DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0019] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model, so as to have a further understanding of the concept, the technical problems solved, the technical features constituting the technical solutions, and the technical effects brought by the present utility model.

[0020] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a measuring device for underwater topographic surveying includes a mounting plate 1, an electric push rod 2, a placement box 3, and a shock absorption unit 4;

[0021] The mounting plate 1 is arranged at the lower end of the surveying ship;

[0022] The electric push rod 2 has its upper end connected to the mounting plate 1 and its lower end connected to the first motor 5, and the output shaft of the first motor 5 faces downward;

[0023] The placement box 3 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 5 at the upper end, and one side of the placement box 3 is open; the measuring instrument 6 is arranged inside the placement box 3, and the measuring end of the measuring instrument 6 faces the opening;

[0024] The shock absorption units 4 are provided in multiple numbers and are respectively arranged on different side walls and the bottom of the placement box 3, and include a first shock absorption pad 41, a shock absorption spring 42, a second shock absorption pad 43 and a baffle 44; the first shock absorption pad 41 is arranged on the side wall or the bottom of the placement box 3, one end of the shock absorption spring 42 is connected to the first shock absorption pad 41, and the other end is connected to the second shock absorption pad 43, and the baffle 44 is fixedly connected to the second shock absorption pad 43.

[0025] When using this device, it is generally used in conjunction with a surveying ship. The mounting plate 1 is installed at the lower end of the surveying ship, and the electric push rod 2 is used to adjust the height of the placement box 3 to make it in the measurement position. The first motor 5 is started, and the first motor 5 drives the placement box 3 to rotate. Since the measuring instrument 6 is placed inside the placement box 3, the measuring instrument 6 is driven to rotate, and the underwater terrain at different angles can be measured; when the placement box 3 moves underwater to adjust the position, if it encounters an external object impact, it first contacts the shock absorption unit 4. The baffle 44 is stressed and rebounds through the elastic force of the shock absorption spring 42, and cooperates with the first shock absorption pad 41 and the second shock absorption pad 43 to buffer and protect the placement box 3, and the shock absorption units 4 are arranged at each part, so as to achieve all-round protection of the measuring instrument 6 and ensure the normal progress of the measurement work.

[0026] As Figure 4 shown, as a preferred embodiment, it further includes a connecting frame 7. The connecting frame 7 is fixedly connected to the measuring instrument 6, and a threaded cylinder 71 is arranged on the connecting frame 7. After the bolt passes through the placement box 3 and the threaded cylinder 71, it is fixed with a nut. In this embodiment, in order to stably connect the measuring instrument 6, a connecting frame 7 is arranged on one side of the measuring instrument 6 for connection, and after the bolt passes through the placement box 3 and the threaded cylinder 71, the fixation is completed, forming a detachable connection, which is convenient for disassembling and assembling the measuring instrument.

[0027] As Figure 4 shown, as a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the placement box 3 is provided with a slot 31, and the lower end of the measuring instrument 6 is provided with an insertion block 8. After the insertion block 8 is inserted into the slot 31, it is fixed by passing a bolt through. In this embodiment, after the slot 31 is arranged on the placement box 3, the measuring instrument 6 and the placement box 3 are connected by the insertion block 8, and a detachable connection is also formed, which is convenient for disassembling and assembling the measuring instrument. More preferably, the two methods of arranging the connecting frame 7 on the side and the insertion block 8 on the bottom can be adopted at the same time, so that the connection is more stable and the measuring instrument 6 is prevented from detaching from the placement box 3 after being impacted.

[0028] The "connection" and "fixation" mentioned in the description of the present utility model can be fixed connection, machining and forming, welding, or mechanical connection. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model should be understood according to the specific circumstances.
