Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of marine equipment technology, and specifically relates to a marine laboratory platform and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Shipboard laboratories are an important component of research vessels. Water, soil, and other samples taken from the ocean undergo changes in external environmental factors such as water pressure, temperature, and salinity after being retrieved from the seabed. These changes cause variations in the properties of the samples over time, resulting in discrepancies with the original data. To ensure data accuracy, it is essential to conduct relevant scientific research and analysis on the samples as quickly as possible to obtain analytical conclusions. These conclusions also allow for timely optimization or adjustment of technical solutions for subsequent scientific research, improving the efficiency of scientific investigations and yielding richer results.

[0003] The laboratory bench is a fundamental component of a laboratory. It is characterized by its corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and high pressure resistance, and can withstand most chemical reagents. Various types of experimental equipment are arranged on the bench, varying in size, shape, weight, and appearance. Furthermore, different experimental equipment is used for each voyage depending on the mission. On a ship, the external forces such as wind, waves, and currents are significant, making the secure fixation of laboratory equipment a crucial challenge. Proper equipment fixation is fundamental to successful experiments. All equipment must be firmly secured, with flexible and convenient assembly and disassembly methods. Simultaneously, it should not damage the bench surface or internal panel system, effectively resist the impact of strong winds and waves, and be cost-effective with a relatively aesthetically pleasing fixation method.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a marine laboratory platform and its usage method to solve the problems of poor fixation capability, insufficient flexibility and messy pipeline expansion of existing laboratory platform equipment, and to safely, flexibly and quickly fix laboratory equipment of various sizes, has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0006] In one embodiment of the present invention, a marine laboratory table is provided, including a tabletop 1, an extended functional column 2, a longitudinal fixing profile 3, a transverse fixing profile 4, and an L-shaped fastener 6;

[0007] Extended functional column 2 is fixedly installed on the front edge of the experimental table surface 1. Its column body is provided with channels for water medium, electrical medium and gas medium that are isolated from each other.

[0008] The longitudinal fixing profile 3 includes an upper longitudinal profile 31 and a lower longitudinal profile 32. The upper longitudinal profile 31 is located below the extended functional column 2, and the lower longitudinal profile 32 is located below the experimental table surface 1. The two are fixed to the main structure of the experimental table through connectors, and a first sliding groove 301 along the length direction of the experimental table is provided on it.

[0009] The transverse fixing profile 4 has two sections arranged along the width of the experimental table. Both ends of the profile are slidably connected to the first groove 301 of the longitudinal fixing profile 3 by butterfly bolts 7. The transverse fixing profile 4 has a second groove 401.

[0010] The horizontal edge of the L-shaped fastener 6 is slidably disposed in the second groove 401 of the transverse fixing profile 4 and locked by fasteners, while its vertical edge is used to limit the experimental equipment from the side.

[0011] Furthermore, the column of the extended functional column 2 is formed by a front panel, a rear panel and two side panels. The interior is divided into multiple independent pipeline cavities by at least two vertical partitions 201, which are used to lay clean seawater pipes, pure water pipes, power cables, network cables, compressed air pipes and inert gas pipes, respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the extended functional column 2 is provided with an openable sealing cover 202, and the sealing cover 202 is provided with multiple modular interface panels 203, each interface panel 203 integrating at least one function quick connector.

[0013] Furthermore, the groove sections of the longitudinal fixing profile 3 and the transverse fixing profile 4 are T-grooves or dovetail grooves, and the threaded part of the butterfly bolt 7 is fitted with a T-nut or dovetail slider that matches the T-grooves or dovetail grooves.

[0014] Furthermore, an oblong adjustment hole 601 is provided on the vertical side of the L-shaped fastener 6. The fastener passes through the adjustment hole 601 and cooperates with the nut in the second slide groove 401 on the transverse fixing profile 4 to realize the stepless adjustment and locking of the L-shaped fastener 6 in the height direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the lower longitudinal profile 32, located below the experimental tabletop 1, is covered with a non-slip and wear-resistant elastic material layer, forming a storm handrail that also serves as a support for personnel.

[0016] Furthermore, the experimental tabletop 1 is made of solid chemical board or epoxy resin board, and its edge is provided with a water-blocking flange 101.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a marine laboratory platform according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0025] In the diagram, 1 is the experimental tabletop, 2 is the extended functional column, 3 is the longitudinal fixing profile, 4 is the transverse fixing profile, and 6 is the L-shaped fastener. Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a marine laboratory platform according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] Figure 1 A marine laboratory table includes a tabletop 1, an extended functional column 2, a longitudinal fixing profile 3, a transverse fixing profile 4, and an L-shaped fastener 6.

