Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydrological monitoring technology, specifically to a self-balancing floating remote hydrological monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of hydrological research, floating hydrological monitoring devices are set up in the river to facilitate staff's understanding of the water environment. The monitoring instruments in the monitoring devices are used to monitor the water environment of the river, so that staff can better manage the river.

[0003] Existing floating hydrological monitoring devices need to be used on water for extended periods, so they have good self-balancing properties. When in use, floating hydrological monitoring devices generally rely on solar energy to generate electricity. However, existing solar power generation equipment is not easy to adjust flexibly, and multiple solar devices are usually required for efficient energy storage. This method greatly increases the cost of using solar energy and needs to be improved. Therefore, a self-balancing floating remote hydrological monitoring device is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a self-balancing floating remote hydrological monitoring device, which has advantages such as easy and flexible adjustment of solar power generation equipment. It solves the problem that the solar power generation equipment in existing self-balancing floating remote hydrological monitoring devices is not easy to adjust flexibly, and usually requires the installation of multiple solar devices to achieve efficient energy storage, which greatly increases the cost of solar energy use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a self-balancing floating remote hydrological monitoring device, comprising a floating bucket, a support frame fixedly installed on the top of the floating bucket, an adjustment component provided on the support frame, a solar panel provided on the adjustment component, and a light sensor fixedly installed on the front of the solar panel;

[0006] The adjustment assembly includes a rotary motor, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame. A horizontal plate is fixedly mounted on the output end of the rotary motor. A dual-axis motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the horizontal plate. Baffles are fixedly mounted on the top of the horizontal plate and on both sides of the dual-axis motor. A screw is fixedly mounted on the output end of the dual-axis motor, and the end of the screw away from the dual-axis motor is rotatably connected to the side opposite the baffle. An adjustment plate is sleeved on the outside of the screw. A connecting rod is hinged to the front of the adjustment plate. A carrier plate is also hinged to the end of the connecting rod away from the adjustment plate. A support rod is hinged to the top of the horizontal plate and on the side opposite the baffle, and the end of the support rod away from the horizontal plate is hinged to the connecting rod.

[0007] Furthermore, a probe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the floating bucket, and a storage battery is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the support frame.

[0008] Furthermore, a cleaning assembly is provided on the right side of the carrier plate. The cleaning assembly includes a mounting plate, which is fixedly installed on the right side of the carrier plate. A cylinder located above the solar panel is fixedly installed on the left side of the mounting plate. A connecting plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder. A brush plate that fits against the top of the solar panel is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, an annular groove is provided on the top of the support frame and outside the rotating motor. Two T-shaped sliders are movably installed inside the annular groove. A vertical rod is fixedly installed on the top of the T-shaped slider, and the top of the vertical rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate. The annular groove and the T-shaped sliders are matched.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting groove is formed at the top of the horizontal plate and on the side opposite to the baffle. A limiting rod is fixedly installed inside the limiting groove, and the two adjusting plates are respectively sleeved with the outside of the two limiting rods.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjusting plate has a threaded through hole that matches the screw, and the screw and the baffle are rotatably connected by a bearing.

[0012] Furthermore, a protective cover is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame and outside the rotating motor. Clamping blocks that contact the rotating motor are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the protective cover. A rotating shaft with one end penetrating through and extending to the top of the protective cover is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotating motor. The rotating motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate through the rotating shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, a controller is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame and to the left of the battery, and the rotating motor, dual-axis motor, solar panel, light sensor and cylinder are all connected to the controller via signal.

[0014] Furthermore, the probe, rotating motor, dual-axis motor, solar panel, light sensor, and cylinder are all electrically connected to the battery.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This self-balancing floating remote hydrological monitoring device uses a light sensor to continuously track and follow the sun's position, identifying its orientation and transmitting the location information to the controller. This controller activates a dual-axis motor to rotate two screws, causing two adjusting plates to move simultaneously to the left or right. This, in turn, causes the connecting rod and support rod to move to the left or right, thus tilting the solar panel to the left or right for angle adjustment. Simultaneously, a rotating motor rotates the horizontal plate, causing the vertical rod to slide the T-shaped slider within an annular groove, further rotating the solar panel. This ensures the solar panel always follows the sun's direction, efficiently absorbing and storing solar energy, thus improving the solar panel's performance.

[0017] 2. This self-balancing floating remote hydrological monitoring device moves the connecting plate by starting the cylinder, so that the brush plate can be attached to the surface of the solar panel to clean it, thereby cleaning the dust covering the solar panel and further improving the performance of the solar panel.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figure 1The self-balancing floating remote hydrological monitoring device in this embodiment includes a floating bucket 1, a probe 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the floating bucket 1, a support frame 3 fixedly installed at the top of the floating bucket 1, a battery 4 fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the support frame 3, an adjustment component 5 provided on the support frame 3, a solar panel 6 provided on the adjustment component 5, and a light sensor 7 fixedly installed on the front of the solar panel 6.

[0024] Specifically, the device is supported on the water surface by setting up a floating bucket 1, and the purpose of monitoring hydrology is achieved by using a probe 2. Solar panels 6 convert light energy into electrical energy, which is then transferred to a storage battery 4 for storage, thereby generating electricity for the electrical equipment on the device. A light sensor 7 tracks the position of the sun, and the angle of the solar panels 6 is adjusted by an adjustment component 5 to always follow the position of the sun, thereby improving the effect of the solar panels 6 in absorbing sunlight, providing more power for the electrical equipment on the device, reducing the cost of power generation, and making it highly practical.

