Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of marine ecosystems, and in particular relates to a three-dimensional monitoring device for artificial fish reefs. Background Art

[0002] It's widely acknowledged that marine ranches play a crucial role in the growth and conservation of fishery resources. The deployment of artificial reefs is a key component of marine ranching. Artificial reefs are subsea reefs or other raised structures that provide a suitable habitat for fish to gather, grow, and reproduce. Their purpose is to improve the marine ecosystem, create a favorable habitat for marine life, and increase the abundance of fishery resources in the area.

[0003] In recent years, the technology and techniques for constructing artificial reefs have matured, and researchers both domestically and internationally have conducted research on their materials. Initially, materials such as bamboo, stone, and used tires have evolved, evolving to concrete structures, used ships and vehicles, and more recently, new materials such as steel, shells, and HDPE. The status inspection system for artificial reef maintenance involves regularly mobilizing divers for underwater photography and post-maintenance work. The captured image data determines whether maintenance is warranted, which is time-consuming and expensive. Simply acquiring simple photographic data to determine whether artificial reefs are being maintained is crucial. Therefore, future maintenance of artificial reefs requires low-cost, high-precision methods.

[0004] Existing technologies include an invention patent titled "Artificial Reef Fishery and Seaweed Forest Monitoring Device," with the publication number of this invention patent being KR102399078B1. This invention overcomes the problem that existing underwater imaging systems, which are designed to shoot from a ship down to the seabed, cannot work at a fixed point due to the presence of ocean currents and ocean currents. This invention provides an artificial fishery and seaweed forest monitoring device that can collect real-time information on changes in the biological field and monitor changes in the sea area within a set time. The set time is installed in the artificial fishery and seaweed forest waters to be monitored. In order to solve these existing problems, the post-mortem situation can be monitored after the establishment of artificial fish reefs or seaweed forest sites, thereby enabling more effective monitoring of fisheries. However, this invention cannot achieve the protection of artificial reefs and the clustering effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional monitoring device for artificial fish reefs with good clustering effect, convenient observation and guaranteed living environment.

[0006] The technical solutions adopted by the present invention to achieve the above-mentioned purpose are:

[0007] A three-dimensional monitoring device for artificial reefs, comprising a protective cover and a suspension assembly, wherein a plurality of suspension assemblies are arranged around the outer side of the lower layer of the protective cover, and wherein the protective cover body comprises an outer shell and an inner shell spaced apart from each other, wherein both the outer shell and the inner shell are made of transparent material, and a plurality of sealing assemblies are arranged between the outer shell and the inner shell;

[0008] A breeding net is arranged around the bottom side of the inner shell, and a monitoring device is arranged inside the inner shell.

[0009] Through the overall design of a three-dimensional monitoring device for artificial reefs, multiple suspension components can control the overall buoyancy and sinking, and a breeding net is provided around the bottom side of the inner shell to protect the artificial reefs and improve the clustering effect. At the same time, the monitoring device is used to detect the artificial reefs. The suspension components can also cooperate with the collision caused by the surge of waves; through the multiple sealing components provided between the outer shell and the inner shell, the seal can seal the space between the outer shell and the inner shell to prevent water from entering the space between the outer shell and the inner shell, providing buoyancy for the protective cover and reducing the overall weight of the protective cover, which can reduce the inertia of the protective cover and prevent it from being hit due to excessive inertia when floating up or sinking; in addition, the outer shell and the inner shell are both made of transparent materials, so that light can pass through the protective cover, so that light can be irradiated to the artificial reef, which can improve the growth of coral reefs or other plants and the conversion of nutrients, and is beneficial to the monitoring device for monitoring and statistics of fish schools. The accuracy of the data facilitates the calculation of dominant species and the accuracy of fish population estimates. Furthermore, the protective shield can mitigate water impact, enhance the clustering effect, and centralize water flow, allowing water to flow upward along the bottom of the inner shell. This helps increase the nutrient content in the water, thereby increasing the number and diversity of fish in the artificial reef. It also reduces or eliminates the presence of symbiotic plants and animals attached to the surface of the shield, improving its protection. This prevents increased surface resistance that could affect the overall device's ability to withstand water impact, and increases the speed of the suspended components' upward and downward movement, thereby enhancing emergency response. The aquaculture net ensures internal and external water circulation, enabling resource exchange. It also reduces the impact of external water flow on the net and reduces the speed at which water enters the net, ensuring internal ecological stability. This in turn enhances the clustering effect and the stability of the artificial reef, making it more conducive for fish to settle in the area, thus forming a positive cycle and improving the aquaculture efficiency of the marine ranch.

