Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of marine fisheries technology, specifically a GPS-based device for the precise deployment of artificial reefs. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial reefs are man-made structures placed in the sea to improve the marine ecological environment, create a good habitat for marine life, and provide places for fish and other marine organisms to reproduce, grow, forage, and shelter from predators, thereby achieving the goals of protection, propagation, and increased fish catch.

[0003] The deployment of artificial reefs aims to promote marine biodiversity and fishery resource aggregation by providing habitats, food sources, and shelter. Current artificial reef deployment processes primarily rely on vessels, lifting equipment, and GPS positioning instruments. During deployment, vessels transport the lifting equipment and artificial reef to the predetermined deployment location, with GPS positioning instruments precisely determining the deployment point. Subsequently, the lifting equipment lifts the artificial reef from the vessel and drops it directly into the sea. After deployment, the vessel's course and speed are adjusted to attempt to control the reef's descent trajectory.

[0004] However, the complexity of the marine environment poses a challenge to the deployment accuracy of artificial reefs. Tides, ocean currents, wind, and waves all affect the deployment of artificial reefs, influencing not only their sinking trajectory but also causing deviations in their deployment location. Therefore, relying solely on changing the ship's course and speed to adjust the sinking trajectory of artificial reefs is often limited in effectiveness and cannot meet the requirements for high-precision deployment.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a GPS-based precision artificial reef deployment device that can cope with complex marine environments and precisely adjust the deployment trajectory and attitude of artificial reefs to improve deployment accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a GPS-based artificial reef precision deployment device that can perform real-time correction of the artificial reef's sinking trajectory during the sinking process, preventing the artificial reef from deviating from the set deployment position, thereby improving the deployment accuracy of the artificial reef.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A GPS-based precision deployment device for artificial reefs includes a hull; the hull is equipped with a grasping component, a deployment component, an energy storage component, and a correction component; the grasping component is used for fixing and releasing the artificial reef; the deployment component includes a lifting mechanism and a lifting structure; the lifting mechanism is used for moving the artificial reef; the lifting mechanism includes a drive box; the drive box is equipped with a power component, a second spool, and a screw groove, the power component is used to drive the second spool to rotate; a cable is installed on the second spool, the cable is used to pull the grasping component; a screw rod is rotatably connected in the screw groove, the screw rod is coaxially and fixedly connected to the second spool; the screw groove is also equipped with an air inlet and an air outlet; the air outlet is connected to the energy storage component, the energy storage component is used to store and release gas; the correction component is used to release the gas stored in the energy storage component into the water, and use the reaction force generated by the gas to adjust the position of the grasping component;

[0009] It also includes a positioning module and a control module; the positioning module is used to obtain the underwater position of the artificial reef and the preset deployment position information; the control module is used to control the operation of the energy storage component and the correction component based on the information from the positioning module until the position of the artificial reef is consistent with the preset deployment position.

[0010] The above approach has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. This solution uses a grasping component to fix the artificial reef, and a deployment component to drop the artificial reef and grasping component together to the target deployment point. The artificial reef sinks naturally, causing a cable to be released from a second spool. The rotation of the second spool drives a screw rod, which draws in outside air through the air inlet into the screw groove. The compressed air is then delivered to the energy storage component for temporary storage through the air outlet. When the artificial reef deviates from its designated position due to ocean currents or other marine factors during sinking, the positioning module can obtain the reef's location in real time. Based on the positioning module's information, the control module determines the reef's deviation and then controls the energy storage component to release gas. The correction component releases the gas from the energy storage component on the side of the grasping component furthest from the preset deployment position, thereby pushing the artificial reef back to the preset deployment position, ensuring the deployment accuracy of the artificial reef.

[0012] Compared to existing technologies, this solution cleverly utilizes the gravitational potential energy generated during the natural sinking of the artificial reef. This energy is converted into air compression potential energy and stored in an energy storage component through the rotation of a screw. When the artificial reef's position needs to be adjusted, this stored energy is released and converted into the kinetic energy required to correct its position. This energy conversion and storage method maximizes energy utilization throughout the deployment process.

