Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water measurement, in particular to an ADCP ship-used portable bracket. Background Art

[0002] ADCP refers to an acoustic Doppler current profiler, which uses the acoustic Doppler principle to measure the frequency shift information of the scattered signal of the stratified water medium, and uses the vector synthesis method to obtain the water velocity of the vertical profile of the ocean current, that is, an instrument for measuring the flow velocity of the water body. ADCP is generally installed in four ways: 1. Install a mounting frame extending into the water on the dam, and then set the ADCP on the mounting frame and extend it into the water; 2. Install the ADCP directly on the bottom of the water and fix it with a fixed bracket; 3. Install the ADCP device on a buoy and float it on the water surface through the buoy; 4. Tie the ADCP directly to the ship.

[0003] When ADCP is used for sampling on the water surface, the third and fourth installation methods mentioned above are usually adopted, that is, installing it on a buoy or directly tying the ADCP to a boat. Since the boat can move flexibly on the water, tying the ADCP directly to the boat can facilitate the ADCP to measure at different positions in the water body. However, tying the ADCP directly to the boat is very inconvenient because there is no special installation structure for ADCP on the general ship, which makes the installation of ADCP very inconvenient and inconvenient for the measurement work of ADCP itself. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem solved by the utility model is to provide a portable ADCP marine bracket, which can be effectively installed on the ship, so as to fix the ADCP and facilitate the measurement work of the ADCP.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an ADCP marine portable bracket, comprising a vertically arranged fixed plate, a vertically arranged rotating plate and a horizontally arranged connecting rod; a U-shaped hanging ring for mounting on a handrail of a hull is fixed on one side wall of the fixed plate, and one end of the connecting rod is fixed on the other side wall of the fixed plate; one side wall of the rotating plate is used to mount the ADCP, and the other side wall is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod; when the rotating plate rotates circumferentially around the connecting rod, the ADCP is controlled to be immersed in or exposed from the water.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: the fixing plate can be directly fixed on the hull through a U-shaped hanging ring, and the ADCP is installed on the rotating plate. When measurement is required, the rotating plate is rotated to make the ADCP immersed in water. When measurement is not required, the rotating plate is rotated to make the ADCP exposed to the water surface. The present application can be effectively installed on the ship, thereby fixing the ADCP and facilitating the measurement work of the ADCP.

[0007] In a possible implementation manner, the fixed plate and the rotating plate are symmetrically arranged.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution can save installation space on the hull and facilitate the rotation of the rotating plate.

[0009] In a possible implementation manner, a bearing is fixed in the middle of the rotating plate, and the bearing is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution enables the rotating plate to rotate through the bearing and to be fixed with the connecting rod.

[0011] In a possible implementation manner, an extension rod for installing the ADCP is fixed on one side wall of the fixing plate.

[0012] Compared with the existing technology, the above technical solution can make the extension length of ADCP wider and adapt to water bodies of different depths.

[0013] In a possible implementation manner, an annular groove for wrapping a fixed tape of the ADCP is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the extension rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution enables the fixing tape of the ADCP to be tied tightly around the annular slot, and the tape is not easy to slip out, so that the ADCP can be effectively fixed and installed.

[0015] In a possible implementation, there are multiple annular grooves, and each annular groove is evenly distributed along the length direction of the extension rod.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution enables the longer fixing tape of the ADCP to be wrapped around each annular slot and tied tightly, so that the ADCP can be fixed more effectively.

[0017] In a possible embodiment, the fixed plate and the rotating plate are both rectangular structures, and the fixed plate is provided with four first latch holes, which are arranged around the fixed plate with the axis of the connecting rod as the center of the circle; the rotating plate is provided with four second latch holes, which are arranged around the rotating plate with the axis of the connecting rod as the center of the circle; so that the external latch can be inserted into the fixed plate and the rotating plate in turn through the first latch holes and the second latch holes, thereby fixing the rotating plate.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution enables the rotating plate to be fixed by inserting a latch when the rotating plate is rotated to a fixed angle, thereby preventing the rotating plate from continuously rotating and causing the ADCP to be exposed to the water surface for invalid measurement.

