Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of marine monitoring, and in particular to a marine environmental monitoring device for marine ecological restoration projects. Background Technology

[0002] The marine environment refers to the vast, continuous body of water of seas and oceans on Earth. It includes seawater, dissolved and suspended substances in seawater, seabed sediments, and marine life. It is the cradle of life and a treasure trove of resources for humankind. With the increasing scale of human exploitation of marine resources, the marine environment has been impacted and polluted by human activities. Therefore, it is necessary to restore the marine ecological environment. This restoration process often requires the use of marine environmental monitoring devices to understand the marine ecological environment.

[0003] When existing marine environmental monitoring devices are deployed on the ocean, they float on the surface, with the solar photovoltaic panels used to collect solar energy located above the sea surface. In the event of large waves, the monitoring device may capsize, potentially causing the solar photovoltaic panels to flip and sink into the ocean, rendering them unusable. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to reduce the occurrence of marine environmental monitoring devices being overturned by wind and waves, resulting in solar photovoltaic panels being constantly submerged in the ocean, this application provides a marine environmental monitoring device for marine ecological restoration projects.

[0005] The marine environmental monitoring device for marine ecological restoration projects provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A marine environmental monitoring device for marine ecological restoration projects includes a float plate with a solar photovoltaic panel installed on its upper surface. An adjustment mechanism is installed on the float plate, and the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment rod hinged to the lower surface of the float plate. An adjustment plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the adjustment rod. Multiple limiting rods are installed on the side wall of the float plate. During the process of the float plate swaying and causing the limiting rods to sway, the end of the limiting rod near the adjustment plate collides with the side wall of the adjustment plate.

[0007] By employing the above technical solution, a floating platform is deployed on the ocean, controlling the solar photovoltaic panel to be positioned above the floating platform and above the sea surface. The control rod and control plate are submerged in the ocean. Due to the weight of the control plate, it is essentially directly below the floating platform. When encountering wind and waves, the floating platform sways, causing the limiting rod to sway as well. During this swaying, the limiting rod collidees with the side wall of the control plate, reducing the likelihood of the floating platform overturning. When larger waves are required to cause both the floating platform and the control plate to overturn, because the control plate is hinged to the floating platform via the control rod, once positioned above the floating platform, the control plate will tilt to one side. This tilting will cause the floating platform to overturn and reset, allowing the solar photovoltaic panel to resurface. This reduces the likelihood of the marine environmental monitoring device overturning due to wind and waves, preventing the solar photovoltaic panel from remaining submerged in the ocean.

[0008] Preferably, the adjusting rod is hinged to the float ball, and multiple limiting rods are evenly installed on the periphery of the float.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, since the adjusting rod is hinged to the float ball, the limiting rods on the periphery of the float can be restricted by the adjusting plate when the float shakes in any direction.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the adjusting plate opposite to the adjusting rod has an elongated groove that extends into the interior of the adjusting rod. A connecting rod is slidably inserted into the elongated groove, and the end of the connecting rod away from the adjusting rod is fixedly connected to the water quality detector body. A lifting mechanism that drives the connecting rod to move along the elongated groove is connected to the float plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting rod is driven to rise and fall by the lifting mechanism, and the rising and falling of the connecting rod drives the water quality detector body to rise and fall, which makes it easier for the water quality detector body to detect the water quality at different depths in the ocean.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a receiving box installed above the float, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the receiving box, a connecting rope wound around the outside of the rotating shaft, one end of the connecting rope extending out of the receiving box and passing through the long groove to be fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod, one end of the rotating shaft extending out of the receiving box and having a handle attached thereto, and a limiting component connected to the handle to restrict the rotation of the rotating shaft.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the handle can be rotated in both directions, which in turn drives the shaft to rotate. The rotation of the shaft in both directions can pull the connecting rope to wind up or down, and the winding and unwinding of the connecting rope can pull the connecting rod and the water quality detector body to rise and fall. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0014] Preferably, a prism-shaped receiving rod is coaxially fixed to one end of the rotating shaft extending out of the receiving box. The handle includes a handle rod with a square hole at one end. The receiving rod is slidably inserted into the square hole. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the end of the handle rod away from the receiving rod. The side of the fixing rod close to the receiving rod is in close contact with an outer side wall of the receiving box.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fixing rod is pressed tightly against one outer wall of the receiving box, the rotating shaft can hardly continue to rotate, and at this time the rotating shaft is locked. When it is necessary to rotate the rotating shaft, the fixing rod is slid away from the receiving box, and the fixing rod and the handle rod slide together along the receiving rod until the fixing rod is separated from the receiving box. At this time, the handle rod and the fixing rod can rotate together around the axis of the rotating shaft to drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The structure is simple and can achieve the desired effect, saving costs.

