DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF UNDERWATER VEHICLE VERTICAL MOVEMENT METHOD BY MEANS OF SOLAR ENERGY USING CONTROL OF ITS BUOYANCY Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B63B22/00 B63G8/24 

FIELD: shipbuilding.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of shipbuilding, in particular to underwater vehicles used in solving research and exploration tasks in the non-freezing waters of seas and inland waters. Device is proposed for vertical movement of an underwater vehicle by means of solar energy, using the control of its buoyancy, acting on its displacing volume by pressure of an elastic vapor gas of low-boiling liquid placed between the moving parts of the displacement structure of the underwater vehicle. Process of evaporation of the working fluid is activated by increasing its temperature due to heat transfer from the solar battery, which makes it possible to increase the rate of the process of evaporation of the working fluid and to increase the vapor pressure which is used to control the displacement of the displacement volume. Change in the controlled volume is obtained through the sliding displacement structure and fixing its extreme positions.

EFFECT: technical result consists in improving the operational characteristics of the underwater vehicle.
