Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of underwater boosters, and particularly relates to an underwater booster with an anti-collision function. Background Technique

[0002] In the fields of underwater exploration, operation, and entertainment, etc., the application of underwater boosters is becoming increasingly widespread. The underwater environment is complex and changeable, with various unknown obstacles, such as rocks, sunken shipwrecks, marine organisms, etc. When the underwater booster collides with these obstacles during operation, it may not only cause damage to the booster itself, affecting its normal operation and service life, but also pose a threat to the safety of users.

[0003] The anti-collision design of traditional underwater boosters is often relatively simple or lacks an effective anti-collision mechanism. Some boosters rely solely on manual control by users to avoid collisions, but the reaction speed and judgment ability of people have limitations in the complex underwater environment, making it difficult to completely avoid accidental collisions.

[0004] In addition, some underwater boosters with simple anti-collision functions may adopt a relatively single protective structure, such as setting a hard protective shell outside the booster. However, this protection method often cannot effectively disperse and absorb the impact force when facing a strong impact, and is prone to damage to internal key components.

[0005] There are also some underwater boosters that detect obstacles by installing sensors and try to avoid collisions by changing the movement direction. But when the sensors fail or encounter sudden situations and cannot avoid in time, it cannot provide effective anti-collision protection.

[0006] At the same time, the existing anti-collision designs are not ideal enough in terms of reducing collision damage. When a collision inevitably occurs, it cannot evenly distribute and effectively buffer the impact force of the collision, which may cause greater damage.

[0007] Therefore, we propose an underwater booster with an anti-collision function. This device can ensure the normal operation of the booster while minimizing the damage caused by collisions, improving the use safety and reliability of the underwater booster, and reducing the purchase and maintenance costs to a certain extent. Content of the Utility Model

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an underwater booster with an anti-collision function. This device can ensure the normal operation of the booster while minimizing the damage caused by collisions, improving the use safety and reliability of the underwater booster, and reducing the purchase and maintenance costs to a certain extent.

[0009] The technical solutions adopted by this utility model are specifically as follows:

[0010] An underwater booster with anti-collision function, comprising a booster body, the booster body includes a protective housing and two brackets arranged outside the protective housing, and a power assembly is arranged on the brackets;

[0011] One side of the protective housing is provided with a semi-circular protective cover, and a plurality of first through holes and movable holes are opened on the semi-circular protective cover. A movable rod is arranged inside the movable hole. One end of the movable rod is installed with an obstacle avoidance sensor, and one end of the movable rod is installed with an octagonal moving block located inside the protective housing. Each side of the octagonal moving block is provided with a first meshing tooth, and a first spring is sleeved on the movable rod. The first spring is located between the obstacle avoidance sensor and the semi-circular protective cover;

[0012] A second through hole corresponding to the position of the first through hole is opened on one side of the protective housing, and a plurality of first hollow shells are arranged on the inner wall of the protective housing. Each first hollow shell is provided with a third through hole and a through groove. A movable rod is arranged inside the third through hole. One end of the movable rod is provided with an airbag ball. A second hollow shell is slidably arranged inside the first hollow shell. A sliding plate is arranged inside the second hollow shell. One side of the sliding plate is connected to the movable rod, and a second spring is arranged on the other side of the sliding plate. And a second meshing tooth located inside the through groove is arranged at the bottom of the second hollow shell. A gear located at the bottom of the first hollow shell is arranged between the second meshing tooth and the first meshing tooth.

[0013] Further, a comfort layer is arranged on the bracket.

[0014] Further, the width of the through groove is smaller than the width of the second hollow shell.

[0015] Further, the positions of the first through hole, the second through hole and the third through hole correspond to each other.

[0016] Further, a buffer layer is arranged outside the protective housing.

[0017] Further, vent holes communicating with the airbag ball are opened on the sliding plate and the movable rod.

[0018] Further, the power assembly includes a cylindrical shell connected to the bracket, and a spiral blade driven by a waterproof motor is arranged inside the cylindrical shell.

