DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0032] The present application provides an intelligent channel indicating light beacon, the main purpose of which is to design an intelligent channel indicating light beacon that can move automatically under remote control and can adjust the tightness of the steel cable according to the height of the water level, and provides the following technical solutions, which will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Figures 1-7 Detailed description:

[0033] The utility model provides an intelligent channel indicating light beacon, including the float base 1 of floating on the water surface and the tower 2 of fixed installation above the float base 1, fixed installation has the expansion board 3 around the float base 1 for increasing installation position, and the expansion board 3 is installed with the multiple propeller drive assemblies 4 of annular arrangement around the center of expansion board 3, and propeller drive assembly 4 is the drive source that provides for the self -moving of the device, and the tower 2 is installed with the winding mechanism 7, winding mechanism 7 is wound with the steel cable 5, the other end of steel cable 5 is fixedly connected with the anchor hook 6 of hooking the channel water bottom, the tower 2 is also installed with control box 8, and control box 8 is installed with 4G communication module 9, central controller 10 in, 4G communication module 9 realizes the control of central controller 10 to outside, because central controller 10 can control the operation of propeller drive assembly 4 and winding mechanism 7, to realize the function of remote control, and still include power supply system 11, it is used to provide the power of work to the above-mentioned electrical appliance, and in order to realize the adjustment of the tightness of steel cable 5 still is provided with trigger assembly 12, its installation is at the bottom of expansion board 3, mainly used for realizing the function of self -adjusting the tightness of steel cable 5, to guarantee that the device is always in the predetermined position.

[0034] Specifically, the working principle of the present application is as follows: Figure 1 The remote transmission signal is transmitted to the 4G communication module 9 (remote communication is prior art and will not be described here), and then reaches the central controller 10. The central controller 10 drives the propeller drive assembly 4 to operate, achieving movement on the water surface. When moving to the specified position, the signal transmitted remotely to the central controller 10 controls the winding mechanism 7 to implement the pay-off operation of the steel cable 5, and then the anchor hook 6 is driven by the gravity to penetrate into the bottom of the channel, achieving installation. When the water level drops (tide phenomenon), the steel cable 5 will become loose, and the float base 1 will deviate from the original position. The trigger mechanism installed at the bottom of the expansion board 3 generates a signal and transmits it to the central controller 10 to drive the propeller drive assembly 4 to work and move towards the original position, and at the same time, the winding mechanism 7 is driven to wind the steel cable 5, so that the float base 1 moves to the predetermined position and keeps a small amplitude movement as much as possible.

[0035] When the water level rises, the rope pulls the float base 1. As the water level gradually rises, the tension of the rope becomes greater, and the displacement of the float base 1 increases, providing a signal to the central controller 10, which drives the winding assembly to release the steel cable 5, thereby meeting the position requirement brought by the rising water level. In summary, the present application designs an intelligent channel indicating light beacon that can be remotely controlled and automatically moved.

[0036] As Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, in order to further describe the specific details of the propeller drive assembly 4, the expansion plate 3 is configured as a round cake and a plurality of device slots 301 are formed around the center axis, the device slots 301 are used to install the propeller drive assembly 4, and the number can be specifically related according to the actual situation, and the propeller drive assembly 4 includes a load plate 401 fixed on the wall of the device slot 301, a drive paddle 402 is installed on the load plate 401, and a first servo motor 403 for driving the drive paddle 402 to rotate is installed on the load plate 401 through the base. The first servo motor 403 is electrically connected with the central control controller 10, and the rotation of the first servo motor 403 is controlled by the central control controller 10, so that the rotation of the drive paddle 402 is driven, and the expansion plate 3 and the floating base 1 are pushed.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 5 , in order to describe the specific structure of the winding mechanism 7, the winding mechanism 7 includes two roller supports 701 symmetrically fixedly installed on the tower 2, and a winding roller 702 is bearing installed between the two roller supports 701. The steel cable 5 is wound on the winding roller 702, and a second servo motor 703 is fixedly installed on the tower 2. The second servo motor 703 can drive the rotation of the winding roller 702, thereby realizing the winding and unwinding of the steel cable 5. The output shaft of the second servo motor 703 is fixedly connected with the winding roller 702 through a shaft coupling and is electrically connected with the central control controller 10. The rotation of the second servo motor 703 is driven by the control of the central control controller 10.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , in order to describe the specific structure of the power supply system 11, the power supply system 11 includes a battery pack 1101 installed in the control box 8 and used to provide power to the electrical equipment. The tower 2 is configured as a cone and a plurality of photovoltaic racks 1102 are fixedly installed on the side surface of the tower 2. The photovoltaic rack 1102 is provided with a solar photovoltaic panel 1103. The solar photovoltaic panel 1103 is used to provide power supplement to the battery pack 1101. The solar photovoltaic panel 1103 is used to absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy stored in the battery pack 1101. In turn, the battery pack 1101 provides power supply to the electrical equipment. It should be noted that the solar photovoltaic panel 1103 charging the battery pack 1101 should also include a solar controller to complete it. This is prior art, and will not be described further here.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown in the figure, the specific structure of the trigger assembly 12 is described in detail. The trigger assembly 12 includes guide rods 1201 provided in a number corresponding to the number of device slots 301. One end of the guide rod 1201 is mounted on the expansion plate 3 through a connecting plate 1202 and the other end is fixed to each other. A trigger slot 1203 is provided in the middle of the guide rod 1201. The trigger slots 1203 of the multiple guide rods 1201 are interconnected, and the center position of the connection is used for the steel cable 5 to pass through. A sliding groove 1204 is provided on both side walls of the trigger slot 1203. A slide plate 1205 is slidably provided between the two sliding grooves 1204. It should be noted here that small sliders are fixed on both sides of the skateboard 1205, and the small sliders are adapted to the slide groove 1204, so that the skateboard 1205 can move along the slide groove 1204 with the assistance of the small sliders. At the same time, a pressure sensor 1206 electrically connected to the central control controller 10 is fixedly installed at the end wall of the trigger groove 1203, and a spring 1207 is connected between the pressure sensor 1206 and the skateboard 1205. It also includes a tension sensor 1208 installed at the bottom of the tower 2 and used to measure the tension of the steel cable 5 in real time. The tension sensor 1208 is electrically connected to the central control controller 10.

