[0027] A second connecting rod is connected to the hand-held rod, and the second connecting rod is threadedly connected to the sliding member.

[0028] The technical solution of the utility model has the following advantages:

[0029] 1. The multi-beam transducer installation tool provided by the utility model includes a fixing part and a sliding part. The fixing part has a sliding hole whose axis extends in the horizontal direction. The sliding part can be slidably inserted into the sliding hole. A connecting part is provided at one end of the sliding part for placing the transducer connecting rod. A hand-held part is provided at the other end of the sliding part.

[0047] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0048] The multi-beam transducer installation tool provided in this embodiment is used in the installation process of the multi-beam transducer, which facilitates the adjustment of its horizontal position, saves time and labor, and improves the installation efficiency.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a specific implementation of the multi-beam transducer installation tooling provided in this embodiment includes a fixing member 1 and a sliding member 4, the fixing member 1 has a sliding hole 2 whose axis extends in the horizontal direction, and the fixing member 1 is used to connect with a ship 3; the sliding member 4 can be slidably inserted into the sliding hole 2, and one end of the sliding member 4 is provided with a connecting portion 5, and the connecting portion 5 is used to place the transducer connecting rod 6, and the other end of the sliding member 4 is provided with a hand-held portion 7; wherein, under the action of an external force, the hand-held portion 7 drives the sliding member 4 to drive the connecting portion 5 and the transducer connecting rod 6 to move synchronously.

[0050] During the installation of the transducer connecting rod 6, before it is hoisted, the transducer connecting rod 6 is first placed in the connecting part 5, and the hoisting device performs a common hoisting and lowering process on the installation tool and the transducer connecting rod 6, and lowers it until the installation tool reaches the specified position of the ship 3. After the fixing part 1 is fixedly connected to the ship 3, the handheld part 7 is manually applied to drive the sliding part 4 to slide, and the transducer connecting rod 6 is moved to the specified position in the horizontal direction, and then the transducer connecting rod 6 is finally fixed by the existing fixing tool while maintaining this position. The horizontal position of the transducer connecting rod 6 is adjusted by the movement of the sliding part 4, which is more accurate and convenient than directly adjusting the horizontal position during the lowering process of the hoisting equipment. The structure is simple, which greatly reduces the difficulty of installing the transducer and improves the installation efficiency. The fixing tool is a traditional tool for installing the transducer at this stage, for example, it can be an angle steel frame fixed on the side of the ship.

[0051] Specifically, the cross section of the sliding hole 2 is circular, and the sliding member 4 is a sliding rod adapted to the sliding hole 2. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the cross section of the sliding hole 2 can also be square, and the sliding member 4 is a square rod.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in the multi-beam transducer installation tool provided in this embodiment, the fixing member 1 is detachably connected to the ship 3, and can be removed and installed on other ships at any time, which is easy to operate, highly versatile, and reduces installation costs. Specifically, a connecting hole is provided on the fixing member 1, and a connecting bolt is provided in the connecting hole, and the fixing member 1 is connected to the ship 3 through the connecting bolt.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-beam transducer installation tool provided in this embodiment, the fixing part 1 includes a mounting plate 8 and a connecting sleeve 9, the mounting plate 8 is used for detachable connection with the ship 3; the connecting sleeve 9 is connected to the mounting plate 8, the connecting sleeve 9 has the sliding hole 2, the sliding hole 2 in the connecting sleeve 9 plays a guiding role, which is convenient for adjusting and controlling the position of the transducer connecting rod 6.

[0054] like Figure 1As shown, in the multi-beam transducer installation tool provided in this embodiment, the mounting plate 8 is an inverted U-shaped structure, which can be connected to the ship 3 through three surfaces, thereby improving stability. Specifically, connection holes are provided on the three surfaces of the mounting plate 8, and the mounting plate 8 is bolted to the ship 3 through the three surfaces. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the mounting plate 8 can also be a flat plate structure or an L-shaped structure.

[0055] The multi-beam transducer installation tool provided in this embodiment has detachable connections between the sliding member 4 and the connecting portion 5, and between the sliding member 4 and the hand-held portion 7, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, greatly improving the efficiency of installing the transducer connecting rod 6. Slides 4 of different sizes can be replaced according to different sizes and positions, or connecting portions 5 of different sizes can be replaced, thereby improving the versatility of the installation tool and reducing costs.

The setting of the placement hole 10 can keep the transducer connecting rod 6 in the vertical direction, which is convenient for fixing it in the subsequent process, and the size of the placement hole 10 is smaller than the size of the flange 11, so as to prevent the transducer connecting rod 6 from falling into the ocean during the lowering process. Specifically, the placement hole 10 can have no gap with the transducer connecting rod 6, or it can have a smaller gap.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the multi-beam transducer installation tool provided in this embodiment, the connecting portion 5 includes a first connecting block 12 and a second connecting block 14, the first connecting block 12 has a first arc-shaped concave surface 13; the second connecting block 14 is detachably connected to the first connecting block 12, and the second connecting block 14 has a second arc-shaped concave surface 15, and the first arc-shaped concave surface 13 and the second arc-shaped concave surface 15 are arranged opposite to each other to form the placement hole 10. The arrangement of the first arc-shaped concave surface 13 and the second arc-shaped concave surface 15 guides the transducer connecting rod 6, preventing it from shaking in the placement hole 10 with a large deflection, which affects the final fixation thereof; and the connecting portion 5 is arranged in a split type, which is convenient for the installation of the transducer connecting rod 6. If it is an integrated structure, the connecting portion 5 needs to be penetrated from the top or bottom end of the transducer connecting rod 6, which is easily interfered by other components such as flanges, and the installation is laborious. Specifically, the cross-sections of the first connecting block 12 and the second connecting block 14 are rectangular structures or arc structures.

The setting of the hand-held rod 18 is convenient for the staff to apply force, the force application method is simple and easy to control, and the setting of the threaded connection is convenient for disassembly and installation. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the second connecting rod 19 and the sliding member 4 can also be connected by a flange.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the use process of the multi-beam transducer installation tooling is as follows: in the initial state, the transducer connecting rod 6 can be laid flat or tilted on the ship, the first connecting block 12 and the second connecting block 14 are set on both sides of the transducer connecting rod 6, and then the first connecting block 12 and the second connecting block 14 are docked, and the two connecting blocks are fixedly connected by adjusting the bolts 16; then, a lifting device such as an electric hoist is used to lift the installation tooling and the transducer connecting rod 6 at the same time, and both are synchronously lifted down, the transducer connecting rod 6 is first put into the water, and then the lifting is continued until the installation tooling is lowered to the specified position on the ship 3, and then the fixing part 1 is fixedly connected to the ship 3, and the staff applies force to the handheld part 7 to drive the transducer connecting rod 6 to move to the specified position in the horizontal direction, and then maintain this position, and continue to fix the transducer connecting rod 6 by the fixing tool on the ship's side. Since the horizontal position has been limited, the difficulty of installing the transducer connecting rod 6 by the subsequent fixing tool is reduced, and the installation efficiency is improved.

[0062] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from them are still within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
