Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a travelling ADCP installation device suitable for an assault boat. Background Art

[0002] ADCP, short for Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, is an instrument widely used in hydrological surveys. Based on the Doppler principle, echo detection technology, and acoustic signal processing techniques, ADCP measures the distribution of current velocity vectors along the acoustic path. A traveling ADCP is mounted on a hydrographic survey vessel or small floating body and traverses the water surface to measure cross-sections and current velocity distribution.

[0003] According to flow measurement regulations, when installing the ADCP, ensure that the vessel's hull does not obstruct the transducer's transmission and reception of acoustic signals. The transducer must be perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, with an inclination angle of no more than 5°. Horizontally, the directional arrow on the instrument's transducer must be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ferry vessel. Furthermore, the mounting bracket must be structurally stable, rust-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and impact-resistant, and must not tilt or shake due to current impact or vessel movement.

[0004] In actual survey work, there are many places that are inaccessible to hydrographic survey vessels, requiring the use of assault boats equipped with underway ADCPs for measurement. Some difficult-to-reach terrains also require manpower to constantly lift the assault boat and frequently load and unload the ADCP, which reduces work efficiency and poses certain safety hazards. Therefore, it is necessary to invent an ADCP mounting bracket suitable for assault boats to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a walking ADCP installation device suitable for assault boats, which is used to solve the problem that in difficult-to-reach terrain, manpower is still needed to continuously lift the assault boat and frequently load and unload the ADCP, which reduces work efficiency and also creates certain safety hazards.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution of the utility model is:

[0007] A walking ADCP mounting device suitable for an assault boat includes a horizontal tube fixedly connected to the assault boat, one end of the horizontal tube fixedly connected to a vertical tube via a cross fastener, a support plate fixedly connected to the lower end of the vertical tube, connecting plates hinged at both ends of the support plate, the lower end of the connecting plate fixedly connected to an arc-shaped cover, and two arc-shaped covers detachably connected by multiple screws. The two arc-shaped covers are used to place the ADCP.

[0008] Two arc-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the transverse pipe.

[0009] One end of the curved plate is provided with a hook, which is connected to the assault boat lifting handle through a rope.

[0010] A limit plate is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal pipe close to the vertical pipe.

[0011] Rubber pads are provided between the cross fasteners and the horizontal tubes and vertical tubes.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model include: using this device, an assault boat can safely and securely carry a walking ADCP for measurement. This makes the ADCP measurement more stable, preventing shaking that affects data accuracy, and is less susceptible to tilting due to water impact or the boat's movement. Furthermore, when encountering small river dams, shallows, and other terrain, the rope can be simply released and the entire device can be moved flexibly and easily. It has a wide range of applications. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0014] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the utility model.

[0015] In the figure: assault boat 1, transverse tube 2, curved plate 3, hook 4, support plate 5, limit plate 6, cross fastener 7, lifting handle 8, connecting plate 9, vertical tube 10, curved cover 11. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a walking ADCP installation device suitable for an assault boat includes a transverse tube 2 fixedly connected to the assault boat 1, one end of the transverse tube 2 is fixedly connected to the vertical tube 10 via a cross fastener 7, a support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the vertical tube 10, and connecting plates 9 are hinged at both ends of the support plate 5. The lower end of the connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the arc cover 11, and the two arc covers 11 are detachably connected by multiple screws. The two arc covers 11 can be opened and closed freely to facilitate the placement or removal of the ADCP. When in use, use a rope to fix the transverse tube 2 to the assault boat 1, and then place the ADCP between the two arc covers 11, and then use screws to fix the two arc covers 11 to fix the ADCP, and then connect the vertical tube 10 to the cross fastener 7, so as to complete the installation of the ADCP and the assault boat 1.

[0018] Two curved plates 3 are fixedly connected to the cross tube 2. One end of the curved plate 3 has a hook 4, which is connected to the lifting handle 8 of the assault boat 1 through a rope. The curved plate 3 limits the cross tube 2 to prevent the cross tube 2 from rotating and shaking during the movement of the assault boat 1.

[0019] A limit plate 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the transverse tube 2 near the vertical tube 10. The limit plate limits the cross fastener 7, which serves as a double insurance to ensure that the cross fastener 7 does not slide out of the transverse tube 2.

[0020] A rubber pad is provided between the cross fastener 7 and the transverse tube 2 and the vertical tube 10. The rubber pad can prevent the cross fastener 7 from sliding against the transverse tube 2 and the vertical tube 10.
