Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of waterway depth measurement, in particular to a waterway depth measurement device. Background Art

[0002] Channel depth measuring devices are usually used to measure the water depth and topography of waterways or water areas within ports. These devices play a vital role in the planning, maintenance and safety of waterways.

[0003] Sonar is a common water depth measurement device. Existing sonar-mounted devices need to be used underwater, and there are a lot of impurities underwater. Therefore, after long-term use, a large amount of debris is easily adhered to the outside of the sonar. These debris not only affect the normal use of the sonar, but also corrode the sonar casing, affecting the service life of the sonar.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a waterway depth measuring device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a waterway depth measuring device.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the inner surface of the outer cylinder and the outer surface of the inner rod are in contact with each other.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the bristles are soft bristles.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. Automated cleaning process: Through the start and power-off control of the electromagnet, the inner rod, connecting rod and cleaning rod can realize the automated cleaning process. This can reduce manual intervention and improve the efficiency and consistency of cleaning.

[0015] 2. Precise cleaning position control: The inner rod can be accurately moved to the set position through the action of the electromagnet, thus ensuring that the cleaning rod can be accurately moved above the transmitting probe. This precise control ensures that each cleaning can achieve the desired effect.

[0016] 3. Effective dirt removal: The soft bristles on the cleaning rod can effectively remove dirt attached to the transmitting probe. The rotation of the blade drives the cleaning rod, so that the bristles can fully cover and clean the probe surface, ensuring that the dirt is completely removed.

[0017] 4. Safe and reliable reset mechanism: After cleaning, the inner rod, connecting rod and cleaning rod will automatically reset under the elastic force of the spring. This mechanism ensures that the device can automatically return to its initial state after each use, ready for the next use, while ensuring safe and reliable operation.

[0018] 5. Reduce manual operation time and costs: The automated cleaning process not only saves manual operation time, but also reduces long-term operating costs. The staff only needs to perform simple operations at the start and end, which greatly reduces the need for manual intervention and possible errors. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] In the figure: 1 sonar device, 2 transmitting probe, 31 sleeve, 32 collar, 33 blade, 41 outer tube, 42 inner rod, 43 electromagnet, 44 magnetic block, 45 spring, 51 connecting rod, 52 cleaning rod, 53 bristles. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-3 A waterway depth measuring device includes a sonar device 1, a transmitting probe 2 is provided on the sonar device 1, a rotating structure is provided on the sonar device 1, the rotating structure includes a sleeve 31, two rings 32 and a plurality of blades 33, the sleeve 31 is fixedly mounted on the sonar device 1, the two rings 32 are rotatably mounted on the sleeve 31, and the plurality of blades 33 are fixed between the two rings 32, and the sonar device 1 is provided with a connecting structure, the connecting structure includes an outer tube 41, an inner rod 42, an electromagnet 43, a magnetic block 44 and a spring 45, one end of the outer tube 41 is fixedly connected to one of the blades 33, and the inner rod 42 slides The sonar device 1 is provided with a cleaning structure, which includes a connecting rod 51, a cleaning rod 52 and a plurality of bristles 53. One end of the connecting rod 51 is fixedly connected to the inner rod 42, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cleaning rod 52. The bristles 53 are all bonded to the cleaning rod 52, and the bristles 53 are soft bristles.

[0025] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] When the waterway depth measuring device proposed by the present invention is in use, under normal conditions, the electromagnet 43 is in a power-off state. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring 45, most of the inner rod 42 is located outside the outer tube 41. At this time, the cleaning rod 52 is staggered with the transmitting probe 2, and the cleaning rod 52 does not block the transmitting probe 2, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the sonar device 1. When the hull is sailing in the waterway, the flow of water can drive the plurality of blades 33 to rotate, which causes the two rings 31 to rotate accordingly, and the outer tube 41 will also rotate accordingly. When the outer tube 41 rotates, it can drive the inner rod 41, the connecting rod 51 and the cleaning rod 52 to rotate;

[0027] When it is necessary to clean the dirt attached to the surface of the transmitting probe 2, the staff starts the electromagnet 43 and energizes the electromagnet 43. When the electromagnet 43 is energized, it can generate magnetism and attract the magnetic block 44, so that the inner rod 42 is retracted into the outer cylinder 41. When the inner rod 42 moves, it can drive the cleaning rod 52 to move through the connecting rod 51 until the cleaning rod 52 moves to the top of the transmitting probe 2. In this case, when the cleaning rod 52 rotates with the blades 33, the soft bristles 53 on the cleaning rod 52 can brush out the dirt attached to the transmitting probe 2, thereby automatically cleaning the transmitting probe 2. After cleaning, the staff deenergizes the electromagnet 43, and the inner rod 42, the connecting rod 51 and the cleaning rod 52 are reset under the elastic force of the spring 45.

[0028] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
