Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tide gauge mounting brackets, specifically a tide gauge mounting and fixing device. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of my country's marine industry, the intensity of marine scientific surveys and marine environmental monitoring has been continuously increased, and various modern marine survey instruments are being used more and more widely. Among them, the tide gauge is a device with built-in high-precision pressure and temperature sensors, enabling high-precision observation of water temperature and level. It plays a role in early warning of marine disasters, can monitor coastal tide levels in real time, accurately detect abnormal water level increases, provide data support for early warning of marine disasters such as storm surges, reduce tide level forecast errors, and understand the dynamic changes of coastal ecosystems by monitoring tide level changes. During use, the tide gauge needs to be installed and secured with a fixed bracket to enhance its stability when used underwater.
[0003] Therefore, we propose a tide gauge mounting and fixing device for installing and fixing the tide gauge. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems in the background art, this utility model provides a tide level meter installation and fixing device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A tide gauge mounting and fixing device includes a fixing frame, which comprises a base frame and a top frame. The top frame is located at the upper middle part of the base frame and the two are fixedly connected by four sets of connecting columns. A mesh perforated plate is provided in the inner middle part of the base frame, and a mounting plate is provided in the lower middle part of the top frame. The mounting plate is located between the base frame and the top frame and is located in the upper middle part of the mesh perforated plate. A limiting component includes four sets of positioning pins, which are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom end of the base frame. The limiting component also includes ground anchors.
[0007] Preferably, the ground anchor is movably mounted on the outer side of the base frame.
[0008] Preferably, a cross-shaped load-bearing frame is provided on the inner center of the top frame, and the mounting plate is fixedly installed on the bottom center of the load-bearing frame.
[0009] Preferably, the base frame has threaded mounting holes at all four corners of its bottom end, and the head of the positioning pin has an external thread structure, with the head of the positioning pin being threadedly connected to the threaded mounting hole.
[0010] Preferably, both ends of the top frame are provided with lifting rings.
[0011] Preferably, the base frame, top frame, connecting column, mesh perforated plate, load-bearing frame and mounting plate are welded together to form an integrated frustum-shaped structure.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] In this design, the mounting frame is designed as an integrated frustum-shaped structure. This frustum-shaped structure provides high strength and resistance to pressure, ensuring stability underwater. Furthermore, by incorporating limiting components, including four sets of positioning pins and ground anchors, the positioning pins are pressed into the underwater surface during use to limit and fix the mounting frame. The ground anchors further enhance the stability of the mounting frame underwater, effectively improving the stability of the tide gauge when used underwater. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problems of the background technology mentioned above. The overall idea is as follows: by setting the fixing frame as an integrated four-sided frustum structure, the four-sided frustum structure of the fixing frame can play a stabilizing role, thereby maintaining stability at the bottom of the water. In addition, during use, by pressing the positioning nail 10 into the bottom of the water, the fixing frame can be limited and fixed. Then, in conjunction with the ground anchor 8, the positioning is further limited, which further enhances the stability of the fixing frame installed at the bottom of the water, and plays a role in preventing moisture and water flow, thereby effectively enhancing the stability of the tide gauge when used at the bottom of the water.
[0019] Example: Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown, this embodiment of a tide gauge installation and fixing device includes a fixing frame, which includes a base frame 1 and a top frame 2. The top frame 2 is located at the upper middle part of the base frame 1, and the two are fixedly connected by four sets of connecting columns 3. A mesh perforated plate 4 is provided in the inner middle part of the base frame 1, and a mounting plate 6 is provided in the lower middle part of the top frame 2. The mounting plate 6 is located between the base frame 1 and the top frame 2, and is located at the upper middle part of the mesh perforated plate 4. A limiting component includes four sets of positioning pins 10, which are respectively set at the four corners of the bottom of the base frame 1. The limiting component also includes a ground anchor 8, which is movably installed on the outer side of the base frame 1. The ground anchor 8 mainly plays the role of limiting. When the current occurs at the bottom of the water and causes the fixing frame to move, the ground anchor 8 can limit and fix the fixing frame. With the action of the four sets of positioning pins 10, the stability of the fixing frame when placed at the bottom of the water is effectively enhanced, and the current movement is prevented.
[0020] In some examples, a cross-shaped load-bearing frame 5 is provided on the inner middle of the top frame 2, and the mounting plate 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom middle of the load-bearing frame 5.
[0021] In some examples, the four corners of the bottom of the base frame 1 are provided with threaded mounting holes 9, and the head of the positioning pin 10 is provided with an external thread structure. The head of the positioning pin 10 is threaded to the threaded mounting hole 9, which makes it convenient for the staff to install and remove the positioning pin 10. When the fixed frame needs to be deployed to the bottom of the water, the positioning pin 10 needs to be installed for limiting and locking, which enhances the stability of the fixed frame on the bottom of the water. When it is not in use, the fixed frame is placed on a boat or on the ground. At this time, the positioning pin 10 needs to be removed to facilitate the movement and transportation of the fixed frame.
[0022] In some examples, both ends of the top frame 2 are equipped with lifting rings 7, which are connected to the lifting ropes of the hoisting equipment, thereby facilitating the hoisting equipment to lift and place the fixed frame.
[0023] In some examples, the base frame 1, top frame 2, connecting column 3, mesh perforated plate 4, load-bearing frame 5, and mounting plate 6 are welded together to form an integrated frustum-shaped structure. This integrated structure can enhance the strength and pressure resistance of the entire mounting frame, thereby improving the stability of the tide gauge when it is installed on the bottom of the water. Furthermore, the frustum-shaped structure of this mounting frame can enhance the weight at the bottom and maintain stability.
[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0025] During use, staff need to fix the tide gauge on the mounting plate 6, then connect the hoisting rope of the hoisting equipment to the hoisting rings 7 at both ends of the top frame 2, and then use the hoisting equipment to drop the fixed frame into the water area for use.
[0026] The base frame 1 has a perforated mesh plate 4 installed in the middle of its inner side. The perforated mesh plate 4 mainly protects the fixed frame from falling onto protruding underwater rocks, which could damage the tide gauge installed in the middle position. In addition, the mesh holes in the perforated mesh plate 4 allow water to drain out, which reduces buoyancy and enhances the stability of the fixed frame during descent. When the fixed frame descends to the bottom of the water, its own weight will press the positioning nail 10 into the bottom surface, thereby limiting and fixing the fixed frame. In addition, the ground anchor 8 can further enhance the stability of the fixed frame installed on the bottom of the water, thus effectively enhancing the stability of the tide gauge when used underwater.
[0027] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
