Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water conservancy equipment technology, specifically relating to the deployment device and method of a floating water surface measuring instrument. Background Technology
[0002] Floating water-based measuring instruments are used to acquire marine and meteorological data for designated sea areas, as well as to detect water quality and ecological environment data for target sea areas.
[0003] A dynamic network monitoring system for the marine ecological environment at the mesoscale is constructed using floating water surface measuring instruments to monitor the parameter variables of the marine ecological environment in a certain sea area, so as to achieve the purposes of data display and analysis, early warning of red tide and green tide disasters, and tracking and locating oil spill accidents.
[0004] In existing technologies, floating measuring instruments are generally manually deployed by operators from boats. Due to the heavy weight of the measuring instruments and the large number of instruments to be deployed, the workload is heavy and the physical exertion is significant, resulting in a great waste of human resources. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the aforementioned technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a deployment device and method for floating water surface measuring instruments. By setting up a storage component, a pushing component, and a deployment component, the storage component stores the measuring instruments to be deployed. The pushing component pushes the measuring instruments in the storage component to the deployment component, and then the deployment component controls the deployment of the measuring instruments, thereby achieving fully automatic deployment of the measuring instruments. This reduces the workload of operators, saves physical labor, and conserves human resources. Operators only need to replenish the measuring instruments in the storage component as needed. In the deployment method, firstly, the measuring instruments to be deployed are prepared and temporarily stored one by one in a temporary storage tube. Then, the measurement area is divided and the measurement points are determined. A travel route is planned according to the measurement points. The vessel then travels to the measurement points according to the planned route. The lead screw in the pushing component... The machine drives the ball screw to rotate, thereby controlling the adjusting block to drive the U-shaped jacking block and jacking plate to push the measuring instrument in the temporary storage tube, so that the measuring instrument is pushed out from the other end of the temporary storage tube. The pushed measuring instrument is pressed against the clamping seat, and then the jacking cylinder in the clamping seat controls the arc clamping plate two to move towards the measuring instrument, so that the measuring instrument is clamped between the arc clamping plate one and the arc clamping plate two, thus fixing the measuring instrument on the clamping seat. The rotating motor controls the clamping seat to rotate, and then the swing motor controls the swing rod to drive the clamping part, which clamps the two sides of the clamping seat. The swing motor again controls the swing rod to adjust the clamping seat to swing towards the hull side, so that the measuring instrument is moved out of the hull and the bottom of the measuring instrument is facing down. Then the clamping seat releases the measuring instrument, so that the measuring instrument falls into the water and the measuring instrument begins to measure. The operation is repeated to deploy each measuring instrument at the measurement point for measurement, thus completing the deployment of the measuring instruments. The deployment method of this invention allows operators to simply place the measuring instrument into the temporary storage tube. When the ship travels to the measurement point, the deployment device can automatically drop the measuring instrument into the water for measurement, thus greatly saving manpower and physical strength. The operation is simple and convenient, and the deployment accuracy is high.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A deployment device for a floating measuring instrument includes a hull and a storage component mounted on the hull. The storage component stores the measuring instrument. One end of the storage component has a pushing component, and the other end has a corresponding deployment component. The pushing component pushes the measuring instrument from the storage component to the deployment component, which then deploys the measuring instrument onto the water surface. This invention achieves fully automated deployment of the measuring instrument by using a storage component, a pushing component, and a deployment component. The storage component stores the measuring instrument to be deployed, the pushing component pushes the measuring instrument from the storage component to the deployment component, and the deployment component controls the deployment of the measuring instrument. This reduces the workload of operators, saves physical labor, and conserves human resources. Operators only need to replenish the measuring instrument in the storage component as needed.
[0008] Furthermore, the storage component includes a cylinder, a driving component, and a temporary storage tube. The temporary storage tube is distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the cylinder and is rotatably connected to the cylinder. The driving component drives the temporary storage tube to rotate within the cylinder. The temporary storage tube has mounting cavities open at both ends, which are matched with the measuring instrument and used to temporarily store the measuring instrument. The bottom of the cylinder has support feet fixed to the hull. With the mounting cavities open at both ends, the measuring instrument is inserted horizontally into the temporary storage tube. A pusher at one end of the temporary storage tube pushes the measuring side, causing the measuring instrument to move out from the other end of the temporary storage tube, thus achieving automatic transport of the measuring instrument.