[0010] Among them, the suspension component can work together with the protective cover to ensure that the entire device floats up when there is sufficient sunlight, ensuring that the protective cover can refract more sunlight into its interior, thereby improving the growth and reproduction of symbiotic algae in coral reefs. When the protective cover rises, the lower end of the protective cover rises relatively, allowing more water to enter and flow through the artificial reef, thereby driving more nutrients from the lower layer to the upper layer, increasing the nutrients contained in the upper water body, thereby forming a good living environment, which is conducive to protecting the living environment of organisms, enhancing the clustering effect, and is beneficial to the breeding efficiency of marine ranches; in severe weather conditions, through the suspension The floating component is controlled to sink the protective cover to protect the artificial reef and prevent the water flow impact from causing irreversible damage to the artificial reef. The lower end of the protective cover is relatively lowered, which can reduce the water with greater external impact from entering the interior, and has a better protective effect on the internal flora and fauna. At the same time, the aquaculture nets will form a stack when they descend, and the stacking can further cope with the impact of the water body. At the same time, the stacking can form a greater resistance between the aquaculture nets and the seabed, and improve the ability of the overall device to resist the impact of the water body. In addition, it can also protect the surrounding seabed sediment, prevent the sediment from being seriously lost under the impact of the water flow, and can achieve the retention of nutrients in the sediment.

[0011] The monitoring device is used to detect the water quality in the artificial reef and photograph the underwater artificial reef through an underwater camera, wherein the underwater camera takes pictures at a constant time interval. The detection device also includes an information exchange device floating on the water surface, which can transmit the data detected by the monitoring device to the ground base station via wireless means. The base station will analyze the data and then derive the water phase of the detected reef, including the water quality data and underwater images and images of various fish measured by the underwater detection device. The ground base station will extract the species characteristics of the farmed and other fish, and detect and compare the photographed images. Through comparison and comparison, the number of fish in the photographed images can be counted, and the dominant fish species of the artificial reef can be determined. The dominant fish species of the artificial reef are displayed on the bottom server, and the number of dominant fish species in the artificial reef can be estimated through algorithms.

[0012] The detection device can also monitor the turbidity, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature of the water body. The measured data that is greater than or less than the reference value range in the predefined environment can be judged as an abnormal situation. The standard of the predefined environmental reference value can vary according to the type of environmental data that can be produced.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sealing assembly includes at least two first buffer bases spaced apart from each other, wherein the first and the last first buffer bases are respectively connected to the outer shell and the inner shell, and a second buffer base is provided between adjacent first buffer bases;

[0014] The second buffer matrix is ​​hollow, and a plurality of buffer partitions are arranged in parallel in the second buffer matrix.

[0015] One design of the sealing assembly may include an annular sealing assembly disposed parallel and circumferentially between the outer shell and the inner shell.

[0016] The above design prevents water from invading the space between the outer shell and the inner shell, achieving a more stable and efficient sealing effect. Furthermore, the first buffer component is made of a hard material, the second buffer component is made of a rubber material, and the buffer baffle is also made of a rubber material. When water impacts the outer shell, the impact force of the water is transmitted to the sealing component. The first buffer component is mainly used to fix the position of the sealing component and stabilize the second buffer component. Since the second buffer base is hollow and multiple buffer baffles are arranged in parallel within the second buffer base, the second buffer base and the buffer baffles will absorb the impact force through deformation. If an annular sealing component is used, the gas in the second buffer base can flow freely, that is, it can flow in an annular shape within the outer shell and the inner shell through the annular sealing component. After being impacted, the flow can improve the absorption of the impact and prevent the second buffer base from rupturing after being subjected to a large impact force. At this time, the pressure of the inner shell and the outer shell can be evenly distributed, thereby effectively preventing the sealing component from being damaged due to excessive pressure. In actual application, by reasonably selecting the number and distribution of buffer baffles, better sealing and buffering effects can be achieved.