[0019] The technical effects obtained by this utility model are:

[0020] First, the booster body operates to facilitate people's use. When the booster body is operating and encounters an obstacle, the obstacle avoidance sensor first works to avoid the obstacle, thereby achieving the effect of anti-collision. If the obstacle avoidance sensor fails to work or in extreme cases where a collision must occur, the obstacle avoidance sensor first disengages from the object, and then the obstacle avoidance sensor drives the movable rod to move inside the movable hole, thereby driving the octagonal moving block to move inside the housing. The first meshing teeth on the octagonal moving block drive the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the second meshing teeth to move the second hollow housing inside the first hollow housing, so that the moving rod extends from the second through-hole and the first through-hole, and thus the moving rod moves to the outside to contact the object. When contacting the object to be collided, the moving rod drives the sliding plate to move inside the second hollow housing, and the sliding plate squeezes the second spring when moving, so that the impact force of the collision is evenly distributed, effectively reducing the damage caused by the collision. This ingenious structural design can ensure the normal operation of the booster while minimizing the damage caused by collisions, improving the safety and reliability of the underwater booster.

[0029] To make the purpose and advantages of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the following specifically describes this utility model in combination with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text only describes one or several specific implementation manners of this utility model, and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed for this utility model.

[0030] As Figures 1-6 shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is specifically as follows: An underwater booster with an anti-collision function, including a booster body 1. The booster body 1 includes a protective housing 2 and two brackets 3 arranged on the outer side of the protective housing 2. A power assembly is arranged on the brackets 3;

[0031] On one side of the protective housing 2, a semi-circular protective cover 4 is arranged. A plurality of first through holes 5 and movable holes are opened on the semi-circular protective cover 4. An activity rod 6 is arranged inside the movable hole. One end of the activity rod 6 is installed with an obstacle avoidance sensor 7. One end of the activity rod 6 is installed with an octagonal moving block 8 located inside the protective housing 2. Each side of the octagonal moving block 8 is provided with a first engagement tooth 9. And a first spring 10 is sleeved on the activity rod 6. The first spring 10 is located between the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 and the semi-circular protective cover 4;

[0032] On one side of the protective housing 2, a second through hole corresponding to the position of the first through hole 5 is opened. And a plurality of first hollow shells 11 are arranged on the inner wall of the protective housing 2. A third through hole and a through groove 12 are arranged on each first hollow shell 11. A moving rod 13 is arranged inside the third through hole. One end of the moving rod 13 is provided with an air bag ball 14. A second hollow shell 15 is slidably arranged inside the first hollow shell 11. A sliding plate 16 is arranged inside the second hollow shell 15. One side of the sliding plate 16 is connected to the moving rod 13. And a second spring 17 is arranged on the other side of the sliding plate 16. And a second engagement tooth 18 located inside the through groove 12 is arranged at the bottom of the second hollow shell 15. A gear 19 located at the bottom of the first hollow shell 11 is arranged between the second engagement tooth 18 and the first engagement tooth 9.

[0033] Its working principle is as follows: First, the booster body 1 works to facilitate people's use. When the booster body 1 is working and encounters an obstacle, the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 works first to avoid the obstacle, thus achieving the effect of anti-collision. If the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 fails to work or in extreme cases when a collision must occur, the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 first disengages from the object, and then the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 drives the movable rod 6 to move inside the movable hole, thereby driving the octagonal moving block 8 to move inside the housing. The first engaging tooth 9 on the octagonal moving block 8 drives the gear 19 to rotate, and the gear 19 drives the second engaging tooth 18 to move the second hollow housing 15 inside the first hollow housing 11, so that the moving rod 13 extends from the second through-hole and the first through-hole 5, and thus the moving rod 13 moves to the outside to contact the object. When contacting the object to be collided, the moving rod 13 drives the sliding plate 16 to move inside the second hollow housing 15, and the sliding plate 16 squeezes the second spring 17 when moving, so that the impact force of the collision is evenly distributed, effectively reducing the damage caused by the collision. This ingenious structural design can ensure the normal operation of the booster while minimizing the damage caused by collisions, improving the safety and reliability of the underwater booster.

