[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0019] Embodiment 1: Refer to Figures 1-3, A ship obstacle avoidance device, including a fixing frame 1, and mounting holes are provided on the fixing frame 1 so that the fixing frame 1 can be fixed on the ship through bolts.

[0020] A threaded rod 10 is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 1 through a bearing. A threaded sleeve 11 is threadedly penetrated through the threaded rod 10. A housing 2 is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve 11. An ultrasonic sensor is provided inside the housing 2. The ultrasonic sensor is signal-connected to the obstacle avoidance module on the ship. The housing 2 is limited by a limiting mechanism. A connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 1. The connecting plate 6 is connected to a cutting knife 4 through a connecting mechanism. The cutting knife 4 moves through a moving mechanism. The cutting knife 4 can abut against the threaded rod 10. When a plastic bag or seaweed is wound around the threaded rod 10 and causes the threaded rod 10 to be unable to rotate, it moves through the moving mechanism, which will drive the cutting knife 4 to move and cut off the wound plastic bag or seaweed to prevent it from winding around the threaded rod 10, so as to rotate the threaded rod 10, raise the housing 2, disassemble it, and maintain the internal ultrasonic sensor.

[0021] The limiting mechanism includes a limiting rod 3. The limiting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 1. A moving sleeve 16 is penetrated through the limiting rod 3. The moving sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the housing 2. By using the limiting rod 3 and the moving sleeve 16, the housing 2 is limited to prevent the housing 2 from rotating.

[0022] The connecting mechanism includes a connecting sleeve 7. The connecting sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 6. A connecting edge 5 is fixedly connected to the cutting knife 4. The connecting edge 5 can be inserted into the connecting sleeve 7. By using the connecting edge 5 and the connecting sleeve 7 for connection, the cutting knife 4 is limited longitudinally to prevent the cutting knife 4 from moving longitudinally.

[0023] The moving mechanism includes a telescopic rod 8. The telescopic rod 8 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 1. An articulated rod 9 is hinged to the telescopic rod 8. The articulated rod 9 is hinged to the cutting knife 4. The telescopic rod 8 is a hydraulic telescopic rod. By extending the telescopic rod 8, the inclination angle of the articulated rod 9 is adjusted, thereby pushing the cutting knife 4 to move and abutting the cutting knife 4 against the threaded rod 10 and the limiting rod 3 to cut off the winding object.

By connecting the fixing rod 15 and the fixing sleeve 13, the threaded rod 10 is limited to prevent the threaded rod 10 from rotating when the ship is moving, thereby ensuring the fixed position of the housing 2.

[0025] When in use: extend the telescopic rod 8 to adjust the inclination angle of the articulated rod 9, thereby pushing the cutter 4 to move until the cutter 4 abuts against the limiting rod 3 of the threaded rod 10 to cut off the winding. Then rotate the threaded rod 10 to raise the housing 2 and disassemble it to maintain the ultrasonic sensor inside.

[0026] Embodiment 3: Refer to Figure 4 , as another preferred embodiment of the present invention, on the basis of Embodiment 2, a connecting rope 12 is connected to the fixing rod 15.
