[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of underwater detection equipment, and in particular relates to a special disassembly tool for underwater acoustic shields. Background Technology

[0002] An acoustic shield is a critical underwater equipment component, primarily used to protect acoustic sensors or instruments while allowing sound waves to penetrate efficiently, ensuring the accuracy of underwater detection, communication, and data transmission.

[0003] Although acoustic shields are not directly involved in oil extraction, they serve as the "window" into underwater acoustic systems, and their performance directly impacts exploration accuracy, equipment lifespan, and operational safety. In the maintenance of underwater equipment in the oil industry, disassembling acoustic shields is an operation requiring extreme caution. Because acoustic shields are constantly exposed to high pressure, corrosive environments, and biofouling conditions, they are easily damaged during disassembly. Furthermore, the sharp edges of the metal parts can easily cut fingers during manual disassembly.

[0004] Therefore, we need to design a special disassembly tool for underwater acoustic shields to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0013] This configuration ensures stable power transmission through the interaction between the threaded sleeve and the lead screw.

[0014] Preferably, the pad is U-shaped and is installed on the sliding bracket and the fixed bracket respectively by fixing bolts.

[0015] This design allows it to be matched with sound-permeable covers of different sizes, making it highly versatile.

[0016] Preferably, the fixed bracket and the sliding bracket each have two clamping bolts, each clamping bolt penetrates the pad, and the two clamping bolts connected to the same pad are coaxially distributed.

[0017] This setup allows for quick and easy fixation of the sound-permeable cover onto the U-shaped pad.

[0018] Furthermore, a handle is provided at the end of the lead screw that passes through the support plate, and the handle extends radially through the lead screw.

[0019] This configuration provides assistance for the rotation of the lead screw, improving disassembly efficiency.

[0020] Preferably, the pad, the support plate, the fixed bracket, and the sliding bracket are all made of aluminum alloy.

[0021] This design reduces the weight of the equipment while also preventing damage from static electricity.

[0022] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0023] This invention utilizes a lead screw and threaded sleeve to drive the sliding bracket along the slide rod. The U-shaped pads on both the fixed and sliding brackets are detachably installed using fixing bolts, allowing for quick replacement.

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0034] Example 1: As shown in Figures 1-3, a special disassembly tool for an underwater soundproof cover includes a support plate 1 and a fixed bracket 4. The support plate 1 and the fixed bracket 4 are connected by a slide rod 2. A lead screw 5 and a sliding bracket 3 are also provided between the support plate 1 and the fixed bracket 4. One end of the lead screw 5 is rotatably connected to the fixed bracket 4, and the other end passes through the support plate 1. The sliding bracket 3 is slidably installed on the slide rod 2 and cooperates with the lead screw 5. A pad 6 and a clamping bolt 9 are provided on both the fixed bracket 4 and the sliding bracket 3.

[0035] The sliding bracket 3 moves along the slide rod 2 by using the transmission of the lead screw 5 and the threaded sleeve 8. The fixed bracket 4 and the U-shaped pad 6 on the sliding bracket 3 are detachably installed by fixing bolts 12. When in use, the size of the sound-permeable cover 14 to be removed can be selected, which can be quickly replaced and disassembled for different sizes of sound-permeable covers 14. It is highly versatile, labor-saving and efficient, avoiding damage to the sound-permeable cover 14 during disassembly and avoiding injury to the staff during disassembly.

[0036] Specifically, there are four sliding rods 2, and the line connecting the center points of the end faces of the four sliding rods 2 at the same end forms a rectangle, which makes the support more stable. Bearing mounting holes 11 are provided on both the support plate 1 and the fixed bracket 4, and support bearings 7 are fixedly installed in the bearing mounting holes 11. The lead screw 5 is connected to the support plate 1 and the fixed bracket 4 respectively through the support bearings 7. This arrangement facilitates the installation and fixation of the support bearings 7 and reduces space occupation. A threaded sleeve 8 is fixedly installed on the sliding bracket 3, and the lead screw 5 passes through the threaded sleeve 8 and cooperates with it. This arrangement ensures stable power transmission through the cooperation of the threaded sleeve 8 and the lead screw 5. The pad 6 is U-shaped and is installed on the sliding bracket 3 and the fixed bracket 4 respectively by fixing bolts 12. On the bracket 4, this arrangement allows it to match sound-permeable covers 14 of different sizes, providing strong versatility. The fixed bracket 4 and the sliding bracket 3 each have two clamping bolts 9, each penetrating the pad 6, and the two clamping bolts 9 connected to the same pad 6 are coaxially distributed. This arrangement allows for quick fixation of the sound-permeable cover 14 onto the U-shaped pad 6. Furthermore, a handle 10 is provided at the end of the lead screw 5 passing through the support plate 1, penetrating the lead screw 5 radially. This arrangement assists in the rotation of the lead screw 5, improving disassembly efficiency. The pad 6, support plate 1, fixed bracket 4, and sliding bracket 3 are all made of aluminum alloy, which reduces the weight of the equipment while preventing damage from static electricity.

[0037] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: As shown in Figure 4, which is a schematic diagram of the installation structure of the sound-permeable cover 14 and the mining equipment 13, before use, the disassembly tool is first placed horizontally to ensure that the force is evenly distributed during the disassembly process. Then, according to the size of the sound-permeable cover 14 to be disassembled, matching pads 6 are installed on the sliding bracket 3 and the fixed bracket 4, and the pads 6 are fixed with bolts. Then, the clamping bolt 9 is rotated so that the end of the clamping bolt 9 is removed from the inside of the pad 6. Then, the mining equipment 13 to be disassembled is placed on the disassembly tool, and the position is adjusted so that the clamping bolt 9 on the fixed bracket 4 is aligned with the disassembly slot 15 on the equipment. Then, the clamping bolt 9 on the fixed bracket 4 is rotated to fix the equipment. The clamping bolt 9 on the bracket 4 is inserted into the disassembly slot 15 on the equipment. Then, the screw 5 is rotated by the handle 10, and the sliding bracket 3 is moved along the slide rod 2 by the threaded sleeve 8 until the clamping bolt 9 on the sliding bracket 3 is aligned with the disassembly slot 15 on the sound-permeable cover 14. Then, the clamping bolt 9 on the sliding bracket 3 is rotated so that the clamping bolt 9 on the sliding bracket 3 is inserted into the disassembly slot 15 on the sound-permeable cover 14. Then, the handle 10 is rotated again, and the threaded sleeve 8 is moved along the screw 12 by the handle 10, so that the sliding bracket 3 is moved away from the fixed bracket 4. During this process, the sliding bracket 3 will remove the sound-permeable cover 14 that is fitted on the mining equipment 13, thus completing the disassembly of the sound-permeable cover 14.

[0038] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