[0013] 2. Compared to existing technologies, this solution uses a positioning module to obtain the real-time underwater position of the artificial reef and compares it with the preset deployment location. When a deviation is detected, the control module can respond quickly and control the energy storage component to release stored gas. The correction component uses the reaction force generated by this released gas to fine-tune the position of the artificial reef, ensuring that the artificial reef can be accurately deployed to the preset deployment location, thereby greatly improving the deployment accuracy.

[0014] 3. This solution, through its correction component, can automatically determine whether the artificial reef has deviated from its preset position based on information provided by the positioning module, and take corresponding corrective measures. This adaptive capability enables the device to maintain high deployment accuracy in complex and ever-changing marine environments, improving the stability and reliability of deployment operations.

[0015] 4. This solution primarily utilizes the gravitational potential energy of the artificial reef and the potential energy of compressed air during the entire deployment process, requiring no additional energy consumption. Furthermore, the released gases are non-toxic and harmless, causing no environmental pollution. Therefore, this solution has significant advantages in terms of environmental protection and energy conservation.

[0016] Furthermore, the grasping component includes an inverted "concave" plate, the top of which is fixedly connected to a cable; a movable groove is provided inside the "concave" plate, and inverted "L" shaped plates are provided at both ends of the movable groove, with the "L" shaped plates slidingly engaging with the movable groove; a driving mechanism is provided inside the movable groove, which is used to drive the "L" shaped plates to grasp and release the artificial reef.

[0017] Beneficial effects: The "L"-shaped plates on both sides are moved inward by the driving mechanism, thereby fixing the artificial reef. The "L"-shaped plates are then moved outward to release the artificial reef, thus completing the fixing and release of the artificial reef.

[0018] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes at least one second spring disposed in the movable slot, with both ends of the second spring fixedly connected to the "L"-shaped plate; a drive pipe is connected in the movable slot, and a first air pump is connected in the drive pipe, with the first air pump electrically connected to the control module.

[0019] Beneficial effects: The first air pump draws air out of the movable slot, creating negative pressure inside the slot, which causes the "L"-shaped plates on both sides to move inward and tighten. When the first air pump stops drawing negative pressure, the movable slot returns to normal air pressure, and at the same time, the second spring pushes the "L"-shaped plates outward, thus smoothly releasing the artificial reef to the preset deployment position.

[0020] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes, but is not limited to, a crane.

[0021] Furthermore, the power assembly includes a drive motor; the output shaft of the drive motor is axially fixedly connected to the second spool, and a clutch is provided between the drive motor and the second spool; both the drive motor and the clutch are electrically connected to the control module.

[0022] Beneficial effects: When the artificial reef is deployed and the grabbing component needs to be retrieved from underwater, the control module controls the clutch and drive motor to work, so that the output shaft of the drive motor is axially connected to the second spool. The output shaft of the drive motor drives the second spool to rotate, thereby retracting the cable and bringing the grabbing component back from underwater to the hull.

[0023] Furthermore, the energy storage component includes a pressure storage tank; a first air chamber is provided inside the pressure storage tank, a first spring and a piston are provided at the bottom of the first air chamber, and the piston slides in cooperation with the first air chamber; an air inlet is provided on one side of the top of the first air chamber, the air inlet is connected to a first air pipe, and the first air pipe is connected to an air outlet.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The gas discharged from the outlet through the first air tube is directed to the first air chamber. As the gas accumulates in the first air chamber, the piston moves downward and squeezes the first spring, thereby converting the gravitational potential energy of the sinking artificial reef into the potential energy of air compression for storage.

[0025] Furthermore, a one-way valve is installed inside the first trachea.

[0026] Beneficial effects: By installing a one-way valve in the first air tube, it is possible to prevent the backflow of gas in the first air chamber when the screw stops supplying air, thus avoiding the loss of energy stored in the energy storage component.

[0027] Furthermore, the correction component includes a second air chamber disposed within the concave plate; the second air chamber is connected to a second air pipe, which is connected to the first air chamber; at least one exhaust port is disposed on the outer side of both the concave plate and the L-shaped plate, and the exhaust ports are all connected to the second air chamber; an electric valve is disposed within the exhaust port, and the electric valve is electrically connected to the control module.

