Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of strobe lights, specifically a deep-sea seabed search strobe light device and its working method. Background Technology

[0002] Lighting is widely used on marine vessels, buoys, and other maritime equipment, primarily serving a warning function to facilitate observation by other ships or personnel. However, locating underwater equipment remains an unsolved problem, especially in the dark conditions of deep seas (>200m). Existing strobe lights are mainly effective for surface searching; once submerged, the flashing stops, failing to meet the requirements for locating underwater equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the fact that existing strobe lights cannot meet the requirements of underwater search, the purpose of this invention is to provide a deep-sea seabed search strobe light device and its working method.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] This invention relates to a deep-sea seabed search strobe light device mounted on underwater equipment for use both above and below sea level. It comprises a housing consisting of an upper cover, a glass ring, a stainless steel groove, a battery container, and a lower cover connected in sequence. Within the housing are a light source detection component, a detection control board, a Hall effect sensor, a battery pack, and a timer. The glass ring contains a lamp bead fixing component and a reflector mounted on the upper cover. The lamp bead fixing component is located below the reflector and has lamp beads mounted on it. The light source detection component includes a photosensitive element and a light board. The upper end of the light board is embedded in the lamp bead fixing component, and the lower end of the light board passes through the stainless steel groove and connects with the battery pack located in the battery container. The circuit board is fixed together with the light sensor, which is mounted on the light board. The light board is connected to the upper cover via electrode wires. The detection control board and the battery pack are both placed in the battery container compartment. The upper end of the detection control board is connected to the circuit board fixing component, and the lower end of the detection control board is connected to the positive electrode connection part. The detection control board is equipped with a Hall effect device and a timer. The positive electrode of the battery pack is connected to the positive electrode connection part, and the negative electrode is connected to the negative electrode connection part. The lower cover is equipped with a negative electrode fixing block, and a negative electrode conductive block is installed on the negative electrode fixing block. The upper end of the negative electrode conductive block is connected to the negative electrode connection part, and the lower end of the negative electrode conductive block is equipped with a negative electrode fixing pin that is inserted into the lower cover.

[0006] Wherein: the bottom surface of the upper cover is provided with an upper cover fixing pin, the glass ring is provided with a glass fixing block, the upper end of the glass fixing block is inserted into the upper cover fixing pin, the reflector is connected to the lower end of the glass fixing block, one end of the electrode wire is connected to the upper cover fixing pin, and the other end of the electrode wire passes through the glass fixing block and is connected to the light board.

[0007] The top surface of the upper cover is a smooth curved surface, and the upper cover fixing pin is connected to the bottom surface of the upper cover or is an integral structure with the upper cover.

[0008] The glass ring cover has a through hole in the middle. The upper end of the glass ring cover is an arc surface and the lower end is a cylinder. The upper end of the glass ring cover is bonded and fixed to the upper end cover. The lower end of the glass ring cover is inserted into the groove of the stainless steel groove and bonded and fixed to the stainless steel groove. The stainless steel groove is threaded to the upper end of the battery container compartment. The lower end of the battery container compartment is bonded and fixed to the lower end cover.

[0009] The reflector has an arc-shaped structure.

[0010] The operating method of the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0011] Step 1: On the shore, a magnet is used to approach the position of the Hall element to stop the deep-sea search strobe light device.

[0012] Step 2: Attach the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device to the launching equipment. Place the upper cover, glass ring cover and stainless steel trough at the highest end of the launching equipment. Before launching, remove the magnet and the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device will start working.

[0013] Step 3: After the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device and the launching equipment are submerged in the water, the submersion test is completed. The light source detection component works to judge the external light effect. When the brightness is higher than the threshold, it enters the waiting mode; when the brightness decreases, it enters the countdown working mode.

[0014] Step four: The countdown of the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device ends, and it emits a strobe effect to facilitate the search;

[0015] Step 5: After the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device is brought out of the water, an out-of-water test is performed, and the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device enters a waiting mode.

[0016] Step six: After the deep-sea search strobe light device is retrieved, a magnet is used to approach the location of the Hall element to stop the deep-sea search strobe light device from working.

[0017] In step one, when an external magnet approaches the Hall element, the Hall element closes, the detection and control board detects the signal, and identifies it as powered off; when the external magnet moves away from the Hall element, the Hall element is normally open, the detection and control board detects the signal, and identifies it as powered on.

[0018] The upper cover, electrode wires, and detection control board are designed to enable water entry detection. When the upper cover enters the water, the voltage detection unit of the upper cover linkage detection control board becomes conductive, thus enabling water entry detection. The deep-sea seabed search strobe light device then enters a countdown mode.

[0019] In step three, when the countdown mode is activated, the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device enters a low-power operating state.

[0020] The advantages and positive effects of this invention are as follows:

[0021] 1. The present invention has a small and compact structure, strong corrosion resistance, and can be widely used in the search of ocean equipment.

[0022] 2. This invention meets the needs of underwater equipment location in deep sea and can be used for equipment location.

[0023] 3. This invention has low power consumption, long working time, and is easy to use. It is suitable for ROVs and other submersibles, divers to find valuable underwater equipment, underwater navigation lights, and underwater lighting indicators for drilling platforms.

