Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass end caps, specifically a glass end cap for a deep-sea pressure tank based on high-strength microcrystalline glass. Background Technology

[0002] As human exploration of the deep sea deepens, deep-sea exploration technology has ushered in a period of rapid development. The ocean covers more than two-thirds of the Earth's surface and is rich in marine resources. With the development and utilization of marine resources, more and more underwater exploration equipment is being put into use. In some special scenarios, the glass end cap of the pressure chamber is designed to be periodically detachable. For example, equipment used for scientific research may need to be periodically removed from the chamber for data reading, maintenance, or replacement. In this case, the end cap will be equipped with special disassembly tools and sealing components. Traditional pressure chamber glass end caps are relatively troublesome to install and disassemble, and are not convenient for quick disassembly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a deep-sea pressure tank glass end cap based on high-strength microcrystalline glass, which has advantages such as easy installation and disassembly of the device and convenient disassembly, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned goal of facilitating easy installation and disassembly of the device, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a deep-sea pressure-resistant tank glass end cap based on high-strength microcrystalline glass, comprising a shell, a fixing member disposed on the shell, an mounting member rotatably disposed on the fixing member, a fixing structure disposed on the fixing member, the fixing structure including a groove disposed on the fixing member, a rotating rod disposed in the groove, a movable plate rotatably disposed on the rotating rod, a connecting member disposed on the mounting member, a movable rod disposed on the connecting member, and one end of the movable rod extending at least into the groove, the movable rod at least partially abutting against the groove, one end of the movable rod being connected to a locking rod, and one end of the locking rod extending to the groove. A small portion of the fastener engages within the mounting component. The fastener has a slot, and a hinge portion is slidably disposed within the slot. One end of the hinge portion is hinged to a first hinge rod, and the other end to a second hinge rod. Both the first and second hinge rods are equipped with latches. The housing has a slot, and the latches are engagingly disposed within the slot. By moving the movable rod on the mounting component into the slot via the connector, the mounting component and the fastener initially maintain a relatively fixed angle. Then, rotating the mounting component causes the movable rod to abut against a movable plate on the rotating rod. At this point, the movable plate moves the latch, causing it to sequentially pass through the first hole on the fastener and the second hole on the mounting component, thus engaging. Within the mounting component, a mechanical fixation is formed, effectively constraining the relative rotational freedom of both components. Simultaneously, the latches at the ends of the first and second hinge rods slide along the housing's limiting frame, precisely engaging their corresponding slots to achieve a dual locking mechanism. This significantly improves the overall structure's torsional resistance. At this point, the first spring within the groove is in its naturally extended state, providing a stable restoring elastic force for the moving plate. The second spring at the slot acts as an elastic connector, with its two ends acting on the first and second hinge rods respectively, maintaining the relative positional accuracy of the first and second hinge rods. Simultaneously, a sealing ring is embedded in the sealing groove between the housing and the fixing component. This sealing ring is highly elastic and forms a reliable watertight barrier through an interference fit, ensuring... For long-term sealing performance under high-pressure deep-sea environments, when it is necessary to disassemble the glass end cap of the deep-sea pressure tank, the mounting component needs to be rotated first. This causes the mounting component to rotate around the rotating rod in the groove under external force. The first spring is reset, and the rotating plate separates from the moving rod as it rotates, allowing them to move together. This, in turn, drives the locking rod to be pulled out from the second and first holes, releasing the fixation. The mounting component can then rotate around the fixing component. When the mounting component rotates, the connecting component drives the moving rod to move. This displacement is transmitted to the hinge part in the slot, causing it to slide. The sliding of the hinge part drives the first and second hinge rods to rotate, the second spring is reset, and the buckle slides within the limit frame and disengages from the slot. Through its simple structure, the device is easy to install and disassemble, and disassembly is convenient.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing member has a first hole, the mounting member has a second hole, and the locking rod passes through the first hole and the second hole in sequence to engage the locking rod within the mounting member.

