide a guide device for an underwater robot which is coupled to the outside of an underwater structure to guide the movement of the underwater robot and enable stable operation even when an external force such as algae is applied to the underwater robot will be.
The technical objects of the present invention are not limited to the technical matters mentioned above, and other technical subjects not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an underwater robot guiding apparatus comprising: a main body coupled to an underwater structure; at least one first main part formed along the underwater structure on one side of the main body; A second rail part moving along the first rail part and surrounding at least a part of the underwater structure, and a cradle coupled to the underwater robot on one side and moving along the second rail part.
The cradle and the second rail may be coupled to each other by a convex-concave coupling, one side of which is protruded and the other of which receives the convex and concave sides.
The first rail portion may be disposed in a vertical direction along the underwater structure, and the second rail portion may be formed in a ring shape to surround the underwater structure.
A fixing part slidably coupled to the first rail and a connection part connecting the fixing part and the second rail part.
And a first driving part formed on the fixing part and moving the fixing part along the first rail part.
And a second driving unit formed on the cradle and moving the cradle along the second rail.
The cradle may further include a coupling portion to which the underwater robot is coupled.
The cradle may further include a magnetic force coupling portion having a magnetic force on one side.
And a sensor unit attached to one side of the cradle to recognize the position of the cradle, wherein the sensor unit measures a distance between the cradle and the underwater structure to recognize the position of the cradle, 1 position and the second rail, and recognizes the position of the cradle.
And a marking unit capable of photographing the at least one of the underwater structure, the main body, the first rail, and the second rail at the sensor unit.
According to the present invention, by providing a guide device of an underwater robot on the outside of an underwater structure, even if an external force such as a bird or the like acts on the underwater robot, the work can be stably performed. In addition, it is possible to precisely control the position of the underwater robot, which can shorten the time consumed in controlling the position of the underwater robot, thereby reducing the total working time and power consumption.
