[0003] Most existing components for instrument brackets mounted on the edge of a tilting ship are connected by welding. When a component is damaged, it is difficult to remove the damaged component from the bracket for replacement. Replacement usually requires complete disassembly, which increases the capital investment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem that this utility model aims to solve in view of the above-mentioned prior art is that most of the existing components suitable for installation on the edge of an inclined ship are connected by welding. When a component is damaged, it is difficult to remove the damaged component from the bracket for replacement. When replacing it, it is mostly necessary to disassemble the whole thing, which will increase the capital investment.

[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An instrument bracket suitable for installation on the edge of a sloping ship's hull includes a mounting base fixed to the hull by bolts; a insertion groove is provided on the side of the mounting base, a connecting block is movably inserted into the insertion groove, and a connecting frame is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block; a pair of limiting grooves are provided inside the mounting base, the limiting grooves communicating with the insertion groove, and a slider is movably inserted into the limiting groove; a pair of symmetrically distributed mating grooves are provided on the surface of the connecting block; a pair of air inlet pipes are fixedly connected to the side of the mounting base, and a switch valve is provided on the air inlet pipe, the air inlet pipe communicating with the limiting groove.

[0006] As a further improvement of this application, a spring sheet is fixedly connected to the side of the slider, and the end of the spring sheet away from the slider is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0007] As a further improvement of this application, when one end of the slider enters the docking groove, the spring sheet is in a stretched state.

[0008] As a further improvement of this application, there is a gap between the side of the slider near the spring sheet and the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0009] As a further improvement of this application, the end of the slider near the spring plate is not opposite to the air intake pipe, and there is a gap between them.

[0010] As another improvement of this application, a protective tube is movably sleeved on the outside of the air intake pipe, and a threaded hole is opened on the side of the protective tube. An adjusting rod is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole. A semi-circular ring is movably sleeved on one end of the adjusting rod. The semi-circular ring is sleeved on the connecting bracket. There is a gap between the end of the adjusting rod away from the semi-circular ring and the inner wall of the threaded hole. A pair of reinforcing grooves are opened on the side of the mounting base for movably inserting into the protective tube.

[0011] As a further improvement to this application, the end of the protective tube away from the adjusting rod is fixedly connected to a bonding block, which is fixed to the mounting base by bolts.

[0012] This application has the following beneficial effects when used: 1. When the connecting bracket is damaged and needs to be removed from the mounting base for replacement, the switch valve on the air inlet pipe should be opened to allow the gas in the limiting groove to be removed from the air inlet pipe, thereby removing the limiting effect of the gas on the slider. Then, under the action of the spring plate, it will pull the slider, causing one end of the slider to move out of the docking groove and into the limiting groove. Finally, the connecting block can be removed from the insertion groove, thereby removing the connecting bracket from the mounting base. Then, the above steps are repeated to install the intact connecting bracket on the mounting base. When using this application, it is convenient for personnel to disassemble and replace the damaged components without replacing the entire bracket, thereby reducing losses. Moreover, the disassembly and assembly steps are simple and easy for personnel to operate.

[0013] 2. After installing the connecting bracket on the mounting base, insert one end of the protective tube into the reinforcing groove to fit it onto the air intake pipe. Then, use bolts to install and fix the fitting block on the mounting base, thereby fixing the protective tube to the outside of the air intake pipe. The protective tube protects the air intake pipe, reducing damage caused by river water or seawater and preventing foreign objects from entering the air intake pipe. Then, rotate the adjusting rod so that one end moves outward from the threaded hole, while the other end rotates inside the semi-circular ring, pushing the semi-circular ring towards the connecting bracket to fit it onto the connecting bracket. The semi-circular ring clamps the connecting bracket, improving its stability. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The two embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] First implementation method: Figure 1-4 An instrument bracket suitable for mounting on the edge of a sloping ship's side is shown, comprising a mounting base 1, which is fixed to the ship's side by bolts; The mounting base 1 has a plug-in groove 2 on its side, and a connecting block 3 is movably inserted into the plug-in groove 2. A connecting bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 3. The mounting base 1 has a pair of limiting grooves 5 inside, the limiting grooves 5 communicate with the insertion groove 2, and a slider 6 is movably inserted inside the limiting grooves 5. The surface of the connecting block 3 has a pair of symmetrically distributed mating grooves 8. A pair of air inlet pipes 9 are fixedly connected to the side of the mounting base 1. A switch valve is provided on the air inlet pipe 9, and the air inlet pipe 9 communicates with the limiting groove 5.

