Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transducer technology, and in particular to a portable transducer clamp. Background Technology

[0002] A device that converts electrical, mechanical, or acoustic energy from one form of energy to another is called a transducer. In fields such as marine surveying, portable transducers are widely used due to their flexibility and convenience.

[0003] During operation, transducers require precise positioning and secure installation using clamps to ensure the accuracy and reliability of detection or measurement data. Due to the diversity of marine environments, higher demands are placed on the portability, ease of installation, and protective performance of portable transducer clamps for the transducer probes. However, existing transducer clamps have certain limitations in design and function, making it difficult to fully meet practical application needs. Specifically:

[0004] Installation is complex: Traditional transducer fixtures have a complex structure design, and the installation process requires the use of various tools, which consumes a lot of time and manpower. In some emergency testing or frequent changes of testing position, this seriously affects work efficiency.

[0005] Insufficient protection: Existing fixtures do not provide adequate protection for transducer probes. During handling and use, probes are easily subjected to external forces such as collisions and squeezing, which can damage the probes and affect the service life and detection accuracy of the transducers.

[0006] Poor portability: Most fixtures are large in size and heavy in weight, and the overall structure is loose after being assembled with the transducer, making them inconvenient to carry and unable to meet the diverse and mobile testing needs of industrial sites.

[0007] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned solutions in actual production and implementation, modifications and improvements have been made. At the same time, in the spirit and concept of seeking excellence, with the assistance of professional knowledge and experience, and after much ingenuity and experimentation, a portable transducer clamp is specially provided to solve the technical problems of traditional transducer clamps being complex in structure, inconvenient to carry and install.

[0008] This design uses POM material, or polyoxymethylene (POM), which is a white or black plastic granule. It has the characteristics of being lightweight plastic, as well as high hardness, high rigidity, and high wear resistance. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a portable transducer clamp to solve the technical problems of traditional transducer clamps being complex in structure, inconvenient to carry, and inconvenient to install.

[0010] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0011] A portable transducer clamp includes a transducer mounting frame with a longitudinal watertight connector hole. The bottom of the transducer mounting frame is connected to a base via a fixing rod, and the top of the transducer mounting frame is provided with a connecting mechanism for connecting to a rope. The transducer mounting frame and the base are made of POM material.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the connection mechanism includes two top connecting brackets that are detachably connected to the top of the transducer mounting bracket, and the two top connecting brackets are fixed by cylindrical pins.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the transducer mounting bracket is formed by the connection of two semi-fixed brackets, and the transducer mounting bracket has a central through hole in the middle.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the transducer mounting bracket has a smooth top surface and a hollow bottom design.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the transducer mounting bracket has a frustum-shaped outer surface.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the base is annular, and several fixing rods are evenly arranged between the base and the transducer mounting frame.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the top connecting frame is a tripod with an angular protrusion at the top, which is fixed to the transducer mounting frame at the bottom by bolts.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the fixing rod is fixed to the bottom of the semi-fixed frame, and the bottom of the fixing rod is connected to the base using bolts.

[0019] The bolts used in this design are hex socket head cap screws. The connections between the top tripod and the transducer mounting bracket, the plate mounting bracket, and the base and the fixing rod are all achieved using hex socket head cap screws.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] Simplified installation structure design: This solution has a simple structure and a stable connection. Only one Allen wrench is needed to quickly assemble and disassemble the entire clamp, greatly simplifying the installation process.

[0022] All-round protection design: The clamp is made of rigid plastic POM material, which can effectively absorb external impact. At the same time, the probe part adopts a hollow design to avoid the probe being subjected to external friction and collision, thus protecting the transducer probe.

[0023] Lightweight and portable design: POM material is a high-strength and lightweight material. While ensuring the structural strength of the fixture, the weight of the fixture is reduced to the minimum. In addition, the overall structure of the fixture is optimized to make it small and compact, easy to store and carry, and convenient for inspection personnel to quickly use in different workplaces.

[0035] The connection mechanism 1 includes two top connection brackets that are detachably connected to the top of the transducer mounting bracket 6, and the two top connection brackets are fixed by cylindrical pins 4.

[0036] The transducer mounting bracket 6 is formed by the connection of the semi-fixed bracket 9, and the transducer mounting bracket 6 has a central through hole 3 in the middle.

[0037] The top surface of the transducer mounting bracket 6 is smooth and the bottom is hollow.

[0038] The transducer mounting bracket 6 has a frustum-shaped exterior.

[0039] The height of the fixed rod 7 is higher than the height of the transducer.

[0040] The base 8 is ring-shaped, and several fixing rods 7 are evenly arranged between the base 8 and the transducer fixing frame 6.

[0041] The top connecting frame is a triangular frame with an angular protrusion at the top, which is fixed to the transducer mounting bracket 6 at the bottom with bolts.

[0042] The top of the fixing rod 7 is fixed to the bottom of the semi-fixed frame 9, and the bottom of the fixing rod 7 is connected to the base 8 with bolts.

It is especially suitable for emergency testing tasks and work scenarios where testing positions are frequently changed, saving a lot of manpower and time costs.

[0048] Comprehensive protection design: The clamp is made of rigid plastic POM material, which can effectively absorb external impact. At the same time, the probe is hollow, which avoids external friction and collision, protects the transducer probe, greatly reduces the risk of damage to the transducer probe due to external forces during use, extends the service life of the transducer, ensures the accuracy and stability of the test data, and reduces equipment maintenance and replacement costs.

[0049] Lightweight and Portable Design: POM material is a high-strength, lightweight material. While ensuring the structural strength of the fixture, its weight is minimized to the greatest extent possible. Furthermore, the overall structure of the fixture is optimized for a compact size, making it easy to store and carry, allowing inspection personnel to quickly access it in different workplaces.
