Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aquaculture, in particular to a marine fishery environment monitoring device. Background Art

[0002] Marine ranching is a new type of marine fishery production method proposed to repair the marine ecological environment and conserve marine biological resources. It is mainly based on marine ecological principles and modern marine engineering technology, making full use of natural productivity, scientifically cultivating and managing fishery resources in specific sea areas, achieving value-added conservation of fishery resources, improving marine ecology, and realizing sustainable utilization of fishery resources. It is a fishery model that combines marine fishing and aquaculture.

[0003] The construction of existing ranches is still aimed at increasing the production of aquatic products with high economic value. The role of reducing pollution caused by traditional marine aquaculture and maintaining and improving the marine water ecological environment has not been taken seriously. Hydrological conditions such as ocean currents, transparency, temperature, and water depth; water quality conditions such as dissolved oxygen (DO), dissolved phosphate (SRP), dissolved silicate (SRS), total dissolved inorganic (DIN), suspended solids (SS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), chlorophyll a (Chl-a); sediment chemistry indicators such as sediment particle size, total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and heavy metals; and marine ranch environmental parameters such as the biomass and community structure of primary producers such as phytoplankton and zooplankton lack long-term monitoring, and the assessment of the environmental impact of marine ranches is limited to site selection.

[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for a marine ranch environmental monitoring device to achieve effective monitoring of the marine ranch environment. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art and to propose a marine ranch environment monitoring device. The marine ranch environment monitoring device facilitates the monitoring of marine ranch environmental parameters at different depths, adjusts the measurement depth, and facilitates the retraction and deployment of sensors to protect the sensors.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a marine ranch environment monitoring device, including sensors, the sensors are distributed on a flexible cylinder, one end of the flexible cylinder is retracted by a retracting device, the other end of the flexible cylinder is turned outward and connected to a floating body, the cylinder of the flexible cylinder that is turned outward on the outside is the outer cylinder, the cylinder located on the inside is the inner cylinder, and a sinker is arranged between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. The length of the flexible cylinder can be controlled by the retracting and releasing device, thereby controlling the position of the sensor, so that the sensor is located on the outside of the outer cylinder, thereby realizing the measurement of water environments at different depths, and when measurement is not required, the flexible cylinder is retracted by the retracting and releasing device, so that the sensor is located in the inner cylinder, so as to realize the protection of the sensor. When the lower end of the flexible cylinder is inserted into the seabed mud, the seawater in the inner cylinder is isolated from the seawater outside, so that the inner cylinder and the sensor on the inner cylinder can be used to realize the simultaneous detection and change comparison of the inner and outer seawater within a certain period of time, thereby facilitating the detection of the changes in the external seawater environment within a certain period of time.

[0007] In certain embodiments, a water pump is further included to control the amount of liquid between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, so that the gravity of the liquid is used to control the lowering of the flexible cylinder.

[0008] In some embodiments, the float is provided with a propeller to control the float to move to different sea areas, thereby achieving control of the water environment in different sea areas.

[0009] In some embodiments, the retractable device is a reel, and the retractable and retractable flexible cylinder is achieved by winding.

[0010] In some embodiments, the flexible cylinder is made of a transparent flexible film.

[0011] In some embodiments, the flexible cylinder is made of an elastic flexible film.

[0012] In certain embodiments, a sensor is disposed on the sinker, and the sensor is located between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, and the flexible cylinder achieves better protection for the sensor.

[0013] In some embodiments, the sinker is a metal ring, the metal ring is connected to a traction rope, and the traction rope is wound up by a drum, thereby achieving synchronous lifting and lowering with the flexible cylinder.

[0014] Compared with the existing technology, this marine ranch environment monitoring device has the following advantages:

[0015] The present invention is convenient for the retraction and extension of the sensor, and the sensor is protected. The length of the flexible cylinder can be controlled by the retraction and extension of the retracting device, thereby controlling the position of the sensor, so that the sensor is located outside the outer cylinder, thereby realizing the measurement of water environments at different depths. When measurement is not needed, the flexible cylinder is retracted by the retracting device, so that the sensor is located inside the inner cylinder, so as to realize the protection of the sensor. When the lower end of the flexible cylinder is inserted into the seabed mud, the seawater inside the inner cylinder is isolated from the seawater outside, so that the inner cylinder and the sensor on the inner cylinder can be used to realize the simultaneous detection and change comparison of the inner and outer seawater within a certain period of time, thereby facilitating the detection of the change of the external seawater environment within a certain period of time.

