Patent number: 11977201Abstract: The invention discloses an integrated detection method of electromagnetic searching, locating and tracking for subsea cables. After being launched into water, the cable-tracking AUV carries out primary Z-shaped reciprocating sailing to search the electromagnetic signal of the target subsea cable, when the electromagnetic signal reaches a preset threshold value, the AUV executes the cable-tracking detection. In the tracking process, if the target electromagnetic signal intensity is lower than the preset threshold, it is determined that subsea cable tracking is lost. At this time, the secondary Z-shaped cable-researching route planning and tracking are performed based on the lost point. In the process that the AUV autonomously tracks and detects the subsea cable, relative locating between AUV and subsea cable is performed based on the electromagnetic signal radiated by the subsea cable, and autonomous tracking control under the guidance of the electromagnetic locating signal is performed.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: HUAZHONG UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Xianbo Xiang, Jialei Zhang, Shaolong Yang, Qin Zhang, Gong Xiang, Guohua Xu

Patent number: 11809201Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and system for hierarchical disturbance rejection depth tracking control of an underactuated underwater vehicle, and the depth tracking of the underactuated underwater vehicle is divided into kinematic layer guidance and dynamic layer pitch tracking. Adaptive line of sight guidance is used in the kinematic layer to convert a depth error into a desired pitch angle and to estimate and compensate an angle of attack to reject disturbance introduced by an unmeasurable true angle of attack. Based on the above, in the dynamic layer, the active disturbance rejection sliding mode pitch tracking method is used to observe a composite disturbance including an unknown dynamic model and an environmental disturbance by using the active disturbance rejection framework. The model is compensated as a unified integral series type, a sliding mode control law is finally designed to resist an observation error, and a control elevator angle is calculated.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2023Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: HUAZHONG UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Xianbo Xiang, Chuan Liu, Shaolong Yang, Gong Xiang, Qin Zhang

Patent number: 11686874Abstract: The disclosure discloses a trajectory optimization method and device for accurately deploying marine sensors under water. The method includes the following steps. 1. Randomly select N sets of initial control variables within a range. 2. Input all of N sets of xi to the sensor's underwater glide kinematics and dynamics models, and calculate the smallest distance between N actual deployment positions and target deployment positions. 3. Determine whether the number of iterative operations is less than the preset value, if yes, perform global random walk and local random walk on N sets of xi, obtain N sets of xi again, and return to step 2; otherwise, go to step 4. 4. Output the control variable xi corresponding to ?s(x)nminmin and the corresponding trajectory as the optimal control variable and optimal trajectory. The disclosure can improve the accuracy of prediction on the underwater three-dimensional trajectory of the marine sensor.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: HUAZHONG UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Gong Xiang, Xianbo Xiang, Donglei Dong, Shaolong Yang

Publication number: 20220327684Abstract: A method detects mechanical equipment parts. The method includes: obtaining an image of a part; extracting a feature from the image using a machine learning model, identifying a type of surface defect on the basis of the feature to obtain an identification result; and determining whether to replace the part on the basis of the identification result and a predetermined standard of the part. The method reduces the difficulty of detecting a part, can accurately identify a surface defect of the part and determine whether the part needs to be replaced, thereby improving the work efficiency, and shortens the time for mechanical equipment to stop operating for maintenance, thus improving the operating efficiency of the mechanical equipment. The method is automatically executed by a computer, thereby avoiding manually checking errors, improving the accuracy of detection results, and thus improving the reliability of operation of the mechanical equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2019Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Dian Song Cao, Xuan Cheng, Zhi Yu Luo, Xiao Dong Wu, Yi Xuan Shen, Jie Zhao, Gong Xiang Li
