[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figure 1 A marine biodiversity conservation device based on an underwater acoustic monitoring system includes: a float 1 (the float 1 is the same as the float of a marine buoy, and the fixing method of the float 1 is also the same as that of a marine buoy, which will not be described in detail here), a mounting component 2 (such as a rod) is provided at the bottom of the float 1, a sound wave generator 3 and a sonar locator 4 are provided on the mounting component 2, and a controller 21 (such as a computer) is provided on the float 1. The controller 21 is used to receive information from the sound wave generator 3 and the sonar locator 4, and can also control the operation of the sound wave generator 3 and the sonar locator 4.

[0024] It should be noted that the float 1 is equipped with photovoltaic power generation components, which are used to power the electrical equipment on the marine biodiversity conservation device.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the float 1 is equipped with a rotating mounting ring 5. The float 1 is equipped with a drive assembly for driving the mounting ring 5 to rotate on the top of the float 1. Several connecting rods 6 are provided on the outer side wall of the mounting ring 5. The connecting rods 6 are arranged in a ring on the outer side wall of the mounting ring 5. The end of the connecting rod 6 away from the mounting ring 5 is provided with a slot 10. The mounting ring 5 is equipped with a storage tank 7. The inside of the storage tank 7 is filled with feed (the feed is used to feed the fish to be protected). The storage tank 7 is equipped with a delivery pump 9. The outlet of the delivery pump 9 is equipped with a pipe. The end of the pipe away from the delivery pump 9 is connected to the slot 10. The delivery pump 9 and the drive assembly are both controlled by the controller 21 to open and close.

[0026] Working principle: The sonar locator 4 is used to acquire fish signals around the float 1 and transmits the acquired signals to the controller 21 for analysis and identification of fish species. When it is necessary to feed the protected fish population (the protected fish population refers to the fish population selected by the staff, and the feeding period is also set so that the marine biodiversity conservation device can feed the protected fish population regularly), the controller 21 controls the sound wave generator 3 to emit induction sound waves to attract the protected fish population to the vicinity of the float 1. Then, the controller 21 controls the delivery pump 9 to work, continuously introducing the feed from the storage tank 7 into the opening 10. At the same time, the controller 21 controls the drive unit. The device operates by rotating the mounting ring 5 along with the connecting rod 6 (the rotation of the mounting ring 5 and the connecting rod 6 causes the connecting rod 6 to be subjected to centrifugal force), throwing the feed inside the slot 10 out and causing the feed to fall into the sea in an area away from the float 1, feeding the fish to be protected, increasing the storage capacity of the fish to be protected, and improving the diversity of marine life; and because the sonar locator 4 continuously acquires fish signals around the float 1, the controller 21 knows what fish are around the float 1; when the natural enemy fish of the fish to be protected are detected, the controller 21 will control the sound wave generator 3 to emit sound waves to drive away the natural enemy fish of the fish to be protected, thus protecting the fish to be protected.

[0027] It should be noted that the feed is thrown away from the area of ​​float 1 before falling into the sea, so that there is a certain distance between the fish and float 1 when feeding; and the fish to be protected can be selected according to their needs.

[0028] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3The drive assembly includes a drive motor 12 and a gear 13 mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 12. The drive motor 12 is mounted on the float 1. A gear ring is provided on the inner side wall of the mounting ring 5. The gear ring meshes with the gear 13. The drive motor 12 is controlled to start and stop by the controller 21. When the controller 21 controls the drive assembly to work, that is, when the controller 21 directly controls the drive motor 12 to work, the gear 13 rotates. Since the gear 13 meshes with the gear ring, the mounting ring 5 will rotate.

[0029] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 2 The diameter of the slot 10 gradually decreases from the inside to the outside (the direction from the inside to the outside refers to the direction away from the mounting ring 5); the diameter of the outlet end of the slot 10 is reduced, so that the feed inside the slot 10 is squeezed at the outlet end of the slot 10, so that the feed is concentrated and thrown out of the slot 10, so that the feed is a certain distance away from the float 1 after being thrown out, thereby reducing the probability of the fed fish coming into contact with the float 1 and protecting the marine biodiversity protection device.

