Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of underwater sightseeing devices, and in particular to a movable underwater sightseeing device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of tourism industry, people are increasingly interested in exploring the underwater world. Traditional underwater sightseeing experiences are mainly achieved through underwater sightseeing in artificial underwater plank roads such as ocean theme parks, or through diving projects.

[0003] Although the underwater plank road can meet the needs of underwater sightseeing, tourists are affected by the structure of the plank road, resulting in a single sightseeing location and limited sightseeing vision. Although diving projects can provide a more flexible and close-up underwater sightseeing experience, tourists are usually required to change into professional diving equipment and equip themselves with underwater oxygen supply systems, which is not only time-consuming but also increases the threshold for tourists to participate.

[0004] According to the above-mentioned related technologies, underwater sightseeing through artificial underwater plank roads has poor flexibility, and the threshold for participation in diving projects is high, so designing an underwater sightseeing device that is both portable and safe and reliable is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to enhance tourists' underwater sightseeing experience and lower the threshold for participation, this application provides a movable underwater sightseeing device.

[0006] The movable underwater sightseeing device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A movable underwater sightseeing device, comprising: A cabin, one end of which is provided with a cabin door, and a sightseeing window is fixedly installed on the cabin; An installation box, the installation box is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cabin; A sinking and floating component, which is installed on the installation box and is used to control the sinking and floating of the cabin; A direction-changing assembly, the direction-changing assembly being mounted on the mounting box and used for controlling the moving direction of the cabin under water; Two counterweight blocks, both of which are mounted on the mounting box; A release assembly, the release assembly being installed between the counterweight block and the installation box, the release assembly being used to discard the counterweight block in an emergency; Oxygen supply equipment is arranged in the cabin, and the oxygen supply equipment supplies oxygen to the interior of the cabin.

[0007] By adopting the above technical scheme, the hatch installed on the cabin provides tourists with a passage to enter and exit the sightseeing device. After the sightseeing device is launched into the water, it sinks into the water through the sinking and floating assembly, and the sinking and floating depth of the cabin is controlled. Tourists can sightsee the waters of different depths through the sightseeing window, and the counterweight block assists the sinking of the cabin. In an emergency, the counterweight block can be quickly discarded by releasing the assembly to make the cabin float quickly to ensure the safety of tourists. During the underwater sightseeing process, the cabin can be flexibly moved underwater through the change of direction assembly to meet the diverse needs of tourists for sightseeing routes. During the underwater sightseeing process, the oxygen supply equipment in the cabin provides breathing conditions for tourists, and the underwater sightseeing device improves the tourists' underwater sightseeing experience, while lowering the threshold for participation in underwater sightseeing.

[0008] Optionally, the sinking and floating assembly includes: A main ballast water tank, wherein the main ballast water tank is fixedly mounted on the mounting box, an air inlet is provided on the top of the main ballast water tank, and a water inlet is provided on the bottom of the main ballast water tank; a first air pump, the first air pump being mounted on the air inlet; A high-pressure gas storage cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting box and is connected to the main ballast water tank through an air inlet; A submersible angle valve, wherein the submersible angle valve is installed on a water inlet.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during the sinking process, the submersible angle valve and the first air pump are opened to allow seawater to enter the main ballast water tank, and the air in the water tank enters the high-pressure gas storage bottle. The weight of the main ballast water tank gradually increases, and the tank body begins to sink; When it is necessary to float, the first air pump is controlled to inject the gas in the high-pressure gas cylinder into the main ballast water tank through the air inlet. As the gas is injected, the seawater in the main ballast water tank is gradually squeezed out, and the tank body begins to float. The gas pressure and water volume in the tank body are flexibly adjusted through the floating and sinking components, thereby effectively controlling the sinking and floating process of the device, allowing the sightseeing device to operate in waters of different depths and achieve precise sinking and floating control.