[0017] In addition, through the setting of the sealing component, multiple first buffer components can also provide a limiting effect, that is, when the water impact is large, the second buffer component is flattened under the action of the impact force. At this time, the first buffer component will achieve limiting, that is, the space between the shell and the inner shell is maintained, preventing the guide component between the outer shell and the inner shell from being damaged due to excessive impact, and can also avoid collision between the outer shell and the inner shell.

[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a suspension assembly includes a suspension base, at least one air supply device is provided in the suspension base, a vent is provided at the top of the suspension base, a control rod is provided in the suspension base, a sealing member is provided at one end of the control rod, the sealing member is provided corresponding to the vent, and a control device is provided in the suspension base, the control device is used to adjust the axial movement of the control rod to change the matching state of the sealing member and the vent;

[0019] A water filter port is provided on the bottom layer of the side wall of the suspension base, and a plurality of flow guide components are provided around the circumference of the suspension base.

[0020] Through the above design, the floating and sinking of the entire device can be achieved through the suspension component, so the suspension component has a floating state and a sinking state. When in the floating state, the control device will adjust the control rod to move axially toward the air vent, thereby achieving the air vent being sealed by the sealing member. At this time, the air supply device will release air into the suspension base, thereby achieving the upper layer of the suspension base being filled with gas. When the amount of gas is sufficient, the air supply device will stop releasing air, and the water repelled by the gas in the suspension component can be discharged through the water filter port. At this time, the buoyancy generated by the multiple suspension components will be greater than the gravity of the entire device in the water, thereby achieving the floating movement of the entire device; when in the sinking state, the control device will adjust the control rod to move axially away from the air vent, thereby achieving the air vent being opened. The air supply device is in a closed state, and the gas in the suspension component will be discharged through the air vent. At the same time as the gas is discharged, the water will enter the suspension base through the water filter port. At this time, the suspension component will no longer provide buoyancy, and the entire device will immediately sink. Through the above process, it is possible to quickly switch between floating and sinking states. At the same time, the switching is simple and efficient, and the usage time is longer than other suspension devices.

[0021] The diversion component is used to divert the water flowing around the suspension base when the suspension base is in the floating state and the sinking state, thereby improving the stability of the suspension base in the floating and sinking states.

[0022] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the flow guide assembly includes a first tube body, a second tube body is provided extending from the middle of the first tube body to both sides, and the first tube body and the second tube body are connected;

[0023] A rotating shaft is vertically provided at the connection between the first tube body and the second tube body, and the other end of the rotating shaft is connected to the suspension base.

[0024] Through the above design, the first tube body and the second tube body can be rotated relative to the suspension base through the rotating shaft. When the suspension base floats on the water surface or is in a stable state, the impact of the water body from the side will preferentially pass through the first tube body and the second tube body. The first tube body and the second tube body will allow the water to flow through and reduce the impact force of the water body. In addition, when the first tube body and the second tube body are impacted by the water body from the side, the rotating shaft will drive the guide component to rotate as a whole, which can further eliminate the impact force of the water body from the side, thereby eliminating the impact of waves and water bodies. In addition, when the suspension component is in a floating state or a sinking state, due to inertia and the action of water flow, the first tube body can move in a vertical state, play a role in guiding the water flow, and improve the stability of the suspension component when moving up and down. The water body can also be discharged from two directions of the second tube body, expanding the number and range of water columns formed around the suspension component during the up and down movement, which helps to remove attachments on the side wall of the suspension component, reduce resistance, and thus increase the speed of floating and sinking.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a rotating shaft is provided in each of the first tube body and the second tube body. The rotating shaft is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the corresponding tube body, and at least one rotating piece is provided on the rotating shaft.

[0026] Through the above design, when the suspension component floats up or sinks, the water will flow through the first tube body and the second tube body. At this time, the rotating plates in the first tube body and the second tube body will rotate around the rotating axis with the flow of water. In this process, some noise will be generated to prevent organisms from approaching and causing diversion failure or unstable floating and sinking.

[0027] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of guide assemblies are provided between the outer shell and the inner shell, the guide assemblies including a guide shell, a guide bracket provided within the guide shell, the guide bracket being rotatably connected to light guide plates arranged obliquely and symmetrically, light-transmitting glass being fixedly provided on the opening sides of the two obliquely and symmetrically arranged light guide plates, and a slot being provided on the other side of the two obliquely and symmetrically arranged light guide plates, the slot accommodating the end of at least one optical fiber, the optical fiber extending to the lower layer of the aquaculture net, and the optical fiber being connected to the aquaculture net;

[0028] Springs are provided on the back sides of the two light guide plates, and the other ends of the springs are connected to the light guide housing, which is made of transparent material.

