[0002] In the process of marine management and monitoring, it is often necessary to deploy observation buoys in the ocean to place observation equipment. Buoys generally float on the sea surface to facilitate real-time observation and control of the dynamic changes in the ocean. After the marine observation is completed, the observation buoys need to be recovered and reused to improve resource utilization, reduce costs, and prevent pollution of the marine environment. The existing recovery method is generally to manually retrieve the buoys floating on the sea surface and place them on a ship, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. When the marine environment is harsh, the buoys are also prone to swaying on the ship, and the buoys may even fall over and be damaged. Summary of the Invention

[0014] The present invention also provides a method for recovering marine observation buoys, including the recovery device for marine observation buoys as described above, comprising the following steps:
[0015] Step 1: Install the support base and fix it on the outer wall of the boat. Operate manually to move the boat to one side of the buoy, so that the buoy moves to one side of the first clamp.
[0016] Step 2: Drive the swing frame to rotate by the swing device, so that the side plate drives the elastic clamping part to move toward the first clamping plate, and clamp and fix the buoy by the elastic clamping part and the first clamping plate;
[0017] Step 3: During the movement of the boat, the water flow drives the second shaft to rotate through the fan blades, which in turn drives the first shaft to rotate. The first shaft then drives the first lead screw to rotate through the transmission components.
[0018] Step 4: When the first lead screw rotates, change the length of the first lead screw in the first threaded groove so that the first movable block drives the movable seat to move toward the first clamping plate;
[0019] Step 5: After the first clamping plate and the elastic clamping part clamp the buoy, the elastic clamping part moves toward the first clamping plate due to the action of the water flow. During the movement of the boat, the clamping force of the elastic clamping part and the first clamping plate on the buoy is increased.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0021] The support base is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the ship. The operator manually controls the ship to move to one side of the buoy, so that the buoy moves to one side of the first clamping plate. The swing frame is driven to rotate by the swing device, so that the side plate drives the elastic clamping part to move towards the first clamping plate. The elastic clamping part and the first clamping plate clamp and fix the buoy. During the ship's movement, the water flow drives the second rotating shaft to rotate through the fan blades, so that the second rotating shaft drives the first rotating shaft to rotate. The first rotating shaft drives the first lead screw to rotate through the transmission component, changing the length of the first lead screw in the first threaded groove, so that the first movable block drives the movable seat to move towards the first clamping plate. After the first clamping plate and the elastic clamping part clamp the buoy, the elastic clamping part moves towards the first clamping plate due to the action of the water flow. During the ship's movement, the force of the elastic clamping part and the first clamping plate clamping the buoy is increased, reducing the possibility of the buoy loosening. This makes it easier to fix and retrieve the buoy without having to retrieve it into the ship. The buoy can be directly fixed and installed on the outside of the ship, which improves convenience.
[0022] During the rotation of the second shaft, when the clamping force of the elastic clamping part and the first clamping plate on the buoy reaches the preset value, the first shaft remains stationary. During the rotation of the second shaft, the friction block rotates relative to the first shaft to prevent the second shaft from driving the first shaft to rotate continuously. The operator drives the movable ring to move so that the limiting post disengages from the corresponding limiting groove, and the connecting block moves in the groove. The first compression spring is in a compressed state. The operator drives the fixed plate to rotate, changing the length of the second lead screw in the second thread groove, thereby causing the second movable block to drive the friction block to move. This can adjust the friction between the friction block and the first shaft. After adjustment, the movable ring is released, and the first compression spring drives the connecting block to move so that one end of the movable ring drives the limiting post to insert into the corresponding limiting groove, limiting the position of the fixed plate and the second lead screw, reducing the possibility of the fixed plate and the second lead screw rotating due to non-human factors.
[0023] When the first rotating shaft rotates, it drives the second bevel gear and the first lead screw to rotate through the first bevel gear. The operator drives the first movable plate to move, the first insert plate and the baffle move synchronously, the second compression spring is in a compressed state, and the baffle no longer contacts the cover, thus releasing the restriction on the position of the cover. The cover is then manually driven to move so that the locking block disengages from the slot, thus completing the removal of the cover.
[0024] The third bevel gear is driven to rotate by the motor, and the third bevel gear drives the third rotating shaft to rotate through the fourth bevel gear, which causes the swing frame and side plate to rotate and swing. The design of the fixed column, fixed sleeve and third compression spring makes the second clamping plate elastically connected to the movable seat. The second clamping plate and the first clamping plate can elastically hold the buoy.
[0025] When the elastic clamping part and the first clamping plate clamp the buoy, the slot on the swing frame rotates to one side of the second insert plate. At this time, the fourth compression spring is in a compressed state. The fourth compression spring drives the second movable plate to move so that one end of the second insert plate is inserted into the slot. Through the cooperation of the second insert plate and the slot, the possibility of the swing frame wobbling relative to the mounting support is reduced. Attached Figure Description

