[0050] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0051] like Figure 1As shown, an underwater detection device according to this utility model includes an upper cover plate 1, an electronic compartment 2, a transducer 3, and a flow guide base 4. The upper cover plate 1, the electronic compartment 2, the transducer 3, and the flow guide base 4 are installed in a conformal integrated manner from top to bottom. The upper cover plate 1 and the electronic compartment 2, the electronic compartment 2 and the transducer 3, and the transducer 3 and the flow guide base 4 are all seamlessly integrated into a streamlined whole, which has good fluid performance and reduces resistance during underwater movement. At the same time, the integrated design can provide better overall rigidity and strength, resisting water pressure and water flow impact.

[0052] Both the top cover plate 1 and the flow guide base 4 are provided with fixing interfaces (5) for fixed installation. The fixing interfaces are preferably threaded interfaces, which form a fixed connection by engaging with screws, etc. The top cover plate 1 is provided with a lifting interface 6 for lifting installation. The lifting interface 6 is preferably a threaded interface, which forms a fixed connection by engaging with screws, etc. Through the fixing interfaces and the lifting interface 6, both fixed use and lifting use of the underwater detection equipment can be achieved.

[0053] The top cover 1 is equipped with a transmission interface 5, which connects to an external transmission cable assembly to enable power supply and signal transmission for the device. The transmission interface 5 transmits the detection signal to the dry end via a watertight cable. The top cover 1 also has a reserved installation interface for quick installation of a handling handle for easy handling.

[0054] The flow guide base 4 is equipped with multiple flow guide holes, which are evenly distributed on the base 4. These holes not only guide the flow but also act as counterweights, lowering the center of gravity of the equipment. When used in high-velocity water conditions, this reduces the attitude angle and enhances the stability of the equipment.

[0055] The transducer 3 includes a receiving transducer and a transmitting transducer. The receiving transducer and the transmitting transducer are designed in a conformal integrated manner and are conformal with other components such as the upper base plate 1, the electronic compartment 2 and the flow guide base 4. The whole is characterized by small size and light weight.

[0056] This underwater detection equipment can be fixedly installed or suspended, offering wide adaptability and flexibility. Appropriate installation methods and devices can be selected based on the characteristics of different security areas. The equipment boasts high environmental adaptability and can be applied to various installation platforms such as seabeds, docks, and wind power plants. Furthermore, the underwater detection equipment can be easily recovered and reused in other environmental conditions.

[0057] This utility model also provides a fixed installation device. According to the deployment and installation requirements of underwater detection equipment, the fixed installation device can be installed in two ways: wall-mounted and base-mounted. In actual construction, the appropriate installation method can be selected according to the characteristics of different protection areas.

[0058] Wall-mounted installation can be achieved using a wall-mounted device 7 and a mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket includes a wall-mounted bracket 8 or a vertical bracket 10, and the two different mounting bracket structures correspond to different dock structure types.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the wall-mounted device 7 includes an upper pressure plate 701, a lower base plate 704, and a support column 705. The upper pressure plate 701 and the lower base plate 704 are connected by the support column 705. A non-metallic isolation plate 702 is provided on the upper pressure plate 701, and a non-metallic seat plate 703 is provided on the lower base plate 704. The non-metallic isolation plate 702 and the non-metallic seat plate 703 are arranged opposite to each other, and a positioning hole is provided on the lower base plate 704.

[0060] When installing the underwater detection equipment and the wall-mounted device 7, the underwater detection equipment's guide base 4 and lower base plate 704 are fixed with screws, and the underwater detection equipment's upper base plate 1 and upper pressure plate 701 are fixed with screws, thus clamping and securing the underwater detection equipment. The non-metallic isolation plate 702 and the non-metallic base (703) isolate the underwater detection equipment's housing from the wall-mounted device 7, preventing electrochemical corrosion caused by potential differences. The lower base plate 704 has positioning holes that can be engaged with positioning pins on the wall-mounted bracket 8 or vertical bracket 10 for positioning. During underwater installation, the positioning holes are first aligned with the positioning pins, and then the bolt assembly is used for fixing, reducing the difficulty of underwater operations for divers.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, when the wharf is a caisson structure, such as caisson wharf 9, a wall-mounted bracket 8 with a certain load-bearing capacity is first installed directly on the concrete cantilever or rock wall of caisson wharf 9. The wall-mounted bracket 8 is then fixed to the cantilever or rock wall of caisson wharf 9 using prefabricated bolts or expansion bolts. When deploying underwater detection equipment, the underwater detection equipment is first fixed to the wall-mounted device 7 at the shore end with screws. Then, the entire equipment is hoisted and lowered underwater. Divers adjust the equipment's orientation and attitude underwater, aligning it with the positioning pins on the wall-mounted bracket 8, thus completing the deployment alignment. Divers then fix the wall-mounted device 7 to the wall-mounted bracket 8 using bolts, and the transmission cable is bundled and fixed along the wall-mounted bracket 8. The wall-mounted device 7 fixes the underwater detection equipment at a specific position on the concrete cantilever or rock wall of the wharf, enabling detection coverage of the waters in front of the wharf.

