[0014] Advantages of the present invention: A drag car for underwater towing of the present invention includes a load-carrying mechanism; a first support mechanism; a second support mechanism; a connecting lug; a tension mechanism; a fixing mechanism; a lightning protection bracket; a transmission assembly; a vehicle body; a load-carrying rope; a counterweight mechanism; a fixing seat; a first load-bearing roller; a fixing ring; a mounting frame; a second load-bearing roller; a load-carrying cable; a towing cable; an installation plate; a guiding tube; a first gear; a second gear; a fixing rod; a threaded column; a lifting rod; an oil tank; a solenoid valve; an oil pump; a piston; a top plate; a movable plate; a fixed base plate; a tension spring; the ground; a tractor; a winch.
[0015] 1. When in use, the drag car for underwater towing can perform arithmetic output according to instructions and collected real-time data, so as to realize the display, information arithmetic, logical judgment, and event processing of the speed, state, braking, and information of the controlled parachuting intelligent trolley. The wireless transmission system is responsible for transmitting human instructions and trolley information to the control system in a wireless manner. The braking system is a component that provides braking force for the trolley, and the safety system provides necessary safety guarantee measures for the parachuting intelligent trolley during operation and in abnormal states.
[0016] 2. When the drag vehicle for underwater towing is in use, the support mechanism has strong tensile and wind resistance capabilities. Reinforcement plates, guying buckles and other components are welded to the top of the support mechanism, and the tower is pulled obliquely in all directions on the ground.

[0017] 3. The drag vehicle for underwater towing can be reliably braked in the event of the breakage or power failure of the towing rope. In this project, power-off hydraulic braking is adopted. When the trolley is working normally, the solenoid valve is powered on, the return oil circuit is closed, and the oil pump provides an oil pressure of 0.8 Mpa to push the piston to drive the ejector rod. When the thrust is greater than the potential energy spring, the friction plate disengages from the load-carrying cable and the trolley travels normally. When the trolley needs to be emergently braked, only the power supply of the solenoid valve needs to be disconnected, the oil return valve is opened, and the oil flowing into the piston flows back into the fuel tank by using the oil pressure difference. The piston loses oil pressure, and the potential energy spring directly and quickly holds the load-carrying cable and brakes it, effectively increasing safety. Description of the Drawings

The aperture at the bottom of the guide tube 20 is smaller than the nut of the lifting rod 26, and it also functions to prevent the lifting rod 26 from falling off and taking out the threaded column 24.

The towing vehicle body includes a civil engineering system, a steel structure system, a trolley system, a control system, a wireless transmission system, and a safety system. The control system is the core component of the intelligent trolley. The control system is placed in the control room and is composed of a PLC control system, a speed regulation system, an in-vehicle control system, a tension control system, a position marker, a speed measurement, and software, etc.
[0030] When in use, the device fixes the bearing mechanism 1 and the fixing mechanism 6 on the ground 35. The fixing mechanism 6 is connected to the fixing lug 4 through the tension mechanism 5 to provide tension for the support mechanism, avoiding tilting during use. The distance between the first support mechanism 2 and the second support mechanism 3 is 130 meters and the height is 25 meters. A lightning protection cable is installed at the top of the two support mechanisms. The lightning protection cable is installed between the fixing rings 14. Two load-bearing cables 17 are arranged at a height of 22.5 meters. The load-bearing cables 17 serve as the trolley tracks with a gauge of 800 mm. The vehicle body 9 is placed on the load-bearing cables 17. One traction cable 18 is fixed at each of the front and rear ends of the vehicle body 9. The front and rear traction cables 18 are towed by the winches 38 at the bottom of the support mechanism. The vehicle body 15 moves back and forth on the load-bearing cables 17, and the speed range is 1.5 - 2.5 m / s, and the speed is adjustable. The lowest point is 20 meters from the water surface. The support mechanisms are located at both ends of the pool, and the bearing layer is about 2 meters. The winch 37 uses the inherent friction force with the traction cable 18 to drive the traction cable 18 to rotate. The rotational movement of the traction cable 18 makes a linear movement between the two support mechanisms. The vehicle body 9 is fastened to the traction cable 18. When the winch 37 rotates clockwise, it can tow the vehicle body 9 to move forward along the direction of the load-bearing cable, and when it rotates counterclockwise, it can tow the vehicle body 9 to move backward along the direction of the load-bearing cable. The load-bearing cable 17 is designed as a steel wire rope. The two ends of the rope are fixed on the first load-bearing rollers 13, and in the middle, it passes through the first load-bearing rollers 13 and droops to the bottom of the support mechanism, forming a "U" shape. An adjustable drooping force is applied at the bottom of the "U" shape. The drooping force is transmitted to the rope between the support mechanisms through the first load-bearing rollers 13, that is, the tension adjustment of the load-bearing cable is realized. The load-bearing cable tension adjustment mechanism consists of a pulley block, an adjustment bracket, a counterweight, and a tension sensor. Two pulley blocks are installed on the adjustment bracket. The farthest side distance of the pulley block is 800 mm, which is consistent with the gauge of 800 mm. The load-bearing cable passes through the pulley block. The counterweight is installed on the lower baffle of the adjustment bracket, and the tension sensor is clamped on the load-bearing cable. When the tension of the load-bearing cable needs to be adjusted, the tension value collected by the tension sensor is compared with the set target tension, and the purpose of adjusting the tension of the load-bearing cable can be achieved by increasing or decreasing the number of counterweights. Furthermore, the design principle of adjusting according to the ground is realized;
[0031] The principle of power-off hydraulic braking is that when the trolley is working normally, the solenoid valve 28 is powered on to close the return oil circuit. The oil pump 29 provides a pressure of 0.8 Mpa. The oil pressure makes the piston 30 push the top plate 31. When the thrust is greater than the potential energy spring, the friction plate disengages from the load-bearing cable, and the trolley travels normally; when the trolley is in emergency braking or the power supply of the solenoid valve is lost, the solenoid valve 28 opens, and the oil flowing into the piston 29 uses the oil pressure difference, and the oil flows back into the fuel tank 27. The piston 30 loses the oil pressure, and the potential energy spring directly holds the load-bearing cable and brakes it. The safety system consists of lightning protection, infrared induction control, safety braking, and software tension control, etc. In this project, the dragged load is a person, and it is driven by a winch through a steel wire rope drive. The following safety risks should be considered and controlled.
