[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transducers for survey ships, and particularly to a detachable cover type transducer water tank. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most scientific oceanographic comprehensive survey ships are equipped with Doppler current profilers, that is, transducers. The transducers are installed in a fresh water tank, and the fresh water tank is installed at the bottom of the ship. For equipment maintenance, the ship needs to be dry-docked (i.e., the whole ship is transferred from the water to the shore). At the same time, the components of the transducer equipment that need to be maintained are at the top of the equipment. Therefore, after the ship is dry-docked, when maintaining the transducer equipment, it is necessary to disassemble the sound-transmitting plate at the bottom of the water tank and disassemble the whole equipment to complete the equipment maintenance work.

[0003] After the ship is dry-docked, there may be a situation where the space under the ship's bottom is insufficient from the ground, making it difficult to carry out equipment maintenance work. To facilitate the later maintenance of the transducer equipment, a detachable cover is considered to be designed on the top of the water tank. Summary of the Invention

[0039] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. in the present invention is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0041] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms such as "installed", "provided with", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0042] As Figure 1 shown, a detachable cover type transducer 2 water tank of a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0043] A box body 1, an accommodating space 120 for accommodating fresh water is provided inside the box body 1. A first opening 110 is provided at the top of the box body, and a second opening is provided at the bottom. The first opening 110 and the second opening communicate with the accommodating space 120;

[0044] A transducer 2, the transducer 2 is arranged in the accommodating space 120;

[0045] An acoustic absorption member 3, the acoustic absorption member 3 is arranged in the accommodating space 120 and attached to the inner wall of the box body 1;

[0046] A sound transmission plate 4, the sound transmission plate 4 is arranged at the second opening and is detachably connected to the box body 1 for opening and closing the second opening. The acoustic absorption member 3 and the sound transmission plate 4 can jointly enclose the accommodating space 120; and

[0047] A cover plate 5, the cover plate 5 is arranged at the first opening 110, and the cover plate 5 is detachably connected to the box body 1 for opening and closing the first opening 110. An acoustic absorption member 3 is attached to the side of the cover plate 5 facing the accommodating space 120.

[0048] Based on the above solution, by setting a detachable cover plate 5 at the top opening 110 of the box body 1 and a sound-transmitting plate 4 detachably connected to the bottom of the box body 1, when it is necessary to maintain or replace the transducer 2, it is possible to flexibly choose to operate from the top or the bottom. Especially when the space at the bottom after the ship is docked is limited, the cover plate 5 at the top can be directly opened for maintenance, greatly improving the convenience and operability of maintenance and avoiding the complexity of having to disassemble the equipment as a whole in the traditional solution. The sound-absorbing member 3 provided inside can reduce the reflection and interference of sound waves by the inner wall of the box body 1, improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement by the transducer 2. The sound-transmitting plate 4, as the medium for sound wave transmission, its detachable design also facilitates cleaning or replacement when necessary to maintain good acoustic performance.

[0049] Furthermore, the detachable cover type transducer 2 water tank further includes a first fastener 6 and a first seal 7. The sound-transmitting plate 4 is detachably connected to the box body 1 through the first fastener 6, and the first seal 7 is pressed between the sound-transmitting plate 4 and the box body 1.

[0050] Based on the above solution, by introducing the first fastener 6 to achieve the detachable connection between the sound-transmitting plate 4 and the box body 1, maintenance personnel can conveniently and quickly disassemble and reinstall the sound-transmitting plate 4 for cleaning, inspection or replacement. This not only reduces the maintenance difficulty, but also reduces the downtime caused by problems with the sound-transmitting plate 4, and can effectively extend the overall service life of the water tank, reducing the long-term operation and maintenance costs. The first seal 7 is pressed between the sound-transmitting plate 4 and the box body 1, which can provide a reliable physical barrier, effectively preventing fresh water inside the box body 1 from leaking to the outside and impurities such as external seawater from entering the inside of the box body 1. This reliable sealing is crucial for ensuring the normal and stable operation of the transducer 2, avoiding problems such as water quality changes and electrical component corrosion caused by leakage, thereby improving the reliability and measurement accuracy of the equipment.

