DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] Embodiment one: please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An integrated device for monitoring and forecasting the motion state of a ship, comprising a portable computer body 100, a data acquisition module 200, a central processing module 300 and a communication module 400, wherein the portable computer body 100 comprises a display screen 101, the display screen 101 is hingedly arranged between the portable computer body 100, the top surface of the portable computer body 100 is further provided with a keyboard 102, and one side wall of the portable computer body 100 is provided with a handle 103. Therefore, the combined appearance of the portable computer body 100 and the display screen 101 is similar to a notebook computer, having the advantages of easy carrying and storing.

[0035] Further, the data acquisition module 200 comprises an inclination sensor 201 (model: PSD-S1) and an acceleration sensor 202 (model: Dytran 7705A1), the inclination sensor 201 and the acceleration sensor 202 are arranged in the portable computer body 100, and the acceleration sensor 202 has six in total, three acceleration sensors 202 are arranged on the left and right sides of the portable computer body 100 respectively, and the three acceleration sensors 202 on the same side of the portable computer body 100 are respectively used for detecting the acceleration in the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions; since the ship has six degrees of freedom in the process of sailing, i.e. up, down, left, right, front and back, in order to more accurately monitor the motion state of the ship, it is necessary to monitor the acceleration of the ship in the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions.

[0036] In addition, the central processing module 300 is arranged in the portable computer body 100, the inclination sensor 201 and the acceleration sensor 202 are both in communication connection with the central processing module 300, and a signal output end of the central processing module 300 is connected to the display screen 101; the communication module 400 is arranged in the portable computer body 100, and the central processing module 300 is connected through the communication module 400 for obtaining weather information and ship route information.

[0037] In the specific application process of the embodiment, the inclination sensor 201 and the acceleration sensor 202 respectively transmit the monitoring results to the central processing module 300 in real time, and the central processing module 300 also obtains weather information and ship route information through the communication module 400. Finally, the central processing module 300 predicts the acceleration and inclination data in the next few days or hours according to the historical acceleration, inclination data, weather information and route information, thereby playing a monitoring and prediction function.

[0038] Embodiment two: please refer to Figure 1 Figure 9 The embodiment also provides an integrated device for monitoring and predicting the motion state of a ship. The difference between the embodiment and the first embodiment is that the left and right sides of the portable computer body 100 are both provided with an embedded groove 104, and a rotating part 500 is rotatably arranged in the embedded groove 104; the three acceleration sensors 202 located on the same side of the portable computer body 100 are all arranged on the same rotating part 500. One end of the embedded groove 104 is provided with a main shaft 107, and one end of the rotating part 500 is rotatably connected with the main shaft 107. When the rotating part 500 is parallel to the side wall of the portable computer body 100, the rotating part 500 is completely retracted into the embedded groove 104. That is, the rotating part 500 can be retracted into the embedded groove 104 or extended outward.

[0039] ​Further, the top outer side of the main shaft 107 is sleeved with a torsion spring 108, two torsion arms of the torsion spring 108 abut with the rotating part 500 and the inner wall of the embedded groove 104 respectively; in the natural state, the torsion spring 108 is in the tightening state, and the torsion spring 108 has a tendency to push the rotating part 500 to turn outward. The top surface of the portable computer body 100 is provided with a strip-shaped port 105 on the left and right sides, which is communicated with the embedded groove 104, and the strip-shaped port 105 is slidably provided with a blocking block 106, the bottom end of the blocking block 106 extends into the embedded groove 104, and the outer surface of the rotating part 500 is provided with a clamping port 501 for embedding the blocking block 106. When the blocking block 106 is embedded in the clamping port 501, because the torsion spring 108 has a tendency to push the rotating part 500 to turn outward, the blocking block 106 can be tightly fitted with the clamping port 501, so as to limit the rotating part 500 in the embedded groove 104; when the rotating part 500 needs to be extended outward, the rotating part 500 is manually pressed inward, so that the blocking block 106 and the clamping port 501 are separated, and then the blocking block 106 is pushed to one side, so that the blocking block 106 and the rotating part 500 are dislocated, and then the rotating part 500 can be automatically extended outward under the action of the torsion spring 108.

