Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of structure design, and relates to a buoy device, in particular to a buoy device with a self-generating function. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an indispensable underwater working device in marine equipment, the water unmanned platform (including a buoy, a glider, an AUV, etc.) manufacturing technology is highly intensive, can replace manual long-time operation underwater in deep sea water, can provide real-time video and sonar images, and has great potential in marine observation, exploration and underwater extreme environment operation, and especially plays an irreplaceable role in deep sea salvage and underwater scientific research sample sampling. At present, the buoy device gradually enters the public view and becomes a "new blue sea" in the deep sea competition field. In the face of complex and changeable marine environment, the buoy device can make timely and effective response to the simulation, intelligent control and underwater positioning technologies, and is expected to achieve a smooth underwater walk in the future.

[0003] As a new modern marine monitoring technology, the ocean buoy is gradually valued and utilized by various marine countries. Compared with other monitoring methods, the ocean buoy can automatically, continuously and long-term monitor the marine environment under harsh marine environmental conditions and within the service life of the buoy. As an important tool for offshore monitoring, it, together with survey ships, survey aircraft and marine observation stations, comprehensively monitors many elements of the marine environment, and is more intuitive, simple and economical. At present, most of the self-sufficient energy of the multifunctional buoy adopts a combination of solar energy and storage batteries. For small buoys, the installation position is limited, and wind energy and wave energy can be considered for supplement or as auxiliary supplement to solve the problem of insufficient self-sufficient energy of small buoys.

[0004] However, with the upgrading of technologies such as the Internet, artificial intelligence and intelligent manufacturing, the exploration range and precision of the buoy device are constantly breaking records, and it is gradually applied to commercial and civilian fields to make full use of the optimal performance of intelligence, networking and systematization in the new era of marine technological innovation. However, it is worth noting that high performance inevitably leads to high energy consumption, and how to continue to deeply solve the problem of related energy supply has attracted widespread attention. On the one hand, as mentioned above, the diversification of future buoy device tasks, especially the need for heavy load instruments and equipment for hydrological observation and scientific experiments, puts higher requirements on the power equipment of the buoy device. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application realizes the following technical solutions:

[0007] Considering that the number and weight of the batteries that can be carried by a certain buoy device are limited, and the marine working environment is too wide and complex, it is necessary to design a self-generating device in the buoy device itself to realize longer endurance. The buoy device with a self-generating function of the present application comprises a special shaft a, a plurality of disposable shafts b, an electromagnetic coil, a telescopic base, a battery pack, a signal transmission tower, an intelligent control system, an external protective cover, a replacement rack and the like.

[0009] The special shaft a is specifically: the main body is an anti-corrosion stainless steel structure, which is transversely penetrated through the buoy, and paddle structures are designed at the left and right ends; a transmission thread is designed in the middle part for transmitting rotary force to the disposable shaft b; the left and right middle parts are designed of magnetic material;

[0010] Further, two electromagnetic coils are fixed in the middle part of the buoy, and the two electromagnetic coils are respectively nested with the magnetic material regions of the left and right ends of the special shaft a, so as to generate current for the battery pack; the magnetic material is a magnet material;

[0011] The electromagnetic coil is connected with the battery pack and the control system, and the electromagnetic coil can be reversely outputted by the battery pack, so that the special shaft a is reversely rotated, and then drives the disposable shaft b to reversely rotate and retreat, and the fixed state is released.

[0012] Further, the electromagnetic coil is composed of two semicircular rings and a roller, the semicircular rings can generate different magnetic forces of different magnetic properties by being powered by the battery pack; the roller connects the electromagnetic coil with the base of the external protective cover, and drives the electromagnetic coil to present different deflection angles.

[0013] Further, the specific structure of the disposable rotating shaft b is that the main body is a plastic pipe, the top end is designed with a sharp thread for inserting or drilling into the front coral reef, the middle part is designed with a transmission thread for receiving the transmission force of the special rotating shaft a, and the bottom is provided with a ferromagnetic material; the outer protective cover is also provided with a telescopic base; the disposable rotating shaft b is connected with the telescopic base through the bottom in a magnetic adsorption form for self-rotation.

[0014] Further, the telescopic base is connected with the storage battery through a resistance wire, the control system adjusts the power supply of the storage battery to generate heat, so that the magnetic attenuation is released, and the magnetic adsorption is released.

[0015] The telescopic base is designed as a threaded telescopic structure, and the elongation direction of the thread is consistent with the forward direction of the top end of the disposable rotating shaft b.

[0016] Further, the control system is embedded with an RFID chip, which is in a dormant state in daily life, and receives suitable power generation and charging position information after being activated; after the control system receives the suitable power generation and charging position information, the special rotating shaft a is deflected by adjusting the magnetic property and deflection angle of the electromagnetic coil, so that the direction of the buoy is changed; the signal transmission tower is arranged in the coral reef area suitable for fixing and charging, and is used for activating the RFID chip in the control system.

