DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] The utility model aims to provide an all-weather automatic cleaning device for salt lake operation sensor equipment to solve the problems existing in the prior art, complete the cleaning process of the depth sounder, avoid the problem of condensation of salt layer on the depth sounder (especially the bottom of the depth sounder) and affecting the normal emission of sound waves, ensure the normal operation of the depth sounder, and extend the service life of the depth sounder.

[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] like Figure 1 to Figure 3As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic cleaning device for all-weather salt lake operation sensor equipment, including a fixed bracket, a first telescopic mechanism, a second telescopic mechanism and a water tank 4. The fixed bracket and the water tank 4 can be fixed on a ship or other device. The fixed bracket may include a vertical pole fixed on the ship and a cantilever 2 located above the water surface, the first hinged end on the first telescopic mechanism is hinged to the end of the cantilever 2, the second hinged end is hinged to one end of the second telescopic mechanism, and the other end of the second telescopic mechanism is located on the inner side of the first hinged end and is hinged to the bottom of the cantilever 2; the cantilever 2 has a rotation area for the first telescopic mechanism to rotate around the first hinged end; the telescopic end at the bottom of the first telescopic mechanism is fixed with a depth sounder 5 for measuring the water depth. The water tank 4 is preferably made of anti-corrosion material, filled with clean water, and a submersible pump 8 is arranged in the water, which solves the problem of flushing water source. In order to further increase the clean water reserve and reduce the number of clean water transportation times, two 150L large-capacity water tanks 4 are selected in this embodiment, the bottoms of the two water tanks 4 are connected, and the submersible pump 8 is arranged inside one of the water tanks 4. The submersible pump 8 has excellent waterproof performance and can be installed inside the water tank 4; at the same time, after the submersible pump 8 is installed inside the water tank 4, other complex performance requirements such as installation, salt protection, and corrosion protection of the submersible pump 8 are also solved at the same time. The drainage pipe 6 of the submersible pump 8 extends from the top of the water tank 4 to the outside of the water tank 4. The end of the drainage pipe 6 is connected to a nozzle 7, which is fixed on the ship or on the vertical pole, located below the cantilever 2 and inside the rotation area, and the spray direction of the nozzle 7 is obliquely upward. This embodiment uses an adjustable pressurized mist nozzle 7, which can efficiently and quickly clean the depth sounder 5.

[0025] Under normal circumstances, the telescopic end of the first telescopic mechanism is extended, so that the depth sounder 5 is located in the salt pond, and the depth sounder 5 monitors the water depth. Figure 1 When the depth sounder 5 needs to be cleaned, the first telescopic mechanism is shortened to lift the depth sounder 5 above the water surface, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown; then the second telescopic mechanism is shortened, driving the first telescopic mechanism to rotate inward around the first hinged end until the bottom end of the depth sounder 5 is directed toward the nozzle 7 (the telescopic lengths of the first telescopic mechanism and the second telescopic mechanism can be set or adjusted, and the position of the nozzle 7 is set in advance), and finally the submersible pump 8 is turned on, and the nozzle 7 is used to flush the depth sounder 5, especially to clean the salt layer at the bottom of the depth sounder 5, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 After the cleaning is completed, the second telescopic mechanism is extended to make the extension direction of the first telescopic mechanism as vertical as possible, and then the first telescopic mechanism is extended to put the depth sounder 5 under the water surface to work, and a cleaning process is completed.

[0026] Therefore, this embodiment can put the depth sounder 5 into the water or take the depth sounder 5 out of the water by setting the first telescopic mechanism and the second telescopic mechanism, and drive the depth sounder 5 to rotate, so that the depth sounder 5 is directly facing the nozzle 7 connected to the water tank 4, and the nozzle 7 is used to complete the cleaning process of the depth sounder 5, thereby avoiding the problem of condensation of salt layer on the depth sounder 5 (especially the bottom of the depth sounder 5) and affecting the normal emission of sound waves, ensuring the normal operation of the depth sounder 5 and extending the service life of the depth sounder 5. At the same time, the entire cleaning process has a high degree of automation, which can greatly reduce the difficulty and workload of cleaning the depth sounder 5 by the staff.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first telescopic mechanism includes a mounting frame 9 and a first telescopic part 10 mounted on the mounting frame 9, the mounting frame 9 is hinged to the end of the cantilever 2 of the fixed bracket through a first hinged end, and is hinged to one end of the second telescopic mechanism through a second hinged end; the telescopic end of the first telescopic part 10 is fixed to the depth sounder 5. Further, in this embodiment, the second telescopic mechanism includes a second telescopic part 11, and both the first telescopic part 10 and the second telescopic part 11 are electric push rods. Of course, in addition to the electric push rod, other telescopic mechanisms can also be selected, such as hydraulic push rods.