[0018] A spring plate 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the slider 6, and the end of the spring plate 7 away from the slider 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 5.

[0019] When one end of the slider 6 enters the docking groove 8, the spring sheet 7 is in a stretched state.

[0020] There is a gap between the side of the slider 6 near the spring plate 7 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 5.

[0021] The end of the slider 6 near the spring plate 7 is not opposite to the air intake pipe 9, and there is a gap between them.

[0022] The application is used in the following steps: Installation: Fix the mounting base 1 to the ship's side with bolts, then move the slider 6 so that the ends of the pair of sliders 6 that are close to each other enter the limiting groove 5. Then insert the connecting block 3 into the insertion groove 2. After inserting the connecting block 3, open the switch valve on the air inlet pipe 9 and use an external air inflation device to inflate the air inlet pipe 9. Then the gas will pass through the air inlet pipe 9 and enter the limiting groove 5, thereby increasing the pressure in the limiting groove 5. Then, under the action of the gas, the slider 6 will pull the spring plate 7 to move together to the side closer to the connecting block 3, thereby stretching the spring plate 7 and inserting the end of the slider 6 away from the spring plate 7 into the docking groove 8, thereby fixing the connecting block 3, and then installing and fixing the connecting bracket 4 on the mounting base 1. Disassembly: When the connecting bracket 4 is damaged and needs to be removed from the mounting base 1 for replacement, the switch valve on the air inlet pipe 9 should be opened to allow the gas in the limiting groove 5 to be removed from the air inlet pipe 9, thereby removing the limiting effect of the gas on the slider 6. Then, under the elastic force of the spring plate 7, it will pull the slider 6, causing one end of the slider 6 to move out of the docking groove 8 and into the limiting groove 5. Finally, the connecting block 3 can be removed from the insertion groove 2, thereby removing the connecting bracket 4 from the mounting base 1. Then, repeat the above steps to install the intact connecting bracket 4 on the mounting base 1.

[0023] In summary, when using this application, it is convenient for personnel to disassemble and replace damaged components without having to replace the entire bracket, thereby reducing losses. Furthermore, the disassembly and assembly steps are simple and easy for personnel to operate.

[0024] Second implementation method: This embodiment adds the following structure based on the first embodiment, while the rest remains the same as the first embodiment, as detailed below: Figure 4-5 The air intake pipe 9 is shown to be externally fitted with a protective tube 10. The protective tube 10 has a threaded hole on its side. An adjusting rod 11 is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded hole. A semi-circular ring 12 is movably fitted at one end of the adjusting rod 11. The semi-circular ring 12 is fitted on the connecting bracket 4. There is a gap between the end of the adjusting rod 11 away from the semi-circular ring 12 and the inner wall of the threaded hole. A pair of reinforcing grooves 13 are provided on the side of the mounting base 1 and are movably inserted into the protective tube 10.

[0025] The protective tube 10 is fixedly connected to a bonding block 14 at the end away from the adjusting rod 11, and the bonding block 14 is fixed to the mounting base 1 by bolts.

[0026] This solution allows for the following steps: After the connecting frame 4 is installed on the mounting base 1, one end of the protective tube 10 needs to be inserted into the reinforcing groove 13 to fit onto the air intake pipe 9. Then, the fitting block 14 is installed and fixed on the mounting base 1 using bolts, thereby fixing the protective tube 10 to the outside of the air intake pipe 9. The protective tube 10 protects the air intake pipe 9, reducing damage caused by river water or seawater and preventing foreign objects from entering the air intake pipe 9. Then, the adjusting rod 11 is rotated so that one end moves outward from the threaded hole, while the other end rotates within the semicircular ring 12, pushing the semicircular ring 12 towards the connecting frame 4 to fit onto the connecting frame 4. The semicircular ring 12 clamps the connecting frame 4, improving its stability.
