A sub-parent AUV with multi-load release capacity: principle, mechanism design, and performance testing

  • 摘要:
    目的 针对水下搜救、战时布防、密集攻击等场合对负载能力、响应速度、多体协同的特殊要求,提出一种子母式AUV的概念。
    方法 提出高负载率内藏式的载荷携带形式、多点组合推冲的弹射出舱方式以及前后舱段错位交替的多载荷布放方法。设计了一套适用于载荷布放的笼式悬挂系统以及多载荷次序布放机构,并开展了一系列实验室和湖上试验。
    结果 结果表明:单个子AUV能在0.2 s内成功出舱,经过0.5 s的姿态变化成功与母AUV分离,6个子AUV在30 s内从母AUV中安全分离,布放冲击对母AUV影响较小。
    结论 所提出的子母式AUV及其载荷布放方法具有良好的可行性和可靠性,可顺利实现多载荷的安全可靠布放。

     

    Abstract:
    Objectives This paper proposes the concept of a sub-parent AUV to address the specific requirements of load capacity, response speed, and multi-body coordination in scenarios such as underwater search and rescue, wartime defense, and dense attacks.
    Methods A high payload-to-weight ratio internal payload carrying system is designed for the sub-parent AUV. Additionally, a novel ejection method and a multi-load deployment approach based on multi-point combination propulsion are proposed. Furthermore, a cage-style suspension system suitable for payload deployment and a multi-load sequencing mechanism are designed. The performance of the proposed design is evaluated through a series of tests conducted in both indoor laboratory and open lake environments.
    Results The results demonstrate that the sub AUV (payload) successfully exits the compartment within 0.2 seconds and separates from the parent AUV after 0.5 seconds of attitude adjustment. Six sub AUVs safely separate from the parent AUV within 30 seconds, with minimal impact on the parent AUV caused by payload deployment.
    Conclusions The feasibility and reliability of the novel AUV concept are demonstrated, showcasing its capability to achieve safe and reliable multi-load deployment.
