Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of marine equipment, and in particular to an installation structure of a multi-beam depth sounder probe. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are three main installation methods for multi-beam echo sounder probes used for hydrographic measurement in coastal and inland waterways. The first is a waterproof fixed installation on the bottom of the ship, which mainly fixes the probe on the bottom of the ship. This installation method is more difficult for the replacement and maintenance of the probe. The second is the measurement well installation method, which sets a measurement well on the ship and hoists the probe into the measurement well through tooling. After the probe passes through the measurement well, the measurement work can be carried out. This installation method has the problems of complex structure and high processing difficulty. The hoisting method will cause the probe to be not fixed firmly enough. During the measurement process, the probe will shake. The third is a portable installation on the hull. By designing a portable tooling on the hull, the probe is fixed to the tooling. This installation method has the problems of long time and high cost. It takes a long time to disassemble and assemble the tooling, and the design work requires a lot of design costs.

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, device, product or server that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units that are not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units that are inherent to these processes, methods, products or servers.

[0025] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0026] The present invention discloses a specific implementation of a multi-beam depth sounder probe installation structure, which is mainly used for ships. The ship can be a single-hull ship or a catamaran ship. This embodiment is described by taking a catamaran ship as an example. Figure 1 The ship includes a first hull 11 and a second hull 12 spaced apart from the first hull 11 , and the first hull 11 and the second hull 12 are fixedly connected via a connecting bridge 13 .

[0027] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a maintenance well 2 is provided on the connecting bridge 13, and the installation structure of this embodiment includes an articulated seat 31 fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting bridge 13. The articulated seat 31 is provided with a flip bracket 3 that can flip relative to the articulated seat 31, and the top end of the flip bracket 3 is hinged to the articulated seat 31. It should be noted that the articulated structure can adopt a conventional articulated structure, for example, a pair of articulated ears are provided at the top end of the flip bracket 3, and each articulated ear is provided with a first articulated hole. The articulated seat 31 can be prepared by a sheet metal part, and a second articulated hole is provided on the sheet metal part. During assembly, the sheet metal part is inserted between the pair of articulated ears, and the first articulated hole and the second articulated hole are aligned in the axial direction. A rotating shaft or a latch is used as a hinge. After the hinge passes through the first articulated hole and the second articulated hole, the articulation between the flip bracket 3 and the articulated seat 31 can be completed.

[0028] Optionally, the flip bracket 3 is arranged in a J-shape, and a probe assembly 35 is detachably mounted on the bottom end of the flip bracket 3. Specifically, a bracket main pipe 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the flip bracket 3, and the bracket main pipe 33 is perpendicular to the bottom end of the flip bracket 3. A mounting flange 34 for connecting the probe assembly 35 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the bracket main pipe 33. The probe assembly 35 can be quickly disassembled and assembled through the mounting flange 34, which improves convenience and practicality. Different probe assemblies 35 can be replaced according to measurement requirements, thereby improving the functionality of the mounting structure.

[0029] In order to limit the flipping angle of the flip bracket 3, the articulated seat 31 is provided with a limit baffle 32 for limiting the flipping angle. The limit baffle 32 is vertically welded to the articulated seat 31. In the working state, the side of the limit part abuts against the side of the flip bracket 3, thereby limiting the flip bracket 3 and preventing the flip bracket 3 from flipping excessively. The stability of the flip bracket 3 in the working state can be further improved, and the measurement accuracy can be further improved.

[0030] As an improvement, the inspection well 2 is provided with a tensioning mechanism for tensioning the flip bracket 3. Figure 1 and Figure 2, the tensioning mechanism includes a wire rope 42, a turnbuckle screw 41 and a steering ring 43. Since the ship in this embodiment is a double hull structure, two tensioning mechanisms are provided and are symmetrically arranged. The number of wire ropes 42, the number of turnbuckle bolts and the number of steering rings 43 are all two. In other embodiments, the number of tensioning mechanisms can also be set to one, which can be selectively set according to needs. Specifically, the side of the first hull 11 and the side of the second hull 12 are fixedly installed with a steering ring 43, one end of the turnbuckle screw 41 is fixedly connected to the inspection well 2, and the other end of the turnbuckle screw 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the wire rope 42, and the other end of the wire rope 42 passes through the steering ring 43 and is fixedly connected to the flip bracket 3. In order to facilitate the fixing of the steel wire rope 42 to the flip bracket 3 and the inspection well 2 respectively, the inside of the inspection well 2 is fixedly installed with a fifth eye plate 55 for fixing the turnbuckle screw 41, one end of the steel wire rope 42 is fixedly connected to the fifth eye plate 55, and the bottom end of the flip bracket 3 is fixedly installed with a second eye plate 52, and the other end of the steel wire rope 42 is fixedly connected to the second eye plate 52. It should be noted that the second eye plate 52 can be fixed on the flip bracket 3 by welding, the fifth eye plate 55 can be fixed inside the inspection well 2 by welding, and the steering ring 43 can be fixed on the side of the ship by welding. During operation, the turnbuckle screw 41 can be adjusted so that the tensioning mechanism is in a tightened state, so that the flip bracket 3 is in a stable and firm working state. By setting a tensioning mechanism to lock the flip bracket 3, the shaking or deflection generated by the flip bracket 3 in the working state can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of the probe assembly 35, improving work efficiency, and reducing equipment safety risks and operation safety risks.

