Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mooring platforms, in particular to a mooring platform for marine biochemical sensors. Background Art

[0002] The 21st century is the century of the ocean. In-situ observation of oceanic elements has far-reaching significance for many aspects such as oceanographic research, ocean engineering construction, and maritime national defense security. For example, the recent drastic climate changes are precisely the result of the combined action of the atmosphere and the ocean, and are greatly affected by the ocean because the heat stored in the ocean surface is 1000 times more than that in the atmosphere. The amount of heat stored in the ocean is affected by conditions such as ocean currents and salinity. By measuring salinity, researchers can clarify the changes in ocean currents and rainfall over the ocean, and thus study its impact on the climate. Another example is that using the data provided by self-supporting floats, ocean weather maps can be drawn and used in computer weather prediction models to predict seasonal weather phenomena such as El Niño. Therefore, the measurement of oceanic elements such as temperature, conductivity, and ocean currents has extraordinary significance. Compared with the rapid changes in the atmosphere, the changes in the ocean are much slower. Since the changes in oceanic elements over time and space are relatively slow, in order to study a certain phenomenon, it is often necessary to conduct continuous in-situ observations (possibly for several years) on a fixed vertical profile or multiple horizontal profiles. Oceanic observations rely on observation platforms and sensors. Compared with purely technical sensors, continuous observations rely more on reliable observation platforms that can be provided.

[0003] However, in existing platforms, components such as sensors are fixedly installed through conventional screws and nuts. Since the platform is located in the sea for a long time and seawater has strong corrosiveness, it will corrode the screws and nuts. In the light case, the surface of the screws and nuts will be corroded, making subsequent disassembly difficult. In the severe case, the screws will become brittle and finally break, resulting in losses. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the utility model provides a mooring platform for marine biochemical sensors to solve problems such as the corrosion of screws and nuts by seawater.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its problems is as follows:

[0006] A mooring platform for marine biochemical sensors includes a mounting frame. A hoop fixing mechanism for mounting components is fixedly installed on the mounting frame. The hoop fixing mechanism is fixedly installed on the mounting frame through a locking mechanism, and the hoop fixing mechanism tightly locks the components through the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a screw, a nut, and a rear nut. The screw is threadedly connected to the nut, and the connection end of the screw and the nut extends outward and is threadedly connected to the rear nut. A rear sealing plate for surrounding the nut is provided on the rear nut.

[0007] Through the above solution, by using the combination of the hoop fixing mechanism and the locking mechanism (screw, nut, rear nut), it is possible to ensure that various components (such as sensors, etc.) installed on the platform are firmly fixed, which helps to improve the stability of the entire system when facing wave impacts or seabed currents, reducing the risk of inaccurate data collection or equipment damage caused by loosening. The rear sealing plate is used to surround the nut, which can effectively prevent seawater from directly contacting the threaded part, thereby reducing the corrosion risk and significantly extending its service life.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of mounting plates for connecting with the hoop fixing mechanism are provided on the mounting frame, and a number of first mounting holes are provided on the mounting plates.

[0009] Through the above further solution, the preset first mounting holes make on-site assembly simpler and faster, and facilitate the on-site adjustment of the positions of the components.

[0010] Furthermore, the hoop fixing mechanism includes a hoop base and a hoop ring. One end of the hoop base is provided with a mounting seat, and the other end is provided with a snap ring. Second mounting holes are provided at both ends of the mounting seat. First connecting ears are provided at both ends of the snap ring, and first connecting holes are provided on the first connecting ears. Second connecting ears are provided at both ends of the hoop ring, and second connecting holes are provided on the second connecting ears.

[0011] Through the above further solution, the cooperation of the snap ring and the hoop ring can install and fix the components faster and more conveniently, making the components more stable.

[0012] Furthermore, the screw passes through the second mounting hole and the first mounting hole and is threadedly connected to the nut and the rear nut in sequence. The screw passes through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole and is threadedly connected to the nut and the rear nut in sequence.

[0013] Through the above further solution, by using the combination of the screw, nut and rear nut, a strong clamping force can be provided to ensure that devices such as sensors are firmly fixed on the mounting frame. And the rear sealing plate surrounds the nut, which can effectively prevent seawater from directly contacting the threaded part, thereby reducing the corrosion risk and significantly extending its service life.

