DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention with reference to the description.

[0033] It should be understood that the terms such as “having”, “including” and “comprising” used herein do not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the utility model provides an underwater flippable imaging device, comprising: an imaging part 1, a counterweight part 2 arranged on one side of the imaging part 1, a supporting part 3 for supporting the imaging part 1, and a driving part 4 for driving the imaging part 1 to move; the imaging part 1 is provided with a first connecting member 11 movably connected to the supporting part 3, the driving part 4 is provided with a second connecting member 41, and the driving part 4 is connected to the imaging part 1 via the second connecting member 41.

[0035] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution: the present invention adds a counterweight part 2 on one side of the imaging part 1, so that when the imaging part 1 is flipped, the driving part 4 can ensure that the imaging part 1 can be flipped more easily, and the center of gravity is on the flip axis or near the flip axis when flipping. The imaging part 1 is axially connected to the support part 3 through the first connecting member 11, so that it can be flipped relative to the support part 3. When the present invention is in a non-working state, the imaging part 1 and the counterweight part 2 are horizontal and submerged below the water surface, thereby realizing the hiding of the imaging part 1, such as Figure 4-6 When the present invention is in working state, the driving part 4 drives the imaging part 1 to flip through the second connecting member 41, so that the imaging part 1 leaves the water surface. Under the action of the counterweight part 2, the imaging part 1 can be easily flipped and maintained in an upright state. Figure 1-3 In addition, the imaging unit 1 can use a porous metal plate as a projection medium. Compared with water as a projection medium, the imaging effect of the porous metal plate is clearer. The porous metal plate is lighter than the frame of the welding water spray mentioned in the background technology, and does not require a water pump, thereby reducing the cost of equipment use.

[0036] In this embodiment, the support portion 3 is composed of a main support 31 axially connected to the first connecting member 11 of the imaging portion 1, and a secondary support 32; the imaging portion 1 can be as follows: Figure 1 The semicircular porous metal plate shown can also be any other shape of commercially available products or existing technologies that can perform imaging. The main support 31 is mainly used to provide support for the flipping of the imaging unit 1 .

[0037] The main support 31 is provided with an axis connection seat 33, and the first connection member 11 is movably connected to the axis connection seat 33 through a transmission member. The driving unit 4 is composed of a motor 42 and a reducer 43 provided on the motor 42, and one end of the second connection member 41 is connected to the reducer 43, and the other end is connected to the imaging unit 1. The motor 42 drives the reducer 43 to rotate the second connection member 41, and the second connection member 41 will rotate with the output shaft of the reducer 43 as the rotation axis, thereby driving the imaging unit 1 to flip relative to the main support 31 with the transmission member as the rotation axis. The output shaft of the reducer 43 and the transmission member need to be located on the same central axis to ensure that the imaging unit 1 can flip smoothly.

[0038] In this embodiment, the driving unit 4 needs to be placed in water to achieve the overall concealment of the present invention and the flipping of the imaging unit 1, so the protection level of the motor 42 and the reducer 43 needs to reach IP68.

[0039] The imaging part 1 and the counterweight part 2 form a rigid whole, and the center of gravity of the rigid whole is located on the rotation center line of the transmission part. The driving part 4 is arranged on the main support 31. The counterweight part 2 is composed of a frame 21 connected to the imaging part 1, and a counterweight block 22 arranged in the frame 21. In this embodiment, the center of the rigid whole is placed on the rotation center line of the imaging part 1 (that is, the rotation axis of the output shaft of the transmission part or the reducer 43), so the counterweight part 2 needs to be balanced by adjusting the number and position of the counterweight blocks 22 to ensure that the center of the rigid whole is located on the rotation center line of the imaging part 1, thereby reducing the energy consumption when flipping the imaging part 1 and maintaining the imaging part 1 horizontally (or upright).

[0040] When the imaging unit 1 is switched to the working state, the driving unit 4 drives the second connecting member 41 to rotate with the output shaft of the reducer 43 as the rotation axis, thereby driving the imaging unit 1 to flip, and the auxiliary support 32 is separated from the imaging unit 1 until the imaging unit 1 moves to a specified position (usually an upright state);

[0041] When the imaging unit 1 is switched to a non-working state, the driving unit 4 drives the second connecting member 41 to rotate with the output shaft of the reducer 43 as the rotation axis, thereby driving the imaging unit 1 to flip until the auxiliary support 32 abuts against the imaging unit 1 (at this time, the imaging unit 1 is below the water level, such as Figure 5 , 6 shown).