[0031] In order to be able to recycle or store the probe assembly 35 in a shelved state, Figure 3 The inspection well 2 is also provided with a locking mechanism for locking the flip bracket 3. Specifically, the locking mechanism includes a first eye plate 51 fixedly mounted on the inspection well 2, and the first eye plate 51 can be fixed inside the inspection well 2 by welding. A sixth eye plate 56 is also fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the flip bracket 3, and the sixth eye plate 56 can be fixed on the flip bracket 3 by welding. In the shelving state, the flip bracket 3 flips toward the inspection well 2, and the sixth eye plate 56 is fixedly connected to the first eye plate 51 by external bolts. After the sixth eye plate 56 of the flip bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the first eye plate 51, the bottom end of the flip bracket 3 and the probe assembly 35 are placed in the inspection well 2, which can be understood as the probe assembly 35 being suspended inside the inspection well 2.

[0032] Optionally, the tensioning mechanism also includes a foldable strut 6. The strut 6 can be composed of two, three, four or more sub-struts 6, and two adjacent sub-struts 6 can be hinged by a hinge. The foldable structure of the strut 6 facilitates the storage of the strut 6. Specifically, the bottom end of the flip bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the third eye plate 53, and the inspection well 2 is fixedly connected to the fourth eye plate 54. One end of the strut 6 is hinged to the third eye plate 53, and the other end of the strut 6 is hinged to the fourth eye plate 54. The strut 6 mainly plays a supporting and reinforcing role, so that the flip bracket 3 is more stable in the working state, and further improves the measurement accuracy and the strength of the entire installation structure.

[0033] In this example, see Figure 2 An inspection cover 21 is also provided above the inspection well 2. The inspection cover 21 is hinged on one side of the inspection well 2. A wiring pipe 22 is provided on the top of the inspection cover 21. The wiring pipe 22 is connected to the inspection well 2. A blind flange 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the wiring pipe 22. The inspection cover 21 mainly plays a role of safety protection, while the wiring pipe 22 is convenient for wiring. The data line or power line of the probe assembly 35 can be led out from the wiring pipe 22, so that the probe assembly 35 can communicate with external equipment.

[0034] The working process of the multi-beam depth sounder probe installation structure of this embodiment is as follows: the first step is to open the inspection cover 21 hinged on the inspection well 2, install the probe assembly 35 on the mounting flange 34 at the bottom end of the flip bracket 3, and lead the signal line of the probe assembly 35 out of the bracket main pipe 33 in sequence. The second step is to hinge and fix the bottom end of the folded support rod 6 on the third eye plate 53 of the flip bracket 3, and then tie the signal line to the support rod 6 with tape. The third step is to ensure that the two ends of the wire rope 42 are firmly connected to the second eye plate 52 of the flip bracket 3 and the fifth eye plate 55 in the inspection well 2 (ensure that the wire rope 42 passes through the corresponding turning ring 43), and then separate the sixth eye plate 56 of the flip bracket 3 from the first eye plate 51 in the inspection well 2. Step 4: Flip the bracket 3 downward, and flip the bracket 3 in a direction away from the inspection well 2. After reaching a certain height, the folded support rod 6 is fully unfolded, and the flip bracket 3 is stuck by the limit baffle 32. Then, the top end of the support rod 6 is hinged to the fourth eye plate 54 of the inspection well 2. Step 5: Adjust the turnbuckle screw 41 so that the wire rope 42 is in a taut state. Step 6: Lead the signal line of the probe assembly 35 out of the wiring tube 22, and close the inspection cover 21. The installation is complete.

[0035] When the installation structure is stored, first separate the top end of the support rod 6 from the fourth eye plate 54 in the inspection well 2, lift the support rod 6 by an external electric hoist or manual hoist, and flip the flip bracket 3 toward the inspection well 2. After lifting to a certain height, the bottom end of the flip bracket 3 and the probe assembly 35 are located in the inspection well 2, and then fix the sixth eye plate 56 on the flip bracket 3 with the first eye plate 51 in the inspection well 2 by stainless steel bolts, thus completing the flipping of the flip bracket 3 and the storage of the probe assembly 35. At this time, the wire rope 42 of the tensioning mechanism is in a relaxed state.

[0036] The installation structure of the multi-beam echo sounder probe of this embodiment is provided with a maintenance well 2 and a flip bracket 3. In the shelving state, the probe assembly 35 can be moved into the maintenance well 2 with the assistance of the flip bracket 3, which is convenient for workers to maintain and disassemble the probe assembly 35. Compared with the prior art, the labor intensity of surveying workers is reduced, the labor cost is reduced, and the problem of inconvenience in use in the past is solved. This flip storage structure is simple and compact, with low manufacturing cost, and can effectively store the probe assembly 35 to prevent the probe assembly 35 from affecting the navigation of the ship. The overall structure is simple and compact, the operation is convenient and quick, and the detection efficiency can be effectively improved.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the installation structure of a multi-beam echo sounder probe disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention discloses only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments can still be modified, or some of the technical features therein can be replaced by equivalents.
