[0002] Swimming pools are places where people swim, and various underwater equipment is often used in swimming pools to meet actual usage needs. When underwater equipment is actually used for underwater operations, it is often necessary to control the underwater equipment to maintain communication with the surface equipment on the water surface, so that the operator can use the surface equipment to supervise and control the operation of the underwater equipment.

[0003] However, research has found that there are certain disadvantages in the above-mentioned underwater equipment and surface equipment, whether they are connected by wireless communication or wired communication:

[0004] When underwater devices communicate using wireless communication, the wireless communication signals need to propagate in two physical media, air and water, which results in serious attenuation of the wireless communication signals, causing poor quality of the signals sent and received by the underwater devices, or even the inability to communicate with the surface devices. Therefore, existing surface devices cannot achieve stable and reliable wireless communication connections with underwater devices.

[0005] When underwater equipment communicates using wired communication, the underwater equipment usually needs to drag a long communication cable, which will greatly increase the resistance of the underwater equipment in underwater movement and limit the movement range of the underwater equipment. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a floating communication device, a communication system, a water quality detection system and a detection method to solve the problem of poor wireless communication effect between current water equipment and underwater equipment located underwater.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a water surface floating communication device, including a main body, which can float on the water surface, and a controller, a first communication module and a second communication module are provided in the main body, and the first communication module, the second communication module and the controller are electrically connected respectively, wherein the first communication module is used for wireless communication connection with a device located above the water surface, and the second communication module is used for wireless communication connection with a device located below the water surface.

[0008] Furthermore, the second communication module includes at least one of the following: a visible light communication module, a vibration communication module, and a sound communication module.

[0009] Furthermore, when the main body floats on the water surface, the horizontal height of the second communication module is lower than the horizontal height of the water surface.

[0010] Furthermore, the second communication module is a radio communication module.

[0011] Furthermore, when the main body floats on the water surface, the horizontal height of the second communication module is higher than the horizontal height of the water surface.

[0012] Furthermore, the main body is also provided with a power module, and when the main body floats on the water surface, the power module is used to drive the main body to move on the water surface.

[0013] Correspondingly, another object of the present invention is to provide a communication system, comprising the above-mentioned surface floating communication device, and also comprising underwater equipment, wherein the underwater equipment is provided with a third communication module, and the third communication module is wirelessly connected to the second communication module.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes water equipment, which is wirelessly connected to the first communication module.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a gateway device and a cloud server, the gateway device is connected to the cloud server, and the first communication module and the water device are wirelessly connected to the gateway device respectively.

[0016] Correspondingly, another object of the present invention is to provide a water quality detection system, comprising the above-mentioned surface floating communication device, wherein the surface floating communication device also includes a water quality detection module, and the water quality detection module is electrically connected to the first communication module and / or the second communication module.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes underwater equipment, which includes a chemical release module, and the underwater equipment is wirelessly connected to the second communication module.

[0018] Accordingly, another object of the present invention is to provide a water quality detection method, which is applied to the above-mentioned water quality detection system, further comprising the following steps:

[0019] The water quality detection module detects the water quality of the floating water area of ​​the main body and generates a corresponding water quality detection signal, and the water quality detection module transmits the water quality detection signal to the second communication module; the second communication module transmits the water quality detection signal to the underwater device; the underwater device determines whether the water quality detection signal meets the conditions for releasing chemical substances; when the water quality detection signal meets the conditions for releasing chemical substances, the underwater device controls the chemical substance release module to release chemical substances into the water; otherwise, the chemical substance release module does not release chemical substances.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention provides a floating communication device on the water surface, which enables the underwater equipment and the surface equipment to achieve stable and smooth wireless communication, wherein the surface equipment and the underwater equipment use the floating communication device on the water surface as a wireless repeater or a wireless bridge device, and the floating communication device on the water surface regenerates and amplifies the received wireless communication signal and then forwards it to the surface equipment or the underwater equipment, thereby ensuring the communication quality between the surface equipment and the underwater equipment;

[0021] In addition, the surface floating communication device floats on the water surface of the water area where the underwater equipment operates. The straight-line distance from the surface floating communication device to the underwater equipment is shorter than the straight-line distance from the surface equipment to the underwater equipment. Therefore, the surface floating communication device can shorten the transmission distance of the underwater communication signal.

