Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of marine artificial intelligence, specifically to a new energy marine intelligent buoy system. Background Technology
[0002] Offshore buoys are a crucial component of unmanned marine mapping and urgently need to be upgraded to artificial intelligence beyond their traditional single-function (single-function refers to the current buoys only being able to carry sensors for detection) state. Besides intelligent processing of sensor data, monitoring the buoy's health status is particularly important, addressing common issues such as sensor loss and deformation. Due to limitations in remote on-site monitoring, communication bandwidth, computing power, and energy consumption, marine buoy sensors struggle to form automated safety monitoring and appearance detection edge computing systems. However, recent advancements in AI chips and low-power cameras have met the practical needs of large-scale distributed marine observation and detection equipment. Addressing the limitations of computing and storage resources in buoy intelligent terminals, this patent proposes a smart buoy based on edge computing and an environment-adaptive deep learning model. This model aims to dynamically adjust the model adaptively to environmental changes while ensuring appropriate performance, thereby reducing resource consumption, improving computational efficiency, and opening up new models and application areas for unmanned marine mapping.
[0003] The communication of offshore buoys mainly relies on Iridium satellite communication, which is costly. In the event of buoy damage or sensor malfunction, it is impossible to transmit real-time video detection data of the buoy back to the shore-based data center. Intelligent monitoring systems based on edge computing technology can effectively solve these problems.
[0004] However, the sensor equipment carried by the buoys is often damaged by fishermen of unknown nationality and other unidentified individuals. The existing intelligent buoy systems are unable to effectively identify, alarm, drive away, or collect evidence of such behavior, and they are also unable to identify damage to the sensors.
[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs a new energy marine intelligent buoy system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0032] 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.
[0033] Please see Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution:
[0034] A new energy marine intelligent buoy system includes a float 1 and a buoy column 2. The float 1 is anchored on the ocean surface, and the buoy column 2 is vertically fixed at the axis of the float 1. The buoy column 2 is equipped with an image acquisition module, a water surface sensor cluster, an edge computing module, a communication module, and a solar power supply module.
[0035] The float 1 is equipped with a buoyancy adjustment mechanism. The edge computing module outputs control to operate the buoyancy adjustment mechanism. The buoyancy adjustment mechanism adjusts the overall buoyancy of the float 1 to control whether the top surface of the float 1 is above or below the sea level.
[0036] Multiple push plates 3 are distributed around the circumference of the float 1. Each push plate 3 moves radially along the float 1 via a push mechanism. The output of the edge computing module controls the control end of the push mechanism to drive the multiple push plates 3 to expand outward when an external object approaches.
[0037] The bottom of the float 1 is provided with a sinker 43 that is suspended below the sea surface. When the float 1 floats with the sea surface, the distance between the sinker 43 and the float 1 fluctuates. The buoy column 2 is provided with a deflection mechanism for driving away seabirds. The deflection mechanism is connected to the sinker 43 and operates synchronously.
[0038] At work,
[0039] First, the image acquisition module is used to acquire real-time or timed images of the buoy surface sensor cluster and solar panel status. Using image data can reduce system power consumption.
[0040] The collected images of the buoy's surface sensors are then transmitted to the artificial intelligence edge computing module. After image preprocessing and other basic image processing procedures, the built-in deep learning missing detection algorithm identifies, evaluates, and calculates the sensor's appearance and determines whether the sensor is damaged, missing, or deformed.
[0041] Based on the decision information from the aforementioned edge computing module, if the surface sensor malfunctions, the intelligent computing module sends the type of the malfunctioning sensor and the malfunction status information to the communication module, forming a message and transmitting the buoy's sensor status back to the shore-based data center via the Iridium communication system. The data center then makes the next decision based on the actual situation.
[0042] When a non-maintenance vessel is detected approaching, the communication module broadcasts a collision avoidance signal. At the same time, when an external vessel or marine life that is not within the safety setting approaches to the minimum safe distance, the buoyancy adjustment mechanism and the push mechanism start working. First, the buoyancy adjustment mechanism changes the buoyancy of the float 1 as a whole, causing the top surface of the float 1 to sink below the sea surface. Thus, the float 1 has no landing platform, and external saboteurs or marine life cannot directly reach the top of the buoy column 2 to damage the key sensors, communicators, and other electronic control equipment installed thereon. In addition, the push mechanism pushes multiple push plates 3 outwards, thereby pushing away or increasing the buffer distance of the vessel or marine life that is pressed against the float 1, thus preventing them from directly approaching the float 1 for landing operations, thereby achieving a good security effect.
