Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of multi-beam transducer mounting technology, and in particular to a multi-beam transducer mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] A multibeam transducer is an underwater acoustic detection device used to generate and receive sound waves for seabed topography mapping and underwater object detection. It emits a series of sound beams (or sound waves) in a fan-shaped pattern to cover the space directly below and to the sides of a vessel, while collecting seabed depth and reflection intensity data. After processing, this data can generate high-precision, high-resolution three-dimensional seabed topographic maps.

[0003] When conducting seabed exploration, a multibeam transducer needs to be fixed on a support frame during each exploration. Then, a crane on the ship is used to lower the multibeam transducer and the support frame together into the sea for exploration. However, the existing support frames for installing multibeam transducers are inconvenient to install and have poor fixing effect, making them prone to loosening. This makes the multibeam transducer unstable during seabed exploration.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a multi-beam transducer mounting bracket. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application proposes a multi-beam transducer mounting bracket to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. It achieves a snap-fit ​​connection through the meshing of toothed grooves and toothed blocks, utilizing the self-locking property of the grooves and blocks to make the connection between the clamp and the pipe connecting the multi-beam transducer more secure. A positioning mechanism further ensures the stable connection of the clamp, improving the safety of the multi-beam transducer body during seabed exploration. A fastening mechanism secures the pipe connecting the multi-beam transducer after installation, preventing the multi-beam transducer body from loosening during seabed exploration. This improves the installation stability of the multi-beam transducer body, allows for quick installation and convenient disassembly, and is highly practical, facilitating rapid installation and disassembly by workers and improving installation efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A multi-beam transducer mounting bracket includes a multi-beam transducer body, a pipe connecting the multi-beam transducer, and a mounting bracket structure. The multi-beam transducer body and the pipe connecting the multi-beam transducer are fixedly connected. The multi-beam transducer body is mounted on the mounting bracket structure through the pipe connecting the multi-beam transducer. The mounting bracket structure includes a bracket plate, a clamp, a fastening mechanism, a locking mechanism, and a positioning mechanism.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the clamp includes a first arc-shaped clamp and a second arc-shaped clamp, and the second arc-shaped clamp and the first arc-shaped clamp are rotatably connected;

[0009] By rotating the second arc-shaped clamp away from the first arc-shaped clamp, the gap between the first and second arc-shaped clamps is increased. Then, the pipe connecting the multi-beam transducer is clamped between the first and second arc-shaped clamps. Subsequently, the second arc-shaped clamp is rotated towards the first arc-shaped clamp, causing the first and second arc-shaped clamps to merge. This achieves the initial installation of the pipe connecting the multi-beam transducer, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the fastening mechanism includes a movable groove, an arc-shaped fastening block, a screw, a knob, and a sleeve. The movable groove is formed inside the second arc-shaped hoop, and the arc-shaped fastening block is disposed inside the movable groove.

[0011] The pipe connecting the multibeam transducer between the first and second arc-shaped clamps is tightened by arc-shaped fastening blocks to prevent the multibeam transducer body from loosening during seabed exploration, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a sleeve is fixedly connected to the outside of the second arc-shaped hoop, and a screw is threadedly connected to the inside of the sleeve. One end of the screw is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped fastening block, and the other end is fixedly connected to two knobs extending to the outside of the sleeve.

[0013] Rotating the screw clockwise with the knob moves it toward the first arc-shaped clamp, causing the arc-shaped fastening block to tighten the pipe connecting the multi-beam transducer between the first and second arc-shaped clamps. This improves the installation stability of the multi-beam transducer body and enhances the practicality of the device.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a U-shaped locking block, a toothed groove, and a toothed block, wherein the U-shaped locking block is sleeved on the mounting plates of the first arc-shaped hoop and the second arc-shaped hoop;

[0015] The U-shaped locking block is fitted from top to bottom onto the mounting plates of the first and second arc-shaped hoops, and the engagement is achieved through the meshing of the toothed groove and the toothed block, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the U-shaped locking block has multiple toothed grooves inside, and the mounting plates of the first and second arc-shaped clamps are provided with multiple toothed blocks, and each toothed block is engaged with the toothed groove.

