Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to marine detection devices. Background Technology
[0002] Ocean buoys are automatic marine hydrological, water quality, and meteorological observation stations mainly composed of observation buoys anchored at sea. They can collect marine hydrological, water quality, and meteorological data required for marine scientific research, offshore oil development, port construction, and national defense construction on a long-term and continuous basis, especially data on severe weather and sea conditions that are difficult for survey vessels to collect.
[0003] Traditional ocean buoys consist of a buoy body and a mast, with the mast vertically fixed to the buoy body. Traditional ocean buoys rely solely on solar power for electricity. However, in cloudy or rainy weather, solar power alone cannot provide sufficient power to the buoy, causing it to malfunction. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the limitation of a single energy source for ocean buoys and to provide a mast device for ocean detection buoy platforms.
[0005] The technical solution to achieve the above objective is: a marine detection buoy platform mast device, including a buoy body, a mast body connected to the upper end of the buoy body, a battery installed inside the buoy body, a support plate connected to the top of the mast body, a main power mechanism installed on the mast body, a bearing mechanism installed on the buoy body, a drive mechanism installed inside the bearing mechanism, and a secondary power mechanism installed inside the bearing mechanism.
[0006] Preferably, the main power mechanism includes a solar panel, a generator, a first rotating shaft, a first fan blade, a circular block, and a limiting tooth groove. The generator is connected to the bottom end of the support plate, and the solar panel is connected to the top end of the support plate. Both the generator and the solar panel are electrically connected to the battery. The output end of the generator is connected to the first rotating shaft, the first fan blade is connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft, and the circular block is connected to the bottom end of the first rotating shaft. A limiting tooth groove is formed at the bottom end of the circular block.
[0007] Preferably, the supporting mechanism includes a placement groove, an inlet hole, and an outlet pipe. The upper end of the buoy body is provided with a placement groove, an inlet hole is inserted into the inner wall of one side of the placement groove, and an outlet pipe is provided on the inner wall of the other side of the placement groove. A one-way valve is provided on the inner wall of the outlet pipe, and the flow direction of the one-way valve is from the inside of the placement groove to the outside of the buoy body.
[0008] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a fixed block, a guide rod, a spring, an inclined block, a support block, a through hole, and a connecting plate. The fixed block is connected to the inner wall of the placement groove. The guide rod is movably inserted into the outer wall of the fixed block. The inclined block is connected to the bottom end of the guide rod. The spring is connected to the bottom end of the fixed block. The bottom end of the spring is connected to the inclined block. The support block is connected to the inner wall of the placement groove. The support block is in contact with the inlet hole. The inclined block is slidably connected inside the support block. The through hole is opened on the outer wall of the support block. The through hole is aligned with the inlet hole. The connecting plate is connected to the top end of the inclined block.
[0009] Preferably, the auxiliary power mechanism includes a second rotating shaft, a second fan blade, a sliding hole, a sliding rod, and a limiting gear. The outer wall of the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the sliding rod, the bottom end of the placement groove is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft, the top end of the second rotating shaft is provided with a sliding hole, the outer wall of the second rotating shaft is connected to the second fan blade, the inner wall of the sliding hole is slidably connected to the sliding rod, and the top end of the sliding rod is connected to the limiting gear.

[0011] Preferably, an annular baffle is connected to the outer side of the upper end of the placement slot.
[0012] Preferably, the length of the slide bar is greater than the distance between the top of the second rotating shaft and the limiting tooth groove.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0014] 1. The main propulsion mechanism converts solar and wind energy into electrical energy required by the buoy body. When the waves are large, the impact of the waves will pass through the bearing mechanism, causing the drive mechanism to start running, thereby connecting the auxiliary power mechanism with the main propulsion mechanism, converting the impact of the waves into electrical energy, further increasing the ways in which the buoy body obtains energy. Furthermore, due to the drive mechanism, the auxiliary power mechanism will not affect the operation of the main propulsion mechanism when the impact of the waves is small.
[0015] 2. The solar panel absorbs sunlight to generate electricity, which is stored in the battery. The sea breeze blows the first fan blade, which drives the first shaft to rotate. The first shaft drives the generator to generate electricity, which is then stored in the battery.
[0016] 3. Waves impact the inclined surface of the inclined block through the inlet, causing the inclined block to move upward. The inclined block drives the guide rod to move upward, compressing the spring. The inclined block drives the connecting plate to move upward, which in turn drives the sliding rod to move upward. The sliding rod drives the limiting gear to mesh with the limiting tooth groove, allowing seawater to enter the placement tank and then exit through the outlet pipe. The seawater drives the second fan blade to rotate, which in turn drives the second shaft to rotate. The second shaft drives the sliding rod to rotate, which in turn drives the limiting gear to rotate. The limiting gear, by meshing with the limiting tooth groove, drives the circular block to rotate, which in turn drives the first shaft to rotate, thereby generating electricity and converting the kinetic energy of the seawater impact into electrical energy, achieving the effect of multiple energy acquisition methods.

