Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of deep-water data acquisition, and in particular relates to a data acquisition device for an underwater platform. Background Art
[0002] The deep-sea environment, one of the most mysterious and difficult-to-explore regions on Earth, holds a wealth of resources and environmental information. However, due to its extreme conditions (such as high pressure, low temperature, and darkness), accurate data collection and long-term monitoring have always been major challenges in marine scientific research and marine resource development. In recent years, with the in-depth development of marine science, the demand for deep-sea environmental data has been increasing, especially in areas such as global climate change, marine ecosystem protection, and deep-sea mineral resource development.
[0003] Traditional deep-sea data acquisition systems require complex installation and removal of data acquisition devices, or require welding to secure them. This makes subsequent maintenance and replacement of data acquisition devices inconvenient. Underwater data acquisition devices are susceptible to damage or data loss from fish impacts, and the welded installation of protective nets hinders subsequent maintenance and replacement of data acquisition devices. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a data acquisition device for an underwater platform, so as to solve the problems of installation of the data acquisition device and the installation of the protective net in the prior art.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A data acquisition device for an underwater platform includes four support columns arranged in a rectangular shape and a data collection device. The data collection device is arranged inside the four support columns. Several rectangular plates are welded between the support columns. Several through holes are provided on the surfaces of the rectangular plates. A protective net is installed on the surface of the rectangular plates. A shaft sleeve is provided on the support column. Fitting blocks with holes are provided on both sides of the shaft sleeve, wherein the fitting blocks are used to stabilize the protective net. A connecting mechanism is installed on the surface of the rectangular plate, and the connecting mechanism is used to install the data collection device.
[0007] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a mounting seat and a clamping block, wherein an arc-shaped base is provided at one end of the mounting seat, a circular stabilizing groove is provided on the base, a first countersunk hole is provided on the inner wall of the stabilizing groove, and a hanging plate is provided at the tail end of the mounting seat, the hanging plate is used to be hung on the rectangular plate, and the first countersunk hole passes through the hanging plate.
[0008] Furthermore, threaded holes are provided at both ends of the mounting seat, and a semicircular clamping block is mounted on the threaded hole. A second countersunk hole is provided on the clamping block, and the second countersunk hole is concentric with the threaded hole.
[0009] Furthermore, an upper mounting assembly is provided above the mounting base. Unlike the connecting mechanism, the upper mounting assembly lacks a base and stabilizing grooves. It is used to stabilize the upper end of the deep-sea power supply unit and is similarly suspended from the rectangular plate via a suspension plate at the tail end and secured in place with bolts.
[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of through holes are provided on the surface of the rectangular plate, a protective net is installed on the surface of the rectangular plate, a shaft sleeve is sleeved on the support column, and fitting blocks with holes are provided on both sides of the fitting block, wherein the fitting blocks are used to stabilize the protective net.
[0011] Furthermore, the shaft sleeve is provided with an opening, and the shaft sleeve is made of a tough material, such as rubber or plastic. The opening allows the shaft sleeve to be opened and fitted onto the support column, making installation, replacement, and removal easy, further improving the efficiency of installing and removing the protective net.
[0012] Furthermore, the fitting blocks are arranged at 90 degrees on both sides of the shaft sleeve. The 90-degree arrangement enables the fitting blocks to fit exactly on the rectangular plates on both sides.
[0013] Furthermore, the data collection device includes: a deep-sea power supply unit, a deep-sea temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen measuring instrument, a data acquisition system, a laser hyperspectral radiometer, and a three-channel optical backscatter meter.
[0014] The technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The mounting base is easily suspended on the rectangular plate through the hanging plate at the tail end, and the mounting base is pushed to the appropriate distance. The use of the hanging plate can facilitate the free adjustment of the position of the mounting base before installation, without the need to fix it directly with nuts, which makes it easy to adjust the installation position.
[0016] 2. Under the setting of the stable tank, the installation position of the deep-sea power supply unit can be preliminarily located, eliminating the need for multiple staff members to manually support the deep-sea power supply unit to achieve installation positioning, thereby improving the convenience of installation.
[0017] 3. The purpose of the protective net is to prevent fish in the water from colliding with the data collection device and causing damage to the instrument. The opening is set, and the shaft sleeve can be pried open and placed on the support column. The position of the shaft sleeve is moved so that the fitting blocks on both sides are close to the surface of the rectangular plate. At the same time, nuts are installed on the holes on the surface of the fitting blocks and tightened to complete the fixing of the protective net. It is easy to install, replace and disassemble, which further improves the efficiency of installation and disassembly of the protective net. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1:
[0028] refer to Figure 1 , a data acquisition device for an underwater platform, comprising four support columns 10 arranged in a rectangular shape, and a data collection device, wherein the data collection device is arranged inside the four support columns 10, and a plurality of rectangular plates 20 are welded between the support columns 10;
[0029] In the above scheme, an inclined rod 16 is welded above the four support columns 10, and a lifting arm 17 with a hole is welded on the inclined rod 16. The entire equipment is lifted by the suspension device on the ship and placed underwater for measurement; since the four support columns 10 are arranged in a rectangular shape, that is, the welded rectangular plates 20 are welded around the four support columns 10, and several rectangular plates 20 are welded on all four sides. After the rectangular plates 20 are welded to the support columns 10, a stable rectangular frame can be formed, thereby forming a whole.
[0030] The data collection device includes: a deep-sea power supply unit 11, a deep-sea temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen measuring instrument 12, a data acquisition system 13, a laser hyperspectral radiometer 14, and a three-channel optical backscatter meter 15.
