Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of marine biotechnology, in particular to an optical jellyfish expulsion system and method around an ocean bathing area. Background Art
[0002] With the growing demand for beach vacations, ocean bathing beaches have become one of the most popular tourist destinations. However, in some areas, especially in tropical and subtropical waters, jellyfish stings occur frequently, which not only poses health risks to tourists, but also has a negative impact on the operation of bathing beaches. Traditional preventive measures usually include setting up warning signs and arranging lifeguard patrols, but these methods are often unable to effectively prevent jellyfish stings.
[0003] In order to improve the above situation, the existing technology usually adopts the method of manual boat net scooping to uniformly expel jellyfish. In recent years, with the development of science and technology, people have begun to explore more advanced and effective jellyfish protection measures, such as using optical detection technology to notify management personnel to remove when too many jellyfish are detected, so as to achieve the effect of automatic protection and expulsion. However, the existing jellyfish protection technology still has certain defects. For example, in actual situations, the jellyfish itself has a high transparency, and common optical detection equipment is difficult to directly judge jellyfish through images and is prone to misjudgment. Secondly, traditional expulsion methods, such as manual expulsion or the use of chemical substances, are not only inefficient, but may also have adverse effects on jellyfish and marine ecology, and have the defects of poor accuracy of jellyfish detection and poor expulsion effect. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention aims to solve the shortcomings of the background technology, provide an optical jellyfish expulsion system and method around an ocean bathing beach, and improve the defects of the common jellyfish expulsion method or system itself having a weak ability to detect jellyfish clusters and a poor jellyfish expulsion effect.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an optical jellyfish expulsion system for the periphery of an ocean bathing beach, comprising: a central console, wherein an optical sensing circuit, a sonar sensing circuit and an expulsion control circuit are arranged inside the central console; an identification system, wherein the identification system is used to detect the periphery of the ocean bathing beach and identify the number of jellyfish in the environment; and an expulsion system, wherein the expulsion system is used to optically expel jellyfish in the ocean bathing beach environment.
[0006] Furthermore, the identification system includes: an optical module and a sonar module. The optical module detects the surrounding ambient light and uses video to determine the number of jellyfish. The sonar component detects organisms in the surrounding environment through sound waves to assist the optical module in making a secondary judgment on the number of jellyfish.
[0007] Furthermore, the optical module includes an optical control board and an optical component, wherein the optical sensing circuit is connected to the optical control board and the optical component, and the optical component includes multiple cameras. Image data is collected by the cameras and summarized and transmitted to the optical sensing circuit through the optical control board, and the collected image data is judged and analyzed by the optical sensing circuit.
[0008] Furthermore, the optical component also includes a transmission line and a branch line, one side of the transmission line is connected to a plurality of branch lines, and the plurality of cameras are respectively and equidistantly arranged on the plurality of branch lines.
[0009] Furthermore, the sonar module includes a sonar control board and a sonar component, the sonar component consists of a detection base and multiple sonar detectors, the detection base is in the shape of a triangular prism, and the multiple sonar detectors are respectively arranged on both sides of the top of the detection base, and the sonar sensing circuit is signal-connected to the sonar control board and the sonar detectors.
[0010] Furthermore, the expulsion system includes an expulsion device, which includes a light source control board and a light-emitting component, wherein the light-emitting component is composed of a flexible light-emitting board and a plurality of strong light sources, wherein the plurality of strong light sources are arranged in an array on the surface of the flexible light-emitting board.
[0011] Furthermore, the expulsion system also includes a sensor module, which is a light sensor. The light sensor is arranged on the surface of the flexible light-emitting board, and the expulsion control circuit is signal-connected between the light sensor, the light source control board and the light-emitting component.
[0012] A method for optically expelling jellyfish from the periphery of an ocean bathing beach comprises the following steps:
[0013] Step S1: Complete the following pre-arrangement, set the identification system and the expulsion system on the seabed at the edge of the ocean bathing area, and control and power them through the central control console;
[0014] Step S2: Using the central console to start the identification system and the expulsion system for detection and expulsion protection;
[0015] Step S3: Detect the environment at the edge of the bathing area through the recognition system, monitor the number of jellyfish in real time, and be on guard against excessive number of jellyfish entering the bathing area;
[0016] Step S4: When the identification system detects that there are too many jellyfish in step S3, the expulsion system is activated to guide and expel the jellyfish in the surrounding environment.
[0017] Furthermore, the step S3 also includes the following specific steps:
[0018] Step S31: photographing and detecting jellyfish in the surrounding environment through a camera in the optical component;

[0020] Step S33: The image data and sound wave data obtained in step S31 and step S32 are compared. When light passes through jellyfish, the image data is prone to misjudgment because many jellyfish are transparent or highly transparent.