[0043] Furthermore, since the float 1 is anchored at the bottom, it floats up and down on the sea surface. However, there is a water level difference between the sinker block 43 at the bottom of the float 1 and the float 1, and the buoyancy is also different. When the float 1 rises and falls with the sea surface, there is a floating difference between the magnitude of the rise and fall of the sinker block 43 and the float 1. Therefore, the distance difference between the sinker block 43 and the bottom of the float 1 will fluctuate. The set-up repulsion mechanism moves synchronously with the sinker block 43. Therefore, the repulsion mechanism set on the buoy post 2 and the buoy post 2 fixed on the float 1 will move. Thus, in the case of swells on the sea surface, the repulsion mechanism can automatically move on the buoy post 2, thereby preventing seabirds from landing on the top of the buoy post 2 for a long time and effectively protecting the electrical equipment on the top of the buoy post 2.
[0044] The buoy column 2 is equipped with a column frame 20 on its top. A lightning rod 22 for lightning protection is vertically installed at the center of the column frame 20. The image acquisition module includes an image acquisition device 23 mounted on the side of the column frame 20. The solar power supply module includes multiple solar panels 21 laid on the column frame 20. The water surface sensor cluster includes a satellite positioning system 24, a communication system 25, a barometer 26, and an anemometer 27. The edge computing module is built into the buoy 1.
[0045] The buoyancy adjustment mechanism includes a buoyancy box 11 and multiple water pumps 13. A base cavity 10 is provided at the bottom of the float 1. The buoyancy box 11 is installed in the base cavity 10. A water pump 13 is installed on each side of the buoyancy box 11. The water pump 13 on the left side of the base cavity 10 has its pumping end connected to the outside seawater through a water outlet 14 on the bottom panel of the float 1. The water pump 13 on the left side of the base cavity 10 has its drain end connected to the top of the buoyancy box 11. The water pump 13 on the right side of the base cavity 10 has its pumping end connected to the bottom of the buoyancy box 11. The water pump 13 on the right side of the base cavity 10 has its drain end connected to the outside seawater through a water outlet 14 on the bottom panel of the float 1.
[0046] During operation, in the presence of external vessels, to prevent external personnel from landing on the top of the float 1 and damaging or interfering with the equipment on the buoy post 2, the float 1 needs to be completely submerged below the sea surface. At this time, the water pump 13 on the left side of the buoyancy tank 11 pumps water, filling the buoyancy tank 11 with seawater, thereby reducing the volume of the cavity inside the base cavity 10 and reducing the overall buoyancy of the float 1. The top surface of the float 1 will be completely submerged below the sea surface, making it impossible for external personnel to easily interfere or damage it. When marine life approaches the float 1 from below the water surface or tries to climb onto the platform of the float 1, the water in the buoyancy tank 11 can be discharged through the water pump 13, thereby raising the height of the bottom of the float 1 to prevent impact. At the same time, it raises the height difference between the top platform of the float 1 and the sea surface, preventing marine life from easily entering the platform surface of the float 1. Thus, the buoyancy adjustment mechanism set in this invention can automatically float up and down according to the detection signal of the graphic acquisition module or the water surface sensor cluster, which can prevent external personnel from landing and the impact interference of marine life.
[0047] The external pushing mechanism includes push rods 30 fixed on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the external pushing plate 3. The push rods 30 are slidably inserted into the base cavity 10. An active bevel gear 34 is rotatably installed at the top of the base cavity 10. Multiple follower bevel gears 33 are rotatably installed around the active bevel gear 34 in a circumferentially distributed meshing manner. Multiple external pushing screws 31 are rotatably installed in a circumferentially distributed manner on the inner wall of the base cavity 10. A screw block 32 is threaded onto the external pushing screw 31. The top end of the screw block 32 is slidably engaged with the inner top of the base cavity 10. On the surface, the push rods 30 are fixed on the left and right sides of the lead screw block 32. Each follower bevel tooth 33 is fixed at the inner end of the push screw 31 corresponding to the position of each push screw 31. A bevel tooth shaft tube 35 is fixed at the axial center of the active bevel tooth 34. An external push motor 37 is installed upside down inside the buoy column 2. The motor shaft of the external push motor 37 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 36. The top of the bevel tooth shaft tube 35 slides into the interior of the buoy column 2. The outer wall of the top of the bevel tooth shaft tube 35 is provided with a toothed ring for meshing with the drive gear 36.
