Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of marine surveying and mapping technology, and in particular relates to a frame for a nearshore fixed self-contained tide gauge. Background Technology

[0002] A self-contained tide gauge is a portable monitoring device used to measure changes in water level. It has a built-in data storage module and power supply, eliminating the need for external cables or real-time transmission equipment. It can independently complete data acquisition and storage, and the data can be retrieved later through a recovery device. It is widely used in hydrological monitoring, marine engineering, disaster prevention and mitigation, and other fields. It can record the dynamic changes in tide and water level over long periods, providing fundamental data for analysis. Currently, tide gauges are typically installed within a frame to protect them from external impacts and reduce environmental interference.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. 202323408978.5 discloses a protective positioning device for a tide gauge used in marine surveying, belonging to the field of marine surveying technology. It includes a fixing mechanism and a positioning mechanism. The fixing mechanism includes a connecting seat, a protective component, and a base. One end of the protective component is fixedly connected to the base, and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting seat. A lifting ring is provided at the end of the connecting seat away from the protective component. The positioning mechanism is fixedly connected to the lifting ring via a connecting cable. The protective component is used to hold a self-contained tide gauge. This invention solves the problems of inconvenience in fixing tide gauges in deep sea and the difficulty in finding the location when retrieving the tide gauge.

[0004] However, existing technologies have the following problems when in use: existing frames have insufficient structural strength and weak resistance to deformation, making them difficult to withstand the impact of harsh environments; and the counterweights on the frame are mostly fixed to the frame with bolts, which are usually in direct contact with seawater for a long time, which can easily cause corrosion of components and thus shorten the service life of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a frame for a nearshore fixed self-contained tide gauge.

[0006] This technical solution includes,

[0007] The frame body has a float for marking the position of the instrument. The frame body has a pyramidal structure, and each side of the frame body has a fixing component for reinforcing the frame body. The bottom of the inner cavity of the frame body is fixedly connected to a sleeve for installing the tide gauge, and the bottom of the frame body is provided with a counterweight to prevent the frame body from shifting.

[0008] Furthermore, a first rope is connected to the bottom of the buoy, one end of which is connected to the top of the frame body, and a second rope is connected to the other side of the top of the frame body, the other end of which is used to connect to the land surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the fastener includes a star-shaped frame, which is fixedly connected to the four sides of the frame body and is fixed to the frame body by welding.

[0010] Furthermore, the sleeve is formed by combining two sets of half sleeves, and the two sets of half sleeves are detachably connected by bolts. One of the half sleeves is fixed to the support column, and the bottom and top of the support column are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom middle and top of the inner cavity of the frame body.

[0011] Furthermore, a mounting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame body, and a positioning groove is provided on the top of the counterweight block. A positioning structure is configured in the positioning groove, which is used to limit the mounting rod in the positioning groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning structure includes a screw and a limiting block. The inner sidewall of the positioning groove is provided with a sliding groove. The screw is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding groove, and the limiting block is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding groove. The screw and the limiting block are threadedly connected. The lower end of the sidewall of the mounting rod is provided with a through groove that matches the limiting block.

[0013] Furthermore, the counterweight is equipped with a sealing structure, which includes a sealing ring. The sealing ring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting rod. The top of the counterweight is provided with a first annular groove that matches the sealing ring. A sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the first annular groove.

[0014] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the screw, and a knob for driving the rotating shaft to rotate is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

The bottom of the inner cavity of the frame body 100 is fixedly connected to a sleeve 110 for installing the tide gauge. The bottom of the frame body 100 has a counterweight 200 to prevent the frame body 100 from shifting. Specifically, the tide gauge is existing technology and will not be described in detail. Its model can be AQUAlogger520.

[0034] As a preferred example of this utility model, the frame body 100 adopts a pyramidal structure, which, together with the fixing parts on the inner periphery of each side, can enhance the stability of the overall structure and resist the impact of nearshore wind waves and currents; the float 130 can mark the instrument position, making it convenient for staff to locate; the sleeve 110 provides a dedicated installation space for the tide gauge, ensuring that the instrument is not easily shaken after installation; the counterweight 200 at the bottom can increase the overall weight of the frame, lower the center of gravity, and prevent the frame from shifting or tipping under the action of tidal changes and currents, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the tide gauge.

