Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ocean surveying and mapping water depth measurement, in particular to a vertical installation structure of a single-beam depth sounder transducer. Background Art

[0002] The depth sounder is the main equipment for water depth measurement. The transducer is the device for receiving and reflecting sound waves. The transducer transmits and receives sound wave signals with a certain directional beam angle. Its central axis is the acoustic axis. The transducer acoustic axis is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the transducer. When the bottom surface of the transducer is horizontal, the transducer acoustic axis is plumb.

[0003] Currently, in shallow, flat waters, operations generally do not focus on the verticality of the transducer. However, in waters with greater depths and steeper terrain, the verticality of the transducer has a significant impact on the water depth. It not only affects the water depth, but also introduces errors in matching the plane position and the water depth. The larger the beam angle, the steeper the terrain, and the greater the water depth, the greater the water depth error caused by the non-vertical acoustic axis. Therefore, for operations in deep and steep waters, the verticality of the transducer installation is crucial to water depth measurement. The verticality of the transducer fixing rod is currently used to determine the verticality of the transducer. This method is indirect and requires that the transducer fixing rod be strictly perpendicular to the bottom surface of the transducer. Its processing and manufacturing are extremely difficult and costly. Moreover, even if the initial processing is achieved, it is extremely difficult to maintain the state of the transducer fixing rod perpendicular to the bottom surface of the transducer due to factors such as water flow impact, ship mechanical vibration, and transportation.

The upper ends of the support rods 10 are hingedly connected to the bottom surface of the circular plate 41. When the connecting plate 44 is installed on the existing vertical base 1, the four support rods 10 are also tightly against the base 1. Since the four support rods 10 are evenly arranged around the mounting platform 2, the four support rods 10 evenly support the mounting platform 2 on all sides. The higher vertical installation accuracy of the utility model is achieved by uniformly applying force to the circular plate 41 and the mounting platform 2, which solves the problem of low vertical installation accuracy due to uneven force during vertical installation.

Since the four support rods 10 are evenly arranged around the mounting platform 2, the four support rods 10 evenly support the four sides of the mounting platform 2. The function of the circle is to achieve higher vertical installation accuracy of the utility model by uniformly applying force to the circular plate 41 and the mounting platform 2, thereby solving the problem of low vertical installation accuracy due to uneven force during vertical installation.
