Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of surveying equipment technology, specifically to a waterborne surveying device for engineering surveying. Background Technology

[0002] In engineering surveying fields such as water conservancy projects, waterway regulation, and reservoir area exploration, marine surveying is the core operational method for obtaining data on water topography, water depth, and shoreline. Its operational accuracy and efficiency directly determine the quality of engineering design and construction. Currently, marine surveying mostly relies on traditional surveying vessels or simple floating carriers for operations. The core operational requirements are focused on full-coverage, blind-spot-free detection, hull stability under complex working conditions, and protection of surveying components. However, existing equipment cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of adaptability and accuracy.

[0003] However, during the use of existing surveying equipment, when operating on water, the bolts are easily loosened and the adhesive layer is easily detached, which can cause the protective cover to shift or even fall off. This makes it impossible to provide continuous and effective protection for the internal surveying elements, which can easily cause damage to the elements or data acquisition deviations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an underwater surveying device for engineering surveying. By setting up a protective part, it solves the problem that in the use of existing surveying devices, when the devices are subjected to wind and waves and water flow, the bolts are easy to loosen and the adhesive layer is easy to fall off, which leads to the protective cover being easy to shift or even fall off. This makes it impossible to provide continuous and effective protection for the internal surveying elements, and it is easy to cause damage to the elements or data acquisition deviation.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This invention relates to an underwater surveying device for engineering surveying, comprising a hull and a sealing cover plate disposed on the top of the hull. The surveying device is disposed on the top of the hull. The device further comprises: a protective section disposed on the hull; a stabilizing section mounted on the hull; the protective section includes a protective component disposed on the hull; and a mounting component mounted on the hull. The protective component includes an electrically operated telescopic rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the hull, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a fixing plate. A protective cover is disposed on the top of the fixing plate, and the surveying device is fixed to the top of the fixing plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the stabilizing component includes a transmission assembly disposed on the hull; and an extension assembly mounted on the hull, with the transmission assembly disposed inside the hull and the extension assembly extending outside the hull.

[0007] Furthermore, the installation assembly includes a connecting rod extending through a fixed plate, a limiting block fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod, a limiting groove formed on the connecting rod, and a connecting member provided on the protective cover. The connecting rod extends through the protective cover, and the connecting member includes a limiting plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the protective cover. The connecting rod extends through the limiting plate, and the limiting groove is adapted to the limiting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a motor bracket fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hull, a driving component is provided on the motor bracket, a bidirectional threaded rod is provided in the hull, and two sliding plates are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod. The two sliding plates are arranged in a mirror image. The driving component includes a motor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the motor bracket. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod through a coupling. The motor is fixed to the inner wall of the hull through the motor bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the extension assembly includes several connecting rods 2 disposed within the hull, and several hinge plates disposed within the hull. The bottoms of the two connecting rods 2 located at both ends are fixedly connected to fixed frames, and each of the two fixed frames is provided with a suspending element. The corresponding two connecting rods 2 are respectively fixedly and rotatably connected to the sliding plate. The several hinge plates are hinged together. The suspending element includes two floating balls fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two fixed frames. The two floating balls are used to assist the hull in floating on the water surface.

[0010] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention features a protective section with a plug-in snap-fit ​​fixing method. During installation, the protective cover is first precisely placed on the corresponding position of the fixing plate. After aligning the pre-drilled holes, the connecting rod is inserted into the pre-drilled hole. During insertion, the connecting rod presses against the limiting plate to open it. The connecting rod continues to be inserted until the limiting plate slides into the limiting groove and completes the snap-fit ​​engagement. The limiting groove locks the connecting rod by limiting the limiting plate, thereby achieving a stable connection between the protective cover and the fixing plate. This can withstand the turbulence of wind and waves and the impact of water flow during water operations, preventing the protective cover from loosening and falling off, and effectively ensuring the protective stability of the surveying elements.

[0011] 2. This invention, by setting up a stabilizing component, allows the electric telescopic mast to be activated when encountering high-altitude areas to be measured or blind spots in the hull after it enters the water for operation. This simultaneously addresses the instability caused by the telescopic mast's elevation. By activating the motor built into the motor bracket, the bidirectional threaded rod is driven to rotate, causing the two sliding plates to move away from each other along the bracket. The sliding plates pull the corresponding connecting rod two outwards synchronously, and the connecting rod two drives the hinge plate in linkage. Utilizing the hinged engagement between the hinge plates, multiple sets of hinge plates extend synchronously, thereby pushing the floating balls on both sides outwards to increase the distance between them. This achieves hull stability adjustment and stabilization. The distance between the floating balls is automatically adjusted by the motor drive. The larger the distance, the stronger the lateral stability of the hull, effectively resisting the center of gravity shift caused by the telescopic mast's elevation and preventing the hull from tilting and capsizing.