[0009] Furthermore, the driving component includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel, a connecting rod, and a drive motor. The inner walls at both ends of the cylinder are provided with teeth I, and the two ends of the temporary storage tube are provided with corresponding teeth II. Teeth I and teeth II mesh with each other. Both the driving wheel and the driven wheel mesh with teeth II. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are respectively located at both ends of the cylinder and are concentrically arranged with the cylinder. The temporary storage tube is circumferentially distributed on the outer walls of the driving wheel and the driven wheel. A motor mounting base is fixedly connected to one end of the cylinder, and the drive motor is fixedly connected to the motor mounting base. The two ends of the connecting rod are fixedly connected to the driving wheel and the driven wheel, respectively. The drive motor is used to control the rotation of the driving wheel, and the driving wheel drives the driven wheel to rotate through the connecting rod. The drive motor controls the rotation of the driving wheel, which in turn drives the driven wheel to rotate via a connecting rod. Simultaneously, the meshing of gear one and gear two causes the driving wheel and driven wheel to rotate the temporary storage tube within the cylinder. After the jacking assembly has pushed all the measuring instruments in the current temporary storage tube, the jacking assembly resets, and the drive motor controls the rotation of the temporary storage tube, moving the fully loaded temporary storage tube to the jacking assembly. This allows the jacking assembly to continue pushing measuring instruments, while operators can replenish the empty temporary storage tubes with measuring instruments. This ensures continuous and uninterrupted operation of the deployment device, improving the efficiency of measuring instrument deployment.
[0010] Furthermore, the jacking assembly includes a U-shaped jacking rod, an adjusting seat, and a ball screw. The adjusting seat is fixedly connected to the hull and has a groove. The ball screw is rotatably connected within the groove. A screw motor is fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting seat, controlling the rotation of the ball screw. An adjusting block is movably connected to the ball screw. One end of the U-shaped jacking rod is fixedly connected to the adjusting block, and the other end is fixedly connected to a jacking plate. The jacking plate is located within the mounting cavity and rests against the measuring instrument. The screw motor controls the rotation of the ball screw, thereby controlling the adjusting block to slide along the groove. The adjusting block drives the U-shaped rod to slide, causing the U-shaped rod to push the jacking plate against the measuring instrument within the mounting cavity of the corresponding temporary storage tube.
[0011] Furthermore, the deployment assembly includes a swinging component and a clamping component. A slide rail is fixedly connected to the other end of the hull, and the clamping component is slidably connected to the slide rail. After the pushing component pushes the measuring instrument out of the storage component, it is clamped and fixed by the clamping component. The swinging component drives the clamping component equipped with the measuring instrument to swing, thereby deploying the measuring instrument into the water. The clamping component can move along the direction of the slide rail, causing the clamping component to move towards the storage component, cooperating with the pushing component to push out the measuring instrument, so that the measuring instrument is pressed against the clamping component, which facilitates the clamping component to fix and clamp the measuring instrument.
[0012] Furthermore, the clamping components include a sliding seat, a magnetic seat, a rotating frame, and a clamping seat. The bottom of the sliding seat is equipped with a slider, which is slidably connected to the slide rail. The magnetic seat is attached to the top surface of the sliding seat. The rotating frame is fixedly connected to both sides of the top surface of the magnetic seat. The clamping seat is rotatably connected between the two rotating frames. The rotating frame is equipped with a rotating motor, which controls the clamping seat to rotate. The clamping seat is used to clamp the measuring instrument. The sliding seat is slidably connected to the slide rail via a slider, and the magnetic seat is attached to the sliding seat, thus connecting the clamping seat to the sliding seat. The magnetic seat facilitates quick assembly and disassembly with the sliding seat. The rotating motor controls the rotation of the clamping seat. When the measuring instrument needs to be clamped, the rotating motor controls the clamping seat to rotate towards the storage component, and then controls the sliding seat to slide towards the storage component, so that the clamping seat moves to the other end of the storage component. The measuring instrument is pushed out from the other end of the storage component onto the clamping seat. After the clamping seat clamps the measuring instrument, it controls the sliding seat to reset, and at the same time, the rotating motor drives the clamping seat to rotate back, so that the bottom surface of the measuring instrument faces upward.