The light board 10 is connected to the upper cover 1 through the electrode wire 5. The detection control board 13 and the battery pack 17 are both placed in the battery container compartment 15. The upper end of the detection control board 13 is connected to the circuit board fixing component 12, and the lower end of the detection control board 13 is connected to the positive electrode connection part 16. The detection control board 13 is provided with a Hall element 14 and a timer 24. The positive electrode of the battery pack 17 is connected to the positive electrode connection part 16, and the negative electrode is connected to the negative electrode connection part 18. The lower cover 22 is provided with a negative electrode fixing block 20. A negative electrode conductive block 19 is installed on the negative electrode fixing block 20. The upper end of the negative electrode conductive block 19 is connected to the negative electrode connection part 18, and the lower end of the negative electrode conductive block 19 is provided with a negative electrode fixing pin 21 that is inserted into the lower cover 22.

[0032] In this embodiment, the glass ring cover 7 has a through hole in the middle. The upper end of the glass ring cover 7 is an arc surface and the lower end is a cylinder, which facilitates the plane of light and upward illumination. The stainless steel groove 11 in this embodiment is cylindrical. The upper end has a slot along the axial direction and the lower end has a connecting groove along the axial direction. The groove wall of the connecting groove is threaded. A through hole for the light panel 10 to pass through is opened along the axial direction between the slot and the connecting groove. The upper end of the glass ring cover 7 is glued and fixed to the upper end cover 1. The lower end of the glass ring cover 7 is inserted into the slot of the stainless steel groove 11 and glued and fixed to the slot at the upper end of the stainless steel groove 11. The connecting groove at the lower end of the stainless steel groove 11 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the battery container compartment 15. The lower end of the battery container compartment 15 is glued and fixed to the lower end cover 22.

[0033] In this embodiment, the top surface of the upper cover 1 is a smooth curved surface. The upper cover fixing pin 2 is connected to the bottom surface of the upper cover 1 or is an integral structure with the upper cover 1. In this embodiment, the upper cover fixing pin 2 is an integral structure with the upper cover 1. The upper cover fixing pin 2 is inserted into the glass ring cover 7 through the through hole and is inserted into the upper end of the glass fixing block 3 provided inside the glass ring cover 7. The reflector 4 is bonded and fixed to the lower end of the glass fixing block 3. One end of the electrode wire 5 is connected to the upper cover fixing pin 2, and the other end of the electrode wire 5 passes through the side of the glass fixing block 3 and is connected to the light panel 10.

[0034] The reflector 4 in this embodiment has an arc-shaped structure, which facilitates the reflection of light in all directions and allows light to shine in a plane and upward.

[0035] In this embodiment, the negative electrode fixing block 20 and the lower end cover 22 are integrally machined parts.

[0036] In this embodiment, the combination of photosensitive element 9 and light board 10 facilitates the detection of light source brightness and the distinction between day and night.

[0037] In this embodiment, the photosensitive element 9, Hall effect element 14, and timer 24 are all existing technologies. The photosensitive element 9 is a general-purpose light intensity module, and the Hall effect element 14 is the main component for electromagnetic induction. The photosensitive element 9 converts light into digital information and transmits it to the detection control board 13 for light-sensing control; the Hall effect element 14 converts magnetic field into a switching signal and transmits it to the detection control board 13 for start-up control. The detection control board 13 is equipped with basic components such as a microcontroller, a power converter, and a clock chip. The battery pack 17 provides power to the detection control board 13, and the detection control board 13 controls the flickering of the LED beads 6 through functional control.

[0038] The operating method of the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0039] Step 1: On the shore, a magnet is used to approach the Hall element 14 to stop the deep-sea search strobe light device from working.

[0040] Step 2: Attach the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device to the launching equipment. Place the upper cover 1, glass ring cover 7 and stainless steel trough 11 at the highest end of the launching equipment. Before launching, remove the magnet and the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device will start working.

[0041] Step 3: After the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device and the underwater equipment are submerged, the submersion test is completed, the light source detection component 23 works to judge the external light effect, and when the brightness is higher than the threshold, it enters the waiting mode; when the brightness decreases, it enters the countdown working mode.

[0042] Step four: The countdown of the deep-sea search strobe light device ends, and it emits a strobe effect to facilitate the search;

[0043] Step 5: After the deep-sea search strobe light device is brought out of the water, it undergoes an exploratory test and then enters a standby mode.

[0044] Step six: After the deep-sea search strobe light device is retrieved, use a magnet to approach the position of the Hall element 14 to stop the deep-sea search strobe light device from working.

[0045] When an external magnet approaches Hall element 14, Hall element 14 closes, and the detection control board 13 detects the signal and identifies it as power off; when the external magnet moves away from Hall element 14, Hall element 14 remains open, and the detection control board 13 detects the signal and identifies it as power on.

[0046] The upper cover 1, electrode wires 5, and detection control board 13 are designed to enable water immersion detection. When the upper cover 1 is submerged in water, the voltage detection unit of the upper cover 1, linked to the detection control board 13, becomes conductive, thus enabling water immersion detection. The deep-sea seabed search strobe light device then enters a countdown mode. During the countdown mode, the deep-sea seabed search strobe light device enters a low-power operating state.

[0047] This invention utilizes LED lights to achieve an adjustable frequency strobe effect. The strobe light is mounted on underwater equipment. Once the equipment sinks to the bottom, a countdown function is used to create an adjustable frequency strobe effect with the LED lights, facilitating underwater equipment search. This invention features low power consumption, long operating time, and ease of use, making it suitable for ROVs and other submersibles, divers searching for valuable underwater equipment, underwater navigation lights, and underwater lighting indicators for drilling platforms.
