[0041] common, the present invention is a kind of universal mounting system, and it allows the commutative use between one or more assembling sets of various annexes, and this assembling set is fixed to surface or structure easily, for example portlast of ship.Universal mounting system comprises the assembling set with tube, and this is configured to receive the insertion member of annex.Preferably, when inserting member was positioned at tube fully, the locking mechanism on the assembling set engaged inserting member automatically.In addition, locking mechanism preferably with the irrelevant to rotation direction of inserting member engage inserting member.Insert on the member and along the interlocking spline of the tube of assembling set fixing inserting member on the sense of rotation of hope.The part of in fact any annex or device can both transform as and comprise the insertion member that is used for universal mounting system of the present invention.
[0042] should be appreciated that and the invention provides a kind of assembling set that it shows low profile, be fused in the portlast smoothly, so that when installation accessories not, assembling set can not damage the portlast zone.Because this system is suitable for almost each annex peculiar to vessel, so the selection of mounting point is very simple.A plurality of assembling sets can be arranged in place easily equally spacedly along portlast.The shipowner can add extra assembling set along with the annex demand only from a small amount of assembling set.If added extra assembling set to rearrange annex or to increase annex, original assembling set still can play a role, and arranges expediently, and is ready for any annex, perhaps using in the future.
[0043] with reference now to as shown in Figure 1 front view and the exploded view of Fig. 2, an embodiment of universal mounting system of the present invention comprises general assembling set 10, this general assembling set generally includes main body 12, this main part limitation has the relatively large tube 14 of diameter of center hole 16, this center hole has the internal diameter of wounded in the battle key 18, and this internal diameter is configured to the receiving belt spline or does not have the inserting member of spline.The U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60/842 of application on September 6th, 2006,794 have described the relevant more details that are suitable for the annex of general assembling set of the present invention with the U. S. application (application number is to be allocated) that the name of application in 2 days July in 2007 to be examined jointly is called " Universal Mounting System (universal mounting system) ", and the full content of these two pieces of applications is incorporated herein by reference.
[0044] example of wounded in the battle key inserting member as shown in Figure 3, its generally include the top that is used for ancillary attachment and with general assembling set 10 interactional bottoms.Fig. 3 shows that it comprises housing 22 than the front view of fan Buddhist nun (bimini) assembling set 20, and this casing structure is for receiving rod, bar or other frame element of top.Screw 24 is used for framework locking is put in place.Bottom than fan Buddhist nun assembling set 20 comprises insertion member 26, and this insertion member has the diameter that fits snugly in the tube 14.Complementary splines 28 on the insertion member 26 is configured to cooperate the spline 18 on the general assembling set 10.
[0045] thereby, inserted general assembling set 10 fully in case insert member 26, spline 18 and 28 joint just can prevent to rotate.In the embodiment shown, spline is approximately perpendicular to the face orientation of main body 12 along the 22.5 ° of layouts in circumferencial direction interval.Can use less spline, but this can limit the quantity that the position is guided in the possible rotation of inserting member.Also can use more spline with the how different rotational position of realization, but this can impair system.The no spline part of insertion member 26 allows this inserting member partly to insert general assembling set 10 and rotates freely.When reaching the direction of hope, insertion completely engages to prevent further rotation spline 18 and 28, also engages locking mechanism 30 and groove 34, thereby prevents to insert moving of member 26, activated up to trigger 32.
[0046] general assembling set 10 preferably includes the locking member 30 that is activated by trigger 32, and this locking member is configured to engage the annular radial groove 34 that is positioned at spline 28 tops of inserting member 26.The joint of locking member 30 in radial groove 34 prevents to insert member 26 and moves along the longitudinal axis of tube 14.In addition, radial groove 34 is consistent along the circumferencial directions that insert member 26 preferably, so that locking member 30 can be with engaging of this radial groove and the irrelevant to rotation direction that inserts member 26.Thereby locking member 30 prevents that inserting member from recalling, and activated up to trigger 32.In addition, in the time of in locking member 30 is bonded on groove 34, spline 18 and 28 maintains their interlocking position, so that it is rotatably fixing to insert member 26.
[0047] in other is used, insert member 26 and can be configured to not wounded in the battle key, so that it can rotate freely in general assembling set 10.Preferably, radial groove 34 is also operated and is used for inserting member is locked in the general assembling set 10.
