[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sounding tube retrievers, and in particular to a ship-based sounding tube retriever. Background Art
[0002] During daily navigation, crew members must frequently measure and record the liquid levels of various oil and water tanks. However, during level measurement, the sounding gauge is sometimes cut off by the sounding shutoff device of the sounding pipe. The cut-off sounding gauge and its weight will fall into the sounding pipe. The sounding pipe is generally a slender pipe with a length of more than two meters and an inner diameter of less than 10 cm. The bottom of the sounding pipe is usually blocked, and the fallen sounding gauge or other objects cannot be removed, which seriously affects the accuracy of the subsequent tank level measurement.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a kind of marine sounding tube retriever to solve the above problems.
[0004] It should be noted that the above information disclosed in this Background section is only for understanding the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, it may contain information that does not constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on the above problems existing in the prior art, the problem to be solved by the present application is: to provide a ship-used sounding tube retriever, which can facilitate the removal of objects from the sounding tube.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the technical problem is: a ship-used sounding tube retriever, comprising a curved tube,
[0007] a lower hollow tube connected to the lower end of the curved tube;
[0008] an upper hollow tube connected to the upper end of the curved tube;
[0009] A steel wire rope is arranged inside the bending tube, one end of the steel wire rope is provided with a connecting block, and the lower end of the connecting block is provided with a grip;
[0010] a thrust rod connected to the other end of the steel wire rope;
[0011] Wherein, a load-bearing handle is provided on the top of the upper hollow tube, the thrust rod movably passes through the load-bearing handle and is connected to a thrust plate, and an elastic member is provided between the load-bearing handle and the thrust plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the bending tube is a component made of elastic steel sheet, and a rubber protective layer is provided on the outer surface of the bending tube.
[0013] Furthermore, the gripper is composed of four claws made of tempered material and has a certain degree of elasticity.
[0014] Furthermore, the thrust piece is circular.
[0015] Furthermore, the elastic member is a spring.
[0016] Furthermore, a connecting wire tube is provided at one end of the bending tube, the outer side of the connecting wire tube is threadedly connected to a locking nut, and the interior of the lower hollow tube is provided with an internal thread that is compatible with the connecting wire tube.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the present application provides a ship-based sounding tube retriever, which aims a gripper at an object dropped into the sounding tube and inserts it into the sounding tube, then squeezes the thrust plate and the load-bearing handle to move the gripper downward and open, and then releases the squeezed thrust plate and the load-bearing handle, so that the elastic part rebounds to cause the gripper to contract and complete the grabbing action of the object, and then the object can be pulled out of the sounding tube, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the removal of the object from the sounding tube and preventing the object from being retained in the sounding tube and causing inaccurate tank liquid measurement in the later stage. Secondly, the bent tube can be coiled up after use to reduce the occupied space.

[0028] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention 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, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present application provides a sounding tube retriever for ships, comprising a bending tube 1 and a lower hollow tube 2 provided at the lower end of the bending tube 1 and an upper hollow tube 3 provided at the upper end of the bending tube 1. The bending tube 1 is made of elastic steel sheet and has a rubber protective layer on the outer surface. The bending tube 1 can be bent at any angle and is in a vertical state when an external force is applied. A steel wire rope 41 is provided inside the bending tube 1, and a connecting block 42 is provided at the lower end of the steel wire rope 41. A gripper 43 is connected to the lower end of the connecting block 42. The gripper 43 consists of four claws made of tempered material and has A certain elasticity is provided, and at the same time, the length of one pair of the two vertical pairs of claws is shorter than the thickness of the other pair of claws by one gripper. This design facilitates the staggered closure of the two pairs of grippers. The upper end of the wire rope 41 is connected to a thrust rod 4, and a load-bearing handle 31 is provided on the top of the upper hollow tube 3. The thrust rod 4 slides through the load-bearing handle 31, and a thrust plate 44 is provided on the top of the thrust rod 4. The thrust plate 44 is circular and is used to push the thrust rod 4 and the wire rope 41 to move. An elastic member 32 is provided between the load-bearing handle 31 and the thrust plate 44, and the elastic member 32 is preferably a spring.
[0031] In this embodiment, first, the gripper 43 is aligned with the object dropped into the probe tube and inserted into the probe tube. Then, the palm of one hand is placed on the thrust piece 44, and the index finger and middle finger hold the load-bearing handle 31. Then, the thrust piece 44 and the load-bearing handle 31 are squeezed to squeeze the elastic member 32. At the same time, the load-bearing handle 31 drives the thrust rod 4 to drive the wire rope 41 to move downward inside the bending tube 1. The wire rope 41 drives the connecting block 42 and the gripper 43 to move downward, so that the gripper 43 extends from the lower hollow tube 2. At this time, the gripper 43 is opened, and the four claws of the gripper 43 are aligned with the object to be grasped. The object is taken, and then the squeezed thrust piece 44 and the load-bearing handle 31 are released. Under the rebound of the elastic member 32, the thrust piece 44 drives the thrust rod 4 to reset. When resetting, the thrust rod 4 and the wire rope 41 are driven to reset, so that the connecting block 42 drives the gripper 43 to move into the lower hollow tube 2, so that the gripper 43 is squeezed by the lower hollow tube 2 and contracts, thereby completing the grabbing action of the object. At this time, it is pulled out of the probe tube as a whole, and then the thrust piece 44 and the load-bearing handle 31 are squeezed again, and the gripper 43 releases the object, completing the release action.
[0032] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, a connecting wire tube 11 is provided at the lower end of the bending tube 1, an internal thread is opened inside the lower hollow tube 2, the connecting wire tube 11 is connected to the internal thread of the lower hollow tube 2, and a locking nut 12 is connected to the outer thread of the connecting wire tube 11.
[0033] In this embodiment, while keeping the bending tube 1 in a vertical state, the internal thread of the lower hollow tube 2 is connected to the connecting wire tube 11, and the two are adjusted to a suitable position for use, and then the locking nut 12 is rotated so that one side thereof conflicts with the top of the lower hollow tube 2. At this time, the connection between the bending tube 1 and the lower hollow tube 2 is fixed, and the object in the detection tube can be taken out. When the overall operation is completed, the locking nut 12 is unscrewed and the locking nut 12 is sleeved on the outside of the bending tube 1. Then the lower hollow tube 2 can be twisted so that the connecting wire tube 11 is screwed into the interior of the lower hollow tube 2 as a whole, so that the overall length of the bending tube 1 and the lower hollow tube 2 is shortened (such as Figure 5 As shown), the bent pipe 1 can be coiled into a spiral and bundled for storage to reduce space occupancy.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
