DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following is a specific embodiment of the utility model and further describes the technical scheme of the utility model in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to these embodiments.

[0030] Please refer to Figs. 1-3The utility model discloses a kind of lifting mechanism for acoustic Doppler flow velocity measuring device, the Doppler flow velocity measuring device includes measuring mechanism, the lifting mechanism is arranged above the measuring mechanism, to drive the measuring mechanism moves along height direction, the lifting mechanism includes:

[0031] Driving piece 100 has an output shaft 110, winding drum 200 is provided on the output shaft 110;The winding drum 200 includes first wire winding section 210 and second wire winding section 220, the first steel wire is wound in the first wire winding section 210, the second steel wire is connected in the second wire winding section 220, the first steel wire and the second steel wire are connected to the measuring mechanism;

[0032] Wherein, the winding direction of the first steel wire is opposite to the winding direction of the second steel wire;The first steel wire is connected at the top end of the measuring mechanism, to apply upward tension to the measuring mechanism;The second steel wire is connected at the bottom end of the measuring mechanism, to apply downward tension to the measuring mechanism.

[0033] Specifically, the first steel wire is wound in the first wire winding section 210, the second steel wire is wound in the second wire winding section 220, and the winding direction of the first steel wire and the second steel wire is opposite.When driving piece 100 is forward, the first wire winding section 210 winds the first steel wire, the second wire winding section 220 releases the second steel wire, and the measuring mechanism is pulled upward at a constant speed by the first steel wire;When driving piece 100 is reversed, the second wire winding section 220 winds the second steel wire, the first wire winding section 210 releases the first steel wire, and the measuring mechanism is pulled downward at a constant speed by the second steel wire. In this way, the measuring mechanism can be pulled downward at a constant speed.

[0034] At the same time, since the second steel wire can pull the measuring mechanism downward, even if the metal slide rail on the lifting support is rusty and jammed, the second steel wire can provide downward force and pull the measuring mechanism down, preventing the measuring mechanism from stopping in water under its own gravity.

[0035] It should be noted that the winding direction refers to the direction of spiral or winding of the steel wire in a specific direction, when the first steel wire is wound clockwise on the winding drum 200, the second steel wire is counterclockwise;When the first steel wire is counterclockwise wound on the winding drum 200, the second steel wire is clockwise. The description of forward rotation and reverse rotation of driving piece 100 is only to describe the two opposite rotation directions, and does not limit the specific rotation direction of forward rotation and reverse rotation to clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0036] Further, a fixed pulley is also provided at the bottom end of the measuring mechanism, and the second steel wire is wound around the fixed pulley.

[0037] Specifically, two ends of the second steel wire are connected with the second winding section 220 and the bottom end of the measuring mechanism respectively, and the second steel wire is wound around the fixed pulley, and the traction direction of the second steel wire can be changed through the fixed pulley, so that the measuring mechanism can be pulled downward.

[0038] Further, the first steel wire has a first winding section wound around the first winding section 210, and a first drooping section drooping under the action of its own gravity; the second steel wire has a second winding section wound around the second winding section 220, and a second drooping section drooping under the action of its own gravity.

[0039] The first drooping section and the second drooping section are respectively located on opposite sides of the winding drum 200.

[0040] It should be noted that the first drooping section and the second drooping section refer to the sections that can naturally drop vertically under the action of their own gravity on the premise that they are not straightened by the measuring mechanism, and are only used to distinguish different sections and do not limit their posture when working. For example, when the first steel wire is straightened, the first drooping section is also straightened by the measuring mechanism, and its posture is no longer naturally dropped due to the influence of its own gravity.

[0041] Further, the winding drum 200 is provided with a first partition plate 230 and a third partition plate 250 at two ends thereof, and a second partition plate 240 is arranged between the first partition plate 230 and the third partition plate 250.

[0042] The region of the winding drum 200 between the first partition plate 230 and the second partition plate 240 constitutes the first winding section 210, and the region of the winding drum 200 between the second partition plate 240 and the third partition plate 250 constitutes the second winding section 220.

[0043] Specifically, the first partition plate 230, the second partition plate 240 and the third partition plate 250 are partitioning pieces arranged on the winding drum 200 to divide the region and separate the first steel wire and the second steel wire.

