Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ship deployment and marine equipment recovery technology, specifically relating to a submersible deployment and recovery guidance device. Background Technology
[0002] Submersible vehicles are one of the main pieces of equipment for marine scientific research, marine environmental monitoring, and marine mineral resource exploration. To conduct various underwater scientific exploration activities using submersibles, a submersible deployment and recovery system must be installed on the deck of the research vessel, enabling it to deploy submersibles into the open ocean and recover them after use. The deployment and recovery of submersibles are heavily influenced by sea conditions, especially during the recovery phase, where unpredictable and severe sea conditions are highly likely. Forcing recovery under adverse sea conditions poses a significant threat to the safety of personnel and equipment.
[0003] Chinese patent application CN202022581872.5 discloses a deployment and recovery system for a submersible. The system includes: a guide rail; a sliding base mounted on the guide rail; a boom mounted on the sliding base; a telescopic boom mounted on the boom; a portal frame with both ends sliding within the cavities of the telescopic boom; an anti-sway device mounted on the portal frame; and a hydraulic drive system for driving the sliding base, boom, telescopic boom, portal frame, and anti-sway device. This deployment and recovery system employs a folding and telescopic connection, requiring virtually no umbilical cable assistance. The submersible is connected to the anti-sway device, which is directly connected to the portal frame. The system structure features both folding and telescopic functions. The ends of the portal frame can extend directly to a position very close to the sea surface or even above it. The entire system does not require umbilical cable assistance, preventing the submersible from swaying during deployment and recovery in harsh sea conditions, thus protecting the safety of personnel and equipment.
[0004] 1. The aforementioned patent has the problem of not being able to adjust the deployment angle. During long-distance operations, it is necessary to adjust the deployment and recovery angle to ensure that the submersible recovery operation can proceed smoothly. 2. The aforementioned patent has the problem of not being able to limit the submersible's movement. After the submersible is recovered from the water, it may slip on the guide rail, causing a safety accident. Utility Model Content

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.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5The present invention provides the following technical solution: a submersible deployment and recovery guide device, including a mother ship deck 1, a rotating mechanism 2 is provided at the top center of the mother ship deck 1, a guide rail 3 is provided at the top of the rotating mechanism 2, a boom body 4 is provided on the outside of the guide rail 3, an anti-sway device 5 is provided on one side of the boom body 4, a submersible shell 6 is provided on the side of the anti-sway device 5, a submersible base 7 is provided on the top side of the mother ship deck 1 away from the rotating mechanism 2, and a limit mechanism 8 is provided on the outside of the submersible base 7.
[0024] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 2 includes a rotating shaft 21, a load-bearing plate 22, a first gear 23, a second gear 24, a motor 25, a limiting groove 26, and a sliding assembly 27. The top of the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the load-bearing plate 22, and the top of the load-bearing plate 22 is fixedly connected to the guide rail 3. The lower outer end of the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the first gear 23. A limiting groove 26 is provided on the top of the mother ship deck 1 near the first gear 23. The bottom of the rotating shaft 21 is provided with the sliding assembly 27. The outer side of the first gear 23 is provided with the second gear 24, and the top of the second gear 24 is provided with the motor 25.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating shaft 21 is locked in the limiting groove 26, which can prevent the rotating shaft 21 from tilting when hoisting the submersible shell 6. Gear 1 23 and gear 24 mesh with each other, and the motor 25 drives gear 24 to rotate. Through the meshing motion, gear 1 23 and rotating shaft 21 are driven to rotate, thereby causing the load-bearing plate 22 and guide rail 3 to rotate, so as to change the placement angle. The sliding component 27 can reduce friction during rotation.
[0026] Specifically, the sliding assembly 27 includes a rotating rod 271, a sliding groove 272, and a ball bearing 273. The top of the rotating rod 271 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 21, and the bottom of the rotating rod 271 is provided with a ball bearing 273. The sliding groove 272 is provided on the side of the mother ship deck 1 below the ball bearing 273.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rotating shaft 21 rotates, the rotating rod 271 can rotate along the slide groove 272, while the ball 273 slides at the bottom of the slide groove 272, reducing the resistance when the rotating shaft 21 rotates.
[0028] Specifically, a waterproof cover 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the mother ship deck 1 on the side near the motor 25.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the waterproof cover 9 reduces the probability of water ingress and damage to the motor 25.