[0035] In the example of this application, the bottom of the buoy 130 is connected to a first rope 120, one end of the first rope 120 is connected to the top of the frame body 100, and the other side of the top of the frame body 100 is connected to a second rope 140, the other end of the second rope 140 is used to connect to the land surface.

[0036] As a preferred example of this utility model, the float 130 is connected to the top of the frame body 100 via the first rope 120, and the second rope 140 on the other side of the top of the frame body 100 is connected to the land surface, forming a fixed restraint, which can prevent the frame from drifting due to water flow impact, etc., and also provides convenience for the later maintenance and adjustment of the frame and tide gauge, making it easy for staff to pull and operate.

[0037] In the example of this application, the fastener includes a star-shaped frame 170, which is fixedly connected to the four sides of the frame body 100. The star-shaped frame 170 is fixed to the frame body 100 by welding.

[0038] As a preferred example of this utility model, the star-shaped frame 170 is fixed to the four sides of the frame body 100 and connected by welding. This can evenly distribute the external force on the frame to each side, improve the structural strength and deformation resistance of the frame body 100, make the frame less prone to damage in harsh near-shore environments, and extend the service life of the frame.

[0039] In the example of this application, the sleeve 110 is formed by combining two sets of half sleeves, and the two sets of half sleeves are detachably connected by bolts. One half sleeve is fixed to the support column 180, and the bottom and top of the support column 180 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom middle and top of the inner cavity of the frame body 100.

[0040] As a preferred example of this utility model, the sleeve 110 is composed of two sets of half sleeves connected by bolts, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the tide gauge and reduces the difficulty of instrument maintenance. One half sleeve is fixed to the support column 180, and the upper and lower ends of the support column 180 are respectively fixed to the middle of the bottom side and the top of the inner cavity of the frame body 100, providing solid support for the sleeve 110, ensuring the stability of the tide gauge after installation, and reducing the impact of frame shaking on measurement accuracy.

[0041] In the example of this application, the bottom of the frame body 100 is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 150, and the top of the counterweight block 200 is provided with a positioning groove 210. A positioning structure 270 is disposed in the positioning groove 210, which is used to limit the mounting rod 150 in the positioning groove 210.

[0042] As a preferred example of this utility model, the mounting rod 150 at the bottom of the frame body 100 cooperates with the positioning groove 210 at the top of the counterweight 200, and with the limiting effect of the positioning structure 270, the counterweight 200 can be fixed at the bottom of the frame body 100, ensuring the stability of the counterweight effect.

[0043] In the example of this application, the positioning structure 270 includes a screw 230 and a limiting block 231. The inner sidewall of the positioning groove 210 is provided with a sliding groove 220. The screw 230 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding groove 220, and the limiting block 231 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding groove 220. The screw 230 and the limiting block 231 are threadedly connected. The lower end of the sidewall of the mounting rod 150 is provided with a through groove 152 that matches the limiting block 231.

[0044] As a preferred example of this utility model, in the positioning structure 270, when the screw 230 rotates in the slide groove 220, it will drive the limiting block 231 to slide, so that the limiting block 231 is embedded in the through groove 152 of the mounting rod 150, thereby limiting the mounting rod 150 in the positioning groove 210. By setting the screw 230 and the limiting block 231 in the positioning groove 210, the screw 230 can be isolated from the external seawater, and it is convenient to install the mounting rod 150 and the counterweight 200.

[0045] In the example of this application, the counterweight 200 is provided with a sealing structure 160, the sealing structure 160 includes a sealing ring 151, the sealing ring 151 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting rod 150, and the top of the counterweight 200 is provided with a first annular groove 240 that matches the sealing ring 151, and a sealing gasket 241 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the first annular groove 240.

