APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATIC CONTROLLING POSITION OF UNDERWATER VEHICLE

摘要

Disclosed is an automatic position control apparatus for an unmanned underwater vehicle which can automatically control the position of the unmanned underwater vehicle and can be effectively applied to a small unmanned underwater vehicle. The automatic position control apparatus for an unmanned underwater vehicle according to the present invention comprises: a sensor which detects the position of a hull; a weight body arranged inside the hull; a vertical-direction operation unit moving the weight body in the vertical direction of the hull; a horizontal-direction operation unit moving the weight body in the horizontal direction of the hull; and a control unit controlling the vertical-direction operation unit and the horizontal-direction operation unit according to the position of the hull detected by the sensor. Accordingly, workability can be greatly improved while reducing manufacturing costs and human resources as the position of the unmanned underwater vehicle can be automatically controlled only with an inner device without an additional exterior propeller.