[0014] Furthermore, gasket rings are provided on the inner circles of the hoop ring and the snap ring.

[0015] Through the above further solution, the gasket ring can effectively prevent the metal hoop ring or snap ring from directly contacting the surface of the sensor or other sensitive devices, thereby avoiding scratches or indentations, protecting the devices from damage. The gasket ring can provide additional friction to help better fix the devices, contributing to reducing loosening caused by vibration or water flow, and ensuring that devices such as sensors maintain a stable position during long-term use.

[0016] Further, the locking mechanism further includes a front nut, a front sealing plate is provided on the front nut, a screw rod is provided at the end-to-end connection of the screw and the nut, the screw rod is in threaded connection with the front nut, and the front sealing plate surrounds the end-to-end end of the connection between the screw rod and the nut.

[0017] Through the above further solution, the design of the front sealing plate can effectively cover the end-to-end connection end of the screw rod and the nut, forming a closed space to prevent seawater and other corrosive substances from directly contacting the metal components. This not only extends the service life of the fasteners but also protects the internal structure from damage. The designs of the front sealing plate and the rear sealing plate make the appearance after installation neater without exposed screws or nuts, improving the aesthetic degree of the entire platform.

[0018] Further, both the front sealing plate and the rear sealing plate are made of rubber.

[0019] Through the above further solution, rubber has good elasticity and sealing performance, enabling the ends of the front sealing plate and the rear sealing plate to closely fit with the mounting plate, mounting seat, first connecting ear or second connecting ear, forming an effective waterproof barrier. This helps prevent seawater and other corrosive substances from invading and protects the internal metal components from corrosion. Rubber itself has good corrosion resistance and is not easily eroded by the salts or other chemical substances in seawater. Using rubber sealing plates can further extend the service life of the fasteners and reduce the maintenance frequency.

[0020] Further, the depth of the front sealing plate is greater than the height of the end-to-end connection end of the screw rod and the nut, and the depth of the rear sealing plate is greater than the height of the nut.

[0021] Through the above further solution, since the depth of the sealing plate is greater than the heights of the screw rod and the nut, the rubber sealing plate can completely cover these metal components, forming an effective barrier that not only prevents seawater from directly contacting the metal surface but also blocks moisture and other corrosive substances from entering the interior, improving the waterproof and moisture-proof performance of the entire system.

[0022] Further, air outlets are provided on both the front sealing plate and the rear sealing plate, and sealing plugs are provided on the air outlets.

[0023] Through the above further solution, during the fastening process, the rubber sealing plate may generate a certain internal pressure due to being squeezed. By sucking out the internal gas through the air outlet, it can avoid seawater entering when the gas is discharged from the sealing plate due to excessive seawater pressure.

[0024] Lubricating oil can be added to the interior through the air outlet, which can not only ensure the integrity of the screw rod and the nut but also prevent seawater from entering its interior when the sealing plate is under greater pressure.

[0025] In summary, the marine biochemical sensor mooring platform provided by the present utility model has the following technical effects:

[0026] 1. By using the combination of the hoop fixing mechanism and the locking mechanism, it can ensure that various components installed on the platform are firmly fixed, which helps to improve the stability of the entire system in the face of wave impacts or seabed currents, and reduces the risk of inaccurate data collection or equipment damage caused by loosening.

[0027] 2. The rear sealing plate is used to surround the nut, which can effectively prevent seawater from directly contacting the threaded part, thereby reducing the corrosion risk and significantly extending its service life. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The preset first mounting holes 111 make the on-site assembly simpler and faster, and are convenient for adjusting the position of the component 2 on-site.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a plurality of hoop seats 31 are fixedly installed on the mounting plate 11. One end of the hoop seat 31 is provided with a mounting seat 311, and the other end is provided with a snap ring 312. Second mounting holes 311a are provided at both ends of the mounting seat 311. The hoop seat 31 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 11 by screwing a screw 411 through the second mounting hole 311a and the first mounting hole 111 and threading it with a nut 42. First connecting ears 312a are provided at both ends of the snap ring 312, and first connecting holes 312b are provided on the first connecting ears 312a. The snap ring 312 fixes the component 2 through a hoop 32. Second connecting ears 321 are provided at both ends of the hoop 32, and second connecting holes 321a are provided on the second connecting ears 321. The snap ring 312 and the hoop 32 are fixedly connected by screwing a screw 411 through the first connecting hole 312b and the second connecting hole 321a and threading it with a nut 42. The cooperation of the snap ring 312 and the hoop 32 can install and fix the component 2 faster and more conveniently, making the component 2 more stable.

