Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of marine engineering technology, and in particular relates to an instrument control device for easy assembly on marine platforms. Background Technology
[0002] Instrument control units (ICS) for offshore platforms are critical automation equipment, primarily used to monitor and control the operational status of various mechanical and process equipment on the platform, ensuring its safe, efficient, and stable operation. These ICS collect real-time data from various sensors on the platform, such as pressure, temperature, flow rate, liquid level, and equipment operating status parameters, and transmit this data to the central control system. Due to the complex installation structure design of ICS in related technologies, requiring multiple steps, the installation process consumes a significant amount of time. Furthermore, the complex installation environment on offshore platforms means that delays in installation can lead to overall project delays. The unique environment of offshore platforms necessitates rapid resolution of equipment malfunctions. An inadequate installation structure makes disassembly or replacement in emergency situations extremely difficult, potentially delaying problem-solving and even causing greater losses. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the related technical problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] An instrument control device for easy assembly on an offshore platform includes a controller body, a sliding structure, a fixed structure, a mounting plate, a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, two quick-release connecting mechanisms, and two hoisting structures.
[0006] The mounting plate is disposed on the rear side of the controller body, and the mounting plate is connected to the controller body through the sliding structure;
[0007] The first connecting plate is disposed on the top of the controller body, and the second connecting plate is disposed on the top of the mounting plate. The second connecting plate is detachably connected to the first connecting plate through the fixing structure. Two quick-release connecting mechanisms are symmetrically disposed on the left and right sides of the fixing structure. The fixed end of the quick-release connecting mechanism is connected to the second connecting plate, and the disassembly end of the quick-release connecting mechanism is connected to the first connecting plate.
[0008] The two hoisting structures are arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides, and the hoisting structures are located on the upper side end face of the controller body.
[0009] Furthermore, the fixing structure includes a fixing bolt and a fixing base. The fixing bolt is located in the middle of the second connecting plate, and the fixing base is located in the middle of the first connecting plate. The fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the fixing base, and the first connecting plate is connected to the controller body through multiple connecting bolts.
[0010] Furthermore, the sliding structure includes two slide rails and two slide grooves. The two slide rails are symmetrically arranged on the rear end face of the controller body, and the two slide grooves are symmetrically arranged on the front end face of the mounting plate. Each slide rail corresponds to one slide groove for sliding engagement.
[0011] Furthermore, the quick-release connection mechanism includes a fixed protrusion and a ball catch. The fixed protrusion is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the first connecting plate, and the ball catch is disposed on the lower end face of the second connecting plate. The ball catch can be connected to the fixed protrusion.
[0012] Furthermore, the hoisting structure includes a side horizontal plate, a hanging plate, a bottom plate, and two shock-absorbing structures. The side horizontal plate is disposed on the side end face of the controller body, and the bottom plate is disposed on the lower end face of the hanging plate. The bottom plate is connected to the side horizontal plate through the two shock-absorbing structures, and the two shock-absorbing structures are symmetrically arranged front and rear.
[0013] Furthermore, the shock-absorbing structure includes a sliding rod, a limiting block, a shock-absorbing spring, and a buffer rubber pad. The buffer rubber pad is disposed on the upper end surface of the side horizontal plate. The sliding rod passes through the side horizontal plate and the buffer rubber pad and is threadedly connected to the bottom plate. The limiting block is disposed at the bottom of the sliding rod.
[0014] Furthermore, two reinforcing ribs are provided at the location where the side plate connects to the controller body.
[0015] Furthermore, the mounting plate has multiple elongated holes arranged in the middle for connection and fixation.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the instrument control device for easy assembly on offshore platforms described in this utility model has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. The quick-release connection mechanism achieves connection through the cooperation of a fixed protrusion and a ball-operated latch, greatly simplifying the installation and disassembly process compared to traditional bolts or welding. No additional complex tools are required during operation; simply snapping or unlocking the device completes the fixing or disassembly, significantly improving work efficiency. In offshore platform environments, installation and maintenance work needs to be completed as quickly as possible to reduce the risk of personnel exposure to harsh environments. The quick-release connection mechanism allows technicians to quickly complete equipment installation or replacement, reducing manual operation time and effectively saving labor costs and maintenance time. The snap-fit design of the quick-release connection mechanism is simple and intuitive to operate, reducing the risk of equipment failure caused by installation errors (such as misaligned threads, insufficient torque, etc.). The design of the ball-operated latch and fixed protrusion ensures a firm connection, automatically locking after assembly, helping to prevent loosening or improper installation.
[0018] 2. The fixed structure is connected to the fixed base via bolts and threads, providing high-strength connection performance and ensuring the stability of the control device in the high-vibration and high-impact environment of the offshore platform. The combination of the fixed base and the first connecting plate further enhances the overall support, reducing the risk of equipment loosening, falling off, or shifting. The bolts are located in the middle of the second connecting plate, working in conjunction with the threaded connection of the fixed base, allowing for quick installation and easy disassembly when needed. During routine maintenance or troubleshooting, the device can be removed with simple tools, improving the convenience and efficiency of assembly and disassembly.