[0029] Extended functional column 2 is fixedly installed on the front edge of the experimental table surface 1. Its column body is provided with channels for water medium, electrical medium and gas medium that are isolated from each other.

[0030] The longitudinal fixing profile 3 includes an upper longitudinal profile 31 and a lower longitudinal profile 32. The upper longitudinal profile 31 is located below the extended functional column 2, and the lower longitudinal profile 32 is located below the experimental table surface 1. The two are fixed to the main structure of the experimental table through connectors, and a first sliding groove 301 along the length direction of the experimental table is provided on it.

[0031] The transverse fixing profile 4 has two sections arranged along the width of the experimental table. Both ends of the profile are slidably connected to the first groove 301 of the longitudinal fixing profile 3 by butterfly bolts 7. The transverse fixing profile 4 has a second groove 401.

[0032] The horizontal edge of the L-shaped fastener 6 is slidably disposed in the second groove 401 of the transverse fixing profile 4 and locked by fasteners, while its vertical edge is used to limit the experimental equipment from the side.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, a marine laboratory platform creatively integrates the two major functions of "centralized pipeline expansion" and "multi-dimensional equipment fixation" through a combined architecture of "extension functional columns + longitudinal / lateral sliding profiles + L-shaped fasteners". This integrated design solves the pain point of the separation between fixation and expansion in traditional solutions, and achieves efficient layout within the limited space of a ship.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the column of the extended functional column 2 is formed by a front panel, a rear panel and two side panels, and the interior is divided by at least two vertical partitions 201 to form multiple independent pipeline cavities, which are respectively used to lay clean seawater pipes, pure water pipes, power cables, network cables, compressed air pipes and inert gas pipes.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, internal vertical partitions form isolated cavities, fundamentally avoiding mutual interference between pipelines carrying different media such as water, electricity, and gas. This greatly improves safety and the orderliness of pipeline management, eliminating the risks of short circuits and corrosion caused by traditional haphazardly laid pipelines.

[0036] In another embodiment of the present invention, the top of the extended functional column 2 is provided with an openable sealing cover 202. Multiple modular interface panels 203 are provided on the sealing cover 202, and each interface panel 203 integrates at least one functional quick-connect plug. The design of the modular interface panels and quick-connect plugs makes pipeline connections "plug and play," greatly simplifying experimental preparation and improving efficiency. The sealing cover design maintains the cleanliness and aesthetics of the work surface and provides a certain degree of dust and water resistance.

[0037] In another embodiment of the present invention, the sliding groove sections of the longitudinal fixing profile 3 and the transverse fixing profile 4 are T-slots or dovetail grooves, and the threaded portion of the butterfly bolt 7 is fitted with a T-nut or dovetail slider that mates with the T-slot or dovetail groove. The combination of the T-slot or dovetail groove and the matching nut / slider provides a high-strength, protrusion-free sliding connection. Compared with the ordinary method of directly tightening bolts, this structure provides a more stable connection, greater load-bearing capacity, smoother sliding, and will not loosen due to ship vibration, significantly enhancing the reliability of the fixation.

[0038] In another embodiment of the present invention, an elongated oval adjustment hole 601 is provided on the vertical side of the L-shaped fastener 6. A fastener passes through the adjustment hole 601 and engages with a nut in the second groove 401 on the transverse fixing profile 4, thereby achieving stepless adjustment and locking of the L-shaped fastener 6 in the height direction. The elongated oval adjustment hole enables stepless height adjustment of the L-shaped fastener, allowing it to fit snugly against the sides of equipment of different heights. This design solves the problem of poor adaptability of the fixing device to equipment height, and combined with transverse width adjustment, achieves flexible, wrap-around fixing of the equipment in three-dimensional space.

[0039] In another embodiment of the present invention, the lower longitudinal profile 32 disposed below the test bench surface 1 is covered with a non-slip and wear-resistant elastic material layer, forming a storm handrail that can also be used for personnel support.

[0040] In another embodiment of the present invention, the experimental tabletop 1 is made of solid chemical board or epoxy resin board, and its edge is provided with a water-blocking flange 101.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, a marine laboratory table has a main structure of a tabletop 1, which is preferably made of corrosion-resistant solid physicochemical board and has a water-blocking flange 101 on its edge.