[0013] Furthermore, the clamping seat is equipped with an arc-shaped clamping plate one, an arc-shaped clamping plate two, and a push cylinder. Arc-shaped clamping plate one is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping seat, and arc-shaped clamping plate two is correspondingly movably connected to the other side of the clamping seat. A cylinder mounting base is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping seat, and the push cylinder is fixedly connected to the cylinder mounting base. The push cylinder has a push guide rod, which is fixedly connected to arc-shaped clamping plate two. The measuring instrument is clamped between arc-shaped clamping plate one and arc-shaped clamping plate two. Arc-shaped clamping plate one is fixed to the clamping seat, and the push cylinder controls arc-shaped clamping plate two to slide on the clamping seat, thus clamping the measuring instrument between arc-shaped clamping plate one and arc-shaped clamping plate two, thereby fixing the measuring instrument to the clamping seat.
[0014] Furthermore, the swing component includes a support, a swing rod, and a clamping component. The support is fixedly connected to the hull and is located on one side of the clamping component. The swing rod is rotatably connected to the support, and a swing motor is fixedly connected to one side of the support. The swing motor controls the swing rod to swing. The clamping component is fixedly connected to the end of the swing rod and is used to clamp the clamping seat. The swing motor controls the swing rod to rotate towards the clamping component, causing the swing rod to drive the clamping component to rotate. After the clamping component clamps the clamping seat, the swing motor again controls the swing rod to swing towards the hull side, causing the measuring instrument to move out of the hull. At the same time, the bottom surface of the measuring instrument is facing downwards. The clamping seat releases the measuring instrument, allowing the measuring instrument to move and fall into the water. The bottom surface of the measuring instrument entering the water ensures that the measuring instrument floats on the water surface, preventing the measuring instrument from flipping over and improving the accuracy of the measuring instrument.
[0015] Furthermore, the clamping component is equipped with an L-shaped bracket, which is fixedly connected to the swing rod. One end of the L-shaped bracket is tightly pressed against one side of the clamping seat, and the other end of the L-shaped bracket is movably connected to a limit rod. A clamping cylinder is fixedly connected to the other end of the L-shaped bracket, and the clamping cylinder is equipped with a clamping guide rod, which is fixedly connected to the limit rod, so that the limit rod is tightly pressed against the other side of the clamping seat. By controlling the clamping cylinder to move the limit rod to one side of the clamping seat, the clamping seat is clamped between the L-shaped bracket and the limit rod.
[0016] The deployment method for floating water surface measuring instruments includes the following steps:
[0017] a. Preparations before deployment
[0018] First, prepare the floating measuring instruments to be deployed. Then, clean and reset the deployment device. Next, place the measuring instruments one by one into the temporary storage tubes of the storage components in the deployment device.
[0019] b. Selection of deployment points
[0020] First, the measurement area is divided according to the measurement area. Then, measurement points are evenly distributed in the divided area. Next, the ship's travel path is planned according to the measurement points. The ship carries the deployment device equipped with the measuring instrument and travels to the measurement points.
[0021] c. Automatic delivery
[0022] 1) Eject
[0023] The ball screw is driven to rotate by the lead screw motor, so that the adjusting block slides along the groove. The adjusting block drives the U-shaped push rod to slide, so that the U-shaped push rod controls the push plate to push the measuring instrument in the temporary storage tube, so that the measuring instrument in the temporary storage tube moves towards the side of the delivery component.
[0024] 2) Clamping
[0025] After being ejected, the measuring instrument rests against the clamping seat. The arc-shaped clamping plate on one side of the clamping seat rests against the outer wall of the measuring instrument. At the same time, the push cylinder controls the arc-shaped clamping plate to move towards one side of the measuring instrument through the push guide rod, so that the measuring instrument is clamped and fixed on the clamping seat. Then, the motor is rotated to control the clamping seat to rotate upward, so that the bottom of the measuring instrument faces upward.
[0026] 3) Clamping
[0027] The swing motor controls the swing rod to move the clamping part to one side of the clamping seat, so that the L-shaped bracket abuts against one side of the clamping seat. At the same time, the clamping cylinder controls the clamping guide rod to abut against the other side of the clamping seat, thereby fixing the swing rod to the clamping seat. Then the swing motor runs again, causing the magnetic seat to disengage from the sliding seat, and swinging the measuring instrument to the outside of the hull with the bottom of the measuring instrument facing down. Then the push cylinder runs, causing the clamping seat to release the measuring instrument, and the measuring instrument falls into the water.
