Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0033] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention proposes an underwater protection structure, including: a bracket 1, a protective frame 2 and a first connecting column 3; the protective frame 2 is disposed above the bracket 1, and a grid 4 is mounted on the protective frame 2; one end of the first connecting column 3 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the protective frame 2, and the other end of the first connecting column 3 is provided with a connecting structure 5 suitable for fixed connection with the bracket 1.
[0035] Specifically, bracket 1 is used to install and support the underwater data cabin. Bracket 1 can also support underwater equipment such as pump modules. A protective frame 2 is installed above bracket 1, and a grille 4 is installed on the protective frame 2 to protect against fishing net snagging and impacts from heavy objects. Bracket 1 and protective frame 2 are connected by a first connecting post 3. One end of the first connecting post 3 is fixedly connected to the protective frame 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to bracket 1 through a connecting structure 5. The connecting structure 5 enables quick assembly and disassembly of bracket 1 and protective frame 2, improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of this underwater protective structure. The underwater protective structure proposed in this invention can effectively prevent fishing net snagging and impacts from heavy objects, which is beneficial to protecting the stability and safety of the underwater data cabin and improving its service life.
[0036] Understandably, the protective frame 2 provides the mounting base for the grille 4, which is made of composite materials, making it lightweight and highly impact-resistant, effectively preventing impacts from heavy objects. The grille 4 has good water permeability and will not affect the operation of underwater equipment.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the protective frame 2 is frustum-shaped, and multiple first connecting posts 3 are provided, with the multiple first connecting posts 3 respectively located at multiple apex corners of the protective frame 2.
[0038] Specifically, the protective frame 2 is truncated cone-shaped, thus forming an outward tilt angle from top to bottom, which can prevent the fishing net from dragging and reduce water flow resistance. Multiple first connecting posts 3 are provided, each located at one of the apex corners of the protective frame 2 to ensure the stability of the connection.
[0039] It is understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the protective frame 2 is in the shape of a truncated pyramid, and the number of the first connecting posts 3 is four, which are respectively arranged at the four apex corners of the bottom of the protective frame 2 to improve the stability of the protective frame 2.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the bracket 1 includes a support frame 11, a second connecting column 12 disposed on the support frame 11, and an installation beam 13 spanning two adjacent second connecting columns 12. The first connecting column 3 is fixedly connected to the installation beam 13 through a connecting structure 5.
[0041] Specifically, the support frame 11 provides a mounting foundation for the second connecting column 12 and the mounting beam 13. Furthermore, the support frame 11 also provides a mounting foundation for the underwater data cabin. In some embodiments of the invention, the support frame 11 is rectangular, and its cross-section is greater than or equal to the maximum cross-section of the protective frame 2. The second connecting columns 12 are fixedly disposed at the four apex corners of the support frame 11. A mounting beam 13 is provided between two adjacent second connecting columns 12 along the length direction. The mounting beam 13 provides a mounting foundation for the first connecting column 3, and the first connecting column 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting beam 13 through the connecting structure 5.
[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom of the first connecting column 3 is provided with a first connecting plate 31, the connecting structure 5 includes a second connecting plate 51 fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 31, and two clamping plates 52 respectively disposed on opposite sides of the second connecting plate 51, and the mounting beam 13 is clamped between the two clamping plates 52.
[0043] Specifically, the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 51 are fixedly connected by bolts. Clamping plates 52 are provided on opposite sides of the second connecting plate 51. The mounting beam 13 is aligned with the gap between the two clamping plates 52 so that the mounting beam 13 is clamped between the two clamping plates 52.
[0044] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting structure 5 further includes at least two pads 53, the mounting beam 13 is an I-beam, the two pads 53 are respectively disposed on both sides of the I-beam and located between the I-beam and the clamping plate 52.
[0045] Specifically, the connecting structure 5 includes at least two pads 53. The pads 53 are disposed on both sides of the mounting beam 13 and located between the mounting beam 13 and the clamping plate 52. The pads 53 are made of elastic material, specifically silicone or rubber. The function of the pads 53 is to prevent the protective frame 2 from shaking under the action of water flow after installation, effectively improving the stability of the protective frame 2.
[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting structure 5 further includes a stop member 54 connected to the first connecting plate 31. The stop member 54 includes a stop block and a fixing block connected vertically. The fixing block is detachably connected to the first connecting plate 31, and the outer side of the stop block abuts against the side wall of the second connecting column 12.
[0047] Specifically, the stop 54 includes a stop block and a fixing block connected to each other. The stop block and the fixing block are perpendicular to each other. The inner side of the fixing block rests on the first connecting plate 31, and the outer side of the stop block can abut against the side wall of the second connecting column 12, thereby limiting the displacement of the protective frame 2 and improving the stability of the protective frame 2.
[0048] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, at least two waist-shaped holes are provided on the fixing block, the length directions of the two waist-shaped holes are parallel to each other, and the two waist-shaped holes are staggered.
[0049] Specifically, the waist-shaped hole facilitates the adjustment of the installation position of the fixing block, thereby fine-tuning the installation of the protective frame 2, improving the compatibility between the protective frame 2 and the bracket 1, and helping to improve the stability of the protective frame 2.
[0050] It is understandable that there are two waist-shaped holes, and the length directions of the two waist-shaped holes are parallel to each other. The two waist-shaped holes are staggered, thereby increasing the adjustment threshold.
[0051] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the lower ends of the two clamping plates 52 are respectively provided with two corresponding first mounting holes, and the connecting structure 5 further includes a clamping member 55, which passes through the two first mounting holes to lock and fix the two clamping plates 52.
[0052] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the upper ends of the two clamping plates 52 are respectively provided with corresponding second mounting holes, and the connecting structure 5 also includes a locking member 56, which passes through the second mounting hole and abuts against the pad block 53 at one end.
[0053] Specifically, to improve the stability of the protective frame 2 installation, two opposing first mounting holes are provided at the lower ends of the two clamping plates 52. Clamping members 55 pass through the two first mounting holes to clamp the mounting beam 13 between the two clamping plates 52. Two opposing second mounting holes are provided at the upper ends of the two clamping plates 52. Two locking members 56 are provided, each passing through one of the two second mounting holes. The other end of each locking member 56 abuts against the pad 53 for locking. It can be understood that the clamping member 55 is a clamping bolt, and the locking member 56 is a locking bolt.
[0054] The present invention also proposes an underwater data cabin, including the aforementioned underwater protective structure.
[0055] Specifically, the underwater data cabin provided by this invention is equipped with an underwater protective structure, which can effectively prevent the dragging of fishing nets and the impact of heavy objects, thus improving its service life.
[0056] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