[0051] Furthermore, the number of the first fasteners 6 is multiple, and the number of the first seals 7 corresponds to the number of the first seals 7 one by one. The multiple first fasteners 6 are spaced apart and arranged at the edge of the sound-transmitting plate 4, and each first seal 7 is pressed between the corresponding first fastener 6 and the box body 1.

[0052] Based on the above solution, by setting multiple first fasteners 6 spaced apart at the edge of the sound-transmitting plate 4, a more uniform pressing force can be provided, enabling the corresponding multiple first seals 7 to be more evenly pressed between the sound-transmitting plate 4 and the box body's 1. This way of multi-point uniform force application, compared with the possible local uneven pressing caused by a small number of fasteners, can significantly improve the overall sealing performance at the connection between the sound-transmitting plate 4 and the box body 1, effectively reducing the risk of fresh water leakage or seawater intrusion, and ensuring the stability of the internal environment of the water tank and the normal operation of the transducer 2.

[0053] Furthermore, the water tank of the detachable cover transducer 2 also includes a second fastener 8 and a second seal 9. The cover 5 is detachably connected to the box body 1 through the second fastener 8, and the second seal 9 is pressed between the cover 5 and the box body 1.

[0054] Based on the above solution, the cover plate 5 is detachably connected to the top of the box body 1 by the second fastener 8, and the second seal 9 is pressed between the cover plate 5 and the box body 1 to ensure the sealing performance of the top of the box body 1. This is crucial for maintaining the purity of the fresh water in the box body 1 and preventing fresh water leakage. It can also effectively prevent external dust or other pollutants from entering the interior of the box body 1, thereby protecting the transducer 2 from damage and ensuring its long-term stable working performance and measurement accuracy. The second fastener 8 is used to connect the cover plate 5, so that when the transducer 2 needs to be maintained, inspected or replaced, the top cover plate 5 can be opened quickly and conveniently. After maintenance is completed, the cover plate 5 can also be quickly reinstalled and tightened to restore the sealing state of the water tank. This convenient operability significantly improves maintenance efficiency and shortens equipment downtime.

[0055] Furthermore, there are multiple second fasteners 8, and the number of second seals 9 corresponds one to one. Multiple second fasteners 8 are arranged at intervals on the edge of the cover plate 5, and each second seal 9 is pressed between the corresponding cover plate 5 and the box body 1.

[0056] Based on the above solution, the use of multiple second fasteners 8 spaced apart along the edge of the cover plate 5 provides a more balanced pressing force, allowing the corresponding multiple second seals 9 to be evenly pressed between the cover plate 5 and the housing 1. This uniform force distribution avoids localized excessive or insufficient pressure, thereby achieving a more reliable top seal, significantly reducing the risk of freshwater leakage from the housing 1 and the ingress of external contaminants, and providing a solid guarantee for the stable operation of the transducer 2.

[0057] Furthermore, the water tank of the removable cover transducer 2 also includes a mounting assembly 10 , which is connected to the box body 1 and accommodated inside the accommodating space 120 . The transducer 2 is connected to the box body 1 by being connected to the mounting assembly 10 .

[0058] Based on the above solution, directly rigidly connecting transducer 2 and enclosure 1 may cause vibrations from hull 100 to be directly transmitted to transducer 2, generating additional noise and affecting measurement accuracy. Mounting assembly 10 effectively isolates and attenuates vibrations from hull 100, reducing noise interference transmitted to transducer 2 and improving the purity and reliability of measurement data.

[0059] Further, the mounting assembly 10 includes a first mounting member 101 and a second mounting member 102. The first mounting member 101 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 1, and the second mounting member 102 is detachably connected to the first mounting member 101 by a bolt member. The transducer 2 is connected to the second mounting member 102.

[0060] Based on the above solution, the second mounting member 102 is detachably connected to the first mounting member 101 fixed on the box body 1 by a bolt member, making the disassembly and replacement of the transducer 2 very convenient. Just loosen the bolt, and the transducer 2 can be quickly removed for maintenance, upgrade or replacement without changing other structures of the box body 1, significantly shortening the maintenance time and improving the operation efficiency.