[0028] d. Conversion
[0029] After the measuring instruments in the current temporary storage tube are installed, the drive motor controls the drive wheel to rotate, causing the temporary storage tube to rotate in the cylinder, so that the next temporary storage tube filled with measuring instruments will rotate to the top push plate.
[0030] e. Deployment
[0031] Based on the measurement points set up in step b, repeat steps c and d to deploy the measuring instruments one by one, thus completing the deployment of the measuring instruments.
[0032] The present invention, by adopting the above-described technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:
[0033] This invention features a storage component, a pushing component, and a deployment component. The storage component stores the measuring instruments to be deployed. The pushing component pushes the measuring instruments from the storage component to the deployment component, and the deployment component controls the deployment of the measuring instruments. This achieves fully automatic deployment of the measuring instruments, reducing the workload of operators, saving physical effort, and conserving human resources. Operators only need to replenish the measuring instruments in the storage component as needed.
[0034] In this invention, the driving component includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel, a connecting rod, and a driving motor. The inner walls at both ends of the cylinder are provided with teeth (part 1), and the two ends of the temporary storage tube are correspondingly provided with teeth (part 2). Teeth (part 1) mesh with teeth (part 2). Both the driving wheel and the driven wheel mesh with teeth (part 2). The driving wheel and the driven wheel are respectively located at both ends of the cylinder and are concentrically arranged with the cylinder. The temporary storage tube is circumferentially distributed on the outer walls of the driving wheel and the driven wheel. A motor mounting base is fixedly connected to one end of the cylinder, and the driving motor is fixedly connected to the motor mounting base. Both ends of the connecting rod are fixedly connected to the driving wheel and the driven wheel, respectively. The driving motor is used to control the rotation of the driving wheel, and the driving wheel drives the driven wheel to rotate through the connecting rod. The drive motor controls the rotation of the driving wheel, which in turn drives the driven wheel to rotate via a connecting rod. Simultaneously, the meshing of gear one and gear two causes the driving wheel and driven wheel to rotate the temporary storage tube within the cylinder. After the jacking assembly has pushed all the measuring instruments in the current temporary storage tube, the jacking assembly resets, and the drive motor controls the rotation of the temporary storage tube, moving the fully loaded temporary storage tube to the jacking assembly. This allows the jacking assembly to continue pushing measuring instruments, while operators can replenish the empty temporary storage tubes with measuring instruments. This ensures continuous and uninterrupted operation of the deployment device, improving the efficiency of measuring instrument deployment.
[0035] In this invention, the swinging component includes a support, a swing rod, and a clamping component. The support is fixedly connected to the hull and is located on one side of the clamping component. The swing rod is rotatably connected to the support, and a swing motor is fixedly connected to one side of the support. The swing motor controls the swing rod to swing. The clamping component is fixedly connected to the end of the swing rod and is used to clamp the clamping seat. The swing motor controls the swing rod to rotate towards the clamping component, causing the swing rod to drive the clamping component to rotate. After the clamping component clamps the clamping seat, the swing motor again controls the swing rod to swing towards the hull side, causing the measuring instrument to move out of the hull. At the same time, the bottom surface of the measuring instrument is facing downwards. The clamping seat releases the measuring instrument, allowing the measuring instrument to move and fall into the water. The bottom surface of the measuring instrument facing downwards ensures that the measuring instrument floats on the water surface, preventing it from flipping over and improving the accuracy of the measurement.
[0036] In step c of this invention, the measuring instrument is pushed out of the temporary storage tube by the pushing assembly. After being pushed out, the measuring instrument rests against the clamping seat, which clamps and fixes the measuring instrument. Then, the rotating motor controls the clamping seat to rotate upward, so that the bottom of the measuring instrument faces upward. The swing motor controls the swing rod to rotate, so that the clamping part fixes the clamping seat. The swing motor then controls the swing rod to swing outward to the outside of the hull, so that the measuring instrument is located outside the hull with its bottom facing downward. Then, the clamping seat releases the measuring instrument, so that the measuring instrument automatically falls into the water. This realizes the automatic deployment of the measuring instrument. The bottom of the measuring instrument enters the water with its bottom facing downward, ensuring that the measuring instrument floats on the water surface and preventing it from flipping over, thus improving the accuracy of the measuring instrument.

