Detailed Implementation

[0042] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a fish finder bracket includes a connecting seat 1, which serves as the bracket's base fixing unit. It is made of corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy and has a standardized set of mounting holes on its bottom surface, making it suitable for flat fixing scenarios such as ship decks and floating platforms. The top surface is rigidly connected to the drive seat 2 by bolts, and the hollow design in the middle is used for cable integration.

[0043] The connecting seat 1 is provided with a driving seat 2, which includes a fixed seat 201 fixedly connected to the connecting seat 1. The fixed seat 201 has a hollow cavity structure and a first motor 202 is provided inside. The output shaft of the first motor 202 is connected to the rotating seat 3. The first motor 202 adopts a commonly used motor, preferably a DC stepper motor with a positioning accuracy of ±0.1°. It has a built-in reducer and transmits power to the rotating seat 3 through a gearbox to realize the adjustment of the position of the fish probe 502.

[0044] Furthermore, the mounting base 201 may be equipped with a heat dissipation grille on its side, and integrates a motor driver and power module inside, supporting wired / wireless dual-mode control signal input, and using existing methods to control, transmit signals and connect.

[0045] In use, starting the first motor 202 drives the rotating base 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the fish probe 502 to rotate. Preferably, the rotation range of the rotating base 3 driven by the first motor 202 is a horizontal rotation of 0-180 degrees; that is, it drives the position of the fish probe 502 to rotate horizontally 0-180 degrees around the output shaft of the first motor 202, thereby adjusting the detection angle and position of the fish probe 502 to adapt to different usage needs. For example, to prevent the fish probe 502 from being blocked by aquatic plants or the hull of a boat, starting the first motor 202 drives the rotating base 3 to rotate, thereby moving the fish probe 502 to a new position and reducing the probability of the fish probe 502 being blocked. Therefore, the movement of the fish probe 502 can be controlled by the first motor 202 to create a favorable detection space.

[0046] The rotating seat 3 is provided with an adjustment mechanism 4, which includes an adjustment seat 401. One side of the adjustment seat 401 has an opening, that is, the adjustment seat 401 is a U-shaped frame structure. One side of the opening is embedded in the rotating seat 3, and the other side is connected to the movable rod 5 through a rotating sleeve 403. The adjustment seat 401 and the rotating seat 3 are rotatably connected. During the rotation of the adjustment seat 401, the rotating seat 3 moves relative to each other in the opening.

[0047] Furthermore, the rotating base 3 includes a rotating block 301, within which a rotating shaft 302 is rotatably mounted; both ends of the rotating shaft 302 extend out of the rotating block 301 and are fixedly connected to the adjusting base 401; the rotating shaft 302 is equipped with a worm gear 303; a second motor 304 is installed within the rotating block 301, and the output shaft of the second motor 304 is equipped with a worm 305, which meshes with the worm gear 303; the second motor 304 adopts an existing self-locking motor, such as a stepper motor or a servo motor, and is controlled and connected in an existing manner; the second motor 304 is preferably a DC stepper motor with a braking function, a response time ≤50ms, and the rotation angle is fed back in real time through an encoder.

[0048] When in use, the second motor 304 is started to drive the worm gear 305 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 303 and the shaft 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the adjusting seat 401 to rotate, and finally drives the fish probe 502 and the turn signal 501 to rotate. After the test is completed, the fish probe 502 is turned up. This can prevent the fish probe 502 from being soaked in water for a long time and also facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the fish probe 502. Conversely, the fish probe 502 can be turned back underwater to work.

[0049] The second motor 304 drives the fish probe 502 to rotate around the rotating shaft 302 to adjust the position of the fish probe 502, so that the fish probe 502 enters or exits the water. It can also adjust the angle of the fish probe 502 in the water. The second motor 304 drives the adjustment seat 401 to rotate at an angle of 0-180 degrees.

[0050] The rotating block 301 has a chamfered edge to allow room for the rotation of the adjusting seat 401 and ensure that the adjusting seat 401 rotates stably.

[0051] The adjustment base 401 is equipped with a movable rod 5, which is a hollow cylindrical rod. The movable rod 5 passes through the adjustment base 401, and one end of the movable rod 5 is equipped with a fish detector 502. The fish detector 502 adopts the existing fish detector 502 and works and connects the circuit in the existing way. The fish detector 502 preferably adopts a multi-beam echo detector with a detection frequency range of 20-200kHz and a detection angle of 120°. The mounting end is equipped with a three-dimensional adjustment gimbal, which is fixed to the front end of the movable rod 5 by bolts and can be manually finely adjusted by ±15° yaw angle. The other end of the movable rod 5 is equipped with a direction light 501. The detection direction of the fish detector 502 is the same as the indication direction of the direction light 501, so that the operator can judge the direction of the fish detector 502 by the direction of the direction light 501. The movable rod 5 is hollow inside and preferably has a shielded cable channel to support the integrated wiring of the power line, signal line and control line of the fish detector 502 and the direction light 501.

