Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship data acquisition, and in particular to a ship data acquisition instrument. Background Technology
[0002] A ship data acquisition system is a device used to acquire and record ship operating status data in real time. It can collect information such as the ship's navigation status, speed, direction, and fuel consumption, providing ship managers with accurate decision-making basis, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of shipping operations.
[0003] Currently, ships typically use data acquisition devices to obtain operational status data during navigation. However, existing data acquisition devices are usually mounted on fixed poles and lack a mechanism for easy descent. As a result, if a data acquisition device installed at a high position is damaged, it becomes quite troublesome, requiring personnel to climb up and repair it with the aid of tools. Therefore, maintenance at sea carries a certain degree of danger. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ship data acquisition instrument that solves the problem that existing data acquisition instruments are usually installed on fixed poles without a mechanism to lower them. As a result, if the data acquisition instrument is damaged while installed at a high position, personnel need to use tools to climb up and repair it, which is dangerous for maintenance at sea.
[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] The data acquisition device is equipped with a lifting device, which includes a support chamber. A protective cover is installed between the data acquisition device and the support chamber. A threaded rod is installed under the data acquisition device and passes through the support chamber. A rotating chamber is rotatably installed inside the support chamber. Several ball bearings are rotatably installed between the support chamber and the rotating chamber.
[0007] The support chamber provides support, facilitating the installation of corresponding mechanisms. It also allows for the connection of the protective cover to the data acquisition unit. The protective cover protects the threaded rod without hindering its lifting and lowering. The threaded rod facilitates the lifting and lowering of the data acquisition unit, reducing its height and enabling easier maintenance in case of malfunction. The rotating chamber provides restraint, facilitating the installation of the turbine and ensuring its stability. The ball bearing mechanism ensures the stability and smoothness of the rotating chamber's rotation.
[0008] As an improvement, the support chamber and the rotating chamber are respectively provided with a first groove that matches the ball bearing, and a turbine is installed on the rotating chamber.
[0009] The first groove allows for better restriction of the ball's rotation, ensuring that the ball can only rotate within the first groove. This facilitates the rotation of the rotating chamber, which in turn drives the ball's rotation. The installation of the turbine facilitates rotation, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the threaded rod during rotation.
[0010] As an improvement, the threaded rod passes through the rotating chamber and the turbine, the threaded rod is matched with the turbine, and a rotating rod is rotatably installed inside the support chamber.
[0011] The installation of the rotating rod facilitates rotation, which in turn drives the worm gear to rotate. At the same time, the support compartment allows personnel to manually crank the rotating rod to make it rotate.
[0012] As an improvement, the rotating rod is installed through the support chamber, and a worm gear is mounted on the rotating rod, which meshes with the turbine.
[0013] The worm gear is installed to facilitate rotation based on the rotation of the rotating rod, thus facilitating the rotation of the turbine and enabling the turbine to control the lifting and lowering of the threaded rod.
[0014] As an improvement, a limiting block is fixedly installed inside the support chamber, and a second groove matching the limiting block is chiseled on the threaded rod.
[0015] The installation of the limiting block facilitates the control of the threaded rod, which can only rotate and rise as the turbine rotates. By controlling the limiting block, the threaded rod can rise in a straight line.
[0016] As an improvement, the lifting device is equipped with a check mechanism, which includes a connecting compartment fixedly installed on the support compartment. A gear is installed on the rotating rod, and a locking block is provided inside the connecting compartment.
[0017] The connecting compartment facilitates the installation of a support mechanism, which in turn allows for the installation of a gear control mechanism. The gear mechanism controls the rotation direction of the rotating rod, and the locking block easily engages with the gear, thus enabling the locking block to control the gear's rotation direction.
[0018] As an improvement, the snap-fit block is matched with the gear, the snap-fit block is disposed through the connecting compartment, and a spring is sleeved on the snap-fit block, the spring being disposed inside the connecting compartment.
[0019] The spring installation facilitates a buffering effect, and the spring's rebound allows the locking block to engage with the gear.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the corresponding mechanism can be set to drive the data acquisition device body to descend. Therefore, if the data acquisition device body is damaged, it will be easier to drive the data acquisition device body to descend, thus reducing the height of the data acquisition device body and making it easier for personnel to repair the data acquisition device body without the need for personnel to climb up for repairs with the help of tools.

[0027] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a lifting device 2 is installed under the main body 1 of the data acquisition instrument. The lifting device 2 includes a support chamber 201. A protective cover 202 is installed between the main body 1 of the data acquisition instrument and the support chamber 201. A threaded rod 203 is installed under the main body 1 of the data acquisition instrument. The threaded rod 203 passes through the support chamber 201. A rotating chamber 204 is rotatably installed inside the support chamber 201. Several ball bearings 205 are rotatably installed between the support chamber 201 and the rotating chamber 204.
