RU221915U1 - ELECTRICALLY PORT UNCREWED VESSEL - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to the field of shipbuilding and concerns the development of electric-driven surface port unmanned auxiliary vessels, the intended purpose of which can vary depending on the payload placed on them, with the coordinated control of the activities of a group of automatic tugs when performing mooring operations in port waters not provided with a sufficient system hydrographic information. The technical result is to increase the efficiency of using an unmanned support vessel, namely, when performing mooring operations in port waters that are not provided with a sufficient system of hydrographic information, by providing hydrographic information and video conditions from above the port waters, which increases the safety of the passage of the most unmanned vessel along the optimal route, as well as others located in this water area, including crew equipment. The essence of the utility model is that an electric-powered port unmanned vessel containing a hull with a deck, a propulsion system, a navigation system with a GLONASS/GPS antenna, remote control systems, surveillance, collection, transmission and storage of information, according to the utility model, is made with two hulls - in the form catamaran with a single deck. The propulsion unit is installed in each housing and is designed as a steering column. On the deck there is a multi-seat landing platform designed for storing unmanned aerial vehicles and ensuring their take-off and landing, while the platform has a landing platform with a device for electromagnetic fixation of the aircraft located on its surface, as well as a rotating protective screen with a window, made with the possibility of alternating opening one seat of the platform to ensure takeoff or landing of the aircraft.

Description

The utility model relates to the field of shipbuilding and concerns the development of electric-driven surface port unmanned auxiliary vessels, the intended purpose of which can vary depending on the payload placed on them, with the coordinated control of the activities of a group of automatic tugs when performing mooring operations in port waters not provided with a sufficient system hydrographic information. Transmitted video information to the remote captain's automated workstation (AWS) ensures the safest performance of mooring operations.

An electric-powered unmanned vessel is known, containing a hull with a deck, a propulsion system, a navigation system with a GLONASS/GPS antenna, remote control systems, surveillance, collection, transmission and storage of information, differing in that (see RU2639000U1, pub., 12/19/2017). The vessel is designed to carry out operations to illuminate the situation and monitor the state of the water area

The disadvantage of the above technical solution is the narrow specialization of the BEC and the impossibility of placing another replaceable payload on it to solve a wide range of problems, which does not allow expanding the functionality of the boat.

The technical problem is to create a vessel with enhanced capabilities in terms of reconnaissance of the environment around the vessel, which makes it possible to increase the safety of the vessel’s passage along the optimal route.

The technical result is to increase the efficiency of using an unmanned support vessel, namely, when performing mooring operations in port waters that are not provided with a sufficient system of hydrographic information, by providing hydrographic information and video conditions from above the port waters, which increases the safety of the passage of the most unmanned vessel along the optimal route, as well as others located in this water area, including crew equipment.

The problem is solved, and the technical result is achieved by the fact that the electric-powered port unmanned vessel, containing a hull with a deck, a propulsion system, a navigation system with a GLONASS/GPS antenna, remote control systems, surveillance, collection, transmission and storage of information, according to the utility model, is made of a double-hull - in the form of a catamaran with a single deck, the propulsion unit is installed in each hull and is made in the form of a steering column, on the deck there is a multi-seat landing platform designed for storing unmanned aerial vehicles and ensuring their takeoff and landing, while the platform has a landing pad with an electromagnetic fixation device for the aircraft device located on its surface, as well as a rotating protective screen with a window, designed to alternately open one seat of the platform to ensure takeoff or landing of the aircraft.

The utility model is illustrated with the help of drawings.

In fig. 1 shows a front view of the described vessel;

In fig. 2 – the same, assembly view;

In fig. 3 – the same, top view;

In fig. Figure 4 shows an enlarged view of the landing platform.

The described vessel has on board:

- a squadron of UAVs (quadcopters) located on multi-seat landing platforms with protective screens and designed for visual observation from above over the part of the water area where the mooring operation takes place, using video cameras.

The unmanned vessel consists of a catamaran hull made of non-magnetic plastic materials that eliminate magnetic influence on the control system. Each hull of an unmanned vessel contains at least one rudder propeller (RPP) and battery systems.

In the drawings, structural elements are indicated by the following positions:

1 – catamaran hull;

2 and 3 – multi-seat landing platform for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, for example, quadcopters)

4 – deck;

5 - radar antenna, GLONASS/GPS antenna, surveillance system, optical-electronic system; remote control system antenna;

6 – landing pad with a device for electromagnetic fixation of the aircraft (with electromagnetic coating);

7 – UAV (quadcopter);

8 – stencil;

9 – protective screen;

10 - distance fencing;

11 – gear motor;

12 – gear;

13- internal gear ring;

14 – ball bearing;

15- electromagnetic clamp;

16 – UAV landing target;

17 – camouflage side;

18- window on the protective screen;

19- base of the multi-seat landing platform module;

20 - anchor system;

21 – information collection and storage system with a transmission and reception unit with a remote captain’s workstation, providing coordination and control, satellite communication channels;

22 - battery system;

23 - remote control system;

24 - electrical complex VRK;

25 – stand-base of the multi-seat landing platform module;

26 – QR code of the seat.

Each model of the UAV 7 is located on a platform 6 with an electromagnetic coating, which ensures the immobility of the UAV during its storage. The platform 6 itself is in a stationary state, and the position, which is indicated by QR code 26, opens when the protective screen 9 rotates along the ball bearing 14 around the axis of the base stand 25 of the multi-seat landing platform module 25 from the gear motor 11 through internal gearing through the gear 12 and a gear ring 13. Above the required position, the window 18 on the protective screen 9 stops and is fixed through a fixed stencil 8 by an electromagnetic latch 15, and when the position changes, the latch 15 is discharged, and then a command is issued to rotate the protective screen 9 to the next position.

The landing accuracy of the UAV 7 is ensured by the control system 21 through a video camera on the landing target 16 of the UAV 7.

UAV 7 provides hydrographic information and video situation from above the port water area, where the movement of a group of vehicles takes place.

Information is obtained through UAV monitoring of the water area where the mooring operation is carried out, as well as along the escort course from the meeting of the moored vessel to the mooring pier. The information received from the UAV regarding the coordinates of their location in the water area with characteristic video information is transmitted to the remote captain's workstation for mooring operations to generate control commands that directly carry out mooring operations.

Several landing platforms can be installed on the deck, which will expand the efficiency of use of the described vessel.

Thus, the use of the described vessel increases the efficiency of mooring operations in port waters, as well as the safety of work.

The presence of two buildings 1 allows you to place multi-person landing pads 6 on a common deck 4. In addition, this design allows you to reduce the pitching of the pads 6, and the electromagnetic fixation ensures the stability of the UAV 7 on the pads 7. The protective screen 9 and the remote shield 10 provide protection for the UAV 7 on the pads 6.
