Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inflatable boat testing technology, and in particular to a periodic testing device for inflatable boats. Background Technology

[0002] An inflatable rowboat is a watercraft designed with an inflatable structure as its core. It typically uses an inflatable structure, making it lightweight and portable. It can be used for paddling and rafting on the ocean, as well as for flatwater travel, and is convenient to carry and store. The sides and bow of an inflatable rowboat are made of flexible hoses filled with pressurized gas. Some sections of the hull feature a wide-body design and added stabilizing fins to increase the contact area with the water and improve the boat's stability.

[0003] In current inflatable boat inspection procedures, leaks are typically detected by applying soapy water to the surface of the boat using a spray bottle or brush. However, this method is prone to failing to detect all areas. Tiny cracks may exist at the adhesive or heat-sealed seams of the inflatable boat, making it difficult for soapy water to penetrate and be detected using spray bottles and brushes. Undetected leaks may suddenly expand due to pressure changes during navigation, causing the boat to deflate rapidly and increasing the risk of capsizing or drowning.

[0004] To address the issue of spray bottles and brushes failing to inspect all areas, a soapy water container is placed under the inflatable boat. The boat is then completely submerged in the soapy water using a telescopic device before being removed, ensuring that the entire surface is covered with soapy water. Complete immersion ensures that the soapy water penetrates into areas difficult to reach using traditional methods, such as internal seams and air chamber membranes, preventing hidden leaks between air chambers due to missed inspections. Furthermore, the pressure difference in high-pressure areas like the keel and side tubes accelerates soapy water penetration during immersion, making bubble formation more noticeable and reducing the risk of missed inspections. The immersion method also allows for a complete inspection of the entire boat in one go, significantly reducing inspection time.

[0005] However, in the existing testing process for inflatable rowboats, dust and impurities on the rowboat surface may fall into the soapy water during testing. Solid impurities such as sand and fibers in the dust will settle at the bottom of the container with the soapy water circulation. Long-term accumulation may clog the drain or circulation pump, leading to equipment malfunction. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a periodic inspection device for inflatable boats, which solves the problem that it is impossible to inspect all parts of an inflatable boat using a spray bottle and a brush.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A periodic inspection device for inflatable rowing boats includes an inflatable rowing boat body and a rowing handle. An inclined plate is provided at the top of the inflatable rowing boat body, and two insertion strips are provided at the bottom of the inflatable rowing boat body. The two insertion strips are inserted through the interior of the rowing handle. The inclined plate and insertion strips are used to secure the inflatable rowing boat body and facilitate soaking in soapy water. The insertion strips secure the inflatable rowing boat body, preventing it from shifting position during soapy water soaking.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a telescopic motor is provided at the top of the inclined plate, and a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic motor. The telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the inclined plate, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic motor. Two positioning plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the inclined plate along its central axis. The telescopic motor drives the telescopic rod to extend and retract, thereby causing the inclined plate to move up and down.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, two insertion slots are symmetrically formed on the surface of each positioning plate, and a rotating fixing slot is formed through the surface of one of the positioning plates. Two insertion strips are inserted through the insertion slots and into the rowing handle. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the middle of one side of the rotating fixing slot of each insertion strip. An arc-shaped strip is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod, and the arc-shaped strip is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating fixing slot along the center of the rotating rod. The rotatable connection between the insertion strips and the rotating rod ensures that the insertion strips will not shift position when locked in the insertion slots and the rowing handle.