[0027] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Reference Appendix Figure 1-8 A marine detection buoy platform mast device includes a buoy body 1, a mast body 2 connected to the upper end of the buoy body 1, a battery installed inside the buoy body 1, a support plate 3 connected to the top of the mast body 2, a main power mechanism 4 installed on the mast body 2, a load-bearing mechanism 5 installed on the buoy body 1, a drive mechanism 6 installed inside the load-bearing mechanism 5, and a secondary power mechanism 7 installed inside the load-bearing mechanism 5.
[0029] The main propulsion mechanism 4 converts solar and wind energy into electrical energy required by the buoy body 1. When the waves are large, the impact of the waves will pass through the bearing mechanism 5, causing the drive mechanism 6 to start running, thereby connecting the auxiliary power mechanism 7 with the main propulsion mechanism 4, so that the impact of the waves is converted into electrical energy, further increasing the way the buoy body 1 obtains energy. Furthermore, due to the drive mechanism 6, the auxiliary power mechanism 7 will not affect the operation of the main propulsion mechanism 4 when the impact of the waves is small.

[0031] The solar panel 401 absorbs sunlight to generate electricity and stores it in the battery. The sea breeze blows the first fan blade 404, which drives the first rotating shaft 403 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 403 drives the generator 402 to generate electricity and store it in the battery.
[0032] Reference Appendix Figure 1-6 The supporting mechanism 5 includes a placement groove 501, an inlet hole 502, and an outlet pipe 503. The upper end of the buoy body 1 is provided with a placement groove 501. An inlet hole 502 is inserted into the inner wall of one side of the placement groove 501. An outlet pipe 503 is provided on the inner wall of the other side of the placement groove 501. A one-way valve is provided on the inner wall of the outlet pipe 503. The flow direction of the one-way valve is from the inside of the placement groove 501 to the outside of the buoy body 1. The outlet pipe 503 is corrugated. An annular baffle is connected to the outer side of the upper end of the placement groove 501.
[0033] Seawater can enter the placement tank 501 through the inlet 502 and then be discharged into the sea through the outlet pipe 503. A one-way valve is used to prevent seawater from entering the placement tank 501 from the outlet pipe 503 in the reverse direction.
[0034] Reference Appendix Figure 1-7 The drive mechanism 6 includes a fixed block 601, a guide rod 602, a spring 603, an inclined block 604, a support block 605, a through hole 606, and a connecting plate 607. The fixed block 601 is connected to the inner wall of the placement groove 501. The guide rod 602 is movably inserted into the outer wall of the fixed block 601. The inclined block 604 is connected to the bottom end of the guide rod 602. The spring 603 is connected to the bottom end of the fixed block 601. The bottom end of the spring 603 is connected to the inclined block 604. The support block 605 is connected to the inner wall of the placement groove 501. The support block 605 is in contact with the inlet hole 502. The inclined block 604 is slidably connected inside the support block 605. The through hole 606 is opened on the outer wall of the support block 605. The through hole 606 is aligned with the inlet hole 502. The connecting plate 607 is connected to the top end of the inclined block 604.
[0035] Reference Appendix Figure 1-7 The auxiliary power mechanism 7 includes a second rotating shaft 701, a second fan blade 702, a sliding hole 703, a sliding rod 704, and a limiting gear 705. The outer wall of the connecting plate 607 is rotatably connected to the sliding rod 704. The bottom end of the placement groove 501 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 701. The top end of the second rotating shaft 701 is provided with a sliding hole 703. The outer wall of the second rotating shaft 701 is connected to the second fan blade 702. The inner wall of the sliding hole 703 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 704. The top end of the sliding rod 704 is connected to the limiting gear 705. The length of the sliding rod 704 is greater than the distance between the top end of the second rotating shaft 701 and the limiting gear groove 406.
[0036] The waves impact the inclined surface of the inclined block 604 through the inlet 502, causing the inclined block 604 to move upward. The inclined block 604 drives the guide rod 602 to move upward, compressing the spring 603. The inclined block 604 drives the connecting plate 607 to move upward, which in turn drives the slide rod 704 to move upward. The slide rod 704 drives the limiting gear 705 to mesh with the limiting tooth groove 406, allowing seawater to enter the placement tank 501 and then exit through the outlet pipe 503. The seawater drives the second fan blade 702 to rotate, which in turn drives the second rotating shaft 701 to rotate. The second rotating shaft 701 drives the slide rod 704 to rotate, and the slide rod 704... The moving limit gear 705 rotates, and the limit gear 705 drives the round block 405 to rotate by meshing with the limit tooth groove 406. The round block 405 drives the first rotating shaft 403 to rotate, thereby causing the generator 402 to generate electricity, converting the kinetic energy of the seawater impact into electrical energy, and realizing the effect of multiple energy acquisition methods. When the seawater impact decreases, the spring 603 will push the inclined block 604 downward, thereby driving the connecting plate 607 to move downward. The connecting plate 607 disengages the limit gear 705 from the limit tooth groove 406 through the slide rod 704, so as to prevent the auxiliary power mechanism 7 from obstructing the main power mechanism 4 at other times.
