Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0040] Reference Figures 1-7 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a sonar probe fixing device is proposed, including a mounting bracket 1, a connector 2, a ring 3, a connecting rod 4, and a bracket 5, wherein:

[0041] The mounting bracket 1 is detachably connected to the hull 100 or the hull 100 connecting bracket;

[0042] The connector 2 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 1 and rotates along the first plane. The axis of the connecting rod 4 is located on the first plane, and the rotating shaft 23 of the connector 2 is perpendicular to the first plane. The connector 2 is provided with a locking structure 21, which can lock with the mounting frame 1 at a specified angle.

[0043] The ring sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the connector 2; the ring sleeve 3 and the connector 2 can be welded together or connected by bolts.

[0044] The connecting rod 4 is slidably installed in the ring sleeve 3 and can be locked with the ring sleeve 3 at a specified length position; the connecting rod 4 can rotate around the ring sleeve 3 in a second plane, the second plane being perpendicular to the first plane;

[0045] The bracket 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod 4 along the radial direction, and the sonar probe 200 is fixedly installed on the bracket 5. The length direction of the bracket 5 is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting rod 4.

[0046] The sonar probe fixing device proposed in this embodiment is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 1 via the connector 2 and rotates along the first plane. The ring sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the connector 2. The connecting rod 4 is slidably mounted in the ring sleeve 3 and can be locked with the ring sleeve 3 at a specified length position. The connecting rod 4 can rotate around the ring sleeve 3 in a second plane, which is perpendicular to the first plane. The bracket 5 is fixedly mounted on one end of the connecting rod 4, and the sonar probe 200 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 5. Through the above structure, the rotation of the sonar probe 200 in the first and second planes, as well as the adjustment of the depth, can be realized. It can achieve coordinated control of depth, horizontal angle, and pitch angle, and is firmly fixed, avoiding the distortion of detection data caused by water flow impact.

[0047] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 is provided with arc-shaped teeth 11; the locking structure 21 includes a protrusion and an adjusting nut 212. The protrusion is used to engage with the arc-shaped teeth 11, and the protrusion can slide in the radial direction of the rotation arc of the connector 2. The adjusting nut 212 is installed on the connector 2 and its end is connected to the protrusion. By means of the adjusting nut 212 being threadedly connected to the connector 2 and its end being connected to the protrusion, when the connector 2 needs to rotate, rotating the adjusting nut 212 causes the protrusion to slide outward out of the arc-shaped teeth 11. After rotating the connector 2 to the required angle, rotating the adjusting nut 212 causes the protrusion to slide inward until it engages with the arc-shaped teeth 11, thereby fixing the connector 2 and the mounting bracket 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, the ring sleeve 3 has a notch 31, and an ear seat 32 is provided on both sides of the notch 31. The ear seat 32 has a first threaded hole. The sonar probe fixing device also includes a locking nut 6, which is connected to the first threaded hole on the two ear seats 32. By connecting the locking nut 6 to the first threaded hole on the two ear seats 32, the distance between the two ear seats 32 is adjusted, so that the ring sleeve 3 is clamped on the connecting rod 4, thereby fixing the ring sleeve 3 to the connecting rod 4 and fixing the connecting rod 4 at a specified length and angle.

[0049] In some embodiments, the connector 2 may also be provided with a guide hole 22, through which the connecting rod 4 passes to guide the sliding of the connecting rod 4, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the sliding of the connecting rod 4.

[0050] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 is provided with pin holes 12, and the connector 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 23, with both ends of the rotating shaft 23 inserted into the pin holes 12. By rotating the shaft 2 into the pin holes 12, a rotatable connection between the connector 2 and the mounting bracket 1 is achieved.

By locking the mounting bracket 13 onto the hull 100 or the hull 100 connecting frame and by pressing the tightening bolt 14 against the hull 100 or the hull 100 connecting frame, a detachable connection between the mounting bracket 1 and the hull 100 or the hull 100 connecting frame is achieved, adapting to hulls 100 of different sizes and thus having a wider range of applications.

[0052] In some embodiments, the locking part 13 includes a side support surface 131, a top pressing surface 132, and a side pressing surface 133. The side support surface 131 and the side pressing surface 133 are disposed opposite to each other. The top pressing surface 132 is connected to the side support surface 131 and the side pressing surface 133 respectively. The side pressing surface 133 is provided with a second threaded hole. The tightening bolt 14 is connected to the second threaded hole. The side support surface 131 abuts against one side of the hull 100 or the hull 100 connecting frame. The tightening bolt 14 abuts against and presses against the other side of the hull 100 or the hull 100 connecting frame. After placing the mounting bracket 1 on the hull 100 or the hull 100 connecting bracket, make one side of the hull 100 or the hull 100 connecting bracket abut against the side support surface 131, and rotate the tightening bolt 14 to make it press against the other side of the hull 100 or the hull 100 connecting bracket, thereby fixing the mounting bracket 1 on the hull 100 or the hull 100 connecting bracket.

[0053] In some embodiments, the sonar probe fixing device further includes a tube clamp 7, which is mounted on the connecting rod 4 and connected to the bracket 5. After the tube clamp 7 is fitted onto the connecting rod 4, it is tightened by bolts, so that the tube clamp 7 is clamped on the connecting rod 4, and the bracket 5 is connected to the tube clamp 7 by bolts.

[0054] In some embodiments, the connector 2 is capable of rotating 90 degrees along the first plane. When the protrusion engages with the two ends of the arc-shaped tooth 11, the included angle between the connectors 2 is exactly 90 degrees, allowing the connector 2 to rotate 90 degrees along the first plane, thus achieving a 90° pitch adjustment of the sonar probe 200.

[0055] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 4 is capable of rotating 180 degrees along the second plane. The connecting rod 4 can rotate circumferentially within the ring 3, allowing for a 180-degree rotation. In practice, it can achieve a 360-degree rotation.

[0056] In some embodiments, the depth of the sonar probe 200 can be adjusted within the range of 0.5 to 1.5 m.

[0057] The working principle of the sonar probe fixing device in this embodiment is as follows: the connector 2 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 1 and rotates along the first plane; the ring 3 is fixedly connected to the connector 2; the connecting rod 4 is slidably mounted in the ring 3 and can be locked with the ring 3 at a specified length position; the connecting rod 4 can rotate around the ring 3 in a second plane, the second plane being perpendicular to the first plane; the bracket 5 is fixedly mounted on one end of the connecting rod 4, and the sonar probe 200 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 5; through the above structure, the rotation of the sonar probe 200 in the first and second planes, as well as the adjustment of the depth, can be realized, enabling coordinated control of depth, horizontal angle, and pitch angle, and is firmly fixed, avoiding distortion of detection data caused by water flow impact.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
