Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine observation equipment technology, specifically a drifting buoy deployment mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Drifting buoys are important tools for marine environmental monitoring, hydrological surveys, and meteorological observations. Typically, drifting buoys need to be deployed in designated sea areas by survey vessels or deployment platforms. Current deployment methods mostly involve manual casting or simple mechanical hoisting. However, these methods have several shortcomings. First, they are unsafe; in rough sea conditions, manual casting poses significant risks to operators, as the buoy may collide with the vessel and be damaged. Furthermore, entanglement of cables during casting or hoisting can easily occur, affecting the operation. Second, manual operation makes it difficult to ensure the buoy enters the water at the predetermined location, resulting in low deployment accuracy. To address these issues, the inventors have proposed a drifting buoy deployment mechanism to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the problem of poor safety when deploying drifting buoys, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drifting buoy deployment mechanism.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a drifting buoy deployment mechanism, including an installation plate, a platform fixedly connected to the top surface of the installation plate, housings provided on both sides of the platform, a worktable fixedly connected to one side of the top surface of the platform, and a support frame fixedly connected to the other side of the top surface of the platform, the support frame including a support groove, a cavity plate provided on one side of the worktable, one end of the cavity plate extending into the support groove, an electric cylinder provided inside the housing, a toothed plate fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the electric cylinder, a horizontal shaft rotatably connected to the upper side wall of the housing, a gear and a release hook fixedly connected to the side wall of the horizontal shaft, the gear corresponding to and meshing with the toothed plate.

[0005] Preferably, mounting holes are provided through the four corners of the top surface of the mounting plate. The bottom surface of the housing is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting plate. A foot pedal is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing. The side of the foot pedal facing away from the housing is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pad. Fastening bolts can be inserted into the mounting holes. The mounting plate is fixed to the deck of the boat by the fastening bolts in the mounting holes. When installing the mounting plate, the output end of the cavity plate must face the water surface. A drift buoy body is provided on one side of the mounting plate. When the drift buoy body needs to be placed in the support groove of the support frame, Workers can climb onto the work platform via foot pedals to place the buoy body into the support groove of the support frame. The cavity plate is inclined, with the output end of the cavity plate lower than the input end. A reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cavity plate, and the end of the reinforcing rod away from the cavity plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the platform. When the release hook separates from the slot on the buoy body, the unrestrained buoy body can move down along the inclined cavity plate under its own weight to fall into the water. The reinforcing rod is used to support and fix the cavity plate to prevent the cavity plate from bending and breaking.

[0006] Preferably, the electric cylinder has a base on its side wall, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing. The electric cylinder is mounted on the base. Activating the electric cylinder allows the toothed plate to move vertically. The side wall of the toothed plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate. The side wall of the horizontal shaft is rotatably connected to a support plate. The side of the support plate away from the horizontal shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing. The support plate supports the rotation of the horizontal shaft. When the toothed plate moves vertically, the horizontal shaft can rotate due to the meshing of the toothed plate and the gear, which in turn allows the release hook to rotate. There are two housings, which are symmetrically distributed around the axis of the support frame. A slot is provided through the upper part of the outer side wall of the housing. The release hook corresponds to and cooperates with the slot, allowing it to move within the slot.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: it has good safety, and when the buoy body is deployed, it can avoid direct contact between personnel and buoys and ships, making it suitable for high-risk sea conditions. Moreover, when the buoy is put into the water, it is put into the water by tilting and sliding down, rather than being suspended vertically, thereby reducing the risk of entanglement with cables and other components. Furthermore, the locking and releasing of the buoy body are both mechanical, with simple and clear actions and good reliability. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0014] Example: Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a drift buoy deployment mechanism, including a mounting plate 1, a platform 3 fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting plate 1, a housing 8 on both sides of the platform 3, a worktable 4 fixedly connected to one side of the top surface of the platform 3, and a support frame 5 fixedly connected to the other side of the top surface of the platform 3. The support frame 5 includes a support groove. A cavity plate 6 is provided on one side of the worktable 4, and one end of the cavity plate 6 extends into the support groove. An electric cylinder 10 is provided inside the housing 8. A toothed plate 12 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the electric cylinder 10. A horizontal shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the upper side wall of the housing 8. A gear 15 and a release hook 16 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the horizontal shaft 13. The gear 15 corresponds to and meshes with the toothed plate 12.

