[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.
[0026] Embodiment 1:
[0027] Combined with Figures 1-4A buoy for real-time monitoring of water environment is shown, including a buoy body 1, which is the core part of the whole device, with good buoyancy and stability, and can remain floating under various water conditions. A water quality sensor 2 is arranged at the bottom of the buoy body 1. This sensor can monitor various water quality parameters in the water body in real time, such as temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, etc. These data are crucial for evaluating water quality conditions and environmental changes. An environmental monitoring component 3 is arranged at the top of the buoy body 1. This component is responsible for capturing a variety of information related to the water body's surrounding environment. The environmental monitoring component 3 includes a base 301 arranged on a height adjustment mechanism 4. This base 301 provides a stable support structure. A wind direction monitor 302 is arranged on the base 301, which is specifically used for detecting and recording the direction of air flow. This is crucial for understanding local climate conditions and predicting weather changes. A humidity sensor 303 and a barometric pressure sensor 304 are respectively arranged on both sides of the wind direction monitor 302. The configuration of these two sensors is for multi-dimensional environmental monitoring. The humidity sensor 303 can monitor the moisture content in the air in real time, which is very important for fields such as weather forecasting and environmental research. The barometric pressure sensor 304 is responsible for measuring the atmospheric pressure and providing key information about weather system changes, especially playing an important role in warning of extreme weather events. A height adjustment mechanism 4 is arranged between the buoy body 1 and the environmental monitoring component 3. The height adjustment mechanism 4 is used to control the height of the environmental monitoring component 3, allowing the height of the environmental monitoring component 3 to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, so as to ensure stable use under different water levels and environmental conditions. Several groups of counterweight rods 5 are also arranged at the bottom of the buoy body 1. Several groups of counterweight rings 6 are evenly distributed on the counterweight rods 5 to increase the center of gravity stability of the buoy and reduce the shaking phenomenon during floating. Several groups of connection grooves 7 are formed on the counterweight rings 6. A counterweight component 8 is arranged between several groups of connection grooves 7. Further, according to specific situations, the counterweight component 8 is increased to change the draft of the buoy body 1 and improve the overall stability of the buoy under special weather conditions.
[0028] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1The height adjustment mechanism 4 shown includes a slider 401 fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the buoy body 1. A rack 402 is slidably arranged in the slider 401, thereby allowing the environmental monitoring component 3 to move smoothly in the vertical direction. A driving motor 403 is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the slider 401. A gear 404 is arranged on the rotating shaft of the driving motor 403. The gear 404 meshes with the rack 402. A limiting plate 405 is arranged at the bottom of the rack 402. The environmental monitoring component 3 is arranged on the top of the rack 402 to achieve power transmission. When the driving motor 403 operates, the rotation of the gear 404 drives the rack 402 to move along the track of the slider 401, thereby changing the height of the environmental monitoring component 3. This mechanical linkage design effectively improves the accuracy and response speed of the adjustment. To ensure the safety and reliability of the system, a limiting plate 405 is also arranged at the bottom of the rack 402. The limiting plate 405 can effectively prevent the rack 404 from exceeding the predetermined adjustment range, making it more reassuring when adjusting the height.
[0029] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 3 A hanging ring 9 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the counterweight rod 5 shown. The hanging ring 9 facilitates subsequent connection of the anchor hook device and facilitates the fixation of the position of the buoy.
[0030] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 3 The counterweight assembly 8 shown is an indispensable part, mainly used to provide additional stability and downward pressure to ensure the balance of the device on the water surface. Its quantity can be increased according to specific situations. It includes counterweight members 801. A plurality of sets of pull rod assemblies 802 matching the connection grooves 7 are arranged on the outer side wall of the counterweight members 801. This design enables the counterweight assembly 8 to be flexibly connected and coordinated with the counterweight ring 6;
[0031] The pull rod assembly 802 includes a pull rod bottom cylinder 8021 fixed to the outer side wall of the counterweight member 801. An extension rod 8022 is sleeved in the pull rod bottom cylinder 8021. The pull rod bottom cylinder 8021 serves as the support and guiding structure for the extension rod 8022. A tension spring 8023 is arranged between the pull rod bottom cylinder 8021 and the extension rod 8022. The spring provides the necessary contraction force during the use of the extension rod 8022 to maintain the effective function of the pull rod assembly 802 and prevent the counterweight member 801 from easily detaching from the counterweight ring 6. A claw 8024 matching the connection groove 7 is arranged at the end of the extension rod 8022. This design ensures that the pull rod assembly 802 can be firmly locked in the connection groove 7 to form a stable connection.