[0011] As a further improvement of this invention, the inclined plate is tilted at an angle of 45°. This 45° tilt is designed to prevent the inflatable boat from forming air bubbles under pressure after entering soapy water. At a 45° tilt, the contact area between the boat and the water surface gradually increases, rather than being suddenly and completely submerged. This gradual contact reduces air resistance or water splashing caused by rapid immersion.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a soap water frame is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the telescopic motor. The soap water frame is located at the bottom of the inclined plate, and the opening of the soap water frame is larger than the length and width of the inclined plate. Sliding grooves are provided at each of the four corners of the soap water frame, and sliding blocks are slidably connected inside each sliding groove. The sliding grooves and sliding blocks allow the filter frame to remove impurities from the foamy water.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, a filter frame is fixedly connected to the center of the four sliding blocks. The filter frame has several filter holes in its center, and a removal plate is fixedly connected to the center of the filter frame. An abutment strip is fixedly connected inside the soap water frame, and the filter frame is positioned at the top of the abutment strip. The removal plate facilitates the removal of the filter frame and prevents contact between the inflatable boat body and the filter frame.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. The 45° tilted design of the inclined plate gradually disperses pressure, extending the lifespan of the inflatable boat. It also ensures the surface of the inflatable boat is completely covered with soapy water, allowing for quick detection of leaking products, significantly improving efficiency compared to traditional methods.

[0016] 2. Through the filter holes and filter frame, impurities adhere to the surface of the filter holes due to gravity or surface tension, thus quickly restoring the cleanliness of the soapy water and supporting multiple repeated tests. Furthermore, it shortens the single test cycle and avoids production interruptions caused by frequent changes in soapy water. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0026] See attached document Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 6 A periodic inspection device for an inflatable rowing boat includes 191, a filter hole 103, a filter frame 105, an inclined plate 204, an insert strip 208, an arc strip 210, an inflatable rowing boat body 301, and a rowing boat handle 302.

[0027] In use, the inflatable rowing boat body 301 to be tested is first placed between the positioning plates 205 at the bottom of the inclined plate 204. Then, the insertion slot 206 is aligned with the rowing handle 302. Two insertion strips 208 are then inserted through one end of the insertion slot 206, passing between the insertion slot 206 and the rowing handle 302 for fixation. Next, by rotating the rotating rod 209 between the two insertion strips 208, the arc-shaped strip 210 is secured into the rotating fixing slot 207, thereby limiting the inflatable rowing boat body 301 at the bottom of the inclined plate 204. Testing requires the inflatable rowing boat body 301 to be submerged in soapy water. The limiting structure allows adjustment of the rowing boat angle, enabling the soapy water to flow naturally to a lower position under gravity, more accurately reflecting the airtightness in actual use. Soap water testing often requires repeated operations. The modular design of the limiting structure allows for quick fixing and release of the inflatable boat body 301, shortening the single testing cycle and making it particularly suitable for batch testing scenarios.

[0028] When the telescopic motor 202 is activated, causing the telescopic rod 203 to push the inclined plate 204 downwards, the inclined plate 204, at a 45° angle, prevents water from splashing when the inflatable boat body 301 enters the soapy water frame 101, ensuring complete submersion of the inflatable boat body 301. At a 45° angle, the soapy water flows downwards along the surface of the inflatable boat body 301 under gravity, creating a natural rinsing effect. Furthermore, vertical immersion can cause localized deformation or pressure imbalance in the inflation chamber due to sudden force, while inclined immersion gradually disperses pressure, extending the service life of the inflatable boat body 301. During the testing of the inflatable boat body 301, the automatic immersion in soapy water via the 45° inclined plate 204 structure ensures complete coverage of the surface, allowing for rapid screening of leaking products, significantly improving efficiency compared to traditional methods.

[0029] After the inflatable boat body 301 is inspected, the dust and impurities adhering to its surface will enter the foam water and settle. Pulling the removal plate 104 will remove the filter frame 105. During the removal of the filter frame 105, impurities inside the soap water will adhere to the surface of the filter holes 103, thus cleaning the impurities inside the soap water. When the filter frame 105 is pulled up, the impurities adhere to the surface of the filter holes 103 due to gravity or surface tension, while the clean soap water flows back into the soap water container 101 through the pores of the filter holes 103, achieving "solid-liquid separation." This design can quickly restore the cleanliness of the soap water and supports multiple repeated tests. Traditional methods require manual pouring of soap water, filtering of impurities, or replacement of the liquid. This design, however, simultaneously completes impurity separation and liquid recovery through the lifting action. In batch testing scenarios, this design can shorten the single testing cycle and avoid production interruptions caused by frequent changes in soap water.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
