    Abstract: An unmanned semi-submarine, including a main hull; airfoil buoyancy chambers; an antenna; a radar; a propeller; a rudder; and compartments. The airfoil buoyancy chambers include a front buoyancy chamber and a rear buoyancy chamber. The front buoyancy chamber and the rear airfoil buoyancy chamber are longitudinally distributed on the main hull. The radar and the antenna are disposed on the top end of the front buoyancy chamber. The rudder is disposed on the rear buoyancy chamber. The propeller is disposed at the tail of the main hull to drive the unmanned semi-submarine. The horizontal sections of the front buoyancy chamber and the rear buoyancy chamber are symmetrical airfoil. The compartments include a front equipment compartment, a rear equipment compartment, a control equipment compartment, a battery compartment, and a propelling compartment.

    Abstract: An unmanned surface vehicle (USV) including a main body; a slideway; and an automatic recovery unit. The slideway includes pulleys, slide rails, sleepers, end plates disposed at two sides of the sleepers, and baffle plates. The automatic recovery unit includes a buoy, a connection rod, a downhaul, an electromagnetic fixer, a winch, an upper cable, a storage box, and a recovery net. The slideway is fixed on the afterdeck of the main body and the tail end of the slideway sticks out the side boundary of the afterdeck. The baffle plates are disposed on the upper end of the end plates. The vertical height of the end plates is larger than the maximum vertical height of the pulleys and the slide rails. The baffle plates on the upper end of the end plates limit the displacement of the buoy in the vertical direction.

    Abstract: A submarine survey platform, including: a gasbag; a gas tube; a floater; an upper longitudinal plate; a lower longitudinal plate; diaphragm plates including upper openings, lower openings, and trapezoid openings disposed between the upper openings and the lower openings; and diagonal braces. The upper longitudinal plate includes a flat plate and a flanged plate. The lower longitudinal plate is a rectangular plate. The upper longitudinal plate pass through the upper openings, and the lower longitudinal plate pass through the lower openings. The diagonal braces and longitudinal stiffeners are disposed between every two adjacent diaphragm plates. Two diaphragm plates at two ends of the flat plate are provided with a lifting lug. The diagonal braces are symmetrically disposed and include outward braces and inward braces which are crossed with each other. Cross points of the upper/lower longitudinal plate with the diaphragm plates are support points of the upper/lower longitudinal plate.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a self-righting unmanned ship suitable for adverse sea conditions and a self-righting working mode thereof, belonging to the field of unmanned ship equipment and techniques. The unmanned ship comprises a main hull, a self-righting deck, an equipment and pipeline mast, a propeller, a radar, an air inlet and exhaust system, and a main engine system. Through the design of a watertight deck, the hull of the unmanned ship has a self-righting function, avoiding the possibility of the unmanned ship itself turning over, without installing additional self-righting equipment. Meanwhile, the internal structure and the self-righting working mode of the unmanned ship make it possible for the hull to automatically turn off the main engine and the air inlet and exhaust system when the heeling angle of the hull exceeds a certain angle, making the whole ship watertight.