[0046] As a preferred example of this utility model, in the sealing structure 160, the sealing ring 151 on the side wall of the mounting rod 150 is in close contact with the sealing gasket 241 in the first annular groove 240 at the top of the counterweight 200, which can effectively prevent seawater from entering the positioning groove 210 and related connection parts, reduce the damage of seawater corrosion to the positioning structure 270, and improve the waterproof and corrosion-resistant performance of the frame.

[0047] In the example of this application, one end of the screw 230 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 260, and one end of the rotating shaft 260 is fixedly connected to a knob 250 for driving the rotating shaft 260 to rotate.

[0048] As a preferred example of this utility model, the rotating shaft 260 at one end of the screw 230 is connected to the knob 250. By rotating the knob 250, the operator can drive the rotating shaft 260 and the screw 230 to rotate, which facilitates the quick and easy fixing or disassembly of the mounting rod 150 and the counterweight 200, thus improving on-site operation efficiency.

[0049] In the example of this application, a waterproof ring 251 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the knob 250, and a second annular groove 261 is opened on the side wall of the counterweight 200. The waterproof ring 251 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the second annular groove 261.

[0050] As a preferred example of this utility model, the waterproof ring 251 on the side wall of the knob 250 is rotatably connected to the second annular groove 261 on the side wall of the counterweight 200, which can prevent seawater from seeping into the interior of the counterweight 200, protect the screw 230, rotating shaft 260 and other components from seawater corrosion, and ensure the long-term normal operation of the adjustment structure.

[0051] In the example of this application, the counterweights 200 are respectively set at the bottom center and three parts at the bottom of the frame body 100, and the mounting rods 150 are set correspondingly to the counterweights 200.

[0052] As a preferred example of this utility model, the counterweights 200 are respectively set at the bottom center and three bottom positions of the frame body 100, and are correspondingly connected to the mounting rods 150, so that the counterweight distribution is more uniform, which can balance the center of gravity of the frame body 100 and ensure the normal monitoring of the tide level meter.

[0053] In use, a float 130 for marking the instrument's position is connected to one side of the top of the frame body 100 via a first rope 120, and a second rope 140 is connected to the other side. The other end of the second rope 140 is used to connect to the land surface. The two ropes work together to form a fixed restraint, preventing the frame from drifting due to water flow. A sleeve 110 for installing a tide gauge is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the frame body 100. The sleeve 110 is formed by two sets of half sleeves that are detachably assembled with bolts. One half sleeve is fixed to a support column 180. The bottom and top of the support column 180 are respectively connected to the middle of the bottom side and the top of the inner cavity of the frame body 100. A fixed connection is provided to support the sleeve 110. A mounting rod 150 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame body 100.

This positioning structure 270 includes a screw 230 rotatably connected to the inner cavity of a sliding groove 220 on the inner side wall of the positioning groove 210, and a limiting block 231 threadedly connected to the screw 230 and slidably connected within the sliding groove 220. A limiting block 231 is provided at the lower end of the side wall of the mounting rod 150. The screw 230 rotates, causing the limiting block 231 to slide and embed into the through groove 152, thus limiting the mounting rod 150 in the positioning groove 210. One end of the screw 230 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 260, and the other end of the rotating shaft 260 is fixedly connected to a knob 250. By rotating the knob 250, the operator can rotate the rotating shaft 260 and the screw 230 to fix or remove the mounting rod 150 from the counterweight 200. A waterproof ring 251 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the knob 250, and a second annular groove 261 is opened on the side wall of the counterweight 200. The waterproof ring 251 rotates... The counterweight 200 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the second annular groove 261, which can prevent seawater from seeping into the interior of the counterweight 200 to protect the screw 230 and the rotating shaft 260. At the same time, a sealing ring 151 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting rod 150, and a first annular groove 240 matching the sealing ring 151 is opened on the top of the counterweight 200. A sealing gasket 241 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the first annular groove 240. The two fit together to prevent seawater from entering the positioning groove 210 and related connection parts, reducing the damage of seawater corrosion to the positioning structure 270. The distribution of the counterweight 200 can increase the overall weight of the frame and lower the center of gravity, together ensuring that the tide gauge can work continuously and stably.