[0062] like Figure 4As shown, when the wharf structure is a pile-foundation structure, such as pile-foundation wharf 13, one end of the vertical support 10 is first inserted into the mud surface. Underwater divers use clamps 12 to fix the vertical support 10 to the cement pile foundation 11. The other end of the vertical support 10 is fixed to the cantilever or rock wall of the pile-foundation wharf 13. When deploying the underwater detection equipment, the underwater detection equipment and the wall-mounted device 7 are first fixed to the shore end with screws. Then, the entire equipment is hoisted and lowered into the water. Divers adjust the orientation and attitude of the equipment underwater and align it with the positioning pin on the vertical support 10, thus completing the deployment alignment. Divers fix the wall-mounted device 7 to the vertical support 10 with bolts, and the transmission cable is bundled and fixed along the vertical support 10, which can achieve detection coverage of the waters in front of the wharf.

[0063] The base-type installation can employ a base device 14 and a base platform. The base platform includes a caisson base 15 or a pile foundation base 16. Both different base platform structures share a single base device 14; only an installation interface needs to be pre-reserved on the base platform.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, the base device 14 includes a non-metallic isolation cylinder 1401 and a transfer platform 1402. The non-metallic isolation cylinder 1401 is mounted on the transfer platform 1402 and houses the underwater detection equipment. The transfer platform 1402 is mounted on the base platform. The non-metallic isolation cylinder 1401 isolates the underwater detection equipment from the base device 14, preventing electrochemical corrosion caused by potential difference. The transfer platform 1402 has a reserved installation interface for the caisson base 15 or the pile foundation 16 and is provided with guide positioning holes, which can be positioned and aligned with the pre-positioned pins on the caisson base 15 or the pile foundation 16, and fixed with bolt assemblies, reducing the difficulty of underwater installation operations for divers.

[0065] like Figures 6 to 7 As shown, the base device 14 secures the underwater detection equipment to the caisson base 15 or pile base 16, enabling 360° detection coverage of the waters surrounding the base. The base device 14 must not only firmly secure the underwater detection equipment but also connect it to the seabed base. The caisson base 15 or pile base 16 should be selected and constructed before equipment installation. During deployment, the underwater detection equipment is first secured to the base device 14 on the shore using screws. Then, the entire equipment is hoisted and lowered underwater. Divers adjust the equipment's orientation and attitude underwater, aligning it with the positioning pins on the caisson base 15 or pile base 16, thus achieving successful deployment. Divers then secure the equipment to the caisson base 15 or pile base 16 using bolts, while the transmission cables are bundled and secured along the components on the base.

[0066] When underwater detection equipment is fixedly installed using a fixed installation device, the installation can be completed relatively conveniently underwater, with less difficulty and less workload in underwater construction.

[0067] This utility model also provides a hoisting and installation device for hoisting and installing underwater detection equipment.

[0068] like Figure 8 As shown, the hoisting and installation device includes a lifting ring 17, a shackle 18, and a rope 19. The rope 19 is connected to the lifting ring 17 via the shackle 18, and the lifting ring 17 is connected to the hoisting interface 6 of the underwater detection equipment. When the underwater detection equipment is hoisted and used, the lifting ring 17 is fixed to the hoisting interface 6 of the underwater detection equipment with screws, and the rope 19 is fixed to the lifting ring 17 via the shackle 18. The rope 19 can be fixed at any reliable position on the vessel 20 without the need for additional interfaces.

[0069] When underwater detection equipment is hoisted and installed using a hoisting and installation device, the operation is convenient, simple, and requires no specific installation platform.

[0070] This utility model addresses the needs for miniaturization, multifunctionality, and convenient installation of underwater target detection equipment, proposing an underwater detection device and its fixing and hoisting installation device. The underwater detection device structure effectively utilizes space, featuring a compact internal design and a streamlined, integrated external shape, with pre-reserved hoisting and fixing interfaces. Furthermore, the underwater detection device is reusable and can be used for both shipboard protection and near-shore security. The installation device for the underwater detection device is adaptable to various environmental conditions, offering ease of deployment, convenient operation, and high maintainability.

[0071] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0072] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the substantive content of this utility model.
