In addition, due to its large size, the formation of the acoustic array will be poor due to manufacturing, environmental external forces and other reasons, which is not conducive to ensuring the accuracy of use. At the same time, during the deployment and folding process, due to its large size, when it is subjected to unbalanced lateral forces, it is easy to cause the equipment to get stuck or damaged.

[0003] For example, the Chinese invention patent document with publication number CN117629376A discloses a large-scale rotating expandable acoustic array. However, the underwater carrying equipment is limited by factors such as site and space, and is inconvenient to deploy, transport and store.

[0055] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several changes and improvements can also be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0057] According to the present invention, an underwater expandable acoustic array carrying device includes: an autonomous control sealed cabin assembly 1, a bearing frame assembly 2, a motor drive assembly 3, a thrust seat assembly 4, an extension arm assembly 5, a lower limit watertight switch assembly 69, an upper limit watertight switch assembly 70, a tightener 80 and a tightening rope 81. The autonomous control sealed cabin assembly 1 is installed on the bearing frame assembly 2 by bolts. The drive motor assembly 3 is connected to the autonomous control sealed cabin assembly 1 by a coupling, and the floating nut assembly 50 in the thrust seat assembly 4 matches the screw rod 32 in the motor drive assembly 3. The lower limit watertight switch assembly 69 is arranged at the bottom of the load-bearing frame assembly 2, and the upper limit watertight switch assembly 70 is installed on the upper side of the load-bearing frame assembly 2. The extension arm assembly 5 has multiple groups, all of which are hinged on the load-bearing frame assembly 2 and the thrust seat assembly 4, and are arranged at equal angles to form a 360° array. The extension arm assemblies 5 are tightened in pairs using tightening ropes 81. A tightening device 80 is provided on the tightening ropes 81 between the two extension arm assemblies 5. The relative angles between the multiple extension arm assemblies 5 can be adjusted by the tightening device 80, and the formation stability of the acoustic array can be ensured by adjustment.

[0058] The working principle of the present invention is: the built-in circuit board and main control in the self-controlled sealed cabin assembly 1 can control the rotation of the motor autonomously or manually, thereby driving the screw 32 in the motor drive assembly 3 to rotate. When the screw 32 rotates, the thrust seat assembly 4 is driven to move up and down under the action of the floating nut assembly and the load-bearing rod. Since the load-bearing arm of the extension arm assembly 5 is hinged to the load-bearing frame assembly 2, and the thrust arm is hinged to the thrust seat assembly 4, when the thrust seat assembly 4 moves up and down, it will drive the extension arm assembly 5 to expand and retract. When the thrust seat assembly 4 moves upward and touches the upper limit watertight switch assembly 70, the equipment is deployed in place and stops; when the thrust seat assembly 4 moves downward and touches the lower limit watertight switch assembly 69, the equipment is retracted in place and stops. After the equipment is deployed, the tightening rope 81 is tightened, and the tightener 80 can be used to adjust the relative angles between the groups of extension arms to ensure the stability of the acoustic array formation. When the equipment is retracted, the tightening rope 81 will relax naturally and will not affect the use of the equipment. After being deployed again, the tightening rope 81 will be automatically tightened, pulling each extension arm assembly 5 to return to the initially adjusted formation state.

[0059] The present invention will be described in more detail below.

[0060] The autonomous control sealed cabin assembly 1 includes: a sealed upper end cover 7, a drive motor 8, a sealed housing 9, a motor reducer 10, a motor mounting flange 11, a diaphragm coupling 12, an adapter shaft 13, a sealed lower end cover 14, a dust cover 15, a dust ring 16, a pressure cover 17, an angular contact ball bearing 18 and a thrust roller bearing 19;

[0061] The load-bearing frame assembly 2 includes: an upper mounting seat assembly 20, a frame seat ear 21, a pressure plate 22, a suspension column 23, a load-bearing column 24, a column base 25, a bottom plate 26 and an intermediate connecting seat 27;