[0042] An extension functional column 2 is bolted to the front edge of the work surface 1. The interior of this functional column is divided into three independent cavities by two vertical partitions 201, for the installation of water pipes, cables, and gas lines, respectively. The top of the functional column is fitted with an openable sealing cover 202, on which three modular interface panels 203 are installed, integrating a power socket, network interface, quick-connect water connector, quick-connect pure water connector, and quick-connect gas connector, respectively. Below the extension functional column 2 and below the work surface 1, upper longitudinal profile 31 and lower longitudinal profile 32 are installed, respectively, and both are fixed to the work surface frame by angle iron. The longitudinal fixing profile 3 is a T-slot profile formed by extrusion of aluminum alloy. Two transverse fixing profiles 4 are also T-slot profiles, with their ends connected to the longitudinal profiles 3 by butterfly bolts 7. The bolts 7 have T-nuts that can be inserted into the T-slots. Loosening the butterfly bolts 7 allows the transverse profiles 4 to slide along the length of the work surface; tightening them locks them in place. Multiple L-shaped fasteners 6 have their horizontal edges embedded in the T-slots of the transverse profile 4, allowing them to slide along the width of the experimental platform. An oblong adjustment hole 601 is formed on its vertical edge, through which a hexagonal socket head cap screw passes and engages with a nut within the T-slot of the transverse profile 4. Loosening the bolt allows the L-shaped fastener 6 to move up and down; tightening it secures its vertical edge firmly against the side of the experimental equipment 8. The outer surface of the lower longitudinal profile 32 is covered with a rubber anti-slip layer, serving as a storm grab handle.

[0043] In another embodiment of the present invention, a method for using a marine laboratory table is provided. Based on any of the above-mentioned marine laboratory tables, the method comprises:

[0044] S101. According to the wiring requirements of experimental equipment 8, lead out the pipeline from the corresponding interface of the expansion function column 2 and connect it.

[0045] S102. Loosen the butterfly bolt 7, slide the two transverse fixing profiles 4 along the longitudinal fixing profile 3, adjust them to a position that matches the width of the equipment, and then tighten them.

[0046] S103. Place the experimental equipment 8 on the platform between the two transverse fixed profiles 4;

[0047] S104, the sliding L-shaped fastener 6 is made to have its vertical edge tightly attached to the side of the experimental equipment 8, and is locked by fasteners to achieve joint limitation of the equipment in the width and height directions.

[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, compared with other traditional experimental benches, the experimental bench can easily expand various pipelines, effectively fix laboratory equipment of different sizes, and is easy to use. The experimental bench is designed with expansion function columns to facilitate the addition of temporary pipeline interfaces. The method occupies little space and does not affect experimental operations. The experimental bench is easy to adjust the fixed size and fixed spacing, has strong adaptability, and can be expanded to facilitate the fixing of experimental equipment of different sizes. The fixed profile under the tabletop can also be used as a storm handrail, which can be used as a grab when the ship tilts in large waves to keep personnel standing, without affecting the experimental bench surface area. Compared with the shortcomings of traditional experimental benches such as single function and poor expansion performance, this method has the advantages of simple design, easy manufacturing, strong versatility, and is particularly suitable for fixing various marine laboratory bench surface equipment. At the same time, it is also convenient to carry out temporary additions of water, electricity and gas, all of which are arranged inside the experimental bench without having to pass through the internal panel. The construction is simple, convenient, stable and reliable.

[0049] This invention provides a marine laboratory bench and its usage method. An extended functional column is fixedly installed at the front edge of the bench surface. The column contains isolated channels for water, electricity, and gas. A longitudinal fixing profile includes an upper longitudinal profile and a lower longitudinal profile. The upper profile is located below the extended functional column, and the lower profile is located below the bench surface. Both are fixed to the main structure of the bench via connectors and have a first sliding groove along the length of the bench. Two transverse fixing profiles are provided and arranged along the width of the bench. Their ends are slidably connected to the first sliding groove of the longitudinal fixing profiles via butterfly bolts. The transverse fixing profiles have a second sliding groove. The horizontal edge of an L-shaped fastener is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove of the transverse fixing profile and locked by fasteners. Its vertical edge is used to laterally limit the experimental equipment. This invention solves the problems of poor fixing capacity, insufficient flexibility, and chaotic pipeline expansion in existing laboratory benches, enabling safe, flexible, and rapid fixing of experimental equipment of various sizes.

[0050] The above are preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