[0042] In the previous embodiment, we provided a fully hidden implementation method, that is, when the present invention is not in use, the entire invention can be completely hidden below the horizontal plane. On the one hand, the amount of water stored in the pool can be reduced (because the entire invention is immersed in the pool, its volume will cause the volume of the pool to decrease, thereby reducing the amount of water stored), saving water; on the other hand, it will not affect the surrounding environment, and there will be no abrupt feeling mentioned in the background technology. In contrast, because the full underwater hiding is adopted, the driving part 4 of the present invention needs to have a sufficiently good sealing performance, which also leads to relatively high equipment costs and maintenance costs. For this reason, we propose a second implementation method. Under the premise of not changing the hiding effect of the imaging part 1, the driving part 4 is optimized and adjusted, and it is taken out of the water and placed outside the water surface. In this embodiment, the imaging part 1 and the counterweight part 2 form a rigid whole, and the center of gravity of the rigid whole is located between the rotation center line of the transmission member and the counterweight part 2. As a result, in the absence of a driving unit 4, the rigid body can tend to a vertical state, that is, in the absence of external interference, the first embodiment can maintain balance at all angles, while this embodiment will eventually keep the imaging unit 1 in an upright state. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is only necessary to consider how to keep the imaging unit 1 submerged below the water level when it is not in operation. The second connecting member 41 is a flexible pulling member 5, one end of which is connected to the driving unit 4, and the other end is connected to the imaging unit 1 by passing through a pulley assembly and a secondary support 32 with a pulley in sequence, such as Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the flexible pulling member 5 can be a steel cable, and the pulley assembly can be a fixed pulley to change the direction of the steel cable. At the same time, a fixed pulley is set on the secondary support 32, so that the steel cable passes through the fixed pulley on the secondary support 32 and is connected to the imaging unit 1. The driving unit 4 can also use a combination of a motor 42 and a reducer 43. The difference is that in the first embodiment, the imaging unit 1 is directly flipped by providing torque by the reducer 43, while in this embodiment, the flexible pulling member 5 is retracted and released by the reducer 43, thereby changing the working state of the imaging unit 1. Because the flexible pulling member 5 is used in this embodiment, the driving unit 4 can be placed outside the water level line, and there is no restriction on the installation distance. When the present invention is in a non-working state, a commercially available device such as a cable jack can be used to fix the steel cable, and then the driving unit 4 is closed.

[0043] In order to prevent the flexible pulling member 5 from being suddenly disconnected from the imaging unit 1, which causes the imaging unit 1 to stand up quickly and affect the surrounding personnel and equipment, the transmission member as the rotating shaft also needs to be further optimized. The transmission member is composed of a rotating shaft 6 connected to the shaft connection seat 33 at both ends, a damping core 7 sleeved on the rotating shaft 6, and a damping sleeve 8 arranged on the first connecting member 11. The damping sleeve 8 is sleeved on the outside of the damping core 7. The two ends of the rotating shaft 6 pass through the damping sleeve 8 and are connected to the shaft connection seat 33. The rotating shaft 6 and the damping sleeve 6 are movably connected. When the first connecting member 11 rotates, it will drive the damping sleeve 8 to rotate. The damping sleeve 8 will rotate relative to the rotating shaft 6. At the same time, the damping core 7 inside the damping sleeve 8 can provide resistance to reduce the rotation speed of the damping sleeve 8 relative to the rotating shaft 6, thereby preventing the imaging unit 1 from standing up quickly. The damping core 7 is provided with at least three spiral damping sheets 71, one end of the damping sheet 71 is connected to the damping core 7, and the other end thereof is spirally radially extended to the outside of the damping core 7, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 , 11 As shown, there is a gap between each damping sheet 71, and the end of the damping sheet 71 is movably connected to the inner wall of the damping sleeve 8. When the present invention is switched to the working state, the damping sleeve 8 rotates toward the opening between the two damping sheets 71 to Fig.11 For example, when the invention is switched to the working state, the damping sleeve 8 rotates clockwise and rotates slowly under the action of the elastic damping sheet 71. Because the damping sleeve 8 rotates slowly, the deformation of the damping sheet 71 will not be very large. Once the flexible pulling member 5 is separated from the imaging part 1, the imaging part 1 will quickly become a vertical state. At this time, the rapidly rotating damping sleeve 8 will cause the damping sheet 71 to quickly produce a large deformation, thereby causing the damping sheet 71 to deform, stack, and fill the gap between the damping sleeves 8, thereby stopping the imaging part 1 from flipping.

[0044] When the present invention is switched to the non-working state, the damping sleeve 8 will rotate along the opening direction between the two damping sheets 71 to Fig.11 For example, when the present invention is switched to a non-working state, the damping sleeve 8 rotates counterclockwise. At this time, no matter how fast the damping sleeve 8 rotates, the damping sheet 71 will not affect it, thereby realizing the rapid recovery and hiding of the present invention.

[0045] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0046] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or communication with each other; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0047] Although the implementation scheme of the utility model has been disclosed as above, it is not limited to the applications listed in the specification and implementation modes. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the utility model. For those familiar with the art, additional modifications can be easily implemented. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents, the utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
