Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of underwater detection equipment, and particularly relates to an intelligent adjustable bracket with a short baseline length for underwater detection. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of science and technology and the gradual depletion of land resources, the exploration, research, and development of the deep sea by humans will be a hot area of competition among countries in the world in the 21st century. And underwater acoustic technology is the core technology for underwater geographical mapping, underwater resource investigation, underwater climate monitoring, marine biological protection, territorial demarcation, modern navigation safety guarantee, and deep-sea engineering. Underwater positioning and navigation technology is the basic premise for all marine development activities and the development of marine high-tech. The development and military needs in the marine field have promoted the development of underwater high-precision positioning technology. The application development and technical research of ultra-short baseline acoustic positioning systems play an important role in modern marine science. Among them, the acoustic transducer is the "eye" of the ultra-short baseline acoustic positioning system, and the stability of its performance directly determines the stability of the entire acoustic system. However, it is often directly exposed to various harsh underwater environments and is easily damaged by corrosion, collision, etc., resulting in the impact of its stability. In addition, the larger the half-power point beam opening angles of the transmitting transducer and the receiving transducer in the horizontal and vertical directions in the existing acoustic transducers, the wider the detection range and the higher the positioning clarity. However, most of the existing acoustic transducers are fixedly connected through brackets, and the short baseline length formed between the oppositely arranged acoustic transducers is fixed, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the short baseline length according to the actual situation to achieve different detection purposes, and the flexibility of use is not good.

[0003] In order to solve the deficiencies of the existing technology, people have carried out long-term explorations and proposed various solutions. For example, a Chinese patent document discloses a sound head device based on the iTrack-UB series ultra-short baseline underwater acoustic positioning system [CN201510846463.4], which includes a transmitting transducer, a receiving transducer, an electronic compartment, and a circuit board. The transmitting transducer is assembled by connecting two hemispheres with the same polarization direction in parallel, and the receiving transducer is assembled by connecting two hemispheres with opposite polarization directions in series to improve its receiving sensitivity. The transmitting transducer and four receiving transducers are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the electronic compartment through through-hole screws. The cable passes through the wire hole and the through-hole screw and is led from the piezoelectric ceramic ball to the electronic compartment and connected to the circuit board inside the electronic compartment.

[0004] The above solution solves to a certain extent the problem that the acoustic transducer in the existing technology is easily affected by the water quality environment, resulting in a decrease in its stability. However, this solution still has many deficiencies. For example, it is difficult to flexibly adjust the short baseline length according to the actual situation to achieve different detection purposes, and the flexibility of use is not good.

Specific embodiments

[0031] The following further elaborates on the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] As Figures 1-6 shown, the intelligent adjustable short baseline length frame for underwater detection includes an assembly base 1. A rotating connection cylinder 11 is provided on the assembly base 1, and a number of symmetrically arranged assembly crossbars 12 extending horizontally away from the assembly base 1 are circumferentially provided on the assembly base 1. A length adjustment rod 3 that can axially expand and contract along the inner circumference of the assembly crossbar 12 and has an underwater navigation and positioning system 31 vertically arranged at its end is connected to the assembly crossbar 12 through a telescopic drive mechanism 2. The length adjustment rod 3 is positioned by an electric limiting structure 4 provided at the bottom of one end of the assembly crossbar 12. By providing a telescopic drive mechanism 2 on the assembly crossbar to drive the adjustment rod 3 to expand and contract, the short baseline length between the underwater navigation and positioning systems 31 at the ends of two length adjustment rods 3 in the diagonal direction is adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the length adjustment rod 3 is limited by the electric limiting structure 4 to prevent retraction due to the influence of water pressure.

A positioning module 91 is provided at the end of the length adjustment rod 3, and the positioning module 91 is connected to an external position display screen 92. The positioning module 91 is used to observe the short baseline length between the two underwater navigation and positioning systems 31 in the diagonal direction in real time, and the controller 9 is used to adjust the telescopic length of the length adjustment rod 3.

