Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of marine oil engineering technology, and in particular relates to a quick-disassembly bracket for wave meter measurement on marine vessels. Background Technology
[0002] The marine environment is complex, and construction vessels need to collect and analyze environmental data to assess whether the operation is suitable. Among these, the observation of wave data is particularly important. Shipborne wave meters are key equipment in fields such as marine surveys, waterway monitoring, and the construction of offshore engineering facilities. Their supports must maintain instrument stability under complex conditions such as ship vibration, limited deck space, and salt spray corrosion.
[0003] Currently, traditional wave gauge stabilization supports are connected to ships in two main ways: one is by welding rigid supports that are directly fixed to the deck, and the other is by using electromagnets to attach them to the ship's side to form a magnetic temporary support.
[0004] Among these issues, welded designs are difficult to disassemble and cannot be freely adjusted in height, resulting in an overlap between their natural frequency and the vibration frequency of the ship's engine. Furthermore, wave measuring brackets are generally placed outside the ship's side, and welding them in place does not meet the relevant requirements for ship inspection management and port entry. Magnetic brackets, on the other hand, are difficult to operate stably under ship movement, posing a risk of falling and incurring higher manufacturing costs.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a quick-disassembly bracket for wave meter measurements on ships at sea to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-disassembly bracket for wave meter measurement on marine vessels, which has the advantages of simple installation and disassembly operations and solves the problem of the inability to freely adjust the height during disassembly in the prior art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the quick-disassembly bracket for marine wave meter measurement of the present invention is as follows: A quick-release bracket for measuring wave instruments on marine vessels includes a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, and a third connecting plate. The second and third connecting plates are spaced apart and connected to the first connecting plate. Wave instruments are respectively connected to the first, second, and third connecting plates. The first connecting plate is connected to an extension rod via a connecting support. The end of the extension rod away from the first connecting plate is hinged to a quick-release connection structure to adjust the pitch angle of the wave instrument. The quick-release connection structure is set on a railing so that the wave instrument can be detachably mounted on the railing.
[0008] Furthermore, the first connecting plate, the second connecting plate, and the third connecting plate are respectively provided with screw holes, and wave instruments are connected to the screw holes. The centers of the three screw holes are distributed on the vertices of an equilateral triangle.
[0009] Furthermore, a connecting support is connected to the side of the first connecting plate away from the second and third connecting plates, so that the first connecting plate can be connected to the extension rod through the connecting support.
[0010] Furthermore, the extension rod is provided with a recessed connecting groove, into which a connecting support is inserted. The connecting support and the recessed connecting groove are provided with matching openings, into which fixing bolts are inserted to fix the connecting support to the recessed connecting groove.
[0011] Furthermore, a semi-cylinder is connected to the extension rod at a point away from the concave connecting groove. The semi-cylinder is hinged to the quick-release connecting structure to adjust the pitch angle of the wave meter.
[0012] Furthermore, the quick-release connection structure includes a first semicircular plate and a second semicircular plate, which are connected by a hinge to allow relative rotation between them.
[0013] Furthermore, a fixing seat is provided on the first connecting plate, and a limiting rod is provided on the second connecting plate accordingly. The limiting rod is inserted into the fixing seat so that the first semicircular plate and the second semicircular plate are fixed on the railing.
[0014] Furthermore, the second semicircular plate is provided with bases at intervals, and the bases are symmetrically provided with connection ports. The semicircular body is inserted into the connection port through a rotating rod so that the extension rod is rotatably connected to the base.
[0015] Furthermore, a boss is vertically connected to the second semicircular plate, and an extension rod is abutted against the boss to limit the extension rod.
[0016] Furthermore, the boss is located below the base.
[0017] The quick-release bracket for marine wave meter measurement of the present invention has the following advantages: (1) The present invention redesigns the quick-release connection structure, which is directly fixed to the railing, saving deck space and allowing the instrument height to be freely adjusted. The quick-release connection structure does not require fixing bolts during installation and disassembly, thus improving its loading and unloading speed and flexibility.
[0018] (2) The present invention, through the movable design of the connection between the extended rod and the quick-release connection structure, allows the wave instrument to be retracted to the side of the ship for maintenance or repair without disassembling the quick-release connection structure when it needs to be disassembled or stopped, thereby improving the efficiency of deployment and recovery; when adjusted to the recovery position, installation and disassembly do not require the body to be extended outside the ship, ensuring the safety of personnel during deployment and disassembly.
[0019] (3) The present invention, through its segmented design, allows for the disassembly, replacement or addition of each segment according to actual needs or the wear of each component, thereby improving the flexibility of practical application; at the same time, the length of the extension rod can be changed, reducing the additional design and manufacturing costs caused by transplantation to other ships.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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, 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] Those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not others, combinations of features from different embodiments are intended to be within the scope of the invention and form different embodiments. For example, in the claims, any of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.
[0024] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 The present invention describes a quick-release bracket for measuring wave gauges on marine vessels.