[0029] Among them, the two tilted symmetrically arranged light guide plates are rotatable. In the absence of wind and waves, the two tilted symmetrically arranged light guide plates will remain vertical due to the action of gravity. When vibration occurs, the protective cover will swing with the water flow, thereby causing the light guide plate to swing. The protective cover will produce regular swings under the impact of the water body, thereby causing the light guide plate in the guide component to swing periodically, thereby guiding sunlight at different angles, and guiding the sunlight to the end of the optical fiber in the gap, and the optical fiber extends to the lower layer of the aquaculture net. The optical fiber is connected to the aquaculture net, which can realize the transmission of light to the bottom layer of the aquaculture net, and can realize the guidance of sunlight at different angles, which is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of sunlight; in addition, through the setting of the guide component, the optical fiber located near the artificial fish reef can change the light intensity with the swing of the light guide component, and the flashing light is conducive to the gathering effect of fish. By providing multiple guiding components, more light can be provided to coral reefs or other plants. When water quality or weather conditions are poor, sunlight can be guided to the vicinity of artificial reefs, reducing environmental problems near artificial reefs caused by weather or environmental problems, and reducing the conditions for placing artificial reefs, thereby improving the utilization rate of resources around the coast.

[0030] Springs are provided on the back sides of the two light guide plates, and the other ends of the springs are connected to the light guide housing, which is beneficial for the alignment of the light guide assembly.

[0031] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of light guide strips are provided in parallel on opposite sides of the light guide plate. The light guide strips are parallel to the light-transmitting glass, and the parallel spacing between the plurality of light guide strips decreases on the side close to the optical fiber.

[0032] The light guide strip comprises a first inclined surface close to the optical fiber and a second inclined surface away from the optical fiber. The angle between the first inclined surface and the light guide plate is greater than the angle between the second inclined surface and the light guide plate.

[0033] Through the above design, the light guide strip can guide the light when it is irradiated. Since the parallel spacing of the light guide strip close to the optical fiber decreases, that is, the density of the light guide strip increases as it approaches the optical fiber, the probability of light entering the optical fiber can be further improved; at the same time, the design of the light guide strip can achieve light input at multiple angles so that most of the light can enter the optical fiber, which can achieve efficient light utilization, thereby ensuring the supply of light to the artificial fish reef on cloudy days or when there is no direct sunlight.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of light holes are opened on the side wall of one end of the optical fiber close to the breeding net.

[0035] The above design can increase the illumination range and improve the utilization rate of a single optical fiber. In addition, if a fiber is damaged, the damaged location can be easily checked through the light hole, which facilitates subsequent maintenance.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a diffuser is provided corresponding to the light-through hole.

[0037] By providing a diffuser in the through hole, a wider range of light irradiation can be achieved, thereby increasing the range of light provided to the artificial reef, thereby increasing the aggregation effect of fish schools and the growth of coral reefs or other plants in the artificial reef and the conversion rate of nutrients.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings:

[0056] Example 1:

[0057] like Figure 1 、 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12 show a three-dimensional monitoring device for artificial reefs, comprising a protective cover 1 and a suspension assembly 2. A plurality of suspension assemblies 2 are provided around the outer side of the lower layer of the protective cover 1. The protective cover 1 comprises an outer shell 11 and an inner shell 12 that are spaced apart. Both the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 are made of transparent material, and a plurality of sealing assemblies 13 are provided between the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12.

[0058] A breeding net 3 is provided around the bottom side of the inner shell 12 , and a monitoring device 15 is provided on the bottom side of the inner shell 12 .

