A coral protection, observation and early warning device

Abstract

This invention discloses a coral protection, observation, and early warning device in the field of coral conservation, comprising a detection substrate, a rotating body I positioned above the detection substrate, and a rotating body II positioned above the rotating body I. This invention allows for real-time observation of the surrounding corals using a first and a second observation camera, helping to improve coral reef protection and raising public awareness of the importance and current state of coral reefs. By incorporating a unidirectional transmission structure, the forward and reverse rotation of a rotating motor can drive rotating body I and rotating body II in the forward and reverse directions respectively. This enables independent angle control of the first and second observation cameras, facilitating fixed-position adjustments. This can be accomplished with a single motor, solving the problems of existing methods where a single motor control is insufficient for independent camera control, and the need for two motors for independent camera control, resulting in high energy consumption and short operating time.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coral protection, specifically a coral protection, observation and early warning device. Background Technology

[0002] Statistics show that 20% of the world's coral reefs have disappeared, and 60% face a significant risk of collapse. Many people still don't realize why protecting coral reefs is so important. Besides providing revenue from underwater tourism and medicinal materials, many animals depend on coral reefs for survival; in fact, coral reefs are biologically productive. They cover only one-thousandth of the world's ocean surface, yet they provide home to one-third of the world's marine species. Essentially, if these coral reefs disappear, one-third of the world's marine biodiversity will also disappear. Unfortunately, coral reefs are among the least observed and cared-for underwater ecosystems in the world. Furthermore, existing monitoring devices, when controlled by a single motor, cannot independently control the camera; when using two cameras for independent control, two motors are required, resulting in high energy consumption and short operating times. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a coral protection, observation, and early warning device to address the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment of the invention, a coral protection, observation, and early warning device includes a detection substrate 1, a rotating body 3 disposed above the detection substrate 1, a rotating body 4 disposed above the rotating body 3, and a central sealing assembly 14 disposed between the rotating body 3 and the rotating body 4, as well as between the detection substrate 1 and the rotating body 3. The central sealing assembly 14 includes a sealing groove formed between the detection substrate 1 and the rotating body 3, and between the rotating body 3 and the rotating body 4, and a sealing ring pressed into the sealing groove. A first observation camera 5 is embedded and sealed on the outer wall of the rotating body 3, and a second observation camera 5 is embedded and sealed on the outer wall of the rotating body 4. A camera is installed on the inner hole of the detection base 1 by screws. The output end of the rotating motor 11 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 12 that is rotatably connected to both rotating body 3 and rotating body 4. A one-way transmission structure component 16 for one-way transmission is provided between the outer wall of the rotating shaft 12 and both rotating body 3 and rotating body 4. The transmission directions of the one-way transmission structure component 16 inside rotating body 3 and rotating body 4 are opposite. The one-way transmission structure component 16 includes a storage groove 1601, a spring 1602, an elastic block 1603, a pin 1604, a locking hole 1605, and a triangular transmission slot 1606.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the surrounding coral conditions can be observed in real time through the first observation camera 5 and the second observation camera 6, which helps to improve the protection of coral reefs and raise public awareness of the importance and current status of coral reefs. By setting up a one-way transmission structure component 16, the rotating body 3 and the rotating body 4 can be driven to rotate in the forward and reverse directions by controlling the rotating motor 11, respectively. This allows for independent angle control of the first observation camera 5 and the second observation camera 6, facilitating fixed position adjustment. This can be accomplished with a single motor, solving the problems of the existing method where the camera cannot be controlled independently when using a single motor, and the need for two motors when using two cameras for independent control, resulting in high energy consumption and short working time.

[0019] The storage slot 1601 is located on the side wall of the rotating shaft 12, the elastic block 1603 is placed inside the storage slot 1601, and the pin 1604 is located between the elastic block 1603 and the storage slot 1601 on the rotating shaft 12. The elastic block 1603 and the rotating shaft 12 are rotatably connected by the pin 1604.

[0020] Among them, the card hole 1605 is opened on the side wall of the storage groove 1601 and the elastic card block 1603 facing each other, and the two ends of the spring 1602 are fixedly installed inside the card hole 1605. The inner walls of the rotating body 1 3 and the rotating body 2 4 are provided with triangular transmission slots 1606 at the same height as the elastic card block 1603.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rotating shaft 12 rotates in the forward direction, it will drive the elastic block 1603 to rotate. After the elastic block 1603 enters the triangular transmission slot 1606, it will extend into the triangular transmission slot under the action of the spring 1602, and then press against the rotating body 3, thereby driving the rotating body 3 to rotate. At the same time, the elastic block 1603 inside the rotating body 4 is set in the opposite direction and will gradually withdraw from the triangular transmission slot 1606, and will not transmit power. When the rotating shaft 12 rotates in the reverse direction, it will act in the opposite direction on the rotating body 3 and the rotating body 4, which is extremely energy-saving.

[0022] The underwater listening device 17 is embedded and sealed on one side wall of the detection substrate 1. Three L-shaped fixing nails 2 are evenly fixed on the lower periphery of the detection substrate 1. The underwater listening device 17 can receive sound information in real time. The fixing nails 2 are used to fix this device next to the coral on the bottom of the water for coral observation.

[0023] Among them, the rotating body 1 3 and the rotating body 2 4, as well as the detection base 1 and the rotating body 1 3, are all connected by a central sealing assembly 14 to ensure the sealing and waterproof performance of the rotating body 1 3 and the rotating body 2 4.

[0024] Among them, a top elastic sealing ring 7 is provided above the rotating body 2 4, a top pressure cover 8 is provided above the top elastic sealing ring 7, a top fixing screw 10 is installed between the top pressure cover 8 and the rotating shaft 12, the top fixing screw passes through the top pressure cover 8 and the top elastic sealing ring 7 and is connected to the rotating shaft 12 by threads, a top sealing ring 15 for sealing is pressed between the bottom periphery of the top fixing screw 10 and the top pressure cover 8, and an underwater alarm 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the top fixing screw 10.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the rotating body 3 and rotating body 4 in this device can be clamped and installed by the top fixing screw 10. When installing, care should be taken not to apply too much force to avoid locking the rotating body 3 and rotating body 4. The underwater alarm 9 can issue an alarm message when the first observation camera 5 and the second observation camera 6 detect abnormal signals.

[0026] The rotary motor 11 also includes a controller for controlling its forward and reverse rotation. Rotating body 1 3 and rotating body 2 4 have built-in ring-shaped batteries 13 for power supply and data analysis modules for data analysis, which can realize the analysis of observation data.

[0027] The underwater alarm 9 is connected to the data analysis module via a wire, and the wire is equipped with a conductive slip ring for providing a rotating electrical connection. The underwater alarm 9 can also be separated from the top fixing screw 10 and connected via a long wire, and placed in an external monitoring room for real-time remote monitoring and alarm.

[0028] In this embodiment, the early warning device can be powered by an external power source through a wire, and the monitoring data from the first and second monitoring cameras are connected to the observation device in the monitoring room through the wire for real-time observation of the surrounding video dynamics. Moreover, the detection data is stored on the hard disk for subsequent download.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment 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.