[0034] Among them, the function of the bracket 3 is to enable people to hold it, thus facilitating people's use. Therefore, a comfort layer is provided on the bracket 3, and through the comfort layer, people can feel comfortable.

[0035] At the same time, the obstacle avoidance function of the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 has been disclosed in the prior art. For example, an underwater booster with anti-collision and obstacle avoidance functions disclosed in the authorized announcement number CN210634733U works through the ultrasonic obstacle avoidance sensor 7 to achieve anti-collision performance. The obstacle avoidance function of the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 has been disclosed in the above patents and will not be elaborated here.

[0036] The width of the through groove 12 is smaller than the width of the second hollow housing 15. Such a setting can enable the second hollow housing 15 to slide inside the first hollow housing 11 without falling off.

[0037] The positions of the first through-hole 5, the second through-hole, and the third through-hole correspond to each other. Such a setting can enable the moving rod 13 to move inside the first through-hole 5, the second through-hole, and the third through-hole.

[0038] Among them, the initial position of the moving rod 13 is inside the second through-hole, that is, the moving rod 13 is located inside the semi-circular protective cover 4. Such a setting seals the second through-hole through the moving rod 13 to prevent water from entering the protective housing 2.

[0039] It should be noted that: Sealing gaskets (not marked in the figure) are provided at the joints of each component. For example, sealing gaskets are provided at the parts where the first through hole 5, the second through hole, the third through hole, the movable hole, etc. move, which can prevent water from entering and achieve a sealing effect.

[0040] A buffer layer is provided on the outer side of the protective housing 2, and the buffer layer can reduce the impact from the outside and further improve the anti-collision performance of the entire device.

[0041] One end of the moving rod 13 penetrates through the second hollow housing 15 and is connected to the sliding plate 16. Such a setting enables the moving rod 13 to drive the sliding plate 16 to move.

[0042] Vent holes 20 communicating with the airbag balls 14 are provided on the sliding plate 16 and the moving rod 13. When the sliding plate 16 moves, the gas inside is driven into the vent holes 20, and then the airbag balls 14 expand, so as to further improve the anti-collision performance when contacting an object.

[0043] The power assembly includes a cylindrical housing 21 connected to the bracket 3. A spiral blade 22 driven by a waterproof motor (not marked in the figure) is provided inside the cylindrical housing 21. The spiral blade 22 is driven to rotate by the waterproof motor, so that the booster body 1 moves in the water.

[0044] A controller is provided inside the protective housing 2. The controller is electrically connected to the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 and the waterproof motor. The connection circuit and operating principle between the controller and the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 and the waterproof motor both belong to the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0045] The gear 19 is provided with two support plates at the bottom of the first hollow housing 11. The gear 19 is rotatably provided between the two support plates, which can limit the position of the gear 19 and enable it to work at the same time.

[0046] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the booster body 1 works to facilitate people's use. When the booster body 1 is working and encounters an obstacle, the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 works first to avoid the obstacle, thus achieving the effect of anti-collision. If the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 fails to work or in extreme cases when a collision must occur, the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 first disengages from the object, and then the obstacle avoidance sensor 7 drives the movable rod 6 to move inside the movable hole, thereby driving the octagonal moving block 8 to move inside the housing. The first meshing tooth 9 on the octagonal moving block 8 drives the gear 19 to rotate, and the gear 19 drives the second meshing tooth 18 to move the second hollow housing 15 inside the first hollow housing 11, so that the moving rod 13 extends from the second through-hole and the first through-hole 5, and thus the moving rod 13 moves to the outside to contact the object. When contacting the object to be collided, the moving rod 13 drives the sliding plate 16 to move inside the second hollow housing 15. When the sliding plate 16 moves, it compresses the second spring 17, so that the impact force of the collision is evenly distributed, effectively reducing the damage caused by the collision. This ingenious structural design can ensure the normal operation of the booster while minimizing the damage caused by the collision, improving the safety and reliability of the underwater booster.

[0047] The above are only the preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of this utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of this utility model. The structures, devices, and operation methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specifically stated and limited, are implemented according to the conventional means in this field.
