Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of meteorological monitoring platform technology, and in particular to a multifunctional marine meteorological monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] Multifunctional meteorological monitoring systems are an important component of modern meteorological operations and a crucial foundation for enhancing public meteorological service capabilities and improving the accuracy of weather forecasts. At sea, multifunctional meteorological monitoring systems often use floating platforms as bases to position and install different sensors, enabling the monitoring of multiple data points such as wind direction, temperature, humidity, and ocean current speed.
[0003] Existing marine floating platforms are fixed in nearshore locations using counterweight anchors, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance and use. However, nearshore marine life is diverse and abundant, especially attaching shellfish such as barnacles, which attach to the bottom of the platform and the cables. The adhesive substances secreted by these shellfish and their excrement are highly acidic, which can corrode the bottom of the platform and the cables, leading to frequent damage and increased maintenance costs. To address these issues, we propose a multifunctional marine meteorological monitoring device. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the underwater part of nearshore meteorological floating platforms is easily corroded and damaged by attached shellfish in the prior art, and to propose a multifunctional marine meteorological monitoring device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A multifunctional marine meteorological monitoring device includes a floating platform, a counterweight anchor, cables, and a power generation component. The cables are installed between the floating platform and the counterweight anchor. The power generation component is installed on the top of the counterweight anchor and includes a vertically sliding sleeve and a generator inside the sleeve. The cables are slidably connected to the sleeve. A toothed plate that moves synchronously with the sleeve is installed on the lower inner side of the sleeve. The generator is fixedly installed on the top of the counterweight anchor, and a transmission device is installed between the toothed plate and the generator.
[0007] When used as a platform for marine meteorological monitoring, various sensors can be installed on the floating platform, which floats on the sea surface. The counterweight anchor, together with the cable, limits the movement of the platform. The undulation of the platform will cause the sleeve to move up and down, which will drive the generator to generate electricity through the transmission device. The electrical energy will be transferred to the surface of the cable, keeping shellfish away and protecting the cable from corrosion at its source.
[0008] Preferably, a conductive net is installed at the top of the cable, and the conductive net is sleeved and installed on the outer side wall of the bottom end of the underwater part of the floating platform. A sliding seat is slidably installed on the lower part of the sleeve, and an energy storage device electrically connected to the cable and the generator is installed on the inner side of the sliding seat.
[0009] The cable can transmit current to the conductive net, the floating platform is protected in the underwater part, and the energy storage device can store the interference power generated by the generator.
[0010] Preferably, the slide block is fixedly connected to the counterweight anchor, a sealing sleeve that mates with the sleeve is embedded in the upper inner side of the slide block, vertical rods are installed at equal intervals on the inner edge of the slide block, and a blind hole that slidably engages with the vertical rods is opened at the lower part of the sleeve.
[0011] The sealing sleeve serves to provide sliding sealing and wear resistance, while the vertical rod guides the sleeve and shares the guiding role of the slide block on the sleeve, preventing leakage caused by uneven wear of the sealing sleeve.
[0012] Preferably, a bracket is installed at the top of the floating platform, a waterproof box is installed in the middle of the bracket, a conduit for sealing wires as they pass through the waterproof box is installed at the top of the bracket, and a mounting base is installed at the top of the conduit.
[0013] The waterproof box can be used to install meteorological monitoring equipment such as communication equipment and data storage devices. The conduit seals and wraps the data cable between the sensor and the supporting equipment to prevent impact and corrosion from sea wind and seawater.
[0014] Preferably, the top end of the sleeve is provided with an oblique opening, and a limit ring is rotatably installed in the opening. An inclined first sliding sleeve is installed through the right side of the limit ring, and the cable is installed through the first sliding sleeve.
[0015] The top of the sleeve is provided with a beveled opening, which prevents bending at the opening when the cable is connected to the floating platform in the ocean current, thus ensuring effective abrasion protection for the cable and the side wall of the sleeve.
[0016] Preferably, a middle ring for rotating and positioning the limiting ring is embedded in the middle of the limiting ring, a middle rod is installed at the bottom of the middle ring, an adapter for installing the bottom end of the cable is rotatably installed at the lower part of the middle rod, and a telescopic rod is installed at the bottom of the middle rod.
[0017] The middle ring can rotate and position the limit ring, and the telescopic rod can stabilize the lower end of the middle rod, ensuring the stability of the lower end of the cable and achieving stable vertical movement and horizontal rotation guidance of the cable.
