Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of exploration submersible launching technology, specifically a launching device for exploration submersibles. Background Technology

[0002] A deep-sea submersible is an active deep-sea diving device with underwater observation and operational capabilities. It is mainly used for underwater exploration, seabed surveying, seabed development and salvage, and rescue missions, and can also serve as an underwater operational base for divers. It is also known as a deep-sea submersible or a submersible vehicle.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document disclosing a launching device for a towed submersible [Announcement No.: CN218258604U]. The device includes a base plate with a rectangular opening and a cavity inside. Slide plates slide at both ends of the cavity, and a drive mechanism is located at the lower end of each slide plate. A gantry frame is fixed to the upper end of the base plate, and a rectangular sliding cylinder is fixedly embedded in the upper end of the gantry frame. A rectangular sliding column slides within the rectangular sliding cylinder. This launching device can deploy and retrieve the submersible by controlling the winding of the cable with a winch. Furthermore, it can secure the submersible's connectors with a chuck while it is suspended in the air, effectively preventing collisions due to swinging during launching and retrieval. This provides a high safety factor and allows for easy maintenance of the submersible while it is suspended in the air.

[0004] To prevent underwater damage to the submersible, cables are usually fixed to it. When the submersible is damaged, it can be retrieved by reeling in the cables using a hoisting device. To facilitate maintenance, the submersible is usually hoisted by cables. However, hoisting the submersible by cables alone would cause it to sway in the air, making maintenance difficult. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a launching device for a submersible to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a launching device for a submersible, comprising a base plate and a gantry frame, wherein the gantry frame is welded to the top of the base plate, and the interior of the gantry frame is provided with a clamping connector for fixing to the submersible. A cable is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping connector, and a winch for winding the cable is fixedly installed on the top of the gantry frame. An anti-sway mechanism is provided inside the gantry frame.

[0007] The lower support mechanism is fixedly mounted on the anti-sway mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the anti-sway mechanism includes electric push rods symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the gantry frame. The output end of the electric push rod extends into the interior of the gantry frame and is fixedly connected to a side plate. A buffer plate is provided on one side of the side plate, and a buffer mechanism is provided between the buffer plate and the side plate.

[0009] Preferably, the buffer mechanism includes four sleeves fixedly connected to one side of the side plate, with springs fixedly connected to the inner wall of each sleeve, a buffer rod fixedly connected to one end of each spring, and one end of the buffer rod fixedly connected to one side of the buffer plate.

[0010] Preferably, the lower support mechanism includes several telescopic holes formed at the bottom of the side plate, a telescopic rod is inserted into the telescopic holes, and a lower support plate is fixedly connected to one side of the telescopic rod;

[0011] A positioning frame is provided on one side of the telescopic rod. One side of the positioning frame is fixedly connected to one side of the side plate. A traction block is provided inside the positioning frame. A traction rod is fixedly connected to one side of the traction block. One end of the traction rod passes through the interior of the positioning frame and is fixedly connected to a moving block. A positioning rod is fixedly connected to one side of the moving block. One end of the positioning rod passes through the interior of the telescopic hole. Several positioning holes that cooperate with the positioning rod are opened on one side of the telescopic rod.

[0012] Preferably, a first rubber pad is fixedly connected to the top of the lower support plate, and a second rubber pad is fixedly connected to one side of the buffer plate.

[0013] Preferably, a tension spring is fitted on the surface of the traction rod, one end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to one side of the traction block, and the other end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning frame.

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

[0015] 1. This utility model, by setting an anti-sway mechanism, enables the connection of the connector to the submersible, the start of the winch to wind up the cable until the cable suspends the submersible inside the gantry and into a suspended state. Then, the electric push rod is activated, which will drive the side plate and buffer plate to move closer to the submersible until the two buffer plates clamp the submersible. This effectively prevents the submersible from swaying in the air and facilitates maintenance.

[0016] 2. By setting up a buffer mechanism, the spring in the buffer mechanism will rebound slightly when the probe oscillates, and the reaction force generated by the spring will play a buffering role, avoiding damage to the probe from hard impacts.

[0017] 3. By setting up a lower support mechanism, this utility model enables the anti-sway mechanism to clamp the submersible from both sides. By pulling the traction block, the traction block will drive the traction rod, the moving block, and the positioning rod to move, causing the positioning rod to leave the positioning hole. Then, the telescopic rod and the lower support plate will move upward, so that the bottom of the lower support plate contacts the bottom of the submersible. After releasing the traction block, the tension spring will pull the traction block, traction rod, moving block, and positioning rod back to their original positions, allowing the positioning rod to enter the corresponding positioning hole, thus fixing the telescopic rod and the lower support plate. At this point, with the lower support plate supporting the submersible from the bottom, the stability of the submersible can be further improved, facilitating maintenance.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown,

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] A launching device for a submersible includes a base plate 1 and a gantry 2. The gantry 2 is welded to the top of the base plate 1. The gantry 2 is provided with a clamping connector 3 for fixing to the submersible. A cable 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping connector 3. A winch 5 for winding the cable 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the gantry 2. An anti-sway mechanism is provided inside the gantry 2.

[0027] The lower support mechanism is fixedly mounted on the anti-sway mechanism.

