Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the field of underwater monitoring, specifically an underwater monitoring device with anti-overturning and anti-sinking design. Background Technology

[0002] The underwater monitoring device can monitor the water quality of the river in real time by using water quality monitoring sensors. The data detected is more accurate, and there is no need to remove the device from the bottom of the river. The detection efficiency is high and the manpower input can be reduced.

[0003] In the underwater water quality monitoring device proposed in application number CN202321827458.5, a fixing column is set under its base so that the fixing column is inserted into the underwater ground to fix the device. However, since the underwater ground is mostly soft mud and sand, the fixing method by fixing column is not stable and is still prone to overturning. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this patent is to provide an underwater monitoring device with an anti-overturning and anti-sinking design.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this patent to solve its technical problem is: an underwater monitoring device with anti-overturning and anti-settlement design, including a base and an underwater monitoring rod. The underwater monitoring rod is installed on the upper wall of the base, and a steel plate is installed on the lower wall of the base. Positioning mechanisms are installed at the four corners of the steel plate.

[0006] The positioning mechanism includes a rotating frame, a sleeve, a support rod, and a positioning pin. The rotating frame is installed on the upper wall of the steel plate. A sleeve is rotatably installed on the inner side of the rotating frame. One end of the support rod is inserted into the side wall of the sleeve. A positioning pin is installed on the other end of the support rod. The positioning pin can be inserted and installed in the external underwater ground.

[0007] Furthermore, limiting mechanisms are installed on both the left and right sides of the base. The limiting mechanisms can press the positioning mechanism. The limiting mechanisms include threaded holes, bolts and pressure plates. The upper wall of the base is provided with threaded holes. A bolt is inserted and installed in the middle of the upper wall of the pressure plate. The bolt can be screwed into the threaded hole. The two ends of the pressure plate can be pressed on the top of the sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, the underwater monitoring rod includes a rod body, an underwater sensor, a groove, and a stirring blade. The rod body is installed on the upper wall of the base, and an underwater sensor is installed at the end of the rod body. The underwater sensor is electrically connected to an external power source. A groove is provided on the outer wall of the rod body, and the stirring blade is slidably installed in the groove.

[0009] Furthermore, a rubber gasket is fitted onto the outer side of the steel plate, and the rubber gasket can be inserted into the external underwater ground.

[0010] Furthermore, a concrete counterweight is fitted onto the outer side of the base, and the concrete counterweight presses down on top of the steel plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a protective tube is fitted onto the outer wall of the bolt, and sealing rings are installed at both the upper and lower ends of the protective tube. The two sealing rings are respectively attached to the side walls of the pressure plate and the steel plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this patent are:

[0013] This device increases the contact area between itself and the underwater surface by installing a steel plate under its base, thereby improving its stability after installation. Additionally, positioning mechanisms are installed at the four corners of the steel plate to prevent the device from tipping over.

[0014] In addition, this device also has a rotating agitator blade on the outside of its underwater monitoring rod to agitate the water around the underwater monitoring rod, so as to prevent underwater fish or barnacles and other plants and animals from coming into contact with the underwater sensor and thus avoid affecting the underwater sensor's monitoring.

[0019] The present patent is further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the patent. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this patent, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to this patent, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0020] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this patent. An underwater monitoring device with anti-overturning and anti-sinking design includes a base 1 and an underwater monitoring rod 2. The underwater monitoring rod 2 is installed on the upper wall of the base 1, and a steel plate 3 is installed on the lower wall of the base 1. Positioning mechanisms 4 are installed at the four corners of the steel plate 3.

[0021] The steel plate 3 increases the contact area between the device and the underwater ground, thereby improving the stability of the device and preventing it from tilting or overturning. At the same time, the larger contact area can also prevent the device from settling.

[0022] The positioning mechanism 4 includes a rotating frame 41, a sleeve 42, a support rod 43, and a positioning pin 44. The rotating frame 41 is installed on the upper wall of the steel plate 3. The sleeve 42 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the rotating frame 41. One end of the support rod 43 is inserted into the side wall of the sleeve 42. The other end of the support rod 43 is installed with a positioning pin 44. The positioning pin 44 can be inserted into the external underwater ground.