[0059] Through the overall design of a three-dimensional monitoring device for artificial reefs, multiple suspension components 2 can control the overall buoyancy and sinking, and a breeding net 3 is provided around the bottom side of the inner shell 12 to protect the artificial reefs and improve the clustering effect. At the same time, a monitoring device 15 is used to detect the artificial reefs. The suspension component 2 can also cooperate with the collision caused by the surge of waves; through the multiple sealing components 13 provided between the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12, the seal can seal the space between the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 to prevent water from entering the space between the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12, providing buoyancy for the protective cover 1 and reducing the overall weight of the protective cover 1. It can reduce the inertia of the protective cover 1 and prevent it from being hit due to excessive inertia when floating up or sinking; in addition, the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 are both made of transparent materials, so that light can pass through the protective cover 1, so that light can illuminate the artificial reef, which can improve the growth of coral reefs or other plants and the conversion of nutrients, which is beneficial to the monitoring device 15 The protective cover 1 can reduce water impact, enhance the clustering effect, and centralize water flow, allowing water to flow upward along the bottom of the inner shell 12, thereby increasing the nutrient content in the water and, in turn, increasing the number and variety of fish in the artificial reef. It can also reduce or eliminate the symbiotic flora and fauna attached to the surface of the protective cover 1, thereby improving its protection. This can prevent increased surface resistance and affect the overall device's ability to withstand water impact, and increase the speed of the suspended assembly 2 in moving up and down, thereby improving emergency response. The aquaculture net 3 ensures internal and external water circulation, enabling internal and external resource exchange. It can also reduce the impact of external water flow on the net and reduce the speed at which water enters the net, thereby ensuring internal ecological stability, thereby enhancing the clustering effect and the stability of the artificial reef, making it more conducive for fish to settle there, thereby forming a positive cycle and improving the aquaculture efficiency of the marine ranch.

[0060] Among them, the suspension component 2 can work together with the protective cover 1 to ensure that the entire device floats when there is sufficient sunlight, ensuring that the protective cover 1 can refract more sunlight into its interior, thereby improving the growth and reproduction of symbiotic algae in coral reefs. When the protective cover 1 rises, the lower end of the protective cover 1 rises relatively, allowing more water to enter and flow through the artificial reef, thereby driving more nutrients from the lower layer to the upper layer, increasing the nutrients contained in the upper water body, thereby forming a good living environment, which is conducive to protecting the living environment of organisms, enhancing the clustering effect, and is beneficial to the breeding efficiency of marine ranches; in bad weather conditions, through the suspension The floating component 2 controls the sinking of the protective cover 1 to protect the artificial fish reef and prevent the water flow impact from causing irreversible damage to the artificial fish reef. The lower end of the protective cover 1 is relatively lowered, which can reduce the water with greater external impact from entering the interior, and has a better protective effect on the internal flora and fauna. At the same time, the aquaculture nets 3 are lowered to form a stack, which can further cope with the impact of the water body. At the same time, the stacking can form a greater resistance between the aquaculture nets 3 and the seabed, thereby improving the ability of the overall device to resist the impact of the water body. In addition, it can also protect the surrounding seabed sediment, prevent the sediment from being seriously lost under the impact of the water flow, and can achieve the retention of nutrients in the sediment.

[0061] The monitoring device 15 is used to detect the water quality of the artificial reef and photograph the underwater artificial reef using an underwater camera, wherein the underwater camera takes photos at a constant time interval. The detection device also includes an information exchange device floating on the water surface, which can wirelessly transmit the data detected by the monitoring device 15 to a ground base station. The base station analyzes the data to determine the water phase of the detected reef, including water quality data, underwater images, and images of various fish measured by the underwater detection device. The ground base station extracts characteristic information of the farmed and other fish species and detects and compares the photographed images. Through comparison and comparison, the number of fish in the photographed images can be counted, and the dominant fish species of the artificial reef can be determined. The dominant fish species of the artificial reef are displayed on the bottom server, and the number of dominant fish species in the artificial reef can be estimated through an algorithm.

[0062] The detection device can also monitor the turbidity, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature of the water body. If the measured data is greater than or less than the reference value range in the predefined environment, it can be judged as an abnormal situation. The standard of the predefined environmental reference value can vary according to the type of environmental data that can be generated. For example, if the seawater temperature value in the current environmental detection part becomes greater than the reference value, it is determined that an abnormal situation has occurred. As another example, if the current value of the detected seawater salinity fluctuates by more than 20% compared to the baseline value, it is determined that this artificial reef may have an abnormal situation.

[0063] Furthermore, the monitoring device 15 also detects data on radioactive cesium or heavy metal lead in the water and uploads the data to the ground base station. The ground base station compares the data in real time and issues an alarm and notification when the data value of radioactivity or heavy metal detected is greater than the reference value.