[0040] Here's how it works: See Figure 4 When the water level drops, the steel cable 5 becomes loose, and the floating base 1 moves to one side under the impact of wind or waves, and the steel cable 5 here will buckle into the Figure 4 The trigger slot 1203 of one of the guide rods 1201 in the middle is pressed against the slide plate 1205. Under the action of the slide slot 1204, the slide plate 1205 will squeeze the spring 1207 along the guide slot. The spring 1207 transmits the force to the pressure sensor 1206. At this time, the pressure sensor 1206 transmits the signal to the central control controller 10, which drives the first servo motor 403 on the opposite side to drive the rotation of the driving paddle 402, thereby pushing the expansion plate 3 and the floating base 1 back to their original positions. At this time, the tension detected by the tension sensor 1208 is much lower than the normal value, and the signal is then transmitted. The signal is transmitted to the central control controller 10, especially driving the second servo motor 703 to rotate, thereby reeling the steel cable 5, and stopping reeling when the normal tension value is reached. It should be noted that the second servo motor 703 is installed with a motor brake, which can ensure that the output shaft of the servo motor no longer rotates after power is cut off; and when the water level rises, the steel cable 5 will pull the floating base 1. As the water level rises, the tension of the steel cable 5 increases. When it is greater than the normal value, the signal is transmitted to the central control controller 10, which drives the second servo motor 703 to rotate in the opposite direction and then releases the steel cable 5 to meet the rising water level.

[0041] like Figure 5As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, a plurality of mounting plates 201 are welded on the tower 2, the roller support 701 and the second servo motor 703 are mounted on the lowest mounting plate 201, and it should be noted that the tension sensor 1208 is mounted at the bottom of the mounting plate 201, and the tension sensor 1208 here adopts a three-pulley tension sensor 1208.

[0042] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the guide cable assembly 13 is used to guide the steel cable 5 on the winding roller 702 to keep a state of being vertically arranged in the middle of the floating base 1, and the guide cable assembly 13 includes a threading hole 1301 passing through the lowest mounting plate 201, a first guide cylinder 1302 is tightly fitted in the threading hole 1301, the steel cable 5 passes through the first guide cylinder 1302 and extends outward, the floating base 1 is configured as a life buoy and has a second guide cylinder 1303 arranged inside, the second guide cylinder 1303 is used for the steel cable 5 to pass through and is fixedly installed at the inner ring of the floating base 1 by a support rod 1304, please refer to Figure 5 The steel cable 5 here is vertically arranged in the middle of the floating base 1 under the action of the first guide cylinder 1302 and the second guide cylinder 1303, so as to achieve the effect of cooperating with the trigger groove 1203, and the first guide cylinder 1302 and the second guide cylinder 1303 here each include an outer steel cylinder 1305 and a graphite cylinder 1306 tightly fitted in the steel cylinder 1305, the steel cable 5 passes through the graphite cylinder 1306, and the steel cylinder 1305 of the second guide cylinder 1303 is fixedly connected with the support rod 1304, the graphite cylinder 1306 can ensure good lubricity (when the steel cable 5 moves), and it is tightly fitted in the steel cylinder 1305, and can be knocked out for replacement after being used for a period of time.

[0043] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 , Figure 7 As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the top of the tower 2 is fixedly provided with a hexagonal prism 14, the six side walls of the hexagonal prism 14 are each configured with a mounting groove 15, and a warning light 16 is installed in the mounting groove 15, and the warning light 16 is electrically connected with the battery pack 1101. By arranging six direction warning lights 16, the passing ships can observe the light at various angles; it should be noted that based on the change of the prior art, the top of the hexagonal prism is also provided with a threaded hole, and the threaded hole here can be used to install other devices instead of the warning light, for example, in a relatively narrow water area, a projection lamp can be used to project a channel line on the water surface. The projection lamp is a prior art, which can draw a line similar to a road surface on the water surface by a light source, so that the ships can more clearly identify the position of the channel when sailing.