[0016] Preferably, a control component located within the elongated trough connects the connecting rope and the connecting rod. The control component includes two first connecting rods and two second connecting rods. The ends of the two first connecting rods near the connecting rope are hinged together and fixed to the connecting rope. The ends of the two second connecting rods near the connecting rod are hinged to the upper end of the connecting rod. One first rod corresponds to one second rod, and the first rod and the second rod are hinged together. A first spring is fixedly connected between the two first rods, and a second spring is fixedly connected between the two second rods. When the water quality detector body is below the float, the hinge joint of the first and second rods is detached from the side wall of the elongated trough. When the water quality detector body is above the float, the hinge joint of the first and second rods is pressed against the side wall of the elongated trough by the force of the second spring of the first spring.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the water quality detector body is below the float, the gravity of the water quality detector body exerts a downward force on the connecting rod. At this time, both the connecting rod and the connecting rope tighten the control component. The two first rods move towards each other, compressing the first spring, and the two second rods move towards each other, compressing the second spring. When the float flips up and down, the water quality detector body is above the float. At this time, the water quality detector body can no longer exert tension on the connecting rod. The two first rods move away from each other under the force of the first spring, and the two second rods move towards each other under the force of the second spring. In this way, the hinged ends of the first and second rods are pressed against the side wall of the long groove, making it difficult for the connecting rod to move towards the inside of the long groove. This reduces the possibility of the water quality detector body suddenly falling and causing a collision. Moreover, after the float flips up and down, the connecting rod automatically locks in the long groove, and the lock is automatically released after the float returns to its original position.

[0018] Preferably, a plurality of mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the periphery of the floating plate, and each mounting block is provided with a mounting hole. One end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to a cap and an elastic block. The limiting rod is inserted into one of the mounting holes, and the cap and the elastic block clamp the mounting hole.

[0019] By employing the above technical solution, pulling the limiting rod away from the mounting block causes the elastic block to deform under the pressure of the mounting hole's sidewall until it passes through the hole. At this point, both the elastic block and the cap are on the same side of the mounting hole. Pulling the limiting rod allows it to detach from the mounting hole, thus completing the removal of the limiting rod. Similarly, pushing the elastic block through the mounting hole causes the cap and elastic block to clamp the hole, completing the installation of the limiting rod. A specific number of limiting rods can be installed on the float as needed, and the limiting rods are easy to disassemble and maintain.

[0020] Preferably, the lower surface of the float is a hemispherical surface.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, the float can float more stably on the sea surface.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. It reduces the likelihood of marine environmental monitoring devices being overturned by wind and waves, thus preventing solar photovoltaic panels from remaining submerged in the ocean.

[0024] 2. After the float plate flips up and down, the connecting rod automatically locks in the long slot. After the float plate resets, the lock is automatically released.

[0025] 3. Install a specific number of limit rods on the floating plate as needed, and ensure that the limit rods are easy to disassemble and maintain. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0032] This application discloses a marine environmental monitoring device for marine ecological restoration projects. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The monitoring device includes a float 1 and a water quality detector body 2 mounted on the float 1. A support rod 3 is fixedly connected vertically upward to the upper surface of the float 1, and a solar photovoltaic panel 31 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support rod 3. The lower surface of the float 1 is a hemispherical surface, and an adjustment mechanism 4 is installed on the float 1 to keep the solar photovoltaic panel 31 always above the float 1.

[0033] A spherical groove 11 is formed in the middle of the lower surface of the float 1. The inner diameter of the spherical groove 11 is larger than the diameter of the opening of the spherical groove 11. The adjustment mechanism 4 includes an adjustment rod 41. The lower end of the adjustment rod 41 is fixedly connected to a horizontally arranged adjustment plate 42. The upper end of the adjustment rod 41 is provided with a spherical block 43, which is inserted into the spherical groove 11. The diameter of the spherical block 43 is larger than the diameter of the opening of the spherical groove 11, but smaller than the maximum diameter inside the spherical groove 11. A plurality of limiting rods 44 are evenly installed on the periphery of the float 1. Each limiting rod 44 is arranged in the same direction as the adjustment rod 41.