[0030] In this embodiment, the motor 25 is connected to an external power source. The submersible shell 6 is deployed and retrieved via the boom body 4 and the anti-sway device 5. After retrieval, the submersible shell 6 is placed on the submersible base 7. The rotating shaft 21 is locked in the limiting groove 26 to prevent it from tilting during the hoisting of the submersible shell 6. Gear 1 23 and gear 24 mesh with each other. The motor 25 drives gear 24 to rotate. Through the meshing motion, gear 1 23 and the rotating shaft 21 rotate, thereby causing the load-bearing plate 22 and the guide rail 3 to rotate, thus changing the deployment angle. When the rotating shaft 21 rotates, the rotating rod 271 can rotate along the slide groove 272. At the same time, the ball bearing 273 slides at the bottom of the slide groove 272, reducing the resistance when the rotating shaft 21 rotates. The waterproof cover 9 reduces the probability of water damage to the motor 25. By indirectly driving the load-bearing plate 22 to rotate through the motor 25, the deployment angle can be automatically changed.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the limiting mechanism 8 includes a hydraulic cylinder 81, a baffle 82, a limiting plate 83, and a cleaning plate 84. The baffle 82 is fixedly connected to one side of the hydraulic cylinder 81, the limiting plate 83 is fixedly connected to the side of the submersible base 7 away from the hydraulic cylinder 81, and the cleaning plate 84 is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle 82 close to the hydraulic cylinder 81.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, after the boom body 4 recovers the submersible shell 6, the submersible shell 6 will stop on the submersible base 7. The hydraulic cylinder 81 drives the baffle 82 to slide on the submersible base 7, thereby pressing against the submersible shell 6 and clamping the submersible shell 6 together with the limiting plate 83. The cleaning plate 84 is triangular in shape and can remove algae and debris above the submersible base 7 during sliding.
[0034] Specifically, a lower sliding plate 85 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the submersible base 7, and a drainage channel 86 is provided on the side of the mother ship deck 1 near the lower sliding plate 85.
[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the moisture on the surface of the submersible shell 6 will be discharged to the outside through the drainage channel 86 along the lower slide plate 85.
[0036] In this embodiment, after the boom body 4 has retrieved the submersible shell 6, the submersible shell 6 will stop on the submersible base 7. The hydraulic cylinder 81 drives the baffle 82 to slide on the submersible base 7, thereby pressing against the submersible shell 6. Together with the limiting plate 83, the baffle 82 clamps the submersible shell 6. The cleaning plate 84 is triangular in shape and can remove algae and debris above the submersible base 7 during sliding. The water on the surface of the submersible shell 6 will be discharged to the outside through the drainage channel 86 along the lower slide plate 85. The baffle 82 driven by the hydraulic cylinder 81 to press against the submersible shell 6 can achieve the effect of limiting and protecting it.
[0037] The structure and operating principle of the mother ship deck 1, guide rail 3, boom body 4, anti-sway device 5, submersible shell 6 and submersible base 7 in this utility model have been disclosed in a deployment and recovery system for a submersible disclosed in Chinese patent application number CN202022581872.5.
[0038] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using this utility model, the motor 25 is connected to an external power source. The submersible shell 6 is deployed and retrieved through the boom body 4 and the anti-sway device 5. After retrieval, the submersible shell 6 is placed on the submersible base 7. The rotating shaft 21 is locked in the limiting groove 26 to prevent the rotating shaft 21 from tilting up when hoisting the submersible shell 6. Gear 1 23 and gear 24 mesh with each other. The motor 25 drives gear 24 to rotate. Through the meshing motion, gear 1 23 and rotating shaft 21 rotate, thereby causing the load-bearing plate 22 and guide rail 3 to rotate, achieving the purpose of changing the deployment angle. When the rotating shaft 21 rotates, the rotating rod 271 can rotate along the slide groove 272, while the ball bearing 273 slides at the bottom of the slide groove 272. The rotating shaft 21 is less obstructed when rotating, and the waterproof cover 9 reduces the probability of water damage to the motor 25. The load-bearing plate 22 is indirectly driven to rotate through the motor 25, which can automatically change the deployment angle. After the boom body 4 recovers the submersible shell 6, the submersible shell 6 will stop on the submersible base 7. The hydraulic cylinder 81 drives the baffle 82 to slide on the submersible base 7, thereby pressing against the submersible shell 6. Together with the limit plate 83, the baffle 84 is triangular in shape and can remove algae and debris above the submersible base 7 during sliding. The water on the surface of the submersible shell 6 will be discharged to the outside through the drainage channel 86 along the slide plate 85. The baffle 82 driven by the hydraulic cylinder 81 to press against the submersible shell 6 can play a limiting and protective role.