[0010] Optionally, the sinking and floating assembly further includes: A first support frame, the first support frame is wound around and fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the cabin; Two lifting propellers, the two lifting propellers are respectively installed on both sides of the first support frame, and the rotation axis of the lifting propeller is in the vertical direction; A lifting motor, wherein the number of the lifting motors corresponds to the number of the lifting propellers, the fixed end of the lifting motor is fixedly mounted on the first support frame, and the output end of the lifting motor is fixedly connected to the lifting propeller.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sightseeing device sinks, the buoyancy is first adjusted through the main ballast water tank to make the device begin to sink, and at the same time, the lifting motor is started to drive the lifting propeller to rotate at an appropriate speed and direction to provide additional vertical downward thrust to assist in accelerating the sinking process; conversely, when the sightseeing device floats up, the lifting motor is started to reverse to assist in the buoyancy of the cabin, and the first support frame provides a stable installation position for the lifting propeller, which provides additional vertical thrust for the sightseeing device through the lifting propeller, significantly improving the sinking and floating efficiency.

[0012] Optionally, the direction-changing component includes: A second support frame, the second support frame is wound around and fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the cabin, and the second support frame is located at one end of the cabin; A first steering propeller, wherein there are two first steering propellers, and the two first steering propellers are symmetrically mounted on both sides of the second support frame, and an angle exists between the rotation axis of the first steering propeller and the axis of the cabin; A third support frame, the third support frame is wound around and fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the cabin, and the third support frame is located at an end of the cabin away from the second support frame; A second steering propeller, wherein there are two second steering propellers, and the two second steering propellers are symmetrically mounted on both sides of the third support frame, and an angle exists between the rotation axis of the second steering propeller and the axis of the cabin; Steering motors, there are four steering motors, and the four steering motors are used to drive the first steering propeller and the second steering propeller to operate respectively.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the second support frame and the third support frame are respectively installed at both ends of the cabin, providing a stable installation position for the steering propeller, and the first steering propeller and the second steering propeller are symmetrically installed on the two support frames, respectively. There is an angle between the rotation axis of each steering propeller and the axis of the cabin, which enables the device to generate lateral thrust. When steering is required, the corresponding steering motor is selectively started according to the required steering direction and angle, thereby realizing precise steering of the cabin, improving the flexibility and accuracy of steering, and enabling the sightseeing device to achieve flexible multi-directional rotation in the water.

[0014] Optionally, a drop hole is provided at the bottom of the installation box, the drop hole is adapted to the counterweight block, and two groups of release components are provided, and the release components include: An airbag, the airbag being fixedly mounted in the cabin; A first telescopic rod, wherein a fixed end of the first telescopic rod is fixedly mounted on the mounting box, and a rodless cavity of the first telescopic rod is in communication with the airbag; A fixed block, the fixed block is fixedly mounted on the movable end of the first telescopic rod, the fixed block is symmetrically provided with two mounting grooves, and the fixed block is provided with a clamping groove; Two slide bars, the two slide bars are symmetrically arranged, the two slide bars are slidably installed in two installation grooves respectively, and one end of the slide bar is provided with a guiding inclined surface; Two springs, the two springs are respectively sleeved on the two sliding rods, and the two ends of the springs are respectively fixedly connected to the fixed block and the sliding rod; A connecting block, one end of which is fixedly mounted on the counterweight block, and the other end of which is slidably mounted in a clamping groove, wherein one end of the connecting block close to the fixed block is truncated cone-shaped, the sliding rod abuts against the connecting block, and the sliding direction is along the telescopic direction of the first telescopic rod; A sliding block, the sliding block is in a truncated cone shape, the sliding block is sleeved on the connecting block, and the sliding block is symmetrical with the truncated cone structure at one end of the connecting block; A second telescopic rod, wherein the second telescopic rod is fixedly mounted at the drop hole of the installation box, a movable end of the second telescopic rod abuts against the bottom of the counterweight, and a rod cavity of the second telescopic rod is connected to a rodless cavity of the first telescopic rod through an air pipe; A relief valve is installed on the air pipe.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sightseeing device needs to float quickly in an emergency, the release component will play a role, and the airbag and the first telescopic rod will cooperate to quickly push the connecting block on the fixed block out of the clamping groove, so as to realize the rapid release of the counterweight block, and the second telescopic rod will ensure that the counterweight block is always supported before it is released. When the counterweight block falls off, the movable end of the second telescopic rod will no longer abut the bottom of the counterweight block, and the counterweight block will fall through the drop hole under the action of gravity, so that the overall weight of the sightseeing device is reduced, the cabin can rise quickly, and the safety of the sightseeing device is improved.

