Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of deep-sea equipment technology, and in particular to a convenient maintenance cabin structure for a deep-sea camera. Background Technology

[0002] Deep-sea cameras are specialized equipment used to photograph seabed geological structures, biological activities, and ocean current dynamics. The stability of the camera's carrier directly determines the integrity of the data.

[0003] In existing technologies, deep-sea hulls mostly rely on fixed sealing rings for sealing. However, under high pressure, the compression of the sealing ring is fixed. If the external water pressure increases suddenly, the contact pressure on the sealing surface may be less than the external water pressure, leading to seawater seepage. At the same time, long-term pressure cycling will cause the sealing ring to age and lose elasticity. After the pre-tightening force decreases, the sealing gap will increase, further aggravating the risk of leakage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that in the existing static sealing method, the compression of the sealing ring is fixed under high pressure, and long-term pressure cycling will cause the sealing ring to age and lose elasticity, thus increasing the risk of leakage. The invention proposes a convenient maintenance cabin structure for deep-sea cameras.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a convenient maintenance cabin structure for a deep-sea camera, comprising an outer cabin and a propeller power assembly. A maintenance mechanism is installed inside the outer cabin, a propeller power assembly is installed at one end of the outer cabin, an observation window is installed on one side of the outer cabin, and an installation mechanism is installed at the other end of the outer cabin. The installation mechanism includes a connecting cover, a threaded compensation pipe is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting cover, a sealing ring is sleeved on the inner ring surface of the threaded compensation pipe, and the inner ring surface of the sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer cabin. A sealing compensation mechanism is installed on the inner side of the outer cabin, and the sealing compensation mechanism includes a first airbag. A connecting channel is fixedly connected to the inner ring surface of the first airbag, and a compensation airbag is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting channel. A push plate abuts against the inner ring surface of the compensation airbag, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the inner side of the push plate, a fixed sleeve plate is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod, and one end of the fixed sleeve plate is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting cover.

[0006] Preferably, a connecting plate is installed on the outside of the connecting channel, and one end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting cover.

[0007] Preferably, a compression spring is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod, and the two ends of the compression spring are installed between the outer surface of the fixed sleeve plate and the inner ring surface of the push plate.

[0020] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0021] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0022] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, this utility model provides a convenient maintenance cabin structure for a deep-sea camera, including an outer cabin 1 and a propeller power assembly 5. A maintenance mechanism 6 is installed inside the outer cabin 1. The propeller power assembly 5 is installed at one end of the outer cabin 1. An observation window 2 is installed on one side of the outer cabin 1. An installation mechanism 3 is installed at the other end of the outer cabin 1. The installation mechanism 3 includes a connecting cover 38. A threaded compensation pipe 35 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting cover 38. A sealing ring 37 is fitted onto the inner annular surface of the threaded compensation pipe 35. The inner annular surface of the sealing ring 37 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer cabin 1. A sealing compensation mechanism 4 is installed inside the outer cabin 1. The sealing compensation mechanism 4 includes a first airbag 4. 6. The inner ring surface of the first airbag 46 is fixedly connected to a connecting channel 47. One end of the connecting channel 47 is fixedly connected to a compensation airbag 48. The inner ring surface of the compensation airbag 48 abuts against a push plate 44. The inner side of the push plate 44 is fixedly connected to a telescopic rod 41. One end of the telescopic rod 41 is fixedly connected to a fixing sleeve 43. One end of the fixing sleeve 43 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting cover 38. A connecting plate 45 is installed on the outer side of the connecting channel 47. One end of the connecting plate 45 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting cover 38. A compression spring 42 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 41. The two ends of the compression spring 42 are installed between the outer surface of the fixing sleeve 43 and the inner ring surface of the push plate 44.

[0023] The sealing ring 37 is fitted onto the outside of the outer hull 1, and the inner ring surface of the threaded compensation pipe 35 fits against the sealing ring 37 to ensure an initial seal. When the hull descends to the deep sea, the external water pressure is transmitted to the first airbag 46 through the observation window 2 and the outer hull 1. The first airbag 46 is compressed and the pressure is transmitted to the compensation airbag 48 through the connecting channel 47. After being compressed, the compensation airbag 48 pushes the push plate 44 to move, causing the telescopic rod 41 to move on the fixed sleeve plate 43. At the same time, the compression spring 42 is compressed or extended, and the position of the push plate 44 is dynamically adjusted to compensate for the pressure difference between the inside and outside. The threaded compensation pipe 35 and the sealing ring 37 form an initial seal, while the pressure compensation of the airbag further seals the connection between the outer hull 1 and the connecting cover 38, enhancing the contact pressure of the sealing surface. The linkage design of the airbag and the compression spring 42 can respond to changes in deep sea water pressure in real time, avoiding hull deformation or seal failure caused by high pressure.

[0024] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, a first mounting plate 31 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer cabin 1. One end of the first mounting plate 31 is installed on one end of the sealing ring 37. A second mounting plate 34 is provided at one end of the first mounting plate 31. The second mounting plate 34 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting cover 38. The second mounting plate 34 and the first mounting plate 31 are fixedly connected by fixing bolts 36. A positioning block 32 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second mounting plate 34. An elastic locking block 33 is snapped onto the outside of the positioning block 32. One end of the elastic locking block 33 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second mounting plate 34. The maintenance mechanism 6 includes a mounting plate 61. A camera body 62 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 61, and a battery is installed on the other side of the mounting plate 61. A guide strip 63 is fixedly connected to the other side of the mounting plate 61. A guide rail 64 is slidably connected to one side of the guide strip 63. One side of the guide rail 64 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer cabin 1.

[0025] The first mounting plate 31 on the outer surface of the outer cabin 1 and the second mounting plate 34 on the outer surface of the connecting cover 38 are initially engaged and positioned by the positioning block 32 and the elastic locking block 33, and then tightened with the fixing bolt 36 to ensure precise contact of the sealing surface. The camera body 62 and the battery are integrated into the mounting plate 61. The guide strip 63 of the mounting plate 61 slides along the guide rail 64 on the inner side of the outer cabin 1 to realize the pull-out installation of the camera module, which is convenient to pull it out for maintenance and can replace faulty parts individually.

[0026] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: The first mounting plate 31 and the second mounting plate 34 are initially positioned by the positioning block 32 and the elastic locking block 33, and then tightened with the fixing bolts 36 to ensure precise contact of the sealing surfaces. The sealing ring 37 is sleeved on the outside of the outer chamber 1, and the inner ring surface of the threaded compensation pipe 35 is in contact with the sealing ring 37 to ensure initial sealing. External water pressure is transmitted to the first airbag 46 through the observation window 2 and the outer chamber 1. The first airbag 46 is compressed and the pressure is transmitted to the compensation airbag 4 through the connecting channel 47. 8. When the compensating airbag 48 is compressed, it pushes the push plate 44 to move, causing the telescopic rod 41 to move on the fixed sleeve plate 43. At the same time, it compresses or extends the compression spring 42, dynamically adjusting the position of the push plate 44 to compensate for the internal and external pressure difference, further sealing the connection between the outer cabin 1 and the connecting cover 38, and enhancing the contact pressure of the sealing surface. The camera body 62 and the battery are integrated into the mounting plate 61. The guide strip 63 of the mounting plate 61 slides along the guide rail 64 on the inner side of the outer cabin 1 to realize the pull-out installation of the camera module, making it easy to pull it out for maintenance.
