Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sonar monitoring technology, and in particular to a marine organism sonar monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Marine life refers to all organisms living in the ocean, including marine animals, marine plants, microorganisms, and viruses. These organisms can be divided into three major groups based on their living habits, locomotion abilities, and environments: planktonic organisms, nektonic organisms, and benthic organisms.

[0003] Currently, sonar monitoring equipment is commonly used to monitor marine life, which can not only provide important information about the behavior and distribution of marine organisms, but also support resource management and environmental protection decisions.

[0004] Existing marine biological sonar monitoring equipment includes sonar detectors and fish finders. The fish finder resembles a sphere, with the sonar device housed inside. In actual marine biological monitoring, it relies solely on its own gravity to settle, resulting in a slow settling speed. When exploring deeper waters, the time required to reach the set depth is lengthy, leading to a prolonged monitoring process and low efficiency. Therefore, improvements are proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention is a marine biological sonar monitoring device proposed to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a marine biological sonar monitoring device, comprising a spherical shell and a sonar device, wherein an annular air cavity is provided inside the spherical shell, and two bidirectional screws are symmetrically arranged inside the annular air cavity, and the bidirectional screws extend through the top wall of the annular air cavity to the interior of the spherical shell, and an electric V-belt drive assembly is installed between the two bidirectional screws.

[0007] The outer surfaces of the two bidirectional screws are jointly and sealed to two annular pistons, and the annular pistons are sealed and fitted to the inner wall of the annular air chamber. The outer surfaces of the two bidirectional screws are threaded with two sliders, and the sliders are fixedly connected to the adjacent annular pistons.

[0008] Two symmetrical air holes penetrating into the interior of the spherical shell are opened in the middle area of ​​one side of the inner wall of the annular air cavity.

[0009] Four support tubes are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the spherical shell;

[0010] The top opening of the spherical shell is sealed and fixedly connected with a cover plate;

[0011] The sonar device is fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the spherical shell.

[0012] Furthermore, both bidirectional screws are rotatably connected to the spherical shell in a sealed manner.

[0013] Furthermore, the electric V-belt drive assembly includes a motor, which is fixedly installed inside the spherical shell. The drive end of the motor is fixedly connected to a main synchronous pulley. A synchronous belt is engaged on the outer surface of the main synchronous pulley. Two auxiliary synchronous pulleys are symmetrically engaged on the inner surface of the synchronous belt, and the auxiliary synchronous pulleys are fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of adjacent bidirectional screws.

[0014] Furthermore, two rubber sleeves extending to the bottom are fixedly fitted to the top of each of the two annular pistons, and the rubber sleeves are threadedly fitted onto the outer surface of the adjacent bidirectional screws.

[0015] Furthermore, a waterproof cable connector is fixedly embedded in the top of the cover plate, and a safety rope hook is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the cover plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the two annular pistons are arranged symmetrically between each other.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] In use, this marine sonar monitoring device, through its annular air chamber, bidirectional screw, electric V-belt drive assembly, annular piston, air hole, slider, support tube, and cover plate, adopts the principle of a submarine. When sinking, it draws in water, increasing its overall weight, improving its sinking speed, and shortening the time it takes to reach the set depth, thereby improving monitoring efficiency.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a marine biological sonar monitoring device is disclosed, comprising a spherical shell 1 and a sonar device 10. An annular air chamber 8 is provided inside the spherical shell 1. Two bidirectional screws 9 are symmetrically arranged inside the annular air chamber 8, and the bidirectional screws 9 extend through the inner top wall of the annular air chamber 8 into the interior of the spherical shell 1. Both bidirectional screws 9 are sealed and rotatably connected to the spherical shell 1. The bidirectional screws 9 and the spherical shell 1 are connected by bearings. The inner ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the bidirectional screws 9, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the spherical shell 1. A sealing ring is fitted on the outer surface of the bidirectional screws 9, and the sealing ring is fixedly connected to the spherical shell 1 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the two.

[0028] An electric V-belt drive assembly is installed between the two bidirectional screws 9. The electric V-belt drive assembly includes a motor 7, which is fixedly installed inside the spherical shell 1. The drive end of the motor 7 is fixedly connected to a main synchronous pulley 6. A synchronous belt 16 is meshed on the outer surface of the main synchronous pulley 6. Two auxiliary synchronous pulleys 15 are symmetrically meshed on the inner surface of the synchronous belt 16. The auxiliary synchronous pulleys 15 are fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the adjacent bidirectional screws 9. The positional arrangement of the main synchronous pulley 6 and the auxiliary synchronous pulleys 15 can meet the transmission requirements of the synchronous belt 16.

[0029] Two bidirectional screws 9 are connected to two annular pistons 11 by a common sealing connection on their outer surfaces. Two rubber sleeves 14 are fixedly embedded at the top of each annular piston 11, extending to the bottom. The rubber sleeves 14 are threadedly fitted onto the outer surfaces of adjacent bidirectional screws 9. The rubber sleeves 14 ensure that the external threads of the bidirectional screws 9 can maintain a seal at the connection with the annular pistons 11, preventing gas and liquid leakage. The annular pistons 11 are also sealed and fitted to the inner wall of the annular air chamber 8. The two annular pistons 11 are symmetrically arranged. Two sliders 13 are threadedly fitted onto the outer surfaces of each bidirectional screw 9, and the sliders 13 are fixedly connected to the adjacent annular pistons 11.

[0030] Two vents 12, which penetrate into the interior of the spherical shell 1, are symmetrically opened in the middle area of ​​one side of the inner wall of the annular air cavity 8.

[0031] Four support tubes 2 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the spherical shell 1. The support tubes 2 provide auxiliary support when the whole is not in use, which facilitates the overall placement.

[0032] A cover plate 5 is sealed and fixedly connected to the top opening of the spherical shell 1. The sonar device 10 is fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the spherical shell 1. A waterproof cable connector 4 is fixedly embedded in the top of the cover plate 5. The waterproof cable connector 4 is electrically connected to the sonar device 10 and the motor 7. A safety rope hook 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the cover plate 5. The safety rope hook 3 facilitates the connection of the cover plate 5 with the existing safety rope used for auxiliary purposes.

[0033] Working principle: When it needs to be submerged, the safety rope and cable on the ship are connected to the safety rope hook 3 and the waterproof cable connector 4, respectively. The operation is controlled by the controller on the ship connected to the cable. Then, it is put into the water. When the spherical shell 1 is completely submerged, the motor 7 runs. The motor 7 drives the main synchronous pulley 6 to rotate. The main synchronous pulley 6 drives the two auxiliary synchronous pulleys 15 to rotate through the synchronous belt 16. The auxiliary synchronous pulleys 15 drive the connected double-headed screws 9 to rotate. The two double-headed screws 9 drive the two annular pistons 11 to move away from each other (initially, the two annular pistons 11 are located in the middle of the annular air chamber 8, which is relatively close) until the two annular pistons 11 are in contact with the top wall and bottom wall of the annular air chamber 8, respectively. Then, the motor 7 drives the two double-headed screws 9 to reverse through various components, thereby driving the two annular pistons 11 to reset and move towards the middle area of ​​the annular air chamber 1. This allows water to be pumped into the annular air chamber 1 through the support pipe 2, increasing the overall weight. When floating, the two annular pistons 11 are driven to separate, discharging the water in the annular air chamber 1, thereby reducing the pressure inside the spherical shell 1 and increasing the overall buoyancy.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it.
