AUTONOMOUS UNINHABITED UNDERWATER VEHICLE FOR CLEANING MARINE AREAS FROM FLOATING UNDERWATER OBJECTS Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B63G5/00 B63G6/00 B63G9/00 B63G13/00 

FIELD: marine autonomous devices.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to marine technical devices and is intended for the search and localization of floating underwater objects. An autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicle for cleaning marine areas from floating underwater objects is an underwater net laying transporter that has a container with a network laid in it, damping and contact devices, control instruments, a power plant and/or a current source, an engine, propulsion, rudders, a depth gauge and a course indicator, devices for entering route assignments into control instruments. The control of the network setting is performed by turning the locking tabs at the ends of the rods, which coincide in shape and size with the shaped slots in the bushings of the containers located on their lid and bottom, with the help of which the containers are attached to the rods. The net is placed in each container, pulled out after the container lid comes off under the pressure of the oncoming water flow with the help of the lid and the exhaust chute attached to it, and is stretched to the working position with the help of the net slings. The container has an inflatable buoy with a signal device and a tightening cord attached at one end to the inflatable buoy, and the other through a ring to the slings of the net to pull it and the floating underwater objects caught in the net into a bag. The gas generator is driven by a cord attached to it and the lid of the next container, and in the last container to the fairing.

EFFECT: ensuring the cleaning of marine areas from floating underwater objects, including mine-like ones that pose an environmental hazard and a threat to navigation.
