[0002] The towed high-speed response temperature, salinity, and depth sensor is a precision instrument used for marine environmental monitoring. It is mainly used to measure three key parameters of seawater in real time: temperature, salinity, and depth. Its core function is to provide important data for marine scientific research, resource exploration, and environmental monitoring by rapidly and accurately collecting seawater physicochemical data.

[0003] Existing sensor bodies lack sufficient fixing and sealing performance, making them prone to loosening or water ingress during high-speed towing, affecting measurement accuracy and stability; traditional structures lack effective quick disassembly and assembly mechanisms, making sensor maintenance and replacement cumbersome; the upper and lower covers have a single matching method, lacking elastic buffering and multiple limiting designs, making it difficult to adapt to the impacts and vibrations in complex marine environments; therefore, a towed high-speed response temperature, salinity, and depth sensor is proposed.

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0023] Example

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a towed high-speed response temperature-salinity depth sensor, comprising:

[0025] The lower cover 101, the placement plate 102 placed on the surface of the lower cover 101, the sensor body 103 snapped onto the side surface of the lower cover 101, and the upper cover 104 snapped onto the surface of the lower cover 101.

[0026] The lower cover 101 includes a base plate 101a, a slot 101b formed on the surface of the base plate 101a, and a stop block 101c fixedly connected to the side surface of the base plate 101a. The surface of the stop block 101c is provided with a groove.

[0027] The sensor body 103 is snapped into the center of the slot 101b, and the sensor body 103 is in contact with the surface of the placement plate 102.

[0028] The upper cover 104 includes a top plate 104a, an encapsulation plate 104b used in conjunction with the lower cover 101, an elastic plate 104c fixedly connected to the side surface of the encapsulation plate 104b, a fixing component 104d fixedly installed on the side surface of the elastic plate 104c, a limiting component 104e used in conjunction with the fixing component 104d, and a sealing strip 104f snapped onto the side surface of the top plate 104a.

[0029] The sealing strip 104f is sleeved on the side surface of the elastic plate 104c, and the encapsulation plate 104b is in contact with the side surface of the sensor body 103 and is sealed.

[0030] Specifically, during use, the sensor body 103 is first precisely inserted into the center of the slot 101b of the bottom plate 101a of the lower cover 101, ensuring stable contact with the placement plate 102. Then, the upper cover 104 is aligned with the lower cover 101 for assembly, ensuring the encapsulation plate 104b tightly adheres to the side surface of the sensor body 103, forming a preliminary seal. During the closing process, the elastic plate 104c deforms under pressure, causing the fixing component 104d to move. The rotating rod 104d-4 and the support rod 104d-5, along with the spring 104d-7, automatically lock in place. Simultaneously, the gear 104e-2 and rack 104e-1 of the limiting component 104e mesh to ensure accurate positioning. Finally, the sealing strip 104f completes a secondary seal on the side surface of the elastic plate 104c, forming a multi-layered protective structure that allows the sensor to maintain stable operation during high-speed towing, enabling real-time acquisition of temperature, salinity, and depth data.

[0031] The fixing assembly 104d includes a mounting block 104d-1 fixedly connected to the side wall of the elastic plate 104c, an operating groove 104d-2 formed on the side wall of the mounting block 104d-1, a glue groove 104d-3 formed on the side surface of the elastic plate 104c, a rotating rod 104d-4 inserted into the inner cavity of the glue groove 104d-3, a support rod 104d-5 hinged to the outer surface of the rotating rod 104d-4, a plug-in rod 104d-6 sleeved on the end of the rotating rod 104d-4, and a spring 104d-7 sleeved on the outside of the plug-in rod 104d-6.

[0032] The limiting component 104e includes a rack 104e-1 fixedly connected to the side surface of the mounting block 104d-1, and a gear 104e-2 used in conjunction with the rack 104e-1. The gear 104e-2 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the top plate 104a, and the rack 104e-1 is inserted into the side wall of the top plate 104a.

[0033] It should be noted that when the upper cover 104 and the lower cover 101 are closed, the elastic plate 104c is pressed and pushes the mounting block 104d-1 to move, causing the rotating rod 104d-4 to rotate in the glue groove 104d-3, which unfolds the hinged support rod 104d-5 and pushes the plug rod 104d-6 to extend outward. At the same time, the spring 104d-7 is compressed and stores energy. Meanwhile, the rack 104e-1 on the side of the mounting block 104d-1 meshes with the gear 104e-2 on the top plate 104a, forming a progressive limit to ensure a smooth and precise closing process. When fully closed, the rebound force of the spring 104d-7 locks the plug rod 104d-6 into place, and the meshing state of the gear 104e-2 and rack 104e-1 provides double locking, forming a stable mechanical fixing structure that effectively prevents the sensor from loosening or shifting during towing operations.

[0034] During use, the sensor body 103 is precisely positioned by the cooperation of the slot 101b of the lower cover 101 and the stop block 101c. When the upper cover 104 is assembled, the encapsulation plate 104b and the elastic plate 104c work together to form multiple seals. The fixing component 104d is driven by the elastic plate 104c to rotate the rotating rod 104d-4, which drives the support rod 104d-5 to unfold and compress the spring 104d-7. This, together with the gear 104e-2 and the rack 104e-1 limiting component 104e, achieves progressive locking. When fully closed, the spring 104d-7's rebound force and the gear 104e-2 and rack 104e-1 mesh together to form a double mechanical lock, ensuring the structural stability of the sensor under high-speed towing conditions. At the same time, the sealing system composed of the sealing strip 104f and the encapsulation plate 104b effectively prevents seawater from seeping in, ensuring that the sensor can work stably for a long time in complex marine environments and accurately collect temperature, salinity, and depth data.

[0035] In summary, the 101b slot positioning and multi-seal structure ensure the sensor's stability and waterproofness during high-speed towing; the automatic locking mechanism driven by the elastic plate 104c, combined with the gear 104e-2 and rack 104e-1 limit system, achieves fast and reliable assembly locking; the linkage mechanism of the rotating rod 104d-4, support rod 104d-5, and spring 104d-7 provides double mechanical fixation, effectively resisting impacts and vibrations in the marine environment; the overall design balances ease of installation and operational reliability, significantly improving the sensor's measurement accuracy and service life, making it suitable for long-term monitoring operations in various marine environments.
