DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a loading and unloading device for underwater detection equipment of dock ships includes a horizontal support frame 1, a hinged vertical rotating frame 2 is provided at the lower middle part of the horizontal support frame 1, a loading and unloading mechanism 3 is provided on the vertical rotating frame 2, and sliding sleeves 302 are fixed on both sides of the sliding frame 301 in the loading and unloading mechanism 3. The sliding sleeve 302 slides on the vertical rotating frame 2, and a clamp 303 is fixed on one side of the sliding sleeve 302. The clamp 303 is used to clamp the detection equipment and drive it to move. An adjustment mechanism 4 is provided between the end of the horizontal support frame 1 and the vertical rotating frame 2 for driving the vertical rotating frame 2 to rotate.
[0026] The ship is docked at the dock, and the two ends of the horizontal support frame 1 are respectively installed on the ship and the dock. The vertical rotating frame 2 is driven by the adjustment mechanism 4 to rotate towards the ship, and the loading and unloading mechanism 3 slides up and down to allow the clamp 303 to clamp the detection equipment, thereby driving the detection equipment to move for rapid loading, unloading and maintenance.
[0027] The horizontal support frame 1 serves as the foundation of the entire loading and unloading mechanism, providing stable support. The vertical turret 2 is hingedly connected to the horizontal support frame 1 and can rotate around the hinge point to adjust the vertical angle. The loading and unloading mechanism 3, consisting of a sliding frame 301, a sliding sleeve 302, and a clamp 303, is responsible for the actual grasping and movement of the testing equipment. The adjustment mechanism 4, located between the horizontal support frame 1 and the vertical turret 2, is used to control the angle of the vertical turret 2.
[0028] When underwater inspection of a ship is required, one end of the horizontal support frame 1 is first placed on the dock and the other end is placed on the ship to be inspected. By operating the adjustment mechanism 4, the angle of the vertical rotating frame 2 can be adjusted to allow it to approach a specific position of the ship.
[0029] Next, the sliding sleeve 302 in the loading and unloading mechanism 3 slides up and down along the vertical rotating frame 2 until the clamp 303 reaches the desired position. The clamp 303 firmly holds the testing device. The loading and unloading mechanism 3 is then reversed to lift the testing device out of the water or place it in the desired location, completing the loading and unloading process.
[0030] Preferably, fixed rods 102 are fixed on both sides of the crossbar 101 in the horizontal support frame 1. The ends of the vertical rods 201 on both sides of the vertical rotating frame 2 abut against the crossbar 101 and rotate. The ends of the vertical rods 201 are sleeved on the crossbar 101 through sleeves, which makes the rotation smoother and more reliable. The ends of the fixed rods 102 are respectively fixed to the ship and the dock.
[0031] The fixed rods 102 are installed on both sides of the crossbar 101, providing additional stability for the entire horizontal support frame 1 and ensuring the overall stability of the structure during loading and unloading. The ends of the vertical rods 201 are sleeved on the crossbar 101 through sleeves. This design not only allows the vertical rods 201 to rotate smoothly around the crossbar 101, but also ensures stability and reliability during the rotation process. Compared with direct contact rotation, the use of sleeves can reduce friction, reduce wear and extend service life. Since the ends of the vertical rods 201 are connected to the crossbar 101 through sleeves, this makes the vertical rotating frame 2 more flexible and free when adjusting the angle. At the same time, the design of the sleeve helps to disperse the pressure generated during rotation, avoids damage caused by excessive local force, and improves the safety of the overall structure.
[0032] Preferably, an upper connecting rod 202 and a lower connecting rod 203 are fixed between the vertical rods 201 on both sides of the vertical rotating frame 2, a sliding sliding frame 301 is provided between the upper connecting rod 202 and the lower connecting rod 203, and the sliding sleeves 302 on both sides of the sliding frame 301 are slidably mounted on the vertical rods 201.
[0033] The connection structure between the upper connecting rod 202, the lower connecting rod 203 and the vertical rod 201 is more stable and reliable. The two sides of the sliding frame 301 slide on the vertical rod 201 through the sliding sleeve 302, thereby driving the clamp 303 and the detection equipment to slide up and down on the vertical rotating frame 2.
[0034] The upper connecting rod 202 and the lower connecting rod 203 connect the vertical rods 201 on either side, forming a stable frame structure. This design not only increases the overall rigidity of the vertical turret 2 but also ensures the coordinated operation of all components during rotation. The presence of the connecting rods makes the entire vertical turret 2 more robust, reduces potential shaking and deformation during operation, and improves the reliability and safety of the device.