[0016] Optionally, a balancing piece is installed on the installation box, and the balancing piece includes: A three-axis gyroscope, wherein the three-axis gyroscope is fixedly installed in the installation box; Two balancing tanks, the two balancing tanks are respectively arranged at two ends of the installation box, an air inlet is opened on the top of the balancing tank, the two balancing tanks are connected with the high-pressure gas storage cylinder through the air inlet, and a water inlet is opened at the bottom of the balancing tank; Two water inlet valves, the two water inlet valves are respectively installed on the water inlets of the two balance tanks; Two second air pumps, and two second air pump doors are respectively installed on the air inlets of the two balance cabins.

[0018] Optionally, a control console is fixedly installed in the cabin, and the control console is used to control the operating status of the sinking and floating component and the changing direction component.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the console enables the operator to conveniently control the sinking and floating components and the changing direction components inside the cabin, thereby achieving precise control of the underwater position and moving direction of the cabin.

[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0031] The embodiment of the present application discloses a movable underwater sightseeing device.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The movable underwater sightseeing device comprises a cabin 1, an installation box 2, a sinking and floating assembly 3, a direction-changing assembly 4, two counterweights 5, a release assembly 6, an oxygen supply device 7 and a balance member 8. A hatch 11 is installed at one end of the cabin 1, the installation box 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cabin 1, the sinking and floating assembly 3 is installed on the installation box 2, and the sinking and floating assembly 3 is used to control the sinking and floating of the cabin 1; the direction-changing assembly 4 is installed on the installation box 2, and the direction-changing assembly 4 is used to control the moving direction of the cabin 1 underwater; the two counterweights 5 are installed on the installation box 2; the release assembly 6 is installed between the counterweight 5 and the installation box 2, and the release assembly 6 is used to discard the counterweight 5 in an emergency; the oxygen supply device 7 is arranged in the cabin 1, and the oxygen supply device 7 supplies oxygen to the inside of the cabin 1; the balance member 8 is installed on the installation box 2, and the balance member 8 is used to keep the cabin 1 balanced underwater.

[0033] When in use, tourists and staff enter the cabin through the cabin door 11. After closing the cabin door 11, the cabin body 1 is raised and lowered in the water through the sinking and floating component 3 to control the diving depth. After diving, the oxygen supply equipment 7 provides sufficient oxygen for the tourists and staff in the cabin body 1, and the direction-changing component 4 is responsible for controlling and changing the direction of movement of the cabin body 1 underwater to ensure that the sightseeing device can move according to the predetermined route. At the same time, the balancing member 8 is used to ensure that the cabin body 1 remains balanced and stable during the movement.

[0034] During sightseeing, if an emergency occurs, the release component 6 responds quickly, releases the connection between the counterweight 5 and the installation box 2, and discards the counterweight 5 to allow the sightseeing device to float quickly under the action of the sinking and floating component 3. In summary, the movable underwater sightseeing device achieves all-round control of the underwater depth, moving direction and balance state through the coordinated work of various components, providing a convenient and safe solution for underwater sightseeing.