[0028] The anti-sway mechanism includes electric push rods 6 symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the gantry frame 2. The output end of the electric push rod 6 extends into the interior of the gantry frame 2 and is fixedly connected to a side plate 7. A buffer plate 8 is provided on one side of the side plate 7, and a buffer mechanism is provided between the buffer plate 8 and the side plate 7.

[0029] In this embodiment, to facilitate maintenance of the submersible, it is typically hoisted using cable 4. However, considering that simply hoisting the submersible using cable 4 would cause it to sway in the air, hindering maintenance, an anti-sway mechanism is implemented. After connecting the connector 3 to the submersible, the winch 5 is activated to wind up cable 4 until it suspends the submersible inside the gantry 2. Then, the electric push rod 6 is activated, which moves the side plate 7 and buffer plate 8 closer to the submersible until the two buffer plates 8 clamp it, effectively preventing the submersible from swaying in the air and facilitating maintenance.

[0030] The buffer mechanism includes four sleeves 9 fixedly connected to one side of the side plate 7. Springs 10 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeves 9. A buffer rod 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 10. One end of the buffer rod 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the buffer plate 8.

[0031] In this embodiment, by setting a buffer mechanism, when the probe submersible swings, the spring 10 in the buffer mechanism will rebound slightly, and the reaction force generated by the spring 10 will play a buffering role, preventing the probe submersible from being damaged by hard impact.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] Based on Embodiment 1, the anti-sway mechanism in this embodiment reduces the swaying of the submersible by clamping. However, considering that if the submersible is only supported by the force of the cable 4, the center of gravity is unstable, which will also cause the submersible to sway and make maintenance inconvenient, the lower support mechanism in this application includes several telescopic holes 12 opened at the bottom of the side plate 7. A telescopic rod 13 is inserted into the telescopic hole 12, and a lower support plate 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the telescopic rod 13.

[0034] A positioning frame 15 is provided on one side of the telescopic rod 13. One side of the positioning frame 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the side plate 7. A traction block 16 is provided inside the positioning frame 15. A traction rod 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the traction block 16. One end of the traction rod 17 passes through the interior of the positioning frame 15 and is fixedly connected to a moving block 18. A positioning rod 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving block 18. One end of the positioning rod 19 passes through the interior of the telescopic hole 12. Several positioning holes 20 that cooperate with the positioning rod 19 are provided on one side of the telescopic rod 13.

[0035] In this embodiment, by setting a lower support mechanism, after the anti-sway mechanism clamps the submersible from both sides, pulling the traction block 16 will cause the traction rod 17, the moving block 18, and the positioning rod 19 to move, so that the positioning rod 19 leaves the positioning hole 20. Then, the telescopic rod 13 and the lower support plate 14 move upward, so that the bottom of the lower support plate 14 contacts the bottom of the submersible. After releasing the traction block 16, the tension spring 23 will pull the traction block 16, the traction rod 17, the moving block 18, and the positioning rod 19 to reset, so that the positioning rod 19 enters the corresponding positioning hole 20, thus fixing the telescopic rod 13 and the lower support plate 14. At this time, with the lower support plate 14 supporting the submersible from the bottom, the stability of the submersible can be further improved, which facilitates maintenance.

[0036] A first rubber pad 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower support plate 14, and a second rubber pad 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the buffer plate 8.

[0037] In this embodiment, by setting the first rubber pad 21 and the second rubber pad 22, it is possible to avoid direct hard contact between the lower support plate 14 and the buffer plate 8 and the submersible, thereby avoiding damage to the surface of the submersible.

[0038] A tension spring 23 is fitted on the surface of the traction rod 17. One end of the tension spring 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the traction block 16, and the other end of the tension spring 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning frame 15.

[0039] In this embodiment, by setting a tension spring 23, when the delivery traction block 16 is opened, the tension spring 23 will pull the traction block 16, traction rod 17, moving block 18 and positioning rod 19 to move, thus playing a role in resetting.

[0040] Working principle: After the user connects the connector 3 to the submersible, the winch 5 is started to wind up the cable 4 until the cable 4 lifts the submersible inside the gantry 2 and into a suspended state. Then the electric push rod 6 is started, which will drive the side plate 7 and the buffer plate 8 to move closer to the submersible until the two buffer plates 8 clamp the submersible. This can effectively prevent the submersible from swaying in the air and facilitate maintenance.

[0041] After the anti-sway mechanism clamps the submersible from both sides, pulling the traction block 16 will cause the traction rod 17, the moving block 18, and the positioning rod 19 to move, so that the positioning rod 19 leaves the positioning hole 20. Then, the telescopic rod 13 and the lower support plate 14 move upward, so that the bottom of the lower support plate 14 contacts the bottom of the submersible. After releasing the traction block 16, the tension spring 23 will pull the traction block 16, the traction rod 17, the moving block 18, and the positioning rod 19 to reset, so that the positioning rod 19 enters the corresponding positioning hole 20, thus fixing the telescopic rod 13 and the lower support plate 14. At this time, with the lower support plate 14 supporting the submersible from the bottom, the stability of the submersible can be further improved, which facilitates maintenance.

[0042] It should be noted that the winch 5 and the electric push rod 6 are existing devices or equipment, or devices or equipment that can be implemented by existing technology. The specific composition and principle of the power supply of the winch 5 and the electric push rod 6 are clear to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.