[0038] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in combination with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the inventor has designed and disclosed a floating communication device on the water surface, including a main body 1, which can float on the water surface, and a controller 2, a first communication module 4 and a second communication module 5 are provided in the main body 1, and the first communication module 4, the second communication module 5 are electrically connected to the controller 2 respectively, wherein the first communication module 4 is used for wireless communication connection with a device located above the water surface, and the second communication module 5 is used for wireless communication connection with a device located below the water surface.

[0040] The most critical concept of the present invention is that the inventor has designed a floating communication device on the water surface to achieve stable and smooth wireless communication between the water equipment 8 located above the water surface and the underwater equipment 6 located below the water surface; wherein, in order to establish a stable and reliable communication connection between the water equipment 8 and the underwater equipment 6, and to overcome the problem of severe attenuation of wireless communication signals when transmitted in two different physical media, water and air, the water surface floating communication device is provided with a first communication module 4 and a second communication module 5, and the first communication module 4 is used for wireless communication connection with the water equipment 8, and the second communication module 5 is used for wireless communication connection with the underwater equipment 6, and the first communication module 4 and the second communication module 5 then communicate with each other, so that the water surface floating communication device acts as a wireless repeater or bridge device for the water equipment 8 and the underwater equipment 6, thereby ensuring and improving the quality of wireless communication between the water equipment 8 and the underwater equipment 6.

[0041] The communication transmission principle of the floating communication device of the present invention is briefly described as follows: In practical application, the floating communication device and the underwater equipment 6 are first placed in the same water area. Figure 1 ,exist Figure 1 A marked therein is the water surface, the water surface floating communication device floats on the water, and the bottom of the water surface floating communication device is immersed under the water surface, and the top of the water surface floating communication device is located above the water surface and exposed to the air.

[0042] When the operator operates the water equipment 8, the water equipment 8 will generate a water wireless communication signal, and the water wireless communication signal will be transmitted through the air to the floating communication device on the water surface; the first communication module 4 in the floating communication device on the water surface receives the water wireless communication signal, and forwards the water wireless communication signal to the controller 2, the controller 2 shapes and amplifies the water wireless communication signal, and then converts the water wireless communication signal into an underwater wireless communication signal, and forwards the underwater wireless communication signal to the second communication module 5; the second communication module 5 transmits the underwater wireless communication signal through the water body to the underwater equipment 6, at this time the underwater equipment 6 can effectively receive the underwater wireless communication signal sent by the second communication module 5, thereby realizing indirect communication between the water equipment 8 and the underwater equipment 6.

[0043] Of course, in actual application, the above-mentioned controller 2 may not amplify the surface wireless communication signal. It can directly convert the surface wireless communication signal into an underwater wireless communication signal, and send the converted underwater wireless communication signal to the second communication module 5, and the second communication module 5 can amplify the underwater wireless communication signal received from the controller 2 and transmit it to the underwater equipment 6.

[0044] In addition, it should be noted that when the underwater device 6 sends a communication message to the surface device 8, the underwater wireless communication signal generated by the underwater device 6 can be effectively output to the above-mentioned surface floating communication device, and then transmitted to the surface device 8 through the surface floating communication device. The communication transmission principle is the same as the communication transmission principle of the above-mentioned surface device 8 sending the surface wireless communication signal to the underwater device 6, but the transmission direction of the wireless communication signal is opposite.

[0045] Based on the above, it should be emphasized that the reason for setting up the floating communication device of the present invention is that the straight-line distance from the main body 1 of the floating communication device to the underwater device 6 is shorter than the straight-line distance from the surface device 8 to the underwater device 6, which can effectively reduce the propagation distance of wireless communication, thereby effectively reducing the attenuation of wireless communication signals during propagation. In addition, in actual application, the first communication module 4 can select a wireless communication signal transmission medium that is more conducive to air propagation (for example, radio waves, microwaves, etc.) to send and receive signals, and the second communication module 5 can select a wireless communication signal transmission medium that is more conducive to propagation in the water body (for example, visible light, sound, vibration, etc.) to send and receive signals, thereby further improving the communication effect between the surface device 8 and the underwater device 6.

