Abstract
Marine eXpendable Bathythermograph (XBT) launching system is used to launch detecting probes into the ocean quickly and efficiently and has been researched for many years. The probes will measure the ocean parameters of depth and temperature during droppings which make the device with the merits of real-time, fast and wide spreading. The automatic pulling mechanism of probe plug is an important part of XBT automatic launching system which improves the shortcoming of hand-held launch method of XBT probe. This development mentioned a kind of automatic extraction mechanism for probe’s plug fixed the probe. The lever is adopted here to magnify the tensile force in order to draw out the plug in limited stroke. That will make sure the full-automatic launching of expendable probes. In tests, the successful dropping rate is over 95 % and save time over 50 % more than hand-held method which prove the automatic extraction mechanism effect and reliable. The mechanism also can be used into various automatic launchers of expendable probes through a little configuration adjust. Its broad application prospect is viewed.
Highlights
Expendable bathythermograph (XBT) is used to measure the ocean temperature and depth for scientific investigation, environment monitoring and military oceanology [1, 2]
XBT mainly consisted of three parts that is measuring probe, launching gun, and deck processing unit
In the objective marine area, the launching gun launches the probe into the ocean and there are connected by a transmission line
Summary
Expendable bathythermograph (XBT) is used to measure the ocean temperature and depth for scientific investigation, environment monitoring and military oceanology [1, 2]. XBT mainly consisted of three parts that is measuring probe, launching gun, and deck processing unit. The sensors on the probe obtain the depth and temperature in real time Those parameters are transmitted back to the deck processing unit via transmission line. DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATIC PULLING MECHANISM OF PROBE PLUG IN MARINE EXPENDABLE BATHYTHERMOGRAPH LAUNCHING SYSTEM. The bad sea state will endanger the operators and hinder the measurement Based on those shortcomings, we carried on a research of automatic launching system of XBT probes. G directs to upwards and is perpetual to the supporting plane This force keeps the plug from slipping down. According to force analyses, the magnitude of pulling force should be larger than that of G G , which guarantee the plug be pulled out successively
