Ocean buoy resisting marine organism attachment

Abstract

Disclosed is an ocean buoy resisting marine organism attachment. The ocean buoy resisting marine organism attachment comprises a buoyancy force supporting mechanism and a buoy box body which is arranged on the buoyancy force supporting mechanism. A length wise channel is arranged in the buoy box body, an opening at the bottom end of the length wise channel forms a hatch, and a lifting mechanism is arranged in the buoy box body. An instrument frame is capable of entering and exiting out of the hatch of the buoy box body through the lifting mechanism, and a sensor is arranged in the instrument frame. Besides, when the ocean buoy is in a utilization mode, the bottom of the buoy box body is above the water surface. Compared with the prior art, the ocean buoy resisting marine organism attachment has the advantages that the buoy box body is placed on the water surface through the buoyancy force supporting mechanism, utilization of the instrument frame is achieved through the movement of the lifting mechanism. When the instrument frame is not used, the instrument frame is lifted to the interior of the buoy box body and is prevented from contacting with seawater for a long time, marine organism attachment can be effectively prevented, and a maintenance period can be prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a marine buoy. Background technique [0002] Marine environmental monitoring is an important means of marine development and protection, and the state of the marine environment and its changing trends have attracted much attention. Marine buoys are a common platform for marine environmental monitoring and a carrier for the deployment of marine monitoring instruments. The ocean buoys of the whole project are divided into two parts: the water part and the underwater part. The water part is equipped with a variety of meteorological element sensors to measure the wind speed respectively. wind direction. air pressure. Meteorological elements such as temperature and humidity; the underwater part has sensors for various hydrological elements to measure waves separately. ocean currents. tide level. Ocean sensing elements such as sea temperature and salinity. The signals generated by each sensor are automatically processed by th...

Problems solved by technology

However, because ocean buoys are far away from land, it is inconvenient to change batteries. Now many ocean buoys are equipped with solar energy storage devices, and some also use wave energy and solar energy storage, which greatly reduces the number of battery replacements and makes ocean buoys more convenient and economical.

[0004] Most of the existing marine buoys are facing two biggest problems of anti-wind and wave and anti-adhesion because they float on the water surface: first, the buoy box floats on the water surface, and waves, especially in strong wind and waves, have great impact on the buoy box. big security risk

Second, the instruments in the buoy box are soaked in seawater for a long time, which is easy to attach organisms, resulting in shortened service life of the instruments, shortened maintenance cycle, and increased maintenance costs