[0034] After the monitoring device is deployed on the ocean, the float 1 floats on the sea surface with its hemispherical surface facing downwards. The solar photovoltaic panel 31 is located above the sea surface, while the adjusting rod 41 and adjusting plate 42 are submerged in the ocean. When encountering wind and waves, the float 1 sways on the sea surface, and this swaying causes the limiting rod 44 to sway as well. Under the influence of the combined gravity of the adjusting rod 41 and adjusting plate 42, the adjusting rod 41 and adjusting plate 42 remain vertically downwards. When the float 1 sways significantly, the limiting rod 44 will collide with the side wall of the adjusting plate 42 during its movement, and the adjusting plate 42 will abut against the limiting rod, thus preventing the float 1 from overturning.

[0035] When the waves are too large, causing the float 1, the limiting rod 44, and the adjusting rod 41 to flip up and down, the solar photovoltaic panel 31 is submerged in the ocean. The adjusting plate 42 is located above the float 1. Because the diameter of the spherical block 43 is smaller than the maximum diameter inside the spherical groove 11, the spherical block 43 can move within the spherical groove 11. Thus, the adjusting plate 42 cannot maintain its position directly above the float 1. Under its own weight, the adjusting plate 42 causes the adjusting rod 41 to tilt to one side. This tilting of the adjusting plate 42 pushes the float 1 to flip up and down, returning it to its original position. The solar photovoltaic panel 31 then detaches from the ocean, ensuring that it remains above the float 1 at all times.

[0036] Each limiting rod 44 is detachably connected to the float 1. Multiple mounting blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the periphery of the float 1, evenly distributed along its periphery. Each mounting block 5 has a mounting hole 51 on its upper surface. A cap 441 and an elastic block 442 are fixedly connected to one end of each limiting rod 44. The cap 441 is cylindrical, and the elastic block 442 is conical, with a pointed end away from the cap 441. The diameters of the cap 441 and the maximum diameter of the elastic block 442 are larger than the mounting hole 51. The limiting rod 44 is inserted into the mounting hole 51, and the cap 441 and the elastic block 442 clamp the mounting hole 51.

[0037] The limiting rod 44 can be installed and removed from the float 1 as needed. When the limiting rod 44 needs to be installed, insert the end of the limiting rod 44 away from the cap 441 into the corresponding mounting hole 51. Then push the limiting rod 44 towards the mounting hole 51. The limiting rod 44 causes the elastic block 442 to be squeezed against the side wall of the mounting hole 51 until the elastic block 442 passes through the mounting hole 51. At this time, the mounting block 5 is clamped between the elastic block 442 and the cap 441, and the connection between the limiting rod 44 and the float 1 is completed.

[0038] The water quality detector body 2 is installed below the adjustment plate 42. In order to facilitate the detection of water quality at different depths in the ocean, a lifting mechanism 6 is connected between the water quality detector body 2 and the adjustment plate 42.

[0039] The lifting mechanism 6 includes a connecting rod 61. An elongated groove 421 is formed on the bottom surface of the adjusting plate 42, extending vertically upwards into the adjusting rod 41. The connecting rod 61 is slidably inserted into the elongated groove 421. A counterweight 62 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 61, and the lower surface of the counterweight 62 is fixedly connected to the water quality detector body 2. The lifting mechanism 6 also includes a lifting assembly 63 that adjusts the connecting rod 61 to move up and down along the elongated groove 421.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The lifting assembly 63 includes a receiving box 631 fixedly connected to the side of the support rod 3. A rotating shaft 632 is rotatably connected inside the receiving box 631, and the rotating shaft 632 is arranged in the same direction as the support rod 3. One end of the rotating shaft 632 passes through one side wall of the receiving box 631 and is connected to a handle. A connecting hole 12 is provided on the bottom wall of the spherical groove 11, extending into the support rod 3 and communicating with the inside of the receiving box 631. A connecting rope 634 is wound around the rotating shaft 632, and one end of the connecting rope 634 passes through the connecting hole 12, through the spherical block 43, and extends into the adjusting rod 41, where it is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 61. A limiting member is connected to the handle to restrict the rotation of the rotating shaft 632.

