Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine buoy technology, specifically to a marine buoy for water quality monitoring with self-generating power capabilities. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous exploitation of marine resources, the marine ecological environment has been severely polluted and damaged. Therefore, real-time dynamic monitoring of the marine environment is essential. This requires the use of buoy devices equipped with monitoring equipment to monitor the marine environment in real time, thereby obtaining information on marine pollution and facilitating rapid and timely treatment of marine pollution. However, the existing buoys for monitoring marine water quality still have some shortcomings.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as the self-generating marine buoy disclosed in CN110758648A, when the device is placed on the water surface, the buoy itself can exhibit good stability with the rise and fall of the seawater. With the rise and fall of the seawater, the wave energy is driven by a series of mechanical transmissions to generate electricity. Combined with solar power generation, the two complement each other and can provide sufficient power in any environment. When a ship approaches a certain range of the buoy, the radar reflector, after encountering the radar electromagnetic wave sweep, will refract and amplify the radar electromagnetic wave due to its material and shape, and will display extremely strong echo information on the radar, which can be easily captured by the radar, allowing the ship to know the presence of the buoy in advance. However, during its use, the buoy is distributed on the outside of the float base, which makes the buoy easy to be damaged when it is impacted, affecting the normal power generation of the device, which has certain defects in use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water quality monitoring marine buoy with self-generating power generation capability, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that current marine buoys on the market cannot effectively protect against external impacts, making the power generation mechanism easily damaged.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a water quality monitoring marine buoy with self-generating power generation capability, comprising a floating base floating above the sea surface, a signal frame fixedly installed at the upper end of the floating base, a photovoltaic panel fixedly installed on the outer side of the signal frame, a storage battery fixedly installed on the inner side of the floating base, and a controller fixedly installed above the storage battery for signal transmission and water quality monitoring; and a tailpipe fixedly installed at the lower end of the floating base, with a water quality monitor fixedly installed on the outer side of the tailpipe.

[0006] It also includes: a movable frame, which is rotatably mounted on the outside of the float, and a floating plate is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the movable frame to improve the floating stability of the float;

[0007] The generator is fixedly installed on the inner side of the float, and a gear is fixedly installed on the shaft end of the generator to drive the generator to work and generate electricity through transmission.

[0008] The first movable ring and the second movable ring are rotatably installed on the outside of the tailpipe and the float, respectively. The first movable ring and the second movable ring are fixedly connected by a fixing bracket, and a scraper is rotatably installed on the lower outer side of the second movable ring to achieve automatic cleaning of the lower end of the float.

[0009] Preferably, the floating discs are arranged at equal angles to the axial direction of the floating base, and the floating discs float on the water surface. Protective rollers are uniformly installed on the outer circumference of the floating discs, and the protective rollers protrude from the side wall of the floating discs.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, the floating table can further improve the floating stability of the floating base. At the same time, the protective rollers on the outside of the floating table can rotate after contacting foreign objects to achieve guiding and stress relief, thereby effectively protecting the floating base and preventing it from being damaged by impact.

[0011] Preferably, the movable frame is arranged in a "Z" shape, and the upper end of the movable frame penetrates the upper side wall of the float, and a waterproof elastic membrane is connected between the upper outer wall of the movable frame and the through hole of the float.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the floating platform can drive the movable frame to rotate stably under the action of waves, allowing the upper end of the movable frame to extend and retract with the floating base, while the waterproof elastic membrane can effectively prevent seawater from entering the floating base.

[0013] Preferably, the upper end of the movable frame is an arc-shaped structure, and the arc segment of the movable frame is concentric with the rotation axis of the movable frame. Furthermore, toothed blocks are evenly arranged on the outer side of the arc segment of the movable frame, and the toothed blocks are meshed with gears.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the movable frame rotates under the drive of the floating table, the toothed blocks on the outer side of its upper end can mesh with the gear, thereby driving the generator and realizing self-generation.

[0015] Preferably, a traction rope is fixedly connected to the outer side of the movable frame, and the other end of the traction rope is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second movable ring, and a torsion spring is connected between the first movable ring and the tail tube.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the movable frame is rotating, the second movable ring can be rotated by pulling the traction rope, and at the same time, under the action of the torsion spring, the first movable ring drives the second movable ring to rotate and reset.

[0017] Preferably, a torsion spring is connected between the second movable ring and the rotating shaft at the upper end of the scraper, and the scraper is evenly arranged on the outside of the float seat and fits against the outside of the float seat, while the two sides of the scraper are inclined structures.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first and second movable rings rotate, they can drive the scraper to rotate synchronously, thereby cleaning the outer wall of the float and preventing corrosion caused by the adsorption of marine organisms.