[0035] Reference Figure 1The cabin body 1 is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends. A hemispherical shell-shaped sightseeing window 12 is fixedly installed at one end of the cabin body 1. The sightseeing window 12 is made of transparent material. A cabin door 11 is provided at the other end of the cabin body 1. When the cabin door 11 is closed, a sealed space is formed in the cabin body 1. The cabin body 1 and the cabin door 11 can be sealed with sealing strips and other sealing members. This embodiment does not make specific limitations. The installation box 2 is a rectangular box-shaped structure. A drop hole 21 is opened at the bottom of the installation box 2. The drop hole 21 is adapted to the size of the counterweight 5.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sinking and floating assembly 3 includes a main ballast water tank 31, a first air pump 32, a high-pressure gas storage bottle 33, a submersible angle valve 34, a first support frame 35, a lifting propeller 36 and a lifting motor 37. The main ballast water tank 31 is a rectangular box-shaped structure with a cavity inside. The main ballast water tank 31 is fixedly installed inside the installation box 2. An air inlet is opened on the top of the main ballast water tank 31, and a water inlet is opened at the bottom of the main ballast water tank 31.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first air pump 32 is installed on the air inlet, the high-pressure gas storage bottle 33 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the installation box 2, the high-pressure gas storage bottle 33 is connected with the main ballast water tank 31 through the air inlet, and the submersible angle valve 34 is installed on the water inlet.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 The first support frame 35 is annular in structure and has fixed rods symmetrically extending on both sides. The first support frame 35 is arranged around and fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the cabin 1. The two lifting propellers 36 are rotatably mounted on the fixed rods on both sides of the first support frame 35. The rotation axis of the lifting propeller 36 is in the vertical direction. The number of lifting motors 37 corresponds to that of the lifting propellers 36. The fixed end of the lifting motor 37 is fixedly mounted on the first support frame 35, and the output end of the lifting motor 37 is fixedly connected to the lifting propeller 36.

[0039] During use, when diving is required, the first air pump 32 extracts the gas in the main ballast water tank 31, and at the same time the submersible angle valve 34 opens, and external water enters the main ballast water tank 31 from the water inlet. As water enters, the weight of the main ballast water tank 31 increases, causing the sightseeing device to sink, and the sinking speed and depth are controlled by adjusting the opening of the water inlet.

[0040] When it is necessary to float, start the first air pump 32 and inject the gas in the high-pressure gas cylinder 33 into the main ballast water tank 31 through the air inlet. As the gas is injected, the water in the main ballast water tank 31 is gradually discharged, and the gas pressure in the main ballast water tank 31 increases, causing the sightseeing device to float. The speed and height of the floating can be controlled by adjusting the working state of the first air pump 32.

[0041] When the sightseeing device dives or floats, the lifting motor 37 drives the lifting propeller 36 to rotate. By adjusting the speed and direction of the lifting motor 37, the thrust of the lifting propeller 36 can be controlled, thereby assisting the diving or floating action of the sightseeing device and accelerating the lifting speed of the device.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 The direction-changing assembly 4 includes a second support frame 41, a first steering propeller 42, a third support frame 43, a second steering propeller 44, and a steering motor 45. The second support frame 41 is annular in structure and has fixed rods symmetrically extending from both sides. The second support frame 41 is wound around and fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the cabin 1. The second support frame 41 is located at one end of the cabin 1. There are two first steering propellers 42. The two first steering propellers 42 are symmetrically mounted on the fixed rods on both sides of the second support frame 41. The rotation axis of the first steering propeller 42 and the axis of the cabin 1 have an angle.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 The third support frame 43 is annular in structure and fixed rods are symmetrically extended on both sides. The third support frame 43 is wound around and fixedly installed on the outer surface of the cabin 1. The third support frame 43 is located at one end of the cabin 1 away from the second support frame 41. There are two second steering propellers 44, and the two second steering propellers 44 are symmetrically installed on the fixed rods on both sides of the third support frame 43. There is an angle between the rotation axis of the second steering propeller 44 and the axis of the cabin 1. There are four steering motors 45, and the four steering motors 45 are respectively used to drive the first steering propeller 42 and the second steering propeller 44 to operate.