[0028] Beneficial effects: When the artificial reef deviates from the preset deployment position, the control module controls the electric valve in the corresponding position to open, so that the gas in the first air chamber is transported to the second air chamber through the second air pipe, and then discharged from the corresponding exhaust port, thereby suppressing the deviation of the artificial reef. At the same time, the reaction force of the gas discharge pushes the artificial reef back to the preset deployment position, thereby greatly improving the positioning accuracy and seabed stability of the artificial reef.

[0029] Furthermore, a backup air pump is installed at the top of the first air chamber. The backup air pump is used to replenish gas into the first air chamber when the energy storage component is insufficient to correct the artificial reef. The control module is also used to determine whether to start the backup air pump based on the correction status of the artificial reef.

[0030] Beneficial effects: When the energy storage component is insufficient to quickly and effectively correct the artificial reef, the control module intelligently determines and activates the backup air pump based on real-time monitoring of the correction status. The addition of the backup air pump significantly increases the gas pressure in the first air chamber, thereby enhancing the gas flow rate at the exhaust port and the reaction force generated during exhaust. This enhanced reaction force helps to push the artificial reef, which has deviated from its preset position, back to its original location more quickly, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the correction.

[0031] Furthermore, a first spool is also installed on the hull, which is used to house the second air pipe.

[0032] Beneficial effects: When the second air tube is not in use, it can be stored by winding it around the first spool, thereby reducing the area occupied by the second air tube and preventing it from being placed randomly when not in use, which could lead to tripping, entanglement and other safety accidents.

[0044] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0045] Example 1 is basically as shown in the appendix. Figures 1-7 As shown:

[0046] A GPS-based artificial reef precision deployment device includes a hull 1; the hull 1 is equipped with a grasping component, a deployment component, an energy storage component, and a correction component.

[0047] In this embodiment, the gripping component is mainly used to grasp the artificial reef placed on the hull 1 and release it at an appropriate time. Specifically, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 5As shown, the gripping component includes an inverted concave plate 5, the top of which is welded and fixed to the cable 608; the concave plate 5 has a movable groove 502 inside, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown, both ends of the movable groove 502 are provided with inverted "L"-shaped plates 501. The top of the "L"-shaped plates 501 is inserted into the movable groove 502 and slides in cooperation with the movable groove 502. A drive mechanism is provided in the movable groove 502, which is used to drive the "L"-shaped plates 501 to clamp and release the artificial reef.

[0048] Specifically, the drive mechanism includes at least one second spring 503 disposed within the movable slot 502, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, three second springs 503 are provided, and both ends of the second springs 503 are welded and fixed to the "L"-shaped plate 501 respectively; the movable groove 502 is connected to the drive pipe 801, and the drive pipe 801 is connected to the first air pump (not shown in the figure). In this embodiment, the first air pump is located on the hull 1. The first air pump is a special air pump that can draw positive and negative pressure. Its specific model is YW29. The first air pump is electrically connected to the control module.

[0049] The deployment component includes a lifting mechanism and a hoisting structure. The lifting mechanism is used to move the artificial reef from the hull 1 to the water surface. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism is a crane 2. The hoisting mechanism includes a drive box 6. The drive box 6 is equipped with a power component, a second spool 603, and a screw groove 607. The power component is used to drive the second spool 603 to rotate. Specifically, the power component includes a drive motor 601. The output shaft of the drive motor 601 is axially welded and fixed to the second spool 603. A clutch 602 is installed between the drive motor 601 and the second spool 603. The clutch 602 is mainly used for the separation and engagement of the output shaft of the drive motor 601 and the second spool 603. Both the drive motor 601 and the clutch 602 are electrically connected to the control module. A cable 608 is welded and fixed on the second spool 603. The cable 608 is wound around the second spool 603 and is used to pull the "concave" shaped plate 5. A screw rod 604 is rotatably connected in the screw groove 607. The screw rod 604 is coaxially welded and fixed to the second spool 603. An air inlet 605 and an air outlet 606 are also provided in the screw groove 607.

