Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sonar, and in particular to a multifunctional lifting sonar device and an operating method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Sonar is a technology that uses the propagation and reflection characteristics of sound waves in water to navigate and measure distance through electro-acoustic conversion and information processing. It also refers to electronic equipment that uses this technology to detect underwater targets (existence, location, properties, direction of movement, etc.) and communicate. It is the most widely used and important device in hydroacoustics.

[0003] In the application of modern ships, sonar probes are installed in the empty compartment at the front side of the bottom of the ship. In the past, sonar probes were usually fixed on the outermost layer of the bottom from the outside of the hull, which required maintenance personnel to go underwater or lift the hull to replace or maintain the sonar probes. The replacement or maintenance of the sonar probes cannot be completed in the cabin.

[0004] In addition, when the sonar probe is about to be hit, since the current sonar system is not equipped with a risk avoidance mechanism, it is impossible to immediately detect the obstacle and retract the sonar probe in time, resulting in the sonar probe being hit or even directly damaged.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a multifunctional sonar device that can not only perform maintenance and repair on the sonar probe without maintenance personnel going into the water or lifting the hull, but also immediately retract the sonar probe into the hull when an obstacle is detected to prevent the sonar probe from being collided.

The multifunctional lifting sonar device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The specific operation method is as follows: The opening of the closed barrel (1) is closed by driving the valve plate (203) through the corresponding servo hydraulic cylinder (201), and the opening of the bottom plate (7) is opened by driving the valve plate (203) through the corresponding servo hydraulic cylinder (201); the second hydraulic cylinder (401) drives the first lifting rod (402) to move downward, and the second lifting rod (403) to move upward, and the protection claw (407) opens, and the sonar probe (5) passes through the protection claw (407) and then passes through the opening of the bottom plate (7) into the water; The sonar probe (5) detects obstacles in the water. When an obstacle that is about to collide is detected, the control end (6) immediately retracts the sonar probe (5); when the open protective claw (407) contacts the obstacle, the protective claw (407) is pushed by the obstacle and slightly bends and deforms. After the bending sensor (4071) detects the change in bending, it transmits a signal to the control end (6), and the control end (6) immediately retracts the sonar probe (5); When the control end (6) retracts the sonar probe (5), the hydraulic cylinder 2 (401) is started, the lifting rod 1 (402) moves upward, the lifting rod 2 (403) moves downward, the sonar probe (5) moves upward, the protection claw (407) rotates inward, and the sonar probe (5) is located inside the gathered protection claw (407); the rotating frame (303) moves upward, the sonar probe (5) moves to above the opening of the bottom plate (7), and the opening of the bottom plate (7) is closed; When the sonar probe (5) needs to be maintained or repaired, the sonar probe (5) is first retracted and the opening of the ship bottom plate (7) is sealed, then the rotating frame (303) rises, and the sonar probe (5) enters the closed barrel (1); the rotating frame (303) rotates in the closed barrel (1) so that the sonar probe (5) faces upward; the opening of the closed barrel (1) is opened, the rotating frame (303) continues to rise, and the hydraulic cylinder 2 (401) is started to open the protective claw (407), so that the sonar probe (5) extends out and enters the internal environment of the ship bottom plate (7) through the opening of the closed barrel (1), and the maintenance or repair personnel maintain, repair or replace the sonar probe (5) in the internal environment of the ship bottom plate (7).