[0044] When sightseeing underwater, the corresponding steering motor 45 is selectively activated according to the planned sightseeing route. Since the rotation axes of the first steering propeller 42 and the second steering propeller 44 are at an angle to the axis of the cabin 1, their rotation will generate lateral thrust, causing the underwater sightseeing device to turn. If it is necessary to turn left, the steering motor 45 of the first steering propeller 42 on the right side of the second support frame 41 and the steering motor 45 of the second steering propeller 44 on the right side of the third support frame 43 can be started to rotate counterclockwise. The rotation of the steering motor 45 will drive the corresponding propeller to rotate, generate thrust, and push the underwater sightseeing device to move in the desired direction. By controlling the opening and closing of different steering motors 45, the flexible rotation of the sightseeing device underwater can be achieved.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The release assembly 6 is provided with two groups, and the release assembly 6 includes an airbag 61, a first telescopic rod 62, a fixed block 63, two slide bars 64, two springs 65, a connecting block 66, a sliding block 67, a second telescopic rod 68 and a relief valve 69. The airbag 61 is fixedly installed in the cabin 1, the first telescopic rod 62 is vertically arranged, the fixed end of the first telescopic rod 62 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the installation box 2, and the rodless cavity of the first telescopic rod 62 is connected to the airbag 61.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fixed block 63 is fixedly installed at the movable end of the first telescopic rod 62. Two installation grooves are horizontally and symmetrically opened on the fixed block 63. A clamping groove is vertically opened on the fixed block 63. The installation groove is connected with the clamping groove. The two slide rods 64 are symmetrically arranged. The two slide rods 64 are respectively slidably installed in the two installation grooves, and the sliding direction is along the opening direction of the installation groove. A guide inclined surface is arranged at one end of the slide rod 64.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The two springs 65 are respectively sleeved on the two sliding rods 64, and the two ends of the spring 65 are fixedly connected to the fixed block 63 and the sliding rod 64 respectively. The connecting block 66 is composed of a vertically arranged cylinder and a truncated cone fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder. The cylindrical end of the connecting block 66 is fixedly installed on the counterweight block 5, and the truncated cone end of the connecting block 66 is slidably installed in the clamping groove, and the sliding direction is the vertical direction. The two sliding rods 64 are both in contact with the bottom of the truncated cone of the connecting block 66.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sliding block 67 is in a truncated cone shape, and the sliding block 67 is sleeved on the cylindrical structure of the connecting block 66. The sliding block 67 matches the truncated cone structure at one end of the connecting block 66 and is symmetrically arranged. The second telescopic rod 68 is arranged at the drop hole 21 of the installation box 2. The fixed end of the second telescopic rod 68 is fixedly installed on the installation box 2, and the movable end of the second telescopic rod 68 abuts against the bottom of the counterweight block 5. The rod cavity of the second telescopic rod 68 is connected to the rodless cavity of the first telescopic rod 62 through an air pipe, and the overflow valve 69 is installed on the air pipe.

[0049] During normal underwater sightseeing, the sliding rod 64 abuts against the connecting block 66, so that the counterweight 5 is stably set in the installation box 2. When an emergency occurs during the sightseeing process and it is necessary to quickly float up, the counterweight 5 needs to be released. At this time, the airbag 61 is pressed. Under the action of the overflow valve 69, the gas in the airbag 61 enters the rodless cavity of the first telescopic rod 62, so that the movable end of the first telescopic rod 62 extends. As the first telescopic rod 62 extends, the fixed block 63 is driven to move downward, and the bottom of the counterweight 5 is aligned with the movable end of the second telescopic rod 68. The moving end is in contact, and the counterweight block 5 cannot move downward. At this time, the fixed block 63 continues to move downward, and the connecting block 66 slides upward relative to the fixed block 63. The sliding block 67 contacts the sliding rod 64, and the sliding block 67 gradually moves upward. Due to the guiding inclined surface set on the sliding rod 64, the two sliding rods 64 slide to both sides along the installation groove at the same time under the action of the thrust of the sliding block 67 until the sliding block 67 moves up to above the sliding rod 64. At this time, the fixed block 63 abuts against the counterweight block 5 and cannot continue to move upward, and the first telescopic rod 62 cannot continue to extend.

