Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an underwater communication application technology, specifically a technology that combines a release device and a communication unit for joint fixation to improve integrated stability and functionality. Background Technology

[0002] With the deepening of marine resource development and marine scientific research, the demand for marine environmental monitoring, seabed exploration, seabed operations, and the deployment and recovery of marine equipment is constantly increasing. Underwater acoustic communication, as one of the main means of marine information transmission, has advantages such as long transmission distance, relatively strong anti-interference capability, and good channel adaptability, playing a crucial role in fields such as marine buoy monitoring, seabed data acquisition, and control of unmanned marine platforms.

[0003] However, traditional underwater acoustic communication equipment typically only handles data transmission. To meet various maritime operational needs (such as deploying observation equipment, recovering vehicles, and deploying probes), additional mechanical release devices or structures are required, making them independent of the underwater acoustic communication system. This leads to the following problems:

[0004] The increased overall size and weight of the equipment makes it difficult to miniaturize and modularize.

[0005] The system has low integration and cannot achieve unified management and control of underwater acoustic communication and release functions.

[0006] Multi-module operation consumes a lot of energy, which is not conducive to long-term offshore operations.

[0007] Therefore, how to integrate the release device and the communication module while meeting the underwater acoustic communication function, and make the structure as compact as possible and the function as stable and reliable as possible, has become an important research direction in the field of marine equipment.

[0008] In actual maritime applications, the installation location, transmission power, signal modulation method, and waterproof sealing of underwater acoustic communication equipment directly affect the reliability and efficiency of communication. Meanwhile, the mechanisms used for deployment (such as launching observation equipment, deploying positioning buoys, and deploying seabed sensor recovery hooks) also face challenges related to wave impact, seawater corrosion, and the safety and durability under high pressure. If the underwater acoustic communication module and the deployment mechanism are independent, they often require separate waterproofing and pressure-resistant designs, leading to increased system complexity and cost.

[0009] Currently, some research institutions and companies are attempting to integrate simple mechanical release components with underwater acoustic communication modules, but most of these are serial structures, or still require an external control unit to complete bidirectional communication and release actions. They still have shortcomings in terms of reliability, portability, and power consumption during deployment and retrieval. For example:

[0010] In some ocean observation buoys, the release mechanism is often installed independently at the bottom of the buoy and is triggered by underwater acoustic signals. However, the communication and release mechanisms are still physically separate and need to be connected by additional lines or control boxes.

[0011] In some marine monitoring AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) mounting platforms, the release mechanism and communication module are independent of each other. During operation, a command is required to trigger communication before a release command is issued. The inter-module linkage capability is weak, and the spatial layout is not compact enough.

[0012] In practical applications, if the underwater acoustic communication module and the release device can be structurally combined in parallel, a compact design can be achieved in the overall equipment, and better coordination can be achieved at the control command level, thereby improving system integration and work efficiency, and reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs of multiple modules. Utility Model Content

[0013] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, thereby providing a technology that combines a release device and a communication unit for joint fixation to improve integration stability and functionality.

[0014] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a parallel combination structure of a release device, including a release device and a water-making acoustic communication unit;

[0015] Two sets of release devices are arranged in parallel, and the two sets of release devices are fixed by parallel clamps;

[0016] The two sets of water-making acoustic communication units are located on both sides of the two sets of release devices arranged in parallel, and the water-making acoustic communication units are connected to the parallel clamps by clamping clamps;

[0017] The parallel clamp has two sets of oppositely arranged locking plates. Each locking plate has a first semi-circular locking groove and a second semi-circular locking groove. The two sets of locking plates are arranged correspondingly. The first semi-circular locking grooves of the two sets are used to clamp and fix the release device of the first set, and the second semi-circular locking grooves of the two sets are used to fasten the release device of the second set.

[0018] The outer end of the snap-fit ​​plate has a fixing hole, and the outer ends of the two sets of snap-fit ​​plates are installed and fixed through the fixing hole and fastening bolt.

[0019] A preferred embodiment is that the parallel clamps are in two sets, with the two sets of parallel clamps located at the upper middle and lower middle positions of the release device, respectively.

[0020] A preferred solution is,

[0021] The fastening bolt is an M8×100 bolt.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the outer end of the locking plate has a mounting hole, and the clamping clamp is connected and fixed to the mounting hole by a clamping bolt.

[0023] A preferred embodiment is that the clamping clamps are in two sets.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the release device has a pressure-resistant chamber shell body, which has an outer pressure cylinder, an upper end cover, and a lower end cover. The outer pressure cylinder is connected to the upper end cover and the lower end cover respectively by a bolt group.

[0025] A release body is provided below the lower end cap.