[0019] In the application, the rotation of the special rotating shaft a initially drives the disposable rotating shaft b to rotate forward, or to be inserted or drilled into the coral reef in front of the buoy to realize the fixation of the whole buoy device; after the position of the buoy device is fixed, with the paddle structure at the left and right ends of the special rotating shaft a rotating under the driving of the water flow, the special rotating shaft a is matched with the electromagnetic coil to self-generate electricity and transmit to the battery pack. Full consideration is given to the complexity of the sea situation, and the most notable condition is that the disposable rotating shaft b cannot be withdrawn from the coral reef, at this time, the telescopic base will forcibly release the magnetic connection between the buoy main body and the disposable rotating shaft b with the help of the battery current heating, so that the buoy can be released.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0030] The invention can operate and switch between various working modes, such as fixed mode, de-fixed mode, and communication mode.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 A self-generating buoy device comprises a specially designed rotating shaft a1, several disposable rotating shafts b2, an electromagnetic coil 3, a telescopic base 4, a battery pack 5, a signal transmission tower 7, an intelligent control system 6, an external protective cover 8, and a replacement frame 9. The specially designed rotating shaft a1 and the disposable rotating shafts b2 cooperate to achieve autonomous charging of the battery pack 5. The main body of the specially designed rotating shaft a1 is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, extending horizontally through the buoy, with blade structures designed at both ends; a transmission thread is designed in the middle to transmit rotational force to the disposable rotating shafts b2; the left and right middle sections are made of magnetic material.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 Regarding the communication mode, the intelligent control system 6, which has an embedded RFID chip, is normally in a dormant state. When activated, it receives appropriate power generation and charging location information. The signal transmission tower 7 is located in a suitable shallow coral reef area for both fixing and charging, and is used to activate the RFID chip in the intelligent control system 6.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 , 3 The electromagnetic coil 3 is located in the middle of the buoy device, nested with the left and right ends (magnetic areas) of the specially designed rotating shaft a1, generating current to supply the battery pack 5. The electromagnetic coil 3 consists of two semicircular rings and a roller. The semicircular rings are powered by the battery pack 5 and can generate magnetic forces of different magnitudes and strengths. The intelligent control system 6 fine-tunes the angle of the specially designed rotating shaft a1 by changing the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force of the semicircular rings; and makes larger adjustments to the angle of the specially designed rotating shaft a1 by adjusting the front and rear positions of the electromagnetic coil 3 via the roller. Therefore, as the angle of the specially designed rotating shaft a1 is adjusted, the buoy device changes its direction of travel.

[0034] Reference Figure 4Once the fixed position is determined, the disposable shaft b2, whose main body is made of plastic tubing, has a pointed thread at the top for insertion or drilling into the shallow coral reef ahead; a transmission thread in the middle for receiving the force transmitted by the special shaft a1; and a ferromagnetic material at the bottom for magnetic connection with the telescopic base 4. The telescopic base 4 shown in the figure is designed with a threaded extension / retraction structure, with the thread extension (loosening) direction aligned with the forward direction of the disposable shaft b2's top. Thus, driven by the special shaft a1, the disposable shaft b2 generates forward momentum, advancing a distance equal to the length of the middle thread. Subsequently, the special shaft a1 enters an idle, power-generating state.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 After the charging process is completed, the specially designed rotating shaft a1, powered by the battery, generates a backward force, causing the disposable rotating shaft b2 to release from its fixed state. If a jamming occurs at this point, the intelligent control system 6 will supply power to the telescopic base 4 via the battery pack 5 to heat it. As the temperature rises, the magnetism weakens, and the connection between the bottom ferromagnetic material and the telescopic base 4 is forcibly released, causing the buoy body to release from its fixed state and begin to float freely.

[0036] Reference Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the replacement of disposable shaft b2. After the aforementioned forced release from fixation, when the fixation mode needs to be re-established, the replacement frame 9, located in the upper middle part of the buoy device, guides a new disposable shaft b2 from top to bottom to re-engage with the special shaft a1. The replacement frame 9 consists of an electromagnetic vertical plate and two guide plates. The electromagnetic vertical plate generates magnetic force to fix and connect to n disposable shafts b2 respectively. When the buoy's navigation is relatively stable, the control system controls the electromagnetic vertical plate to eliminate the magnetic force between it and the lowest disposable shaft b2, while the remaining disposable shafts b2 remain fixed under the action of magnetic force. During the descent of the disposable shaft b2, it is supported by the two guide plates, allowing it to cross-shaped and rest on the special shaft a1. The telescopic base 4 generates magnetic force to ensure it does not tilt or fall; simultaneously, the special shaft a1 will begin to rotate slightly, ultimately forming a stable threaded engagement.

[0037] The key to this invention lies in its efficient use of the confined space inside the buoy. While featuring a compact and ingenious design, it also incorporates considerations for potential jamming or other problems, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire charging process to the greatest extent possible. Finally, from an application intelligence perspective, compared to conventional self-generating devices, this invention is more intelligent and convenient, has clearly defined operating parameters, and a higher safety factor, making it suitable for widespread application in marine environments.