[0018] Preferably, the cable is fitted with a second sliding sleeve that slides in contact with the inner wall of the first sliding sleeve, the inner and outer walls of the limiting ring are respectively provided with annular protrusions, and the upper side wall of the sleeve and the outer wall of the middle ring are respectively provided with annular grooves.
[0019] The second sliding sleeve prevents water leakage when the cable is pulled. The annular protrusion on the side wall of the limiting ring increases the contact area and improves the sealing effect at the sliding contact position, thus preventing water leakage.
[0020] Preferably, the transmission includes a stepped wheel that meshes with a toothed plate, and a drive wheel that meshes with a generator is rotatably mounted on the lower part of the transmission. A transmission gear set for speed increase and torque reduction is installed between the stepped wheel and the drive wheel.
[0021] The stepped wheel in the transmission increases the contact area between itself and the gear plate, ensuring structural stability during high-torque transmission. The transmission gear set accelerates and reduces torque, driving the drive wheel to rotate at high speed and improving the generator's power generation efficiency.
[0022] Preferably, the transmission gear set includes a co-rotating gear, a speed-boosting gear, and a shifting gear that mesh sequentially. The co-rotating gear is driven by a stepped gear through a short synchronous belt, and the shifting gear is driven by a drive wheel through a long synchronous belt.
[0023] Short synchronous belts provide more rotation space for pulleys moving in the same direction, while long synchronous belts can make full use of the vertical space of the sleeve to arrange more gears and increase the transmission ratio for speed increase and torque reduction.
[0024] Preferably, the diameter of the gear in the same direction wheel is larger than the diameter of the stepped wheel gear, the speed-up wheel includes two gears, one large and one small, fixedly connected, the diameter of the shift wheel gear is smaller than the diameter of the small gear in the speed-up wheel, and the diameter of the shift wheel gear is smaller than the diameter of the drive wheel gear.
[0025] Further optimization between the gear sets can further improve the speed-up transmission effect, enabling the generator to rotate and generate electricity more quickly under a small driving force.
[0026] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this multifunctional marine meteorological monitoring device are:
[0027] By setting up cables and wrapping conductive nets at the bottom of the floating platform, the conductive nets are fixedly connected to the cables, and the cables are also connected to the energy storage equipment. This allows the parts of the cables and the floating platform that are in the water to carry low-voltage current. When shellfish come into contact with the cables and conductive nets, the conductivity of seawater allows the current to pass through the shellfish to form a circuit. The resulting electric shock will keep the shellfish away, preventing them from attaching to the bottom of the floating platform and the cables, thus achieving a surface anti-corrosion effect.
[0028] The power generation components include a sleeve that moves up and down synchronously with the ocean current. The air flotation of the sleeve is driven by a floating platform. The sleeve contains a generator. The floating platform has a large self-weight and outputs a large driving force when it moves up and down in the ocean current, but the reciprocating distance is small. By setting up multiple sets of speed-increasing and torque-reducing transmission devices, the ocean current with a large driving force can be converted into the high-speed rotation of the generator to generate electricity efficiently and provide stable power for the energy storage equipment.
[0029] With the central rod in place, the lower end of the cable is rotatably mounted on the outside of the central rod. It can rotate adaptively with changes in ocean current direction, avoiding large-angle bending of the cable and ensuring smooth sliding between the cable and the sleeve. In addition, the limiting ring can rotate to seal the opening at the top of the sleeve. Together with the second sliding sleeve, it can ensure the movement seal between the cable and the sleeve, avoiding wear and preventing water leakage, and ensuring the safe operation of the internal components of the sleeve.

Detailed Implementation
[0039] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0040] Reference Figure 1-8 This invention provides three technical solutions: Example
[0041] A multifunctional marine meteorological monitoring device includes a floating platform 1, a counterweight anchor 4, a cable 2, and a power generation component. The cable 2 is installed between the floating platform 1 and the counterweight anchor 4. The power generation component is installed on the top of the counterweight anchor 4. The power generation component includes a sleeve 3 that can slide vertically and a generator 6 inside it. The cable 2 is slidably connected to the sleeve 3. A toothed plate 5 that moves synchronously with the sleeve 3 is installed on the lower inner side of the sleeve 3. The generator 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the counterweight anchor 4. A transmission device 51 is installed between the toothed plate 5 and the generator 6.