[0046] It can be seen that when the underwater equipment 6 and the surface equipment 8 conduct wireless communication through the surface floating communication device provided by the present invention, not only can the communication effect and communication quality between the surface equipment 8 and the underwater equipment 6 be guaranteed, but also the activity of the underwater equipment 6 can be avoided from being restricted by wired communication between the surface equipment 8 and the underwater equipment 6.

[0047] Furthermore, the second communication module 5 includes at least one of the following: a visible light communication module, a vibration communication module, and a sound communication module.

[0048] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the second communication module 5 can specifically select a visible light communication module. The second communication module 5 adopts underwater visible light communication technology, which uses visible light information as a carrier and transmits information through an underwater channel, so that the surface floating communication device has the advantages of high communication speed with the underwater equipment 6, small size, low cost, and large capacity. In addition, the attenuation of light in water is smaller than that of electromagnetic waves. Therefore, visible light communication can obtain better communication effect in water than electromagnetic wave communication.

[0049] In some other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the second communication module 5 can specifically select a vibration communication module or a sound communication module, and the second communication module 5 and the underwater equipment 6 send and receive vibration signals to each other to achieve the effect of mutual communication between the two, and the vibration signal has a stronger ability to penetrate the water body. The second communication module 5 relies on sound or vibration as the propagation medium of the signal in the water body, and its signal propagation quality is better than the propagation quality of electromagnetic waves in the water body.

[0050] From the above description, it can be seen that the second communication module 5 and the underwater device 6 preferably use a wireless transmission method with better propagation quality in the water body, so that the second communication module 5 and the underwater module can obtain a higher quality signal transmission effect in the water; correspondingly, the first communication module 4 and the above-water device 8 use a wireless transmission method with better propagation quality in the air, so that the first communication module 4 and the above-water module can obtain a higher quality signal transmission effect in the air;

[0051] Therefore, in actual application, the first communication module 4 and the second communication module 5 will have different transmission methods for sending and receiving signals, and the first communication module 4 and the second communication module 5 use different physical layer protocols. The operator can select a controller 2 that can convert the physical layer protocol according to actual conditions, so that the controller 2 completes the physical layer protocol conversion and then forwards the signal.

[0052] Furthermore, when the body 1 floats on the water surface, the level of the second communication module 5 is lower than the level of the water surface.

[0053] From the above description, it can be seen that when the second communication module 5 selects a visible light communication module, a vibration communication module or a sound communication module, in order to avoid reflection and refraction when the visible light or vibration enters the water, which causes the visible light signal or the vibration signal to attenuate when entering the water, the operator specifically controls the horizontal height of the second communication module 5 to be lower than the horizontal height of the water surface.

[0054] Of course, when the level of the second communication module 5 is lower than the level of the water surface, the second communication module 5 is equivalent to being directly underwater. At this time, the second communication module 5 can directly transmit the signal to the underwater device 6 underwater, that is, the wireless communication signal sent and received between the underwater device 6 and the second communication module 5 is always transmitted in the water body, and the wireless communication signal sent and received between the water device 8 and the first communication module 4 is always transmitted in the air. At this time, the floating communication device on the water surface can effectively avoid the problem of severe signal attenuation caused by the need for wireless communication signals to propagate in two different physical media.

[0055] It should be pointed out that, in actual setting, the second communication module 5 can be specifically set at the bottom of the main body 1, so that the second communication module 5 can be as close to the underwater device 6 as possible, thereby reducing the communication distance between itself and the underwater device 6.

[0056] Furthermore, the second communication module 5 is a radio communication module.

[0057] It can be seen from the above description that the second communication module 5 is specifically a radio communication module, so that the second communication module 5 can transmit a larger amount of information, and the radio communication module and the underwater equipment 6 can establish a more efficient communication connection.

[0058] Furthermore, when the body 1 floats on the water surface, the level of the second communication module 5 is higher than the level of the water surface.

[0059] As can be seen from the above description, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the second communication module 5 can not only be arranged underwater (i.e., the level of the second communication module 5 is lower than the level of the water surface), but can also be arranged on the water surface according to specific use requirements, i.e., the level of the second communication module 5 is controlled to be higher than the level of the water surface. When the second communication module 5 is selected as a wireless communication module and its own level is higher than the level of the water surface, the radio signal of the second communication module 5 can obtain a more sufficient divergence effect.

[0060] Furthermore, the main body 1 is also provided with a power module, and when the main body 1 floats on the water surface, the power module is used to drive the main body 1 to move on the water surface.

