Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ships, and in particular relates to a ship draft observation device. Background Art
[0002] Ship is a general term for various vessels. Ship is a means of transport that can sail or anchor in waters for transportation or operation. The existing ship draft position observation cannot be effectively observed on board, and requires a small boat to observe, which makes the observation efficiency low. In addition, there is currently no device for observing the draft position of ships of different sizes;
[0003] Traditional observation methods usually rely on small boats or specific equipment for close-range measurements, which means that observation work not only requires additional work vessels and human resources, but is also limited by the mobility of small boats and the operating environment, such as water flow, weather, etc. This observation method is not only inefficient, but also may not even be able to conduct effective observations in some complex or harsh environments. At present, there is a lack of a draft position observation device that can be used for ships of different water depths on the market. Due to the different sizes, shapes and operating environments of ships, a single observation method or equipment is difficult to meet the needs of different ship types. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model provides a ship draft observation device, aiming to solve the problem that the traditional observation method that relies on small boats or specific equipment is not only inefficient, but also limited by the mobility and operating environment of small boats. At present, there is a lack of universal observation devices suitable for ships of different water depths on the market, which makes it difficult to meet diversified needs.
[0005] The utility model is implemented as follows: a ship draft observation device comprises a group of parallel arranged transverse electric slide rails; a group of longitudinal electric slide rails arranged between the moving ends of the two transverse electric slide rails, a gap is arranged between the two longitudinal electric slide rails; an adjustment mechanism is arranged above the gap; the adjustment mechanism comprises: a support base sliding on the moving ends of the two longitudinal electric slide rails; two vertical plates arranged on the support base; a roller rotating between the two vertical plates, a rope is arranged around the roller; a servo motor arranged on the outer side wall of one of the vertical plates, the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected with the end key of the roller; a cross bar arranged on the bottom side of the support base; a group of electric telescopic rods arranged on the outside of the cross bar; a receiving block arranged at the output end of the two electric telescopic rods, a group of parallel arranged limit rods are arranged between the two receiving blocks; the rope extends to the lower position of the gap between the two limit rods and an observation mechanism is arranged.
[0006] Preferably, the observation mechanism comprises: a push plate arranged at the end of the rope; a camera collection head and a water level sensor arranged above the push plate; and a counterweight block arranged at the middle position of the bottom side of the push plate.
[0007] Preferably, it further comprises a moving trolley, a support column is arranged above the moving trolley, an assembly frame is arranged above the support column, and the assembly frame is connected to the top positions of the two transverse electric slide rails.
[0008] Preferably, a control console is provided on the side of the mobile vehicle, and the control console is electrically connected to the camera acquisition head, the water level sensor, the observation mechanism and the adjustment mechanism.
[0009] Preferably, a side wall of the support base is provided with a reserved through hole for the rope to pass through.
[0010] Preferably, a handle is provided on the outer side wall of the console.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present application have the following beneficial effects:
[0012] First: through the coordination of the transverse electric slide and the longitudinal electric slide, the observation mechanism can move freely in the transverse and longitudinal directions of the ship. This dual movement design greatly improves the application flexibility of the entire device. The height of the observation mechanism can also be precisely adjusted by the servo motor driving the roller rotation and the lifting of the rope to adapt to the draft observation requirements of different depths. This high degree of flexibility and adjustability means that the operator can quickly and accurately adjust the position and angle of the camera acquisition head and water level sensor according to actual needs to obtain the best observation effect.
[0013] Second: During the descent of the rope, the electric telescopic rod extends and retracts to drive the receiving block and the limit rod to move downward synchronously, ensuring the stability of the rope during the lifting process and effectively preventing the instability of the observation mechanism caused by the shaking of the rope. In addition, the water level sensor can accurately measure the draft depth of the ship and convert tiny water level changes into electrical signals sent to the console, providing accurate data support for the operator.

The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.