[0019] Preferably, a piston cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner side of the float, and a piston plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the piston cylinder. The side wall of the piston plate is attached to the inner wall of the piston cylinder. At the same time, a pull rod is fixedly connected between the piston plate and the upper end of the movable frame. A suction pipe and a delivery pipe are respectively connected to the outer side of the piston cylinder. The other end of the suction pipe is immersed in seawater, and the suction pipe and the delivery pipe are unidirectional flow structures with opposite flow directions.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, during the rotation of the movable frame, the piston plate can be pulled synchronously by the pull rod, so that the piston cylinder can draw seawater from the outside through the suction pipe and discharge it through the infusion pipe.

[0021] Preferably, the inner side of the scraper is hollow, and the cavity of the scraper is connected to the infusion tube, and the side wall of the scraper is uniformly provided with water holes facing the surface of the float.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, water in the inner cavity of the scraper will be sprayed out through the water hole during the movement of the scraper and shot towards the outer wall of the float, thereby impacting the attached material.

[0023] Preferably, a first magnetic block is fixedly disposed at the lower end of the scraper, and a second magnetic block is fixedly disposed on the lower surface of the float, and the positions of the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block are such that the magnetic poles of adjacent first magnetic blocks and adjacent second magnetic blocks are opposite.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the scraper can rotate under the action of magnetic force during the rotation process, thereby shaking off the impurities remaining during the cleaning process and ensuring its long-term cleaning effect.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the water quality monitoring marine buoy with self-generating power can generate electricity efficiently, and the power generation mechanism can effectively protect the float seat, while driving the scraper to clean the outside of the float seat in real time to prevent marine organisms from attaching. The specific details are as follows.

[0026] 1. Equipped with floating discs and protective rollers, the floating discs, which are evenly distributed on the outside of the float seat, can effectively protect the sides of the float seat from impacts by foreign objects, preventing damage and leakage. At the same time, the protective rollers, which are rotatably connected to the outside of the floating discs, can guide and deflect the impact force through rotation, further improving the protection effect of the float seat.

[0027] 2. It is equipped with a movable frame, a floating platform, and a generator. When waves pass over the floating platform, they will cause the floating platform to rise and fall, thereby causing the movable frame to rotate back and forth. At this time, the toothed blocks on the outer side of the upper end of the movable frame will mesh with the gear, thereby driving the output end of the generator to achieve automatic power generation to supply power to the electrical equipment in the buoy and realize real-time monitoring.

[0028] 3. Equipped with a piston cylinder, a first movable ring, a second movable ring, and a scraper, when the movable frame rotates, it pulls the second movable ring to rotate via a traction rope. Simultaneously, under the action of a torsion spring connected to the outside of the first movable ring, the first and second movable rings can reciprocate, thereby enabling the scraper to automatically clean the outside of the float. At the same time, the movable frame drives the piston plate via a pull rod, causing the piston cylinder to automatically draw in seawater and deliver it to the cavity of the scraper, which is then sprayed out through the water holes, thereby removing adhering substances and effectively improving the cleaning effect on the outside of the float.

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Please see Figure 1-9 The present invention provides a technical solution: a water quality monitoring marine buoy with self-generating power generation capability, including a float 1 floating above the sea surface, a signal frame 2 fixedly installed at the upper end of the float 1, a photovoltaic panel 3 fixedly installed on the outer side of the signal frame 2, a storage battery 4 fixedly installed on the inner side of the float 1, and a controller 5 fixedly installed above the storage battery 4 for signal transmission and water quality monitoring, and a tailpipe 17 fixedly installed at the lower end of the float 1, with a water quality monitor fixedly installed on the outer side of the tailpipe 17;

[0041] It also includes: a movable frame 6, which is rotatably mounted on the outside of the float 1, and a floating plate 7 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the movable frame 6 to improve the floating stability of the float 1; a generator 10, which is fixedly mounted on the inside of the float 1, and a gear 11 is fixedly mounted on the shaft end of the generator 10 to drive the generator 10 to work and generate electricity through transmission.

[0042] Six floating discs 7 are arranged at equal angles to the axial direction of the float base 1, and the floating discs 7 float on the water surface. Protective rollers 8 are evenly mounted on the outer circumference of the floating discs 7, and the protective rollers 8 protrude from the side wall of the floating discs 7. The movable frame 6 is arranged in a "Z" shape, and the upper end of the movable frame 6 penetrates the upper side wall of the float base 1. A waterproof elastic membrane connects the upper outer wall of the movable frame 6 to the through hole of the float base 1. The upper end of the movable frame 6 is an arc-shaped structure, and the arc segment of the movable frame 6 is concentric with the rotation axis of the movable frame 6. Tooth blocks 9 are evenly arranged on the outer side of the arc segment of the movable frame 6, and the tooth blocks 9 mesh with gears 11.

