Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radiation detection and radioactive material monitoring technology, and in particular relates to a smart marine buoy. Background Technology

[0002] When monitoring the radiation environment at sea, smart buoys are required. These buoys can monitor radioactive materials at sea. During operation, they float directly on the sea surface and are powered by solar panels. Over time, a large amount of dust accumulates on the solar panels. However, many smart buoys lack self-cleaning mechanisms for their solar panels. Because they are directly installed on the sea surface, manual cleaning is infrequent, leading to dust buildup on the solar panels. This dust blocks sunlight, reducing the amount of light received by the solar panels. Dust absorbs light, and when the surface of the solar panel is covered in dust, much sunlight is absorbed and cannot penetrate, thus reducing the photovoltaic panel's light absorption efficiency. Experimental studies have shown that when the total thickness of the dust film is greater than 0. At a thickness of 0.7 mm, dust significantly impacts the performance of solar panels, reducing solar irradiance. Simultaneously, dust adhering to the solar panel surface absorbs heat, causing a significant increase in surface temperature and reducing efficiency. Furthermore, since dust is mostly an insulator, it alters the apparent resistance of the solar panel, potentially leading to overheating or short circuits, further affecting efficiency and power output. Dust also reduces the grid protection effect, as inactive ions in the dust can flow back through the grid anode pool to other electrodes. Accumulated dust affects the interrelationships between panel components, lowering overall voltage and ultimately impacting power generation and conversion efficiency. These multiple factors significantly reduce the overall performance and lifespan of the solar panel, directly affecting the stability of intelligent marine buoys in monitoring marine radioactive material concentrations.

[0030] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0031] This invention provides a smart buoy for marine applications, such as... Figure 1-12 As shown, the intelligent buoy includes: an intelligent buoy body 1, which is used to monitor the concentration of radioactive materials at sea. The intelligent buoy body 1 includes a buoy body 2, an instrument compartment 201, a data acquisition, transmission, and control terminal module 3, a battery 5, a NaI detector 6, a Beidou system 7, a data transmission antenna 8, a GM tube detector, and a solar panel 9. The instrument compartment 201 is fixedly installed inside the buoy body 2. The data acquisition, transmission, and control terminal module 3 and the battery 5 are both assembled inside the instrument compartment 201. The NaI detector 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the buoy body 2. The Beidou system 7 and the GM tube detector are both fixedly installed on the buoy body 2 by brackets. The data acquisition, transmission, and control terminal module 3 is used to process the signals measured by the NaI detector 6 and the GM tube detector. The system includes a solar panel 9 mounted on the buoy body 2 for solar power generation; a support frame 10 mounted on the buoy body 2; a placement frame 11 mounted on the support frame 10, with a cleaning frame 12 for cleaning impurities adhering to the surface of the solar panel 9; an adjustment mechanism on both the support frame 10 and the placement frame 11 for adjusting the position of the cleaning frame 12; a cleaning mechanism on both the placement frame 11 and the cleaning frame 12 for moving the cleaning frame 12 to clean dust adhering to the surface of the solar panel 9; and a control mechanism on the buoy body 2 for controlling the temperature of the buoy body 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the intelligent buoy body 1 is in use, it is installed using anchor ropes and anchors (swivels, shackles). The buoy body 2 can be detached from the anchor chain for retrieval. Monitoring points can be flexibly arranged according to monitoring needs. The NaI detector 6 on the intelligent buoy body 1 mainly measures the concentration of gamma radioactivity in seawater. During installation, the NaI detector 6 is placed at a certain depth underwater. The GM detector mainly monitors the magnitude of the absorbed dose rate in the air at the sea surface. When gamma radioactivity in the air enters the GM counter tube, it generates ionization excitation. Under the action of an applied high voltage, it can sense and generate a voltage pulse number proportional to the magnitude of the absorbed dose rate in the air, thereby measuring the magnitude of the absorbed dose rate in the air at the sea surface. The NaI detector 6 and the GM detector monitor the concentration of radioactivity in seawater and the dose rate in the air. The data acquisition, transmission, and control terminal module 3 transmits and stores the signals measured by the NaI detector 6 and the GM tube detector. By communicating with the existing environmental monitoring and control center via the BeiDou-7 signal, staff can monitor and understand the concentration of radioactive materials at sea from the background. The intelligent buoy body 1 is equipped with solar panels 9 in all four directions (front, back, left, and right). The solar panels 9 generate solar power for the entire device. The intelligent buoy body 1 is equipped with a controller, which can periodically activate the cleaning mechanism to move the cleaning frame 12 to clean the dust adhering to the surface of the solar panels 9. After cleaning one solar panel 9, the controller activates the rotation mechanism to adjust the position of the cleaning frame 12, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the next solar panel 9. Through the entire device, the concentration of nuclear radiation at sea can be effectively monitored, and the dust adhering to the solar panels 9 can be easily cleaned, reducing the corrosion and shading caused by dust on the solar panels 9. This effectively improves the power generation efficiency and service life of the solar panels 9, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the intelligent buoy body 1 in use.