[0035] Obviously, the electric limiting structure 4 includes a telescopic cavity 41 formed on the inner circumference of the assembly crossbar 12. Symmetrically arranged L-shaped support seats 42 are provided on both sides of the telescopic cavity 41, and a limiting channel 43 is formed in the middle of the L-shaped support seats 42. A rack limiting mechanism 44 is provided below the L-shaped support seats 42, and the rack limiting mechanism 44 is connected to a lifting drive motor 45 provided at the base of the assembly crossbar 12. The lifting drive motor 45 is connected to the controller 9. When the length adjustment of the length adjustment frame is completed, the lifting drive motor 45 drives the rack limiting mechanism 44 to rise and engage with the positioning tooth groove 32 to achieve length positioning of the length adjustment rod 3, and its limiting channel 43 is used to limit the rising height of the rack limiting mechanism 44.

[0036] Further, the rack limiting mechanism 44 includes a limiting rack 441, and a pressing seat 442 is provided at the bottom of the limiting rack 441. An axial pressing connection groove 443 is provided at the bottom of the limiting rack 441, and a connecting transverse groove 444 is vertically provided in the middle of the pressing seat 442. A pressing transverse plate 445 corresponding to the pressing connection groove 443 is provided on the pressing seat 442, and a connecting transverse plate 446 corresponding to the connecting transverse groove 444 is vertically provided in the middle of the pressing transverse plate 445. A number of connecting columns 447 for connecting the limiting rack 441 are provided on the connecting transverse plate 446 and the pressing transverse plate 445.

Such a setting enables the bottom of the limiting rack 441 to be evenly stressed and improves the positioning effect.

[0037] Visibly, the telescopic driving mechanism 2 includes a telescopic driving cylinder 21 provided on the assembly cross frame 12. The telescopic driving cylinder 21 is connected to the controller 9, and one end of the telescopic rod 22 of the telescopic driving cylinder 21 has a vertical connecting portion 23. The vertical connecting portion 23 is fixedly connected to a fixing hole 33 provided at one end of the length adjusting rod 3 away from the assembly cross frame 12. A supply pipe is provided at the tail of the telescopic driving cylinder 21 here, and the supply pipe extends to the outside along the rotating connecting cylinder 11.

[0038] Furthermore, fixing brackets 13 are provided between every two of the assembly cross frames 12. The assembly base 1 is in the shape of a cylindrical barrel, and support discs 14 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the assembly base 1. One end of the assembly cross frame 12 is inserted into the assembly base 1 and fixedly connected. The fixing brackets 13 can maintain the stability of the assembly cross frame 12.

[0039] In summary, the principle of this embodiment is as follows: By providing a length adjusting rod 3 with an underwater navigation and positioning system 31 at one end on the assembly cross frame 12, and using the telescopic driving cylinder 21 provided on the assembly cross frame 12 to drive the length adjusting rod 3 to adjust its length. After the adjustment is completed, the lifting driving motor 45 is used to make the limiting rack 441 engage and position the positioning tooth groove 32 located at the bottom of the length adjusting rod 3, so as to fix the length of the length adjusting rod 3. By setting the telescopic length of the length adjusting rod 3, the short baseline length between the underwater navigation and positioning systems 31 in the diagonal direction is controlled.

[0040] Embodiment Two

[0041] As Figures 7-13As shown in the figure, the principle of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. The difference lies in that: one end of the assembly cross frame 12 is rotatably provided with an angle adjusting rod 5, and a rod body limiting mechanism 6 is provided between two adjacent angle adjusting rods 5. The angle adjusting rod 5 is limited by an electric gear structure 7 provided at one end of the assembly cross frame 12, and a rotation adjusting assembly 8 connected to the angle adjusting rod 5 and corresponding to the electric gear structure 7 is provided on the upper side of one end of the assembly cross frame 12. By rotating the rotation adjusting assembly 8, the angle adjusting rod 5 rotates, thereby controlling the short baseline length between the underwater navigation and positioning systems 31 on the angle adjusting rods 5 in the diagonal direction. After the adjustment is completed, it is locked and positioned by the electric gear structure 7.

[0042] Among them, the rotation adjusting assembly 8 and the electric gear structure 7 are connected to an external controller 9 for data. A positioning module 91 is provided at the end of the angle adjusting rod 3, and the positioning module 91 is connected to an external position display screen 92.

