UNDERWATER NETWORK CONTINUOUS OBSERVATION SYSTEM WITH USE OF RE-
NEWABLE ENERGY, AND METHOD THEREOF
The present invention relates to the technical field of sub- mersible underwater observation and in particular to an underwater network continuous observation system with use of renewable ener- gy, and a method thereof.
At present, submersibles are developing towards an orienta- tion of long-time and large-scale maritime information gathering.
Existing unmanned intelligent submersibles execute tasks by sources carried thereby, wherein the energy mainly includes types of lithium batteries, lead-acid batteries and other rechargeable batteries. Once the batteries are used up, the submersibles should return in time and be settled on mother ships or on shores by re- cycling equipment for energy supplementation. There are problems such that the energy carried by the unmanned submersibles is in- sufficient and release and recycling are difficult.
The present invention aims to provide an underwater network continuous observation system with use of renewable energy, which comprises submersibles and a maritime mobile working base station.
The maritime mobile working base station comprises a solar power generation device used for converting solar power into electric energy and a wireless charging system used for supplying electric energy to the submersibles; and each submersible is provided with an energy system used for receiving the electric energy supplied by the wireless charging system.
Further, the submersible comprises the energy system, and the energy system comprises a rechargeable battery and an electromag- netic receiving coil.
Further, the solar power generation device comprises a solar cell array, a solar controller, a storage battery pack and an in- verter.
Further, the wireless charging system comprises a charging cable and an electromagnetic transmitting coil electrically con- nected to the charging cable; the charging cable is electrically connected to the inverter; and electromagnetic coupling occurs be- tween the electromagnetic transmitting coil and the electromagnet- ic receiving coil.
Further, the maritime mobile working base station comprises a power positioning system; the power positioning system comprises an inclinometer, a gyrocompass, an aerovane, a power controller and a rotation thrustor; and the power controller can judge situa- tions of maritime winds and waves according to the inclinometer, gyrocompass and aerovane and can control the rotation thrustor to make the maritime mobile working base station submerge.
Further, the maritime mobile working base station comprises a wireless data transmission system; the wireless data transmission system comprises a GPS terminal position indicator, a Beidou ter- minal position indicator and a wireless transmission device; and the power positioning system can keep a position of the maritime mobile working base station on a sea level according to a position measured by the wireless data transmission system.
Further, an underwater sound communication system is also in- cluded; the underwater sound communication system comprises under- water sound communication equipment disposed on the submersible and a water surface deck unit disposed on the maritime mobile working base station; the submersibles are communicated by the un- derwater sound communication equipment; and the submersibles are communicated with the water surface deck unit on the maritime mo- bile working base station by the underwater sound communication equipment.
Further, a water surface comprehensive data console used for realizing transmission of control signals and receiving of re- turned information with the maritime mobile working base station is also included.
A second purpose of the present invention is to provide an underwater network continuous observation method with use of re-
newable energy. The method comprises: carrying out, by a submersi- ble, an autonomous underwater observation operation in a sea ac- cording to task assignment; converting the renewable energy into electric energy by a maritime mobile working base station; and when the submersible needs supply of the electric energy, return- ing to a place near a sea level on which the maritime mobile work- ing base station is located, by the submersible, and supplying the energy to the submersible by the maritime mobile working base sta- tion.
Further, the maritime mobile working base station keeps a re- quested position on the sea level by a wireless communication transmission system and a power positioning system, and submerges based on analysis of specific situations of maritime winds and waves by an inclinometer, a gyrocompass, an aerovane and a power controller.
In conclusion, the present invention has the following bene- ficial effects: (1) Green and environment-friendly: the underwater network continuous observation system adopts the solar power generation system, so that constraints from batteries are avoided for good and thus environmental pollution caused by battery disposal is avoided. (2) Continuous operations: the underwater network continuous observation system adopts the wireless charging system, so that the submersible does not need to be recycled and can conduct wire- less charging for energy supplementation on the sea level, and thus the submersible can conduct continuous operations. (3) Collaborative operations: the underwater network continu- ous observation system is loaded with a plurality of submersibles, and collaborative operations are conducted among submersible groups, so that an underwater network is formed to detect and col- lect maritime information. (4) Safe operations: in case of a dangerous sea state, the maritime mobile working base station of the underwater network continuous observation system can submerge below the sea level to realize safe operations. (5) Economic and efficient: the underwater network continuous observation system is released when the mother ship sails to a designated position, and recycling times are not limited by energy supplementation and data transmission, so that use cost of the mother ship is saved, and efficient operations are realized.

An underwater network continuous observation system with use of renewable energy, as shown in FIG. 1, comprises a maritime mo-
bile working base station 1 used for supplying energy and sending and receiving data; an unmanned submersible 2 group used for un- derwater continucus observation; and a water surface comprehensive data console 3 used for realizing transmission of control signals 5 and receiving of returned information.
As shown in FIG. 2, the maritime mobile working base station 1 comprises a solar power generation device 11, a wireless charg- ing system 12, a power positioning system 13 and a wireless data transmission system 14, wherein the solar power generation device 11 comprises a solar cell array, a controller, a storage battery pack, an inverter or the like; the wireless charging system 12 comprises a charging cable, an electromagnetic transmitting coil or the like; the power positioning system 13 comprises a full ro- tation thrustor, a controller, a gyrocompass, an aerovane, an in- clinometer and other measurement equipment; and a wireless data transmission system 14 comprises a GPS terminal position indica- tor, a Beidou terminal position indicator, radio, WIFI and other equipment.