[0061] In certain preferred embodiments of the present invention, in order to obtain a better implementation effect, a power module can also be provided on the body 1, so as to utilize the power module to drive the surface floating communication device and the underwater device 6 to move synchronously, thereby ensuring that the surface floating communication device is always located above the underwater device 6 in the vertical direction. Based on this setting, the surface floating communication device and the underwater device 6 can always maintain a minimum communication distance, which can reduce the propagation attenuation of the wireless communication signal in the water, thereby obtaining a better communication effect. Of course, through this design, when the underwater device 6 is specifically used in an environment such as a swimming pool, the operator can also directly judge the current working position of the underwater device 6 at the bottom of the swimming pool by observing the position of the surface floating communication device on the shore.

[0062] The present invention further discloses a communication system, including the above-mentioned floating communication device on the water surface, and also including an underwater device 6 , wherein the underwater device 6 is provided with a third communication module 7 , and the third communication module 7 is wirelessly connected with the second communication module 5 .

[0063] From the above description, it can be seen that the communication system provided by the present invention is used to ensure the communication of the underwater equipment 6, wherein the underwater equipment 6 is provided with a third communication module 7, and the third communication module 7 realizes wireless communication connection with the second communication module 5 provided in the surface floating communication device. The communication system has at least all the advantages of the above-mentioned surface floating communication system, and no further details will be given here.

[0064] Furthermore, it also includes water equipment 8, and the water equipment 8 is wirelessly connected to the first communication module 4.

[0065] In the above technical solution of the present invention, according to specific usage requirements, the water equipment 8 can be selected as a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer or a remote control that has the ability to send and receive wireless communication signals, so as to facilitate operation by the operator.

[0066] Among them, the wireless communication signal between the first communication module 4 and the water equipment 8 is mainly transmitted in the air. The wireless communication methods transmitted in the air are richer and the technology is more mature. Therefore, the operator can select the existing wireless communication module to realize the wireless communication connection between the first communication module 4 and the water equipment 8 according to the environment, communication distance and other conditions, such as: WIFI module, Bluetooth module, infrared module, etc.

[0067] Furthermore, it also includes a gateway device 9 and a cloud server 10, the gateway device 9 is connected to the cloud server 10, and the first communication module 4 and the water equipment 8 are wirelessly connected to the gateway device 9 respectively.

[0068] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the floating communication device on the water surface realizes wireless communication connection with the gateway device 9 through the first communication module 4, and the gateway device 9 is connected to the cloud server 10, and the operator can control the remote device to connect to the cloud server 10 through the network, thereby realizing remote monitoring of the underwater device 6;

[0069] In the practical application of this embodiment, the communication system can push the operation status of the underwater equipment 6 to the mobile terminal device of the operator to ensure that the underwater equipment 6 operates normally;

[0070] For example, when a failure occurs in the underwater equipment 6 or the underwater equipment 6 reaches the maintenance time, the underwater equipment 6 sends a corresponding prompt message to the second communication module 5 through the third communication module 7, and the surface floating communication device then sends the prompt message to the gateway device 9 through the first communication module 4, and the gateway device 9 will upload the prompt message to the cloud server 10 accordingly, and the cloud server 10 will push the prompt message to the operator's mobile terminal device.

[0071] It can be seen from the above description that the communication system not only enables the underwater equipment 6 to achieve stable communication with the surface equipment 8, but also enriches the application scenarios of the communication between the surface equipment 8 and the underwater equipment 6, and improves the convenience of operation for operators.

[0072] The present invention also discloses a water quality detection system, including the above-mentioned floating communication device on the water surface, wherein the floating communication device on the water surface further includes a water quality detection module 11 , and the water quality detection module 11 is electrically connected to the first communication module 4 and / or the second communication module 5 .

[0073] It can be seen from the above description that the floating communication device on the water surface can not only ensure stable communication between the above-water equipment 8 and the underwater equipment 6 , but also can detect the water quality of the water area through the water quality detection module 11 .

