Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This utility model discloses a stern shaft speed measuring device, including a base plate 1, a mounting block 2 on the top of the base plate 1, a groove 3 inside the mounting block 2, a slider 4 inside the groove 3, a connecting plate 5 on the top of the slider 4, a mounting ring 6 on one side of the connecting plate 5, a mounting frame 7 on one side of the mounting ring 6, an auxiliary wheel 8 inside the mounting frame 7, a shaft 9 at the bottom of the auxiliary wheel 8, a reflector 10 on the outside of the shaft 9, a laser detector 11 on one side of the reflector 10, and a fixing device 12 on one side of the mounting block 2. In this embodiment, the groove 3 serves to limit the movement path of the slider 2, the slider 2 serves to limit movement, the connecting plate 5 serves to position the slider, and the mounting frame 7 facilitates the rotation of the auxiliary wheel 8.
[0029] Reference Figure 3The laser detector 11 is provided with a mounting box 13 on its outer side. The mounting box 13 is provided with a sealing plate 14 inside. A processing box 15 and an antenna 16 are provided on one side of the sealing plate 14. In this embodiment, the laser detector 11 plays the role of detecting the reflector 10, and the sealing plate 14 and the mounting box 13 play the role of waterproofing.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The slider 4 is slidably connected to the inside of the groove 3, the mounting ring 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5, the mounting bracket 7 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting ring 6, and the auxiliary wheel 8 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting bracket 7. In this embodiment, the mounting ring 6 serves to fix the mounting bracket 7, and the auxiliary wheel 8 serves to facilitate the rotation of the shaft 9.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A propeller 17 is provided on one side of the shaft 9, and a protective cover 18 is provided on the outside of the propeller 17. A limiting cylinder 19 is provided on the outer surface of the shaft 9. The propeller 17 is rotatably connected to the inside of the protective cover 18. The limiting cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the shaft 9. The shaft 9 is rotatably connected to one side of the auxiliary wheel 8. In this embodiment, the protective cover 18 serves to protect the propeller 17, and the limiting cylinder 19 serves to prevent the shaft 9 from shaking.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The fixing device 12 includes a baffle 20 and a ball groove 21. A limiting plate 22 is provided on one side of the baffle 20. A fixing bolt 23 is provided inside the limiting plate 22. A spherical spring lock 24 is provided inside the ball groove 21. The ball groove 21 and the spherical spring lock 24 are adapted to each other. The ball groove 21 is opened at the bottom of the connecting plate 5. In this embodiment, the baffle 20 plays a limiting role, the fixing thread 22 plays a fixing role of the mounting ring 6, and the spherical spring lock 24 and the ball groove 21 play a positioning role.
[0033] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0034] When the shaft 9 rotates, since the limiting cylinder 19 is concentric with the shaft 9, the limiting cylinder 19 rotates with the shaft 9. The reflector 10 will rotate around the shaft 9 under the action of the shaft 9's rotation. When the laser detector 11 detects the reflector 10 on both the front and rear sides, it is considered that the shaft 9 has rotated one revolution. The number of times the laser detector 11 monitors the reflector 10 within a fixed time is used to calculate the rotation speed of the shaft 9 per minute using the processing box 15. Then, it is synchronized to the internal display screen of the ship through the antenna 16 so that the staff can observe the rotation speed of the shaft 9.
[0035] When the shaft 9 needs to be repaired, first remove the fixing bolt 23, and use the slider 4 to slide inside the slide groove 3. At the same time, the ball spring lock 24 loses connection with the ball groove 21, and the limit plate 22 also loses connection with the connecting plate 5. When the slider 4 slides to the end of the slide groove 3, pull the mounting ring 6 upward. The slider 4 disengages from the inside of the slide groove 3, and the upper half of the mounting ring 6 can be removed. The mounting ring 6 is divided into upper and lower parts. The lower half of the mounting ring 6 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 2, while the upper half of the mounting ring 6 is connected to the mounting block 2 using the fixing bolt 23. After the upper half of the mounting ring 6 is removed, the shaft 9 and the limit cylinder 19 are no longer restricted, and then maintenance and inspection can be carried out.
[0036] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0037] The cooperation between slider 4 and slide groove 3 facilitates the positioning of mounting ring 6. The cooperation between mounting ring 6, mounting bracket 7 and auxiliary wheel 8 facilitates the rotation of shaft 9. The cooperation between auxiliary wheel 8 and limiting cylinder 19 provides positioning. The cooperation between ball groove 21, ball spring lock 24 and fixing bolt 23 secures mounting ring 6. By using the above structure, the disassembly and assembly steps of shaft 9 are simplified, thereby facilitating inspection and maintenance. The cooperation between reflector 10 and laser detector 11 monitors the rotational speed of shaft 9. The cooperation between mounting box 13 and sealing plate 14 provides waterproofing. The cooperation between processing box 15 and antenna 16 calculates the rotational speed of shaft 9.
[0038] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