[0026] A preferred embodiment is that the top of the upper cover is fitted with a lifting lug for the release device to connect to a float or lifting equipment.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0028] 1. This utility model adopts a parallel combination structure of multiple release devices and multi-system underwater acoustic communication units, which can realize the combination structure of single release device and single multi-system underwater acoustic communication unit in parallel, double release device in parallel, double release device and single multi-system underwater acoustic communication unit in parallel, and double release device and double multi-system underwater acoustic communication unit in parallel.

[0029] 2. The increased system battery capacity extends underwater standby time, enhances the load capacity of the dual releasers, and allows the other releaser to take over if one fails, thus increasing the reliability of the mooring system recovery. In particular, its modular structure is simple, portable, and easy to disassemble, saving volume and cost compared to the traditional underwater mooring frame structure.

[0030] 3. Furthermore, since the lifting points are located on both sides of the release device at the center of the position, neither increasing nor decreasing the number of multi-system underwater acoustic communication units or release devices will affect the underwater attitude of the mooring, thus solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a parallel combination structure of release devices, including a release device 10 and a water-making acoustic communication unit 20;

[0043] Two sets of release devices 10 are arranged in parallel, and the two sets of release devices 10 are fixed by parallel clamps 30;

[0044] The two sets of water-making acoustic communication units 20 are located on both sides of the two sets of release devices 10 arranged in parallel. The water-making acoustic communication units 20 are connected to the parallel clamps 30 through clamping clamps 40.

[0045] By using the parallel clamps 30, the two sets of release devices 10 are arranged side by side, thus effectively fixing the two sets of structures and achieving mutual redundancy. Furthermore, the water-making acoustic communication unit 20 is connected to the two sides by clamping clamps 40, thus integrating the two together well. The structure is very stable and not prone to detachment.

[0046] A preferred embodiment is that the parallel clamps 30 are in two sets, with the two sets of parallel clamps 30 located at the upper middle position and the lower middle position of the releaser 10, respectively.

[0047] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the parallel clamp 30 has two sets of oppositely arranged clamping plates 31. Each clamping plate 31 has a first semi-circular clamping groove 32 and a second semi-circular clamping groove 33. The two sets of clamping plates 31 are arranged correspondingly. The two sets of first semi-circular clamping grooves 32 are used to clamp and fix the first set of releasers 10, and the two sets of second semi-circular clamping grooves 33 are used to fasten the second set of releasers 10.

[0048] The outer end of the snap-fit ​​plate 31 has a fixing hole 34, and the outer ends of the two sets of snap-fit ​​plates 31 are installed and fixed through the fixing hole 34 and the fastening bolt 36;

[0049] The fastening bolt 36 is an M8×100 bolt.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the outer end of the locking plate 31 has a mounting hole 35, and the clamping clamp 40 is connected and fixed to the mounting hole 35 by a clamping bolt 41. Preferably, the mounting hole 35 is threaded to mate with the clamping bolt 41.

[0051] A preferred embodiment is that the clamping clamps 40 are in two sets.

[0052] A preferred solution is, as Figure 4 As shown, the release device 10 has a pressure-resistant chamber shell body 11, which has an outer pressure cylinder 12, an upper end cover 13, and a lower end cover 14.

The control circuit board, battery assembly, or other required detection structures can be integrated in the internal space of the outer pressure cylinder 12. Due to the large space, the overall battery performance is stable.

[0053] A release body 15 is disposed below the lower end cover 14. The release body is located at the bottom and releases itself when needed. The specific release method and related structure are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. For example, the release structure of the release device and underwater acoustic release device in existing patent CN202222386733.6, or the related release technology of the release device in existing patent CN202410300078.9, can be used to release the release body.

[0054] A preferred embodiment is that the top of the upper cover 13 is fitted with a lifting lug 16 for the release device 10 to connect to a float or lifting equipment.

[0055] The multi-mode underwater acoustic communication unit in this patent refers to a device or module capable of supporting multiple underwater acoustic communication modes. It can flexibly select the appropriate communication mode for information transmission according to different application scenarios and communication requirements. This structure belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0058] 2. The increased system battery capacity extends underwater standby time, enhances the load capacity of the dual releasers, and allows the other releaser to take over if one fails, thus increasing the reliability of the mooring system recovery. In particular, its modular structure is simple, portable, and easy to disassemble, saving volume and cost compared to the traditional underwater mooring frame structure.

[0059] 3. Furthermore, since the lifting points are located on both sides of the release device at the center of the position, neither increasing nor decreasing the number of multi-system underwater acoustic communication units or release devices will affect the underwater attitude of the mooring, thus solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
