PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an underwater docking system of an autonomous unmanned diving machine which can dock the autonomous unmanned diving machine to an underwater station from any directions in 360 degrees.SOLUTION: An underwater docking system comprises an underwater station supported to a base station having a frame body which is supported to a base table, and has a disc shape which is parallel with a horizontal plane, and an autonomous unmanned diving machine which is docked to the underwater station while cruising so as to pass an upper part of the frame body. The autonomous unmanned diving machine has: a diving machine main body; a capture arm which is arranged at a lower part of the diving machine main body, whose one end is connected to the diving machine main body so as to be turnable in a fore-and-aft direction, and in which an engagement hook engaged with the frame body is arranged at the other end; and a lock mechanism which is locked to a front side portion of the frame body in a cruising direction when the engagement hook is engaged with a rear side portion of the frame body in the cruising direction, and the diving machine main body approximates the frame body while the capture arm turns rearward.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】自律型無人潜水機が360度どの方向からでも水中ステーションにドッキングすることができる自律型無人潜水機の水中ドッキングシステムを提供する。【解決手段】水中ドッキングシステムは、基台に支持された水平面と平行な円形状の枠体を有する水中ステーションと、枠体の上方を通過するように航走しながら水中ステーションにドッキングする自律型無人潜水機とを備え、自律型無人潜水機は、潜水機本体と、潜水機本体の下部に設けられた捕捉アームであって、その一端が潜水機本体に前後方向に回動可能に連結されており、その他端に枠体と係合する係合フックが設けられた捕捉アームと、航走方向における枠体の後方側部分に係合フックが係合して、捕捉アームが後方に回動しながら潜水機本体が枠体に近づいたときに、航走方向における枠体の前方側部分に係止する係止機構と、を有する。【選択図】図1
