DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1 Figure 3 An embodiment provided by the utility model: a kind of underwater tracking monitoring traction tool, including frame 1, frame 1 adopts stable design, ensure that equipment has enough stability and impact resistance in underwater operation, frame 1 inside is provided with propeller 2, for providing necessary airflow or fluid power, to assist the stable movement or pushing effect of tool under water, frame 1 is fixedly connected with pusher 3 inside, the design of pusher 3 is mainly relied on motor drive, realize the underwater propulsion function of traction tool, frame 1 side is provided with protection assembly, protection assembly is used to protect the inside mechanical element of equipment from collision damage;

[0035] Protection assembly includes connecting plate 4, connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected on the outside of frame 1, connecting plate 4 is fixed on the outside of frame 1 by solid connecting point, ensure the firmness of its structure, connecting plate 4 side is fixedly connected with fixed column 5, fixed column 5 is the important support part of protection assembly, has played the role of stabilizing and bearing, fixed column 5 is fixedly connected with fixed shaft 6 inside, fixed shaft 6 one end is fixedly connected with elastic gasket 7, elastic gasket 7 is mainly used to absorb vibration and impact force in underwater environment, avoid external force to be transmitted to the inside component of equipment, to effectively reduce the abrasion and damage of mechanical component, fixed column 5 outer wall is slidably connected with sliding column 8, sliding column 8 one end is fixedly connected with stress plate 9, stress plate 9 is used to further disperse and relieve impact force from outside, ensure that equipment is more stable and safe when working under water, frame 1 top is provided with connecting assembly, connecting assembly is used to be connected with detection equipment quickly.

[0036] ​Specifically, when the towing tool performs a task underwater, needs to pass through an area with a fast water flow speed and a variable water flow direction, or there are various obstacles underwater, the propeller 3 as the driving source of the device can provide sufficient thrust to enable the device to move freely in the water and complete its specific task. When the impact force of the water flow acts on both sides of the device, the force is transmitted through the surface of the force receiving plate 9, which functions to receive and disperse the impact force of the water flow to prevent the impact force from directly acting on the more delicate internal components. As the impact force on the surface of the force receiving plate 9 increases, the force is further transmitted to the sliding column 8, which slides along the outer wall of the fixed column 5 through cooperation with the fixed column 5, thereby dispersing the external impact force and transmitting it to the subsequent buffer components. The other end of the sliding column 8 is connected to the elastic gasket 7. When the impact force is transmitted to the elastic gasket 7 through the sliding column 8, the elastic gasket 7 will be compressed and deformed due to the external force, changing its shape from the initial state to the compressed state. During this process, the elastic gasket 7 withstands the instantaneous impact force brought by the water flow and converts it into elastic potential energy. When there is no external force, the elastic potential energy stored in the gasket will quickly be converted into kinetic energy, prompting the elastic gasket 7 to return to its original shape and thereby releasing a slow and uniform counterforce. In this way, the impact force is effectively absorbed and alleviated, avoiding damage to other mechanical components inside the device caused by strong instantaneous impact.

[0037] With reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the connecting assembly includes a fixed frame 10 and a support column 11. The fixed frame 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1 and serves as a support and fixation. One end of the support column 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame 10. A limiting ring 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support column 11 to limit the movement of the spring 1 3 and provide certain support. The outer wall of the support column 11 is provided with the spring 1 3, one end of which is fixedly connected to the limiting ring 12. The main function of the spring 1 3 is to provide a certain restoring force to enable the sleeve ring 14 to quickly return to the initial position after being subjected to external force. The sleeve ring 14 is slidingly connected to the outer wall of the support column 11. The sleeve ring 14 is installed on the outer wall of the support column 1 1 in a sliding manner. The design of the sleeve ring 14 takes into account the flexibility and ease of adjustment of the structure. It slides on the outer wall of the support column 1 1, providing additional adjustment space. The movement range and speed of the sleeve ring 14 are controlled by the combined action of the limiting ring 12 and the spring 1 3. The connecting disc 1 5 is fixedly connected inside the support column 1 1. One side of the connecting disc 1 5 is fixedly connected to the spring 2 16. The function of the spring 2 16 is to provide another direction of elastic force to ensure smooth movement and avoid excessive vibration or impact during use. One end of the spring 2 16 is fixedly connected to the transmission block 1 7.

