[0034] In this embodiment, the communication component 2 and the power supply component 3 constitute an easily detachable underwater acoustic communication device according to this application.

[0035] It should also be understood that the communication module 21 and the power module 31 are common knowledge in the field. They are only used and not modified, so the control method and circuit connection will not be described in detail.

[0036] It should be noted that the outer casing 1 is cylindrical and made of aluminum alloy. The outer casing 1 protects the internal communication component 2 and power component 3. The disassembly component 22 facilitates the disassembly of the communication module 21, thereby achieving waterproofing and easy maintenance of the device.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the user first inserts the communication module 21 into the inside of one side of the outer casing 1, and then rotates two sets of knobs 221.

The locking post 225 slides in the sliding groove 226, and the limiting rod 224 is limited in the rotating block 223 until one end of the sliding rod 222 reaches the locking groove 227 of one end of the communication module 21. Then, the user rotates the rotating block 223 by 90 degrees, and the locking post 225 on the sliding rod 222 rotates 90 degrees through the limiting rod 224. Then, the user rotates the knob 221 in the opposite direction, and the sliding rod 222 slides toward the knob 221. The locking post 225 abuts against the locking groove 227, locking the position of the communication module 21 inside the outer casing 1. At the same time, one end of the communication module 21 is sealed with the outer casing 1 by a sealing ring to prevent water ingress and malfunction.

[0038] Specifically, a sealing ring is provided at the connection point between the communication module 21 and the outer casing 1 near the disassembly component 22.

[0039] In this embodiment, the sealing ring prevents moisture from seeping into the communication module 21, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the device.

[0040] In some embodiments, the communication module 21 includes a transmitter responsible for converting electrical signals into sound wave signals and transmitting them, a receiver for receiving sound wave signals transmitted from the water and converting them back into electrical signals, and a modem for modulating and demodulating the signals to ensure that data can be effectively transmitted via sound waves.

[0041] Understandable, Figure 2 The diagram only schematically illustrates some of the components included in the communication module 21; the actual shape, size, location, and construction of these components are not subject to change. Figure 2 Due to limitations, communication module 21 may also include, compared to Figure 2 More or fewer parts.

[0042] Specifically, the disassembly assembly 22 includes: a knob 221, rotatably disposed on the outer side of the housing 1 near the communication module 21; a sliding rod 222, sliding inside the housing 1 near the communication module 21, with an external thread at the end away from the communication module 21, which engages with the internal thread of the knob 221; a rotating block 223, rotating on the outer wall of the housing 1 near the communication module 21, with the sliding rod 222 sliding inside the rotating block 223; a limiting rod 224, disposed on the sliding rod 222, sliding inside the rotating block 223; a locking pin 225, disposed at the end of the sliding rod 222 away from the knob 221, sliding inside the housing 1 near the communication module 21; a sliding groove 226, formed on both sides of the housing 1 near the communication module 21, with the locking pin 225 sliding inside the sliding groove 226; and a locking slot 227, formed on both sides of the communication module 21, with the locking pin 225 locking into the locking slot 227.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the knob 221 is made of circular plastic, the sliding rod 222 is made of metal, the rotating block 223 is made of semi-circular metal, the limiting rod 224 is made of metal, the locking post 225 is made of metal, the sliding groove 226 is made of elongated metal, and the locking groove 227 is made of elongated metal. The knob 221 controls the sliding rod 222 to slide, and the locking post 225 is locked in the locking groove 227, thereby realizing the fixing and disassembly of the communication module 21, simplifying the disassembly process and facilitating maintenance.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] Based on Example 1, the communication module 21 is then powered by the power module 31 connected to the line. The power module 31 with the sliding block 33 is then inserted into the groove 34 of the outer shell 1 away from the communication module 21 until the sliding block 33 slides to the bottom of the groove 34. The compression spring 35 at the bottom of the power module 31 is compressed. Then, the user rotates the power module 31 ninety degrees, and the sliding block 33 slides to one end of the groove 34. At this time, the power module 31 is released, and the compression spring 35 returns to its original position, generating an upward force to push the sliding blocks 33 on both sides of the power module 31 into the groove 34. Then, the hatch 32 is closed, and the two sides are connected to the outer shell 1 away from the communication module 21 by bolts. The hatch 32 and the outer shell 1 are sealed by a sealing ring to prevent water ingress and malfunction.

[0046] Specifically, the power supply component 3 includes: a power module 31, disposed inside the housing 1 on the side away from the communication module 21; a cover 32, bolted to the outside of the housing 1 on the side away from the communication module 21; a sliding block 33, disposed on both sides of the outside of one end of the power module 31; a sliding groove 34, formed inside the housing 1 on the side away from the communication module 21, and sliding within the sliding groove 34; and a compression spring 35, disposed inside the housing 1, with one end welded inside the housing 1 and the other end abutting against the bottom of the power module 31 near the sliding block 33.

[0047] In this embodiment, the power module 31 is made of cuboid plastic, the cover 32 is made of circular metal, the sliding block 33 is made of cuboid plastic, and the slide groove 34 is made of elongated metal. The power module 31 supplies power, the cover 32 protects the power module 31, and the sliding block 33 slides in the slide groove 34, which facilitates the installation and removal of the power module 31.

[0048] Specifically, the hatch 32 is bolted to both sides of the outer shell 1 and sealed with a sealing ring.

[0049] Among them, the hatch 32 encloses the power supply component 3, and the sealing ring prevents moisture from seeping in, thus enhancing the waterproof performance.

[0050] In actual use, the user first inserts the communication module 21 into the inside of one side of the outer casing 1. Then, by rotating the two sets of knobs 221, the knobs 221 engage one end of the sliding rod 222 with their threads, causing the sliding rod 222 to slide towards the communication module 21. The locking pin 225 slides within the sliding groove 226, and the limiting rod 224 is limited within the rotating block 223 until one end of the sliding rod 222 reaches the locking groove 227 at one end of the communication module 21. Then, by rotating the rotating block 223 ninety degrees, the user causes the locking pin 225 on the sliding rod 222 to rotate ninety degrees through the limiting rod 224. Next, the user rotates the knob 221 in the opposite direction, causing the sliding rod 222 to slide towards the knob 221, and the locking pin 225 abuts against the locking groove 227, locking the communication module 21 in the position inside the outer casing 1. At the same time, one end of the communication module 21 is sealed to the outer casing 1 by a sealing ring to prevent water ingress and malfunction. The communication module 21 is then powered by the power module 31 via a line connection. The power module 31 with the sliding block 33 is then inserted into the groove 34 at the end of the outer shell 1 away from the communication module 21 until the sliding block 33 slides to the bottom of the groove 34. The compression spring 35 at the bottom of the power module 31 is then compressed. The user then rotates the power module 31 ninety degrees, and the sliding block 33 slides to one end of the groove 34. At this point, the power module 31 is released, and the compression spring 35 returns to its original position, generating an upward force that pushes the sliding blocks 33 on both sides of the power module 31 into the groove 34. The hatch 32 is then closed, and the two sides are bolted to the end of the outer shell 1 away from the communication module 21. The hatch 32 is sealed to the outer shell 1 with a sealing ring to prevent water ingress and malfunction.
