[0003] Traditional ship draft detection mainly relies on staff to observe by the naked eye. Although this method is simple and intuitive, it has obvious limitations. The ship draft on the side close to the shore is easy to be accurately observed due to the good viewing angle; however, the draft on the other side is difficult to observe due to problems such as angle and line of sight occlusion, and errors are likely to occur. This not only affects the measurement accuracy but also may pose a safety hazard. In addition, the method of observing by the naked eye also has problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency. The detection personnel need to work under various weather conditions, and the same observation steps need to be repeated for each voyage, consuming a lot of time and manpower. At the same time, due to the influence of human factors, the consistency and reliability of the detection results are also difficult to guarantee. Therefore, we propose a ship draft detection device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0025] This application provides a ship draft detection device, which is mainly used to solve the problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency existing in the prior art's naked-eye observation method. Detection personnel need to work under various weather conditions, and the same observation steps need to be repeated for each voyage, consuming a large amount of time and manpower. At the same time, due to the influence of human factors, the consistency and reliability of the detection results are also difficult to guarantee. The following technical solutions are provided and will be described in detail below in combination with Figures 1 - 4 make a detailed description:

[0026] A ship draft detection device includes:

[0027] A mounting box 1 is arranged on the ship's side of the ship, and strip-shaped through holes are formed on both sides of the bottom of the mounting box 1;

[0028] A detection mechanism 2 is used to observe the ship draft. The detection mechanism 2 includes a winding wheel 201, which is rotatably connected to the middle of the top of the mounting box 1 through a rotating shaft. A towing rope 202 is wound in the wheel groove of the winding wheel 201. The free end of the towing rope 202 is connected with a counterweight lead hammer 203. An installation disc 204 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the towing rope 202. A mounting frame 205 is fixedly arranged on the top side of the mounting disc 204. High-definition cameras 206 are arranged in an annular array on the outer side of the mounting frame 205. A floating bladder 207 is fixedly arranged on the bottom side of the mounting disc 204;

[0029] A locking member 3 is arranged on the winding wheel 201, and the locking member 3 is used to prevent the winding wheel 201 from rotating;

[0030] A clamping mechanism 4 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting box 1, and the clamping mechanism 4 is used to fix the mounting box 1 on the ship's side.

[0031] Description of the working process

[0032] First step, place the installation box 1 on the ship's side and ensure the stability of the installation box 1 through the clamping mechanism 4;

[0033] Second step, release the counterweight plumb bob 203 to let it freely fall into the water. At this time, the towing rope 202 will form a vertical guiding path on the side of the ship;

[0034] Third step, release the installation disk 204. Under the action of the floating bladder 207, the installation disk 204 floats on the water surface. The high-definition camera 206 installed on the installation disk 204 captures the image of the ship's water gauge. In order to prevent the installation disk 204 from shifting, after the counterweight plumb bob 203 falls into the water, the locking member 3 needs to be used to prevent the winding wheel 201 from rotating, so that the towing rope 202 is in a vertical state;

[0035] Fourth step, recover the towing rope 202, recover the high-definition camera 206, and observe the ship's water gauge through the image collected by the high-definition camera 206, and then calculate the draft depth of the ship.

[0036] For this ship water gauge detection device, the counterweight plumb bob 203 is used to make the towing rope 202 form a vertical guiding path on the side of the ship. Under the action of the annular floating bladder 207, the installation disk 204 floats on the water surface. The camera installed on the installation disk 204 captures the image of the ship's water gauge. The high-definition camera 206 is used to replace the naked-eye observation, reducing the human error, improving the measurement accuracy, and can quickly complete the detection process, saving time and labor costs. At the same time, the structure is simple, which is convenient for daily maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments, the locking member 3 includes an extension plate 301 fixedly arranged on the bottom side of the winding wheel 201. A limiting rod 302 is threadedly connected to the side of the extension plate 301 away from the winding wheel 201. A limiting hole 101 is annularly arranged on the top surface of the installation box 1 on the side of the winding wheel 201. The limiting hole 101 is adapted to the limiting rod 302. More specifically, when it is necessary to lock the winding wheel 201, align the limiting rod 302 with the corresponding limiting hole 101 and rotate it to insert the limiting rod 302 into the limiting hole 101, thereby preventing the winding wheel 201 from rotating. When unlocking, rotate the limiting rod 302 in the reverse direction to make it withdraw from the limiting hole 101, and the winding wheel 201 can rotate freely.

[0038] As Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the clamping mechanism 4 includes a rotating rod 401 rotatably connected between the inner side walls of the installation box 1. Threads with opposite spiral directions are formed on both sides of the rotating rod 401, and sliders 402 are symmetrically threadedly connected. The bottom surface of the slider 402 is slidably connected to the inner bottom wall of the installation box 1. One side of the slider 402 is fixedly provided with an L-shaped plate 403, and the L-shaped plate 403 slidably penetrates through the strip-shaped through hole. More specifically, when it is necessary to fix the arc of the installation box 1, by rotating the rotating rod 401, since the thread directions on both sides of the rotating rod 401 are opposite, the two sliders 402 will approach each other, and the L-shaped plate 403 can clamp the ship's side from both sides of the ship. When it is necessary to disassemble the installation box 1, the rotating rod 401 can be rotated in the opposite direction. At this time, the two sliders 402 will move away from each other, and the distance between the L-shaped plates 403 increases, and the staff can take down the installation box 1.

[0039] As Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, a contact pad is provided on the inner side surface of the bottom of the L-shaped plate 403, and the contact pad is an elastic rubber pad. More specifically, during the process of fixing the installation box 1, since the ship's side is an irregular object, the contact pad contacts the ship's side and generates a certain pressure. Due to its elastic characteristics, it can adapt to the irregular shape of the ship's side surface and ensure that the device is firmly fixed on the ship's side.

[0040] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, an angle frame 208 is fixedly provided above one side of the installation box 1. A guide wheel 209 is rotatably connected to the inside of the angle frame 208 through a rotating shaft, and the towing rope 202 slidably penetrates through the groove of the guide wheel 209. More specifically, the design of the guide wheel 209 can effectively guide and protect the towing rope 202, avoid the displacement of the towing rope 202, and always slide on the correct path, improving the accuracy of observation.

[0041] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the high-definition camera 206 is a waterproof camera, and the number thereof is greater than or equal to three. More specifically, the high-definition camera 206 is a waterproof camera, and the number thereof is greater than or equal to three. These cameras are installed on the installation disk 204 and can capture the ship's draft images at different angles and positions. The cameras have a waterproof function, which can extend the service life of the device.

[0042] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, a sleeve 2051 is fixedly provided on the outside of the installation frame 205, and the high-definition camera 206 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 2051. More specifically, the threaded connection can facilitate the staff to install and disassemble the high-definition camera 206 and improve the practicability of the device.

[0043] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present utility model. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
