Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of waterway construction facilities, and in particular relates to a submarine tide measuring auxiliary device. Background Art
[0002] During the process of waterway construction, tide gauge activities are usually required. Tide gauge refers to the process of obtaining tidal information by measuring the height change of sea level. The main purpose of tide gauge is to understand the local tidal properties in order to make tide forecasts, calculate the average sea level, depth reference surface, etc. This information is very important for military, transportation, aquatic products, surveying and mapping and other departments. By collecting tidal data in the construction area and calculating the tidal model, it can better guide construction activities, improve the accuracy and effectiveness of construction, check and evaluate construction risks in advance, and conduct expected management.
[0003] In the prior art, tide gauges are used to conduct the aforementioned tide gauge activities. Tide gauges are relatively precise measuring instruments, usually including acoustic tide gauges, direct pressure-sensing pressure tide gauges, etc. When measuring the tide, the tide gauge is lowered to the bottom of the water to record the depth data. In existing operations, in order to enable the tide gauge to be stably sunk on the mud surface at the bottom of the water, it is usually necessary to set a counterweight (such as stone blocks, cement piers, etc.) for the tide gauge. However, the existing means cannot ensure that the tide gauge is stable above the mud surface at the bottom of the water, resulting in unstable measurements. On the other hand, due to changes in the tide level, the water flow has an impact and disturbance effect on the tide gauge. In addition, there are often reefs on the mud surface at the bottom of the waterway, and stones generated during the dredging construction process, etc., which cause the tide gauge to be impacted and easily damaged. In summary, it is necessary to develop and design a tide gauge auxiliary equipment that enables the tide gauge to work stably at the bottom of the water and provide the tide gauge with necessary protection. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a submarine tide gauge auxiliary device, which enables the tide gauge to work stably underwater and provides necessary protection for the tide gauge.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a submarine tide gauge auxiliary equipment, including a bottom frame with side supports installed on the outer sides of the four corners, a stabilizing support leg assembly with controllable deformation installed on each side support, a group of longitudinal columns and a group of inclined columns installed in the middle of the bottom frame, a top frame installed at the top ends of the longitudinal columns and the inclined columns, a hanging beam installed in the middle of the longitudinal columns and the inclined columns, a supporting inner frame installed in the middle and lower parts of the inclined columns, and a tide gauge installed and fixed between the hanging beam and the supporting inner frame; a lifting ear is also installed in the middle of the top frame.
[0006] Preferably, the stabilizing leg assembly includes a sleeve with an internal thread installed and fixed on the side support, a threaded rod is provided inside the sleeve, a leg base is installed below the side support, and two left and right support blocks with pointed ends are provided at the lower part of the leg base. The upper part of the support block is connected to the leg base through an outer support arm and a connecting arm, and the middle part of the support block is connected to the leg base by an inner support arm. A lifting block is also provided inside the leg base, and the lower end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting block, and the side of the lifting block is connected by a hinge axis between the inner arm and the outer support arm.
[0007] Preferably, it also includes a middle frame, which is located between the bottom frame and the top frame, and a plurality of protective fence rods are installed between the middle frame and the bottom frame.
[0008] Preferably, a protective bottom net is installed in the middle of the bottom frame and directly below the tide gauge.
[0009] Preferably, a plurality of counterweights are mounted on the bottom frame, the counterweights comprising a counterweight body, support plates are mounted on both sides of the counterweight body, the support plates are overlapped on the middle profile of the bottom frame and fixedly connected with bolts.
[0010] Preferably, the tide gauge is fixed between the hanging crossbeam and the supporting inner frame by means of binding straps.
[0011] Preferably, roller assemblies are installed at the four corners of the bottom frame, and the roller assembly includes a roller column and a roller installed at the lower end of the roller column. A bearing seat is installed on the side support and on the inner side of the stabilizing leg assembly, and the upper end of the roller column is installed in the bearing seat.