[0041] Rotating the handle causes the shaft 632 to rotate. Rotating the shaft 632 in both directions can cause the connecting rope 634 to be wound up and down. The winding and unwinding of the connecting rope 634 can pull the connecting rod 61, the counterweight 62, and the water quality detector body 2 to move up and down.

[0042] A quadrangular prism-shaped receiving rod 635 is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 632 extending out of the receiving box 631. The handle includes a handle rod 633, which is perpendicular to the receiving rod 635 and has a square hole 6331 at one end. The receiving rod 635 is slidably inserted into the square hole 6331. The limiting component includes a fixing rod 636 fixedly connected to the end of the handle rod 633 away from the square hole 6331. The fixing rod 636 is perpendicular to the handle rod 633 in the direction closer to the receiving rod 635. Sliding the handle rod 633 in the direction closer to the receiving rod 635 until the side wall of the fixing rod 636 close to the side of the receiving box 631 makes it difficult for the receiving rod 635 and the rotating shaft 632 to rotate.

[0043] To prevent the water quality detector body 2 and the counterweight 62 from continuously falling into the elongated groove 421 due to their combined gravity after the float 1 flips up and down, a control component 7 is connected to the connecting rod 61.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The control component 7 is disposed within the elongated groove 421 and includes two first rods 71 ​​and two second rods 72. The upper ends of each first rod 71 are hinged together and fixedly connected to the connecting rope 634. The lower ends of each second rod 72 are hinged to the upper ends of the connecting rod 61. One first rod 71 corresponds to one second rod 72, and the ends of the first rod 71 and the second rod 72 that are close to each other are hinged together. A first spring 73 is provided between the two first rods 71. One end of the first spring 73 is fixedly connected to one of the first rods 71, and the other end is fixedly connected to the other first rod 71. A second spring 74 is provided between the two second rods 72. One end of the second spring 74 is fixedly connected to one of the second rods 72, and the other end is fixedly connected to the other second rod 72.

[0045] When the counterweight 62 and the water quality detector body 2 are located below the float 1, the weight of the counterweight 62 and the water quality detector body 2 pulls the connecting rod 61 downwards, and the connecting rod 61 and the connecting rope 634 tighten the control component 7 between them. At this time, the hinge joint of each first rod 71 and the corresponding second rod 72 is disengaged from the side wall of the long groove 421, and the first spring 73 and the second spring 74 are both in a compressed state.

[0046] When the float 1 is overturned by wind and waves, the counterweight 62 and the water quality detector body 2 both flip to above the float 1, and the connecting rod 61 stops applying tension to the control component 7. At this time, the two first rods 71 ​​move away from each other under the force of the first spring 73, and the two second rods 72 move away from each other under the force of the second spring 74. Thus, the hinged ends of the first rods 71 ​​and the second rods 72 are pressed against the side wall of the elongated groove 421, and the connecting rod 61 stops falling further into the elongated groove 421.

[0047] When the float 1 flips up and down until the water quality detector body 2 is below the float 1, the connecting rope 634 and the connecting rod 61 tighten the control component 7 again due to the gravity of the counterweight 62 and the water quality detector body 2. At this time, the hinged ends of the first rod 71 and the second rod 72 are both disengaged from the inner wall of the long groove 421.

[0048] The implementation principle of the marine environmental monitoring device for marine ecological restoration engineering in this application embodiment is as follows: when the monitoring device is deployed on the ocean, when the float 1 is blown by wind and waves, the float 1 causes multiple limit rods 44 to sway. The swaying of the limit rods 44 will collide with the adjustment plate 42, and the adjustment plate 42 will reduce the occurrence of the float 1 flipping up and down.

[0049] When the wind and waves are large, the float 1 causes the limiting rod 44 and the float 1 to flip up and down. After flipping, the adjusting plate 42 causes the adjusting rod 41 to tilt to one side. At this time, the gravity of the adjusting plate 42 pushes the limiting rod 44 and the float 1 to flip up and down again, so that the monitoring device returns to its original shape.

[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
