DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0025] Example 1 like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a submarine cable fault monitoring device proposed by the present invention includes a bottom plate 1, a swing assembly, a power conversion mechanism and a reinforcement mechanism.

[0026] The bottom plate 1 is provided with a cover body 2 and a rotating shaft 3 that rotates and penetrates the cover body 2, and a monitoring component is provided at the top of the rotating shaft 3. A swinging component for driving the rotating shaft 3 and the monitoring component to swing back and forth at a certain angle is provided inside the cover body 2, and a power conversion mechanism for cooperating with the water flow to supply energy to the swinging component is provided on the cover body 2. A reinforcement mechanism is provided on the bottom plate 1 to firmly fix the bottom plate 1 on the seabed.

[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4The monitoring assembly includes a monitor 4, an adjusting motor 5, a rotating plate 6 and a rotating seat 7. Two rotating seats 7 are arranged opposite to each other at the top of the rotating shaft 3, and an adjusting motor 5 is installed on the side of one rotating seat 7. The output end of the adjusting motor 5 passes through the two rotating seats 7 and can rotate relative to the two rotating seats 7. The rotating plate 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the adjusting motor 5, and the monitor 4 is installed on one side of the rotating plate 6. The adjusting motor 5 can drive the rotating plate 6 to rotate around the power output shaft of the adjusting motor 5, thereby adjusting the monitoring direction of the monitor 4.

[0028] It should be understood that the adjusting motor 5 and the monitoring instrument 4 are all waterproof devices.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the swing assembly includes a strip plate 8, a linkage shaft 10 and a convex shaft 12. A strip through hole 9 is provided in the axial direction of the strip plate 8, and a through hole is provided at one end of the strip plate 8. The through hole is different from the strip through hole, and the rotating shaft 3 passes through the through hole. The rotating shaft 3 and the end of the strip plate 8 are fixedly connected. A linkage shaft 10 located on one side of the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably arranged in the cover body 2, and a connecting plate 11 is positioned and connected at the upper end of the linkage shaft 10. The connecting plate 11 is located below the strip plate 8, and a convex shaft 12 that passes through the strip through hole 9 is provided at the eccentric position of the upper end surface thereof.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the power conversion mechanism includes a guide column 13, a movable plate 14, a connecting shaft 15, a main bevel gear 16, a slave bevel gear 17 and a propeller 18. Two parallel guide columns 13 are arranged in the cover 2, and a parallel connecting shaft 15 is arranged between the two parallel guide columns 13. The connecting shaft 15 is provided with two and coaxial lines, and the two guide columns 13 and the connecting shaft 15 have the same height in the horizontal direction. The two ends of the guide column 13 are fixedly connected to the cover 2, and two movable plates 14 are slidably arranged on the guide column 13. Each movable plate 14 is rotatably connected with a connecting shaft 15, and a bearing is arranged between the movable plate 14 and the connecting shaft 15, so that the movement of the connecting shaft 15 can drive the movable plate 14 to move, and the connecting shaft 15 can rotate relative to the movable plate 14. The outer end of each connecting shaft 15 passes through the cover 2 and is connected to a propeller 18, and the inner end is connected to the main bevel gear 16, and the main bevel gear 16 is meshed and connected with the slave bevel gear 17, and the slave bevel gear 17 is installed on the linkage shaft 10. The two main bevel gears 16 are arranged opposite to each other and are rotatably connected to a slave bevel gear 17. The axial directions of the two main bevel gears 16 and the axial direction of the slave bevel gear 17 are perpendicular to each other. Two block rings 20 are arranged on each guide column 13. Each block ring 20 is arranged on the inner side of the moving plate 14 on the same side. The block rings 20 respectively arranged on the two guide columns 13 on the same side are at equal distances from the side wall of the cover body 2, and are used to limit the moving position of the moving plate 14.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, two groups of movable plates 14 and main bevel gears 16 are provided, and a connecting plate 19 is provided on one side between the two groups of movable plates 14. The two groups of main bevel gears 16 are arranged opposite to each other, and at the same time, the slave bevel gear 17 is only in meshing state with one group of main bevel gears 16, and a block ring 20 is provided on the guide column 13. When the movable plate 14 abuts against the two block rings 20 on the inner side, the corresponding main bevel gear 16 thereon is meshed and connected with the slave bevel gear 17, and when one group of movable plates 14 drives the main bevel gear 16 to approach the linkage shaft 10, the other group of movable plates 14 will be driven to synchronously move away from the linkage shaft 10 through the connecting plate 19.

[0032] The flow of seawater generates thrust throughout the device. At this time, the propeller 18, which is in the opposite direction of the flow of seawater to the monitoring device, is subjected to the thrust of the seawater, so that the propeller 18 drives the movable plate 14 and the connecting shaft 15 to move until the movable plate 14 contacts the block ring 20 away from the rotating propeller 18. At this time, the main bevel gear 16 at the end of the connecting shaft 15 is in meshing state with the slave bevel gear 17 on the linkage shaft 10. At this time, as the seawater continues to flow, the propeller 18 will drive the main bevel gear 16 to rotate through the connecting shaft 15, and then drive the linkage shaft 10 to rotate by meshing with the slave bevel gear 17.

