The invention relates to a docking device for underwater sample transfer, which comprises a sampling pipe clamped by an ROV manipulator and an actuator mounted on an underwater platform, and when an ROV is docked with the underwater platform, the sampling pipe extends into the actuator and is fixed. The device is compact and reasonable in structure and convenient to operate, the sampling pipe and the actuator work in cooperation, the sampling pipe automatically completes the butt joint action along with seawater flowing through the negative pressure characteristic of water flow, and the operation difficulty of the ROV mechanical arm is lowered; on the premise that the ROV does not need to be in butt joint with the underwater platform, the sampling pipe can be transferred, collision between the ROV and the underwater platform is avoided, and the operation safety is improved; due to the fact that the water flow has no directional limitation problem, when the ROV and the underwater platform are in a relative floating state, the device can still achieve the butt joint function of the sampling pipe.
本发明涉及一种用于水下样品转运的对接装置,包括被ROV机械手夹持的采样管、以及安装在水下平台上的作动器,ROV与水下平台对接时,采样管伸入作动器中,并固定;本发明结构紧凑、合理,操作方便,通过采样管和作动器两部分配合工作,利用水流负压特性使采样管跟随海水流动自动完成对接动作,降低了ROV机械手的操作难度;在不需要ROV与水下平台对接的前提下即可实现采样管的转运,避免了ROV与水下平台发生碰撞,提高了作业安全性;由于水流没有方向性的限制问题,所以在ROV与水下平台处于相对浮动状态时,本装置仍能够实现对采样管的对接功能。
