Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shallow-water self-sinking and floating profile buoys, in particular to a shallow-water self-sinking and floating profile buoy based on flexible solar energy materials and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Self-sinking and floating profiling buoys are a new type of ocean observation instrument. This type of buoy has the characteristics of easy deployment, small size, light weight, low manufacturing cost, and easy maintenance. It is not affected by weather conditions and severe sea conditions. The ocean observation array composed of self-sinking and floating profiling buoys can autonomously, long-term, stably, and uninterruptedly collect profile data from the sea surface to the set depth for many marine environmental parameters such as seawater temperature and pressure. The profile data collected has important practical significance for the research of marine science, the development and utilization of marine resources, and the prediction of marine disasters. Self-sinking and floating profiling buoys are cyclical working modes. After the buoy is deployed, it floats on the water surface to complete testing, self-inspection, communication, and positioning, then dives to the specified depth, then moves upward to the sea surface, and performs a series of profile measurements during this ascent. Once it surfaces, it locates and communicates through satellites, sends the collected data and receives new mission instructions, then dives again and works in a cycle. The buoy uses a buoyancy adjustment system to change the displacement volume to achieve automatic rising and diving. During this working process, the buoy is only powered by its own battery. When the battery is exhausted, the buoy dies.

[0003] At present, most of the self-sinking and floating profiling buoys are disposable buoys. Once deployed, they are no longer recovered and maintained. Therefore, in order to maintain long-term profile observations, new profile buoys need to be continuously added, resulting in high costs for maintaining observations. Due to cost and energy constraints, the design and expansion of profile buoys are also subject to certain constraints. Therefore, extending the service life of buoys is the primary direction of the development of profile buoys. If the service life of buoys is extended, more profile data can be collected, and fewer buoys need to be redeployed each year, which is conducive to reducing observation costs and reducing related pollution caused by buoy deployment and death. At the same time, sufficient energy supply is also an important support for the development of new functions of profile buoys in the future. Summary of the invention

[0038] Preferably, the inner oil bag 103a is used to store oil, and the plunger pump 103f drives the oil in the oil circuit to flow. A damping hole is arranged inside the oil circuit pipe, and the damping hole is used to limit the flow rate to prevent damage to components caused by instantaneous pressure changes. The outer oil bag 103L is fixed to the lower end of the buoy, and its volume change will affect the displacement volume of the buoy to realize the floating and diving of the buoy.

The flexible material has a small thickness, light weight, a large bending angle, little impact on the buoy body structure, and is simple and reliable. In order to achieve efficient collection of solar energy, the buoy shell adopts high-strength light-transmitting materials, such as acrylic resin. The material has excellent strength performance and can be used as a shell to resist seawater pressure and current impact between the sea surface and the set water depth in the shallow sea.

Otherwise, the buoy will dive directly to start a new cycle of tasks.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, provides a shallow sea self-sinking and floating profile buoy based on flexible solar energy materials and a method thereof, including:

[0046] S1: Throw the buoy into the shallow sea;

[0047] S2: Control the hydraulic system through the microcontroller;

[0048] S3: The hydraulic system is adjusted to make the buoy sink;

[0049] S4: The hydraulic system is adjusted to make the buoy float up, absorb solar energy, convert it into electrical energy, and sink again.

[0050] Furthermore, the microcontroller regulates and controls the hydraulic system.

[0051] Furthermore, the hydraulic system is adjusted to allow the hydraulic oil to enter the outer oil bag, thereby increasing the volume of the outer oil bag, and affecting the volume of the buoy's water discharge through the change in the volume of the outer oil bag.

[0052] Furthermore, the hydraulic system adjusts the buoy to float upward, the swing hydraulic cylinder 103j adjusts the buoy's posture, and the flexible solar panel 104c absorbs light energy and converts it into electrical energy to charge the battery 104b.