[0012] The advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:
[0013] The present invention provides a submarine tide gauge auxiliary device. Compared with the existing method of using a tide gauge for tide gauge operation, the auxiliary device is used as a bearing frame of the tide gauge, and the tide gauge is installed and fixed at the inner middle position of the bearing frame, so that the tide gauge is well protected, and the tide gauge is effectively prevented from being subjected to impact during lowering to the bottom of the water, lifting to the surface of the water and measuring work, providing effective protection for the tide gauge and preventing the tide gauge from being damaged.
[0014] Since the stabilizing foot assemblies are arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the bearing frame structure, the auxiliary equipment equipped with the tide gauge can be more stably settled on the bottom mud surface, and the tide gauge is ensured to be in a stable underwater state during the entire measurement period, which helps to achieve a good measurement effect. The state of the stabilizing foot assembly can be adjusted and set, and can be switched between the unfolded horizontal support state (can stably fall on the hard support surface) and the folded tip support state (can be inserted into the mud surface), allowing the adjustment setting to be adjusted according to the type of the bottom mud surface, further ensuring the stability of the tide gauge and the auxiliary equipment at the bottom of the water.

[0021] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are given to explain in detail.
[0022] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The submarine tide gauge auxiliary equipment of the present invention comprises a bottom frame 3 with side supports 14 installed on the outer sides of the four corners, a controllable deformation stabilizing leg assembly 1 is installed on each side support 14, a group of longitudinal columns 9 and a group of inclined columns 10 are installed in the middle of the bottom frame 3, and a top frame 11 is installed at the top of the longitudinal columns 9 and the inclined columns 10. As shown in the figure, the bottom frame 3 and the top frame 11 are both rectangular frames, which are built with metal profiles (such as C-shaped steel, square-section steel pipes, etc.), the longitudinal columns 9 and a group of inclined columns 10 play a role of middle support, the lower ends of the longitudinal columns 9 and the inclined columns 10 are fixedly connected to the profile of the bottom frame 3, and the upper ends of the longitudinal columns 9 and the inclined columns 10 are fixedly connected to the profile of the top frame 11.
[0023] A lifting lug 12 is also installed in the middle of the top frame 11. The lifting lug 12 is used to connect to the ship's lifting equipment such as a ship crane. The lower end of the steel cable of the ship crane is connected to the lifting lug 12. The lifting and lowering of the tide gauge auxiliary equipment is controlled by controlling the retraction and extension of the steel cable.
[0024] A hanging crossbeam 8 is installed in the middle of the vertical column 9 and the inclined column 10, and a supporting inner frame 6 is installed in the middle and lower part of the inclined column 10. The tide gauge 5 is installed and fixed between the hanging crossbeam 8 and the supporting inner frame 6. As shown in the figure, the tide gauge 5 is cylindrical in shape as a whole. In this embodiment, the tide gauge 5 is fixed between the hanging crossbeam 8 and the supporting inner frame 6 by binding with a strap, which can ensure that the tide gauge 5 is stably fixed and can be easily disassembled and assembled on the auxiliary equipment when necessary.
[0025] In this embodiment, a middle frame 4 is also included. The middle frame 4 is located between the bottom frame 3 and the top frame 11. A plurality of protective fence rods 7 are installed between the middle frame 4 and the bottom frame 3. Each protective fence rod 7 provides protection for the tide gauge 5 from the side. At the same time, the middle frame 4 also serves to enhance the overall structural strength. The middle part of the middle frame 4 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal column 9 and a group of inclined columns 10, and the hanging beam 8 is fixedly connected to the profile of the middle frame 4.
[0026] In this embodiment, a protective bottom net 15 is installed in the middle of the bottom frame 3 and directly below the tide gauge 5. The protective bottom net 15 is used to provide a protective function for the tide gauge 5 from below. In this way, when the tide gauge auxiliary equipment falls on a reef, due to the blocking effect of the protective bottom net 15, the reef will not touch the tide gauge 5 upwards.