[0040] It is worth mentioning that when the rotating part 500 is extended outward and there is no external force to block it, the rotating part 500 can finally rotate to be perpendicular to the side wall of the portable computer body 100, at this time, the outer surface of the rotating part 500 is fitted with the inner end of the embedded groove 104, and the position of the rotating part 500 remains fixed.

[0041] In addition, the rotating part 500 is a hollow rod structure, the inside of the rotating part 500 movably has a pulling part 502, the pulling part 502 is provided with a movable port 503 penetratingly formed thereon, the movable port 503 movably has a rotating shaft 504, and the top end of the rotating shaft 504 is provided with a mounting part 505; the three acceleration sensors 202 located on the same side of the portable computer body 100 are arranged on the mounting part 505 along the length direction of the mounting part 505. The inner end of the pulling part 502 is fixedly embedded with a spring contact bead 506, and the inner wall of the rotating part 500 and close to the end position is provided with a positioning groove 507 matched with the spring contact bead 506. The outer end width of the pulling part 502 is greater than the opening end width of the rotating part 500, which is to avoid the pulling part 502 from being completely retracted into the rotating part 500.

[0042] The outer fixed sleeve of the rotating shaft 504 is provided with a driven gear 508, and the movable opening 503 is slidably connected with a driving rack 509, which is engaged with the driven gear 508. The inner portion of the rotating part 500 and close to one end of the main shaft 107 is provided with a connecting block 510, which is connected with the driving rack 509 through a traction rope 511. When the steel ball of the spring impact ball 506 is embedded in the inner portion of the positioning groove 507, the traction rope 511 is in a taut state, and the length direction of the mounting part 505 is perpendicular to the length direction of the pulling part 502. The driving rack 509 is elastically connected in the movable opening 503 through a return spring 512. When the pulling part 502 is completely retracted into the inner portion of the rotating part 500, the traction rope 511 is in a relaxed state, and the length direction of the mounting part 505 is consistent with the length direction of the pulling part 502. That is, in the process of the pulling part 502 extending outward, the taut traction rope 511 is gradually straightened, and the traction rope 511 can pull the driving rack 509, thereby driving the driven gear 508 to rotate 90°, so that the mounting part 505 is parallel to the side wall of the portable computer body 100.

[0043] In the specific application process of the embodiment, it should be noted that, since the ship has a left and right swinging motion trend during sailing, if the acceleration sensor 202 is arranged on one side of the ship body, the detection result cannot represent the acceleration of the ship itself. If the acceleration sensor 202 is arranged at the center position of the ship, it cannot reflect the acceleration when the ship swings left and right. Therefore, in order to more intuitively and accurately monitor the ship motion state information, the portable computer body 100 needs to be located on the center axis of the ship, and then the two rotating parts 500 are unfolded outward, and the pulling part 502 is pulled outward, so that the three acceleration sensors 202 located on both sides can detect the acceleration information of both sides of the ship.

[0044] In addition, it should be noted that, since the size of the device is limited, although the rotating part 500 and the pulling part 502 are extended outward, the acceleration sensor 202 can be closer to the edge of the ship, but in fact, it still has a large distance from the edge of the ship. Therefore, in order to more accurately reflect the acceleration information of the edges of both sides of the ship, the acceleration sensor 202 detection information in the embodiment can be multiplied by a corresponding proportionality coefficient, so as to simulate and speculate the acceleration information of both sides of the ship.

[0045] It is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting; it is not intended to exclude myriad other embodiments of the present application that other inventors can develop based on the same general inventive concepts embodied by the described embodiments. That is, although the present application is described in terms of particular embodiments and implementations, it is to be understood that the terminology used is for the purpose of descriptive clarity and that it is intended to be limited only by the words recited in the appended claims. The scope of the present application shall be limited only by the claims.

[0046] While the embodiments of the application have been shown and described herein, it is to be understood that the application is not limited to these embodiments. Rather, numerous modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application as delineated by the claims and their equivalents.