[0030] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The connection between the mounting ring 5 and the connecting rod 6 is provided with mounting holes (there are several mounting holes, and each mounting hole corresponds to one of the connecting rods 6). A push rod 14 is slidably installed in the mounting hole. An annular groove 15 is provided on the side wall of the float 1. Several protrusions 16 are provided in the annular groove 15, and the protrusions 16 are distributed in a ring in the inner cavity of the annular groove 15. One end of the push rod 14 extends into the inner cavity of the annular groove 15, and the other end of the push rod 14 extends into the slot 10. The push rod 14 is connected to the push block 11 in the inner cavity of the slot 10. The push block 11 can slide in the inner cavity of the slot 10. During the rotation of the mounting ring 5, one end of the push rod 14 rotates in the inner cavity of the annular groove 15 (the push rod 14 rotates around the center of the annular groove 15) and will intermittently contact the protrusion 16 to push the push rod 14 intermittently into the slot 10 (after the push rod 14 contacts the protrusion 16, the push rod 14 moves into the inner cavity of the slot 10, according to...). Figure 3 (As shown, push rod 14 moves left and right); during the back-and-forth movement of push rod 14, it will intermittently move push block 11 away from mounting ring 5, which is used to push the feed inside slot 10 toward the outlet end of slot 10, to assist the feed to be discharged from slot 10, and at the same time to make the feed quickly concentrate inside slot 10, so that the feed is a certain distance away from float 1 after being thrown out, and the probability of the fed fish coming into contact with float 1 is reduced again.

[0031] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 4The push rod 14 includes a movable rod 141 slidably disposed within a mounting hole. An elastic element 145 (a spring, used to return the movable rod 141 to its original position after movement) is provided between the movable rod 141 and the mounting hole. An electromagnet 142 is slidably disposed within the mounting hole, located inside the movable rod 141. A magnetic block is provided on the side of the movable rod 141 facing the electromagnet 142, with the magnetic poles of the magnetic block and the electromagnet 142 having the same polarity (resisting force). A movable block 143 is provided on the inner end of the electromagnet 142, located within the cavity of the annular groove 15. A conductive plate 144 is provided on the electromagnet 142, and a conductive plate 144 is also provided within the mounting hole. One conductive plate 144 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 142, and the other conductive plate 144 is electrically connected to... Electrical connection to the power supply; during the rotation of the mounting ring 5, the moving block 143 will intermittently contact the protrusion 16, causing the moving block 143 to move outward of the annular groove 15, pushing the electromagnet 142 and the moving rod 141 to move towards the slot 10. During this process, the two conductive plates 144 will contact, causing the electromagnet 142 to be energized and generate magnetic force to repel the magnetic block, causing the moving rod 141 to move away from the electromagnet 142, increasing the range of movement of the moving rod 141 into the slot 10, thereby increasing the range of movement of the push block 11 and increasing the effect of the push block 11 on the concentration of feed; when the moving block 143 passes the protrusion 16 (i.e., when the moving block 143 is not in contact with the protrusion 16), the force exerted on the moving block 143 by the protrusion 16 disappears, and the elastic element 145 returns to its original position with the moving rod 141.

[0032] It should be noted that a return spring is installed between the electromagnet 142 and the mounting hole; after the force exerted by the protrusion 16 on the moving block 143 disappears, the return spring carries the electromagnet 142 back to its original position, so that the two conductive plates 144 do not contact each other, and the electromagnet 142 is de-energized, thereby relieving the repulsive force on the moving rod 141, so that the moving rod 141 can be reset under the action of the elastic element 145.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] As a further optimization of Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The outer wall of the float 1 is provided with a mounting groove 18. There are several mounting grooves 18, which are arranged in a ring around the float 1. A guide rod 17 is slidably installed in the mounting groove 18. An airbag 19 is installed in the mounting groove 18 and is located inside the guide rod 17. A baffle 8 is provided on the end of the guide rod 17 away from the float 1. When a fish is about to hit the float 1, the fish will first collide with the baffle 8, causing the guide rod 17 to move into the interior of the mounting groove 18 and compress the airbag 19. Due to the buffering effect of the airbag 19, the impact force on the float 1 can be reduced.

[0035] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 6 A pressure sensor 20 is provided on one end of the guide rod 17 near the float 1. The pressure sensor 20 is in contact with the airbag 19 and is used to transmit information to the controller 21. When a fish hits the baffle 8, causing the guide rod 17 to squeeze the airbag 19, the pressure sensor 20 is subjected to increased pressure. Since the pressure sensor 20 will continuously transmit information to the controller 21, the controller 21 will detect the increased pressure on the pressure sensor 20. Then, the controller 21 controls the sound wave generator 3 to emit sound waves to drive away the fish that are colliding with the float 1 and protect the marine biodiversity conservation device.

[0036] In this embodiment, as a further optimization, please refer to... Figure 1 An opening 81 is provided on the baffle 8 so that water can pass through the opening 81 and pass through the baffle 8, thereby preventing the guide rod 17 from moving due to water waves hitting the baffle 8 and preventing the controller 21 from being triggered falsely.