The other end of the first shaft 11 is connected to the second shaft 13 by a friction adjustment assembly. One end of the second shaft 13 passes through the fixed protective shell 8. The second shaft 13 and the fixed protective shell 8 are connected by a bearing. The end of the second shaft 13 away from the first shaft 11 is provided with several fan blades 14. When the first clamping plate 4 and the elastic clamping part clamp the buoy, the elastic clamping part moves toward the first clamping plate 4 due to the action of water flow. During the movement of the boat, the force of the elastic clamping part and the first clamping plate 4 clamping the buoy is increased, reducing the possibility of the buoy loosening. This makes it easier to fix and retrieve the buoy without having to retrieve it into the boat. The buoy can be directly fixed and installed on the outside of the boat, which improves convenience.

[0042] During the rotation of the second rotating shaft 13, when the clamping force of the elastic clamping part and the first clamping plate 4 on the buoy reaches the preset value, the first rotating shaft 11 remains stationary. During the rotation of the second rotating shaft 13, the friction block 18 rotates relative to the first rotating shaft 11 to prevent the second rotating shaft 13 from driving the first rotating shaft 11 to rotate continuously. The operator drives the movable ring 25 to move so that the limiting post 26 disengages from the corresponding limiting groove 24, and the connecting block 30 moves within the groove 28. The first compression spring 29 is in a compressed state. The operator drives the fixed plate 23 to rotate, changing the length of the second lead screw 21 within the second thread groove 20, thereby causing the second movable block 19 to drive the friction block 18 to move. This can adjust the friction between the friction block 18 and the first rotating shaft 11. After adjustment, the movable block 19 is released. Ring 25, the first compression spring 29 drives the connecting block 30 to move, so that one end of the movable ring 25 drives the limiting post 26 to insert into the corresponding limiting groove 24, limiting the position of the fixed plate 23 and the second lead screw 21, reducing the possibility of the fixed plate 23 and the second lead screw 21 rotating due to non-human factors. When the first rotating shaft 11 rotates, the first rotating shaft 11 drives the second bevel gear 32 and the first lead screw 9 to rotate through the first bevel gear 31. The operator drives the first movable plate 37 to move, the first insert plate 38 and the baffle 34 move synchronously, the second compression spring 40 is in a compressed state, and the baffle 34 no longer contacts the cover 15, releasing the limitation on the position of the cover 15.

A fourth bevel gear 45 that meshes with the third bevel gear 44 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the third rotating shafts 42.
[0044] When the first rotating shaft 11 rotates, it drives the second bevel gear 32 and the first lead screw 9 to rotate via the first bevel gear 31. The operator drives the first movable plate 37 to move, and the first insert plate 38 and the baffle 34 move synchronously. The second compression spring 40 is in a compressed state, and the baffle 34 no longer contacts the cover 15, thus releasing the restriction on the position of the cover 15. The cover 15 is then manually driven to move so that the locking block 36 disengages from the slot 35, thereby completing the removal of the cover 15. The motor 43 drives the third bevel gear 44 to rotate, and the third bevel gear 44 drives the third rotating shaft 42 to rotate via the fourth bevel gear 45, which causes the swing frame 2 and the side plate 3 to rotate and swing.

The second support part 54 and the second movable plate 52 are connected by a fourth compression spring 55.
[0046] The design of the fixed column 46, the fixed sleeve 47 and the third compression spring 48 allows the second clamping plate 5 to be elastically connected to the movable seat 6. The second clamping plate 5 and the first clamping plate 4 can elastically hold the buoy. When the elastic clamping part and the first clamping plate 4 hold the buoy, the slot 51 on the swing frame 2 rotates to one side of the second insert plate 50. At this time, the fourth compression spring 55 is in a compressed state. The fourth compression spring 55 drives the second movable plate 52 to move so that one end of the second insert plate 50 is inserted into the slot 51. Through the cooperation of the second insert plate 50 and the slot 51, the possibility of the swing frame 2 wobbling relative to the mounting support 1 is reduced.