[0038] Specifically, during underwater operation, the underwater detection equipment in use suddenly fails, and the operator can quickly and efficiently connect and disassemble by pulling the collar 14 when the operator pulls the collar 14, the force of the collar 14 acts directly on the spring 13, causing elastic deformation. The spring 13 provides elastic force. When the spring 13 is stretched and deformed, the movement of the collar 14 will drive the positioning column 19 to move. The positioning column 19 functions to precisely dock the equipment. One end of the positioning column 19 can be inserted into the support column 11, and a certain extrusion force is generated when it is inserted. This pressure acts on the structure inside the support column 11 and further pushes the fixed ball 18. The fixed ball 18 mainly provides the necessary locking force when the equipment is connected to ensure that the components can be firmly combined.

[0039] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The support column 11 is slidably connected with the fixed ball 18. The fixed ball 18 allows the support column 11 to move linearly within a certain range through sliding contact with the inner wall of the support column 11. The support column 11 is slidably connected with the positioning column 19. The positioning column 19 is connected with the inner wall of the support column 11 through sliding connection to ensure that the positioning column 19 can move axially within the support column 11. The positioning column 19 is internally provided with a limiting groove 20. The limiting groove 20 is in close contact with the fixed ball 18. The shape of the limiting groove 20 is consistent with that of the fixed ball 18. Through their cooperation, the axial position of the positioning column 19 can be stably maintained during operation, so that the fixed ball 18 can be firmly clamped in the groove. Not only can the positioning column 19 be prevented from exceeding the predetermined stroke, but the load can also be effectively shared to avoid excessive stress causing equipment failure. The positioning column 19 is fixedly connected with the connecting disc 21. The connecting disc 21 functions as a connection point to ensure its stability. One end of the connecting disc 21 is fixedly connected with the spring 22. The spring 22 provides necessary elastic support. When the positioning column 19 or the connecting disc 21 is displaced due to external force, the spring 22 can restore the position. One end of the spring 22 is fixedly connected with the connecting block 23. One end of the positioning column 19 is fixedly connected with the buckle 24.

[0040] Specifically, when the positioning column 19 is fully inserted and reaches the predetermined position, the limiting groove 20 will play a role, further limiting the movement of the fixed ball 18, thereby ensuring the stable connection of the positioning column 19 and the support column 11. When the operator releases the sleeve ring 14, the elastic potential energy of the spring 13 is rapidly released, pushing the sleeve ring 14 to reset. The more prominent part inside the sleeve ring 14 will be firmly fixed in the limiting groove 20 through cooperation with the fixed ball 18. This operation ensures the firmness and safety of the connecting part, so that the entire device remains stable and does not loosen during operation. In an emergency, the operator can quickly disassemble and replace the equipment. When the traction power source fails or the underwater detection equipment is severely damaged, the operator can simply pull the sleeve ring 14 to disassemble the faulty equipment and quickly connect the standby equipment, avoiding work stoppage caused by equipment failure.

[0041] Working principle: When using the device, the propeller 3 can push the device to move freely in the water. When the device is working in a turbulent water area or collides with a stone underwater, causing a large impact on both sides, the impact force first acts on the surface of the force receiving plate 9. When the force receiving plate 9 is impacted, it further drives the sliding column 8 to slide on the outer wall of the fixed column 5, so that one end of the sliding column 8 further transmits the force to the elastic gasket 7, driving the elastic gasket 7 to deform elastically, thereby changing its shape from the initial state to the compressed state, thereby quickly and effectively absorbing the impact force and converting the instantaneous strong impact force into a relatively gentle energy, effectively protecting the internal mechanical elements of the device. At the same time, by pulling the sleeve ring 14 by the operator, the force causes the spring 13 to elastically deform. By directly inserting the positioning column 19 into the support column 11, the inserted end will generate a squeezing force, thereby driving the fixed ball 18 to move inside the support column 11. When the positioning column 19 reaches the connection position, the limiting groove 20 further limits the movement of the fixed ball 18. At the same time, the operator releases the sleeve ring 14, allowing the spring 13 to release its elastic potential energy, thereby pushing the sleeve ring 14 to reset quickly. The more prominent part inside the sleeve ring 14 will firmly fix the fixed ball 18 inside the limiting groove 20, thereby achieving quick connection and disassembly. In case of an emergency such as a sudden failure of the traction power source or severe damage to the underwater detection equipment being used, the user can quickly disassemble the faulty equipment and quickly connect the standby equipment, avoiding work stoppage caused by equipment failure and reducing losses.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application has been described in detail, for the skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or for part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, the spirit and principles of the present application, the made any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included within the scope of the present application.