[0042] Specifically, a conductive net bag 21 is installed at the top of the cable 2. The conductive net bag 21 is sleeved and installed on the outer side of the bottom side wall of the underwater part of the floating platform 1. A sliding seat 31 is slidably installed on the lower part of the sleeve 3. An energy storage device 61 that is electrically connected to the cable 2 and the generator 6 is installed on the inner side of the sliding seat 31.
[0043] Furthermore, the slide block 31 is fixedly connected to the counterweight anchor 4. A sealing sleeve 311 that mates with the sleeve 3 is embedded in the upper inner side of the slide block 31. Vertical rods 312 arranged at equal intervals are installed at the inner edge of the slide block 31. A blind hole that slidably engages with the vertical rods 312 is opened at the lower part of the sleeve 3.
[0044] Furthermore, a bracket 11 is installed at the top of the floating platform 1, a waterproof box 14 is installed in the middle of the bracket 11, a conduit 12 for sealing the wires as they pass into the waterproof box 14 is installed at the top of the bracket 11, and a mounting base 13 is installed at the top of the conduit 12.
[0045] When used as a platform for marine meteorological monitoring, various sensors can be mounted on the floating platform 1, which floats on the sea surface. A counterweight anchor 4, along with cable 2, limits the movement of the floating platform 1. The platform 1 cyclically rises and falls with ocean currents, causing cable 2 to swing up and down, which in turn moves sleeve 3, allowing toothed plate 5 to reciprocate. This, in turn, drives the shaft of generator 6 to rotate via transmission 51, generating electricity by the coil cutting magnetic lines of force. The electrical energy is transferred to the surface of cable 2, which is made of exposed metal and generates a low-voltage current. When shellfish approach or come into contact with cable 2, the current passes through them, producing a non-lethal electric shock that keeps them away, thus protecting cable 2 from corrosion at its source. Cable 2 can also transfer current to conductive net 21, which completely encloses the underwater portion of the floating platform 1, again using electric shock to repel shellfish. Sliding seat 31 is fixed in place. The sleeve 3 slides up and down in the slide block 31. The energy storage device 61 can store the interference-generated electricity of the generator 6 so that it can be called upon when the power generation is insufficient. The sliding contact surface between the slide block 31 and the sleeve 3 has a sealing sleeve 311, which can play a role in sliding sealing and wear resistance, protecting the sliding part. The vertical rod 312 can guide the sleeve 3. Using the vertical rod 312 as the main force-bearing guide, the contact and squeezing force between the slide block 31 and the sleeve 3 is reduced, so that the sleeve 3 can move vertically and avoid water leakage caused by uneven wear of the sealing sleeve 311. The bracket 11 can fix the waterproof box 14. The waterproof box 14 can install communication equipment, data storage equipment and other meteorological monitoring supporting equipment, and can also carry solar power generation components for supplementary power generation. The conduit 12 and the mounting base 13 can serve as a sensor mounting platform, and can also seal and wrap the data cable between the sensor and the supporting equipment to prevent the impact and corrosion of sea wind and seawater. Example
[0046] A multifunctional marine meteorological monitoring device includes a floating platform 1, a counterweight anchor 4, a cable 2, and a power generation component. The cable 2 is installed between the floating platform 1 and the counterweight anchor 4. The power generation component is installed on the top of the counterweight anchor 4. The power generation component includes a sleeve 3 that can slide vertically and a generator 6 inside it. The cable 2 is slidably connected to the sleeve 3. A toothed plate 5 that moves synchronously with the sleeve 3 is installed on the lower inner side of the sleeve 3. The generator 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the counterweight anchor 4. A transmission device 51 is installed between the toothed plate 5 and the generator 6.
[0047] Specifically, the top of the sleeve 3 is provided with an oblique opening, and the sleeve 3 is rotatably installed in the opening. An inclined first sliding sleeve 321 is installed through the right side of the limiting ring 32, and the cable 2 is installed through the first sliding sleeve 321.
[0048] It is worth noting that a middle ring 33 is embedded in the middle of the limiting ring 32 to rotate and position the limiting ring 32. A middle rod 331 is installed at the bottom of the middle ring 33. An adapter seat 23 for installing the bottom of the cable 2 is rotatably installed at the lower part of the middle rod 331. A telescopic rod 332 is installed at the bottom of the middle rod 331.
[0049] It is worth noting that the outer side of the cable 2 is fitted with a second sliding sleeve 22 that slides in contact with the inner wall of the first sliding sleeve 321. The inner and outer walls of the limiting ring 32 are respectively provided with annular protrusions, and the upper side wall of the sleeve 3 and the outer wall of the middle ring 33 are respectively provided with annular grooves 34.
