小型水下自航行器自沉浮装置设计与研究

Design and Research on the Variable Buoyancy Device of Mini-type AUV

文中对水下自航行器(Autonomous Underwater Vehicle,简称AUV)的自沉浮装置进行了详细设计与研究。通过对已有的自沉浮装置方案进行对比研究,设计了以高压气体吹除压载水舱的新型自沉浮装置,该装置具有结构简单、可靠性高和可维护性好的特点,并可实现模块化设计。最后,对装置的主要设计参数进行了计算与优化。

The variable buoyancy device of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle （AUV for short） is designed and researched in this paper. On the ground of the analysis of available variable buoyancy device, this paper presents a novel variable buoyancy device which can change its buoyancy via high pressured air. This device has the simple and reliable characteristics which can be used as a module on AUVs. At last, the main parameters of the device are computed and optimized.