[0017] By utilizing the self-locking property of the tooth groove and tooth block, the connection between the first arc-shaped hoop and the second arc-shaped hoop is made more secure, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes a mounting groove, a spring, a movable plate, a positioning block, and a positioning groove. The two mounting grooves are respectively opened inside the mounting plates on the first arc-shaped hoop and the second arc-shaped hoop. A set of springs is respectively installed inside the two mounting grooves. One end of each set of springs is fixedly connected to the movable plate, and the top ends of the two movable plates extend to the outside of the mounting plates of the first arc-shaped hoop and the second arc-shaped hoop.

[0019] When the positioning block aligns with the positioning groove, the spring reset will cause the positioning block to extend into the positioning groove, so that the U-shaped locking block is firmly installed on the mounting plates of the first and second arc-shaped hoops, thus making a stable connection between the first and second arc-shaped hoops and improving the practicality of the device.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning block is fixedly connected to the side of each of the two movable plates away from the spring. The U-shaped locking block has two positioning grooves inside, and the side of each of the two positioning blocks away from the movable plate extends into the positioning groove.

[0021] The positioning block is first squeezed by the U-shaped locking block and extended into the mounting groove by the compression spring. Then, when the U-shaped locking block is fully locked on the mounting plates of the first and second arc-shaped clamps, the practicality of the device is improved.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0023] 1. This multi-beam transducer mounting bracket is designed such that after the pipe connecting the multi-beam transducer is installed, the screw is rotated clockwise by a knob, causing the screw to move towards the first arc-shaped clamp. This causes the arc-shaped fastening block to tighten the pipe connecting the multi-beam transducer between the first and second arc-shaped clamps, preventing the multi-beam transducer body from loosening during seabed exploration. This improves the installation stability of the multi-beam transducer body, allows for quick installation and convenient disassembly, and is highly practical. It facilitates rapid installation and disassembly by workers, improving installation efficiency and greatly enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0024] 2. This multi-beam transducer mounting bracket is designed to achieve a snap-fit ​​connection through the meshing of toothed grooves and toothed blocks. The self-locking property of the toothed grooves and blocks ensures a more secure connection between the first and second arc-shaped clamps. During the installation of the U-shaped locking block, the positioning block is first pressed by the U-shaped locking block and extended into the mounting groove via a compression spring. Then, when the U-shaped locking block is fully engaged on the mounting plates of the first and second arc-shaped clamps, the positioning block coincides with the positioning groove. At this point, the spring resets the positioning block, causing it to extend into the positioning groove, thus firmly mounting the U-shaped locking block on the mounting plates of the first and second arc-shaped clamps. This secure connection improves the safety of the multi-beam transducer during seabed exploration and greatly enhances the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 A multi-beam transducer mounting bracket includes a multi-beam transducer body 1, a pipe 11 connecting the multi-beam transducer, and a mounting bracket structure 2. The multi-beam transducer body 1 and the pipe 11 connecting the multi-beam transducer are fixedly connected.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-4 The clamp 4 includes a first arc-shaped clamp 41 and a second arc-shaped clamp 42, which are rotatably connected to the first arc-shaped clamp 41. By rotating the second arc-shaped clamp 42 away from the first arc-shaped clamp 41, the gap between the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42 is increased. Then, the pipe 11 connecting the multi-beam transducer is clamped between the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42. Subsequently, the second arc-shaped clamp 42 is rotated towards the first arc-shaped clamp 41, so that the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42 are merged, and the pipe 11 connecting the multi-beam transducer is initially installed, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-4 The fastening mechanism 5 includes a movable groove 51, an arc-shaped fastening block 52, a screw 53, a knob 54, and a sleeve 55. The movable groove 51 is located inside the second arc-shaped clamp 42, and the arc-shaped fastening block 52 is installed inside the movable groove 51. The arc-shaped fastening block 52 is used to fasten the pipe 11 connecting the multi-beam transducer between the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42, preventing the multi-beam transducer body 1 from becoming loose during seabed exploration, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-4 The second arc-shaped clamp 42 is externally fixedly connected to a sleeve 55, and the sleeve 55 is internally threadedly connected to a screw 53. One end of the screw 53 is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped fastening block 52, and the other end is fixedly connected to two knobs 54 extending to the outside of the sleeve 55. By rotating the screw 53 clockwise through the knobs 54, the screw 53 moves towards the first arc-shaped clamp 41, which drives the arc-shaped fastening block 52 to fasten the pipe 11 connecting the multi-beam transducer between the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42, thereby improving the installation stability of the multi-beam transducer body 1 and enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-4 The locking mechanism 6 includes a U-shaped locking block 61, a toothed groove 62, and a toothed block 63. The U-shaped locking block 61 is sleeved on the mounting plates of the first arc-shaped hoop 41 and the second arc-shaped hoop 42. The U-shaped locking block 61 is sleeved on the mounting plates of the first arc-shaped hoop 41 and the second arc-shaped hoop 42 from top to bottom. The toothed groove 62 engages with the toothed block 63 to achieve a snap-fit, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-4 The U-shaped locking block 61 has multiple toothed grooves 62 inside, and the mounting plates of the first arc-shaped hoop 41 and the second arc-shaped hoop 42 are provided with multiple toothed blocks 63, and each toothed block 63 is engaged with the toothed groove 62. By utilizing the self-locking property of the toothed groove 62 and the toothed block 63, the connection between the first arc-shaped hoop 41 and the second arc-shaped hoop 42 is more secure, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0037] Reference Figure 1-4The positioning mechanism 7 includes a mounting groove 71, a spring 72, a movable plate 73, a positioning block 74, and a positioning groove 75. The two mounting grooves 71 are respectively opened inside the mounting plates on the first arc-shaped hoop 41 and the second arc-shaped hoop 42. A set of springs 72 is respectively installed inside the two mounting grooves 71. One end of each set of springs 72 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 73, and the top ends of the two movable plates 73 extend to the outside of the mounting plates of the first arc-shaped hoop 41 and the second arc-shaped hoop 42. When the positioning block 74 coincides with the positioning groove 75, the spring 72 will reset and drive the positioning block 74 to extend into the positioning groove 75, so that the U-shaped locking block 61 is firmly installed on the mounting plates of the first arc-shaped hoop 41 and the second arc-shaped hoop 42, and the first arc-shaped hoop 41 and the second arc-shaped hoop 42 are stably connected, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0038] Reference Figure 1-4 The two movable plates 73 are fixedly connected to the side away from the spring 72 with positioning blocks 74. The U-shaped locking block 61 has two positioning grooves 75 inside, and the side of the two positioning blocks 74 away from the movable plate 73 extends into the positioning grooves 75. The positioning blocks 74 are first squeezed by the U-shaped locking block 61 and extended into the mounting groove 71 through the compression spring 72. Then, when the U-shaped locking block 61 is completely locked on the mounting plate of the first arc-shaped hoop 41 and the second arc-shaped hoop 42, the practicality of the device is improved.