[0029] The support chamber 201 provides support, facilitating the installation of corresponding mechanisms. It also allows for the connection of the protective cover 202 to the instrument body 1. The protective cover 202 acts as a shield, protecting the threaded rod 203 without hindering its lifting and lowering. The threaded rod 203 facilitates the lifting and lowering of the instrument body 1, reducing its height and making maintenance easier in case of malfunction. The rotating chamber 204 provides restraint, facilitating the installation of the turbine 206 and ensuring its stability. The rotating ball bearings 205 ensure the stability of the rotating chamber 204 and make its rotation smoother.
[0030] The support chamber 201 and the rotating chamber 204 are respectively carved with first grooves that match the ball bearings 205, and the rotating chamber 204 is equipped with a turbine 206.
[0031] The first groove facilitates the restriction of the rotation of the ball 205, allowing it to rotate only within the first groove. This makes it easier for the rotating chamber 204 to drive the ball 205 to rotate. The installation of the turbine 206 facilitates the rotation, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the threaded rod 203 during rotation.
[0032] A threaded rod 203 is installed through the rotating chamber 204 and the turbine 206. The threaded rod 203 is matched with the turbine 206. A rotating rod 207 is rotatably installed inside the support chamber 201.
[0033] The installation of the rotating rod 207 facilitates rotation, which in turn drives the worm gear 208 to rotate. At the same time, the rod passes through the support chamber 201, making it convenient for personnel to manually crank the rotating rod 207 to make it rotate.
[0034] A rotating rod 207 is installed through the support chamber 201, and a worm gear 208 is installed on the rotating rod 207. The worm gear 208 meshes with the turbine 206.
[0035] The installation of the worm gear 208 facilitates rotation based on the rotation of the rotating rod 207, thus facilitating the rotation of the turbine 206 and enabling the turbine 206 to control the lifting and lowering of the threaded rod 203.
[0036] A limiting block 209 is fixedly installed inside the support chamber 201, and a second groove matching the limiting block 209 is carved on the threaded rod 203.
[0037] The installation of the limiting block 209 facilitates the control of the threaded rod 203. The threaded rod 203 can only rotate and rise when the turbine 206 rotates. By controlling the limiting block 209, the threaded rod 203 can rise in a straight line.
[0038] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, a check mechanism 3 is installed on the lifting device 2. The check mechanism 3 includes a connecting chamber 301, which is fixedly installed on the support chamber 201. A gear 302 is installed on the rotating rod 207, and a locking block 303 is provided inside the connecting chamber 301.
[0039] The connecting compartment 301 provides support and facilitates the installation of a mechanism that controls the gear 302. The gear 302 allows control of the rotation direction of the rotating rod 207, and the locking block 303 can be easily engaged with the gear 302, thus enabling the locking block 303 to control the rotation direction of the gear 302.
[0040] The snap-fit block 303 is matched with the gear 302. The snap-fit block 303 is set through the connecting chamber 301. A spring 304 is sleeved on the snap-fit block 303 and is located inside the connecting chamber 301.
[0041] The installation of spring 304 facilitates the buffering effect, and the rebound of spring 304 can drive the locking block 303 to engage with gear 302.
[0042] During use, when the data acquisition unit 1 is damaged and requires repair, to lower its height, the rotating rod 207 can be cranked to rotate the worm gear 208. The rotation of the worm gear 208 then drives the turbine 206 to rotate. When the turbine 206 rotates, it causes the rotating chamber 204 to rotate within the support chamber 201. At this time, the ball bearings 205 roll, ensuring the stability of the turbine 206 and the rotating chamber 204. When the turbine 206 rotates, it causes the threaded rod 203 to descend. To ensure a straight descent of the threaded rod 203, a limiting block 209 restricts its movement. This restriction causes the data acquisition unit 1 to descend linearly according to the rotation of the turbine 206, thus lowering its height and facilitating maintenance. During maintenance, as the threaded rod 203 descends, the protective cover 202 folds up, protecting the threaded rod 203. To prevent the worm gear 208 from rotating in the opposite direction, the rotating rod 207 drives the gear 302 to rotate. When the gear 302 rotates in one direction, it pushes the locking block 303, which then retracts into the connecting chamber 301, compressing the spring 304. The spring 304 then rebounds, locking the locking block 303 into the gear 302, allowing the gear 302 to rotate only in one direction. This effectively prevents the worm gear 208 from rotating on its own. After maintenance, the data acquisition unit 1 needs to be raised. The locking block 303 can then be pulled upwards, moving it away from the gear 302. Simultaneously, rotating the rotating rod 207 in the opposite direction raises the threaded rod 203.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model patent and is not intended to limit this utility model patent. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model patent should be included within the protection scope of this utility model patent.
