A Device for Coupling between a Crane Cable and an Unmanned Surface Vehicle for the Launch and Recovery of an Unmanned Surface Vehicle from a Host Ship

摘要

A device for coupling a crane cable of a mother vessel for launching and recovering an unmanned vessel and the unmanned vessel of the present invention includes: a coupling unit having a wing unit selectively extending and extruding along a circumference and moving upward and downward by being connected to the crane equipped in the mother vessel; a receiving unit equipped in the unmanned vessel, having a coupling hole penetrated in a vertical direction, and receiving at least a part of the coupling unit inside the coupling hole; and a guide unit for guiding the coupling unit to be coupled to the receiving unit, which includes a lengthy towing rope to be coupled to the coupling unit while one side of the towing rope penetrates through the coupling hole and a winch connected to the other side of the towing rope to selectively wind or unwind the towing rope. The wing unit is extended while being inserted into the receiving unit, thereby preventing the separation of the coupling unit and the receiving unit and enabling the unmanned vessel to be moved upward and downward by the crane.