[0019] 3. The lifting structure, through a combination of side cross plates, lifting plates, a base plate, and a shock-absorbing structure, provides a robust and reliable lifting point, avoiding the risk of equipment tilting or falling during lifting. This makes it particularly suitable for complex and demanding environments such as offshore platforms. Reinforcing ribs enhance the strength of the connection between the lifting structure and the controller body, significantly reducing the risk of structural damage caused by uneven lifting forces. The shock-absorbing structure within the lifting structure includes sliding rods, shock-absorbing springs, and buffer rubber pads, effectively absorbing the impact and vibration forces generated during lifting, reducing the possibility of damage to equipment components. The buffer rubber pads further reduce vibration transmission during lifting operations, protecting the precision instruments and electronic components inside the equipment from vibration. The symmetrically arranged shock-absorbing structure ensures the equipment maintains good balance after lifting, facilitating precise positioning. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0031] An instrument control device for easy assembly on offshore platforms, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a controller body 101, a sliding structure 401, a fixing structure, a mounting plate 301, a first connecting plate 801, a second connecting plate 500, two quick-release connecting mechanisms, and two hoisting structures 200. The mounting plate 301 is located at the rear of the controller body 101 and is connected to the controller body 101 via the sliding structure 401. The first connecting plate 801 is located at the top of the controller body 101, and the second connecting plate 500 is located at the top of the mounting plate 301. The second connecting plate 500 is detachably connected to the first connecting plate 801 via the fixing structure. Two quick-release connecting mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the fixing structure. The fixed end of each quick-release connecting mechanism is connected to the second connecting plate 500, and the detachable end is connected to the first connecting plate 801. Figure 4 As shown, multiple elongated holes 302 for connection and fixation are arranged in the middle of the mounting plate 301.
[0032] Two lifting structures 200 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides, and the lifting structures 200 are located on the upper side end face of the controller body 101. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the hoisting structure 200 includes a side horizontal plate 203, a hanging plate 201, a base plate 202, and two shock-absorbing structures 210. The side horizontal plate 203 is located on the side end face of the controller body 101, and the base plate 202 is located on the lower end face of the hanging plate 201. The base plate 202 is connected to the side horizontal plate 203 through the two shock-absorbing structures 210, which are symmetrically arranged front and rear. The shock-absorbing structure 210 includes a sliding rod, a limiting block, a shock-absorbing spring, and a buffer rubber pad 205. The buffer rubber pad 205 is located on the upper end face of the side horizontal plate 203. The sliding rod passes through the side horizontal plate 203 and the buffer rubber pad 205 and is threadedly connected to the base plate 202. The limiting block is located at the bottom of the sliding rod. Two reinforcing ribs 204 are provided at the connection position between the side horizontal plate 203 and the controller body 101.
[0033] The lifting structure 200, through the combination of side cross plates 203, lifting plates 201, base plates 202, and shock-absorbing structures 210, provides a robust and reliable lifting point, avoiding the risk of equipment tilting or falling during lifting. This makes it particularly suitable for complex and demanding environments such as offshore platforms. Reinforcing ribs 204 enhance the strength of the connection between the lifting structure 200 and the controller body 101, significantly reducing the risk of structural damage caused by uneven lifting forces. The shock-absorbing structure 210 in the lifting structure 200 includes sliding rods, shock-absorbing springs, and buffer rubber pads 205, effectively absorbing the impact and vibration forces generated during lifting, reducing the possibility of damage to equipment components. The buffer rubber pads 205 further reduce vibration transmission during lifting operations, protecting the precision instruments and electronic components inside the equipment from vibration. The symmetrically arranged shock-absorbing structures 210 ensure good balance after lifting, facilitating precise positioning of the equipment.

Fixing bolts 701 are located in the middle of the second connecting plate 500, and fixing bases 702 are located in the middle of the first connecting plate 801. Fixing bolts 701 and fixing bases 702 are threadedly connected. The first connecting plate 801 is connected to the controller body 101 via multiple fixing bolts 802. The threaded connection between the fixing bolts 701 and fixing bases 702 provides high-strength connection performance, ensuring the control device remains stable in the high-vibration, high-impact environment of the offshore platform. The combination of fixing bases 702 and the first connecting plate 801 further enhances the overall support, reducing the risk of equipment loosening, falling off, or shifting. The fixing bolts 701, located in the middle of the second connecting plate 500 and threadedly connected to the fixing bases 702, not only allow for quick installation of the equipment but also facilitate easy disassembly when needed. During routine maintenance or troubleshooting, the device can be removed with simple tools, improving the convenience and efficiency of assembly and disassembly.
[0035] The quick-release connection mechanism includes a fixed protrusion 602 and a ball catch 601. The fixed protrusion 602 is welded to the upper surface of the first connecting plate 801, and the ball catch 601 is located on the lower surface of the second connecting plate 500, connecting with the fixed protrusion 602. The quick-release connection mechanism achieves connection through the cooperation of the fixed protrusion 602 and the ball catch 601, greatly simplifying installation and disassembly compared to traditional bolts or welding. No additional complex tools are required during operation; simply snapping or unlocking the device completes the fixing or disassembly, significantly improving work efficiency. In offshore platform environments, installation and maintenance work needs to be completed as quickly as possible to reduce the risk of personnel exposure to harsh environments. The quick-release connection mechanism allows technicians to quickly complete equipment installation or replacement, reducing manual operation time and effectively saving labor costs and maintenance time. The snap-on design of the quick-release connection mechanism is simple and intuitive to operate, reducing the risk of equipment failure caused by installation errors (such as misaligned threads, insufficient torque, etc.). The design of the ball catch 601 and the fixing protrusion 602 ensures a firm connection and can automatically lock in place after assembly, helping to prevent loosening or improper installation.

The two slide rails are symmetrically arranged on the rear end face of the controller body 101, and the two slide grooves are symmetrically arranged on the front end face of the mounting plate 301. Each slide rail corresponds to a slide groove for sliding engagement.