[0043] like Figure 1-5As shown, when a floating object drifts towards the float 1, the float 7 can protect the float 1. When the floating object hits the protective roller 8, the protective roller 8 will rotate, thereby guiding and dissipating the impact force, thus effectively protecting the float 1. When the waves pass over the float 7, the float 7 will drive the movable frame 6 to rotate under the action of buoyancy, so that the toothed block 9 on the outer side of the upper end of the movable frame 6 meshes with the gear 11, thereby driving the shaft end of the generator 10 to rotate, so that the generator 10 generates its own electricity, which in turn works with the photovoltaic panel 3 to charge the battery 4 for use by the electrical equipment in the controller 5, facilitating the long-term monitoring of seawater quality.

[0044] The first movable ring 18 and the second movable ring 19 are rotatably installed on the outer side of the tailpipe 17 and the float 1, respectively. The first movable ring 18 and the second movable ring 19 are fixedly connected by the fixing bracket 20, and a scraper 22 is rotatably installed on the lower outer side of the second movable ring 19 to achieve automatic cleaning of the lower end of the float 1.

[0045] A traction rope 21 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the movable frame 6, and the other end of the traction rope 21 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second movable ring 19. A torsion spring is connected between the first movable ring 18 and the tail tube 17. A torsion spring is connected between the second movable ring 19 and the rotating shaft at the upper end of the scraper 22. The scraper 22 is evenly distributed on the outer side of the float 1 and fits against the outer side of the float 1. The two sides of the scraper 22 are inclined. A piston cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the float 1. A piston plate 13 is slidably connected to the inner side of the piston cylinder 12. The side wall of the piston plate 13 fits against the inner wall of the piston cylinder 12. A pull rod 14 is fixedly connected between the piston plate 13 and the upper end of the movable frame 6. A suction pipe 15 and an infusion pipe 16 are respectively connected to the outer side of the piston cylinder 12. The other end of the suction pipe 15 is immersed in seawater. The suction pipe 15 and the infusion pipe 16 are unidirectional flow structures with opposite flow directions. The inner side of the scraper 22 is hollow, and the cavity of the scraper 22 is connected to the infusion tube 16. Water holes 23 are evenly distributed on the sidewall of the scraper 22, facing the surface of the float 1. A first magnetic block 24 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the scraper 22, and a second magnetic block 25 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the float 1. The positions of the first magnetic block 24 and the second magnetic block 25 are such that the magnetic poles of adjacent first magnetic blocks 24 and adjacent second magnetic blocks 25 are opposite. Figure 1-4 and Figure 6-9As shown, when the movable frame 6 rotates, it pulls the second movable ring 19 to rotate via the traction rope 21. At this time, the scraper 22, which is rotatably connected to the outer side of the second movable ring 19, can scrape off the aquatic organisms attached to the outer wall of the float 1. Simultaneously, the movable frame 6 pulls the piston plate 13 to reciprocate inside the piston cylinder 12 via the pull rod 14, so that the piston cylinder 12 draws in the outside seawater through the suction pipe 15 and delivers it to the cavity of the scraper 22 through the delivery pipe 16. The seawater is then ejected at high speed through the water hole 23, impacting the surface of the float 1 and further improving the cleaning effect on the attached substances. When the scraper 22 rotates in contact with the float 1, the first magnetic block 24 at its lower end will intermittently approach the second magnetic block 25, causing the scraper 22 to rotate elastically under the action of magnetic force, thereby shaking off the impurities attached to its outer side, which is conducive to long-term cleaning.

[0046] Working principle: When using this self-generating water quality monitoring buoy, firstly, as... Figure 1-9 As shown, the floating plate 7, together with the protective roller 8, can effectively protect the floating seat 1. When waves pass over the floating plate 7, it will cause the movable frame 6 to rotate, thereby driving the shaft of the generator 10 to achieve automatic power generation. At the same time, the movable frame 6 will pull the second movable ring 19 to rotate through the traction rope 21, so that the scraper 22 can automatically clean the attached objects on the outside of the floating seat 1, and improve the cleaning effect by spraying seawater. During the rotation of the scraper 22, it will elastically shake under the action of magnetic force, throwing off the residue and ensuring its long-term cleaning effect, thus completing a series of tasks.
