Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of marine electronic equipment installation technology, specifically relating to a shipborne positioning terminal. Background Technology

[0002] The common installation method for shipborne positioning terminals is to directly screw the edge of the terminal to the hull. This method is mostly used in small near-shore vessels or scenarios where the requirements for positioning accuracy and equipment lifespan are low. It was promoted in the early stages when maritime positioning needs were simpler due to its advantages of short assembly time and no additional connecting parts cost.

[0003] However, the continuous mechanical vibration and instantaneous impact during ship navigation are directly transmitted to the inside of the terminal, causing fatigue and detachment of the solder joints of components such as the positioning module crystal oscillator and the communication module antenna interface, and even the internal antenna is separated from the circuit board. The edge of the terminal, as the installation stress point, is also prone to stress cracking due to impact loads, and the plastic shell may even break directly, causing the equipment to fall off, which greatly reduces its protective performance, directly resulting in a short service life of the terminal, high maintenance frequency, and thus increased operation and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a shipborne positioning terminal. Through the design of protective components, the protective components serve as the installation stress points, effectively improving the protection performance of the main body, thereby increasing its service life and effectively reducing maintenance frequency, thus reducing operation and maintenance costs.

[0005] The technical effects to be achieved in this application are realized through the following aspects: This application provides a shipborne positioning terminal, including a main body and a protective component, wherein the main body and the protective component are embedded and connected. The edge of the main body is provided with a plurality of first connecting parts; The protective component includes a housing and a second connecting part. The second connecting part is disposed on the edge of the housing corresponding to the first connecting part. The second connecting part is provided with a limiting groove, and the first connecting part is embedded in the limiting groove. Both the first connecting part and the second connecting part are provided with communicating connecting holes, which are used to fix the main body and the protective component to the hull by screws.

[0006] In some implementations, the protective component further includes a guide block connected to the second connecting portion on the slot side away from the limiting groove, and the guide block is arranged perpendicularly to the housing.

[0007] In some implementations, the housing is provided with a first end and a second end opposite to each other; The protective component also includes a stop block, which is located at the first end and connected to the adjacent guide block.

[0008] In some implementations, the stop block is an arc-shaped stop block.

[0009] In some implementations, the protective component further includes a latching portion located at the first end, and movable holes are formed between the two sides of the latching portion and the housing.

[0010] In some implementations, the latching part includes a plate, a latching block, and an operating handle. The plate is a structure formed by extending from the housing. The operating handle is vertically disposed on the side of the plate away from the housing. The latching block is connected to the plate and disposed between the main body and the plate.

[0011] In some implementations, the main body has a card slot corresponding to the card block, and the card block is embedded in the card slot.

[0012] In some implementations, the card block has a third end and a fourth end opposite to each other, the fourth end is located close to the operating handle, and the height of the fourth end is greater than the height of the third end.

[0013] In some implementations, the operating handle is an L-shaped operating handle.

[0014] In some implementations, a connector is also included, which extends through and connects the main body and the protective component to secure the main body and the protective component.

[0015] In summary, this application has at least the following advantages: The shipborne positioning terminal provided in this application uses a protective component connected between the main body and the hull, which serves as the installation stress point. This allows the continuous mechanical vibration and instantaneous impact during ship navigation to be transferred to the protective component, effectively reducing fatigue detachment of weld points of various components or damage to the main body. This greatly enhances the protective capability, thereby extending the service life of the main body, improving its durability, and also reducing the maintenance frequency, thus lowering the operation and maintenance costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments.

[0024] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] Example 1: Please see the appendix Figure 1-2 The shipborne positioning terminal of this application includes a main body 1 and a protective component 2, with the main body 1 and the protective component 2 being embedded and connected. The edge of the main body 1 is provided with a plurality of first connecting parts 11. The protective component 2 includes a housing 21 and a second connecting part 22, with the second connecting part 22 corresponding to the first connecting part 11 and located on the edge of the housing 21. The second connecting part 22 is provided with a limiting groove 221, and the first connecting part 11 is embedded in the limiting groove 221. Both the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 22 are provided with communicating connecting holes 222, which are used to fix the main body 1 and the protective component 2 to the hull by screws.

[0026] In this embodiment, during the installation of the shipborne positioning terminal, the main body 1 is first embedded into the protective part 2, that is, the first connecting part 11 enters the limiting groove 221, so that the connecting hole 222 of the first connecting part 11 and the connecting hole 222 of the second connecting part 22 overlap. Then, screws are used to penetrate the connecting hole 222 and lock it to the hull, thereby completing the installation of the shipborne positioning terminal.

[0027] With the above setup, the protective component 2 is connected between the main body 1 and the hull. The protective component 2 replaces the main body 1 as the installation stress point, so that the continuous mechanical vibration and instantaneous impact during the ship's navigation are transferred to the protective component 2. This can effectively reduce the phenomenon of fatigue detachment of the weld points of the main body 1 or damage to the main body 1, greatly improve the protection capability of the main body 1, thereby extending the service life of the main body 1, improving its durability, and also reducing the maintenance frequency, effectively reducing operation and maintenance costs.

[0028] In some preferred embodiments, a buffer layer may be provided between the protective component 2 and the main body 1 to further improve the protective performance of the main body 1, effectively buffer the impact force, and improve its service life.

[0029] Example 2: The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, please refer to... Figure 3 The protective component 2 in this embodiment also includes a guide block 23, which is connected to the side of the second connecting part 22 away from the groove of the limiting groove 221, and the guide block 23 is arranged perpendicularly to the housing 21.