[0031] The operating principle of the deep-sea temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen meter 12 (using the temperature, salinity, and depth meter as an example) is primarily based on the electrical conductivity of water. Water temperature and salinity are inferred by measuring the water's electrical conductivity. It may also include a sensor for measuring dissolved oxygen. The temperature and salinity sensors in the probe receive electrical signals and measure the water's temperature and conductivity, respectively, to infer salinity. The dissolved oxygen sensor provides dissolved oxygen data by measuring the dissolved oxygen concentration in the water. The operating principle of the three-channel optical backscatter meter 15 is based on the scattering principle of light. When an electromagnetic wave is incident from one medium on the interface between two homogeneous media, it is scattered at the interface. The scattering in the direction opposite to the incident beam is called backscatter. The device measures the intensity of the backscattered light to obtain information about the medium (such as particulate matter or smoke). The three channels correspond to different wavelengths or scattering angles, providing richer measurement data. The basic principle of the laser hyperspectral radiometer 14 is to use a laser as a light source, focusing the spectral radiation information of the measured material through a specific optical system and directing it into a spectrometer. The spectrometer's internal gratings, prisms, and other optical components disperse the spectral radiation into monochromatic light of varying wavelengths. A detector array then measures the intensity of each wavelength. The deep-sea power supply unit 11 is the energy source for deep-sea underwater equipment and primarily comprises three components: power source, power transmission, and power conversion. Deep-sea underwater equipment operating systems powered by umbilical cables offer high transmission efficiency and reliability. The data acquisition system 13 measures and records various physical quantities through a series of steps, including sensor detection, signal conditioning, data acquisition, data processing, data storage, data display, and data communication.
[0032] refer to Figure 5-Figure 7A connecting mechanism is mounted on the surface of the rectangular plate 20 for mounting the data collection device. The connecting mechanism comprises a mounting base 40 and a clamping block 41. An arcuate base 42 is provided at one end of the mounting base 40. A circular stabilizing groove 43 is defined on the base 42. A first countersunk hole 44 is defined in the inner wall of the stabilizing groove 43. A hanging plate 47 is provided at the rear end of the mounting base 40 for suspending from the rectangular plate 20. The first countersunk hole 44 extends through the hanging plate 47.
[0033] In the above scheme, the equipment in the data collection device is all set up with a circular shell. Take the deep-sea power supply unit 11 as an example: the mounting base 40 is easily suspended on the rectangular plate 20 through the suspension plate 47 at the tail end, and the mounting base 40 is pushed to the appropriate distance. The use of the suspension plate 47 can facilitate the free adjustment of the position of the mounting base 40 before installation, without directly fixing it with a nut, which can facilitate the adjustment of the installation position. After the mounting base 40 is moved to the specified position, a bolt is inserted into the first countersunk hole 44 through the suspension plate 47 and into the through hole 21 on the rectangular plate 20, and then installed on the bolt with a nut, thereby completing the fixation of the mounting base 40; then the deep-sea power supply unit 11 is placed inside the circular stable groove 43. Under the setting of the stable groove 43, the installation position of the deep-sea power supply unit 11 can be preliminarily positioned, and there is no need for multiple staff to manually support the deep-sea power supply unit 11 to achieve installation positioning, thereby improving the convenience of installation.
[0034] Further references Figure 6 , threaded holes 45 are provided at both ends of the mounting seat 40, and a semicircular arc-shaped clamping block 41 is installed on the threaded hole 45. The clamping block 41 is provided with a second countersunk hole 46, and the second countersunk hole 46 is concentric with the threaded hole 45.
[0035] In the above scheme, after the deep-sea power supply unit 11 is placed in the circular stabilization groove 43 and stabilized, the clamping block 41 is wrapped around the outer diameter of the deep-sea power supply unit 11, and at the same time, a bolt is inserted into the second countersunk hole 46, and the bolt enters the threaded hole 45 and is tightened to further position the deep-sea power supply unit 11.
[0036] Further references Figure 6 An upper mounting group 48 is provided above the mounting seat 40 .
[0037] As mentioned above, the difference between the upper end mounting group 48 and the connecting mechanism is the lack of the base 42 and the stabilizing groove 43. The upper end mounting group 48 is used to stabilize the upper end of the deep-sea power supply unit 11, and is also suspended on the rectangular plate 20 through the suspension plate 47 at the tail end and positioned in combination with bolts.

[0039] In the above scheme, after the data collection device is installed, the protective net 33 is attached to the outer wall of the rectangular plate 20. Protective nets 33 need to be installed on all four sides. The purpose of the protective net 33 is to prevent fish in the water from colliding with the data collection device and causing damage to the instrument. To install the protective net 33, the shaft sleeve 30 is moved so that the fitting blocks 31 on both sides are close to the surface of the rectangular plate 20. At the same time, nuts are installed in the holes on the fitting blocks 31 and tightened to secure the protective net 33. The use of the shaft sleeve 30 allows for quick removal and installation of the protective net 33.
[0040] The fitting blocks 31 are arranged at 90 degrees on both sides of the shaft sleeve 30. The 90-degree arrangement enables the fitting blocks 31 to fit exactly on the rectangular plates 20 on both sides.
[0041] Further references Figure 3 The shaft sleeve 30 is provided with an opening 32 and is made of a tough material.
[0042] In the above solution, the tough material can be rubber or plastic. Through the setting of the opening 32, the sleeve 30 can be opened and put on the support column 10, which is easy to install, replace and disassemble, further improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the protective net 33.
