It is installed on an underwater platform or an underwater instrument and equipment mounting rack, with a counterweight connected to its lower part. When it receives the release command from the surface deck unit underwater, it performs the unhooking action, releases the counterweight, and then the entire platform or instrument equipment floats to the surface under the action of buoyancy, thereby realizing the recovery of underwater instruments or platforms and other systems.
[0003] For example, in the patent application with authorization announcement number CN216468386U and titled "An Acoustic Releaser", the acoustic releaser structure includes relatively parallel baffles provided on the bottom surface of the base, hooks are installed between the baffles through hook pins, and the hook pins are used for the rotation of the hooks; the top end of the hook contacts the sliding sleeve extending from the center hole.
[0004] Similar to the above application, the release mechanism of the mechanical acoustic releaser in the prior art mostly has two side plates forming a hook installation space, and then the hook is rotated and installed between the two side plates in conjunction with the rotating shaft, and the counterweight is released by rotating the hook to open. However, the hook installation space formed by the two side plates is an open structure. During actual use, the underwater environment is poor and it is easy for sand and gravel particles to be stuck between the two side plates under the action of surging water, thereby interfering with the rotation and opening stroke of the hook and affecting the stability of the release. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to overcome the problem in the prior art that the hook installation space composed of two side plates is an open structure. During actual use, the underwater environment is poor and it is easy for sand and gravel particles to be stuck between the two side plates under the action of surging water, thereby interfering with the rotation and opening stroke of the hook and affecting the stability of the release. A mechanical acoustic releaser is provided, which can completely block the peripheral openings of the two fixed side plates through the first lateral blocking plate and the second lateral blocking plate in cooperation with the fixed locking hook, thereby preventing sand and gravel particles in the water from entering between the high fixed side plates under the action of the water flow and interfering with the rotation adjustment of the fixed locking hook, thereby significantly improving the working stability of the release mechanism.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0009] A lock hook installation cavity is formed between the two fixed side plates, and a fixed lock hook is rotatably connected to the lock hook installation cavity by adjusting the rotating shaft. The fixed lock hook has two working states in its rotation stroke. In the first working state, the fixed lock hook closes the connecting opening, and in the second working state, the fixed lock hook opens the connecting opening.

When the bottom ends of the first and second lateral blocking plates are respectively fitted on both sides of the fixed locking hook, the first and second lateral blocking plates cooperate with the fixed locking hook to completely block the peripheral openings of the two fixed side plates, thereby preventing sand and gravel particles in the water from entering between the higher fixed side plates under the action of water flow, causing interference with the rotation adjustment of the fixed locking hook, and significantly improving the reliability of the release mechanism.

Specifically, when adjusting the fixed lock hook, the drive motor cooperates with the coupling to drive the adjustment sleeve to rotate and adjust.

At this time, the cross bar at the bottom end of the adjustment screw cooperates with the adjustment slot to drive the fixed lock hook to rotate and adjust along the adjustment shaft to achieve opening of the fixed lock hook.
[0013] Preferably, a transducer is mounted on the top of the acoustic release body, and a battery pack and a controller are mounted inside the acoustic release body. The battery pack is electrically connected to the transducer, the controller, and the drive motor. The output end of the transducer is electrically connected to the controller, and the output end of the controller is electrically connected to the drive motor. During use, the battery pack is used to provide operating power for the transducer, the controller, and the drive motor.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the mechanical acoustic releaser is connected to the first lateral blocking plate and the second lateral blocking plate through the rotating shaft on the openings on both sides of the two fixed side plates. When the fixed lock hook is locked again, the bottom ends of the first lateral blocking plate and the second lateral blocking plate are respectively attached to the two sides of the fixed lock hook.