Detailed Implementation
[0049] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the device for deploying the floating measuring instrument of the present invention includes a hull 1 and a storage component 2 disposed on the hull 1. The storage component 2 is used to store the measuring instrument 3. One end of the storage component 2 is provided with a push component 4, and the other end of the storage component 2 is provided with a corresponding release component. The push component 4 pushes the measuring instrument 3 in the storage component 2 to the release component 5, and the release component 5 releases the measuring instrument 3 onto the water surface.
[0050] The storage component 2 includes a cylinder 6, a driving component 7, and a temporary storage tube 8. The temporary storage tube 8 is distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the cylinder 6 and is rotatably connected to the cylinder 6. The driving component 7 drives the temporary storage tube 8 to rotate within the cylinder 6. The temporary storage tube 8 has mounting cavities 9 with openings at both ends, which are matched with the measuring instrument 3. The mounting cavities 9 are used to temporarily store the measuring instrument 3. The bottom of the cylinder 6 has support feet 10, which are fixed to the hull 1. The temporary storage tube 8 has mounting cavities 9 with openings at both ends. When the measuring instrument 3 is inserted horizontally into the temporary storage tube 8, a pusher at one end of the temporary storage tube 8 pushes the measuring side, causing the measuring instrument 3 to move out from the other end of the temporary storage tube 8, thus achieving automatic transport of the measuring instrument 3. The driving component 7 includes a driving wheel 11, a driven wheel 12, a connecting rod 13, and a drive motor 14. The inner walls of both ends of the cylinder 6 are provided with teeth 15, and the two ends of the temporary storage tube 8 are provided with corresponding teeth 16. Teeth 15 and teeth 16 mesh with each other. Both the driving wheel 11 and the driven wheel 12 mesh with teeth 16. The driving wheel 11 and the driven wheel 12 are respectively located at both ends of the cylinder 6 and are concentrically arranged with the cylinder 6. The temporary storage tube 8 is circumferentially distributed on the outer walls of the driving wheel 11 and the driven wheel 12. A motor mounting base 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the cylinder 6, and the drive motor 14 is fixedly connected to the motor mounting base 17. Both ends of the connecting rod 13 are fixedly connected to the driving wheel 11 and the driven wheel 12, respectively. The drive motor 14 is used to control the rotation of the driving wheel 11, and the driving wheel 11 drives the driven wheel 12 to rotate through the connecting rod 13. The drive motor 14 controls the drive wheel 11 to rotate, and the drive wheel 11 drives the driven wheel 12 to rotate through the connecting rod 13. At the same time, the meshing of the first tooth 15 and the second tooth 16 causes the drive wheel 11 and the driven wheel 12 to drive the temporary storage tube 8 to rotate inside the cylinder 6. After the pushing assembly 4 pushes the measuring instrument 3 in the current temporary storage tube 8, the pushing assembly 4 resets, and the drive motor 14 controls the temporary storage tube 8 to rotate, so that the full temporary storage tube 8 moves to the pushing assembly 4, so that the pushing assembly 4 can continue to push the measuring instrument 3. At the same time, the operator can replenish the measuring instrument 3 to the empty temporary storage tube 8, ensuring the continuous and uninterrupted operation of the deployment device and improving the deployment efficiency of the measuring instrument 3.
[0051] The jacking assembly 4 includes a U-shaped jacking rod 18, an adjusting seat 19, and a ball screw 20. The adjusting seat 19 is fixedly connected to the hull 1 and has a groove 21. The ball screw 20 is rotatably connected to the groove 21. A screw motor 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting seat 19, controlling the rotation of the ball screw 20. An adjusting block 23 is movably connected to the ball screw 20. One end of the U-shaped jacking rod 18 is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 23, and the other end is fixedly connected to a jacking plate 24. The jacking plate 24 is located in the mounting cavity 9 and rests against the measuring instrument 3. The screw motor 22 controls the rotation of the ball screw 20, thereby controlling the adjusting block 23 to slide along the groove 21. The adjusting block 23 drives the U-shaped jacking rod 18 to slide, causing the U-shaped jacking rod 18 to drive the jacking plate 24 to jacking the measuring instrument 3 within the mounting cavity 9 of the corresponding temporary storage tube 8.
