Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ocean monitoring, and particularly relates to a multi-functional ocean observation platform device. Background Art

[0002] The description of this part only provides background information related to the disclosure of the present application, and does not constitute prior art.

[0003] In the past more than 10 years, with the rapid development of ocean automated observation technologies and equipment, these new types of automated mobile observation platforms are gradually realizing real-time observation of the dynamic change processes of the biogeochemistry and ecosystem in the three-dimensional ocean, providing key support for carrying out ocean ecosystem simulation and prediction. Although China's current ocean observation network has a certain scale, there are restrictions such as regional fragmentation, information simplification, low spatio-temporal resolution, and data transmission delay, and it has not yet formed the ability to synchronously obtain the real-time, three-dimensional, high-resolution, and multi-element overall ocean environment information of the global and core sea areas. Based on this problem, how to integrate and develop modern ocean observation and detection technologies, facing the global ocean and specific sea areas, with a mobile platform as the core, relying on artificial intelligence and big data technologies, and obtaining multi-layer, full-depth, high spatio-temporal resolution ocean comprehensive environment and target information in real time or near real time is the top priority.

[0004] The prior art provides certain solutions. For example, in patent US11383807B2, this patent provides an underwater observation unit, which includes a housing and a light source. The light source emits light to an imaging device attached to the housing, and forms imaging data through a camera and sends it to a processing station. This invention can effectively collect the hydrological conditions in this area, but because it is designed as a buoy-like structure and does not have the ability to move, the inventor believes that there is still great room for improvement here.

[0005] It should be noted that the above introduction of the technical background is only for the convenience of clearly and completely explaining the technical solution of the present application and facilitating the understanding of those skilled in the art. It cannot be considered that the above technical solutions are well-known to those skilled in the art just because these solutions are described in the background art part of the present application. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the problem that most of the current marine observation devices on the market do not have the ability to move, and at the same time to achieve the purpose of accurately obtaining the process of ocean dynamic changes and realizing the overallization of observation data in a region. The present invention provides a multi-functional marine observation platform device, which includes: an observation component, the bottom of the observation component is fixedly connected with a propulsion component, the bottom of the propulsion component is fixedly connected with a stabilization component, and the observation component is composed of a measuring instrument and a driving motor. The measuring instrument is located above the water surface, and its main functions include the technical effects of instruments and equipment such as a rangefinder and a flowmeter. At the same time, the camera device provided on the surface of the first pipeline can also assist the measuring instrument to work, ensuring the real-time and reliability of the measurement data.

[0007] In the present invention, the propulsion component includes a sleeve, the center of the sleeve is provided with an opening and is fixedly connected with the base of the driving motor, and both sides of the sleeve are fixedly connected with a first pipeline, and a plurality of camera devices are fixedly connected to the side of the first pipeline.

[0008] Furthermore, the sleeve and the driving motor are riveted. Adopting this connection method can ensure the firm connection. When working in the ocean, the driving motor can rotate relative to the sleeve to offset the water flow impact force from the horizontal direction, enhancing the firmness of the connection. In addition, the outer shell of the camera device is made of waterproof material and is always located above the sea level, while the first pipeline is located below the sea level.

[0009] In the present invention, the first pipeline includes: a filter screen, a fan is provided on one side of the filter screen, the center of the fan is fixedly connected with a fan rotating shaft, a protective shell is sleeved outside the fan rotating shaft, a notch is provided on the side surface of the protective shell, a push rod is provided on the wall surface of the notch, one end of the push rod is fixedly connected with an annular baffle, and a buckle is fixedly connected to the inner wall surface of the first pipeline, and the baffle and the buckle are used in cooperation.

