[0002] Shipboard-mounted measurement refers to the measurement of specific parameters by installing probes and other equipment on the outside of a ship's hull. It is usually carried out using a simple shipboard-mounting method, using various types of measuring rods and steel wire ropes to fix the measuring probes to the ship's hull. It is a common marine, hydrological, and scientific research measurement method with wide applications.

[0003] However, traditional installation methods make the measuring probe prone to vibration when subjected to navigational disturbances, wave impacts, and accidental collisions. This can cause the measuring probe to shift at a certain frequency, affecting the accuracy of underwater measurements. In addition, it may also cause the fastening components to loosen, causing the measuring rod to fall off or the underwater equipment to exceed its vibration limit and be damaged, resulting in huge economic losses.

The support arm assembly 2 includes a first support arm 201 and a second support arm 202. Preferably, the length of the first support arm 201 is twice the length of the second support arm 202. One end of the first support arm 201 is connected to the measuring probe 1, and the other end is provided with a guide pulley 203. One end of the second support arm 202 is connected to the measuring probe, and the other end is connected to the first support arm 201. Preferably, when the first arm 201 is connected to the second arm 202, the second arm 202 is located above the first arm 201; the hanging ring assembly 3 includes a top hanging ring 301, a bottom hanging ring 302 and multiple ship connection hanging rings 303. The top hanging ring 301 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the measuring probe 1 and away from the connecting flange 101. The bottom hanging ring 302 and multiple ship connection hanging rings 303 are evenly disposed along the outer peripheral surface of the measuring probe 1 and are all close to the connecting flange 101. The connection structure includes multiple steel wire ropes 4. The top hanging ring 301 is connected to the bottom hanging ring 302 through the steel wire ropes 4, and the steel wire ropes 4 pass through the guide pulley 203 of the first arm 201. The multiple ship connection hanging rings 303 are respectively connected to the ship 8 through the steel wire ropes 4.

[0027] The basic working principle of the installation mechanism for the shipboard load-bearing measurement equipment involved in this utility model is as follows: In use, by setting up a connecting structure, the probe structure can be fixed on the ship 8. By setting up the probe structure, the probe and other equipment can be connected to the measuring probe 1 and a foundation can be provided for fixing the shipboard load-bearing measurement equipment. Specifically, by setting up the support arm assembly 2 and the hanging ring assembly 3, the wire rope 4 connects the top hanging ring 301 and the bottom hanging ring 302 together through the guide pulley 203, which can increase the tension applied to the shipboard load-bearing measurement equipment. The ship connecting hanging ring 303 is fixedly connected to the ship 8 through the wire rope 4, which can realize the fixation of the shipboard load-bearing measurement equipment from multiple directions.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 4 The present invention will be further described below with reference to a specific embodiment:

[0029] In this embodiment, see Figure 1As a preferred design, the connection structure also includes a sleeve base 5, a connecting rod 6, and a clamp 7. The sleeve base 5 is fixedly installed on the vessel 8. Specifically, the sleeve base 5 is fixedly installed on the vessel 8 by bolts. One end of the connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the clamp 7, and the other end passes through the sleeve base 5 and is fixed to the sleeve base 5 by a fastening assembly. Preferably, the length extension direction of the connecting rod 6 is perpendicular to the length extension direction of the measuring probe 1. The measuring probe 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6 by the clamp 7. The structure is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, the performance is safe and reliable, the operation is convenient and quick, and the parts are easy to disassemble and replace, which can improve the installation efficiency.

[0030] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 As a preferred design, bolt holes are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve base 5. The fastening assembly includes a fastening bolt 501, which passes through the bolt hole and can fasten the connecting rod 6. The fastening bolt 501 can accurately control the preload, ensure tight connection, and avoid overload or loosening.

[0031] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 As a preferred design, a through hole 601 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the end of the connecting rod 6 away from the clamp 7. An anti-detachment bolt is fixedly connected in the through hole 601. The length of the anti-detachment bolt is greater than the inner diameter of the sleeve base 5. When the fastening bolt 501 fails due to accident, the anti-detachment bolt can prevent the connecting rod 6 and the measuring probe 1 from falling off the sleeve base 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 As a preferred design, one end of the first arm 201 is hinged to the measuring probe 1, and one end of the second arm 202 is hinged to the measuring probe 1. The other end is fixedly connected to the midpoint of the first arm 201 by bolts. On the one hand, during storage, the first arm 201 and the second arm 202 can be folded together with the measuring probe 1 by loosening the bolts, which is convenient for storage and transportation. On the other hand, connecting the other end of the second arm 202 to the midpoint of the first arm 201 can distribute the external force to both sides of the first arm 201, reduce stress concentration on one side, and improve the bending and torsional resistance of the overall structure of the arm assembly 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 As a preferred design, a flow-guiding spiral fin 102 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the measuring probe 1. Preferably, the flow-guiding spiral fin 102 is located between the connection between the second support arm 202 and the measuring probe 1 and the connecting flange 101. During dynamic measurement, the flow-guiding spiral fin 102 can reduce the vibration of the underwater probe and ensure the high precision requirements of underwater measurement.

[0034] In this embodiment, see Figure 1As a preferred design, a bubble level 103 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the end of the measuring probe 1 away from the connecting flange 101. By observing the position of the bubble on the bubble level 103, the horizontal or vertical position of the probe can be determined.

[0035] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 As a preferred design, the wire rope 4 is equipped with a basket tensioner 401 for tightening the wire rope 4. The basket tensioner 401 can quickly tighten or loosen the wire rope 4 to keep it in the best stress state, avoid swaying due to being too loose or breaking due to being too tight, and can also effectively compensate for thermal expansion and contraction or natural relaxation.

[0036] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 As a preferred design, three ship connection rings 303 are provided. The bottom ring 302 and the three ship connection rings 303 are evenly arranged along the outer circumference of the measuring probe 1 and are close to the connecting flange 101. They are fixed from four directions, making the force distribution more uniform, avoiding local stress concentration, preventing the structure from twisting or tilting due to asymmetrical force, and improving resistance to lateral forces.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, the mounting mechanism for shipboard-mounted measuring equipment of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] Compared to traditional installation methods, this application achieves multi-directional fixed mounting of measuring equipment by setting up probe structures and connection structures, avoiding vibrations caused by navigation disturbances, wave impacts and accidental collisions, which can significantly improve detection accuracy. At the same time, it can also ensure the stability of probes and other equipment underwater. The structure is simple, easy and quick to operate, low in manufacturing cost and safe and reliable in performance.

[0039] In summary, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0040] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