[0033] It should be noted that the working mode and main functions of the data acquisition, transmission, and control terminal module 3 include, for example: Figure 12 As shown:

[0034] a) The intelligent buoy body 1 monitoring point data acquisition, transmission and control terminal module 3 is installed inside the buoy body 2;

[0035] b) The data acquisition and transmission control terminal module 3 can quickly establish a data connection with the on-site NaI detector 6 and the GM tube detector, and realize important functions such as real-time automatic acquisition, automatic analysis, automatic storage, and automatic transmission of raw data to the host computer.

[0036] c) Communication interfaces: RS232, RS485, etc.;

[0037] d) Built-in storage space, capable of continuously storing at least one year of historical monitoring data;

[0038] Power supply module: The intelligent buoy body 1 is equipped with a power supply module to power the whole system and the communication system. The solar panel 9 generates solar power and stores it in the battery 5, which can work for at least 48 hours. This is the existing technology of solar panel 9 power generation, which will not be elaborated here. In addition, the solar panel 9 is a single crystal silicon multi-channel parallel connection. If a collision occurs between the ship and some solar panels 9 break, the remaining parts can still power the instrument.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning mechanism includes: a drive motor 13 fixedly mounted on the placement frame 11; a lead screw 14 rotatably mounted on the placement frame 11, one end of the lead screw 14 being fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 13; a drive block 15 threadedly sleeved on the lead screw 14, the drive block 15 being fixedly connected to the cleaning frame 12, and a limit rod being fixedly mounted on the placement frame 11, the limit rod being slidably connected to the drive block 15.

[0040] In this embodiment, when using the cleaning mechanism, the controller starts the drive motor 13 to drive the lead screw 14 to rotate. Under the limiting action of the limit rod and the drive block 15, the lead screw 14 can stably drive the drive block 15 to move. The drive block 15 drives the cleaning frame 12 to move from top to bottom. The soft brush on the moving cleaning frame 12 contacts the surface of the solar panel 9, thereby cleaning the dust adhering to the surface of the solar panel 9, reducing the corrosion and shading caused by dust to the solar panel 9, effectively improving the power generation efficiency and service life of the solar panel 9, and thus effectively ensuring the stability of the smart buoy body 1. After the cleaning frame 12 has cleaned the surface of one solar panel 9, the controller starts the drive motor 13 to drive the cleaning frame. 12 is reset, and then the controller will start the rotation mechanism to rotate the cleaning frame 12 at a certain angle. The four solar panels 9 are evenly distributed on the buoy body 2. The rotation angle of the cleaning frame 12 can be set by the controller. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated here. The cleaning frame 12 is then adjusted to the side of another solar panel 9. Similarly, the controller starts the cleaning mechanism to clean the solar panel 9 according to the above steps. After cleaning, the next solar panel 9 is cleaned according to the above steps until the surface of the four solar panels 9 is cleaned. When cleaning the four solar panels 9 for the next time, the adjustment mechanism will rotate the cleaning frame 12 in the opposite direction, and so on.