[0064] Furthermore, the protective cover 1 is tapered, which helps to reduce the impact of water, improve the stability of the water below the protective cover 1, and enhance the clustering effect.

[0065] Furthermore, a powerful flashlight can be provided on the top of the protective cover 1. The flashlight can provide a warning and prevent fishermen or other boats from approaching and damaging the protective cover 1. Furthermore, a positioning component is provided in the monitoring device 15, which can be used to locate the entire device.

[0066] The sealing assembly 13 includes at least two first buffer bases 131 spaced apart from each other. The first and last first buffer bases 131 are connected to the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 respectively. A second buffer base 132 is provided between adjacent first buffer bases 131.

[0067] The second buffer base 132 is hollow, and a plurality of buffer partitions 133 are arranged in parallel in the second buffer base 132 .

[0068] In one design of the sealing assembly 13 , an annular sealing assembly 13 may be disposed parallel and circumferentially between the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 .

[0069] The above design prevents water from invading between the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12, and can achieve a more stable and efficient sealing effect. Furthermore, the first buffer base 131 is made of a hard material, the second buffer base 132 is made of a rubber material, and the buffer partition 133 is also made of a rubber material. When water impacts the outer shell 11, the impact force of the water is transmitted to the sealing assembly 13. The first buffer matrix 131 is mainly used to fix the position of the sealing assembly 13 and the stability of the second buffer matrix 132. Since the second buffer matrix 132 is hollow and multiple buffer baffles 133 are arranged in parallel in the second buffer matrix 132, the second buffer matrix 132 and the buffer baffles 133 will absorb the impact force through deformation. If an annular sealing assembly 13 is used, the gas in the second buffer matrix 132 can flow freely, that is, it can flow in an annular shape within the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 through the annular sealing assembly 13. After the impact, the flow can improve the absorption of the impact and prevent the second buffer matrix 132 from rupturing after a large impact force. At this time, the pressure of the inner shell 12 and the outer shell 11 can be evenly distributed, thereby effectively preventing the sealing assembly 13 from being damaged due to excessive pressure. In actual application, by reasonably selecting the number and distribution of buffer baffles 133, better sealing and buffering effects can be achieved.

[0070] In addition, through the setting of the sealing component 13, multiple first buffer bases 131 can also provide a limiting effect, that is, when the water impact is large, the second buffer base 132 is flattened under the action of the impact force. At this time, the first buffer base 131 will achieve limiting, that is, the space between the shell and the inner shell 12 is maintained, preventing the guide component 6 between the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 from being damaged due to excessive impact, and can also avoid collision between the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12.

[0071] Furthermore, a stretch plate is provided on the side of the sealing assembly 13, connecting one side of each of the first buffer matrix 131 and the second buffer matrix 132. The provision of the stretch plate can further improve the shock absorption capacity of the two buffer matrices and improve the sealing performance of the sealing assembly 13.

[0072] The suspension assembly 2 includes a suspension base 21, in which at least one air supply device 22 is provided, a venting port 23 is provided at the top of the suspension base 21, a control rod 24 is provided in the suspension base 21, a sealing member 25 is provided at one end of the control rod 24, and the sealing member 25 is provided corresponding to the venting port 23. A control device 26 is provided in the suspension base 21, and the control device 26 is used to adjust the axial movement of the control rod 24 to change the matching state between the sealing member 25 and the venting port 23;

[0073] A water filter port 27 is provided on the bottom side of the suspension base 21 , and a plurality of flow guide components 4 are provided around the suspension base 21 .

[0074] Through the above design, the entire device can float up and sink down through the suspension component 2, so the suspension component 2 has a floating state and a sinking state. When in the floating state, the control device 26 will adjust the control rod 24 to move axially toward the air vent 23, thereby realizing that the air vent 23 is sealed by the sealing member 25. At this time, the air-supplying device 22 will release air into the suspension base 21, thereby realizing that the upper layer of the suspension base 21 is filled with gas. When the amount of gas is sufficient, the air-supplying device 22 will stop releasing air, and the water repelled by the gas in the suspension component 2 can be discharged through the water filter port 27. At this time, the buoyancy generated by the multiple suspension components 2 will be greater than the gravity exerted on the entire device in the water, thereby realizing the floating movement of the entire device; when in the sinking state, the control device 26 will adjust the control rod 24 to move axially away from the air vent 23, thereby realizing that the air vent 23 is opened, and the air-supplying device 22 is in a closed state. The gas in the suspension component 2 will be discharged through the air vent 23. At the same time as the gas is discharged, the water will enter the suspension base 21 through the water filter port 27. At this time, the suspension component 2 will no longer provide buoyancy, and the entire device will sink and move immediately. Through the above process, it is possible to quickly switch between floating and sinking states. At the same time, the switching is simple and efficient, and the usage time is longer than other suspension devices.

