Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of data acquisition devices, and more specifically to an underwater data acquisition device and a collection ship. Background Art
[0002] Underwater data acquisition plays an irreplaceable role in many fields such as scientific research, resource development, environmental protection, and national security. With the continuous development of technology, how to improve the accuracy and efficiency of underwater data acquisition has become a current research hotspot.
[0003] The underwater unit of a sonar device can emit sound waves into the water area to be measured. When the sound waves contact the bottom ground or other obstacles, they will be reflected. By analyzing the intensity and frequency spectrum of the reflected sound waves, the underwater situation can be obtained. As shown in the prior art of publication number CN217875048U, although this prior art can be installed on different hulls and can also adjust the water depth of the fixed side-scan sonar according to the detection needs, the water depth of the side-scan sonar can be quantitatively controlled, with high integration and convenient adjustment. However, the adjustment method and steps of the side-scan sonar in this prior art are relatively cumbersome, which will affect the convenience of the staff to adjust the side-scan sonar.
[0004] In addition, the overall space occupied by this technical solution is too large, resulting in the staff being unable to take out the side-scan sonar from the water surface for maintenance in time. Summary of the Utility Model

[0028] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation manners of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand the other advantages and effects of the present utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Referring to the attached Figures 1-5 description, the present utility model provides an underwater data acquisition device and an acquisition ship, including a side-scan sonar 1 for underwater data acquisition, and a functional component for height and angle adjustment is arranged outside the side-scan sonar 1;
[0030] As Figure 2 shown in 3 Figures 4, 5, and 5, the functional component includes a hollow column 2. Two pulleys 3 are arranged inside the hollow column 2. Both of the two pulleys 3 are movably connected to the inner wall of the hollow column 2 through a rotating shaft. A belt 4 is arranged between the two pulleys 3, and the two pulleys 3 are driven by the belt 4; both sides of the bottom end of the hollow column 2 are provided with connecting brackets 5, and the top end of the connecting bracket 5 penetrates through the hollow column 2 and is fixed to the pulley 3 located inside the bottom end of the hollow column 2. The side-scan sonar 1 is fixed to the two connecting brackets 5 through bolts; a fixed plate 6 is installed at the rear side of the hollow column 2, a toothed plate 7 is installed at the rear side of the fixed plate 6, and a gear 8 is engaged with the rear side of the bottom end of the toothed plate 7.
[0031] The first motor 13 drives the gear 8 to rotate. The gear 8 drives the hollow column 2 to move up and down by means of the engaged toothed plate 7. The hollow column 2 drives the side-scan sonar 1 to move through the connecting bracket 5. In this way, the effect of height adjustment of the side-scan sonar 1 can be achieved. At the same time, the second motor 16 is used to drive the two pulleys 3 driven by the belt 4 to rotate, so as to drive the connecting bracket 5 to drive the side-scan sonar 1 to turn outwards, so that the side-scan sonar 1 is displaced to one side of the top end of the hollow column 2, which is convenient for the staff to overhaul and maintain the side-scan sonar 1. At the same time, the side-scan sonar 1 when not in use can also be folded and stored, achieving the effect of being convenient for carrying and transportation.
[0032] As Figures 2-4 shown, a mounting seat 9 is provided at the rear side of the gear 8. Two spaced-apart mounting members 10 are mounted on the front side of the top end of the mounting seat 9. The gear 8 is movably mounted between the two mounting members 10 through a rotating shaft. Through the mounting seat 9 on the mounting seat 9, the gear 8 can be mounted and fixed to ensure the running stability of the gear 8.
[0033] As Figures 2-4 shown, a limiting hole 11 is formed inside the fixing plate 6, and a limiting bracket 12 with a U-shaped cross-section is provided inside the bottom end of the limiting hole 11. Both bottom ends of the two ends of the limiting bracket 12 are fixed to the top of the mounting seat 9. Through the combined use of the limiting bracket 12 and the limiting hole 11, the fixing plate 6 mounted on the hollow column 2 can be limited, and thereby the stability of the hollow column 2 during up and down movement can be ensured, avoiding the situation that the hollow column 2 is skewed or offset. The cross-section of the limiting hole 11 and the cross-section of the limiting bracket 12 are both rectangular. The outer part of the limiting bracket 12 is in contact with the inner wall of the limiting hole 11. By setting the cross-sections of the limiting bracket 12 and the limiting hole 11 to be rectangular, the limiting effect of the limiting bracket 12 and the limiting hole 11 can be enhanced, thereby ensuring the stability of the fixing plate 6.
[0034] As Figure 4 shown, a first motor 13 is mounted on the side of one of the mounting members 10 away from the gear 8. The output shaft of the first motor 13 penetrates through the mounting member 10 and is fixed to the rotating shaft on the gear 8. The first motor 13 drives the gear 8 to rotate, and drives the hollow column 2 to move up and down through the meshing of the gear 8 and the toothed plate 7. A first protective cover 14 is sleeved outside one end of the first motor 13 away from the mounting member 10, and the first protective cover 14 is mounted on the side of the mounting member 10 close to the first motor 13. A plurality of spaced-apart first through holes 15 are formed on the side of the first protective cover 14 away from the mounting member 10. The first protective cover 14 shields and protects the first motor 13 to ensure the performance of the first motor 13, and the plurality of first through holes 15 can ensure air circulation.

The output shaft of the second motor 16 penetrates through the hollow column 2 and is fixed to the pulley 3 located inside the top end of the hollow column 2. By driving the two pulleys 3 driven by the belt 4 through the second motor 16, the connecting bracket 5 can be driven to drive the side-scan sonar 1 to rotate outwards, achieving the effects of folding storage and convenient maintenance. A second protective cover 17 is installed on one side of the top end of the hollow column 2 close to the second motor 16. The second protective cover 17 is sleeved outside the second motor 16, and a plurality of second through holes 18 are arranged at intervals at one end of the second protective cover 17 away from the hollow column 2. The second motor 16 is shielded and protected by the second protective cover 17 to ensure the performance of the second motor 16. At the same time, the air circulation is ensured by the second through holes 18 to prevent the second motor 16 from overloading due to the inability to dissipate heat.
[0036] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model further includes a collection ship, including a collection ship body 19. The hollow column 2, the connecting bracket 5 and the side-scan sonar 1 are arranged on one side of the collection ship body 19, and the mounting seat 9 is installed on the top of the collection ship body 19. By installing the side-scan sonar 1 and the functional components on the collection ship body 19, the present utility model can perform large-scale detection of the underwater area with the help of the collection ship body 19, thereby improving the collection efficiency.