[0008] Furthermore, a first spring is provided in the groove, and the first spring is connected to the movable plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting frame is provided on the housing, and the buckle is slidably disposed within the limiting frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a second spring is provided on the slot, with one end of the second spring connected to the first hinge rod and the other end connected to the second hinge rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a sealing groove is provided between the housing and the fixing member, and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting component is provided with mounting holes.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a deep-sea pressure tank glass end cap based on high-strength microcrystalline glass, which has the following beneficial effects: By moving the movable rod on the mounting component into the groove through the connector, the mounting component and the fixing component maintain a relatively fixed angle in the initial state. Then, the mounting component is rotated, so that the mounting component drives the movable rod to abut against the movable plate on the rotating rod. At this time, the movable plate drives the locking rod to move, so that the locking rod sequentially passes through the first hole on the fixing component and the second hole on the mounting component, and is locked inside the mounting component to form a mechanical fixation, effectively restricting the relative rotational freedom of the two. At the same time, after the buckles at the ends of the first and second hinge rods slide along the shell limiting frame, they are precisely locked into the corresponding slots to realize a double locking mechanism, which significantly improves the torsional resistance of the overall structure. At this time, the first spring inside the groove is in a naturally extended state, providing a stable restoring elastic force for the movable plate. The second spring at the slot acts as an elastic connector, with its two ends acting on the first hinge. The first and second hinge rods maintain the relative positional accuracy of the first and second hinge rods. Simultaneously, a sealing ring is embedded in the sealing groove between the housing and the fixing component. This sealing ring is highly elastic and forms a reliable watertight barrier through an interference fit, ensuring long-term sealing performance under high-pressure deep-sea conditions. When the glass end cap of the deep-sea pressure tank needs to be disassembled, the mounting component must first be rotated. This causes the mounting component to rotate around the rotating rod in the groove under external force. The first spring is reset, and the rotating plate separates from the moving rod as it rotates, moving together and causing the locking rod to be pulled out from the second and first holes, releasing the fixing. The mounting component can then rotate around the fixing component. When the mounting component rotates, the connecting component causes the moving rod to shift, and this shift is transmitted to the hinge part in the slot, causing it to slide. The sliding of the hinge part causes the first and second hinge rods to rotate, the second spring is reset, and the latch slides within the limit frame and disengages from the slot. This simple structure makes the device easy to install and disassemble, and disassembly is convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] A preferred embodiment of the deep-sea pressure tank glass end cap based on high-strength microcrystalline glass provided by the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 6As shown: A deep-sea pressure tank glass end cap based on high-strength microcrystalline glass includes a shell 1, a fixing member 2 on the shell 1, an mounting member 7 rotatably mounted on the fixing member 2, a fixing structure 3 on the fixing member 2, the fixing structure 3 including a groove 301 on the fixing member 2, a rotating rod 304 disposed in the groove 301, a movable plate 305 rotatably mounted on the rotating rod 304, a connecting member 303 on the mounting member 7, a moving rod 302 disposed on the connecting member 303, and one end of the moving rod 302 extending at least into the groove 301, at least partially abutting against the groove 301, and one end of the moving rod 302 engaging with the locking rod 306. The connection is such that at least one end of the latch 306 is engaged in the mounting member 7. The fixing member 2 has a slot 309, within which a hinge portion is slidably disposed. One end of the hinge portion is hinged to a first hinge rod 311, and the other end to a second hinge rod 312. Both the first hinge rod 311 and the second hinge rod 312 are provided with buckles 313. The housing 1 has a slot 314, within which the buckles 313 are engaged. When using the device, firstly, the moving rod 302 on the mounting member 7 is moved into the groove 301 via the connecting member 303. In the initial state, the mounting member 7 and the fixing member 2 maintain a relatively fixed angle. Then, the mounting member 7 is rotated so that the mounting member 7... The moving rod 302 abuts against the moving plate 305 on the rotating rod 304. At this time, the moving plate 305 drives the locking rod 306 to move, so that the locking rod 306 sequentially passes through the first hole 307 