[0044] The first partition plate 230 and the third partition plate 250 are arranged at two ends of the winding drum 200, which can prevent the first steel wire and the second steel wire from crossing the end of the winding drum 200 when winding, thereby preventing the measuring mechanism from falling.

[0045] The second partition plate 240 is arranged between the first partition plate 230 and the second partition plate 240, and divides the winding drum 200 into the first winding section 210 and the second winding section 220, which can limit the first steel wire in the first winding section 210 and the second steel wire in the second winding section 220.

[0046] Further, the first partition 230, the second partition 240 and the third partition 250 are provided with fixing holes 290 for connecting the first steel wire or the second steel wire.

[0047] Specifically, the fixing holes 290 are formed on the first partition 230, the second partition 240 and the third partition 250, and the ends of the first steel wire and the second steel wire are threaded through the fixing holes 290 and then knotted or subjected to other means for increasing the outer diameter, so that the first steel wire and the second steel wire cannot be withdrawn from the fixing holes 290, thereby realizing the fixation of the first steel wire and the second steel wire to the winding drum 200.

[0048] Of course, the first winding wire section 210 and the second winding wire section 220 can be provided as independent components, the second partition 240 is arranged at the end of the first winding wire section 210, the second partition 240 is also arranged at the end of the second winding wire section 220, the two second partitions 240 are connected, and the two second partitions 240 are bolted through the fixing holes 290 on the two second partitions 240, so as to realize the connection of the first winding wire section 210 and the second winding wire section 220.

[0049] Further, the peripheral wall of the winding drum 200 is inwardly recessed to form a constraint groove 260, and the first steel wire and the second steel wire can at least partially extend into the constraint groove 260.

[0050] Further, the constraint groove 260 is arranged in a spiral shape.

[0051] In the process of winding the steel wire on the winding drum 200, in order to enable the steel wire to be uniformly wound along the length direction of the winding drum 200, the spiral constraint groove 260 is arranged on the peripheral wall of the winding drum 200, and the steel wire can be partially embedded in the constraint groove 260, so as to guide and constrain the distribution of the steel wire through the constraint groove 260.

[0052] Further, the winding drum 200 has a center mounting hole 270, and a limiting protrusion 280 is arranged on the inner wall of the center mounting hole 270.

[0053] The peripheral wall of the output shaft 110 is inwardly recessed to form a limiting notch 111, and the limiting protrusion 280 can extend into the limiting notch 111.

[0054] Specifically, the combination of the limiting notch 111 and the limiting protrusion 280 realizes the locking of the output shaft 110 and the winding drum 200. When the output shaft 110 is driven to rotate by the driving member 100, the limiting protrusion 280 on the output shaft 110 can tightly abut against the side wall of the limiting notch 111 and drive the winding drum 200 to rotate together, thereby avoiding the slippage between the winding drum 200 and the output shaft 110.

[0055] Further, the limiting protrusions 280 and the limiting gaps 111 are in the shape of long strips, and the limiting protrusions 280 pass through both ends of the winding drum 200.

[0056] Specifically, the limiting protrusions 280 are in the shape of long strips passing through both ends of the winding drum 200, so that the action range of the limiting protrusions 280 covers the whole length of the winding drum 200, the locking force between the winding drum 200 and the output shaft 110 is greater, and the stress of each position of the limiting protrusions 280 is more uniform.

[0057] Further, chain wheels 300 are arranged at both ends of the output shaft 110, the chain wheels 300 are engaged with chains, and the chains are connected with the measuring mechanism.

[0058] Specifically, when the output shaft 110 is driven to rotate by the driving member 100, the output shaft 110 drives the chain wheels 300 to rotate, and then drives the chains engaged with the chain wheels 300 to move and pull the measuring mechanism to rise and fall.

[0059] Importantly, the steel wire lifting and the chain lifting are integrated in one lifting mechanism in the application, so that the user can select different lifting modes according to different use scenes. Meanwhile, the two lifting modes are driven by the output shaft 110 of one driving member 100, so that the integration degree is higher, the cost is lower, and the structure is more compact.

[0060] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement condition, etc. between components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the drawings), and if the specific posture changes, the directional indications also change accordingly.

[0061] In addition, in the present application, the description such as "first", "second", "one" and the like is only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited by "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0063] In addition, the technical solutions of various embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, but must be based on the realization of ordinary skilled in the art, when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, also not within the protection scope required by the present application.
