Abstract:
PURPOSE: A 3-point link vector thruster and a manufacturing method thereof are provided to use in an underwater robot such as a small autonomous underwater vehicle. CONSTITUTION: A 3-point link vector thruster comprises a first ball joint(11), a second ball joint(12), a first linear actuator(21), a second linear actuator(22), and a second axial link(30). The first and second ball joints are attached at the top of a propulsion motor housing(2). One end of the first and second linear actuators is connected to the first and second ball joints, respectively. The other end of the first and second actuators is connected to a hull structure. One end of the second axial link is attached at the bottom of the propulsion motor housing and the other end thereof is fixed in the hull structure.

Abstract:
A prefabricated inspection device for the side walls of a structure is disclosed. The prefabricated inspection device for the side walls of a structure according to the present invention is a device for observing or inspecting side walls at locations having a floor and the side walls extended downward from the end of the floor. The device comprises: a moving body; a horizontal arm having a horizontal connection part connected to the moving body, and an arm connection part lengthily extended from the horizontal connection part and protruding from the end of the moving body; a vertical arm coupled to the arm connection part and extended downward from the floor to couple an inspection unit for observing the side walls to the bottom thereof; and a rollover protection device installed in the moving body to come in contact with or be fixed on the floor so as to prevent the moving body from moving or rotating toward the arm connection part. According to the present invention, the prefabricated inspection device for the side walls of a structure can fundamentally prevent the rollover in the conditions of blowing strong wind in a valley or the sea by installing the rollover protection device on which a heavy object, such as a vehicle, is placed in the opposite side of the vertical arm while having the dead weight of the moving body.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An automatic stabilizing unmanned submarine is provided to fall to the underwater without separating power and to easily collect by controlling stability when floating to the surface of the water after exploring. CONSTITUTION: An automatic stabilizing unmanned submarine(1) comprises a horizontal level control member. The horizontal level control member includes a cylinder member and a piston member. The piston member transfers inside the cylinder member. The piston member transfers inside the cylinder member according to water pressure and increases or decreases buoyancy by changing a buoyancy space formed between the cylinder member and the piston member. The piston member includes a main piston member, a guide piston member, and a connection member. The main piston member changes the buoyancy space. The guide piston member is separated from the main piston member in a specific interval and includes a plurality of penetration units in which seawater flows.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A thrust-vectoring underwater propulsion device using a constant speed joint is provided to optimize the capacity of an actuator and to overcome the narrowed spatial restriction of a stern by vertically and laterally inclining only propeller. CONSTITUTION: A thrust-vectoring underwater propulsion device comprises a cylindrical housing(20), a constant speed joint(30), a fan tilt arm, a first tie link arm(40), a second tie link arm(52), a first linear actuator(61), a second linear actuator, and a tie rod(70). The constant joint is connected to the stern end of a rotary shaft and transfers the rotating force of the rotary shaft at an arbitrarily inclined angle. The fan tilt arm connects the constant speed joint and a propeller and transfers the rotating force of the rotary shaft to the propeller. The first tie link arm is hinge-coupled to the outer circumference of the housing. The tie rod connects the first and second tie link arms to the fan tilt arm and inclines the fan tilt arm at an inclined angle of the first and second tie link arms.
