Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a flexible cable quick installation mechanism for a wave glider. Background Art

[0002] The wave glider is a wave-driven, solar-powered marine mobile platform that can operate for a long period of time completely with the help of natural energy. The surface float and underwater tractor of the wave glider are connected by a flexible cable. The accuracy and firmness of the flexible cable installation are very important. In addition, due to reasons such as transportation, the flexible cable and the surface float often need to be installed and disassembled. Therefore, a flexible cable quick installation mechanism is designed to ensure the accuracy and firmness of the cable connector installation of the flexible cable, so as to facilitate installation and disassembly. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a flexible cable installation mechanism that can be quickly installed.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0005] A flexible cable quick installation mechanism for a wave glider comprises a semicircular handle, a switch limit block, a round shaft, a lever clamp, a rotating shaft, a magnet housing, a magnet, a cable joint, a main housing and an auxiliary housing.

[0006] The semicircular handle is installed on the upper end of the switch limit block through a circular shaft. The switch limit block has four grooves on both sides and is installed on the top of the main shell and the auxiliary shell. The main shell and the auxiliary shell have two small bosses on the top, which serve as guide rails for the grooves of the switch limit block. The rotating shaft penetrates the main shell and the auxiliary shell. The lever clamp is installed on the rotating shaft. The inner side of the lever clamp is provided with a circular hole, on which the magnet and the magnet shell are installed. The magnet shell is welded and fixed to the lever clamp. The magnet has the same magnetic poles facing each other. The switch limit block moves up and down to cause the top of the lever clamp to rotate in the opposite direction, so as to realize the opening and closing of the lower end of the lever clamp. The opening and closing of the lower end of the lever clamp realizes the disassembly and installation of the cable joint. The switch limit block moves downward to the limit position, and the threaded holes at the centers of the tops of the main shell and the auxiliary shell are nailed to limit the switch limit block. The main shell has a wire passing opening, through which the cable passing from the cable joint is passed, and the main shell and the auxiliary shell are fixed, and the main shell and the auxiliary shell are fixed to the water surface part of the wave glider.

[0007] The advantages of the present invention are:

[0008] 1. The main shell and the auxiliary shell of the invention have four holes for fixing to the water surface float of the wave glider, which enhances the accuracy and stability of the installation of the whole mechanism and facilitates the fixation of the whole mechanism.

[0009] 2. The invention only requires simple operation to realize the opening and closing of the lever clamp, thereby realizing the installation and removal of the cable joint.

[0010] 3. The invention realizes the lever clamp from opening to closing by sliding the switch limit block downward. The switch limit block is in linear contact with the top of the lever clamp at any time when it has not moved downward to the limit position. According to the lever principle, the repulsive force between smaller magnets can be overcome.

[0011] 4. The surfaces of the contacting parts of the lever clamp and the cable joint of the invention both have a certain curvature. After the cable joint is installed, the opening of the cable joint is in close contact with the lower end of the lever clamp, thus ensuring the accuracy and stability of the installation of the cable joint.

[0012] 5. In the invention, the magnetic poles of the same name between the magnets face each other. When the switch limit block moves upward from the lower limit position, the lever clamp switches from closed to open due to the repulsive force between the magnets.

[0013] 6. A semicircular handle is provided at the upper end of the switch limit block of the invention, which facilitates the up and down movement of the switch limit block and the disassembly of the entire mechanism.

[0014] 7. The main shell of the invention has a cable guide channel to protect and limit the cables passing through the cable connector. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
