  • Patent number: 11834141
    Abstract: A heave survey platform includes: a body, two fixed wings and two variable wing mechanisms. The two fixed wings are symmetrically disposed on two sides of a middle part of the body, and an axis of the body is located in a plane defined by extension directions of the two fixed wings. Each variable wing mechanism includes a variable wing, and the two variable wings of the two variable wing mechanisms are symmetrically disposed on two sides of a lower end of the body, and each variable wing is configured to swing between a first position coplanar with the plane and a second position forming an angle with the plane to generate a lift force on the body at the second position, thereby to make the body move in a radial direction or change attitude.

  • Publication number: 20230365242
    Abstract: A driving method is implemented to a lifting device of an underwater survey system, and the lifting device includes a phase-change heat exchange module, an oil bag module, a pressurized energy storage module, and a drive energy storage module. The driving method includes: controlling the pressurized energy storage module to extract hydraulic oil in the oil bag module to descend the lifting device; during a transformation of a phase-change material, the pressurized energy storage module transmitting hydraulic oil to the phase-change heat exchange module; transmitting the hydraulic oil inside the oil bag module to the pressurized energy storage module to descend the lifting device; controlling the drive energy storage module to transmit hydraulic oil to the oil bag module for rising the lifting device; and during a transformation of the phase-change material, transmitting the hydraulic oil in the phase-change heat exchange module to the drive energy storage module.