[0023] The positioning pin 44 in the positioning mechanism 4 can fix the position of the steel plate 3. At the same time, its sleeve 42 can rotate on the rotating frame 41, so that when the device is moved, its sleeve 42 and support rod 43 can be rotated to the top of the steel plate 3, which facilitates the transfer and handling of the device.

[0024] Limiting mechanisms 5 are installed on both the left and right sides of the base 1. The limiting mechanisms 5 can press the positioning mechanism 4. The limiting mechanism 5 includes a threaded hole 51, a bolt 52 and a pressure plate 53. The upper wall of the base 1 is provided with a threaded hole 51. A bolt 52 is inserted and installed in the middle of the upper wall of the pressure plate 53. The bolt 52 can be screwed into the threaded hole 51. Both ends of the pressure plate 53 can be pressed above the sleeve 42.

[0025] After the device is placed on the underwater surface, the pressure plate 53 is pressed onto the sleeve 42 by bolts 52 and fixed by bolts 52 to prevent the sleeve 42 from rotating and to ensure the stability of the device.

[0026] The underwater monitoring rod 2 includes a rod 21, an underwater sensor 22, a slide groove 23, and a stirring blade 24. The rod 21 is installed on the upper wall of the base 1. The underwater sensor 22 is installed at the end of the rod 21 and is electrically connected to an external power source. The slide groove 23 is provided on the outer side wall of the rod 21, and the stirring blade 24 is slidably installed in the slide groove 23.

[0027] Driven by the underwater water flow, its agitator blades 24 will rotate in the chute 23, causing it to agitate the water flow around the underwater monitoring rod 2, thus preventing underwater plants and animals from coming into prolonged contact with the underwater monitoring rod 2 and avoiding affecting the underwater sensor 22's monitoring of the underwater environment.

[0028] The underwater sensor 22 proposed in this paper is existing technology, and its model is FDOM, but it is not limited to this model. This device can be used to monitor water quality parameters, mark fish, and perform other operations.

[0029] A rubber washer 6 is fitted onto the outer side of the steel plate 3, and the rubber washer 6 can be inserted into the external underwater ground.

[0030] The rubber gasket 6 can be inserted into the external underwater ground to prevent water from flowing under the steel plate 3 and causing the device to shift.

[0031] A concrete counterweight 7 is fitted onto the outer side of the base 1, and the concrete counterweight 7 is pressed on top of the steel plate 3.

[0032] The concrete counterweight 7 can increase the overall weight of the device, making it more stable underwater.

[0033] A protective tube 8 is fitted onto the outer wall of bolt 52. Sealing rings 9 are installed at both the upper and lower ends of the protective tube 8. The two sealing rings 9 are respectively attached to the side walls of pressure plate 53 and steel plate 3.

[0034] The protective tube 8 and the sealing ring 9 can provide some protection for the bolt 52, preventing sand particles from the bottom of the water from encasing it and affecting the rotation of the bolt 52 later.

[0035] In operation, the device is first placed on a boat and then moved to a designated deployment location by the boat. Then, staff wearing diving equipment bring the device to the underwater surface and place it upright on the underwater surface. The positioning pins 44 in the positioning mechanism 4 are used to fix the position of the steel plate 3. After fixing, the pressure plate 53 is pressed onto the sleeve 42 by bolts 52 and fixed by bolts 52 to prevent the sleeve 42 from rotating and to ensure the stability of the device. This completes the installation of the device.

[0036] When in use, the device's agitator blades 24 rotate within the chute 23 under the propulsion of the underwater water flow, causing the agitator to stir the water flow around the underwater monitoring rod 2. This prevents underwater plants and animals from coming into prolonged contact with the underwater monitoring rod 2, thus avoiding interference with the underwater sensor 22's monitoring of the underwater environment.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this patent is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this patent. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this patent is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this patent. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0038] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
