Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an installation protection device for a multi-beam transducer. Background Technology

[0002] Typically, a multi-beam transducer consists of a transmitter and a receiver, which need to be mounted on a fixed bracket during use. The brackets that come with multi-beam transducers are relatively simple and do not provide sufficient protection for the transducer. If there is a collision or scratch during measurement, the transducer can easily be damaged.

[0003] Secondly, the transducer needs to be placed in water for measurement. When the measurement vessel is navigating, the water flow will continuously impact the transducer, affecting the transducer's reception and transmission of sound waves and generating noise, thus affecting the quality of the collected data.

[0004] Therefore, an installation protection device for multi-beam transducers is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide an installation protection device for multi-beam transducers, which can effectively protect the transducers.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an installation protection device for a multi-beam transducer, comprising:

[0007] case;

[0008] The shell is composed of a rectangular shell and a trapezoidal shell connected together, and the front part of the rectangular shell is connected to an arc-shaped flow guide shell;

[0009] The front two sides of the housing are connected to a plurality of first threaded sleeves for connecting the receiver;

[0010] The rear of the housing is connected to two second threaded sleeves for connecting the transmitter.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a flange, which is welded to the back of the housing, and a plurality of third threaded sleeves are connected to the inner side of the housing. The holes of the flange corresponding to the positions of the third threaded sleeves are used to connect the transducer rod.

[0012] Preferably, it further includes a first support structure plate, which is connected between the plurality of first threaded sleeves for reinforcement.

[0013] Preferably, it also includes a second support structure plate, with each of the second threaded sleeves having a second support structure plate connected to both sides for reinforcement.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a protective cover that covers the housing to protect the internal equipment.

[0015] Preferably, it also includes three sets of fasteners, which are respectively connected to the two sides and the rear end of the outer wall of the protective cover, and the two sides and the rear end of the protective cover are connected with hooks that are adapted to the fasteners.

[0016] Preferably, both the housing and the protective cover are made of stainless steel.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The installation and protection device for this multi-beam transducer uses a stainless steel housing. The front arc-shaped guide shell provides excellent flow guidance, and all installation structural parts are reinforced to ensure the overall strength of the housing. Underwater, it effectively protects the transducer, significantly reducing the impact of water flow during navigation, reducing noise data, and improving data quality. Simultaneously, a protective cover is provided. When the device is not in use, the protective cover, combined with the housing, forms an effective protective space, protecting the transducer from scratches and collisions. This solves the installation and protection problem of multi-beam transducers during use and non-use; it reduces the direct impact of water flow on the transducer during surveying vessel navigation, and improves the quality of acquired data.
