Underwater Vehicles are very important underwater operation equipment, and a new underwater vehicle is designed in order to realize the measurement of the ship draft. The design is based on the ROV(Remote Operated Vehicle) structure, and the mobile power supply and the upper computer are mounted on the underwater vehicle body, aiming to accomplish the task of disconnecting the underwater vehicle from the cable under complex sea conditions. In this paper, the system communication and power supply scheme design, thruster arrangement, the center of gravity and floating center position design, and 3D model design are completed in turn to obtain a structural design scheme of the underwater vehicle based on the actual engineering background. Subsequently, the strength check of the overall frame was carried out based on ANSYS WORKBENCH, which proved that the material selection and structural design met the reliability requirements. Finally, the hydrodynamic characteristics of the robot were analyzed using ANSYS CFD.