[0052] In a further embodiment, the adjusting mechanism 4 further includes a rotating sleeve 403 sleeved on the outside of the movable rod 5, and the rotating sleeve 403 is rotatably mounted inside the adjusting seat 401; a crown gear 407 is sleeved on the rotating sleeve 403; a third motor 405 is provided inside the adjusting seat 401, and a gear 406 is provided on the output shaft of the third motor 405, which meshes with the crown gear 407. The third motor 405 adopts a commonly used motor, such as a stepper motor, and is controlled and connected in an existing manner; the third motor 405 is preferably a DC stepper motor with a braking function, with a response time ≤50ms, and the rotation angle is fed back in real time through an encoder.

[0053] The side of the adjusting seat 401 is provided with a pad 402, and a plane bearing 404 is provided between the rotating sleeve 403 and the pad 402 to support the rotating sleeve 403 and ensure the stable rotation of the rotating sleeve 403.

[0054] When in use, starting the third motor 405 can drive the gear 406 to rotate, which in turn drives the crown gear 407 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating sleeve 403 and the movable rod 5 to rotate, and finally drives the fish probe 502 to rotate, so as to adjust the detection angle of the fish probe 502 to adapt to different usage needs. Furthermore, the continuous rotation of the movable rod 5 and the fish probe 502 facilitates periodic detection and adapts to different detection modes.

[0055] The third motor 405 starts and drives the fish probe 502 to rotate circumferentially around the movable rod 5, thereby adjusting the detection direction of the fish probe 502. The third motor 405 drives the fish probe 502 to rotate 360 ​​degrees.

[0056] The above solution allows users to easily detect different locations and ranges as needed, and it is also easy to store and use after detection.

[0057] In another embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the turn signal 501 is detachably connected to the movable lever 5;

[0058] The turn signal 501 has a connector 601 at its bottom, which is inserted into the interior of the movable rod 5. The connector 601 and the movable rod 5 are interference-fitted. The connector 601 has a terminal block 602 at its bottom, which has a built-in waterproof terminal to support the crimping of the power supply positive and negative terminals and signal control lines, as well as the connection of existing signal lines. The turn signal 501 has a waterproof sleeve 603 at its bottom, which is fitted onto the outside of the movable rod 5. The waterproof sleeve 603 is made of silicone rubber and is fixed to the movable rod 5 by clamps. The turn signal 501 has a transmitter 604 inside, which is electrically connected to the terminal block 602. The transmitter 604 is preferably a visible laser transmitter, and the emission direction is the same as the indication direction of the turn signal 501.

[0059] When in use, a visible laser signal is emitted by the transmitter 604 to mark the direction of the fish detector 502. Thus, during use, the user does not need to get close to the direction light 501 to check the direction of the fish detector 502, nor does he need to go to the control terminal to check. Instead, the direction of the fish detector 502 can be obtained from a distance by the direction of the laser signal.

[0060] The direction indicator 501 and the fish finder 502 are strictly coaxial in their detection direction. A visible beam is projected through the transmitter 604, allowing operators to remotely confirm the detection direction from the deck without relying on equipment terminal data, thus improving the intuitiveness of operation.

[0061] This invention significantly improves the environmental adaptability and operational efficiency of the Fish Finder 502 device through its multi-axis drive system and highly reliable structure, and can be widely used in fisheries, aquaculture, water conservancy and other fields.

[0062] This application achieves multi-position and angle adjustment by driving the first motor 202, the second motor 304 and the third motor 405. The first motor 202 drives the rotating seat 3 to rotate ±90 degrees with a positioning accuracy of ±0.1°, which can facilitate the adjustment of the position of the fish probe 502 and reduce obstruction.

[0063] The second motor 304 drives the rotating shaft 302 via a worm gear 305 and a worm wheel 303 (preferably with a transmission ratio of 1:20), enabling the adjustment seat 401 to be adjusted to 180 degrees. This allows for adjustment of the longitudinal position of the fish probe 502 or for lifting the fish probe 502 for maintenance. The self-locking characteristic of the worm gear ensures that the position is stable after adjustment, preventing angle deviation caused by water flow impact.

[0064] The third motor 405 drives the movable rod 5 to rotate via gears 406 and 407 with a preferred transmission ratio of 1:1.5. This allows for adjustment of the detection direction of the fish probe 502 to meet different detection requirements. It can also perform 360-degree cyclic detection.

[0065] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of this utility model and should not be considered as limitations on this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be the technical solution described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