[0061] Further, an installation opening 51 is formed on the cover plate 5, and the installation opening 51 can communicate the accommodation space 120 with the interior of the hull 100;

[0062] The detachable cover type transducer 2 water tank further includes an installation pipe 11. The installation pipe 11 is connected to the cover plate 5, and the installation pipe 11 can communicate with the accommodation space 120 through the installation opening 51;

[0063] The detachable cover type transducer 2 water tank further includes a cable sealing device. The cable sealing device is connected to the inside of the installation pipe 11. The cable sealing device and the installation pipe 11 are in interference fit, and the cable sealing device is used to seal the cable connected to the transducer 2.

[0064] Based on the above solution, through the design of the cable sealing device and the installation pipe 11, the cable of the transducer 2 can be conveniently connected or disconnected without opening the entire cover plate 5. This is especially beneficial for the daily inspection, maintenance of the equipment or when replacing the transducer 2, which can reduce the operation steps and improve the maintenance efficiency. The interference fit between the cable sealing device and the installation pipe 11 can provide a stable mechanical connection and a reliable sealing effect. The interference fit elastic deformation generates a pressing force to ensure that the cable sealing device will not loosen or shift during long-term use and maintain its sealing performance.

[0065] Further, the detachable cover type transducer 2 water tank further includes a strengthening assembly 12. The strengthening assembly 12 is fixedly connected to the box body 1 and is wound around the outer periphery of the opening 110.

[0066] Based on the above solution, opening the opening 110 at the top of the box body 1 will weaken the structural strength of this area. Especially when the water pressure is borne inside the water tank, stress concentration is likely to occur at the edge of the opening 110, leading to the risk of deformation or even cracking. By arranging the strengthening assembly 12 on the outer periphery of the opening 110, the structural strength of this weak area can be effectively enhanced, the stress brought by the water pressure can be dispersed, the overall pressure-bearing capacity of the top of the box body 1 and the ability to resist deformation can be improved, and the long-term stable operation of the water tank can be ensured.

[0067] Furthermore, the reinforcing component 12 includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs 121 which are connected to each other in sequence, and each of the reinforcing ribs 121 is fixedly connected to the box body 1.

[0068] Based on the above solution, the structure of the plurality of reinforcing ribs 121 is easier to manufacture and assemble than the integral reinforcing member. The processing of a single reinforcing rib 121 is relatively simple, and it can be conveniently fixed to the box body 1 by welding or other connection means, reducing the manufacturing difficulty and cost.

[0069] The working process of the present invention is as follows: The detachable cover type transducer 2 water tank is installed on the hull 100, the bottom sound transmission plate 4 is in contact with seawater, and the inside is filled with fresh water. When the equipment needs to be maintained, generally the ship is hauled out of the water, part of the fresh water can be drained from the bottom, and the detachable cover plate 5 on the top of the box body 1 can be opened to maintain the equipment from above. Since the main parts of the detachable cover type transducer 2 water tank that need to be maintained are located at the top, the detachable cover plate 5 is provided at the top of the water tank, so there is no need to disassemble the equipment additionally, ensuring that when the space at the bottom is insufficient after the ship is hauled out of the water and the equipment cannot be disassembled, the transducer 2 can also be maintained.

[0070] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a detachable cover type transducer 2 water tank. By providing a detachable cover plate 5 at the top opening 110 of the box body 1 and a sound transmission plate 4 detachably connected to the bottom of the box body 1, when it is necessary to maintain or replace the transducer 2, it is possible to flexibly select to operate from the top or the bottom. Especially when the space at the bottom is limited after the ship is hauled out of the water, the cover plate 5 at the top can be directly opened for maintenance, greatly improving the convenience and operability of maintenance and avoiding the complexity of having to disassemble the equipment as a whole in the traditional solution. The sound absorption member 3 provided inside can reduce the reflection and interference of the sound wave on the inner wall of the box body 1, improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement of the transducer 2. The sound transmission plate 4, as the medium for sound wave transmission, its detachable design also facilitates cleaning or replacement when necessary to maintain good acoustic performance.

[0071] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and replacements can be made, and these improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
