Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of shallow sea self-sinking and self-floating profile floaters, and particularly to a shallow sea self-sinking and self-floating profile floater based on flexible solar materials and a method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The self-sinking and self-floating profile floater is a new type of ocean observation instrument. This type of floater has the characteristics of easy deployment, small volume, light weight, low manufacturing cost, and easy maintenance, and can be unaffected by weather conditions and harsh sea conditions. An ocean observation array composed of self-sinking and self-floating profile floaters can autonomously, long-term, stably and uninterruptedly collect profile data of many ocean environmental parameters such as temperature and pressure between the sea surface and a set depth. The collected profile data has important practical significance for the research of ocean science, the development and utilization of ocean resources, and the prediction of marine disasters. The self-sinking and self-floating profile floater is in a periodic working mode. After being deployed, the floater floats on the water surface to complete testing, self-checking, communication and positioning, then dives to a specified depth, and then moves upward to the sea surface and performs a series of profile measurements during the upward movement. Once the floater floats to the water surface, it is positioned and communicated through a satellite, sends the collected data and receives new task instructions, and then dives again for cyclic work. The floater changes the displacement volume by means of a buoyancy adjustment system to realize automatic upward movement and diving. During the working process, the floater is powered by the battery carried by itself. When the battery is depleted, the floater dies.

[0003] At present, most self-sinking and self-floating profile floaters are disposable floaters. Once deployed, they are not recovered and maintained. Therefore, in order to maintain long-term profile observation, new profile floaters need to be continuously deployed, resulting in high cost of maintaining observation. Due to cost and energy constraints, the design and expansion of profile floaters are also subject to certain restrictions. Therefore, prolonging the service life of the floaters is the primary direction of the development of profile floaters. If the service life of the floaters is prolonged, more profile data can be collected, and fewer floaters need to be redeployed each year, which is conducive to reducing observation costs and reducing pollution caused by floater deployment and death. Meanwhile, sufficient energy supply is also an important support for the development of new functions of profile floaters in the future. SUMMARY
