Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of monitoring buoys, and in particular to a marine information comprehensive online monitoring buoy system. Background Art

[0002] Ocean observation buoy is a modern ocean observation technology. It has the ability to collect ocean environment data for a long time, uninterruptedly, stably and reliably, and can automatically collect and send data. Buoys, satellites, aircraft, survey ships, submersibles and acoustic wave detection equipment together form a modern ocean environment monitoring system. Applying buoy technology to rivers, river mouths, lakes and oceans with corresponding sensors can achieve real-time transmission of water quality and meteorological parameters, avoiding the disadvantages of long-term manual labor and data collection without real-time performance, and can save data to computers to achieve data analysis and prediction.

[0003] Most ocean monitoring buoys are powered by batteries, but it is inconvenient to replace batteries because ocean buoys are far away from land. Some ocean buoys are powered by solar panels, but solar panels are mostly fixed. Since the light directions are different at different times, fixed solar panels cannot generate electricity efficiently. The power supply capacity is greatly affected by light, and the equipment often has insufficient power supply, affecting its use. When a small amount of seawater adheres to the surface of the solar panel, it will quickly precipitate, that is, produce white salt stains, which will adhere to the surface of the solar panel. In addition, the excrement of seabirds will fall on the solar panel. The combination of the two will affect the effective lighting area of ​​the solar panel, thereby further affecting the power generation efficiency. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0022] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A buoy system for integrated online monitoring of marine information includes a floating body 1, a shell 2 is fixedly arranged on the top of the floating body 1, the shell 2 includes a main shell 201, an upper shell 202 and a middle shell 203 rotatably connected between the main shell 201 and the upper shell 202, a fixing rod 204 is fixedly arranged between the main shell 201 and the upper shell 202, a mounting seat 3 is fixedly arranged in the main shell 201, a battery 301 and a generator 302 electrically connected to the battery 301 are arranged on the mounting seat 3, a conical solar panel assembly 4 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the middle shell 203, a monitoring station 5 is arranged on the top of the upper shell 202, a sensor assembly for monitoring meteorology, hydrology and water quality is arranged on the monitoring station 5, and a buffer power generation assembly is arranged on the outer side of the main shell 201 for mitigating the impact of water waves on the shell 2 and driving the generator 302 to work.

[0023] Specifically, the monitoring station 5 arranged on the top of the floating body 1 is used to monitor the meteorology, hydrology and water quality, and to monitor the ocean information in real time. The conical solar panel assembly 4 and the generator 302 supplement the power for the battery 301, and the battery 301 provides power for the monitoring station 5. By utilizing the buffer power generation assembly to mitigate the impact of the waves on the buoy equipment and ensure the stability and service life of the buoy, the kinetic potential energy of the waves can be used to drive the generator 302 to work, so that the generator 302 converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy and is stored in the battery 301, thereby ensuring the power generation efficiency of the buoy equipment, so that the monitoring buoy can work stably for a long time.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, further, the buffer power generation assembly includes a plurality of movable frames 6 equidistantly connected to the main shell 201 in a circular sliding manner, an elastic telescopic rod 601 is arranged between each movable frame 6 and the outer wall of the main shell 201, and a buffer plate 602 is fixedly arranged at one end of the movable frame 6 away from the main shell 201.

[0025] Furthermore, the buffer plate 602 is configured to be in an arc shape, and a flexible connecting plate 6021 is provided between two adjacent buffer plates 602 .

[0026] Specifically, when the waves impact the monitoring buoy, the waves first impact the buffer plate 602, and the elastic telescopic rod 601 is compressed, reducing the impact force of the waves on the monitoring buoy, eliminating surge energy in multiple directions, better ensuring the stability of the monitoring buoy, and ensuring the authenticity of the sampled data. The flexible connecting plate 6021 arranged between two adjacent buffer plates 602 effectively avoids blind spots caused by wave impact.

A torsion spring is sleeved on the pin shaft for driving the block 801 to reset and rotate. The inner wall of the movable gear 7012 is evenly circumferentially provided with grooves 802 that cooperate with the block 801.

[0029] Specifically, when the buffer plate 602 is subjected to force, it drives the mobile frame 6 to move into the main shell 201. When the buffer plate 602 is no longer subjected to force, the mobile frame 6 is reset under the elastic force of the elastic telescopic rod 601, so that the mobile frame 6 moves back and forth relative to the main shell 201. When the two rack plates 603 on the mobile frame 6 are engaged with the two one-way gears 701, the two one-way gears 701 will always drive the rotating rod 7 to rotate clockwise. When the rotating rod 7 rotates, it drives the input shaft of the generator 302 to rotate, thereby making the generator 302 work to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is finally stored in the battery 301.
