Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sound velocity profilers, in particular to a support frame for a sound velocity profiler. Background Art

[0002] A sound velocity profiler is a precision instrument used to measure the sound velocity distribution of seawater in marine environments. It typically incorporates a digital time-of-flight sound velocity sensor, a temperature sensor, and a pressure sensor. These sensors provide precise data on seawater velocity, temperature, and pressure. This data is crucial for ocean acoustic exploration, seafloor topography mapping, and marine environmental monitoring.

[0003] When the sound velocity profiler is used to detect the marine environment, it needs to be lowered to the deep seabed for use. However, if the sound velocity profiler is directly lowered to the deep seabed, it is easy to attract the attention of fish during the lowering process, causing the sound velocity profiler to be hit, thereby causing damage to the sound velocity profiler. At the same time, the sound velocity profiler will be unstable due to the impact of fish or the flow of seawater, thereby affecting the detection of the marine environment.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, we propose a support frame for a sound velocity profiler to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problems in the background technology, the utility model provides a support frame for a sound velocity profiler.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0007] A support frame for a sound velocity profiler includes a sound velocity profiler body and a mounting frame. The mounting frame is configured as a hollow frame structure, and the sound velocity profiler body is mounted in the middle portion of the inner side of the mounting frame. Counterweights are provided at both ends of the inner side of the mounting frame. Two sets of counterweights are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the mounting frame, and the two sets of counterweights are respectively arranged on both sides of the outer surface of the sound velocity profiler body. Clamping rings are connected to the side ends of the counterweights. The clamping rings are used to clamp and fix the sound velocity profiler body. With the added gravity of the two sets of counterweights, the mounting frame can be sunk to a deep ocean location for detection.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping surfaces of the counterweight and the clamping ring are both semicircular. When the clamping ring and the counterweight are closed and connected, the two semicircles merge into one circle, thereby clamping and fixing the sound velocity profiler body so that it is stably installed in the mounting frame.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping ring and the counterweight are connected and fixed by two sets of fixing screws.

[0010] Preferably, a lifting ring is provided at the middle of the top of the mounting frame, and the mounting frame and the lifting ring are connected and fixed by four groups of connecting rods, the four groups of connecting rods are in a quadrangular pyramid structure, and the lifting ring is fixedly installed on the top of the quadrangular pyramid structure.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping surfaces of the counterweight block and the clamping ring are both provided with anti-slip pads.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] In this solution, a mounting frame is provided, two sets of counterweights are installed in the mounting frame, and clamping rings are provided at the side ends of the counterweights. The sound velocity profiler body can be fixedly mounted in the mounting frame through the counterweights and the clamping rings. When the sound velocity profiler body is lowered to the deep seabed for use, the mounting frame plays a protective role, preventing large fish from directly impacting and damaging the sound velocity profiler body. At the same time, the two sets of counterweights can play a role of increasing counterweight, thereby increasing the weight of the mounting frame, thereby realizing the lowering of the sound velocity profiler body to the deep seabed for detection. In addition, the gravity exerted by the two sets of counterweights can also alleviate the fluctuations of the sound velocity profiler body caused by the flow of seawater, thereby enhancing the stability and accuracy of the sound velocity profiler body during detection work in seawater.

[0018] The embodiment of the present application provides a support frame for a sound velocity profiler. Specifically, two sets of counterweights 5 are installed in a mounting frame 1. Clamping rings 6 are provided at the side ends of the counterweights 5. The counterweights 5 and the clamping rings 6 enable the sound velocity profiler body 4 to be fixedly mounted in the mounting frame 1 for use.

[0019] At the same time, the two sets of counterweights 5 can increase the weight of the mounting frame 1 and play the role of adding counterweight, thereby realizing the lowering of the sound velocity profiler body 4 to the deep seabed for detection. In addition, the gravity applied by the two sets of counterweights 5 can also alleviate the fluctuation of the sound velocity profiler body 4 caused by the flow of seawater, thereby effectively enhancing the stability and accuracy of the sound velocity profiler body 4 during detection work in seawater.

[0020] Example: Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, a support frame for a sound velocity profiler of this embodiment includes a sound velocity profiler body 4 and a mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 is configured as a hollow frame structure, and the sound velocity profiler body 4 is mounted in the inner middle portion of the mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 with a hollow frame structure facilitates the flow of seawater, thereby providing convenience for the detection work of the sound velocity profiler body 4.

[0021] Counterweights 5 are provided at both ends of the inner side of the mounting frame 1. Two sets of counterweights 5 are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. The two sets of counterweights 5 are respectively arranged on both sides of the outer surface of the sound velocity profiler body 4. The side ends of the counterweights 5 are connected to clamping rings 6, which are used to clamp and fix the sound velocity profiler body 4.

[0022] The counterweight 5 serves to increase the weight so that the sound velocity profiler body 4 can be lowered to a deep position on the seabed for operation. The sound velocity profiler body 4 is clamped and fixed by the clamping ring 6, so that the sound velocity profiler body 4 is installed and fixed in the middle of the inner side of the mounting frame 1, so that the counterweight 5 serves to increase the counterweight of the sound velocity profiler body 4.

[0023] The clamping surfaces of the counterweight 5 and the clamping ring 6 are both semicircular. When the clamping ring 6 and the counterweight 5 are closed and connected, the two semicircles merge into one circle, thereby clamping and fixing the sound velocity profiler body 4.

[0024] The clamping ring 6 and the counterweight 5 are connected and fixed by two sets of fixing screws 7, which makes it convenient for workers to install or disassemble the clamping ring 6.

[0025] A lifting ring 2 is provided at the middle of the top of the mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 and the lifting ring 2 are connected and fixed by four groups of connecting rods 3. The four groups of connecting rods 3 are in a quadrangular pyramid structure. The lifting ring 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the quadrangular pyramid structure.

[0026] Among them, the lifting ring 2 is used to connect the pull rope. When the sound velocity profiler body 4 needs to be used for detection, the pull rope is lowered, and under the action of the mounting frame 1 and the two sets of counterweights 5, the sound velocity profiler body 4 is driven to descend to the deep seabed for detection. When the detection work is completed, the pull rope is pulled back to pull the sound velocity profiler body 4 back to the ship or the sea surface for recovery.

[0027] In some examples, the clamping surfaces of the counterweight 5 and the clamping ring 6 are both provided with anti-slip pads, which play an anti-slip and protective role, avoiding scratches on the outer surface of the sound velocity profiler body 4 when the outer surface of the sound velocity profiler body 4 is clamped and fixed.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0029] The present invention increases the weight of the mounting frame 1 by installing two sets of counterweights 5 in the mounting frame 1, thereby achieving the goal of lowering the sound velocity profiler body 4 to the deep seabed. In addition, the gravity exerted by the two sets of counterweights 5 can improve the stability of the sound velocity profiler body 4 in seawater and alleviate the fluctuation of the sound velocity profiler body 4 caused by the flow of seawater.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention.