[0074] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the water quality detection module 11 is electrically connected to the first communication module 4, the water quality detection module 11 detects water quality information and generates a corresponding water quality detection signal, the water quality detection module 11 transmits the water quality detection signal to the first communication module 4, the first communication module 4 transmits the water quality detection signal to the gateway device 9, and the gateway device 9 uploads the water quality detection signal to the cloud server 10, the cloud server 10 processes the water quality detection signal into a water quality detection report and pushes the water quality detection report information to the operator's mobile terminal device, so that the operator can monitor the water quality of the relevant waters in real time through the mobile terminal device.

[0075] In some other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the water quality detection module 11 is electrically connected to the second communication module 5, and the water quality detection module 11 detects the water quality and generates a corresponding water quality detection signal. The second communication module 5 transmits the water quality detection signal to the underwater equipment 6. The operator can set the corresponding threshold in the underwater equipment 6 so that the underwater equipment 6 can automatically judge the water quality and automatically implement the corresponding cleaning procedure.

[0076] In some more preferred embodiments of the present invention, the water quality detection module 11 can be electrically connected to the first communication module 4 and the second communication module 5 respectively, so as to simultaneously realize the above-mentioned two functions of remote monitoring of water quality in the water area and automatic cleaning of the underwater equipment 6.

[0077] Furthermore, it also includes an underwater device 6, which includes a chemical release module 12, and the underwater device 6 is wirelessly connected to the second communication module 5.

[0078] From the above description, it can be seen that when the water quality detection module 11 is connected to the second communication module 5, the second communication module 5 transmits the water quality detection signal to the underwater equipment 6, and when the underwater equipment 6 determines that the water quality needs to be cleaned by adding chemical substances, the underwater equipment 6 will release swimming pool water treatment agents into the water through the chemical substance release module 12.

[0079] Accordingly, if Figure 2 In order to further illustrate the process of realizing water quality detection by the water quality detection system designed by the present invention, the present invention also discloses a water quality detection method, which is applied to the above-mentioned water quality detection system and specifically includes the following steps:

[0080] The water quality detection module 11 detects the water quality of the water area where the main body 1 floats and generates a corresponding water quality detection signal, and the water quality detection module 11 transmits the water quality detection signal to the second communication module 5; the second communication module 5 transmits the water quality detection signal to the underwater device 6; the underwater device 6 determines whether the water quality detection signal meets the conditions for releasing chemical substances; when the water quality detection signal meets the conditions for releasing chemical substances, the underwater device 6 controls the chemical substance release module 12 to release chemical substances into the water; otherwise, the chemical substance release module 12 does not release chemical substances.

[0081] In the present invention, the water quality detection module 11 samples and detects the water in the water area, and specifically senses and detects the following project data: free residual chlorine content, pH value, urea content, total bacteria count, Escherichia coli, etc., and presets the thresholds of the above project data in the underwater equipment 6. When one of the project data exceeds the threshold range, the chemical substance release module 12 will be controlled to release the chemical substance.

[0082] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, in order to reduce the power consumption of the underwater device 6 and the load of the CPU of the underwater device 6, the operator can control the judgment steps of the water quality detection method to be implemented by the controller 2 in the body 1. In this embodiment, the steps of the water quality detection method are:

[0083] The water quality detection module 11 detects the water quality of the floating water area of ​​the main body 1 and generates a corresponding water quality detection signal, and the water quality detection module 11 transmits the water quality detection signal to the controller 2; the controller 2 determines whether the water quality detection signal meets the conditions for releasing chemical substances; when the water quality detection signal meets the conditions for releasing chemical substances, the controller 2 sends an operation signal to the second communication module 5, and the second communication module 5 sends the operation signal to the underwater equipment 6, and the underwater equipment 6 controls the chemical substance release module 12 to release chemical substances into the water; otherwise, the chemical substance release module 12 does not release chemical substances.

[0084] Embodiment 1:

[0085] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Embodiment 1 of the present invention is: a floating communication device on the water surface, comprising a body 1, the body 1 can float on the water surface, a controller 2, a battery 3, a first communication module 4 and a second communication module 5 are arranged in the body 1, an above-water device 8 is wirelessly connected to the first communication module 4, the first communication module 4, the second communication module 5, the battery 3 and the controller 2 are electrically connected respectively, the battery 3 supplies power to the first communication module 4 and the second communication module 5, wherein the first communication module 4 is used for wirelessly connecting to the above-water device 8, and the second communication module 5 is used for wirelessly connecting to the underwater device 6, and in addition, when the body 1 floats on the water surface, the horizontal height of the second communication module 5 is lower than the horizontal height of the water surface;

[0086] In the first embodiment, a power module is further provided on the main body 1. When the main body 1 floats on the water, the power module is used to drive the main body 1 to move on the water. In the first embodiment, the power module is specifically a propeller, which is powered by a battery 3.

