Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine surveying equipment technology, specifically a seabed topography surveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Seabed topographic mapping is a crucial foundational task for marine resource exploration, waterway maintenance, seabed engineering construction, and scientific research. Currently, seabed topographic mapping generally relies on sonar detection, and unmanned surface vessels (USVs) are frequently used to carry the detection equipment.

[0003] To ensure the stability of the detection and reduce the impact of ocean waves, trimaran unmanned surface vessels (USVs) are generally used. However, trimaran vessels are quite wide, and for ease of transport and handling, they are usually designed to be modular. This modular design requires pre-installation before use, which is time-consuming. Furthermore, the communication, positioning, and camera equipment on the top of the hull lacks protection and is easily damaged during transport. It also increases the overall height of the equipment and makes securing it more difficult. Disassembling the equipment before transporting it would also increase the preparation time. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a seabed topographic mapping device.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0006] A seabed topographic mapping device, comprising:

[0007] The surveying vessel includes a main hull, with auxiliary hulls mounted on both sides of the main hull via folding brackets. The auxiliary hulls can be folded upwards to a vertical position using the folding brackets. A surveying through hole is vertically oriented through the middle of the main hull, and a surveying component is provided in the center of the top surface of the surveying through hole. The surveying component includes a gantry frame, which is rotatable, and surveying equipment is mounted on the gantry frame.

[0008] Preferably, the folding bracket includes a fixed bracket, one side of which is fixedly connected to the side of the auxiliary hull, and the other end is rotatably connected to the main hull.

[0009] Preferably, a first diagonal brace is rotatably installed at the center of the top surface of the auxiliary hull. When the auxiliary hull is in a horizontal state, the end of the first diagonal brace is fixedly connected to a first fixing frame by a first fixing pin. The first fixing frame is fixedly installed on the top side of the main hull.

[0010] Preferably, a second fixed frame is provided at the middle of the top surface of the main hull, and when the auxiliary hull is rotated upward to a vertical position, the first diagonal brace can be fixedly connected to the second fixed frame through the first fixed pin.

[0011] Preferably, a support rod is rotatably mounted on the side of the gantry frame. When the gantry frame is in a vertical state, a third fixing frame is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod by a second fixing pin. The third fixing frame is fixedly installed on the top surface of the main hull.

[0012] Preferably, a fourth fixing frame is installed on the top surface of the main hull, and when the gantry is in a horizontal state, the end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the fourth fixing frame through a second fixing pin.

[0013] Preferably, a telescopic rod is vertically installed in the middle of the gantry frame, and the surveying equipment is fixedly installed at the movable end of the telescopic rod. When the telescopic rod is working, it can drive the surveying equipment to move downward through the surveying through hole.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention utilizes a fixed bracket in conjunction with a first diagonal brace to fix the auxiliary hull. By changing the fixed position of the top of the first diagonal brace, the attitude of the auxiliary hull can be changed, facilitating the transportation of the surveying vessel. By setting a rotatable gantry and installing the surveying equipment on the gantry, the surveying vessel can be transported by leveling the gantry. When the auxiliary hull is rotated to a vertical position and the gantry is level, the auxiliary hull can provide protection for the surveying equipment. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention will describe the above technical solution in detail through the following embodiments:

[0028] A seabed topographic mapping device, comprising:

[0029] The surveying vessel 1 includes a main hull 11. Auxiliary hulls 12 are installed on both sides of the main hull 11 via folding brackets 2. The auxiliary hulls 12 can be folded upwards to a vertical position using the folding brackets 2. A surveying through hole 14 is vertically provided in the middle of the main hull 11. A surveying component 3 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the surveying through hole 14. The surveying component 3 includes a gantry 31. The gantry 31 is rotatable and a surveying device 39 is installed on the gantry 31.

[0030] The main hull 11 is higher than the auxiliary hull 12. When in use, the auxiliary hull 12 floats on the water surface, while the main hull 11 does not come into contact with the water surface.

[0031] The auxiliary hull 12 is equipped with a propulsion assembly 13 at the rear of its bottom surface. The propulsion assembly 13 is a combination of an electric motor and a propeller. The electric motor drives the propeller to work, thereby driving the surveying vessel 1 forward.

[0032] The propulsion assembly 13 is powered by batteries, which can be installed inside the main hull 11 and auxiliary hull 12. This is a well-established technology and is therefore not shown in the figure.

[0033] The folding bracket 2 includes a fixed bracket 21, one side of which is fixedly connected to the side of the auxiliary hull 12, and the other end is rotatably connected to the main hull 11.

[0034] The fixed bracket 21 is L-shaped, with its short side fixed to the auxiliary hull 12 by bolts, and its long side end rotatably connected to the middle of the side of the main hull 11 by a hinge.