[0052] The deployment assembly 5 includes a swinging component 25 and a clamping component 26. A slide rail 27 is fixedly connected to the other end of the hull 1, located on the cylinder 6. The clamping component 26 is slidably connected to the slide rail 27. After the pushing assembly 4 pushes the measuring instrument 3 out of the storage assembly 2, it is clamped and fixed by the clamping component 26. The swinging component 25 drives the clamping component 26, which is equipped with the measuring instrument 3, to swing, thereby deploying the measuring instrument 3 into the water. The clamping component 26 can move along the slide rail 27, allowing it to move towards the storage assembly 2. This, in conjunction with the pushing assembly 4, pushes the measuring instrument 3 out, causing it to rest against the clamping component 26, facilitating the clamping component 26 in fixing and clamping the measuring instrument 3. The clamping component 26 includes a sliding seat 28, a magnetic seat 29, a rotating frame 30, and a clamping seat 31. The bottom of the sliding seat 28 is provided with a slider 32, which is slidably connected to the slide rail 27. The magnetic seat 29 is attracted to the top surface of the sliding seat 28. The rotating frame 30 is fixedly connected to both sides of the top surface of the magnetic seat 29. The clamping seat 31 is rotatably connected between the two rotating frames 30. The rotating frame 30 is provided with a rotating motor 33, which controls the clamping seat 31 to rotate. The clamping seat 31 is used to clamp the measuring instrument 3. The sliding seat 28 is slidably connected to the slide rail 27 via the slider 32. The magnetic seat 29 is attracted to the sliding seat 28, thereby connecting the clamping seat 31 to the sliding seat 28. The magnetic seat 29 facilitates quick assembly and disassembly with the sliding seat 28. The rotating motor 33 controls the clamping seat 31 to rotate. When the measuring instrument 3 needs to be clamped, the rotating motor 33 controls the clamping seat 31 to rotate towards the storage component 2, and then controls the sliding seat 28 to slide towards the storage component 2, so that the clamping seat 31 moves to the other end of the storage component 2. The measuring instrument 3 is pushed out from the other end of the storage component 2 onto the clamping seat 31. After the clamping seat 31 clamps the measuring instrument 3, the sliding seat 28 is controlled to reset. At the same time, the rotating motor 33 drives the clamping seat 31 to rotate back, so that the bottom surface of the measuring instrument 3 faces upward. The clamping seat 31 is equipped with an arc-shaped clamping plate 34, an arc-shaped clamping plate 35, and a push cylinder 36. The arc-shaped clamping plate 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping seat 31, and the arc-shaped clamping plate 35 is correspondingly movably connected to the other side of the clamping seat 31. A cylinder mounting seat 37 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping seat 31, and the push cylinder 36 is fixedly connected to the cylinder mounting seat 37. The push cylinder 36 is equipped with a push guide rod 38, which is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped clamping plate 35. The measuring instrument 3 is clamped between the arc-shaped clamping plate 34 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 35. The arc-shaped clamping plate 34 is fixed on the clamping seat 31, and the push cylinder 36 controls the arc-shaped clamping plate 35 to slide on the clamping seat 31, so that the measuring instrument 3 is clamped between the arc-shaped clamping plate 34 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 35, thereby fixing the measuring instrument 3 on the clamping seat 31.The swinging component 25 includes a support 39, a swinging rod 40, and a clamping component 41. The support 39 is fixedly connected to the hull 1 and is located on one side of the clamping component 26. The swinging rod 40 is rotatably connected to the support 39. A swinging motor 42 is fixedly connected to one side of the support 39. The swinging motor 42 controls the swinging rod 40 to swing. The clamping component 41 is fixedly connected to the end of the swinging rod 40 and is used to clamp the clamping seat 31. The swing motor 42 controls the swing rod 40 to rotate towards the clamping part 26, causing the swing rod 40 to drive the clamping part 41 to rotate. After the clamping part 41 clamps the clamping seat 31, the swing motor 42 controls the swing rod 40 to swing towards the hull 1 again, causing the measuring instrument 3 to move out of the hull 1. At the same time, the bottom surface of the measuring instrument 3 is set downwards, and the clamping seat 31 releases the measuring instrument 3, causing the measuring instrument 3 to move and fall into the water. The bottom surface of the measuring instrument 3 enters the water, ensuring that the measuring instrument 3 floats on the water surface, preventing the measuring instrument 3 from flipping on the water surface, and improving the measurement accuracy of the measuring instrument 3. The clamping component 41 is equipped with an L-shaped bracket 43, which is fixedly connected to the swing rod 40. One end of the L-shaped bracket 43 is tightly attached to one side of the clamping seat 31, and the other end of the L-shaped bracket 43 is movably connected to a limit rod 44. A clamping cylinder 45 is fixedly connected to the other end of the L-shaped bracket 43. The clamping cylinder 45 is equipped with a clamping guide rod 46, which is fixedly connected to the limit rod 44, so that the limit rod 44 is tightly attached to the other side of the clamping seat 31. By controlling the clamping cylinder 45 to move the limit rod 44 to one side of the clamping seat 31, the clamping seat 31 is clamped between the L-shaped bracket 43 and the limit rod 44.
