Description

The technical field to which the utility model belongs.

The utility model relates to the field of underwater technology, in particular to means for maintenance and repair of underwater equipment, in particular diving equipment.

State of the art.

To ensure long-term reliable use of underwater submersible equipment and equipment, in particular diving equipment, in offshore waters, after completion of work, it is required to be desalinated (washed with fresh water) followed by drying. This is often done poorly, by watering with tap water from hoses, using improvised containers, etc. In the case of performing work with guaranteed quality, with certified equipment, this approach is unacceptable and it is necessary to have special equipment for desalination. The key element is a container of a suitable size into which fresh water is poured. Traditionally, such containers are various tanks or baths.

Underwater technical work is carried out by a team of specialists, usually on site, and to ensure independence of the work from local conditions, all necessary equipment is brought with them. At the same time, the equipment requiring desalination can be quite large in overall length. This forces the use of containers of appropriate dimensions and weight, which complicates transportation, forcing the use of appropriate vehicles. In addition, even in the case of stationary use of containers, they must be transported to the installation site and installed in existing premises, which is also not very convenient in the case of a large longitudinal dimension of the container. Depending on the underwater submersible equipment and equipment, the desalination tanks must be of a variety of sizes, therefore there is a need to design and manufacture tanks of different sizes. This complicates production and increases the number of tanks for operators.

It is known to use a container for transporting a wetsuit or another container (for example, a bucket) to desalinate submersible underwater equipment, into which clean fresh water is poured and a certain amount of shampoo is added. You can also clean your wetsuit in the washing machine. To do this, select the most gentle washing mode with a temperature of up to 30 degrees. If you wash a neoprene product in very hot water, the structure of the material may be damaged. In addition, no spinning is used, which can also damage the equipment (Stages of washing a neoprene wetsuit. Found 09/11/2023 on the Internet at: https://www.open-dive.ru/how/kak-stirat-gidrokostyum). However, such containers do not provide high-quality cleaning and are difficult to use compared to a washing machine.

The essence of the invention.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is the efficiency of the desalination process due to the selection of the optimal size of the bath in which cleaning will be carried out in accordance with the size of the underwater equipment and equipment.

The technical result is achieved by creating a bath for desalination of submersible underwater equipment, containing a frame, which is a collapsible structure consisting of two end sections and one or more central sections connected end-to-end with bolted connections, wherein the central section is made in the form of a metal welded frame , with an internal bent metal sheet of casing riveted to it, and from below the metal welded frame is equipped with adjustable screw supports, the end section is made in the form of a metal welded frame, with an internal bent metal sheet of casing riveted to it with rivets and from the end a side metal sheet of casing, in the lower part of which has a window for the passage of a drain valve; Moreover, the metal welded frame is equipped with adjustable screw supports at the bottom, an insert is secured with screws inside the frame, equipped with a drain valve with two rubber gaskets and a nut, and the insert is made of folding, waterproof, durable elastic polymer material, in the lower part of the side metal sheet of the casing there is a hole for inserting a drain valve , which is hermetically embedded into the hole in the liner using two rubber gaskets and a nut and is brought out through a window in the side metal sheet of the end section sheathing.

In the preferred embodiment, the liner is made to fit tightly to the surfaces of the internal bent metal sheets of the casing and from the end to the surfaces of the side metal sheets of the casing of the frame sections under the influence of a distributed mass of water poured into it.

Detailed description of the implementation of the utility model.

The desalination bath for submersible underwater equipment operates as follows (see Figs. 1, 2, 5-7). The bathtub frame set 1, consisting of central 5 and end 6 sections, a folded liner 2, a set of screws 4 and bolted connections 7, has relatively small transport dimensions.

Previously, on the selected platform 21 at the place where the bath is installed, the frame 1 is assembled from the end sections 6 and the central sections 5 on bolted connections 7. Then, by setting the heights of the adjustable screw supports 8, the unevenness of the platform 21 is compensated and a horizontal position of the upper edge of the frame 1 is achieved, while all adjustable screw supports should rest on platform 21 as evenly as possible, which will ensure subsequent uniform distribution of the weight of the filled bath. Thus, the bathtub does not require flatness of the site for its installation. Next, a previously laid out liner 2 is placed into the assembled frame 1, straightened, checking for damage, and secured along the edges of the frame 1 with screws 4. The drain valve 3 is cut into the hole 16 of the liner 2 using two rubber gaskets 22 and a nut 23 through the window 15 of the end section 6. The bath is ready for use. Close drain valve 3 and fill the bath with fresh water to the required level, then carry out desalination and other necessary procedures with submersible underwater equipment.

The working tank has a length corresponding to the size and dimensions of the submersible underwater equipment, which ensures high efficiency of the desalination process. The proposed design allows you to select the optimal length of the bath in which cleaning will be carried out in accordance with the size of the underwater equipment and equipment being cleaned. In addition, the supplied water can be changed by a drain valve, which also ensures efficient cleaning of underwater equipment.

Thus, the created bath for desalination of submersible underwater equipment ensures the efficiency of the desalination process, has small transport dimensions, is undemanding to the flatness of the installation site, while allowing the weight of the poured water to be evenly distributed. The sectional design allows you to easily change the length of the bath, changing only the liner, which greatly simplifies production and operation.