[0010] Furthermore, the filter screen provided outside the fan can be used to block sundries in seawater, etc. The imaging device captures images and transmits the data to the measuring instrument for analysis, which then controls the driving motor. The driving motor is the power source for the fan and the push rod. The push rod is an industrial electric push rod, and its specific structure can refer to CN210898790U. In addition, the driving motor directly controls the power supply of the push rod, and the fan is also controlled by the driving motor. When the fan starts, the push rod contracts, causing a gap to form between the baffle and the buckle. Under the action of the rotational centrifugal force of the fan, the water flows towards the fan, promoting the convergence of the internal seawater and the external ocean current, reducing the pressure difference inside and outside the device, enabling the fan to continuously form an external water flow when rotating, and further accelerating the moving speed of the device. When the external sea waves are large, the imaging device captures images and transmits the data to the measuring instrument for analysis, which then controls the driving motor. Since the seawater with greater pressure fills the pipeline, it is not conducive to the operation of the fan. The fan stops rotating, and the push rod retracts, making the baffle and the buckle fit tightly. Since the first pipeline is already filled with seawater and the baffle blocks the interaction between the internal and external water bodies, the external water body cannot smoothly enter the first pipeline, and the inside of the device is filled with seawater, which is more conducive to the device docking in the current sea area, avoiding the device deviating from the original observation area due to bad weather or strong winds and big waves.

[0011] In the present invention, the stabilizing assembly includes a counterweight bottom plate. The surface of the counterweight bottom plate is provided with ventilation holes, and a plurality of connecting holes are arranged in an array on the side of the ventilation holes. The bottom of the sleeve is provided with a connecting base that cooperates with the connecting holes.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of bolts that cooperate with the connecting holes are fixedly provided at the bottom of the sleeve. At the same time, a through hole is provided at the bottom of the sleeve and is connected to the inside of the first pipeline, enabling the external seawater to flow into the inside of the first pipeline to balance the internal and external pressures and ensure the normal operation of the fan.

[0013] In the present invention, grooves are provided on both sides of the counterweight bottom plate. A connecting seat is fixedly provided in the groove. The connecting seat is rotatably connected to a first rod body. One end of the first rod body is fixedly connected to a floating plate. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to one side of the floating plate. An airbag is provided at the bottom of the floating plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the floating plate is in a fin-like shape, which can reduce the radial resistance of seawater when the device moves forward. When the fan operates, the floating plate swings upward. During the upward swing of the floating plate, the bottom airbag expands and the force-bearing area becomes larger, reducing the buoyancy support, ensuring that the fan is always located below the sea surface during operation. At the same time, the upward swing of the floating plate clamps the first pipeline in the middle, forming a baffle structure that can effectively reduce the horizontal water flow impact force, reduce the deviation of the device in the horizontal direction, and ensure that the backward water flow caused by the rotation of the fan will not immediately spread to both sides, improving the forward speed of the device in seawater.

[0015] Furthermore, when the external sea waves are large, the floating board swings downward, the airbag is compressed, providing greater buoyancy support, causing the first pipe section to be exposed above the sea surface. Since the bottom area covered by the counterweight at the bottom of the device and the floating board decreases, the overall center of gravity of the device shifts downward, thereby reducing the heaving amplitude of the device in the sea water and preventing the device from capsizing due to the sea waves.

[0016] In the present invention, an arc-shaped groove is provided at the bottom of the counterweight bottom plate, a counterweight is fixedly connected at the groove, and rotating shafts are installed on both sides of the groove. A rod sleeve is sleeved on the first rod body, a rod body is provided on one side of the rod sleeve and fixedly connected to the floating board, the inner wall surface of the rod sleeve abuts against the rotating base body, one end of the first rotating base body is fixedly connected to an annular second rotating base body, and the middle of the second rotating base body is sleeved with the first rod body.

[0017] In the present invention, the first rod body rotates relative to the rod sleeve through the first and second rotating base bodies during the swinging process, thereby controlling the swinging amplitude of the floating board and driving the floating board to swing up and down. During the swinging process of the floating board, it can clean the sundries attached to the periphery and drive away fish, etc.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: The baffle inside the first pipe controls the water flow in the pipe, cooperating with the fan to improve the overall energy utilization efficiency of the device and at the same time improve the traveling efficiency of the device in the sea water. The floating board swings up and down to clean the surrounding sundries and drive away aquatic organisms such as fish. In addition, the upward swing of the floating board cooperates with the fan to reduce the offset of the device in the horizontal direction, and at the same time can ensure that the backward water flow caused by the rotation of the fan will not immediately spread to both sides, improving the forward speed of the device in the sea water; when the floating board swings downward and the fan stops working, the bottom area covered by the counterweight at the bottom of the device and the floating board decreases, causing the overall center of gravity of the device to shift downward, thereby reducing the heaving amplitude of the device in the sea water and preventing the device from capsizing due to the sea waves.