[0053] like Figures 1 to 6 The diagram shows the deployment method of the floating water surface measuring instrument of the present invention, which includes the following steps:
[0054] a. Preparations before deployment
[0055] First, prepare the floating measuring instruments 3 to be deployed. Then, clean and reset the deployment device. Next, place the measuring instruments 3 one by one into the temporary storage tubes 8 of the storage component 2 in the deployment device.
[0056] b. Selection of deployment points
[0057] First, the measurement area is divided according to the measurement area. Then, measurement points are evenly distributed in the divided area. Next, the travel path of the ship 1 is planned according to the measurement points. The ship 1 carries the deployment device equipped with the measuring instrument 3 and travels to the measurement points.
[0058] c. Automatic delivery
[0059] 1) Eject
[0060] The ball screw 20 is driven to rotate by the lead screw motor 22, so that the adjusting block 23 slides along the groove 21. The adjusting block 23 drives the U-shaped push rod 18 to slide, so that the U-shaped push rod 18 controls the push plate 24 to push the measuring instrument 3 in the temporary storage tube 8, so that the measuring instrument 3 in the temporary storage tube 8 moves towards the delivery component 5.
[0061] 2) Clamping
[0062] After being ejected, the measuring instrument 3 rests against the clamping seat 31. The arc-shaped clamping plate 34 on one side of the clamping seat 31 rests against the outer wall of the measuring instrument 3. At the same time, the pushing cylinder 36 controls the arc-shaped clamping plate 35 to move towards the side of the measuring instrument 3 through the pushing guide rod 38, so that the measuring instrument 3 is clamped and fixed on the clamping seat 31. Then, the motor 33 is rotated to control the clamping seat 31 to rotate upward, so that the bottom of the measuring instrument 3 faces upward.
[0063] 3) Clamping
[0064] The swing motor 42 controls the swing rod 40 to move the clamping part 41 to one side of the clamping seat 31, so that the L-shaped bracket 43 abuts against one side of the clamping seat 31. At the same time, the clamping cylinder 45 controls the clamping guide rod 46 to move the limiting rod 44 to the other side of the clamping seat 31, thereby fixing the swing rod 40 to the clamping seat 31. Then the swing motor 42 runs again, causing the magnetic suction seat 29 to disengage from the sliding seat 28, and at the same time swinging the measuring instrument 3 to the outside of the hull 1, with the bottom of the measuring instrument 3 facing down. Then the push cylinder 36 runs, causing the clamping seat 31 to release the measuring instrument 3, and the measuring instrument 3 falls into the water.
[0065] d. Conversion
[0066] After the measuring instruments 3 are installed in the current temporary storage tube 8, the drive motor 14 controls the drive wheel 11 to drive the driven wheel 12 to rotate, so that the temporary storage tube 8 rotates in the cylinder 6, so that the next temporary storage tube 8 filled with measuring instruments 3 rotates to the top push plate 24.
[0067] e. Deployment
[0068] Based on the measurement points set up in step b, repeat steps c and d to deploy the measuring instruments 3 one by one, thus completing the deployment of the measuring instruments 3.
[0069] This invention features a storage component 2, a pushing component 4, and a deployment component 5. The storage component 2 stores the measuring instruments 3 to be deployed. The pushing component 4 pushes the measuring instruments 3 from the storage component 2 to the deployment component 5, and the deployment component 5 controls the deployment of the measuring instruments 3. This achieves fully automatic deployment of the measuring instruments 3, reducing the workload of operators, saving physical effort, and saving human resources. Operators only need to replenish the measuring instruments 3 in the storage component 2 in a timely manner.
[0070] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on the present invention to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