[0075] The flow guide component 4 is used to guide the water flowing around the suspension base 21 when the suspension base 21 is in the floating state and the sinking state, thereby improving the stability of the suspension component 2 in the floating and sinking states.

[0076] Furthermore, control device 26 includes a waterproof motor, the output of which is connected to a control gear set. The adjustment lever is provided with spur teeth that mesh with the corresponding control gear set. This configuration of the control assembly improves the stability and accuracy of control device 26 while also reducing its power consumption, thus facilitating energy conservation and extended use.

[0077] Furthermore, a high-frequency sonar is provided at the bottom of the suspension base 21. By means of the high-frequency sonar, the vertical distance to the bottom of the water can be measured to prevent damage to the entire device caused by touching the bottom during descent.

[0078] The flow guide assembly 4 includes a first tube body 41, a second tube body 42 extending from the middle of the first tube body 41 to both sides, and the first tube body 41 and the second tube body 42 are connected;

[0079] A first rotating shaft 43 is vertically provided at the connection between the first tube body 41 and the second tube body 42 , and the other end of the rotating shaft is connected to the suspension base 21 .

[0080] Through the above design, the first tube body 41 and the second tube body 42 can be rotated relative to the suspension base 21 through the first rotating shaft 43. When the suspension base 21 floats on the water surface or is in a stable state, the impact of the lateral water body will preferentially pass through the first tube body 41 and the second tube body 42. The first tube body 41 and the second tube body 42 will allow the water to flow through and reduce the impact force of the water body. In addition, when the first tube body 41 and the second tube body 42 are impacted by the lateral water body, the first rotating shaft 43 will drive the guide assembly 4 to rotate as a whole, which can further eliminate the impact of the lateral water body. force, thereby eliminating the impact of waves and water bodies; in addition, when the suspension component 2 is in a floating state or a sinking state, due to inertia and the action of water flow, the first tube body 41 can move in a vertical state, playing a role in guiding the water flow, improving the stability of the suspension component 2 when moving up and down, and the water body can also be discharged from the second tube body 42 in two directions, expanding the number and range of water columns formed around the suspension component 2 during the up and down movement, which helps to clear the attachments on the side wall of the suspension component 2, reduce resistance and thus increase the speed when floating and sinking.

[0081] A second rotating shaft 44 is provided in each of the first tube body 41 and the second tube body 42 . The second rotating shaft 44 is perpendicular to the axis of the corresponding tube body and has at least one rotating piece 45 provided on the rotating shaft.

[0082] Through the above design, when the suspension component 2 floats up or sinks, the water will flow through the first tube body 41 and the second tube body 42. At this time, the rotating piece 45 in the first tube body 41 and the second tube body 42 will rotate around the second rotating shaft 44 with the flow of water. In this process, some noise will be generated to prevent organisms from approaching and causing diversion failure or unstable floating and sinking.

[0083] A plurality of guide assemblies 6 are provided between the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12. The guide assemblies 6 include a guide shell 61. A guide bracket 62 is provided within the guide shell 61. The guide bracket 62 is rotatably connected to a light guide plate 63 arranged obliquely and symmetrically. Translucent glass 64 is fixed to the open sides of the two obliquely and symmetrically arranged light guide plates 63. A slit is provided on the other side of the two obliquely and symmetrically arranged light guide plates 63. The end of at least one optical fiber 65 is accommodated in the slit. The optical fiber 65 extends to the lower layer of the aquaculture net 3 and is connected to the aquaculture net 3.

[0084] Springs 66 are provided on opposite sides of the two light guide plates 63 . The other end of the spring 66 is connected to the guide housing 61 . The guide housing 61 is made of a transparent material.