[0019] In a possible implementation, there are three U-shaped hanging rings, one of which is fixed to the lower part of the fixing plate, and the other two U-shaped hanging rings are respectively fixed to the left and right sides of the upper part of the fixing plate, so that the three U-shaped hanging rings are distributed in a triangle shape.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution enables the fixing plate to be stably fixed on the handrail of the hull and is not easy to loosen. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] In some embodiments, a portable ADCP marine bracket is provided, comprising a vertically arranged fixed plate 1, a vertically arranged rotating plate 2, and a horizontally arranged connecting rod 3; a U-shaped hanging ring 11 for mounting on a handrail of a hull is fixed on one side wall of the fixed plate 1, and one end of the connecting rod 3 is fixed on the other side wall of the fixed plate 1; one side wall of the rotating plate 2 is used to mount the ADCP, and the other side wall is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod 3; when the rotating plate 2 rotates circumferentially around the connecting rod 3, the ADCP is controlled to be immersed in or exposed from the water.

[0031] In this embodiment, the fixed plate 1, the rotating plate 2 and the connecting rod 3 can all be made of stainless steel to prevent rust, and one end of the connecting rod 3 is welded to the fixed plate 1. The U-shaped hanging ring 11 allows the fixed plate 1 to be detachably mounted on the handrail of the hull, and can be removed when not needed, without affecting the daily use of the ship. The U-shaped hanging ring 11 can be a U-shaped bolt, and ADCP is installed on the rotating plate. When measurement is required, the rotating plate 2 is rotated to make the ADCP submerged in the water. When measurement is not required, the rotating plate 2 is rotated to make the ADCP exposed to the water surface, which can be effectively installed on the ship, thereby fixing the ADCP and facilitating the measurement of the ADCP.

[0032] In some embodiments, the fixed plate 1 and the rotating plate 2 are symmetrically arranged, which can save installation space on the hull and facilitate the rotation of the rotating plate 2.

[0033] In some embodiments, a bearing 21 is fixed in the middle of the rotating plate 2, and the bearing 21 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod 3. The rotating plate 2 can be rotated by the bearing 21, and the bearing 21 can be fixed to the connecting rod 3.

[0034] In some embodiments, an extension rod 12 for installing ADCP is fixed on one side wall of the fixing plate 1. The extension rod 12 can extend the length of the ADCP to a wider extent to adapt to water bodies of different depths, and the length of the extension rod 12 can be flexibly adjusted.

[0035] In some embodiments, an annular groove 111 for wrapping the ADCP fixing tape is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the extension rod 12. The annular groove 111 allows the ADCP fixing tape to be wrapped and tied tightly in the annular groove 111, and the tape is not easy to slip out, so that the ADCP can be effectively fixed and installed.

[0036] In some embodiments, there are multiple annular slots 111, and each annular slot 111 is evenly distributed along the length of the extension rod 12. Multiple annular slots 111 allow the longer fixing straps of the ADCP to be tied around each annular slot 111, so that the ADCP can be fixed and installed more effectively.

[0037] In some embodiments, the fixed plate 1 and the rotating plate 2 are both rectangular structures, and the fixed plate 1 is provided with four first latch holes 13, which are arranged around the fixed plate 1 with the axis of the connecting rod 3 as the center of the circle; the rotating plate 2 is provided with four second latch holes 22, which are arranged around the rotating plate 2 with the axis of the connecting rod 3 as the center of the circle; so that the external latch can be inserted into the fixed plate 1 and the rotating plate 2 through the first latch hole 13 and the second latch hole 22 in sequence, thereby fixing the rotating plate 2. When the rotating plate 2 is rotated to a fixed angle, the latch is inserted into the first latch hole 13 and the second latch hole 22, so that the latch is inserted into the fixed plate 1 and the rotating plate 2 in sequence, thereby fixing the rotating plate 2, thereby preventing the rotating plate 2 from rotating continuously and causing the ADCP to be exposed to the water surface for invalid measurement.

[0038] In some embodiments, there are three U-shaped hanging rings 11, one of which is fixed to the lower part of the fixing plate 1, and the other two U-shaped hanging rings 11 are respectively fixed to the left and right sides of the upper part of the fixing plate 1, so that the three U-shaped hanging rings 11 are distributed in a triangular shape. The U-shaped hanging rings 11 distributed in a triangular shape can allow the fixing plate 1 to be stably fixed to the handrail of the hull and are not easy to loosen.
