[0021] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figure 1-6As shown, a universal instrument mounting bracket for a marine monitoring buoy platform includes a fastening tube 1. First semi-circular fastening plates 2 are provided on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the fastening tube 1, and second semi-circular fastening plates 3 are provided on the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the fastening tube 1. A first fixing plate 4 is connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the fastening tube 1, and a second fixing plate 5 is connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the fastening tube 1. A third semi-circular fastening plate 6 is provided on the upper surface of the first fixing plate 4. A locking assembly is provided on the second fixing plate 5. A push rod assembly is connected to the upper end of the locking assembly, and the push rod assembly is connected to the back of the third semi-circular fastening plate 6. A push block assembly is connected to the lower end of the locking assembly. A fastening rod 7 is connected to the back of the second semi-circular fastening plate 3, and the push block assembly is movably connected to the fastening rod 7. A sliding groove assembly is provided on the second fixing plate 5, and the lower end of the locking assembly is slidably connected within the sliding groove assembly. A drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the fastening tube 1 to ensure that rainwater does not accumulate inside the fastening tube 1. This bracket is made of SUS316 stainless steel, which can meet the requirements of high salinity air conditions.
[0023] Specifically, the support rod of the instrument is inserted into the fastening tube 1, and the locking assembly is turned. The locking assembly pushes the first semi-circular fastening plates 2 on both sides to fasten the support rod of the instrument. At the same time as the locking assembly moves, it drives the push rod assembly to move. The push rod assembly drives the two third semi-circular fastening plates 6 to fasten the support rod of the instrument. On the basis of the two first semi-circular fastening plates 2, the two third semi-circular fastening plates 6 are added to make the instrument more stable. At the same time as the locking assembly moves, it drives the push block assembly to move. The push block assembly drives the two second semi-circular fastening plates 3 to fasten from the front and rear sides of the support rod of the instrument. In this way, the support rod can be fastened from all around, making the fastening firm and reliable. Moreover, this bracket is convenient, quick and easy to use, and simple to operate. Only the locking assembly needs to be turned to fasten the support rod of the instrument.
[0024] Specifically, a first placement groove 8 is opened on each of the left and right sides of the inner sidewall of the fastening tube 1, and two first semi-circular fastening plates 2 are respectively located in the two first placement grooves 8. A threaded hole 9 is opened outward on the sidewall of each of the two first placement grooves 8. The locking assembly includes a screw 10, and the end of the screw 10 away from the first semi-circular fastening plate 2 is a smooth rod 101. A retaining ring 102 is connected to the smooth rod 101. The screw 10 passes through the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 and is movably connected to the back of the first semi-circular fastening plate 2. The lower ends of the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 are connected to the slider 13. The support plate 11 is inclined, and the upper ends of the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 extend to the upper surface of the first fixing plate 4.
[0025] Specifically, a first through groove 14 and a second through groove 15 are respectively opened on the first fixed plate 4. The push rod assembly includes a push rod 16 and an L-shaped block 18. One end of the L-shaped block 18 is connected to the back of the third semi-circular fastening plate 6, and the other end passes through the first through groove 14 and is connected to the upper end of the support plate 11. The upper end of the connecting plate 12 passes through the second through groove 15 and is connected to one end of the push rod 16. The other end of the push rod 16 is connected to the L-shaped block 18. A weighing block 17 is also connected to the L-shaped block 18.
[0026] Specifically, when the screw 10 is turned, the screw 10 pushes the first semi-circular fastening plate 2 to fasten the support rod of the instrument. When the screw 10 moves, the retaining ring 102 on the smooth rod 101 on the screw 10 pushes the connecting plate 12, so that the connecting plate 12 pushes the L-shaped block 18 through the push rod 16, so that the L-shaped block 18 pushes the third semi-circular fastening plate 6, together fastening the support rod of the instrument.
[0027] Specifically, a second placement groove 19 is opened on each of the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the fastening tube 1. Two second semi-circular fastening plates 3 are respectively located in the two second placement grooves 19. Through holes 20 are opened outward on the side walls of the second placement grooves 19. One end of the fastening rod 7 passes through the through hole 20 and is connected to the back of the second semi-circular fastening plate 3. The other end of the fastening rod 7 is movably connected to a ball bearing 71. The push block assembly includes an inclined triangular block 21. One end of the inclined triangular block 21 is connected to the side wall of the slider 13. The inclined edge of the inclined triangular block 21 contacts the ball bearing 71. A rolling groove 22 is opened on the inclined edge of the inclined triangular block 21, and the ball bearing 71 is located in the rolling groove 22.
[0028] Specifically, when the retaining ring 102 on the smooth rod 101 of the screw 10 pushes the connecting plate 12, the connecting plate 12 also drives the lower slider 13 to move towards the fastening tube 1. At the same time as the slider 13 moves, the slider 13 drives the inclined triangular block 21 to move, so that the inclined edge of the inclined triangular block 21 pushes against the fastening rod 7, so that the fastening rod 7 pushes the second semi-circular fastening plate 3 to contact the instrument support rod and fastens the instrument support rod.
[0029] Specifically, the slide assembly includes a slide 23, which is formed on the second fixed plate 5. The slider 13 is slidably connected within the slide 23. A pin assembly is provided at the end of the slide 23 away from the fastening tube 1. The pin assembly includes a pin limiting hole 24 and a pin movable hole 25. The pin limiting hole 24 and the pin movable hole 25 are respectively formed on the opposite inner walls of the slide 23. A pin placement hole 26 is formed at the inner end of the pin movable hole 25. The pin 27 is located within the pin placement hole 26. A spring 28 is connected to the end of the pin 27 away from the pin movable hole 25. A stop block 29 is connected to the end of the pin 27 connected to the spring 28. The diameter of the stop block 29 is larger than the diameter of the pin movable hole 25.
[0030] Specifically, when the slider 13 moves toward the fastening tube 1, the pin 27 loses its restriction after the slider 13 moves. The spring 28 resets and pushes the pin 27 to extend from the pin movable hole 25 into the pin limiting hole 24, so that the pin 27 can restrict the slider 13 from sliding.
