Detailed Implementation
[0019] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown:
[0021] A portable connection device for an ultrasonic depth sounder includes a hydrological lead weight 101, a base cover 102 disposed below the hydrological lead weight 101, and an ultrasonic depth sounder body 103 embedded and fixed on the lower surface of the base cover 102. A support rod 104 is fixed on the upper surface of the base cover 102, and a card seat 105 is fixed on the upper surface of the support rod 104.
[0022] The lower surface of the hydrological lead weight 101 is welded with a sleeve 106. A locking mechanism 2 is installed between the sleeve 106 and the base 105. The locking mechanism 2 includes a locking pin 205 fixed to the edge surface of the base 105. The edge surface of the sleeve 106 is provided with a locking groove 206 that matches the locking pin 205. The locking groove 206 is composed of an L-shaped groove and a vertical groove. A spring 202 is provided inside the sleeve 106. The sleeve 106 is also provided with an abutment plate 203. A telescopic sleeve rod 201 is fixedly installed between the abutment plate 203 and the sleeve 106. The spring 202 is wound around the surface of the telescopic sleeve rod 201, and the two ends of the spring 202 are fixedly connected to the abutment plate 203 and the sleeve 106, respectively.
[0023] In this embodiment: When using the portable connection device for the ultrasonic depth sounder, the ultrasonic depth sounder body 103 is conveniently installed and connected. The ultrasonic depth sounder body 103 is mounted on the base cover 102, and a support rod 104 is fixedly installed on the base cover 102. The locking pin 205 on the top of the support rod 104's retainer 105 is aligned with the vertical groove of the locking slot 206, locking the locking pin 205 into the top of the vertical groove of the locking slot 206. Simultaneously, the retainer 105 is inserted into the retainer 106, and at the same time, the contact plate 203 is compressed, causing the contact plate 203 to... The spring 202 and the telescopic sleeve 201 are compressed, and then the support rod 104 is screwed on, which in turn drives the card seat 105 and the locking pin 205 to rotate synchronously, so that the locking pin 205 is screwed into one end of the L-shaped groove of the locking groove 206. Then the upward push force on the support rod 104 is released. At this time, the spring 202 rebounds, driving the card seat 105 and the support rod 104 to move downward synchronously, so that the locking pin 205 is stuck at the bottom of the L-shaped groove of the locking groove 206 to limit the installation of the card seat 105, realize the connection between the card seat 105 and the card sleeve 106, and thus realize the installation of the ultrasonic depth sounder body 103.
[0024] This solution eliminates the need for traditional parts such as bolts and nuts, allowing users to quickly install the ultrasonic depth sounder with simple operations. This greatly improves installation efficiency, eliminates the risk of losing bolts and nuts, and ensures the integrity and reliability of the entire connection device. The snap-fit connection makes installation and connection more convenient and improves the device's performance.
[0025] It should be noted that all electrical equipment involved in this product is supplied by Hydrological Leadfish 101.
[0026] Furthermore;
[0027] In an optional embodiment, a circular groove is provided on the upper surface of the card holder 105, and a rotating disk 204 is disposed in the circular groove to fit and contact the contact disk 203. The rotating disk 204 is rotatably connected to the card holder 105 through a bearing.
[0028] In this embodiment: A rotating disk 204 is mounted on the card holder 105 via a bearing. When the card holder 105 presses and twists against the contact disk 203, the rotating disk 204 reduces the friction between the card holder 105 and the contact disk 203, thereby improving the smoothness of the support rod 104 driving the card holder 105 to rotate.
[0029] Furthermore;
[0030] In an optional embodiment, a screw 109 is hinged to the surface of the support rod 104 via a hinge seat, and an adjusting rod 107 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw 109. The adjusting rod 107 has a threaded groove that engages with the screw 109. A connecting ball 108 is welded to the bottom of the hydrological lead fish 101, and a slot that matches the adjusting rod 107 is formed on the surface of the connecting ball 108.
[0031] In this embodiment: the screw 109 is then folded, causing it to move in a circle around the hinge seat. The screw 109 drives the adjusting rod 107 to move, aligning it with the slot of the connecting ball 108. The adjusting rod 107 is then screwed, moving it on the screw 109 and screwing one end into the slot of the connecting ball 108. A triangular structure is formed by the support rod 104, the adjusting rod 107, the connecting ball 108, and the hydrological lead weight 101. The triangle provides stability, improving the stability of the support rod 104. The adjustment rod 107 and the connecting ball 108 also limit the movement of the support rod 104, thereby increasing the stability of the locking pin 205 in the locking groove 206 and improving the connection stability between the card seat 105 and the card sleeve 106.
[0032] Furthermore;
[0033] In an optional embodiment, the support rod 104 has a hollow structure design, and a rectangular opening 110 is provided on the outer surface of the support rod 104.
[0034] In this embodiment: the connecting wire of the ultrasonic depth sounder body 103 is passed through the inside of the support rod 104 and pulled out through the rectangular opening 110, and connected to the hydrological lead fish 101. The connecting wire is placed inside the support rod 104 to prevent tangling and to protect the connecting wire.
[0035] It should be noted that the main body 103 of the ultrasonic depth sounder is the SR100S water depth detector, and the connecting wires of the main body 103 of the ultrasonic depth sounder are sealed and fixedly installed inside the rectangular opening 110.
[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: When using this portable ultrasonic depth sounder connection device, the ultrasonic depth sounder body 103 is conveniently installed and connected. The ultrasonic depth sounder body 103 is mounted on the base cover 102, and a support rod 104 is fixedly installed on the base cover 102. The locking pin 205 on the top of the support rod 104's slot 105 is aligned with the vertical groove of the locking groove 206, locking the pin 205 into the top of the vertical groove of the locking groove 206. Simultaneously, the slot 105 is inserted into the sleeve 106, and at the same time, the contact plate 203 is pressed, causing the contact... The disc 203 compresses the spring 202 and the telescopic sleeve 201, and then the support rod 104 is screwed on, which in turn drives the card seat 105 and the locking pin 205 to rotate synchronously, so that the locking pin 205 is screwed into one end of the L-shaped groove of the locking groove 206. Then the upward push on the support rod 104 is released, at which point the spring 202 rebounds, driving the card seat 105 and the support rod 104 to move downward synchronously, so that the locking pin 205 is locked at the bottom of the L-shaped groove of the locking groove 206, thereby limiting the installation of the card seat 105, realizing the connection between the card seat 105 and the card sleeve 106, and thus realizing the installation of the ultrasonic depth sounder body 103.