[0053] When in use, the buoy is dropped into the shallow sea, and the hydraulic drive system 103 can realize the functions of oil discharge and oil return. When the buoy floats up, the hydraulic drive system performs the oil discharge operation, the first two-position two-way electromagnetic reversing valve 103b and the fourth two-position two-way electromagnetic reversing valve 103e are opened, and the second two-position two-way electromagnetic reversing valve 103c, the third two-position two-way electromagnetic reversing valve 103d and the fifth two-position two-way electromagnetic reversing valve 103i are closed, and the oil is pumped from the inner oil bag 103a into the outer oil bag 103L, the volume of the buoy increases, the buoyancy increases, and the buoyancy is realized;

[0054] When the buoy dives, the hydraulic drive system 103 performs an oil return operation, the second two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103c and the third two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103d are opened, the first two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103b, the fourth two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103e and the fifth two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103i are closed, and the oil is pumped from the outer oil bag 103L into the inner oil bag 103a, the volume of the buoy is reduced, the buoyancy is reduced, and the dive is achieved.

[0055] The two-position four-way electromagnetic reversing valve 103g controls the oil delivery direction of the two fluid circuits of the swing hydraulic cylinder 103j; the swing hydraulic cylinder 103j, with a mass block 103k loaded at the end, can realize rotation in different directions according to the different oil delivery paths, thereby changing the center of gravity of the buoy and changing the posture of the buoy. The rotation angle is determined by the amount of oil input.

[0056] After the buoy completes communication on the sea surface and starts to collect solar energy, it first drains oil to maximize the volume of the outer oil bag 103L. Then, the first two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103b and the fifth two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103i are opened, and the second two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103c and the third two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103d and the fourth two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103e are closed, and the oil inlet and outlet directions of the two-position four-way solenoid reversing valve 103g are changed to realize oil delivery and pressurization of one channel of the swing hydraulic cylinder 103j, so that the position of the mass block 103k is moved up, the center of gravity of the buoy is moved up, the buoy buoyancy distance is increased, the stability is reduced, and the vertical state cannot be maintained. The buoy body rotates 90° and floats on the sea surface in a horizontal posture;

[0057] After the buoy finishes collecting solar energy, the oil inlet and outlet directions of the two-position four-way solenoid reversing valve 103g are changed to pressurize the oil supply to the other channel of the swing hydraulic cylinder 103j, and the mass block 103k returns to its original position, the center of gravity of the buoy moves downward, the second two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103c and the third two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103d are opened, and the first two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103b, the fourth two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103e and the fifth two-position two-way solenoid reversing valve 103i are closed, and the return oil reduces the volume of the outer oil bag 103L, and the buoy returns to the vertical state and begins to dive.

[0058] The above-mentioned hydraulic swing system design scheme utilizes the two-position four-way electromagnetic reversing valve 103g and the swing hydraulic cylinder 103j to realize the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the mass block. The total rotation angle range is 0° to 180°, and the required space is relatively small.

[0059] In summary, the present invention combines advanced flexible solar panels with profile buoys for the first time to design a self-sinking and floating profile buoy suitable for shallow seas. The buoy is powered by batteries. When it floats to the sea surface, it can use flexible solar panels to convert solar energy into electrical energy to charge the battery, thereby extending the service life of the buoy. The flexible material has a small thickness, light weight, a large bending angle, little impact on the buoy body structure, and is simple and reliable. In order to achieve efficient collection of solar energy, the buoy shell adopts high-strength light-transmitting materials, such as acrylic resin. The material has excellent strength performance and can be used as a shell to resist seawater pressure and ocean current impact between the sea surface and the set water depth in the shallow sea. At the same time, the material has excellent optical properties and a light transmittance of more than 90%, which is conducive to the efficient power generation of solar energy materials attached to the inner wall. In order to achieve efficient collection of solar energy, a hydraulic swing system is provided. The center of gravity of the buoy is adjusted by rotating the position of the mass block, thereby changing the posture of the buoy, so that the body is rotated 90° and floats horizontally on the sea surface, reducing the impact of sea surface wind and waves on the body, and making the body exposed to the water surface have a larger lighting area. In order to achieve efficient collection of solar energy, a workflow of this solar buoy is provided. When the buoy conducts satellite communication on the sea surface, it will comprehensively analyze the sea condition information and lighting conditions to judge the sea condition conditions and power generation conditions. If the sea condition is good and the light is sufficient, the buoy will stay on the sea surface for a long time to collect solar energy. Otherwise, the buoy will dive directly to start a new cycle of tasks.
