Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a floating recovery device for underwater equipment. The device includes a recovery body partitioned into a first compartment, a second compartment, and a third compartment by a partition wall, first and second pressure tanks installed in the first and second compartments, respectively, first and second striking parts fastened to the first and second pressure tanks, respectively, to strike the first and second pressure tanks, first and second actuators wirelessly actuating the first and second striking parts, respectively, and a buoyancy generator installed in the third compartment, and inflated by high-pressure gas introduced from the first and second pressure tanks, thus generating buoyancy. Such a configuration allows the pressure tank to be wirelessly struck for the purpose of supplying high-pressure gas to the buoyancy generator and floating the underwater equipment in the event of the loss of the underwater equipment.