[0062] The motor drive assembly 3 includes: a screw 32, a mounting flange 33, a rolling bearing 34, a polytetrafluoroethylene sleeve 35, a bearing mounting seat 36, a thrust bearing 37, a screw top shoulder 38, a limit ring 39, a screw bottom top shoulder 40, a bottom bearing seat 41, a thrust needle roller bearing 42, a wear-resistant centering sleeve 43, a bottom rolling bearing 44, a bottom mounting flange 45, and a double diaphragm coupling 84;

[0063] The thrust seat assembly 4 includes: a thrust seat ear 46, a thrust seat splicing block 47, a crimping plate 48, a C-type subassembly 49 and a floating nut assembly 50;

[0064] The extension arm assembly 5 includes: a load-bearing arm 61 , two thrust arms 62 , two parallel arms 63 , two carrying arms 64 , a carrying plate 65 , a wire harness plate 66 , a wire clamp 67 and a rotating shaft sleeve 68 .

[0065] The driving motor 8 in the autonomous control sealed cabin assembly 1 drives the screw 32 to rotate through the diaphragm coupling 12, driving the floating nut assembly 50 to move up and down. The nut 54 is stuck in the upper nut mounting cover 52 and the lower nut mounting cover 55, and the upper nut mounting cover 52 and the lower nut mounting cover 55 are respectively fastened to the thrust seat assembly 4. When the nut 54 moves up and down, it will drive the upper nut mounting cover 52 and the lower nut mounting cover 55, thereby driving the thrust seat assembly 4 to move up and down. The bearing arm 61 in the extension arm assembly 5 is hinged to the frame seat ear 21 on the bearing frame assembly 2, and the thrust arm 62 is hinged to the thrust seat ear 46 on the thrust seat assembly 4. When the thrust seat assembly 4 moves up and down, it will drive the extension arm assembly 5 to expand and retract. When the thrust seat assembly 4 hits the upper limit watertight switch assembly 70, the equipment is deployed to the final state. At the same time, the tightening rope 81 is tightened to ensure the relative position of the extension arm assembly 5. When the thrust seat assembly 4 hits the lower limit watertight switch assembly 69, the equipment is retracted to the minimum state. At this time, the tightening rope 81 is loose, which does not affect the transportation or storage of the equipment.

[0066] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to preferred examples.

[0068] Furthermore, the tightening rope 81 is wound around each group of the extension arm assemblies 5, and the tightening device 80 passes through the tightening rope 81 and is located between two extension arm assemblies 5. The number of tightening devices 80 can be adjusted according to the size of the extension arm assemblies 5 and the tightening effect required. When the device is deployed, the tightening device 80 tightens the tightening rope 81 to restrain the multiple extension arm assemblies 5 from each other, thereby ensuring the relative position of each extension arm assembly 5 is stable. Similarly, the tightening force of the tightening device 80 can be adjusted to adjust the position between the extension arm assemblies 5. When the device is folded, all tightening ropes 81 are automatically relaxed, which does not affect the folding of the device.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the autonomous control sealed cabin assembly 1 includes: a sealed upper end cover 7, a drive motor 8, a sealed housing 9, a motor reducer 10, a motor mounting flange 11, a diaphragm coupling 12, an adapter shaft 13, a sealed lower end cover 14, a dust cover 15, a dust ring 16, a pressure cover 17, an angular contact ball bearing 18 and a thrust roller bearing 19.

[0070] Furthermore, the sealed upper end cover 7, the sealed shell 9, the sealed lower end cover 14, the pressure cover 17, and the dust cover 15 together form a sealed cabin, wherein the sealed lower end cover 14, the pressure cover 17, and the dust cover 15 form a lower sealing cover. This design is easy to replace and assemble, and can reduce the replacement cost when the shaft or partial seal is damaged; the drive motor 8 and the motor reducer 10 are fastened to the motor mounting flange 11, and the drive motor 8 is mounted on the sealed lower end cover 14, and the drive motor 8 and the motor reducer 10 are fastened to the motor mounting flange 11. 10, the motor mounting flange 11, and the sealing lower end cover 14 are formed into one body; the output shaft of the motor reducer 10 is connected to the conversion shaft 13 through the diaphragm coupling 12; a boss is arranged in the middle of the adapter shaft 13, an angular contact ball bearing 18 is arranged at one end, and a thrust roller bearing 19 is arranged at the other end. The adapter shaft 13 is installed in the pressure cover 17. When the equipment is working in the deep sea, the motor shaft will be subjected to huge pressure. The design of the pressure end cover can effectively bear the pressure on the adapter shaft 13 and eliminate the positive pressure of the motor shaft.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the supporting frame assembly 2 includes: an upper mounting seat assembly 20, a frame seat ear 21, a pressure plate 22, a suspension column 23, a load-bearing column 24, a column base 25, a bottom plate 26, a lower limit watertight switch assembly 69, an upper limit watertight switch assembly 70 and an intermediate connecting seat 27.

