A 3D printed light buoy device and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a 3D printed lighted buoy device and a manufacturing method thereof. The 3D printed lighted buoy device comprises a lighted buoy main body mechanism, a bottom counterweight mechanism and a counterweight block mechanism, wherein the lighted buoy main body mechanism comprises a lighted buoy main body, a cable connector, a cable, a storage battery and an external threaded connection ring, the lighted buoy main body is of a cylindrical structure, the external threaded connection ring is integrally formed on the lower surface of the lighted buoy main body, and the lighted buoy main body is internally sealed and wrapped with the cable and the storage battery; one end of the cable is electrically connected with the storage battery, and the other end of the cable is electrically connected with the cable connector; the shell of the cable connector is integrally formed with the upper surface of the lighted buoy main body; the bottom counterweight mechanism is connected with the external threaded connection ring; and the counterweight block mechanism is connected with the bottom counterweight mechanism. The 3D printed lighted buoy device has the advantages of being lowin cost, convenient to maintain, and capable of being used stably for a long time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of 3D printing, in particular to a 3D printed light buoy device and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] The light buoy is a kind of navigation aid mark equipped with a beacon light floating on the water surface. It is generally fixed in the ocean with anchors and anchor chains to mark the range of the channel, indicate shoals, and obstacles to ensure navigation safety. At night, the light buoys flash or glow intermittently to guide ships sailing at night. The most commonly used light buoys use batteries or dry batteries as energy sources. Some light buoys are also equipped with radar transponders, radio pointers, fog alarm signals and marine survey instruments and other equipment. [0003] Although there are many types of materials used for light buoys, there are steel, FRP-coated steel plates, and high-molecular polyethylene. Compared with traditional steel light buoys, polymer plastic l...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In this way, most of the light buoy cables are exposed outside, which is prone to aging and corrosion, so that the light buoy cannot continue to work

At the same time, the light buoys on the market can only be equipped with a single power generation device such as solar or wind power generation device or wave power generation device. If the structure needs to be improved so that it can be equipped with multiple power generation devices, the injection mold must be remade, which is very expensive.