[0020] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0021] The utility model provides a ship draft observation device, such as Figure 1-4As shown, it includes a group of parallel horizontal electric slide rails 1; a group of longitudinal electric slide rails 2 arranged between the moving ends of the two horizontal electric slide rails 1, and a gap is arranged between the two longitudinal electric slide rails 2; an adjustment mechanism arranged above the gap; the adjustment mechanism includes: a support base 3 sliding on the moving ends of the two longitudinal electric slide rails 2; two vertical plates 4 arranged on the support base 3; a roller 5 rotating between the two vertical plates 4, and a rope 6 is arranged around the roller 5; a servo motor 7 arranged on the outer wall of one of the vertical plates 4, and the output end of the servo motor 7 is fixedly connected with the end key of the roller 5; a cross bar 8 arranged on the bottom side of the support base 3; a group of electric telescopic rods 9 arranged on the outside of the cross bar 8; a receiving block 10 provided at the output end of the two electric telescopic rods 9, and a group of parallel limit rods 11 are arranged between the two receiving blocks 10; the rope 6 extends to the lower position of the gap between the two limit rods 11 and an observation mechanism is arranged.
[0022] It should be noted that the traditional observation method that relies on small boats or specific equipment is not only inefficient, but also limited by the mobility and operating environment of the small boats. There is currently a lack of universal observation devices suitable for ships of different water depths on the market, which makes it difficult to meet diverse needs. This solution achieves flexible movement of the observation mechanism on the ship through the cooperation of the horizontal and longitudinal electric slide rails 2, and uses the servo motor 7 to drive the rope 6 to rise and fall, and accurately adjust the height of the observation mechanism to meet the draft observation needs of different depths. This design not only improves the application flexibility, but also allows the operator to quickly and accurately adjust the position and angle of the camera acquisition head 13 and the water level sensor 14 to ensure the best observation effect. In addition, the combination of the electric telescopic rod 9 and the limit rod 11 ensures the stability of the rope 6 rise and fall, effectively avoiding the instability of the observation mechanism. Overall, this design combines high flexibility and precise adjustment capabilities, providing an efficient and reliable solution for ship monitoring.
[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the scheme mainly includes a set of transverse electric slide rails 1; the motor of the transverse electric slide rail 1 drives its moving end to move in the transverse direction of the ship, while the motor of the longitudinal electric slide rail 2 drives its moving end to move in the longitudinal direction of the ship. This dual movement design improves the flexibility of the application of the entire device, and is convenient for adjusting the observation position and angle according to actual needs. When water level observation is required, the servo motor 7 is connected to drive the roller 5 to rotate through a key fixed connection, and the rotation of the roller 5 causes the rope 6 wound thereon to drop accordingly, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the observation mechanism. This design enables the observation mechanism to be adjusted according to different draft observation requirements;
[0024] During the descent of the rope 6, the electric telescopic rod 9 will extend and retract to drive the receiving block 10 and the limit rod 11 to move downward synchronously. The rope 6 is clamped between the two limit rods 11, ensuring the stability of the rope 6 during the lifting process and effectively preventing the instability of the observation mechanism caused by the shaking of the rope 6. After the position adjustment is completed, the observation mechanism starts to work to monitor and record the draft of the ship in real time.
[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-3 As shown, the observation mechanism includes: a push plate 12 arranged at the end of the rope 6; a camera head 13 and a water level sensor 14 (UHZ-50) arranged above the push plate 12; and a counterweight block 15 is arranged in the middle position of the bottom side of the push plate 12.
[0026] In this embodiment, the camera head 13 captures and records the visual image of the ship's draft in real time, so as to intuitively understand the degree of immersion of the ship in the water and thus judge the draft. The water level sensor 14 is used to accurately measure the depth of the ship's draft. The water level sensor 14 can usually sense slight changes in the water level and convert it into an electrical signal and send it to the console 19. The counterweight block 15 is set in the middle position of the bottom side of the push plate 12. Its main function is to ensure the stability of the observation mechanism during the lifting process. Since the observation mechanism may need to observe at different draft depths, the presence of the counterweight block 15 can help offset the buoyancy generated by components such as the camera head 13 and the water level sensor 14, so that the observation mechanism maintains a relatively stable posture during the lifting process.
[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a moving trolley 16 , a support column 17 is arranged above the moving trolley 16 , an assembly frame 18 is arranged at the upper position of the support column 17 , and the assembly frame 18 is connected to the top position of the two horizontal electric slide rails 1 .