Therefore, the data of suspected jellyfish detected in the sound wave data is compared with the optical data detected by the camera. When the sound wave detects an organism and the optical data shows that the light transmittance is strong at that location, it can be marked as a jellyfish, and the combination improves the effectiveness of detection.

[0024] Step S43: During the lighting process, the strong light source near the ocean bathing beach first lights up, and then multiple rows of strong light sources are lit up in sequence, and the sequential lighting is used to guide and expel the jellyfish to swim away from the bathing beach.
[0025] The present invention provides a system and method for optically expelling jellyfish around an ocean bathing beach, which has the following beneficial effects:

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application.

In addition, the various specific processes and material examples provided by the present application, but those of ordinary skill in the art can appreciate the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0034] The embodiment of the present application provides a system and method for optically expelling jellyfish around a bathing beach. The system and method for optically expelling jellyfish around a bathing beach can realize real-time monitoring of the number of jellyfish through an identification system. The combination of optical modules and sonar modules improves the accuracy and reliability of detection, reduces the possibility of false alarms, and effectively prevents jellyfish stings by using expulsion measures. Secondly, by utilizing the light-avoiding characteristics of jellyfish, an optical expulsion method is adopted, and jellyfish are not directly contacted, thereby reducing the impact on jellyfish and marine ecology. By guiding jellyfish away from the bathing beach, the safety of tourists is guaranteed, and at the same time, jellyfish are not harmed, which complies with environmental protection principles. The optical system and method for expelling jellyfish around a bathing beach are described in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.
[0035] The present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Figure 1-4 In this embodiment, a jellyfish optical expulsion system for the surrounding area of an ocean bathing beach is provided, comprising: a central control panel 1, wherein an optical sensing circuit 110, a sonar sensing circuit 120 and an expulsion control circuit 130 are arranged inside the central control panel 1; an identification system 2, wherein the identification system 2 is used to detect the surrounding environment of the ocean bathing beach and identify the number of jellyfish in the environment; and an expulsion system 3, wherein the expulsion system 3 is used to optically expel jellyfish in the environment of the ocean bathing beach.
[0036] During use, the central console 1 is used to control the start-up of the identification system 2 and the expulsion system 3. The two subdivision systems cooperate with the central console 1 to monitor and immediately expel jellyfish in the environment, realizing automatic protection and expulsion without human intervention, providing a non-contact jellyfish expulsion method, reducing the impact on jellyfish and marine ecology, and effectively preventing jellyfish stings and ensuring the safety of the bathing beach through real-time monitoring and automatic expulsion.
[0037] The identification system 2 includes: an optical module 210 and a sonar module 220. The optical module 210 detects the surrounding ambient light and uses video to determine the number of jellyfish. The sonar component 222 detects organisms in the surrounding environment through sound waves to assist the optical module 210 in making a secondary determination of the number of jellyfish.
[0038] In specific work, image data is collected by the camera 212c in the optical component 212, and the sonar detector 222b of the sonar component 222 is used to emit sound waves and receive reflected signals. The optical data and the sound wave data are processed and compared in the optical sensing circuit 110 and the sonar sensing circuit 120. When the sound wave data detects the existence of organisms at a certain point and the optical data shows that the light at this point is unobstructed or weakly obstructed, the high transparency of the jellyfish itself can be used to confirm the existence of the jellyfish. The use of multi-mode detection improves the accuracy and reliability of detection, and the complementarity of optical and sonar data reduces the possibility of false alarms.
[0039] The optical module 210 includes an optical control board 211 and an optical component 212, wherein the optical sensing circuit 110 is connected to the optical control board 211 and the optical component 212, and the optical component 212 includes a plurality of cameras 212c, which collect image data and summarize and transmit them to the optical sensing circuit 110 through the optical control board 211, and the collected image data is judged and analyzed by the optical sensing circuit 110, and the optical component 212 also includes a transmission line 212a and a branch line 212b, and one side of the transmission line 212a is connected to a plurality of branch lines 212b, and the plurality of cameras 212c are equidistantly arranged on the plurality of branch lines 212b.
[0040] During use, the camera 212c collects image data and transmits it to the optical control board 211 through the branch line 212b and the transmission line 212a. At the same time, the optical control board 211 sends the data to the optical sensing circuit 110 for analysis. In this way, the distributed camera design can cover a wider area and improve the efficiency and reliability of data transmission by optimizing the data transmission line.