[0035] A first diagonal brace 22 is rotatably installed at the middle of the top surface of the auxiliary hull 12. When the auxiliary hull 12 is in a horizontal state, the end of the first diagonal brace 22 is fixedly connected to a first fixing bracket 23 through a first fixing pin 24. The first fixing bracket 23 is fixedly installed on the top side of the main hull 11.

[0036] When the end of the first diagonal brace 22 is fixedly connected to the first fixed frame 23 through the first fixed pin 24, the first diagonal brace 22 and the fixed bracket 21 cooperate with the side of the main hull 11 to form a triangle, thereby supporting the auxiliary hull 12. At this time, the auxiliary hull 12 is horizontally located on both sides of the main hull 11.

[0037] The main hull 11 has a second fixed frame 25 at the middle of its top surface. When the auxiliary hull 12 is rotated upward to a vertical position, the first diagonal brace 22 can be fixedly connected to the second fixed frame 25 through the first fixed pin 24.

[0038] When the end of the first diagonal brace 22 is fixedly connected to the second fixed frame 25 through the first fixed pin 24, the first diagonal brace 22 and the fixed bracket 21 cooperate with the top surface of the main hull 11 to form a triangle, thereby supporting the auxiliary hull 12. At this time, the auxiliary hull 12 is vertically located on both sides of the main hull 11.

[0039] A support rod 32 is rotatably mounted on the side of the gantry 31. When the gantry 31 is in a vertical state, the end of the support rod 32 is fixedly connected to a third fixing frame 33 by a second fixing pin 35. The third fixing frame 33 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the main hull 11.

[0040] When the end of the support rod 32 is fixedly connected to the third fixed frame 33 through the second fixed pin 35, the gantry 31 is in a vertical state. At this time, the gantry 31, the support rod 32 and the top surface of the main hull 11 form a triangle, which can support the gantry 31 and restrict the rotation of the gantry 31.

[0041] A fourth fixed frame 34 is installed on the top surface of the main hull 11. When the gantry 31 is in a horizontal state, the end of the support rod 32 is fixedly connected to the fourth fixed frame 34 through the second fixed pin 35.

[0042] When the support rod 32 is fixedly connected to the fourth fixed frame 34, the gantry 31 is in a horizontal state. At this time, the gantry 31, the support rod 32 and the top surface of the main hull 11 form a triangle, which can prevent the gantry 31 from rotating upward.

[0043] A telescopic rod 38 is vertically installed in the middle of the gantry frame 31. The surveying equipment 39 is fixedly installed at the movable end of the telescopic rod 38. When the telescopic rod 38 is working, it can drive the surveying equipment 39 to move downward through the surveying through hole 14.

[0044] The telescopic rod 38 is a known electric telescopic rod. When the gantry 31 is perpendicular to the top surface of the main hull 11, the telescopic rod 38 is located directly above the middle of the surveying through hole 14. When the telescopic rod 38 is working, it can drive the surveying equipment 39 to move in the vertical direction. When the surveying equipment 39 moves downward, it can be inserted into the water for surveying. When the surveying equipment 39 moves upward, it can be removed from the water surface for easy storage.

[0045] A camera assembly 36 is fixedly mounted on the top center of the gantry 31 with screws. The camera assembly 36 uses a known camera and is used to photograph the sea surface near the surveying vessel 1. Communication assemblies 37 are symmetrically mounted on both sides of the camera assembly 36. The communication assemblies 37 use known antennas and are used for communication and data exchange with external control equipment.

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] Under transport status:

[0048] The end of the first diagonal brace 22 is fixedly connected to the second fixed frame 25 through the first fixing pin 24. At this time, the auxiliary hull 12 is vertically located on both sides of the main hull 11.

[0049] Meanwhile, the support rod 32 is fixedly connected to the fourth fixed frame 34, and the gantry 31, camera component 36, communication component 37, and telescopic rod 38 are in a horizontal state. At this time, the auxiliary hull 12 is higher than the gantry 31, and the auxiliary hull 12 can provide protection for the mapping component 3.

[0050] The first fixing frame 23 can be used to connect with the cable, which facilitates the fixed transportation of the surveying vessel 1.

[0051] When using:

[0052] First, release the first diagonal brace 22 from the second fixed frame 25, rotate the auxiliary hull 12 downwards to a horizontal position, and then fix the first diagonal brace 22 to the first fixed frame 23.

[0053] Then, release the support rod 32 from the fourth fixed frame 34, rotate the gantry frame 31 to a vertical position, and then fix the support rod 32 to the third fixed frame 33 to fix the gantry frame 31.

[0054] The surveying vessel 1 is placed in the sea area to be surveyed, the telescopic boom 38 is extended, and the surveying equipment 39 is placed in the water.

[0055] The survey vessel 1 is moved by the propulsion component 13 to achieve surveying.