[0025] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the adjustment component 5 includes a rotary motor 51, which is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 3. A horizontal plate 52 is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotary motor 51. A dual-axis motor 53 is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate 52. Baffles 54 are fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate 52 and on both the left and right sides of the dual-axis motor 53. A screw 55 is fixedly installed at the output end of the dual-axis motor 53. The end of the screw 55 away from the dual-axis motor 53 is rotatably connected to the side opposite to the baffle 54. The screw 55 and the baffle 54 are rotatably connected by bearings. An adjustment plate 56 is sleeved on the outside of the screw 55. A threaded through hole matching the screw 55 is opened inside the adjustment plate 56. A connecting rod 57 is hinged to the front of the adjustment plate 56. A carrier plate 58 is hinged to the end of the connecting rod 57 away from the adjustment plate 56. A support rod 59 is hinged to the top of the horizontal plate 52 and on the side opposite to the baffle 54. The end of the support rod 59 away from the horizontal plate 52 is hinged to the connecting rod 57.

[0026] Specifically, by starting the dual-axis motor 53, the two screws 55 are driven to rotate, causing the adjusting plate 56 to move to the left or right simultaneously, which in turn drives the connecting rod 57 and the support rod 59 to support to the left or right. This causes the carrier plate 58 to tilt the solar panel 6 to the left or right for angle adjustment. Then, the rotating motor 51 is started to drive the horizontal plate 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the solar panel 6 to rotate. This ensures that the solar panel 6 always follows the direction of the sun to efficiently absorb sunlight and store energy. The system has a high degree of automation, strong flexibility and adjustability, and improves the performance of the device.

[0027] The support frame 3 has an annular groove 31 on its top and outside the rotating motor 51. Two T-shaped sliders 32 are movably installed inside the annular groove 31. A vertical rod 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the T-shaped slider 32, and the top of the vertical rod 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate 52. The annular groove 31 and the T-shaped sliders 32 are matched. A limit groove 521 is opened on the top of the horizontal plate 52 and on the opposite side of the baffle 54. A limit rod 522 is fixedly installed inside the limit groove 521. Two adjusting plates 56 are respectively sleeved with the outside of the two limit rods 522.

[0028] Specifically, when the rotating motor 51 drives the horizontal plate 52 to rotate, the vertical rod 33 drives the T-shaped slider 32 to slide inside the annular groove 31, thereby limiting the movement range of the horizontal plate 52 and improving the stability of the rotation of the horizontal plate 52. When the screw 55 drives the adjusting plate 56 to rotate and move, the limiting rod limits the movement range of the adjusting plate 56, thereby effectively preventing the adjusting plate 56 from rotating and improving the stability of the movement of the adjusting plate 56.

[0029] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, a cleaning component 8 is provided on the right side of the carrier plate 58. The cleaning component 8 includes a mounting plate 81, which is fixedly installed on the right side of the carrier plate 58. A cylinder 82 located above the solar panel 6 is fixedly installed on the left side of the mounting plate 81. A connecting plate 83 is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 82. A brush plate 84 that is in contact with the top of the solar panel 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 83.

[0030] Specifically, by starting the cylinder 82, the connecting plate 83 is moved, causing the brush plate 84 to adhere to the surface of the solar panel 6 and brush it to clean, thereby cleaning the dust covering the solar panel 6 and improving the performance of the solar panel 6.

[0031] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, a protective cover is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 3 and outside the rotating motor 51. Clamping blocks that contact the rotating motor 51 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the protective cover. A rotating shaft with one end penetrating through and extending to the top of the protective cover is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotating motor 51. The rotating motor 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate 52 through the rotating shaft. The rotating motor 51 can be protected by setting the protective cover and clamping blocks.

[0032] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, a controller is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 3 and on the left side of the battery 4. The rotating motor 51, the dual-axis motor 53, the solar panel 6, the light sensor 7 and the cylinder 82 are all connected to the controller. The probe head 2, the rotating motor 51, the dual-axis motor 53, the solar panel 6, the light sensor 7 and the cylinder 82 are all electrically connected to the battery 4.

[0033] It should be noted that all electrical components mentioned in this article are electrically connected to the controller and power supply. The control method of this invention is controlled by the controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0034] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0035] (1) The solar panel 6 converts the light energy of the sun into electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the battery 4, thereby providing power to the electrical equipment on the device. When the device is in use, the floating bucket 1 makes the device float and support it on the water surface, and the probe 2 monitors the water quality in real time and transmits the monitoring data to the terminal control device, thereby achieving the purpose of hydrological monitoring.

[0036] (2) The optical sensor 7 continuously tracks and follows the position of the sun and identifies the sun's orientation, transmitting the position information to the controller. This controls the start of the dual-axis motor 53, which drives the two screws 55 to rotate, causing the adjusting plate 56 to move to the left or right simultaneously outside the limit rod. This causes the connecting rod 57 and the support rod 59 to support to the left or right, thereby causing the carrier plate 58 to tilt the solar panel 6 to the left or right for angle adjustment. The rotating motor 51 is then started to drive the horizontal plate 52 to rotate, causing the vertical rod 33 to drive the T-shaped slider 32 to slide inside the annular groove 31, thereby causing the solar panel 6 to rotate. This ensures that the solar panel 6 always follows the direction of the sun to efficiently absorb sunlight and store energy, providing more power energy for the electrical equipment on the device.

[0037] (3) By starting the cylinder 82, the connecting plate 83 is moved so that the brush plate 84 is attached to the surface of the solar panel 6 for brushing and cleaning, thereby cleaning the dust covering the solar panel 6 and improving the performance of the solar panel 6.