[0085] Among them, the two tilted and symmetrically arranged light guide plates 63 are rotatable. In the absence of wind and waves, the two tilted and symmetrically arranged light guide plates 63 will remain vertical due to the action of gravity. When vibration occurs, the protective cover 1 will swing with the water flow, thereby causing the light guide plates 63 to swing. The protective cover 1 will produce regular swings under the impact of the water body, thereby causing the light guide plates 63 in the guide component 6 to swing periodically, thereby guiding sunlight at different angles, and guiding the sunlight to the end of the optical fiber 65 in the gap, and the optical fiber 65 extends to the lower layer of the aquaculture net 3. The optical fiber 65 is connected to the aquaculture net 3, which can realize the transmission of light to the bottom layer of the aquaculture net 3, and can realize the guidance of sunlight at different angles, which is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of sunlight; in addition, through the setting of the guide component 6, the optical fiber 65 located near the artificial fish reef can change the light intensity with the swing of the light guide component, and the flashing light is conducive to the gathering effect of the fish school. By providing a plurality of guide components 6, more light can be provided to the coral reefs or other plants. When the water quality or weather conditions are bad, the sunlight can be guided to the vicinity of the artificial reefs, thereby reducing the problems of the environment near the artificial reefs caused by weather or environmental problems, and reducing the conditions for placing artificial reefs, thereby improving the utilization rate of resources around the coast.

[0086] Springs 66 are provided on opposite sides of the two light guide plates 63 , and the other ends of the springs 66 are connected to the guide housing 61 , which is beneficial for aligning the light guide assembly.

[0087] Furthermore, a guide base is provided at the bottom of the guide housing 61, and a heat dissipation component is provided around the guide base. This can dissipate heat within the guide assembly 6 while the guide assembly 6 is guiding the light, preventing excessive temperature within the guide assembly 6 from causing malfunction of some components or other problems, thereby improving the stability and lifespan of the entire device.

[0088] Example 2:

[0089] like Figure 9 、 10 As shown, a three-dimensional monitoring device for artificial reefs according to another embodiment of the present invention differs from Example 1 in that a plurality of light guide strips 631 are provided in parallel on opposite sides of the light guide plate 63. The light guide strips 631 are parallel to the light-transmitting glass 64, and the parallel spacing between the plurality of light guide strips 631 is reduced on the side close to the optical fiber 65.

[0090] The light guide bar 631 includes a first inclined surface close to the optical fiber 65 and a second inclined surface away from the optical fiber 65 . The angle between the first inclined surface and the light guide plate 63 is greater than the angle between the second inclined surface and the light guide plate 63 .

[0091] Through the above design, the light guide strip 631 can guide the light when light is irradiated. Since the parallel spacing of the light guide strip 631 on the side close to the optical fiber 65 is reduced, that is, the density of the light guide strip 631 increases as it approaches the optical fiber 65, the probability of light entering the optical fiber 65 can be further improved; at the same time, the design of the light guide strip 631 can achieve light input at multiple angles so that most of the light can enter the optical fiber 65, which can achieve efficient light utilization, thereby ensuring the supply of light to the artificial fish reef on cloudy days or when there is no direct sunlight.

[0092] Example 3:

[0093] like Figure 13 、 14 As shown, a three-dimensional monitoring device for artificial reefs according to another embodiment of the present invention is different from Example 2 in that a plurality of light holes 651 are opened on the side wall of one end of the optical fiber 65 close to the aquaculture net 3.

[0094] Through the above design, it is possible to increase the illumination range and improve the utilization rate of a single optical fiber 65. In addition, if the optical fiber 65 is damaged somewhere, the damaged location can be easily checked through the light hole 651, which is convenient for later maintenance.

[0095] A light diffuser 652 is provided corresponding to the light hole 651 .

[0096] By providing a diffuser 652 in the through hole, a wider range of light irradiation can be achieved, thereby increasing the range of light provided to the artificial reef, thereby increasing the aggregation effect of fish schools and the growth of coral reefs or other plants in the artificial reef and the conversion rate of nutrients.

[0097] Furthermore, the diffuser 652 can have various shapes, including but not limited to Figure 15 、 16 shown.

[0098] The embodiments described above provide a detailed description of the technical solutions of the present invention. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, supplements or similar substitutions made within the scope of the principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