[0048] During operation, the external push motor 37 drives the bevel gear shaft tube 35 to rotate via the drive gear 36. The bevel gear shaft tube 35 drives the active bevel gear 34 to rotate. The active bevel gear 34 drives multiple follower bevel gears 33 to rotate synchronously. The follower bevel gears 33 drive the external push screw 31 to rotate. Since the screw block 32 is limited to the inner top surface of the base cavity 10, the screw block 32 will slide along the axial direction of the external push screw 31. Thus, the screw block 32 drives the external push plate 3 to extend or retract outward via the push rod 30, completing the external push function of the external push plate 3.
[0049] The driving mechanism includes multiple flexible drive belts 4, which are circumferentially distributed and fixed to the outer wall of the connecting ring 40. The connecting ring 40 is integrally sleeved on the outer ring of the lightning rod 22. The bottom of the connecting ring 40 is provided with a driving lifting rod 41 for horizontally supporting the connecting ring 40. The bottom of the driving lifting rod 41 is fixedly connected to a floating through rod 42 for lifting the driving lifting rod 41. The floating through rod 42 passes vertically through the axis of the float 1 and the buoy column 2 and is fixed to the top of the falling block 43.
[0050] When the float 1 floats as a whole, the drop block 43 and the float 1 have a floating gap difference. Then, the drop block 43 drives multiple flexible drive belts 4 to move up and down above the column frame 20 through the floating rod 42 and the connecting ring 40, thereby achieving the effect of repelling birds.
[0051] The beveled shaft tube 35 has a vertical hole at its center for the floating rod 42 to pass through vertically, and the buoyancy box 11 has a box sealing tube 12 at its center for sealing the vertical passage of the floating rod 42. It is important to note that the airtightness of the buoyancy box 11 and the base cavity 10 is ensured without affecting the operation of the buoyancy mechanism and the driving mechanism.
[0052] The technical solution of this invention is to construct an automated monitoring system for the status of a buoy sensor based on an image acquisition module, a low-power edge computing module, a communication module, and an energy module. It integrates artificial intelligence deep learning technology, edge computing technology, and 5G (nearshore) technology. This solution features low power consumption, stable image capture, and advanced technology.
[0053] The buoy's main system relies primarily on a solar-powered self-generated system to support the normal operation of sensors such as the CTD. However, due to energy reserve limitations, it is difficult to support the addition of additional image acquisition equipment such as cameras. Traditional edge computing devices often consume significant power. With the development of artificial intelligence chip technology, this patent is based on a low-power domestically produced artificial intelligence edge computing device, which powers the monitoring system through its own solar power system. This enables real-time / timed video acquisition, real-time image content analysis and evaluation, and the transmission of abnormal statuses. Simultaneously, shore-based personnel can set the image acquisition frequency via Iridium satellite communication, further reducing system power consumption.
[0054] The deep learning algorithms used in this system are trained and simulated on a shore-based large-scale GPU deep learning server. The trained model is then downloaded to the buoy edge computing module. After the buoys are deployed in different waters, the edge computing module performs calculations and identification on hydrophone data and surface monitoring video data. The identified data is then periodically sent back to the shore-based data center via a satellite communication system to support relevant scientific research projects.
[0055] To effectively deploy deep learning models on resource-constrained terminal devices, terminal model compression is necessary to reduce computational and storage costs during the inference phase. First, during the training phase, the original model is used to train image recognition models with varying resource consumption based on different compression thresholds. These models are then uniformly deployed on edge servers. Depending on changes in the task and resource environments, the model type and segmentation points are adaptively selected to achieve adaptive joint inference between the terminal and the edge.
[0056] The data acquisition module can work continuously for more than 50 days in rainy weather. To reduce the high chip temperature of the edge computing module under continuous operation, this solution places the edge computing module in the underwater position of the buoy, which can effectively reduce the operating temperature of the core computing device and improve the system's working efficiency.