[0043] Furthermore, the rotation adjusting assembly 8 includes a rotation driving motor 81 provided on the upper side of the assembly cross frame 12. The inner circumference of one end of the assembly cross frame 12 where the rotation driving motor 81 is provided has a U-shaped positioning groove 82 for the angle adjusting rod 5 to rotate. And the assembly cross frame 12 is provided with a penetration hole 83 at the upper end of the U-shaped positioning groove 82, and a limiting groove 84 is provided at the lower end of the U-shaped positioning groove 82 of the assembly cross frame 12. One end of the rotation shaft 85 of the rotation driving motor 81 passes through the penetration hole 83 and the U-shaped positioning groove 82 and is arranged in the limiting groove 84, and a linkage limiting gear 86 is provided at the end. A circular fixed connection part 87 for fixedly connecting the angle adjusting rod 5 is provided on the part of the rotation shaft 85 located in the U-shaped positioning groove 82, and a fixed connection hole 51 corresponding to the circular fixed connection part 87 is provided at one end of the angle adjusting rod 5. After the rotation driving motor is powered on, the controller 9 is used to adjust the rotation direction of the rotation shaft 85, thereby adjusting the rotation direction of the angle adjusting rod 5.

[0044] Specifically, the electric gear structure 7 includes a gear positioning motor 71 provided at the bottom of the assembly cross frame 12. One end of the positioning shaft 72 of the gear positioning motor 71 passes through the bottom of the assembly cross frame 12 and is arranged in the limiting groove 84, and a positioning gear 73 is provided at one end of the positioning shaft 72 located in the limiting groove 84. The positioning gear 73 meshes with the linkage limiting gear 86, and a positioning component 74 is provided between the positioning gear 73 and the positioning shaft 72. When the linkage limiting gear 86 rotates, the gear positioning motor 71 is in a power-off state, and the positioning gear 73 rotates synchronously with the linkage limiting gear 86. When the rotation is completed, the gear positioning motor 71 is powered on, and the positioning shaft 72 is locked, so that the positioning gear 73 locks the linkage limiting gear 86, realizing the fixation of the angle adjusting rod 5.

[0045] Preferably, the positioning component 74 includes a connecting sleeve 741 provided at one end of the positioning shaft 72. A plurality of positioning protrusion parts 742 are provided on the circumferential outer wall of the connecting sleeve 741, and a positioning gap 743 is formed between two adjacent positioning protrusion parts 742. A plurality of positioning insertion parts 744 corresponding to the positioning gaps 743 one by one are provided on the circumferential inner side of the positioning gear 73, and a plurality of positioning slots 745 for the positioning protrusion parts 742 to insert are provided between two adjacent positioning insertion parts 744. The positioning gear 73 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 741, and the positioning protrusion parts 742 and the positioning insertion parts 744 are abutted against each other.

[0046] Specifically, the rod limiting mechanism 6 includes a limiting seat 61 provided between two adjacent angle adjusting rods 5. Two ends of the circumferential inner side of the limiting seat 61 are provided with limiting damping rods 63 through connecting chutes 62, and the limiting damping rods 63 are connected by a limiting spring 64. Two ends of the limiting damping rods 63 are respectively connected to one side of the corresponding angle adjusting rod 5. The acting force of the limiting spring 64 here is greater than the rotating acting force generated by the rotating shaft 85, preventing a large acting force from being generated on an adjacent limiting damping rod 63 when one of the angle adjusting rods 5 rotates, which causes the adjacent angle adjusting rod 5 to rotate.

[0047] In summary, the principle of this embodiment is as follows: By rotatably arranging the angle adjusting rod 5 at one end of the assembly cross frame 12 and using the rotation adjusting component 8 to rotate the angle adjusting rod 5 to achieve angle adjustment. After the adjustment is completed, the gear positioning motor 71 is powered on, and the positioning shaft 72 is locked, so that the positioning gear 73 locks the linkage limiting gear 86, realizing the fixation of the angle adjusting rod 5. Among them, the rod limiting mechanism 6 is used to limit the angle between two adjacent angle adjusting rods 5. The rotation angles of the oppositely arranged angle adjusting rods 5 are different, and the short baseline lengths between the oppositely arranged underwater navigation and positioning systems 31 are different, thereby realizing the adjustment of the short baseline length.