[0015] Mounting holes 2 are provided through the four corners of the top surface of the mounting plate 1. The bottom surface of the housing 8 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting plate 1. A foot pedal 17 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the housing 8. The side of the foot pedal 17 facing away from the housing 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pad 3.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, fastening bolts can be inserted into the mounting hole 2. The mounting plate 1 is fixed to the ship deck through the fastening bolts in the mounting hole 2. When installing the mounting plate 1, the output end of the cavity plate 6 must face the water surface. A drifting buoy body 18 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 1. When it is necessary to place the drifting buoy body 18 into the support groove of the support frame 5, the staff can climb onto the work platform 4 through the foot pedal 17 to place the drifting buoy body 18 into the support groove of the support frame 5.

[0017] The cavity plate 6 is inclined, with the output end of the cavity plate 6 lower than the input end. A reinforcing rod 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cavity plate 6, and the end of the reinforcing rod 7 away from the cavity plate 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pad 3.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the release hook 16 separates from the slot on the drift buoy body 18, as Figure 2 As shown, the unrestrained drifting buoy body 18 can move down along the inclined cavity plate 6 under its own weight to fall into the water. The reinforcing rod 7 is used to support and fix the cavity plate 6 to prevent the cavity plate 6 from bending and breaking.

[0019] The electric cylinder 10 has a base 11 on its side wall, and the base 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 8.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric cylinder 10 is installed on the base 11. Activating the electric cylinder 10 can cause the toothed plate 12 to move vertically. The side wall of the toothed plate 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 1.

[0021] A support plate 14 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the horizontal shaft 13, and the side of the support plate 14 away from the horizontal shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 8.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate 14 is used to support the rotation of the horizontal shaft 13. When the toothed plate 12 moves vertically, the horizontal shaft 13 can be rotated by the meshing of the toothed plate 12 and the gear 15, which in turn allows the release hook 16 to rotate.

[0023] There are two housings 8, and the two housings 8 are symmetrically distributed with the axis of the support frame 5 as the center. The upper part of the outer side wall of the housing 8 is provided with a slot 9, and the release hook 16 corresponds to and cooperates with the slot 9.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the release hook 16 can move within the slot 9.

[0025] Working principle: When using this utility model, when installing the mounting plate 1, the mounting plate 1 can be fixed to the external ship deck through the fastening bolts in the mounting hole 2, and the output end of the cavity plate 6 must face the water surface. When it is necessary to place the drifting buoy body 18 into the support groove of the support frame 5, the staff can climb onto the work platform 4 through the foot pedal 17 to place the drifting buoy body 18 into the support groove of the support frame 5. At this time, the release hook 16 is vertical to avoid affecting the placement of the drifting buoy body 18.

[0026] Next, starting the electric cylinder 10 can make the toothed plate 12 move vertically. Through the meshing of the toothed plate 12 and the gear 15, the horizontal shaft 13 can be rotated, which in turn can make the release hook 16 rotate so that the release hook 16 can engage with the slot on the drift buoy body 18 to complete the locking.

[0027] When the vessel arrives at the designated deployment point, the electric cylinder 10 is activated to cause the toothed plate 12 to move in the opposite direction, so that the release hook 16 separates from the slot on the drifting buoy body 18. The unrestrained drifting buoy body 18 can move down along the inclined cavity plate 6 under its own gravity and fall into the water, thereby completing the deployment operation.

[0028] All standard parts used in this invention can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0029] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