[0022] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the present invention are further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the following embodiments do not limit the invention involved in the claims. In addition, all combinations of the features described in the embodiments are not necessarily required for the solutions of the invention.

[0023] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that all directional references (e.g., above, below, upward, up, down, down, top, bottom, left, right, vertical, horizontal, etc.) are used descriptively in the drawings to aid the reader's understanding and do not represent limitations (e.g., to position, orientation, or use, etc.) on the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. In addition, the term "substantially" may refer to slight inaccuracies or slight deviations of conditions, amounts, values, or dimensions, etc., some of which are within manufacturing deviations or tolerances.

[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a marine ranch environment monitoring device includes a sensor 1, which can be set as needed, such as a sensor for measuring water temperature, salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH value, underwater biological information, etc. The sensor volume is as small as possible. The sensors are distributed on the flexible cylinder 2, and the material of the flexible cylinder is a flexible film or an elastic film, such as a plastic film or a rubber film. One end of the flexible cylinder is retracted by a retracting device to achieve retracting and release control. For example, the retracting and release device is a reel 3 controlled by animation, and the retracting and release of the flexible cylinder is achieved by retracting. The other end of the flexible cylinder is connected to the floating body 4 after being turned outward. The outer cylinder of the flexible cylinder is turned outward to form an outer cylinder 201, and the inner cylinder forms an inner cylinder 202. A sinker 5 is arranged between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. The downward gravity of the sinker is conducive to the descent of the inner cylinder. After the inner cylinder is turned outward, the outer cylinder is formed, so that the overall elongation of the cylinder is achieved.

[0026] The float is provided with a propeller 8, such as a propeller, which can be controlled by remote control, or a small boat driven by a person can be used instead of the propeller to control the float to move to different sea areas and realize the control of the water environment in different sea areas.

[0027] An internal sensor 9 is arranged on the sinker, such as some relatively fragile sensors, sensors that are not conducive to direct contact with seawater, such as temperature or optical sensors. The sensor is located between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, and the flexible cylinder achieves better protection for the sensor. When an optical sensor is used, the flexible cylinder adopts a transparent film material. The optical sensor is, for example, a camera, which can be used to observe underwater conditions.

[0028] The sinker is a metal ring, which is connected to a traction rope 10. The traction rope is wound by a drum, thereby achieving synchronous lifting and lowering with the flexible cylinder.

[0029] The length of the flexible cylinder can be controlled by the retraction and extension of the retraction device, thereby controlling the position of the sensor, so that the sensor is located outside the outer cylinder, thereby realizing the measurement of water environments at different depths. When measurement is not needed, the flexible cylinder is retracted by the retraction device, so that the sensor is located inside the inner cylinder, so as to protect the sensor and facilitate the convenient movement of the device to other sea areas for use. When the lower end of the flexible cylinder is inserted into the soft mud on the seabed, the seawater in the inner cylinder is isolated from the seawater outside, so that the inner cylinder and the sensor on the inner cylinder can be used to simultaneously detect and compare the inner and outer seawater within a certain period of time, thereby facilitating the detection of changes in the external seawater environment within a certain period of time.

[0030] The flexible cylinder is also provided with a water pump 6 for controlling the amount of liquid between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, thereby utilizing the gravity of the liquid to control the lowering of the flexible cylinder. The water pump can achieve communication between the cylinder and the external seawater through a water pipe 7, thereby controlling the amount of water between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. Since the liquid between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder can be moved upward by rolling up the inner cylinder, the water pipe extending from the water pump between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder does not need to be too long.

[0031] Although some terms are used more frequently in this article, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present invention; interpreting them as any additional restrictions is contrary to the spirit of the present invention. The execution order of actions, steps, etc. in the devices and methods shown in the specification and the drawings can be implemented in any order as long as there is no special explicit limitation on the order and the output of the previous processing is not used in the subsequent processing. The use of "first", "next", etc. for the convenience of description does not mean that it must be implemented in such an order.

[0032] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
