Utility Model Implementation

The lever mechanism can be implemented, for example, consisting of a floating base 1, on which a horizontal crossbar 3 is mounted in the bearing supports 2, which is connected to electric motors 5 through a pair of gearboxes 4. Two levers 6 are fixed on the horizontal horizontal crossbar 3, at the ends of which in the bearing supports 7 a load 8 is installed, in which a pair of make contacts 9 and 10, a guide 11 and a float 12 are placed.

Above the load 8 or in its upper part, for example, an underwater restaurant module 13 can be installed with wide viewing windows 14, a lock hole 15 and external light sources 16.

A power plant 17 and a compressor 18 are installed at the floating base 1. In addition, the load 8 is connected to the discharge outlet 20 of the compressor 18 through one hose and a shut-off valve 19, and is connected to the atmosphere through another hose and a shut-off valve 21.

On the bearing bearings 2 and 7, clamps are installed (not shown in the drawings). A through hole in the load 8 is made in its lower part (not shown in the drawings).

Reducers 4 can be made in the form of a belt drive, chain transmission and gear transmission.

Depending on the purpose of the linkage, several types of removable modules can be used.

In one embodiment of the lever mechanism, a transparent hemisphere 22 with a lock hole 23 and external light sources 24 can be used as the upper part of the load.

In this embodiment of the linkage mechanism, the hemisphere-shaped upper part 22 is used to familiarize yourself with the underwater world, and if 4 or more pairs of levers 6 with weights 8 and modules 22 are used, then the device is used as an underwater surface ferris wheel. In this case, the levers 6 are fastened to each other on the axis of the horizontal beam 3, at equal angles to each other, and to increase the rigidity of the structure, the pairs of levers 6 are interconnected by pairs of beams 25.

In one embodiment, the lever mechanism can be used for underwater excavation, namely, deepening the bottom, cleaning the bottom, mining, etc.

At the same time, a rotary platform 26 is installed in the lower part of the load 8, on which an excavator bucket 28 is mounted in the axis 27, with a hydraulic drive 29. In this embodiment of the linkage mechanism, an exhaust pipe is provided, one end of which is located at the excavator bucket 28, the pipe itself is laid along one of the levers 6 and ends at the floating base 1 with a pump and a filter module (not shown in the drawings).

In one embodiment, the linkage mechanism can be used for underwater technical work, namely for laying pipelines and cable lines, as well as for various repairs.

In this embodiment, a rotary platform 26 is installed at the bottom of the load 8, on which one or more manipulators 29 are mounted in the form of tongs with hydraulic actuators 30. Also on the platform 26 are light sources 31 and one or more video cameras 32.

Next, the operation of the linkage when using it as an underwater restaurant (see Fig. 1) is demonstrated.

The initial position of the link mechanism is shown in FIG. 1, while the retainer bearings 2 and 7 hold the levers 6 in a horizontal position. Cargo 8 has a low water level.

Through the airlock 15, personnel and visitors to the underwater restaurant enter the module of the underwater restaurant 13, after which everyone occupies the installed seats and tightly closes the airlock 15.

To ensure the necessary temperature, humidity and gas composition of the air in the underwater restaurant 13 include air conditioning.

With insufficient lighting, as well as when using the underwater restaurant 13 at night, turn on the internal and external light sources 19 to provide the opportunity to get acquainted with the underwater world through wide viewing windows 17.

In the case of the execution of levers 6 telescopic with a hydraulic actuator, depending on the depth, the staff selects the optimal length of the levers 6.

At the beginning of the mechanism, the float 12 closes the contact 10, while the valve 21 opens and air starts to escape from the load 8. Following the liquid level in the load 8, the float 12 rises upward along the guide 11, as soon as the float 12 rests against the make contact 9, the valve 21 closes, the latches release the bearings 2 and 7, and the load 8 begins to move the module 13 to a depth.

As soon as the levers 6 take a vertical position, the bearing bearings 2 and 7 are fixed and the underwater restaurant 13 is used for its intended purpose.

At the end of the operation of the underwater restaurant 13, or at some other arbitrary point in time, the compressor 18 is turned on, the valve 19 is opened, and the compressor 18 through the discharge outlet 20 pumps air into the load 8 until the float 12 closes the contact 10. When this compressor 18 is turned off, the valve 19 is closed, and the latches of the bearing supports 2 and 7. open. Restaurant 13 pops up.

The mechanism when using the upper part 22 (transparent hemisphere) can work in the mode of studying the underwater world. In this mode, when the levers 6 are engaged in an upright position, the technical personnel in the manual mode unlocks the bearings of the bearings 2 and 7 and, by controlling the electric motors 5, makes an arbitrary orientation of the levers b. In the case of the manufacture of levers 6 telescopic with a hydraulic drive, technicians can also adjust the length of the levers 6 to better familiarize themselves with the underwater world.

The mechanism can be implemented in the form of an underwater surface ferris wheel (Fig. 2). In this case, instead of one pair of levers 6, 4 or more pairs are used, fastened on the axis of the horizontal beam 3 at equal angles to each other. Moreover, the mechanism is similar to the work of an underwater restaurant, except that the cycles of changes in the average density of goods 6 are synchronized with each other.

A useful effect of the operation of the device is to ensure the versatility of using one lever mechanism to perform a wide range of tasks through the use of removable modules.