[0087] In the first embodiment, the first communication module 4 is specifically a WiFi module. In actual applications, the first communication module 4 establishes a wireless communication connection with the above-water equipment 8 through WiFi signals. The second communication module 5 is specifically a visible light communication module. The second communication module 5 establishes a wireless communication connection with the underwater equipment 6 in the water body through visible light communication signals.

[0088] In the first embodiment, the floating communication device, the water equipment 8 and the underwater equipment 6 together constitute a communication system, wherein the water equipment 8 is wirelessly connected to the first communication module 4, and the underwater equipment 6 is provided with a third communication module 7, and the third communication module 7 is wirelessly connected to the second communication module 5;

[0089] In the first embodiment, in order to realize the remote control function of the communication system, the operator further comprises a gateway device 9 and a cloud server 10. The gateway device 9 is connected to the cloud server 10, and the first communication module 4 and the water device 8 are wirelessly connected to the gateway device 9 respectively.

[0090] It should be noted that the cloud server 10 is connected to the Internet. By adding the cloud server 10, the operator can make the operation application of the communication system no longer limited to the local area network near the water area, and can remotely operate and monitor the underwater equipment 6 through the interconnection between the Internet and the cloud server 10.

[0091] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the surface floating communication device is also provided with a water quality detection module 11, and the surface floating device and the underwater equipment 6 together form a water quality detection system. In the water quality detection system, the water quality detection module 11 is electrically connected to the second communication module 5, and the underwater equipment 6 is provided with a chemical substance release module 12.

[0092] In practical applications, the water quality detection module 11 and the chemical substance release module 12 of the water quality detection system can work together to release chemical substances into the water body when the water quality detection result is unqualified, thereby achieving the effect of releasing chemical substances into the water for cleaning according to the water quality conditions. The steps of water quality detection by the water quality detection system are as follows:

[0093] The water quality detection module 11 detects the water quality of the floating water area of ​​the body 1 and generates a corresponding water quality detection signal, and the water quality detection module 11 synchronously transmits the water quality detection signal to the first communication module 4 and the second communication module 5;

[0094] When the water quality detection signal is transmitted to the second communication module 5 , the second communication module 5 transmits the water quality detection signal to the underwater device 6 ;

[0095] The underwater device 6 determines whether the water quality detection signal meets the conditions for releasing chemical substances;

[0096] When the water quality detection signal meets the conditions for releasing the chemical substance, the underwater device 6 controls the chemical substance release module 12 to release the chemical substance into the water;

[0097] Otherwise, the chemical substance releasing module 12 does not release chemical substances.

[0098] It should be noted that in the first embodiment, the water quality detection module 11 needs to extract a certain volume of water quality samples during the detection process, and detect the data of free residual chlorine content, pH value, urea content, total bacteria, and Escherichia coli through the sensor of the water quality detection module 11. The water quality detection module 11 generates corresponding water quality detection signals based on the data of these items, and transmits the water quality detection signals to the underwater device 6 through the second communication module 5;

[0099] In actual applications, the underwater equipment 6 realizes underwater operation functions (such as: using the underwater equipment 6 for underwater cleaning). Therefore, the underwater equipment 6 needs to be configured with a CPU chip with certain data processing capabilities. The third communication module 7 transmits the received water quality detection signal to the CPU. The CPU has a corresponding water quality detection judgment program built in in advance, and sets the data threshold of each item in the program. The CPU determines whether the value of each water quality detection item exceeds the corresponding value threshold. When the value information of one of the water quality detection items exceeds the threshold range, the CPU will determine that the water quality detection signal meets the conditions for releasing chemical substances, and further control the chemical substance release module 12 to release chemical substances into the water body.

[0100] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the water quality detection module 11 is also electrically connected to the first communication unit, and synchronously transmits the water quality detection signal to the first communication unit; when the water quality detection signal is transmitted to the first communication module 4, the first communication module 4 transmits the water quality detection signal to the gateway device 9, and then uploads the water quality detection signal to the cloud server 10 via the gateway device 9.
