[0002] Diving originally meant an activity of entering the water surface with or without professional tools for underwater exploration, salvage, repair and underwater engineering operations. Later, diving gradually developed into a leisure sport with underwater activities as the main content, so as to achieve the purpose of physical exercise and leisure entertainment, and is widely loved by the public.

[0003] In the prior art, among the methods currently used for underwater positioning in diving, on the one hand, the method of directly using manual visual search and borrowing auxiliary equipment such as steel tapes and leather tapes for positioning is adopted, and on the other hand, large and medium-sized high-end equipment such as underwater video cameras, submersibles, and underwater robots is used for auxiliary positioning.

[0004] However, the methods adopted by traditional positioning have great limitations and are not convenient for personnel to use during diving. When using large and medium-sized high-end equipment such as underwater video cameras, submersibles, and underwater robots for positioning, such equipment has complex structures, large volumes, and high costs. Since the environment where the device is located is relatively humid, the device requires good sealing performance. Therefore, the utility model proposes a diving locator to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0026] During specific use, the required instrument is installed in the buoy shell 1, the convex block on the upper surface of the upper sealing gasket 11 is snapped into the second limiting groove 10 opened on the surface of the transparent upper protective cover 2, the lower sealing gasket 12 is snapped into the first limiting groove 7 opened on the upper surface of the buoy shell 1, the clamping block 9 is pressed and aligned with the limiting card slot 5, and the transparent upper protective cover 2 is installed downward. At this time, the convex block on the lower surface of the upper sealing gasket 11 just snaps into the slot on the upper surface of the lower sealing gasket 12, the clamping block 9 is released, and the spring 14 pushes the clamping block 9 to make the clamping block 9 snap into the limiting card slot 5 to fix the transparent upper protective cover 2 on the buoy shell 1. The airbag 13 is inflated through the air valve provided on the airbag 13 to make it expand, and then the device can be used for diving positioning.

[0027] Embodiment 2

[0028] On the basis of the first embodiment, a support column 3 is provided for the convenience of using the device. The support column 3 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the float shell 1. A strobe light 16 and a speaker 17 are arranged inside the support column 3. The support column 3 is transparent. The part of the support column 3 located underwater has a long light propagation distance underwater. The strobe light 16 arranged inside the support column 3 can give a positioning mark to the diver, facilitating the positioning of the diver. When the underwater environment is poor, the speaker 17 arranged inside the support column 3 can play sounds to assist the diver in positioning, with high practicability. The fixing block 8 is in the shape of a square plate. One side of the fixing block 8 is fixedly connected to the spring 14, and the other end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 9. The convex block at one end of the clamping block 9 can be inserted into the limit card slot 5. A number of limit columns 15 are fixedly connected to the clamping block 9, and the limit columns 15 are slidably connected to the holes provided on the fixing block 8. The staff presses the clamping block 9 to contract the spring 14, so that the protruding part of the clamping block 9 disengages from the limit card slot 5, and then the transparent upper protective cover 2 can be removed from the float shell 1, facilitating the staff to perform later maintenance on the device. The diameter of one end of the limit column 15 is larger than the holes provided on the fixing block 8, which can prevent the clamping block 9 from falling off. The support frame 6 is fixedly connected to the float shell 1. A strobe light 16 and a number of antennas 20 are arranged on the upper surface of the support frame 6. The strobe light 16 arranged on the upper surface of the support frame 6 can emit optical signals to the outside through the transparent upper protective cover 2, facilitating the personnel on the ship to locate the position of the diver. The antennas 20 arranged on the support frame 6 have functions of satellite positioning and remote control signal reception. If the diver wears a satellite locator, the position of the device can also be found through satellite positioning on the water surface, facilitating the actual use of the diver.

[0029] Embodiment Three

[0030] On the basis of the second embodiment, a first limiting groove 7 is provided to improve the waterproofness of the device. The first limiting groove 7 is in the shape of an annular groove. The lower gasket 12 can be inserted into the first limiting groove 7 opened on the upper surface of the floating cylinder housing 1. An airbag 13 and a towing rope ear 4 are fixedly connected to the outer side surface of the floating cylinder housing 1. A power supply 19 and a central control module 18 are arranged on the upper surface of the inner wall of the floating cylinder housing 1. The power supply 19 supplies power to all the instruments in the device, and the central control module 18 controls the operation of all the instruments in the device. In open water areas, a ship can use a rope to connect the towing rope ear 4 and then connect the locator. When the airbag 13 is filled with air, it can prevent the device from tipping over in a relatively harsh water environment. Even if the device tips over, the airbag 13 can quickly float the upper surface of the device, thereby improving the waterproofness of the device. The second limiting groove 10 is in the shape of a "convex" groove. The convex block fixed on the upper surface of the upper gasket 11 can be inserted into the second limiting groove 10. The lower gasket 12 can be inserted into the first limiting groove 7 opened on the upper surface of the floating cylinder housing 1. The convex block fixed on the upper surface of the upper gasket 11 can be inserted into the second limiting groove 10. The transparent upper protective cover 2 is installed on the floating cylinder housing 1. At this time, the convex block on the lower surface of the upper gasket 11 just fits into the groove on the upper surface of the lower gasket 12. The upper gasket 11 and the lower gasket 12 cooperate with each other to greatly improve the sealing performance of the device, avoiding water ingress into the device and thus preventing device damage.

[0031] Working principle: In actual use, a flashing light 16 is arranged in the support column 3 to give a light signal to the diver. When the underwater environment is poor, the sound horn 17 arranged in the support column 3 can play sound. The two cooperate with each other to assist the diver in positioning, with high practicability and safety. A flashing light 16 is arranged on the upper surface of the support frame 6 to emit a light signal to the outside through the transparent upper protective cover 2, facilitating the shipboard personnel to locate the position of the device and the diver, improving safety. The multiple antennas 20 arranged on the support frame 6 have satellite positioning and remote control signal receiving functions. If the diver wears a satellite locator, the position of the device can also be found through satellite positioning on the water surface, with high practicability. Install the transparent upper protective cover 2 downward. At this time, the convex block on the lower surface of the upper gasket 11 just fits into the groove on the upper surface of the lower gasket 12 and is mutually extruded, avoiding water seepage at the joint between the floating cylinder housing 1 and the transparent upper protective cover 2, greatly improving the sealing performance of the device, and avoiding water ingress into the device and thus preventing device damage. Release the latch 9, and the spring 14 pushes the latch 9 to make the latch 9 engage in the limit card slot 5 to fix the transparent upper protective cover 2 on the floating cylinder housing 1, facilitating the installation and disassembly by the staff, with a simple structure, convenient for the later maintenance by the staff, and low usage cost.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model.
