Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connecting wire technology, and in particular to a new type of waterproof deep-sea camera connecting wire. Background Technology

[0002] Deep-sea cameras are primarily used for underwater detection and operations, playing a crucial role. However, existing connection cables to deep-sea cameras often suffer from water leakage due to poor sealing at the connection point. Furthermore, the simple plug-in structure at the connection point allows the connection to detach when the camera moves underwater due to friction and other external factors, resulting in limited practicality.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN209344749U) for a novel waterproof design for a deep-sea camera connection cable. The cable includes a sheath, a connector, and multiple cables housed within the sheath. The connector is located at the end of the sheath and contains an adhesive layer. All cables pass through this adhesive layer. This device solves the problem of existing equipment failing to seal the connection between the camera and the cable with adhesive, thus preventing water from flowing through if the sheath is damaged. However, the device still has limitations in practical use; moving the camera can easily cause the connection to separate, reducing its usability. Utility Model Content

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0029] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0030] A new type of waterproof deep-sea camera cable, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown,

[0031] include:

[0032] The mounting base 3 has an embedded connecting wire at its bottom and a corresponding sealing structure at the connection between the connecting wire and the mounting base 3. The sealing structure adopts a multi-layer sealing ring or injection molding sealing structure to prevent water leakage when the camera 5 is submerged. The top of the mounting base 3 is connected to a connector 9. The connector 9 has a round hole inside. The round hole and the connector 9 are connected to the connector and column set inside the camera 5 to complete the electrical connection of the overall structure and facilitate use.

[0033] A housing 1 is slidably connected to the outside of the connector 9. A waterproof, deep-sea camera 5 is installed at the end of the housing 1. A sealing structure is provided at the connection between the housing 1 and the camera 5, using an O-ring or epoxy resin. A movable base 2 is connected to the bottom of the housing 1. A connecting seat 10 is provided in the middle of the movable base 2, which is slidably connected to the connector 9. A waterproof sealing ring is provided between the connector 9 and the connecting seat 10 to prevent water seepage along the connection interface. The bottom of the connecting seat 10 is welded to the top of the movable base 2, so that the movable base 2 can slide stably on the outside of the connector 9.

[0034] Two symmetrical fixing blocks 8 are fixed on the outer side of the connecting seat 10. The side walls of the two fixing blocks 8 are slidably connected to the limiting grooves 16. The limiting grooves 16 are L-shaped. Through the connection between the fixing blocks 8 and the limiting grooves 16, the connection between the fixing blocks 8 and the limiting grooves 16 is completed under rotation. The mating surfaces of the fixing blocks 8 and the limiting grooves 16 are provided with wear-resistant coatings to improve service life. The limiting grooves 16 are set inside the movable column 14. The side wall of the movable column 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. Through the connection between the housing 1 and the movable seat 2, under the action of the movable column 14, the sealing plate 13 set at the end of the movable column 14 and the housing 1 is kept connected to the sealing groove 7 at the top of the movable seat 2 to ensure the sealing of the connection and prevent water leakage during underwater use.

[0035] The movable column 14 can be rotated by a gear and rack mechanism, a worm gear mechanism or a servo motor to improve the degree of automation and operational accuracy.

[0036] The bottom of the fixed base 3 is provided with a mounting hole 6, and the inside of the movable base 2 and the housing 1 is provided with a threaded hole 11. The bolt 4 passes through the mounting hole 6 and the threaded hole 11 to complete the fixation of the above structure. It works in conjunction with the nut provided at the bottom of the movable base 2. The nut is connected to the bolt 4 to complete the fixation and locking of the movable base 2. The bolt 4 is made of stainless steel and the surface is treated with anti-corrosion, making it suitable for seawater environment.

[0037] To improve the stability of the connection between the movable base 2 and the bottom of the housing 1, two symmetrical connecting blocks 12 are provided on the top of the movable base 2. The side walls of the connecting blocks 12 are slidably connected to the rails. When the movable base 2 and the housing 1 are connected, the rails communicate with the sliding grooves 15 set inside the housing 1. Then, by moving the movable base 2, the connection between the connecting blocks 12 and the sliding grooves 15 is completed, thus completing the fixing and limiting. With the connection of the fixing block 8 and the limiting groove 16, the assembly of the device is completed.

[0038] To ensure the secure connection of the overall structure of the device, a movable groove 18 is provided inside the housing. Four support components 17 are installed inside the movable groove 18. The support components 17 include:

[0039] The side wall of the connecting post 171 is embedded inside the housing 1. The connection between the connecting post 171 and the housing 1 ensures the stability of the connection.

[0040] A support spring 172 is provided, and a matching damper is provided inside the support spring 172. One end of the support spring 172 is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the connecting column 172, and its side wall is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting column 172.

[0041] The connecting plate 173 is circular, and its sidewall slides against the inner wall of the connecting column 171. The bottom of the connecting plate 173 is fixed to the other end of the support spring 172.

[0042] Telescopic column 174 is located in the moving part of the support assembly 17 on the outer extension of the connecting column 171. The other end of the telescopic column 174 is fixed to the top of the connecting plate 173, and its side wall slides against the inner wall of the connecting column 171.

[0043] Through the above-described combination, the components of the support assembly 17 are completed. The support spring 172 is pre-compressed to ensure that the movable column 14 always has a downward clamping force to maintain a sealed contact. The movable column 14 is fixed to the moving part of the support assembly 17. The side wall of the movable column 14 is slidably connected to the housing 1, thereby completing the support for the movable column 14.

[0044] The movable column 14 can lock and release the fixed block 8 and the limiting groove 16 through an external rotating mechanism or manual rotation, which improves the convenience and reliability of operation. A flexible sealing ring or sealing compression ring can be set in the sealing groove 7 to enhance the sealing effect and adapt to different water pressure environments. The support component 17 can also adopt a pneumatic or hydraulic buffer structure to adapt to the stability requirements of deep water high pressure environment. The support component 17 shown in the figure is only one of the structures.

[0045] Working principle

[0046] When using this new waterproof design for the deep-sea camera cable, firstly, a rubber ring is placed inside the sealing groove 7 at the top of the movable base 2 to increase the sealing performance, and then the bottom of the housing 1 is connected to the movable base 2.

[0047] At this time, the sliding of the movable seat 2 on the outside of the plug 9 drives the connecting block 12 to move. Under the action of the movable column 14 and the support component 17, the splicing of the two is completed. Rotating the movable seat 2 causes the fixed block 8 to slide and rotate with the limiting groove 16 to complete the locking. At this time, the connecting block 12 is connected with the sliding groove 15.

[0048] Finally, the bolt 4 passes through the mounting hole 6 and is threaded into the threaded hole 11. With the help of the nut, the movable seat 2 is fixed and the connection is completed.
