Anti-biological fouling device used for marine instrument

Abstract

The present invention discloses an anti-biological fouling device used for a marine instrument. The device comprises a mounting base, a transmission shaft, a swing rudder, a shifting fork and a cleaning brush. The mounting base sleeves a marine instrument sensor, the swing rudder and the shifting fork are fixedly connected on a square shaft of the transmission shaft through locknuts, a circular shaft of the transmission shaft penetrates a through hole at the center of the square shaft and is fixed on a boss at the side of the mounting base through screw threads, the square can freely rotate around the circular shaft, the cleaning brush is installed at the end portion of the mounting base through screw threads at the lower end of a stand column of the cleaning brush, the brush body of the cleaning brush is freely rotated around the stand column, a brush handle of the cleaning brush is arranged in a U-shaped port of the shifting fork, and the swing rudder drives the motion of the cleaning brush through the shifting fork. The anti-biological fouling device used for a marine instrument employs wave energy to drive the swing rudder, the transmission shaft and the shifting fork are employed to drive the work of the cleaning brush to sweep the working surface of the sensor so as to achieve the purpose of anti-biological fouling and reliably protect the marine instrument for a long time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to marine observation technical equipment, in particular to a marine instrument anti-biological adhesion device. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the increasing frequency of human sea-related activities, ocean observation technology and equipment have developed rapidly. Marine observation instruments can be used to collect many marine environmental parameters such as seawater temperature, salinity, depth, turbidity, chlorophyll, fluorescence, dissolved oxygen, etc. Fields provide data. Every year, a large number of marine instruments are deployed in many oceans around the world, and a considerable part of them are deployed on the surface of seawater to perform observation tasks. The surface layer of seawater has sufficient light and rich nutrients, which is especially suitable for the growth of marine periphytons such as oysters, barnacles, and mussels. When marine organisms attac...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] Aiming at the problem in the prior art that the adhesion of marine organisms affects the normal operation of marine observation instruments, the present invention introduces an anti-adhesion device for marine instruments, which uses the rudder moving with the waves to drive the fork to drive the cleaning device installed on the sensor. Brush, clean the working surface of the sensor repeatedly to prevent the adhesion of the secretions of marine organisms and make them lose the basis of adhesion, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing marine organisms from adhering
