Abstract
The present invention discloses a flexible dynamic capturing system for an underwater moving carrier, including a shell, a front-end flexible guide apparatus, at least one tail flexible hand clamping and fastening apparatus, and a bottom retracting apparatus fastened in the shell. The front-end flexible guiding apparatus includes several flexible arms, the several flexible arms are fastened on a first rigid base in a circumferential array. The flexible arms can bend to an inner side and outer side of a circumference respectively when driven. Each tail flexible hand clamping and fastening apparatus includes several flexible claws, and the several flexible claws are divided into two groups and fastened on a second rigid base. When the flexible claws are driven, the two groups of flexible claws can bend and wind relative to each other. The bottom retracting apparatus implements lifting or lowering of the front-end flexible guide apparatus and the tail flexible hand clamping and fastening apparatus. The flexible dynamic capturing system for the present invention can capture underwater moving carriers of different diameters, and can be retracted and stored with a compact volume.