[0012] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention is an engineering surveying waterborne surveying device, including a hull 111 and a sealing cover plate 112 disposed on the top of the hull 111. A surveying device 113 is disposed on the top of the hull 111. It also includes: a protective part 2 disposed on the hull 111; and a stabilizing part 3 mounted on the hull 111. The protective unit 2 includes a protective component 21, which is mounted on the hull 111; and a mounting component 22, which is mounted on the hull 111. The protective component 21 includes an electric telescopic rod 211 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the hull 111. A fixing plate 212 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 211. A protective cover 213 is provided on the top of the fixing plate 212. The surveying device 113 is fixed to the top of the fixing plate 212. The mounting component 22 includes a connecting rod 221 passing through the fixing plate 212. The bottom of the connecting rod 221 is fixed. The connecting rod 221 has a limit groove 223 and a connecting block 222. The protective cover 213 is equipped with a connecting member. The connecting rod 221 passes through the protective cover 213. The connecting member includes a limit plate 224 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the protective cover 213. The connecting rod 221 passes through the limit plate 224. The limit groove 223 is adapted to the limit plate 224. By setting the protective part 2, it can resist the turbulence of wind and waves and the impact of water flow during water operations, prevent the protective cover 213 from loosening and falling off, and effectively ensure the protective stability of the protective cover 213 for the surveying element.

[0018] The stabilizing component 3 includes a transmission assembly 31, which is mounted on the hull 111; and an extension assembly 32, which is also mounted on the hull 111. The transmission assembly 31 is located inside the hull 111, and the extension assembly 32 extends to the outside of the hull 111. The transmission assembly 31 includes a motor bracket 311 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hull 111, and a driving component is mounted on the motor bracket 311. A bidirectional threaded rod 313 is located inside the hull 111, and two sliding plates 314 are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 313. The two sliding plates 314 are arranged in a mirror image. The driving component includes a motor 312 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the motor bracket 311. The output shaft of the motor 312 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 313 via a coupling. The motor 312 is fixed to the inner wall of the hull 111 via the motor bracket 311. The extension component 32 includes several connecting rods 321 disposed within the hull 111. Several hinge plates 322 are disposed within the hull 111. The bottoms of the two connecting rods 321 at both ends are fixedly connected to the fixing frames 323. Suspension components are disposed on the two fixing frames 323. The corresponding two connecting rods 321 are respectively fixedly and rotatably connected to the sliding plate 314. The several hinge plates 322 are hinged together. Optional accessories include two floating balls 324 fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two fixing frames 323. The two floating balls 324 are used to assist the hull 111 in floating on the water surface. By setting the stabilizing part 3, the spacing of the floating balls 324 is automatically adjusted by the motor 312. The larger the spacing, the stronger the lateral stability of the hull, effectively resisting the center of gravity shift caused by the raising of the telescopic rod, and avoiding the hull tilting and capsizing.

[0019] The main body of the surveying device 113 is a HiBeam 410 multibeam echo sounder from HiTarget. Its operation involves mounting the echo sounder on the device's liftable working platform, adjusting its height via an electric telescopic boom. During operation, the device adjusts the height of the boom according to the water depth and blind spots, simultaneously activating the adaptive stability adjustment system. This system uses a motor, bidirectional threaded rod, and hinged plate linkage to extend floating balls on both sides, widening the gap and ensuring the stability of the vessel. The echo sounder simultaneously receives data from the device's positioning module, completing water depth and bottom topography scanning. Benefits include: the liftable structure adapts to the echo sounder's detection needs in different water depth scenarios, avoiding blind spots in shallow areas and raised areas, thus improving the depth measurement coverage; the adaptive stability adjustment ensures stable operation of the echo sounder during lifting operations and in windy and wave conditions, reducing beam offset caused by vessel tilting and improving depth measurement data accuracy; and the device's protective structure effectively resists the impact of water flow and turbulence on the echo sounder, preventing component loosening and extending equipment lifespan. It is suitable for high-precision depth measurement operations in complex waters such as large rivers and reservoirs.

[0020] In use, first fix the protective cover 213 to the fixing plate 212. When fixing, first place the protective cover 213 on the fixing plate 212, then align the pre-drilled holes on the protective cover 213 and the fixing plate 212. Then insert the connecting rod 221 into the pre-drilled hole. As the connecting rod 221 is inserted, it will contact the limiting plate 224. Upon contact, the connecting rod 221 will open the limiting plate 224, allowing it to slide into the limiting groove 223. At this point, the limiting groove 223 will limit the limiting plate 224, thus fixing the connecting rod 221. When the connecting rod 221 is fixed, the protective cover 213 will also be fixed simultaneously. After fixing, first place the hull 111 in the water. During subsequent use, if encountering a high surface or an area that cannot be detected, the electric telescopic rod 2 can be activated. 11. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 211 will rise upwards. As it rises, the hull 111 will become unstable. At this time, the motor 312 on the inner wall of the motor bracket 311 can be activated. When the motor 312 rotates, it will cause the bidirectional threaded rod 313 to rotate as well. When the bidirectional threaded rod 313 rotates, it will cause the two slide plates 314 to move away from each other. When the two slide plates 314 move away from each other, they will cause the corresponding two connecting rods 321 to move away from each other. When the two connecting rods 321 move away from each other, they will cause the corresponding hinge plates 322 to move. During the movement, the included angle between the hinge plates 322 will change. Since the hinge plates 322 are all hinged together, when the two middle hinge plates 322 extend, the hinge plates 322 on both sides will also extend. When they extend, the floating balls 324 on both sides will be pushed out. The farther the distance between the two floating balls 324 is, the more stable the hull 111 will be, thus achieving the effect of stabilizing the hull 111.