[0072] Furthermore, the frame seat ears 21 are evenly distributed on the upper mounting seat assembly 20; the upper mounting seat assembly 20 is spliced, and the upper mounting seat assembly 20 and the bottom plate 26 are connected together through a plurality of evenly arranged load-bearing columns 24; the pressure plate 22 is mainly fixed by the load-bearing columns 24 and the upper mounting seat assembly 20, and the column base 25 has through holes in the radial direction, and bolts can be installed to enhance the tensile strength of the load-bearing columns 24; the intermediate connecting seat 27 is fastened to the upper mounting seat assembly 20 through the hanging columns 23; the upper mounting seat assembly 20 and the bottom plate 26 are both provided with positioning holes. The upper limit watertight switch assembly 70 and the lower limit watertight switch assembly 69 are respectively installed on the intermediate connecting seat 27 and the bottom plate 26, and when the upper limit watertight switch assembly 70 or the lower limit watertight switch assembly 69 is triggered, the driving motor 8 stops rotating.

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, the upper mounting seat assembly 20 can be an integrally formed structure or can be formed by splicing multiple components. When the upper mounting seat assembly 20 is a splicing structure, it includes: a splicing plate 28, a seat ear pull plate 29, a center positioning ring 30 and a positioning pin 31.

[0074] Furthermore, the center positioning ring 30 has an adaptive relationship with multiple splicing plates 28, and positioning pin holes are provided on the splicing plates 28 and the center positioning ring 30, which can ensure that the spliced ​​upper mounting seat assembly 20 has a higher positioning accuracy; the seat ear pull plate 29 can fix the frame seat ear 21 on the upper mounting seat assembly 20.

[0076] Furthermore, there are two or more arc-shaped conducting grooves 78, which are evenly installed inside the sealing seat 71, and the circuit of the watertight connector 77 is connected to the arc-shaped conducting groove 78. The conducting copper screw 73 is connected to the top rod 74 as a whole, and the top rod 74 is provided with a shoulder, one side of the shoulder presses on the rectangular spring 75, and the other side of the shoulder presses on the sealing cover 76; the lower watertight limit switch assembly 69 has the ability to work in a relatively deep water pressure environment. When the water pressure acts on the top rod 74, due to the internal and external pressure difference, the top rod 74 has a tendency to move inwards. The rectangular spring 75 has a high stiffness coefficient and can still not deform or slightly deform when subjected to the pressure difference. When the force applied by the mechanical device to the push rod 74 is greater than the elastic force of the rectangular spring 75, the rectangular spring 75 will be compressed, and then the push rod 74 will bring the conductive copper screw 73 into contact with the arc-shaped conductive groove 78. At this time, the circuit of the watertight connector 77 forms a short circuit, and it can be judged in the control cabin that the lower limit watertight switch assembly 69 is triggered, so that the corresponding action can be performed. When the mechanical force is withdrawn, the elastic force of the rectangular spring 75 is greater than the pressure of the push rod 74, and the rectangular spring 75 is restored, thereby driving the push rod 74 to leave the arc-shaped conductive groove 78, so that the circuit of the watertight connector 77 forms a short circuit, so that it can be judged that the lower limit watertight switch assembly 69 is restored.