[0028] In order to realize automatic control of the equipment, the present embodiment also includes a remote control module, which is a control module with a wireless signal transmission function; a wireless signal receiving module is provided at the top of the mounting frame 9, and a glass fiber reinforced plastic antenna cover 12 is provided outside the wireless signal receiving module for protection. The wireless signal receiving module is electrically connected to the first telescopic part 10 and the second telescopic part 11. The staff can issue an operation instruction through the remote control module to control the first telescopic part 10 and the second telescopic part 11 to telescope. Of course, the working process of the submersible pump 8 can also be controlled by the remote control module. If the submersible pump 8 does not have the ability to receive wireless signals, the submersible pump 8 can be directly electrically connected to the remote control module using a wire. In addition, in addition to manual operation by the staff, the time interval for cleaning the depth sounder 5 can also be set in advance in the control program of the remote control module. When the cleaning time is reached, the remote control module issues a cleaning instruction to control the first telescopic part 10, the second telescopic part 11 and the submersible pump 8 to operate, thereby realizing an automatic cleaning process. The remote control module, the wireless signal receiving module, and the connection method and control program between the two and each component are well known to those skilled in the art, and are not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0029] In order to protect the depth sounder 5, a protective cage 13 is fixed to the bottom end of the first telescopic part 10 in this embodiment, and the depth sounder 5 is fixed inside the protective cage 13, but the bottom end of the depth sounder 5 is exposed from the protective cage 13. The sound wave signal emitted by the depth sounder 5 will not be blocked by the protective cage 13, and it is also convenient for the nozzle 7 to clean its lower surface.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the fixed bracket, the fixed bracket in this embodiment further includes an oblique brace 3, and two ends of the oblique brace 3 are respectively fixed to the column 1 and the cantilever 2.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the water inlet of the submersible pump 8 is connected to a three-way solenoid valve 14, the first end of the three-way solenoid valve 14 is connected to the inside of the water tank 4, the second end is connected to the water inlet of the submersible pump 8, and the third end is connected to the atmosphere. In order to prevent debris from entering the submersible pump 8, a first filter 15 is also provided at the first end of the three-way solenoid valve 14, and a second filter 16 is provided at the third end. The remote control module can control the opening and closing state of the three-way solenoid valve 14. When it is necessary to spray water to clean the depth sounder 5, the first end and the second end are connected, and the third end is closed; after the cleaning is completed, the first end is closed, and the second end and the third end are connected, so that the water inlet of the submersible pump 8 is connected to the atmosphere, and all the water in the drain pipe 6 is discharged, so as to avoid the situation where water in the drain pipe 6 is stored and the water freezes and bursts the drain pipe 6 in a low temperature environment.

[0032] Furthermore, in order to prevent the clean water in the water tank 4 from freezing, an electric heater is also provided at the bottom of the water tank 4 in this embodiment. The remote signal control module is also connected to a temperature sensor for monitoring the ambient temperature. When the temperature sensor detects that the ambient temperature is lower than 0°, the remote signal control module controls the electric heater to start and heat the clean water to a suitable temperature.

[0033] It is well known to those skilled in the art that antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, which is mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. Antifreeze has excellent properties such as antifreeze in winter, anti-boiling in summer, anti-scaling and anti-corrosion all year round. When the present embodiment is used, antifreeze is added to the clean water in the water tank 4, which can effectively protect the submersible pump 8, the water tank 4, the nozzle 7 and other equipment, and ensure the effectiveness of the automatic cleaning module in a low temperature environment.

[0034] In order to prevent the water tank 4 from sliding or capsizing when the hull shakes violently in windy and seay weather, the present embodiment further includes a water tank bracket, which can be welded from steel bars or square steels, and whose shape matches the shape of the water tank 4. The water tank bracket is fixed to the hull and has a cavity for placing the water tank 4.

[0035] Adaptive changes made according to actual needs are all within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0036] It should be noted that it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