[0050] To adapt to varying ocean current directions, the top of the sleeve 3 is provided with a sloping opening. Combined with the inclined, flexible first sliding sleeve 321, this prevents bending at the opening of the sleeve 3 when the cable 2 connects to the floating platform 1 in the ocean current at an angle. The limiting ring 32 separates the cable 2 and the sleeve 3, ensuring effective abrasion protection for both the cable 2 and the sidewalls of the sleeve 3. The middle ring 33 can rotate and position the limiting ring 32, allowing the cable 2 to drive the limiting ring 32 to rotate around the middle ring 33 when the ocean current direction changes, thus ensuring horizontal rotation of the limiting ring 32. Furthermore, the telescopic rod 332 stabilizes the lower end of the middle rod 331, ensuring the stability of the lower end of the cable 2 and enabling stable vertical movement and horizontal rotation guidance of the cable 2. The second sliding sleeve 22 provides a sliding seal between the outer wall of the cable 2 and the inner wall of the first sliding sleeve 321, preventing water leakage when the cable 2 is pulled. The annular protrusion on the sidewall of the limiting ring 32 engages with the annular groove 34, increasing the contact area and improving the sealing effect at the sliding contact point, thus preventing water leakage. Example
[0051] A multifunctional marine meteorological monitoring device includes a floating platform 1, a counterweight anchor 4, a cable 2, and a power generation component. The cable 2 is installed between the floating platform 1 and the counterweight anchor 4. The power generation component is installed on the top of the counterweight anchor 4. The power generation component includes a sleeve 3 that can slide vertically and a generator 6 inside it. The cable 2 is slidably connected to the sleeve 3. A toothed plate 5 that moves synchronously with the sleeve 3 is installed on the lower inner side of the sleeve 3. The generator 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the counterweight anchor 4. A transmission device 51 is installed between the toothed plate 5 and the generator 6.
[0052] Specifically, the transmission device 51 includes a stepped wheel 52 that meshes with the toothed plate 5, and a drive wheel 56 that meshes with the generator 6 is rotatably mounted on the lower part of the transmission device 51. A transmission gear set for speed increase and torque reduction is installed between the stepped wheel 52 and the drive wheel 56.
[0053] Furthermore, the transmission gear set includes a co-rotating gear 53, a speed-boosting gear 54, and a shifting gear 55 that mesh sequentially. The co-rotating gear 53 is driven by the stepped gear 52 via a short synchronous belt 521, and the shifting gear 55 is driven by the drive gear 56 via a long synchronous belt 551.
[0054] Furthermore, the gear diameter of the same-direction wheel 53 is larger than that of the stepped wheel 52, the speed-up wheel 54 includes two fixedly connected gears of different sizes, the gear diameter of the shift wheel 55 is smaller than that of the small gear in the speed-up wheel 54, and the gear diameter of the shift wheel 55 is smaller than that of the drive wheel 56.
[0055] To fully utilize the small-scale undulating ocean currents for power generation, the stepped wheel 52 in the transmission 51 has two transmission gears, one in front and one behind, which increases the contact area with the toothed plate 5, thus ensuring structural stability during high-torque meshing. A transmission gear set between the drive wheel 56 and the stepped wheel 52 allows for speed increase and torque reduction, converting the small up-and-down movement of the toothed plate 5 into high-speed rotation of the drive wheel 56, improving the power generation efficiency of the generator 6. The short synchronous belt 521 positions the same-direction wheel 53 away from the stepped wheel 52, which can... The same-direction pulley 53 provides a larger rotation space, and the long synchronous belt 551 can perform long-distance meshing transmission in the narrow transmission 51. It makes full use of the vertical space of the sleeve 3 to arrange more gears, amplifies the transmission ratio for speed increase and torque reduction, and further optimizes the transmission ratios of the same-direction pulley 53 and the stepped pulley 52, the speed-up pulley 54 and the shift pulley 55, and the shift pulley 55 and the drive pulley 56. This can further improve the speed-up transmission effect, allowing the generator 6 to rotate and generate electricity more quickly under a small driving force.
[0056] In both embodiments, the generator 6 is a rotary generator based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, and the energy storage device 61 uses multiple sets of large-capacity batteries arranged side by side. The supporting control system, electromagnetic switch, and circuit can also be provided by the manufacturer. In addition, the power supply module, circuit, electronic components, and control module involved in this invention are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated. The content protected by this invention does not involve improvements to the internal structure and method.
[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
