Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water area measurement, in particular to a rapid installation device for a depth and current measuring probe used in an unmanned vessel. Background Art

[0002] The depth and current measuring probes on unmanned vessels are key components for water surface surveying. Based on the principle of sound wave reflection, the depth measuring probe transmits sound wave pulses to the water bottom. After receiving the reflected wave, it calculates the depth based on the sound wave's propagation time and the fixed propagation speed in water. These probes are highly accurate, adaptable to multiple environments, and transmit data in real time. Current measuring probes often utilize the acoustic Doppler effect, analyzing the Doppler frequency shift produced by scatterers to infer water flow conditions. They provide multi-dimensional, large-scale, and non-contact measurement.

[0003] During installation, the sensor must be securely fixed to a stable, undisturbed area on the bottom of the unmanned vessel. Calibration parameters are required before use, and routine maintenance and cleaning are essential. Future development trends include integration with other sensors to capture multi-dimensional water area information during a single voyage; increased self-intelligence, adaptive adjustments, and fault feedback; and advancements towards miniaturization and high precision, expanding its application and supporting more water-related work.

[0004] Existing unmanned vessel depth and current measuring probes are mostly fixed directly to the bottom of the unmanned vessel when in use. When a fault occurs, the staff cannot directly disassemble and assemble the probes, making it inconvenient for the staff to replace and repair them, and inconvenient for the staff to use them.

[0030] Furthermore: the staff only needs to pull the left and right side pull rods 1302 outward and then insert the mounting plate 1101 into the sleeve 1102 to release the limit on the pull rod 1302 to complete the installation of the probe 4. The slide 1202 will drive the card rod 1204 to move inward under the action of the compression spring 1203 to complete the locking of the mounting plate 1101 and the sleeve 1102, so that the staff can quickly complete the disassembly and assembly of the probe 4, which is convenient for the staff to replace or repair the faulty probe 4.