[0039] ReferenceFigure 3 As shown, the screw 41 passes through the second mounting hole 311a and the first mounting hole 111 and is connected to the nut 42. The connecting end extends outward and is threadedly connected to the rear nut 43. The screw 41 passes through the first connecting hole 312b and the second connecting hole 321a and is connected to the nut 42. The connecting end extends outward and is threadedly connected to the rear nut 43. By using the combination of the screw 41, the nut 42 and the rear nut 43, a strong clamping force can be provided to ensure that devices such as sensors are firmly fixed on the mounting bracket 1. Moreover, the rear sealing plate 431 surrounds the nut 42, which can effectively prevent seawater from directly contacting the threaded part, thereby reducing the corrosion risk and significantly extending its service life.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 As shown, cushion rings 33 are provided on both the inner ring of the hoop 32 and the inner ring of the snap ring 312. The cushion ring 33 can effectively prevent the metal hoop 32 or the snap ring 312 from directly contacting the surface of the sensor or other sensitive devices, thereby avoiding scratches or indentations and protecting the devices from damage. The cushion ring 33 can provide additional friction to help better fix the devices, contribute to reducing loosening caused by vibration or water flow, and ensure that devices such as sensors maintain a stable position during long-term use.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 4 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 further includes a front nut 44. A front sealing plate 441 is provided on the front nut 44. A screw rod 411 is provided at the end-to-end connection between the screw 41 and the nut 42. The screw rod 411 is threadedly connected to the front nut 44. The front sealing plate 441 surrounds the end-to-end connection between the screw rod 411 and the nut 42. The design of the front sealing plate 441 can effectively cover the end-to-end connection between the screw rod 411 and the nut 42, forming a closed space to prevent seawater and other corrosive substances from directly contacting the metal part 2. This not only extends the service life of the fasteners but also protects the internal structure from damage. The designs of the front sealing plate 441 and the rear sealing plate 431 make the appearance after installation neater without exposed screws or nuts 42, improving the aesthetic degree of the entire platform.

[0042] Both the front sealing plate 441 and the rear sealing plate 431 are made of rubber. Rubber has good elasticity and sealing performance, enabling the ends of the front sealing plate 441 and the rear sealing plate 431 to closely fit with the mounting plate 11, the mounting seat 311, the first connecting ear 312a or the second connecting ear 321 to form an effective waterproof barrier. This helps prevent seawater and other corrosive substances from invading and protects the internal metal part 2 from corrosion. Rubber itself has good corrosion resistance and is not easily eroded by the salts or other chemical substances in seawater. Using rubber sealing plates can further extend the service life of the fasteners and reduce the maintenance frequency.

[0043] The depth of the front sealing disc 441 is greater than the height of the end-to-end connection end of the screw 411 and the nut 42. The depth of the rear sealing disc 431 is greater than the height of the nut 42. Since the depth of the sealing disc is greater than the heights of the screw 411 and the nut 42, the rubber sealing disc can completely cover these metal components 2, forming an effective barrier that not only prevents seawater from directly contacting the metal surface but also blocks moisture and other corrosive substances from entering the interior, improving the waterproof and moisture-proof performance of the entire system.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 4 As shown, air outlets 45 are provided on both the front sealing disc 441 and the rear sealing disc 431. A sealing plug 451 is provided on the air outlet 45. During the fastening process, the rubber sealing disc may generate a certain internal pressure due to being squeezed. The internal gas is sucked out through the air outlet 45, thereby avoiding seawater from entering when the gas is discharged from the sealing disc due to excessive seawater pressure.

[0045] In a further expansion of this embodiment, lubricating oil can be added to the interior through the air outlet 45, which can not only ensure the integrity of the screw 411 and the nut 42 but also prevent seawater from entering the interior when the sealing disc is under greater pressure.

[0046] In a further expansion of this embodiment, sealing edges 46 are provided at the ends of the front sealing disc 441 and the rear sealing disc 431, which can better ensure the sealing property inside the front sealing disc 441 and the rear sealing disc 431.