The intelligent control system equipment 21 com- prises a watertight control cabinet and an intelligent controller; the maritime information detection and collection equipment 22 comprises a temperature sensor, a salinity sensor, a sea magnetom- eter, a chemical sensor and other equipment; the underwater navi- gation and positioning equipment 23 comprises inertial navigation equipment, a magnetic compass, long and short baselines, a fiber optic gyroscope and a Doppler log; the underwater sound communica- tion system 24 comprises underwater sound communication equipment located on the submersible 2 and a water surface deck unit located on the base station; the water surface communication system 25 comprises a GPS terminal position indicator, a Beidou terminal po- sition indicator, radio and WIFI; the propelling system 26 com- prises a propeller thrustor, rudders and the like; and the energy system 27 comprises an electromagnetic receiving coil, a recharge- able battery or the like.
A mother ship carries the underwater network continuous ob- servation system to a target area in a sea; and a deck crane re- leases the maritime mobile working base station 1 and the submers- ible 2 in the sea respectively. An implementation is divided into three parts.
First: an implementation mode of the maritime mobile working base station 1. The maritime mobile working base station 1 works and floats on the sea level; and the equipment of the solar power generation device 11 can convert solar power into electric energy which is stored in the storage battery pack. A part of the elec- tric energy is supplied to an energy power system of the maritime mobile working base station 1, and the other part is supplied to an energy power system of the submersible 2. Designed with neutral buoyancy, the maritime mobile working base station 1 remains at a certain position on the sea level by the power positioning system 13 in work; and in case of a dangerous sea state, the base station submerges by the power positioning system 13 and keeps a certain depth in the sea. The power positioning system 13 realizes sub- mergence of the maritime mobile working base station 1 in the fol- lowing principle; and the power controller can judge situations of maritime winds and waves {such as a maximum inclination angle and a sea level wind speed of the maritime mobile working base station 1) according to the inclinometer, gyrocompass and aerovane and can control the rotation thruster to make the maritime mobile working base station 1 submerge.
Second: an implementation mode of the submersible 2 group.
The submersible 2 group carries out an autonomous underwater ob- servation operation in the sea according to task assignment. When energy supply is needed, the submersible 2 returns to a place near the sea level on which the maritime mobile working base station 1 is located. Within a certain distance, the operation is conducted by electromagnetic coupling generated between the electromagnetic transmitting coil located on the maritime mobile base station and the electromagnetic receiving coil located on the submersible 2.
An electromagnetic field is formed by alternating currents in the electromagnetic transmitting coil; electromagnetic induction is generated by the electromagnetic receiving coil located within an irradiation scope of the magnetic field; and currents are generat- ed to charge the battery.
Third: an implementation mode of information transmission. In an underwater operation, information such as positions, postures and situations are transmitted by the underwater sound communica- tion systems 24 in the submersible 2 group, group collaborative operations are conducted and an underwater network observation system is formed; in the underwater operation, the submersible 2 group transmits information such as the positions, postures and situations in real time to the maritime mobile working base sta- tion 1 by the underwater sound communication systems 24 so as to ensure a safe operation; when the submersible 2 floats to a place near the sea level where the maritime mobile working base station 1 is located, the water surface communication system 25 is used to transmit detection data or the like to the maritime mobile working base station 1; and the maritime mobile working base stationl can use the wireless data transmission system 14 to transmit the data information to the water surface comprehensive data console 3 lo- cated on the mother ship or on a shore base.
Working principles and working processes of the underwater network continuous observation system:
Working principles: the underwater network continuous obser- vation system is mainly applied to long-time and long-scope mari- time information gathering of the submersible 2 group. The under- water network continuous observation system is established by a solar power generation technologies, a wireless charging technolo- gy, a computer technology, a motion control technology, an under- water sound communication technology, a wireless information transmission technology, a marine dynamic positioning technology, an underwater navigation and positioning technology, a network technology and the like. The submersible 2 group is charged by the wireless charging technology, so that continuous operations are realized. The wireless information transmission technology is used for information interactions of the submersibles 2 and the base station thereof, so that long-time and large-scope continuous ob-
servation of the submersible 2 group is realized.
According to FIG. 3, the block diagram of an underwater net- work continuous observation method with use of the renewable ener- gy, working processes of the underwater network continuous obser- vation system are as follows: the mother ship carries the underwa- ter network continuous observation system to the target area in the sea; and the deck crane releases the maritime mobile working base station 1 and the submersible 2 group in the sea respective- ly. The maritime mobile working base station 1 is located in the designated area of the sea level in operations by the power posi- tioning system 13 and stores the electric energy by the solar pow- er generation device 11. The submersible 2 group conducts the ob- servation operation according to a preset target. The submersibles carry the sensors, can conduct the operations according to task assignment, make mutual communications and make basic decisions without manual instructions, so that marine elements such as ma- rine temperature, salinity and chemical pollution sources can be sampled, submarine topographies are observed and drawn and the ma- rine environment is closely observed and monitored. When the sub- mersible 2 needs supply of the electric energy, the submersible returns to the place near the sea level on which the maritime mo- bile working base station 1 is located, uses the energy system 27 to charge the self-charging battery and transmits the observation data to the maritime mobile working base station 1 by the wireless communication equipment. The maritime mobile working base station 1 located on the sea level uses the wireless communication equip- ment to transmit the detection data of the submersible 2 to the water surface comprehensive data console 3 located on the mother ship or on a shore base, for later analysis and use. The steps are circulated till continuous operations in the designated sea area or within a period are completed. After the operations or during system maintenance, crane equipment on the mother ship is used to recycle the maritime mobile working base station 1 and the sub- mersible 2 group.