[0035] The sliding frame 301 is attached to the vertical rod 201 via sliding sleeves 302 on either side, allowing it to slide freely on the rod 201. This design allows the sliding frame 301 to move vertically, thereby driving the clamp 303 and the detection device up and down. The sliding sleeves 302 reduce friction during sliding, making it smoother and protecting the vertical rod 201 from wear. This not only improves operational convenience but also extends the life of the device.
[0036] Preferably, a rotating first screw rod 304 is provided between the upper connecting rod 202 and the lower connecting rod 203. The first screw rod 304 is threadedly connected to the sliding frame 301 through a threaded sleeve. A motor 305 is fixed on the upper connecting rod 202. The output shaft of the motor 305 is fixedly connected to one end of the first screw rod 304. The other end of the first screw rod 304 rotates against the lower connecting rod 203 through a bearing.
[0037] The motor 305 drives the first screw rod 304 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding frame 301 to move up and down, and further enabling the clamp 303 to drive the detection device to move up and down.
[0038] The first screw rod 304 is installed between the upper connecting rod 202 and the lower connecting rod 203 and is threadedly connected to the carriage 301 via a threaded sleeve. This design converts rotational motion into linear motion, enabling the up and down movement of the carriage 301. The screw drive offers high precision and stability, enabling precise control of the travel distance of the carriage 301 and ensuring accuracy and reliability during loading and unloading.
[0039] Motor 305 is fixed to upper connecting rod 202, with its output shaft fixedly connected to one end of first screw rod 304. Motor 305 drives first screw rod 304 to rotate, thereby moving carriage 301 up and down. The use of motor 305 enables automated control, reduces the need for manual operation, and improves work efficiency. Furthermore, the precise control capability of motor 305 ensures smooth and controllable movement of carriage 301.
[0040] The other end of the first screw rod 304 abuts against the lower connecting rod 203 through a bearing, ensuring smooth rotation of the screw rod. The design of the bearing reduces friction during rotation, extends the service life of the screw rod, and ensures smooth rotation.
[0041] Preferably, the sliding seat 401 in the adjustment mechanism 4 is sleeved on the cross bar 101 in the horizontal support frame 1 and slides. A fixed seat 103 is fixed to the end of the cross bar 101. A second screw rod 402 is provided between the fixed seat 103 and the sliding seat 401. The end of the second screw rod 402 rests on the sliding seat 401 and rotates, and the other end is threadedly connected to the fixed seat 103 through a threaded sleeve.
[0042] A connecting rod 403 is provided between the sliding seat 401 and the vertical rod 201 in the vertical rotating frame 2. A connecting seat 404 is fixed on the vertical rod 201. Both ends of the connecting rod 403 are supported by ball heads on the sliding seat 401 and the connecting seat 404 for rotation.
[0043] The sliding seat 401 is mounted on the crossbar 101 in the horizontal support frame 1 and can slide on the crossbar 101. This design allows the sliding seat 401 to be adjusted as needed. The sliding function of the sliding seat 401 provides flexibility for the adjustment mechanism 4, making it easier to adjust the angle of the vertical rotating frame 2.
[0044] One end of the second screw rod 402 rests against the sliding seat 401, and the other end is threadedly connected to the fixed seat 103 via a threaded sleeve. Rotation of the second screw rod 402 pushes the sliding seat 401 along the crossbar 101. The screw drive offers high precision and stability, enabling precise control of the movement of the sliding seat 401, thereby enabling precise adjustment of the angle of the vertical turret 2.
[0045] The fixing seat 103 is fixed to the end of the crossbar 101 to provide a support point for the second screw rod 402. The fixing seat 103 ensures the stability and reliability of the second screw rod 402 and prevents it from deflecting during rotation.
[0046] One end of the connecting rod 403 rests against the sliding seat 401 via a ball joint, while the other end, via a ball joint, rests against the connecting seat 404 on the vertical rod 201. This design allows the connecting rod 403 to rotate freely within a certain range, increasing the flexibility of the adjustment mechanism 4. The ball joint design enables the connecting rod 403 to rotate freely in multiple directions, ensuring that the movement of the sliding seat 401 is smoothly transmitted to the vertical turret 2, thereby enabling the angular adjustment of the vertical turret 2.
[0047] The connecting seat 404 is fixed on the vertical rod 201 to provide a fulcrum for the connecting rod 403. The connecting seat 404 ensures the stability and reliability of the connecting rod 403 and prevents it from loosening during the rotation process.
