Abstract

Abstract: For the marine unmanned vessel platform's long-distance navigation, a waterfowl-type unmanned vessel platform energy supplement system consisting of a wave energy collecting mechanism and a hydraulic conversion system was presented. A four-link acquisition mechanism and an energy conversion system are designed. The wave force on the float and the vertical wave force on the unmanned vessel platform were calculated by Matlab software. Based on the energy flow conversion process, the Adams and AMESim co-simulation model of the system was established. The energy conversion efficiency of the system under different sea conditions was calculated. The research shows that it can realize the continuous energy supplement and provides a reference solution for solving the problem of continuous energy supply in marine unmanned vessel platforms.