[0027] In this embodiment, a plurality of counterweights 13 are also installed on the bottom frame 3. The counterweights 13 include a counterweight body, and support plates are installed on both sides of the counterweight body. The support plates are overlapped on the middle profile of the bottom frame 3 and fixedly connected by bolts. The counterweights 13 are used to increase the counterweight and improve the stability of the tide gauge auxiliary equipment when it is lowered to the bottom of the water, lifted to the surface of the water, and measured underwater. The counterweights 13 are detachable structures and can be installed or disassembled as needed.
[0028] In this embodiment, roller assemblies 2 are installed at the four corners of the bottom frame 3, and the roller assemblies 2 include roller columns and rollers installed at the lower ends of the roller columns. A bearing seat 16 is installed on the side support 14 and inside the stabilizing leg assembly 1, and the upper end of the roller column is installed in the bearing seat 16. Each roller assembly 2 improves the convenience of the tide gauge auxiliary device when it is shifted on the ship deck. Each roller assembly 2 is a universal roller assembly, so the tide gauge auxiliary device can be pushed and shifted on the deck when necessary, reducing the workload of personnel.
[0029] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , we can see that:
[0030] The stabilizing foot support assembly 1 comprises a sleeve 1-2 with an internal thread fixed on a side support 14, and a threaded rod 1-1 is arranged inside the sleeve 1-2. A foot support base 1-3 is installed below the side support 14, and two left and right support blocks 1-6 with pointed ends are arranged at the lower part of the foot support base 1-3. The upper part of the support block 1-6 is connected to the foot support base 1-3 through an outer support arm 1-4 and a connecting arm 1-7, and the middle part of the support block 1-6 is connected to the foot support base 1-3 through an inner support arm 1-5. A lifting block 1-9 is also arranged inside the foot support base 1-3, and the lower end of the threaded rod 1-1 is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting block 1-9, and the side of the lifting block 1-9 is connected to the hinge shaft of the outer support arm 1-4 through an inner arm 1-8.
[0031] Specifically, the upper end of the connecting arm 1-7 is hingedly connected to the outer side of the supporting arm 1-4, the lower end of the connecting arm 1-7 is hingedly connected to the outer side of the upper end of the supporting block 1-6, the upper end of the outer side supporting arm 1-4 is fixedly installed with a rotating shaft and the rotating shaft passes through the supporting leg base 1-3, a swing arm is fixedly installed in the middle of the rotating shaft, the lower end of the swing arm is hingedly connected to the outer end of the inner arm 1-8, the inner end of the inner arm 1-8 is hingedly connected to the side of the lifting block 1-9, the middle part of the inner supporting arm 1-5 is hingedly connected to the bottom of the supporting leg base 1-3, the upper end of the inner supporting arm 1-5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the supporting leg base 1-3, and the lower end of the inner supporting arm 1-5 is hingedly connected to the upper end of the supporting block 1-6.
[0032] When the threaded rod 1-1 is rotated to move the lifting block 1-9 downward, the outer end of the outer support arm 1-4 swings downward, and the upper outer side of the support block 1-6 is pressed downward through the connecting arm 1-7, so that the two support blocks 1-6 are folded inward at the same time to form a Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the folded tip support state shown in the figure, if the bottom of the water is a relatively soft mud surface, then under the action of gravity, the lower part of the four stable support leg assemblies 1 can be inserted into the mud surface, which can improve the overall stability. When the threaded rod 1-1 is rotated to make the lifting block 1-9 move upward, the outer end of the outer support arm 1-4 swings upward, and the upper outer side of the support block 1-6 is lifted upward through the connecting arm 1-7, and then the two support blocks 1-6 are simultaneously unfolded outward, and finally unfolded to a nearly horizontal state, which is called the unfolded horizontal support state. At this time, if the bottom mud surface is a relatively hard mud surface (for example, scattered gravel, etc.), the stabilizing support leg assembly 1 in the unfolded state can improve the overall stability.
[0033] The above two application states are based on the understanding of the bottom mud surface state at the tide measuring point. Before performing the specific tide measuring operation, each stabilizing leg assembly 1 is adjusted and set to the above-mentioned folded tip support state or unfolded horizontal support state.
