[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in any way.

[0023] In underwater operations and ocean exploration, thrusters are critical components for enhancing vehicle maneuverability and diver efficiency. Traditionally, thrusters are attached to vehicles using bolts. This method requires pre-set mounting locations on the vehicle. If the mounting locations are damaged or the pre-set mounting points are missing, the thruster cannot be installed. Furthermore, bolt-based installation methods are complex and time-consuming.

[0024] Based on this, an exemplary embodiment of the present application provides a new type of thruster fixing structure, which includes a fixing component, a connecting component and a strap component. The connecting component includes a first connecting member, a second connecting member and a connecting pin. The first connecting member is arranged on the fixing component and has a accommodating slot and a first connecting hole; the second connecting member is arranged on the thruster and has a connecting block and a second connecting hole; in this way, the connecting block is clamped in the accommodating slot, and the connecting pin passes through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole in turn. Through a simple clamping action combined with the action of the connecting pin, a quick and stable connection between the thruster and the carrier can be achieved. At the same time, the connection and disassembly process does not require the assistance of tools, which simplifies the operation process and shortens the connection and disassembly time.

[0025] An exemplary embodiment of the present application provides a new propeller fixing structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing structure includes a fixing component 100, a connecting component 200 and a strap component 300; the strap component 300 passes through the fixing component 100 and encloses an installation space, and a carrier, such as an aircraft or a diver's body, passes through the installation space and is fixed by the strap component 300; the connecting component 200 includes a first connecting member 201, a second connecting member 202 and a connecting pin 203; the first connecting member 201 is arranged on the fixing component 100 and has a receiving slot and a first connecting hole 2012; the second connecting member 202 is arranged on the propeller and has a connecting block 2021 and a second connecting hole 2022; the connecting block 2021 can be clamped in the receiving slot, and the connecting pin 203 passes through the first connecting hole 2012 and the second connecting hole 2022 in sequence to achieve quick connection between the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 202. In this way, through a simple snap-in action combined with the action of the connecting pin 203, a quick and stable connection between the thruster and the carrier can be achieved. At the same time, the connection and disassembly process does not require the assistance of tools, which simplifies the operation process and shortens the connection and disassembly time.

[0026] In the existing technology, common wearable thrusters mostly use a strap system to achieve integration with the human body. Although this method is relatively simple and quick, each set of straps can only support the installation of a single thruster. If the thrust is to be increased, more independent devices must be carried, which will have a great impact on the user. At the same time, the posture adjustment of the thruster relative to the user's body is limited, and the direction of the thruster cannot be adjusted according to specific needs.

[0027] In one embodiment, the fixing assembly 100 and the connecting assembly 200 may be multiple groups, and the strap assembly 300 may pass through the multiple groups of fixing assemblies 100 in sequence to achieve simultaneous fixing of multiple propellers. For example, the fixing structure may include two groups of fixing assemblies 100, and each group of fixing assemblies 100 is provided with a connecting assembly 200. In this way, two propellers can be connected simultaneously through one fixing structure to enhance the propulsion force. Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting member 201 includes four first connecting parts 2011, each of which is provided with a first connecting hole 2012 and a cross-shaped receiving slot is formed between the four first connecting parts 2011. Figure 4 As shown, the second connector 202 includes a second connecting portion and a cross-shaped connecting block 2021 disposed on the second connecting portion. The second connecting portion is provided with a mounting hole 2023 for connecting to the propeller. The dimensions of the cross-shaped connecting block 2021 are compatible with the dimensions of the cross-shaped mounting slot. By rotating the cross-shaped connecting block 2021, the direction between the propeller and the carrier can be adjusted to accommodate different operating conditions. Of course, the connecting block 2021 can also be shaped like a T.

[0028] In one embodiment, the first connector 201 also includes three first connecting portions 2011, each of which is provided with a first connecting hole 2012. Three receiving slots arranged at equal angles are formed between the three first connecting portions 2011. In this case, the shape of the connecting block 2021 matches the shape of the receiving slots. Of course, five or more receiving slots arranged at equal angles can be formed. In this case, the connecting block 2021 matches the shape of the receiving slots.

[0029] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the fixing assembly 100 includes a fixing base 102 and a flexible mounting portion 101; the flexible mounting portion 101 is preferably made of rubber or silicone, has an arc shape, and is provided with a mounting groove 1011 on the top surface; the fixing base 102 is provided in the mounting groove 1011. The fixing base 102 is provided with a through hole 1021 for the strap assembly 300 to pass through, and the strap assembly 300 passes through the through hole to connect with the fixing assembly 100. Figure 5 As shown, the connecting pin 203 includes a pin body 2031, a sliding control rod 2032, and a positioning block 2033; the pin body 2031 is provided with a positioning hole; the positioning block 2033 is provided at the end of the sliding control rod 2032; the sliding control rod 2032 is slidably provided in the pin body 2031, so that the positioning block 2033 passes through the positioning hole to prevent the connecting pin 203 from being separated from the first connecting hole 2012 or the second connecting hole 2022. Figure 6 As shown, the strap assembly 300 includes a strap body 301 and a connecting ring 302 ; both ends of the strap body 301 are movably connected to the connecting ring 302 , so that the size of the installation space can be adjusted.

[0030] When the carrier needs to be connected to the propeller, the connecting card block 2021 is clamped in the accommodating card slot, and the connecting pin 203 is used to pass through the first connecting hole 2012 and the second connecting hole 2022 in sequence, so that the positioning card block 2033 extends to the surface of the pin body 2031 to fix the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 202, thereby achieving the fixation between the propeller and the carrier; when the propeller needs to be separated from the carrier, the positioning card block 2033 is retracted below the surface of the pin body 2031, and the connecting pin 203 can be pulled out of the first connecting hole 2012 and the second connecting hole 2022, thereby achieving the separation of the first connecting member 201 and the second connecting member 202, thereby achieving the separation of the propeller and the carrier.

[0031] In this application, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that an article or device comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such article or device. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the article or device comprising the element.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present application.
