    摘要: An autonomous underwater vehicle, which includes a hull extending along a longitudinal main axis, and at least one vehicle uprighting device configured to alter a trim angle of the vehicle between a nominal horizontal position of the vehicle and a vertical position of the vehicle, characterised in that the vehicle uprighting device includes one or more arms mounted on the hull by a proximal end and rotatably hinged to the hull, and including a float at a distal free end.

    摘要: A self-balanced pressure hull device, belonging to the field of pressure structure technology of deep-sea submersibles, being assembled by nesting, from inside to outside, a spherical inner housing, a spherical intermediate housing and a spherical outer housing around the sphere centre, pairs of symmetric coaxial connecting shaft components being connected between the spherical inner housing and the spherical intermediate housing and between the spherical intermediate housing and the spherical outer housing, respectively; axes of the two pairs of connecting shaft components are perpendicular to each other so as to enable the spherical inner housing and the spherical intermediate housing to rotate relative to each other, and the spherical intermediate housing and the spherical outer housing to rotate relative to each other; and each of the connecting shaft components in the two pairs being provided with a spring damper for resisting the axial impact between each two adjacent housings.

    摘要: A submersible vehicle having an outer hull which defines a hull axis and appears substantially annular when viewed along the hull axis, the interior of the annulus defining a duct which is open at both ends so that when the vehicle is submerged in a liquid, the liquid floods the duct. At least part of the outer hull is swept with respect to the hull axis A buoyancy control system may be provided. Various methods of deploying and using the vehicle are described.

    摘要: A submersible designed so that a cabin for boarding an operator has a size just enough to accommodate the operator and even such a light weight of the submersible can cause the submersible to submerge. Furthermore, when an operator having a weight smaller than a design maximum operator's weight of the submersible is on board, and therefore the total weight of the submersible is reduced and the buoyancy thereof is increased, the buoyancy of the submersible is adjusted by pouring water having a weight corresponding to a difference between the design maximum operator's weight and the actual weight of the operator into an expansion container, disposed in the cabin, capable of expanding by containing water. In this manner, the net weight of the submersible is prevented from increasing.

    摘要: Buoyancy is controlled in a tethered object by pumping fluids, either of a first or second specific gravity, from an external source into either a first or second containment chamber to change the respective volumetric capacities of the first and second containment chambers. The containment chambers are configured such that the second chamber is at least partially enclosed within the first chamber. The second chamber is configured to expand and retract within the first chamber, which has a fixed housing. Expansion or contraction of the second chamber results in a corresponding inverse change in a volumetric capacity of the first chamber. The fluid chambers may be separate or contained within the same housing, and may be located on a towing vessel. Sensor data from the tethered object's environment may be used to control the transfer of fluid to the first and second chambers.