on the fixing member 2 and the second hole 308 on the mounting member 7, and is locked inside the mounting member 7 to form a mechanical fixation, effectively restricting the relative rotational freedom of the two. At the same time, the buckles 313 at the ends of the first hinge rod 311 and the second hinge rod 312 slide along the limiting frame 315 of the housing 1 and then accurately lock into the corresponding slots 314, realizing a double locking mechanism and significantly improving the torsional performance of the overall structure. At this time, the first spring 310 built into the groove 301 is in a naturally extended state, providing a stable restoring elastic force for the moving plate 305. The second spring 316 at position 9 acts as an elastic connector, with its two ends acting on the first hinge rod 311 and the second hinge rod 312 respectively, maintaining the relative positional accuracy of the first hinge rod 311 and the second hinge rod 312. Simultaneously, a sealing ring 5 is embedded in the sealing groove 4 between the housing 1 and the fixing member 2. This sealing ring 5 is a highly elastic sealing ring, forming a reliable watertight barrier through an interference fit, ensuring long-term sealing performance under deep-sea high-pressure environments. When it is necessary to disassemble the glass end cap of the deep-sea pressure tank, the mounting member 7 must first be rotated, causing the mounting member 7 to rotate around the rotating rod 304 in the groove 301 under external force acting on the moving plate 305. The first spring 310 is reset, and the moving plate 305 separates from the moving rod 302 when rotating, allowing them to move together.This causes the locking rod 306 to be pulled out from the second hole 308 and the first hole 307, releasing the fixation. The mounting part 7 can then rotate around the fixing part 2. When the mounting part 7 rotates, the connecting part 303 causes the moving rod 302 to shift. This shift is transmitted to the hinge part in the slot 309, causing it to slide. The sliding of the hinge part causes the first hinge rod 311 and the second hinge rod 312 to rotate, the second spring 316 is reset, and the buckle 313 slides within the limiting frame 315 and disengages from the slot 314. This simple structure makes the device easy to install and disassemble, and disassembly is convenient.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixing member 2 is provided with a first hole 307, and the mounting member 7 is provided with a second hole 308. The locking rod 306 passes through the first hole 307 and the second hole 308 in sequence to engage the locking rod 306 in the mounting member 7. Here, the first hole 307 and the second hole 308 provide clear guidance and positioning reference for the locking rod 306. When the locking rod 306 passes through the first hole 307 and the second hole 308, it can automatically calibrate the relative position of the fixing member 2 and the mounting member 7 to ensure the assembly error of the two.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first spring 310 is provided in the groove 301. The first spring 310 is connected to the movable plate 305. When the movable plate 305 is displaced due to external force, the first spring 310 will be compressed along with the movement of the movable plate 305, storing elastic potential energy. When the external force disappears, the elastic restoring force of the first spring 310 can drive the movable plate 305 to automatically return to the initial position, thereby improving ease of use.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting frame 315 is provided on the housing 1, and the buckle 313 is slidably disposed within the limiting frame 315. Here, the limiting frame 315 provides a clear sliding guide for the buckle 313, limiting it to move only in a preset direction of the frame, avoiding the buckle 313 from tilting due to force offset error, and ensuring the stability and consistency of the sliding action.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second spring 316 is provided on the slot 309. One end of the second spring 316 is connected to the first hinge rod 311, and the other end is connected to the second hinge rod 312. This is to facilitate the reset of the first hinge rod 311 and the second hinge rod 312 by the elastic force of the second spring 316 when the moving plate 305 is separated from the hinge part.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sealing groove 4 is provided between the housing 1 and the fixing member 2, and a sealing ring 5 is provided in the sealing groove 4. The sealing groove 4 can provide precise installation positioning for the sealing ring 5, prevent the sealing ring 5 from shifting or falling off due to assembly pressure, and ensure that the sealing ring 5 is always between the mating surfaces of the two components to form a stable sealing contact.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mounting component 7 is provided with mounting holes 6. The mounting holes 6 are interfaces for connecting the mounting component 7 with other components. Fasteners such as bolts can pass through the holes to firmly fix the mounting component 7 in the target position, preventing it from shifting or loosening in stress, vibration or impact environments, and ensuring the stability of the overall structure.

[0031] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