[0028] In this embodiment, the presence of the mobile cart 16 allows the entire observation device to be flexibly moved around the ship, making it easy to quickly reach the designated position for observation when needed. The structural design of the support column 17 and the assembly frame 18 provides stable support to ensure that key components such as the camera acquisition head 13 and the water level sensor 14 remain stable during the observation and measurement process.
[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a control console 19 is provided on the side of the mobile vehicle 16 , and the control console 19 is electrically connected to the camera acquisition head 13 , the water level sensor 14 , the observation mechanism and the adjustment mechanism.
[0030] In this embodiment, the camera acquisition head 13 captures and records the visual image of the ship's draft in real time, and transmits the image data to the console 19 via electrical signals. After receiving the signals, the console 19 will decode and process them and display the images on the display screen of the console 19. In this way, the operator can watch the dynamic image of the ship's draft in real time on the console 19, so as to intuitively understand the degree of immersion of the ship in the water. The water level sensor 14 is responsible for accurately measuring the depth of the ship's draft. When the water level changes, the water level sensor 14 will immediately sense the change and convert it into an electrical signal and transmit it to the console 19. After receiving the signal from the water level sensor 14, the console 19 will parse and process it, and finally display the draft depth data on the display screen of the console 19. In this way, the operator can understand the draft depth of the ship at any time, providing a decision-making basis for the navigation and operation of the ship.
[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-2 As shown, the side wall of the support base 3 is provided with a reserved through hole 20 for the rope 6 to pass through.
[0032] In this embodiment, the reserved through hole 20 allows the rope 6 to pass through the supporting base 3 conveniently, so that the entire observation device can be easily fixed or hung.
[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a handle 21 is provided on the outer side wall of the console 19 .
[0034] In this embodiment, the operator can easily hold the handle 21 and move the control console 19 from one position to another without excessive effort.
[0035] Working principle: The motor-driven design of the transverse electric slide rail 1 and the longitudinal electric slide rail 2 of the device enables the observation mechanism to move flexibly in the transverse and longitudinal directions of the ship; this dual-movement design greatly improves the application flexibility of the entire device, and is convenient for adjusting the position and angle of the camera acquisition head 13 and the water level sensor 14 according to actual observation needs; when water level observation is required, the servo motor 7 is connected to drive the roller 5 to rotate through a key fixation; the rotation of the roller 5 causes the rope 6 wound thereon to drop accordingly, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the observation mechanism; this design enables the observation mechanism to be adjusted according to different draft observation requirements;
[0036] During the descent of the rope 6, the electric telescopic rod 9 will extend and retract to drive the receiving block 10 and the limit rod 11 to move downward synchronously; the rope 6 is limited between the two limit rods 11. This design ensures the stability of the rope 6 during the lifting process and effectively prevents the instability of the observation mechanism caused by the shaking of the rope 6; after the position adjustment is completed, the observation mechanism starts to work to monitor and record the draft of the ship in real time;
[0037] The camera head 13 captures and records the visual image of the ship's draft in real time, providing the operator with an intuitive understanding of the degree of immersion of the ship in the water, thereby providing a basis for judging the draft; the water level sensor 14 is responsible for accurately measuring the depth of the ship's draft; the water level sensor 14 can sense slight changes in the water level and convert them into electrical signals and send them to the control console 19; the counterweight block 15 is set in the middle position of the bottom side of the push plate 12, and its main function is to ensure the stability of the observation mechanism during the lifting process; since the observation mechanism may need to observe at different draft depths, the presence of the counterweight block 15 can help offset the buoyancy generated by components such as the camera head 13 and the water level sensor 14, so that the observation mechanism maintains a relatively stable posture during the lifting process;
[0038] The visual image data of the ship's draft captured and recorded by the camera acquisition head 13 is transmitted to the control console 19 via electrical signals; after receiving these signals, the control console 19 will decode and process them, and display the images on the display screen of the control console 19; in this way, the operator can watch the dynamic image of the ship's draft in real time on the control console 19, and intuitively understand the degree of immersion of the ship in the water; at the same time, the draft depth data measured by the water level sensor 14 will also be transmitted to the control console 19 in real time and displayed on the display screen; in this way, the operator can understand the draft depth of the ship at any time, providing a decision-making basis for the navigation and operation of the ship.