[0048] degree of depth of tube 14 can change the type that can be used for the inserting member of general assembling set 10 with restriction.For example, when general assembling set 10 was constructed by stainless steel, aluminium, other metal and alloy or other high-strength material, tube 14 had the length of appointment.Therefore, require the inserting member of high strength assembling set, for example bar fixture, capstan winch fixture, cloth bait supplementary device (downriggers) etc., the insertion member 26 that is designed to have respective length.On the contrary, when general assembling set 10 when constructing than low-intensity material, for example for the consideration of cost or weight, tube 14 is configured to have short length, this length can not receive the long member 26 that inserts that expectation will bigger power passes to the annex of assembling set 10.Expect that the inserting member that bears high load can be configured to than short insertion member 26, this short insertion member both can be received by the socket joint than length of high strength assembling set, also can be received by the shorter length of low-intensity assembling set.
[0049] alternatively, the quantity and spacing of spline can change with the use of restriction annex under different assembling sets.Usually, wish that the high strength assembling set receives all annexes, but low intensive relatively assembling set should only receive light-duty annex.In other words, heavy annex has the spline pattern that is fit to heavy assembling set, and light-duty annex has the spline pattern of suitable heavy type and light-duty assembling set simultaneously.
[0050] spline 18 along the hole 16 circumference arrange regularly.In case inserting member is positioned at general assembling set 10, the complementary splines 28 on the inserting member is locked at inserting member on the sense of rotation of appointment.Thereby, the rotation inserting member, thus the annex that connects is installed on a plurality of angles that horizontally rotate.
[0051] in one embodiment of the invention, general assembling set 10 has lacked one or more splines 18.When the corresponding inserting member with coupling configuration was used for this assembling set, this inserting member can only guide angle to insert a rotation.The annex that need clearly aim at or guide when this feature is guaranteed to insert can only insert along a direction.The annex that for example comprises electrical connection, the aligning of electric contact is extremely important in this annex.
[0052] preferably, the inlet in hole 16 is tapered and is beneficial to introduce inserting member.Similarly, the incident edge of spline 18, spline 28 and locking member 30 has lead-in chamfered, for example about 60 °.When being configured in inserting member is placed on general assembling set 10, recalls automatically locking member 30.Locking member 30 is spring biased, so that locking member 30 is just engaging the radial groove 34 on the inserting member.The guide portion 36 of spline 28 and the inclined-plane incident edge cooperation of locking member 30, thus insertion force causes locking member 30 to be recalled.The trailing edge that should be appreciated that locking member 30 preferably is not oblique, so that its engagement grooves 34 just, prevents moving of inserting member, up to utilizing trigger 32 to recall locking member 30.Because groove 34 insert member 26 around continuously, so locking member 20 in all rotation insertion positions can both with engage grooves.In certain embodiments, O shape ring is arranged in groove 34 tops, with the surface of contact between buffering and protection annex and the general assembling set 10.
[0053] thereby, when coupling not, general assembling set 10 is showed low-down attitude.Preferably, general assembling set 10, more preferably, extends in about scope of 5 to 20mm above installation surface less than about 40mm from the installation surface projection.
[0054] as mentioned above, Fig. 2 has shown the exploded view of general assembling set 10.For the consideration of intensity, preferably form main body 12 usually, for example by casting, milling or molding method by single piece of material.The top of main body 12 is shown as plat surface, and this surface is configured to securely the installation surface against general planar.Screw 40, packing ring 42 and nut 44 can be used for general assembling set 10 is fixed on any suitable surface, for example portlast.Mounting plate 46 distributes connection power on the zone of broad.Liner 48 is arranged on each face of installation surface.Locking member 30 is assemblied in the groove 50 in the main body 12, by plate 52 supportings.Screw 54 is fixed to locking member 30 with trigger 32.Spring 56 is bias voltage locking member 30 inwards, with the groove 34 on the automatic joint insertion member 26.Preferably, the pivotal axis of locking member 30 overlaps to gain in strength with a screw 40.
[0055] equally preferably, main body 12 has whole eyelet 58.This is that rope, rope or line have generated tie point easily, allows the user that various article directly are fixed to general assembling set 10.For example, eyelet 58 can be used for the fixing rod attaching means, particularly when the annex that is used for general assembling set 10 is the bar fixture.Eyelet 58 can also be used for fixing backplate, towel or any other proper object.
[0056] in the embodiment shown, screw 40 is along 90 ° of layouts in circumferencial direction interval of circle.This allows to drill through from the teeth outwards 4 mounting holes of standardization series with the fixed installation part.Because mounting hole is at interval even on identical radius, so general assembling set can utilize 4 identical borings to be fixed on 4 different directions.Similarly, the circumferencial direction interval along circle gets out 8 mounting holes for 45 °.This allows general assembling set 10 to be arranged on 8 different directions.