[0033] The above structure enables the propeller 18 away from the flow direction of the seawater to rotate when the entire monitoring device is subjected to the thrust of the seawater, and the propeller 18 drives the corresponding connecting shaft 15 and the moving plate 14 to move forward, and the connecting shaft 15 drives the corresponding main bevel gear 16 to rotate. At the same time, the connecting plate 19 drives another group of moving plates 14 to synchronously move away from the linkage shaft 10, and further drives the connecting shaft 15 and the propeller 18 on the other side away from the linkage shaft 10. As the linkage shaft 10 rotates, the connecting disk 11 at the upper end of the linkage shaft 10 rotates, and then drives the convex shaft 12 to rotate, so that the convex shaft 12 moves in the strip through hole 9, and the strip plate 8 starts to swing, and at the same time drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, and then drives the monitoring assembly on the rotating shaft 3 to rotate.

[0034] In the above process, the propeller 18 is first pushed by the seawater, driving the connecting shaft 15 and the moving plate 14 to slide along the guide column 13 toward the block ring 20, at which time the rotation of the connecting shaft 15 is temporarily suppressed or rotates freely. When the moving plate 14 contacts the block ring, the position is fixed, and at this time the rotation force of the propeller 18 is transmitted to the main bevel gear 16 through the connecting shaft 15, driving the slave bevel gear 17 and the linkage shaft 10, so that the movement and rotation of the connecting shaft 15 are carried out in stages.

[0035] Example 2 like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a submarine cable fault monitoring device proposed by the present invention, based on the above embodiment, this embodiment also records in detail the specific components of the reinforcement mechanism and the connection method thereof with the bottom plate 1.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcement mechanism includes a socket 21, which is provided with four groups, respectively located at the four corners of the bottom of the base plate 1, and two groups of vertically arranged slide plates 22 are arranged inside the socket 21, and the opposite side of the two slide plates 22 is set as the inner side, and the outer side is opposite to the side wall of the socket 21 on the same side, and the top of the slide plate 22 is provided with an oblique section 24, and the two oblique sections 24 are open structures. The four corners of the inner side of the socket 21 are horizontally provided with limit columns 23, and relatively, the upper part of the inner side of the socket 21 is provided with two limit columns 23, and the lower part is provided with two limit columns 23, and the upper two limit columns 23 and the lower two limit columns 23 are all on the same horizontal plane; the two slide plates 22 are slidably connected to the limit columns 23. A spring 25 is sleeved on the limit column 23 between the outer side of the slide plate 22 and the side wall of the socket 21, and each spring 25 is clamped between the slide plate 22 and the outer side wall of the socket 21; a plurality of anchors 26 are provided, which are arranged linearly and vertically and equidistantly between the outer side of the slide plate 22 and the side wall of the socket 21, and the anchors 26 are in a horizontal direction, and the anchors on the same side are arranged between the upper and lower limit columns 23. A driving member is arranged on the outer side of the cover body 2, and is used to drive the slide plate 22 to move to both sides, compress the spring 25, and push the anchor 26 to pass through the two outer side walls of the socket 21. Among them, a plurality of groups of circular holes 31 for the anchors 26 to pass through are provided on the outer side of the socket 21, and the bottom end of the socket 21 and the outer end of the anchor 26 are both arranged in a pointed cone shape.

[0037] As a preferred solution, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving member includes a threaded sleeve 27, a threaded rod 28, a push block 29 and a handle 30. The side of the cover body 2 is connected with the threaded sleeve 27, the threaded sleeve 27 is internally threaded with the threaded rod 28, the top end of which is connected with the handle 30, and the bottom end of which is rotatably provided with a push block 29, and the push block 29 is slidably connected with the socket 21. Among them, the cross-sectional shape of the push block 29 is set to be an isosceles trapezoid, and its two inclined surfaces are respectively matched with the slope surface of the inclined section 24 of the slide plate 22.

[0038] Example 3 This embodiment discloses a monitoring method for the above-mentioned submarine cable fault monitoring device, wherein the socket 21 at the bottom of the bottom plate 1 is inserted into the seabed, thereby fixing it on the seabed near the monitoring cable, and then rotating the handle 30, which drives the threaded rod 28 to rotate relative to the threaded sleeve 27. During the rotation, the threaded rod 28 drives the push block 29 to move downward, so that the bottom end of the push block 29 is inserted between the two oblique sections 24, thereby pushing the two slides 22 to both sides of the block 29 until the slide 22 drives the anchor 26 to pass through the circular hole 31 and insert into the geological layer around the socket 21, thereby improving the stability of the device fixation. When the fixing force needs to be released, by rotating the handle 30 in the opposite direction, the push block 29 rises under the cooperation of the threaded rod 28 and the threaded sleeve 27, and the slide 22 drives the anchor 26 to reset under the action of the spring 25, thereby The lateral limit between the socket 21 and the geological layer is released, making it convenient to pull out the entire device; when the monitor 4 monitors the cable, the flow of seawater generates thrust on the propeller 18, so that the propeller 18 drives the movable plate 14 and the connecting shaft 15 to move until the movable plate 14 contacts the block ring 20. At this time, the main bevel gear 16 at the end of the connecting shaft 15 is in meshing with the slave bevel gear 17 on the linkage shaft 10. At this time, with the continuous flow of seawater, the propeller 18 will drive the main bevel gear 16 to rotate through the connecting shaft 15, and then drive the linkage shaft 10 and the connecting plate 11 to rotate by engaging with the slave bevel gear 17. During the rotation, the convex shaft 12 thereon makes a circular motion, and drives the rotating shaft 3 to swing back and forth at a certain angle through the strip plate 8, thereby expanding the monitoring range of the monitor 4 and improving the overall practicality.