[0027] Implementation cases:

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Refer to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a multifunctional ocean observation platform device, which includes: an observation assembly 10, a propulsion assembly 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the observation assembly 10, a stabilization assembly 30 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the propulsion assembly 20, and the observation assembly 10 is composed of a measuring instrument 11 and a driving motor 12. The measuring instrument 11 is located above the water surface, and its main functions include the technical effects of instruments and equipment such as rangefinders and flow meters. At the same time, the camera device 22 provided on the surface of the first pipeline 21 can also assist the measuring instrument 11 to work, ensuring the real-time and reliability of the measurement data.

[0030] Refer to the attached Figure 2 As shown, in the present invention, the propulsion assembly 20 includes a sleeve 23, the center of the sleeve 23 is opened with a hole and is fixedly connected to the base of the driving motor 12, two sides of the sleeve 23 are fixedly connected with a first pipeline 21, and a plurality of camera devices 22 are fixedly connected to the side surface of the first pipeline 21.

[0031] Furthermore, the sleeve 23 and the driving motor 12 are riveted. Adopting this connection method can ensure the firm connection. When working in the ocean, the driving motor 12 can rotate relative to the sleeve 23 to offset the water flow impact force from the horizontal direction and enhance the firmness of the connection. In addition, the outer shell of the camera device 22 is made of waterproof material and is always located above the sea level, and the first pipeline 21 is located below the sea level.

[0032] Refer to the attached Figure 4, as shown in Fig. 5, in the present invention, the first pipeline 21 includes: a filter screen 25, a fan 24 is provided on one side of the filter screen 25, a fan shaft 241 is fixedly connected to the center of the fan 24, a protective housing 242 is sleeved outside the fan shaft 241, a notch is formed on the side surface of the protective housing 242, a push rod 212 is provided on the notch wall surface, one end of the push rod 212 is fixedly connected with an annular baffle 211, and a buckle 213 is fixedly connected to the inner wall surface of the first pipeline 21, and the baffle 211 is used in cooperation with the buckle 213.

[0033] Refer to the appendix Figure 4 , 5, 6, as shown further, the filter screen 25 provided outside the fan 24 can be used to block sundries in seawater, etc. The imaging device 22 captures images and hands them over to the measuring instrument 11 for data analysis and then controls the driving motor 12. The driving motor 12 is the power source for the fan 24 and the push rod 212. The push rod 212 is an industrial electric push rod, and its specific structure can refer to CN210898790U. In addition, the driving motor 12 directly controls the power supply of the push rod 212, and the fan 24 is also controlled by the driving motor 12. When the fan 24 starts, the push rod 212 contracts, prompting a gap to form between the baffle 211 and the buckle 213. Under the action of the rotational centrifugal force of the rotating fan 24, the water flows towards the fan direction, promoting the convergence of the internal seawater and the external ocean current, reducing the pressure difference inside and outside the device, enabling the fan 24 to continuously form an external water flow during rotation, and further accelerating the moving speed of the device. When the external sea waves are large, the imaging device 22 captures images and hands them over to the measuring instrument 11 for data analysis and then controls the driving motor 12. Since the seawater with greater pressure fills the pipeline, it is not conducive to the operation of the fan 24, and the fan 24 stops rotating. The push rod 212 retracts, causing the baffle 211 and the buckle 213 to fit tightly. Since the first pipeline 21 is already filled with seawater inside, and the baffle 211 blocks the interaction between the internal and external water bodies, the external water body cannot smoothly enter the first pipeline 21, and the inside of the device is filled with seawater, which is more conducive to the device docking in the current sea area, avoiding the device deviating from the original observation area due to bad weather or strong winds and big waves.

