Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic detection, in particular to a high-pressure resistant underwater ultrasonic detection device. Background Art

[0002] Ultrasonic detection refers to a detection method achieved through ultrasonic technology, which is mainly achieved by using sound waves with a frequency higher than the human hearing frequency. Ultrasonic detection can obtain information about the internal structure of the object being detected without destroying it. In the case of poor underwater visual environment, ultrasonic detectors can be used to generate high-definition images, which is suitable for precision detection.

[0003] The invention with publication number CN109239716A discloses an underwater detection device, which is designed with a heavy block that can make the detection device sink to the bottom of the water quickly. At the same time, heavy blocks of different weights are configured through a threaded structure to facilitate use in various environments; multiple floating belts are provided, and each floating belt is provided with an ultrasonic transmitting device to facilitate detection in multiple directions.

By implementing this technical solution, the detection position can be accurately positioned through the flexible rotation of the laser transmitting probe, thereby achieving higher detection accuracy.

[0037] See also Figure 1-Figure 9 , the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0038] Embodiment 1: In order to solve the problems of the existing detector body 1 during use and operation, this embodiment adopts the following technical scheme: a high-pressure resistant underwater ultrasonic detection device, including a detector body 1, and an ultrasonic probe 2 fixedly installed at the top center position of the detector body 1; a drainage mechanism is arranged below the detector body 1, and the drainage mechanism includes a drainage box 5, and a driving drive 6 is arranged on the left and right sides of the rear of the drainage box 5; the driving drive 6 included in the drainage mechanism is located on the left and right sides of the rear of the bottom surface of the detector body 1, and the interior of the symmetrically arranged driving drive 6 is provided with a driving impeller 12 through rotation, thereby assisting the movement of the detector body 1.

[0039] The drainage mechanism includes a driving shaft 13, and the driving shaft 13 is rotatably arranged on the left and right sides of the drainage box 5 through bearings, and the symmetrically arranged driving shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the travel impeller 12 inside the travel driver 6; the drainage mechanism includes a reciprocating threaded rod 14, and the reciprocating threaded rod 14 is rotatably arranged in the front middle part of the drainage box 5 through bearings, and positioning brackets 15 are fixedly arranged on both ends of the reciprocating threaded rod 14, and the top surface of the positioning bracket 15 is fixedly arranged with an induction switch 16, and the top end of the induction switch 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the detector body 1.

[0040] The drainage mechanism includes a drainage brush rod 17, and the drainage brush rod 17 is threadedly connected to the left and right outer walls of the reciprocating threaded rod 14, and the rotation of the reciprocating threaded rod 14 drives the drainage brush rod 17 to reciprocate in the left and right directions, so that intermittent contact is made between the drainage brush rod 17 and the induction switch 16, so that the induction switch 16 controls the detection element installed inside the detector body 1, thereby preventing the entangled aquatic plant debris from affecting the monitoring operation of the monitoring detector.

[0041] The front end of the reciprocating threaded rod 14 included in the guidance mechanism is meshed and connected to the front end of the driving shaft 13 through a bevel gear set 18, and the left and right outer walls of the reciprocating threaded rod 14 are fixedly provided with incomplete gears 19, and a guide gear 20 is meshed and provided below the incomplete gear 19; the guide gear 20 included in the guidance mechanism is rotatably arranged on the left and right sides of the top surface of the protection platform 3 through a torsion spring, and the rotating shaft of the symmetrically arranged guide gear 20 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the flip resistor 21, and the front end of the symmetrically arranged flip resistor 21 is fitted on the outer wall of the obstacle overturning plate 4, and the obstacle overturning plate 4 is driven by the rotation of the flip resistor 21.

[0042] like Figure 6-Figure 9 As shown, after the detector body 1 is put into the water, it works through the travel driver 6 included in the drainage mechanism, and the travel impeller 12 arranged inside the travel driver 6 rotates through the driving shaft 13 inside the drainage box 5, so as to assist the detector body 1 to move through the travel driver 6. At the same time, the ultrasonic probe 2 arranged on the top surface of the detector body 1 sends and receives ultrasonic waves, and the internal processing chip of the detector body 1 realizes data processing to draw an image of the underwater environment.

[0043] Furthermore, the driving shaft 13 installed inside the drainage box 5 drives the reciprocating threaded rod 14 to rotate through the bevel gear group 18, so that the reciprocating threaded rod 14 drives the drainage brush rod 17 on the left and right outer walls to move back and forth in the left and right directions.

[0044] The brush rods 17 on the left and right sides of the front end of the detector body 1 move back and forth, and after moving to the induction switch 16 above the positioning bracket 15, they sense it, so that the induction switch 16 controls the monitoring detector installed inside the detector body 1 to operate after decontamination and cleaning, to avoid the entangled aquatic plant debris affecting the normal operation of the monitoring detector.

[0045] Embodiment 2: In order to solve the problems encountered by the existing detector body 1 during its use and operation, this embodiment adopts the following technical scheme: an obstacle crossing mechanism is provided on the bottom surface of the detector body 1, and the obstacle crossing mechanism includes a protective platform 3, and the protective platform 3 is installed on the bottom surface of the detector body 1, and obstacle crossing flip plates 4 are elastically rotatably provided at both the front and rear ends of the protective platform 3; the obstacle crossing mechanism includes an obstacle crossing rotating wheel 7, and the obstacle crossing rotating wheel 7 is rotatably installed inside the bottom end of the obstacle crossing flip plate 4 through a driving motor, and after the obstacle crossing flip plate 4 and the obstacle crossing rotating wheel 7 rotate to contact the underwater obstacle, the detector body 1 is assisted to get rid of the jam and avoid movement obstruction.

[0048] Furthermore, when the detector body 1 encounters a higher obstacle and cannot move during driving, the reciprocating threaded rod 14 rotating in the guiding mechanism drives the incomplete gear 19 on the outer wall to rotate, and drives the flip resistor 21 to rotate after engaging the guide gear 20, so that the front end of the flip resistor 21 drives the obstacle-crossing flip plate 4 and the obstacle-crossing rotating wheel 7 to flip backward, thereby driving the detector body 1 to be lifted upward to overcome the obstacle. When the guide gear 20 is engaged with the incomplete gear 19, the torsion spring drives the guide gear 20 and the flip resistor 21 to rotate upward, so that the obstacle-crossing flip plate 4 is reset to assist the detector body 1 in subsequent driving and improve its passability.