[0041] The sonar module 220 includes a sonar control board 221 and a sonar component 222. The sonar component 222 consists of a detection base 222a and a plurality of sonar detectors 222b. The detection base 222a is in the shape of a triangular prism. The plurality of sonar detectors 222b are respectively arranged on both sides of the top of the detection base 222a. The sonar sensing circuit 120 is signal-connected to the sonar control board 221 and the sonar detectors 222b.
[0042] During use, the sonar detector 222b emits sound waves and receives echoes, and the data is sent to the sonar sensing circuit 120 through the sonar control board 221. The detection base 222a in the shape of a triangular prism can better adapt to the underwater environment and prevent multiple sonar detectors 222b on both sides from affecting each other, thereby improving the detection accuracy.
[0043] The expelling system 3 includes an expelling device 320, which includes a light source control board 321 and a light emitting component 322. The light emitting component 322 is composed of a flexible light emitting board 322a and a plurality of strong light sources 322b, wherein the plurality of strong light sources 322b are arranged in an array on the surface of the flexible light emitting board 322a.
[0044] During use, the light sensor 311 is used to detect the ambient light. According to the light conditions, the light source control board 321 adjusts the brightness of the strong light source 322b to guide the jellyfish away from the bathing area. The expulsion strategy is dynamically adjusted according to different lighting conditions to improve the expulsion efficiency. The use of the flexible light-emitting board 322a makes the light-emitting component 322 easier to install and maintain.
[0045] The expulsion system 3 further includes a sensor module 310, which is a light sensor 311. The light sensor 311 is disposed on the surface of the flexible light-emitting board 322a, and the expulsion control circuit 130 is signal-connected between the light sensor 311, the light source control board 321 and the light-emitting component 322.
[0046] A method for optically expelling jellyfish from the periphery of an ocean bathing beach comprises the following steps:
[0047] Step S1: Complete the following pre-arrangement, set the identification system 2 and the expulsion system 3 on the seabed at the edge of the ocean bathing beach, and control and power them through the central console 1;
[0048] Step S2: using the central console 1 to start the identification system 2 and the expulsion system 3 to perform detection and expulsion protection;
[0049] Step S3: Detect the environment at the edge of the bathing area through the recognition system 2, monitor the number of jellyfish in real time, and be on guard against too many jellyfish entering the bathing area;
[0050] Step S4: When the identification system 2 detects that there are too many jellyfish in step S3, the expulsion system 3 is activated to guide and expel the jellyfish in the surrounding environment.
[0051] Through the above steps, the jellyfish in the bathing area can be automatically expelled, which reduces the need for human intervention. At the same time, the safety and comfort of the bathing area are ensured by utilizing efficient detection and expulsion processes.
[0052] Furthermore, the step S3 also includes the following specific steps:
[0053] Step S31: photographing and detecting jellyfish in the surrounding environment through the camera 212c in the optical component 212;
[0054] Step S32: using the sonar detector 222b in the sonar component 222 to perform acoustic wave detection on organisms in the surrounding environment;
[0055] Step S33: The image data and sound wave data obtained in step S31 and step S32 are compared. When light passes through jellyfish, the image data is prone to misjudgment because many jellyfish are transparent or highly transparent. The sound wave data is also prone to misjudgment due to the interference of reefs or other organisms in the surrounding environment. Therefore, the data of suspected jellyfish detected in the sound wave data is compared with the optical data detected by camera 212c. When the sound wave detects an organism and the optical data shows that the light transmittance is strong at that location, it can be marked as a jellyfish, and the combination improves the effectiveness of detection.
[0056] Through the above steps, combined with the characteristics of jellyfish, the image data and sound wave data are combined and analyzed to improve the accuracy of detection. By comparing different types of detection results, false alarms are reduced.
[0057] Furthermore, the step S4 also includes the following steps:
[0058] Step S41: Detecting the surrounding light through the light sensor 311 to determine whether it is daytime or nighttime;
[0059] Step S42: Control the light emitting component 322 according to the time determined after detection, and use a higher power to emit light during the day, and a relatively lower power to emit light at night, so as to create a light-dark difference to drive away jellyfish;
[0060] Step S43: During the lighting process, the strong light source 322b near the ocean bathing beach first lights up, and then multiple rows of strong light sources 322b are lit up in sequence, and the sequential lighting is used to guide and expel the jellyfish to swim away from the bathing beach.
[0061] According to the above steps, the expulsion strategy can be adjusted according to the lighting conditions to improve the expulsion efficiency, and the jellyfish movement direction can be effectively guided by gradually lighting up, thereby reducing the number of jellyfish.
[0062] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