[0025] like Figure 1As shown, the quick-release bracket for measuring wave instruments on marine vessels in this invention includes a first connecting plate 1, a second connecting plate 2, and a third connecting plate 3. The second connecting plate 2 and the third connecting plate 3 are connected to the first connecting plate 1 at intervals. Wave instruments are respectively connected to the first connecting plate 1, the second connecting plate 2, and the third connecting plate 3. The first connecting plate 1 is connected to an extension rod 5 through a connecting support 4. The end of the extension rod 5 away from the first connecting plate 1 is hinged to a quick-release connecting structure 6 to adjust the pitch angle of the wave instrument. The quick-release connecting structure 6 is set on a railing so that the wave instrument can be detachably set on the railing.
[0026] The movable design at the connection between the extension rod 5 and the quick-release connection structure 6 allows the wave instrument to be retracted to the side of the ship for maintenance or repair without disassembling the quick-release connection structure when it needs to be disassembled or stopped, improving the efficiency of deployment and recovery. When adjusted to the recovery position, installation and disassembly do not require leaning out of the ship, ensuring the safety of personnel during deployment and disassembly.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first connecting plate 1, the second connecting plate 2, and the third connecting plate 3 are respectively provided with screw holes, and wave instruments are connected to the screw holes. The centers of the three screw holes are distributed on the vertices of an equilateral triangle to ensure that the wave instrument operates in the best data acquisition posture.
[0028] Preferably, the second connecting plate 2 and the third connecting plate 3 are both at a 10-degree angle to the first connecting plate 1, and a reinforcing rib is vertically connected below the first connecting plate 1 to ensure the supporting capacity of the first connecting plate 1.
[0029] Meanwhile, a connecting support is connected to the side of the first connecting plate 1 away from the second connecting plate 2 and the third connecting plate 3, so that the first connecting plate 1 is connected to the extension rod 5 through the connecting support 4.
[0030] Furthermore, a recessed connecting groove 7 is provided on the extension rod 5, and a connecting support 4 is inserted into the recessed connecting groove 7. The connecting support 4 and the recessed connecting groove 7 have matching openings, and fixing bolts are inserted into the openings so that the connecting support 4 is fixedly connected to the recessed connecting groove 7, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the wave instrument and the extension rod 5.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a semi-cylinder 9 is connected to the extension rod 6 at a point away from the concave connecting groove 8. The semi-cylinder 9 is hinged to the quick-release connecting structure 6 to adjust the pitch angle of the wave meter, that is, to rotate in the pitch direction around the center line of the hole.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the quick-release connection structure 6 includes a first semicircular plate 61 and a second semicircular plate 62, which are connected by a hinge 13 to allow relative rotation between the first semicircular plate 61 and the second semicircular plate 62.
[0033] The first connecting plate 1 is provided with a fixing seat 9, and the second connecting plate 2 is provided with a corresponding limiting rod 10. The limiting rod 10 is inserted into the fixing seat 9 so that the first semicircular plate 61 and the second semicircular plate 62 are fixed on the railing.
[0034] In other embodiments, the first semicircular plate 61 and the second semicircular plate 62 can also be fixed together by clamps.
[0035] The second semicircular plate 62 is provided with a base 11 at intervals. The base 11 is provided with symmetrical connection ports. The semi-cylinder 8 is inserted into the connection port through a rotating rod so that the extension rod 5 is rotatably connected to the base 11. The second semicircular plate 62 is vertically connected with a boss 12, and the extension rod 5 is abutted on the boss 12 to limit the extension rod 5.
[0036] Preferably, the boss 12 is located below the base 11, and the base 11 is connected to the boss 12 below, so that when the extension rod 5 abuts against the boss 12, the extension rod 5 is in the horizontal direction.
[0037] The working principle of the quick-release bracket for marine wave meter measurement in this invention is as follows: First, fix the first semicircular plate 61 and the second semicircular plate 62 to the railing, and insert the limiting rod 10 into the fixing seat 9; Then, the semi-cylinder 8 of the extension rod 5 is hinged to the base 11; Then, insert the connecting support 4 into the recessed connecting groove 7, and insert the fixing bolt to fix the connecting support 4 and the recessed connecting groove 7; Then, insert the three wave instruments into the screw holes of the first connecting plate 1, the second connecting plate 2, and the third connecting plate 3 respectively. Align the small screw holes with the drilled holes on the wave instruments, screw in the screws to complete the installation of the wave instruments, and install the communication cable. Finally, connect the wave meter to the power supply, and complete the installation after debugging.
[0038] Based on the quick-disassembly bracket for wave meter measurement on ships at sea, this invention, through its segmented design, allows for the disassembly, replacement, or addition of sections according to actual needs or the wear condition of individual components, thus improving the flexibility of practical applications. At the same time, the length of the extension rod 5 can be changed, reducing the additional design and manufacturing costs caused by transplantation to other ships.
[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