[0034] Embodiment 2:

[0035] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that refer to the appendix Figure 3 , as shown, in the present invention, the stabilizing assembly 30 includes a counterweight bottom plate 31, ventilation holes 312 are formed on the surface of the counterweight bottom plate 31, a plurality of connecting holes 311 are arranged in an array on the side of the ventilation holes 312, and a connecting base body for cooperating with the connecting holes 311 is provided at the bottom of the sleeve 23.

[0036] Further, a plurality of bolts for cooperating with the connecting holes 311 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the sleeve 23. At the same time, a through hole is provided at the bottom of the sleeve 23 and is connected to the inside of the first pipeline 21, so that the external seawater can flow into the inside of the first pipeline 21 to balance the internal and external pressures and ensure the normal operation of the fan 24.

[0037] In the present invention, grooves are provided on both sides of the counterweight bottom plate 31. A connecting seat 32 is fixedly provided in the groove. The connecting seat 32 is rotatably connected to a first rod body 33. One end of the first rod body 33 is fixedly connected to a floating plate 35. A rotating shaft 37 is rotatably connected to one side of the floating plate 35. An airbag 351 is provided at the bottom of the floating plate 35.

[0038] Furthermore, the floating plate 35 is in a fin-like shape, which can reduce the radial resistance of seawater when the device moves forward. When the fan 24 works, the floating plate 35 swings upward. During the upward swing of the floating plate 35, the bottom airbag 351 expands and the force-bearing area becomes larger, reducing the buoyancy support, ensuring that the fan 24 always works below the sea surface. At the same time, when the floating plate 35 swings upward, the first pipe 21 is clamped in the middle, forming a baffle structure that can well reduce the water flow impact force from the horizontal direction, reduce the offset of the device in the horizontal direction, and at the same time ensure that the backward water flow caused by the rotation of the fan will not spread to both sides immediately, improving the forward speed of the device in seawater.

[0039] Furthermore, when the external sea waves are large, the floating plate 35 swings downward, and the airbag 351 is compressed, providing greater buoyancy support, making a part of the first pipe 21 exposed above the sea surface. Since the bottom area covered by the counterweight 36 at the bottom of the device and the floating plate 35 is reduced, the overall center of gravity of the device shifts downward, thereby reducing the heaving amplitude of the device in seawater and avoiding the device from capsizing due to sea waves.

[0040] Refer to Appendix Figure 3 , as shown in Fig. 7, in the present invention, an arc-shaped groove is provided at the bottom of the counterweight bottom plate 31. A counterweight 36 is fixedly connected at the groove. Rotating shafts 37 are installed on both sides of the groove. A rod sleeve 34 is sleeved on the first rod body 33. A rod body is provided on one side of the rod sleeve 34 and is fixedly connected to the floating plate 35. The inner wall surface of the rod sleeve 34 abuts against a rotating base body 342. One end of the first rotating base body 342 is fixedly connected to an annular second rotating base body 341. The middle of the second rotating base body 341 is sleeved with the first rod body 33.

[0041] In the present invention, by the relative rotation of the first rod body 33 with respect to the rod sleeve 34 through the first and second rotating base bodies during the swinging process, the swinging amplitude of the floating plate 35 is controlled, driving the floating plate 35 to swing up and down. During the swinging process of the floating plate 35, the sundries attached to the periphery can be cleaned and fish can be driven away, etc.

[0042] Embodiment 3:

[0043] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, refer to Appendix Figure 1, As shown in Figure 2, the observation method of the observation platform device is to place the observation platform device in the sea area to be measured and start the drive motor 12. The drive motor 12 controls the propulsion assembly 20 to move the observation platform in the sea area. The imaging device 22 takes images and feeds back to the measuring instrument 11 to control the drive motor 12, and then controls whether the components in the propulsion assembly 20 work. The measuring instrument 11 collects and summarizes a number of data of the sea area to be observed.

[0044] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0045] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the inventive concept, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the invention.
