Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underwater topographic surveying technology, and in particular to a device for fixing the transducer of a rubber boat depth sounder. Background Technology
[0002] The transducer in a depth sounder is a key component that enables the conversion between electrical and acoustic energy. Its working principle is as follows: In an echo sounder, the transmitting transducer converts electrical oscillation signals into mechanical vibration signals, that is, converts electrical energy into acoustic energy, and emits ultrasonic pulses underwater. When the ultrasonic waves encounter an obstacle (such as the seabed), they are reflected back. The receiving transducer then converts the reflected sound wave signals back into electrical oscillation signals, that is, converts acoustic energy into electrical energy, thereby achieving depth measurement. Currently, some civilian inflatable boats use ropes to secure the transducers of their depth sounders. This method is not only cumbersome but also prone to loosening during use, which is not only unsafe but also interferes with the measurement data, leading to increased measurement errors. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above technical problems, this utility model provides a transducer fixing device for reducing measurement errors in a rubber boat depth sounder.
[0004] This utility model provides a transducer fixing device for a rubber boat depth sounder, characterized in that it includes a fixing base, a sleeve and a transducer connecting rod, wherein the fixing base is fixedly connected to the sleeve and the sleeve is detachably connected to the transducer connecting rod.
[0005] The mounting base has a mounting groove in the middle, and the mounting base is Z-shaped.
[0006] Multiple fixing tubes are evenly distributed and fixed on the inner wall of the sleeve, and the number of fixing tubes is even. Multiple adjusting components are evenly distributed on the upper and lower parts of the sleeve, and each adjusting component is detachably connected to the sleeve by a thread.
[0007] The adjusting element is a screw.
[0008] A retaining ring is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the transducer connecting rod.
[0009] The retaining ring is an elastic retaining ring.
[0010] This utility model provides a transducer fixing device for a rubber boat depth sounder, characterized in that it further includes a counterweight, which is placed in a mounting groove.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a transducer fixing device for a rubber boat depth sounder. By setting a fixing seat, the fixing seat can be stably placed on the rubber boat body. By equipping a counterweight, the counterweight can be selected according to the load of the rubber boat body to prevent the fixing seat from undergoing large displacement. This device can maintain the stability of the transducer during the measurement process, improve work efficiency and reduce measurement errors. At the same time, the installation steps of the transducer are simple to operate, shorten the installation time and improve work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a transducer fixing device for a rubber boat depth sounder, characterized by including a fixing base 1, a sleeve 2, and a transducer connecting rod 4. The fixing base 1 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 2, and the sleeve 2 is detachably connected to the transducer connecting rod 4.
[0016] A mounting slot is provided in the middle of the fixing base 1, and the fixing base 1 is Z-shaped.
[0017] Multiple fixing tubes 21 are evenly distributed and fixed on the inner wall of the sleeve 2. The number of fixing tubes 21 is even. Multiple adjusting parts 3 are evenly distributed on the upper and lower sides of the sleeve 2. Each adjusting part 3 is detachably connected to the sleeve 2 by a thread.
[0018] Adjustment component 3 is a screw.
[0019] A retaining ring 41 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the transducer connecting rod 4.
[0020] Snap ring 41 is an elastic snap ring.
[0021] This utility model provides a transducer fixing device for a rubber boat depth sounder, characterized in that it also includes a counterweight 6, which is placed in a mounting groove. Example 2
[0022] This invention, when not using a counterweight: (e.g.) Figure 3 As shown, first, place the fixing seat 1 (without sleeve 2) at the bottom of the inflatable boat body 5, and rest the other end on the side edge of the inflatable boat body 5. Then, slowly insert the transducer connecting rod 4 into the sleeve 2 from bottom to top and fix it with the adjusting piece 3. Next, snap the transducer onto the retaining ring 41, which is an elastic retaining ring. The connecting wire of the transducer is threaded from bottom to top into the fixing tube 21. There are multiple fixing tubes 21; only one with a suitable position can be selected for use. The wire is then wound around the transducer connecting rod 4 using the connecting piece. Finally, place the base flat. Figure 5 As shown.
[0023] At this point, the transducer can be submerged in water by 40-50 centimeters, which makes the data collected by the transducer more stable. Example 3
[0024] When the present invention does not use a counterweight: as shown in the steps of embodiment 2 above, if the fixed seat 1 is shaking, a counterweight 6 of appropriate weight can be selected and placed in the mounting slot of the fixed seat to further fix the fixed seat 1.