[0039] Working principle: In use, the multi-beam transducer body 1 is installed on the clamp 4 on the support plate 3 through the pipe 11 connecting the multi-beam transducer. First, the second arc-shaped clamp 42 is rotated away from the first arc-shaped clamp 41, increasing the gap between the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42. Then, the pipe 11 connecting the multi-beam transducer is clamped between the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42. Subsequently, the second arc-shaped clamp 42 is rotated towards the first arc-shaped clamp 41, causing the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42 to merge. Then, the U-shaped locking block 61 is clamped onto the mounting plates of the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42. The U-shaped locking block 61 is fitted onto the mounting plates of the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42 from top to bottom. It is engaged with the toothed block 63 through the meshing of the toothed groove 62. The self-locking property of the toothed groove 62 and the toothed block 63 makes the connection between the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42 more secure. During the installation of the U-shaped locking block 61, the positioning block 74 is first squeezed by the U-shaped locking block 61 and extended into the mounting groove 71 through the compression spring 72. Then, when the U-shaped locking block 61 is fully engaged on the mounting plates of the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42, the positioning block 74 coincides with the positioning groove 75. At this time, the spring 72 resets the positioning block 74, causing it to extend into the positioning groove 75, thus firmly installing the U-shaped locking block 61 on the mounting plates of the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42, securing a stable connection between the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42. After the pipe 11 connecting the multi-beam transducer is installed, the screw 53 is rotated clockwise by the knob 54 to... The screw 53 moves towards the first arc-shaped clamp 41, causing the arc-shaped fastening block 52 to tighten the pipe 11 connecting the multibeam transducer between the first arc-shaped clamp 41 and the second arc-shaped clamp 42, preventing the multibeam transducer body 1 from loosening during seabed exploration, thereby improving the installation stability of the multibeam transducer body 1. This installation structure is quick to install, easy to disassemble, and highly practical, making it convenient for workers to quickly install and disassemble, improving installation efficiency, and enhancing the safety of the multibeam transducer body 1 during seabed exploration.
