TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to multi-beam depth finder installation component technical field, concretely is a kind of multi-beam rotatable measurement installation support. BACKGROUND
[0002] In many fields such as ocean measurement and underwater topography detection, multi-beam depth finder plays a crucial role. It can accurately obtain detailed data of large-area underwater topography and geomorphology by emitting and receiving acoustic signals, and provide key basic information support for many projects such as ocean resource development, channel dredging and marine engineering construction. As a key equipment for carrying and fixing multi-beam depth finder, the performance and function of multi-beam depth finder mounting rack are of great significance to ensure the accurate and efficient measurement of depth finder.
[0003] The existing patent CN114132450B discloses a multi-beam depth finder mounting rack with convenient installation and strong adaptability. The mounting rack has certain advantages, for example, in the installation and fixing part of the multi-beam measuring rod, the upper part adopts a pair of rotatable clamps, which can flexibly determine the initial installation angle according to the actual situation on site, and the lower part is additionally provided with two slotted resting plates, which can play an effective positioning role before the measuring rod is fastened. The part fixed to the ship body uses a modular structure, which can select corresponding connecting components according to different ship side structures. Not only is the positioning reliable and the operation convenient in actual use, but also the design, management cost and production cycle are reduced. The modular and universal design greatly reduces the design and manufacturing cost, and has high popularization value.
[0004] However, the multi-beam depth finder mounting rack in the above-mentioned patent still has certain defects: the multi-beam depth finder it adapts to can only be installed vertically below the mounting rack, and cannot be flipped up and down to adjust the angle. In actual measurement work, this fixed vertical installation method has many inconveniences, such as in some special underwater topography measurement scenarios, such as underwater slopes with large inclination or the need to scan the side of underwater structures in detail, the vertical downward measurement angle is difficult to fully and accurately obtain the required measurement data, which may cause measurement blind area in some areas, affecting the complete evaluation of the entire measurement target.
[0005] In addition, different measurement tasks may have different requirements for the sound wave emission and receiving angle, and the fixed vertical installation angle limits the ability of the multi-beam depth sounder to flexibly adjust the measurement angle according to specific measurement requirements, cannot fully exert the performance advantages of the depth sounder, and further reduces the accuracy and effectiveness of the measurement data. Moreover, in order to obtain more comprehensive and accurate data, it is sometimes necessary to indirectly adjust the measurement angle by changing the sailing posture, position and the like of the ship, but such operation not only increases the complexity and time cost of the measurement operation, but also may introduce more error factors due to the frequent adjustment of the posture of the ship, which is not conducive to efficiently and high-quality completion of the measurement task.
[0006] In view of the defects of the existing multi-beam depth sounder mounting frame in terms of angle adjustment, it is difficult to meet the actual needs of flexible adjustment of the measurement angle for complex and changeable marine measurement work, and there is an urgent need to develop a new type of multi-beam rotatable measurement mounting bracket, which can realize the up-down flipping and flexible adjustment of the angle of the multi-beam depth sounder on the mounting bracket, so as to adapt to different measurement scenes and task requirements, improve the quality of the measurement data and the overall efficiency of the measurement operation, and further promote the development and application of marine measurement technology.

[0027] Embodiment 2
[0028] This embodiment details the ship side mounting rack 1 based on embodiment 1, specifically:
[0029] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The ship side mounting frame 1 comprises a support 1-1, a first sheet metal part 1-2 fixedly mounted on one side of the support 1-1, and a second sheet metal part 1-3 mounted on the first sheet metal part 1-2. The support 1-1 is detachably mounted on the lower connecting rod 3 through a U-shaped buckle. The first sheet metal part 1-2 and the second sheet metal part 1-3 are both in an "L" shape structure. The first sheet metal part 1-2 is fixedly mounted on the side of the support 1-1. The second sheet metal part 1-3 is fixedly mounted below the first sheet metal part 1-2. A plurality of positioning bolts 1-4 for fixed connection with the ship side are mounted on the vertical surface of the second sheet metal part 1-3. The structure of the ship side mounting frame 1, the detachable connection of the support 1-1 with the lower connecting rod 3 through the U-shaped buckle facilitates the installation and dismounting operation of the entire mounting support 1-1 on the ship, and facilitates transportation, storage and transfer for use on different ships. The first sheet metal part 1-2 and the second sheet metal part 1-3 are in an "L" shape structure and cooperate with each other, which increases the structural strength of the connection part of the ship side mounting frame 1 with the ship side, so that it can be more stably attached to the ship side to withstand external force effects such as water flow and ship sway during measurement, ensuring that the multi-beam probe 5 is in a stable state during measurement, reducing measurement errors caused by the shaking of the mounting frame.