[0050] At this time, the gas in the airbag 61 can only enter the rod cavity of the second telescopic rod 68 through the air pipe, causing the second telescopic rod 68 to retract, and the supporting effect on the counterweight 5 is released. Under the action of gravity, the counterweight 5 falls out of the installation box 2 from the drop hole 21 and separates from the sightseeing device. The gravity of the sightseeing device itself is reduced, and it can float quickly under the action of the sinking and floating component 3, thereby improving the safety of the sightseeing device.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 The balancing member 8 includes a three-axis gyroscope 81, two balancing chambers 82, two water inlet valves 83, and two second air pumps 84. The three-axis gyroscope 81 is fixedly installed in the installation box 2. The three-axis gyroscope 81 is a prior art and will not be elaborated in detail in the embodiment of the present application. The two balancing chambers 82 are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the installation box 2. An air inlet is provided on the top of the balancing chamber 82. Both balancing chambers 82 are connected to the high-pressure gas storage cylinder 33 through the air inlet. A water inlet is provided at the bottom of the balancing chamber 82. Two water inlet valves 83 are respectively installed on the water inlets of the two balancing chambers 82. Two second air pumps 84 are respectively installed on the air inlets of the two balancing chambers 82.

[0052] During underwater sightseeing, the three-axis gyroscope 81 is started to monitor the operating posture of the cabin 1 in real time. When the cabin 1 tilts, the three-axis gyroscope 81 will detect the change and output a corresponding signal, and take corresponding adjustment measures.

[0053] If the cabin body 1 tilts to the left, it is necessary to open the water inlet valve 83 of the right balance tank 82, and at the same time, the second air pump 84 pumps out the gas in the right balance tank 82 to allow water to enter the right balance tank 82, thereby increasing the gravity on the right side, or fill the left balance tank 82 with gas through the second air pump 84 to discharge the water in the left balance tank 82 and restore the balance of the cabin body 1. If the cabin body 1 tilts to the right, the opposite operation is performed, and the cabin body 1 is always kept in a balanced state through the balance member 8.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 A control console 9 is fixedly installed in the cabin 1. The control console 9 is used to control the operating status of the sinking and floating component 3 and the changing component 4. The operating status of the first air pump 32, the submersible angle valve 34 and the lifting motor 37 can be controlled through the control console 9 inside the cabin 1, thereby controlling the sinking and floating of the sightseeing device. At the same time, the control console 9 controls the operating status of the steering motor 45, the second air pump 84 and the water inlet valve 83, thereby controlling the steering and status of the sightseeing device when it is running underwater, so that the operator can perform real-time control of the sightseeing device inside the cabin 1.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 A pressure ring 10 is wound around and fixedly installed on the cabin 1, which can improve the structural strength and pressure resistance of the cabin 1 and ensure the safety of the cabin 1 in an underwater environment.

[0056] The implementation principle of the movable underwater sightseeing device in the embodiment of the present application is: when conducting underwater sightseeing, tourists enter the cabin 1 through the cabin door 11, close the cabin door 11 to keep the cabin 1 sealed, and supply oxygen to the tourists through the oxygen supply equipment 7.

[0057] The sightseeing device begins to sink. According to the Archimedes principle, water is filled into the main ballast tank 31. At the same time, with the assistance of the lifting propeller 36, the sightseeing device sinks for underwater sightseeing. During the sightseeing, the sightseeing device is moved underwater according to the preset sightseeing route through the change-of-direction component 4. During the movement, the cabin 1 is always in a balanced state through the balance member 8 to ensure the tourists' sightseeing experience. After the sightseeing, the sightseeing device is floated through the sinking and floating component 3 to complete the underwater sightseeing.

[0058] If an emergency occurs during sightseeing, the airbag 61 can be manually squeezed, and the counterweight 5 can be quickly separated from the installation box 2 under the action of the release component 6, so that the sightseeing device can quickly float under the action of the sinking and floating component 3, thereby improving the safety of the sightseeing process. Through this movable underwater sightseeing device, tourists can experience underwater sightseeing and lower the threshold for participation in the sightseeing experience.

[0059] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