[0050] Energy storage components are used to store and release gases. Specifically, see attached... Figure 3 As shown, the energy storage assembly includes a pressure tank 3; a first air chamber 301 is provided inside the pressure tank 3, and a first spring 303 and a piston 302 are provided at the bottom of the first air chamber 301, with the piston 302 slidingly engaging with the first air chamber 301; an air inlet 304 is provided on one side of the top of the first air chamber 301, and the air inlet 304 is connected to a first air pipe 7, which is connected to an air outlet 606. To prevent reverse airflow, a one-way valve is bolted inside the first air pipe 7.

[0051] The correction component is used to release the gas stored in the accumulator tank 3 underwater and use the reaction force generated by the gas to adjust the position of the grasping component. Specifically, the correction component includes a second air chamber 506 opened in the "U"-shaped plate 5; the second air chamber 506 is connected to a second air pipe 8, which is connected to the first air chamber 301; both the "U"-shaped plate 5 and the "L"-shaped plate 501 have at least one exhaust port 505 on their outer sides. The number of exhaust ports 505 is determined according to actual needs. The more exhaust ports 505 and the more evenly distributed they are, the more stable the artificial reef will be when correcting it. All exhaust ports 505 are connected to the second air chamber 506; an electric valve is bolted to the exhaust port 505, and the electric valve is electrically connected to the control module.

[0052] It also includes a positioning module and a control module; the positioning module is used to obtain the underwater position of the artificial reef and the preset deployment position information; the control module is used to control the operation of the energy storage component and the correction component based on the information from the positioning module until the position of the artificial reef is consistent with the preset deployment position.

[0053] To facilitate the storage of the second air pipe 8, a first spool 4 is welded and fixed to the hull 1. When the second air pipe 8 is not in use, it is stored by winding it around the first spool 4, thereby reducing the area it occupies.

[0054] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0055] The deployment location is predetermined, i.e., a pre-set deployment location. The vessel 1 travels to the pre-set deployment location, and then the GPS obtains the current position of the vessel 1, inputting the pre-set deployment location information into the positioning module. The grasping component begins operation, activating the first air pump to inject gas into the movable groove 502 through the drive pipe 801, compressing the second spring 503, causing the two inverted "L"-shaped plates 501 to slide inward within the movable groove 502, clamping the artificial reef. Once the "L"-shaped plates 501 have fully clamped the artificial reef, the drive air pump stops operating, maintaining the clamped state.

[0056] Then, crane 2 is started, and the grabbing component and the artificial reef held by it are slowly lifted from the hull 1 via cable 608 until they are moved above the water surface. At the same time, the drive motor 601 of the lifting mechanism is started. Through the cooperation of clutch 602 and second spool 603, the drive cable 608 drives the concave plate 5 and the artificial reef to continue to rise or fall, adjusting to a suitable deployment height. Then, the artificial reef and the concave plate 5 are released to allow them to sink freely. At the same time, clutch 602 is controlled to separate the second spool 603 from the output shaft of drive motor 601, thereby avoiding wear and tear on drive motor 601 caused by the rotation of the second spool 603.

[0057] During the descent, the cable 608 drives the second spool 603 to rotate, and the rotation of the second spool 603 drives the screw rod 604 to rotate. The rotation of the screw rod 604 draws in outside air through the air inlet 605 and then discharges it from the air outlet 606. The air then passes through the first air pipe 7 and enters the first air chamber 301 for storage.

[0058] The positioning module acquires the underwater location information of the artificial reef in real time, and the control module compares it with the preset deployment location.

[0059] The control module determines whether the artificial reef has deviated by comparing the distance between the real-time position of the artificial reef and the preset deployment position. When the artificial reef deviates during the sinking process (i.e., moves away from the preset deployment position), the control module controls the corresponding electric valve (i.e., the electric valve on the side of the "concave" plate 5 or "L" plate 501 farthest from the preset deployment position) to open. The gas in the second air chamber 506 is quickly released into the water through the exhaust port 505, generating a reaction force to push the artificial reef toward the preset deployment position until the deviation of the artificial reef is corrected.

