Abstract
A multihull module is provided. The multihull module includes multiple power floats, an actuation interface controller, and a vehicle controller. The power floats are disposed on a vehicle. The actuation interface controller is coupled to the power floats, and is configured to control the power floats. The vehicle controller is coupled to the actuation interface controller, and is configured to provide a control signal to the actuation interface controller. The actuation interface controller controls the power floats according to the control signal.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A multihull module, comprising:
a plurality of power floats disposed on a vehicle, wherein a number of the power floats is at least four; an actuation interface controller coupled to the power floats and configured to control the power floats; and a vehicle controller coupled to the actuation interface controller and configured to provide a control signal to the actuation interface controller, wherein the actuation interface controller controls the power floats according to the control signal.
2 . The multihull module according to claim 1 , wherein the actuation interface controller is coupled to the power floats in a wireless manner, and is coupled to the vehicle controller in a wired manner.
3 . The multihull module according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a power distributor coupled to the actuation interface controller and the vehicle controller, wherein the power floats are coupled to the power distributor in a wired manner, and a plurality of battery units of the power floats output a plurality of first power signals to the power distributor, wherein the power distributor outputs a plurality of second power signals to a plurality of motor units of the power floats according to the first power signals to drive the motor units of the power floats.
4 . The multihull module according to claim 3 , wherein the power distributor outputs a third power signal to the actuation interface controller, and outputs a fourth power signal to the vehicle controller, wherein the third power signal is different from the fourth power signal.
5 . The multihull module according to claim 4 , wherein the power distributor further outputs a fifth power signal,
wherein the third power signal and the fourth power signal are respectively DC signals, and the fifth power signal is an AC signal.
6 . The multihull module according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an image sensor coupled to the vehicle controller and configured to generate an image sensing signal; and an image transmission module coupled to the vehicle controller and configured to transmit the image sensing signal to an external processing unit.
7 . The multihull module according to claim 1 , wherein the power floats respectively comprise:
a float body configured to provide buoyancy; and a propulsion system disposed at a stern of the float body, wherein the propulsion system comprises a propeller.
8 . The multihull module according to claim 7 , wherein the power floats respectively further comprise:
a transverse propulsion system disposed on a hull of the float body, wherein the propulsion system is a multi-steering propulsion system.
9 . The multihull module according to claim 1 , wherein the power floats comprise a first power float and a second power float, the first power float and the second power float are disposed along a traveling direction of a hull, and the first power float is disposed in front of the second power float,
wherein a distance between the second power float and the first power float is greater than a preset length, so that the second power float is disposed outside a wake influence area of the first power float.
10 . The multihull module according to claim 1 , wherein the multihull module is an unmanned ship, and is configured to be provided with an unmanned aerial vehicle and an underwater detection vehicle.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