[0079] Furthermore, the screw rod 32 is provided with a screw rod top shoulder 38 on the shaft shoulder, which can be directly supported on the thrust bearing 37; the screw rod 32 is also provided with a screw rod bottom shoulder 40 on the other side, which can be directly supported on the thrust needle roller bearing 42 in the lower bearing seat 41; the polytetrafluoroethylene sleeve 35 and the wear-resistant centering sleeve 43 can reduce the friction during the rotation of the screw rod 32, and at the same time can support the inner ring of the bearing; the rolling bearing 34 and the lower rolling bearing 44 can ensure that the screw rod 32 remains coaxial when rotating up and down, and the setting of the thrust bearing 37 can still ensure low friction rotation when the screw rod 32 is subjected to axial pressure.

[0080] like Figure 8 As shown, the thrust seat assembly 4 includes: a thrust seat ear 46, a thrust seat splicing block 47, a crimping plate 48, a C-type sub-assembly 49 and a floating nut assembly 50; the thrust seat ears 46 are arranged and installed on the thrust seat splicing block 47, the number of the thrust seat ears 46 is consistent with the number of the frame seat ears 21 on the bearing frame assembly 2, and are in the same longitudinal plane; the thrust seat splicing block 47 can have multiple pieces, and the multiple thrust seat splicing blocks 47 are spliced ​​into a circular thrust seat, and each thrust seat splicing block 47 is fixed by a crimping plate 48.

[0082] Furthermore, the upper nut mounting cover 52, the lower nut mounting cover 55 and the nut 54 are all fixed to the connecting plate 51 by bolts; the connecting plate 51 is fixedly mounted at the center position of the thrust seat assembly 4; the nut 54 in the floating nut assembly 50 is used in conjunction with the screw rod 32, and the nut 54 can perform a small range of circumferential and axial movements in the space formed by the upper nut mounting cover 52 and the lower nut mounting cover 55.

[0083] like Fig.10 As shown, the C-type subassembly 49 includes: a V-shaped elastic guide body 82, a sliding body 83, a polytetrafluoroethylene wear-resistant sleeve 57, a guide seat 58, a disc spring 59 and an adjusting screw 60. The disc spring 59 refers to a disc spring.

[0084] Furthermore, the V-shaped elastic guide body 82 is fixed together with the sliding body 83; the polytetrafluoroethylene wear-resistant sleeve 57 is fixed together with the guide seat 58; the disc spring 59 is sleeved on the sliding body 83; the adjusting screw 60 is connected to the threaded hole of the sliding body 83; multiple sets of disc springs 59 can be installed on the sliding body 83 as needed. When the stroke of the sliding body 83 is too large, the adjusting screw 60 can be tightened to reduce the stroke. At the same time, it is convenient to debug different thrust installation states during the later assembly of the whole machine to ensure the stable operation of the thrust seat assembly 4.

[0085] like Fig.11 As shown, the extension arm assembly 5 is the actuator of the unfolding device, including: a load-bearing arm 61, two thrust arms 62, two parallel arms 63, two carrying arms 64, a carrying plate 65, a wire harness plate 66, a wire clamp 67 and a rotating shaft sleeve 68.

[0087] Furthermore, the length of the hinge between the thrust arm 62 and the load-bearing arm 61 of the extension arm assembly 5 affects the movement stroke of the thrust seat assembly 4, and the length of the carrying arm 64 affects the extension and contraction ratio of the device. The deployment device can add a tightening rope 81 on the carrying arm 64 of the extension arm assembly 5 to connect each group of extension arm assemblies 5, but it does not affect the folding of the entire device. The displacement between the extension arm assemblies 5 after the deployment device is opened can be improved, and the rigidity of the extension arm assembly 5 can be improved at the same time. The floating nut assembly 50 has low cost and high efficiency. It can reduce the starting torque of the motor during the deployment process of the device. When encountering unbalanced forces, it can reduce the bearing capacity of the screw rod 32 and also reduce the bearing capacity of the drive motor. The deployment process of the deployment device is: the drive motor 8 is powered by the watertight cable on the sealed upper end cover 7. The drive motor 8 has a built-in control circuit. After the thrust seat assembly 4 touches the upper limit watertight switch 70, the motor automatically stops rotating and the device is deployed to the maximum position. The larger extension and contraction ratio enables the deployment device to have flexible deployment capabilities and is also convenient for transportation and storage.