[0030] In this embodiment, during the installation of the shipborne positioning terminal, the main body 1 moves along the shell 21 of the protective component 2, so that the first connecting part 11 is embedded in the limiting groove 221. Due to the setting of the guide block 23, the two sides of the main body 1 move along the guide block 23, ensuring the accuracy of the first connecting part 11 entering the limiting groove 221, further shortening the installation time, and effectively improving the installation efficiency and convenience.

[0031] In some embodiments, the housing 21 is provided with a first end 211 and a second end 212 opposite to each other; the protective member 2 also includes a stop block 24, which is provided at the first end 211 and connected to the adjacent guide block 23.

[0032] Specifically, the main body 1 enters from the second end 212. When the entry end of the main body 1 abuts against the inner wall of the stop block 24, it indicates that the main body 1 has moved into place and has been fully embedded in the limiting groove 221 in the protective component 2, thereby completing the movement of the main body 1 and proceeding to the next locking and installation process.

[0033] This setting avoids misalignment between the main body 1 and the protective component 2, improves assembly accuracy, and simplifies assembly operations and speeds up assembly efficiency through the stop block 24.

[0034] In some embodiments, the stop block 24 is an arc-shaped stop block 24. This design makes the corners of the shipborne positioning terminal arc-shaped, avoiding the occurrence of right angles that could be bumped or knocked over, reducing the probability of injury to the operator, and ensuring the operator's safety during installation.

[0035] In some embodiments, the protective member 2 further includes a latching portion 25, which is disposed at the first end 211, and movable holes 26 are formed between the two sides of the latching portion 25 and the housing 21. This arrangement allows the latching portion 25 to further secure the protective member 2 and the main body 1. The movable holes 26 on both sides of the latching portion 25 enhance its flexibility, allowing it to be easily separated from the main body 1 by prying it open, thus facilitating easy and convenient operation.

[0036] For some specific embodiments, please refer to the appendix. Figure 4 The latching part 25 is provided with a plate 251, a latching block 252 and an operating handle 253. The plate 251 is a structure formed by extending from the housing 21. The operating handle 253 is vertically disposed on the side of the plate 251 away from the housing 21. The latching block 252 is connected to the plate 251 and is disposed between the main body 1 and the plate 251.

[0037] Specifically, plate 251 is a contact surface that contacts the main body 1, and locking block 252 is a component used to fix and limit the main body 1. Operating handle 253 controls the up and down movement of plate 251, realizing the state of locking block 252 being fixed to or disengaged from the main body 1. Through the setting of the latching part 25, the main body 1 and the protective part 2 can be further fixed, ensuring the connection stability between the two, providing a stable foundation for the reliable operation of the main body 1, and the disassembly and assembly operations are simple and quick.

[0038] In some embodiments, please refer to the appendix. Figure 5-6 The main body 1 has a corresponding slot 12 for the locking block 252, and the locking block 252 is embedded in the slot 12. Through this setting, the locking block 252 is embedded in the slot 12, which further connects and fixes the protective part 2 and the main body 1, ensuring that the position between the two is restricted. When it is necessary to disassemble, simply remove the locking block 252 from the slot 12 to release the restriction. The overall operation is simple and convenient, and the structural design is simple and ingenious, which is easy to manufacture.

[0039] In some embodiments, the locking block 252 has a third end 2521 and a fourth end 2522 opposite to each other. The fourth end 2522 is located near the operating handle 253, and the height of the fourth end 2522 is greater than the height of the third end 2521. Specifically, when the main body 1 slides along the guide block 23 of the protective member 2, the third end 2521 of the locking block 252 first contacts the slot 12, and finally the fourth end 2522 of the locking block 252 contacts the slot 12, thus completing the locking block 252's entry into the slot 12. By setting the height of the fourth end 2522 to be greater than the height of the third end 2521, it is easier for the main body 1 to move smoothly on the plate 251 in the protective member 2, avoiding any jamming during the movement of the main body 1. It also facilitates easy and quick assembly by the operator, achieving convenient and efficient assembly.

[0040] In some embodiments, the operating handle 253 is an L-shaped operating handle 253. With this configuration, when the operator needs to disengage the locking block 252 from the locking slot 12, they simply lift the operating handle 253, causing the locking block 252 to leave the locking slot 12, and then move the protective member 2 to misalign the locking block 252 and the locking slot 12. The L-shaped operating handle 253 facilitates the operator applying force to it, improving operational convenience. Preferably, the surface of the operating handle 253 may be provided with anti-slip protrusions to increase the friction between the operator and the operating handle 253, making it easier to operate and ensuring easy and convenient operation.

[0041] Example 3: The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that the shipborne positioning terminal in this embodiment further includes a connector, which runs through the main body 1 and the protective component 2 to fix the main body 1 and the protective component 2. Preferably, the connector can be a locking screw, thereby further fixing the main body 1 and the protective component 2. The connector can be located in the middle of the main body 1 and the protective component 2 to ensure balanced force and achieve stability between the two.

[0042] In this embodiment, the main body 1 and the protective component 2 are integrated into one unit via a connector, enabling a modular structural design. During installation, there is no need for separate alignment and fixing of the main body 1 and the protective component 2, simplifying the installation process, shortening the installation time per unit, facilitating rapid installation of the shipborne positioning terminal, and improving installation efficiency. Furthermore, during ship navigation, it can significantly offset the impact of continuous mechanical vibration and instantaneous impact on the connection structure, reducing the risk of loosening between the main body 1 and the protective component 2, significantly improving the stability of the connection, and thus ensuring the continuous protective effect of the protective component 2 on the main body 1.
