  • Patent number: 11530036
    Abstract: A fixed-wing aerial underwater vehicle includes a shell component, a flight component and a pneumatic buoyancy component. The flight component includes a fixed wing and rotors, and the fixed wing and the rotors are mounted in the shell component. The pneumatic buoyancy component includes an air bladder and an inflation and deflation portion, and the inflation and deflation portion can inflate and deflate the air bladder. The air bladder is installed on the shell component, a containing space is formed in the shell component, and the inflation and deflation portion is partially or entirely installed in the containing space. Each rotor includes a rotor supporting rod, a motor base, a motor and a propeller, which are sequentially connected. A control method for the fixed-wing aerial underwater vehicle mentioned above is further provided.

  • Patent number: 10627318
    Abstract: Provided is a mechanical handheld hermetic sampler for marine sediment. The sampler comprises sampling assembly and a pressure maintaining assembly. The sampling assembly includes a sampling tube, a handle and an end cap. The sampling tube is fixed at a lower end surface of the end cap while the handle is fixed at an upper end surface of the end cap. The handheld robotic sampler for marine sediment with hermetic sampling is simple and compact in structure, small in size, light in weight, easy to manipulate and manufacture, highly reliable, and particularly suitable for robotic sampler hand control of underwater operating equipment such as a manned submersible, an unmanned submersible and Remotely Operated Vehicle.