[0057] preferably, tube 14 has the internal diameter less than about 75mm.More preferably, tube 14 has the internal diameter that arrives in the 50mm scope about 25.Should be appreciated that this diameter enough greatly guaranteeing that system has the sufficient intensity that is used for the high load annex, but this diameter is small enough to also allow general assembling set 10 to use on various surfaces, this surface comprises the portlast of most of ships.Another advantage of the diameter of tube 14 is that it is configured to allow make easily battery-powered annex, because it can hold the diameter of conventional dryelement cell together with housing.
[0058] in another aspect of the present invention, provide the general assembling set of simplification for the purpose that stores, it has the hole of suitable dimension, and optional locking mechanism.Many these assembling sets are positioned at place far away, allow annex not store reliably when using.This assembling set need not bear high load, thereby can be by the lighter material structure of weight, so that more economically.
[0059] Figure 4 and 5 have shown the front view and the exploded view of another annex that is suitable for universal mounting system respectively, and promptly the adjustable rod fixture 60.The same with other annex that is designed for general assembling set 10, bar fixture 60 is characterised in that the wounded in the battle key with above-mentioned general characteristic inserts member 26.The top of bar fixture 60 comprises arm 62, and arm 62 has swivel joint 64 in contiguous end of inserting member 26.The pipe 66 that is configured to receive the fishing rod butt end is arranged in the other end of arm 68.If fishing rod disposes gimbal, then be positioned at the gimbal interaction of shackle (bail) 70 with the fishing rod of pipe 66 1 ends.Shackle 70 is preferably designed for and is pivoted to out of the way position when being used to not have the bar of gimbal.Trigger 72 operations are used for adjusting the direction of swivel joint 64 between the angle of a plurality of hope.
[0060] the traditional rod fixture of displaying pivot movement uses and is positioned near the joint of bar butt end.Although use the easier design of this structure to have the fixture of sufficient intensity, because the butt end of bar and the interference between the portlast, bar can not be placed along Vertical direction.
[0061] shown in Figure 4 and 5, swivel joint 64 arrange to make away from pipe 66 can be from the butt end of the base portion movement rod of bar fixture.Therefore, the bar that is arranged in the pipe 66 can be placed on the vertical position, can not knock portlast simultaneously.In addition, this has stayed bulk zone with in conjunction with trigger 72 on arm 62, and this trigger allows bar is being arranged or do not having under the situation of bar and can both easily adjust.Specifically, it allows the operator to catch the front portion of bar with a hand, catches bar fixture 60 with the another hand simultaneously.If fish is arranged on the bar, then pull lever and bar fixture 60 make bar enter the fight state so that fish hook hooks fish to the operator simultaneously backward.Bar fixture 60 can also be arranged as permission and remove bar easily.
[0062] as shown in detail in Figure 5, trigger 72 activates locking members 74, this locking member by spring 76 along downward direction bias voltage, to engage the guide groove 78 on the swivel joint 64.Arm 62 is pivotably connected to swivel joint 64 by axle 80.Shackle 70 comprises two pins 82 that are positioned at two ends, and this pin cooperates with packing ring 84.Pipe 66 has the groove 86 that is configured to receive packing ring 84.Should be appreciated that this connection set allows shackle to pivot around the axis that pin 82 forms, cause pipe 66 inside not have projection and the bar butt end that is arranged in the pipe to interfere.Rubber bush 88 protections occupy the bar in pipe 66.
[0063] as mentioned above, when going back to the vertical position, following turning point is set up the long lever arm of skipping portlast.This vertical position is desirable for the bar of storage off working state, has eliminated the needs of more traditional storage-pole fixture, and this need be total and necessary on most of fishing boats.Therefore, bar fixture 60 can also can be used as the storage fixture as the bar fixture of initiatively going fishing.In addition, as all annexes that are configured to general assembling set 10, bar fixture 60 can be removed when not going fishing and be substituted by another annex.
[0064] bar fixture 60 has described rotating and regulating mechanism, and this regulating mechanism is locked at fixture great majority are used desirable position.For example side portlast assembling set, crossbeam assembling set and vertical storage position.The design of locking mechanism allows the bar in the fixture 60 to do simple adjustment between these positions, is in course of adjustment simultaneously not have the danger that bar fixture or bar fall.In addition, positive lock feature prevents that fixture 60 from rotating to forward location, to minimize the chance that bar skids off and loses.