[0060] During the process of controlling the corresponding electric valve by the above control module, since the assembly composed of the "concave" plate 5, the "L" plate 501 and the artificial reef may rotate under the action of water flow, the control module is also used to determine whether the opened electric valve is the electric valve in the required orientation based on the distance between the real-time position of the artificial reef and the preset placement position after the electric valve is opened, that is, whether the opened electric valve can play the role of correcting the artificial reef.

[0061] Once a certain depth is reached (generally, artificial reefs are deployed in water depths of 20-30 meters), for example, in water depths of 20 meters, after reaching 15 meters and confirming the artificial reef's accurate positioning, the first air pump in the control module reverses its operation, releasing the gas in the movable slot 502. Simultaneously, with the assistance of the second spring 503, the "L"-shaped plate 501 slides outward, releasing the artificial reef. Under the influence of gravity, the artificial reef slowly sinks to the preset deployment position, completing the deployment.

[0062] After deployment, the control module drives the clutch 602 to engage the output shaft of the second spool 603 and the drive motor 601, and then starts the drive motor 601 to drive the second spool 603 to rotate, retrieving the concave plate 5 and the L-shaped plate 501 from the water, ready for the next deployment.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] The only difference from the above embodiment is that a backup air pump 305 is bolted to the top of the first air chamber 301. The backup air pump 305 is used to replenish gas into the first air chamber 301 when the energy of the energy storage component is insufficient to repair the artificial reef. The control module is also used to determine whether to start the backup air pump 305 based on the repair status of the artificial reef.

[0065] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0066] When correcting the position of the artificial reef, the control module simultaneously obtains the correction status of the artificial reef (i.e., the displacement status of the artificial reef) after the electric valve is opened through the positioning module. Specifically, it measures the distance the artificial reef moves to the preset placement position per unit time. When the distance moved per unit time is low, i.e. lower than the preset distance, the control module starts the backup air pump 305. After the backup air pump 305 starts working, it directly sends compressed air into the first air chamber 301 to increase its internal pressure, thereby increasing the exhaust speed of the exhaust port 505 and enhancing the correction capability.

[0067] Example 3

[0068] The only difference from the above embodiment is that the accumulator tank 3 is equipped with a displacement sensor for acquiring the movement of the piston 302. The bottom of the concave plate 5 and the L-shaped plate 501 are also equipped with an exhaust port 505 and an electric valve 504. The control module is also used to determine the acceleration and velocity of the artificial reef based on the information from the displacement sensor. Based on the release timing of the artificial reef, the control module controls the operation of the electric valve 504 at the bottom of the concave plate 5 and the L-shaped plate 501 and the backup air pump. When the countdown to the release of the artificial reef begins, the control module controls the electric valve 504 at the bottom of the concave plate 5 and the L-shaped plate 501 to open simultaneously. Based on the acceleration and velocity of the artificial reef, the control module controls the output power of the backup air pump 305 until the acceleration or initial velocity of the artificial reef is 0 when it is released.

[0069] Specific implementation process:

[0070] When the artificial reef is deployed from the water surface, during its release into the water, the second spool 603 is rotated by the cable 608 as the artificial reef sinks. Different artificial reefs have different weights; the heavier the reef, the faster it sinks and the faster the second spool 603 rotates. This causes the auger 604 to draw in air faster, the accumulator tank 3 to store air faster, and the piston 302 to move faster due to air compression. Therefore, the acceleration of the artificial reef can be determined by the rate of change of displacement of the piston 302, and the speed of the artificial reef can be determined by the sinking time and acceleration.

[0071] The control module adjusts the output power of the backup air pump 305 to increase the resistance generated when air is discharged from the exhaust port as the artificial reef is about to be released, thereby regulating the release state of the artificial reef and achieving precise control over the release process. This control method not only improves the accuracy and stability of the release but also reduces the potential environmental impact.

[0072] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention, and common knowledge such as specific structures and / or characteristics in the solutions are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of the present invention, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