[0041] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment mechanism includes: a power motor 16 fixedly mounted on the support frame 10; a mounting shaft 17 rotatably mounted on the support frame 10, the bottom end of the mounting shaft 17 being fixedly connected to the output shaft of the power motor 16; and a connecting frame 18 fixedly mounted on the mounting shaft 17, the connecting frame 18 being fixedly connected to the placement frame 11, and the connecting frame 18 having a clearance opening for clearing the support frame 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, when using the adjustment mechanism, after the cleaning frame 12 cleans the surface of one solar panel 9, the controller starts the drive motor 13 to reset the cleaning frame 12. Then, the controller starts the power motor 16 to rotate the mounting shaft 17, thereby rotating the connecting frame 18, which in turn rotates the cleaning frame 12 on the placement frame 11 by 90 degrees, thus adjusting the cleaning frame 12 to one side of another solar panel 9. At the same time, when the placement frame 11 rotates, the mounting bracket of Beidou 7 will not obstruct the rotation of the placement frame 11. Similarly, the controller starts the cleaning mechanism to move the cleaning frame 12 to clean the solar panel 9. After cleaning, the above steps are repeated to clean the next solar panel 9 until the cleaning of the surfaces of all four solar panels 9 is completed. When cleaning the four solar panels 9 again, the adjustment mechanism will rotate the cleaning frame 12 in the opposite direction, and so on.

[0043] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a guide groove 19 is provided on the top of the support frame 10, and a plurality of guide blocks 20 are fixedly installed on the connecting frame 18. The guide groove 19 is arranged in a ring shape, and the plurality of guide blocks 20 are slidably connected to the guide groove 19.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the connecting frame 18 rotates, the connecting frame 18 will drive multiple guide blocks 20 to rotate in the guide groove 19. On the one hand, this can improve the stability of the connecting frame 18 when rotating, and on the other hand, it can reduce the pressure on the mounting shaft 17. At the same time, the support frame 10 is provided with a drain outlet, which is connected to the guide groove 19. The drain outlet is used to drain the water accumulated in the guide groove 19 when it rains.

[0045] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the placement frame 11 is provided with a dispersing mechanism, which is used to disperse the dust cleaned on the solar panel 9 by the cleaning frame 12. The dispersing mechanism includes: a mounting cover 21 fixedly installed on one side of the placement frame 11; a placement shaft 22 rotatably installed inside the mounting cover 21, on which a plurality of fan blades 23 are fixedly installed; and two first sprockets 24 respectively fixedly sleeved on the placement shaft 22 and the lead screw 14, on which a first chain 25 is sleeved.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the lead screw 14 rotates forward to drive the cleaning frame 12 to move downward, the interaction between the first sprocket 24 and the first chain 25 can drive the multiple fan blades 23 on the placement shaft 22 to rotate. The forward-rotating fan blades 23 generate airflow that blows onto the solar panel 9 that the cleaning frame 12 is cleaning, thereby effectively dispersing the cleaned and loose dust on the solar panel 9 and improving the dust removal effect on the solar panel 9. After cleaning a solar panel 9, the controller will pause for a certain period of time before starting the drive motor 13 to drive the lead screw 14 to reverse and reset the cleaning frame 12. At this time, even if the fan blades 23 generate the opposite airflow when the lead screw 14 reverses, it does not matter that the dust has already been cleaned.

[0047] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a base 26 is mounted on the buoy body 2, the top of the base 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 10, and a guide mechanism is provided on the base 26 and the placement frame 11. The guide mechanism is used to guide the rotation of the placement frame 11. The guide mechanism includes: a slider 27 fixedly installed on the bottom of the placement frame 11; and a groove 28 formed on the base 26. The groove 28 is annular and the groove 28 and the slider 27 are slidably connected.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the adjustment mechanism rotates the placement rack 11, the placement rack 11 will drive the slider 27 to rotate in the slide groove 28. Through the cooperation of the slider 27 and the slide groove 28, the placement rack 11 can be supported, effectively improving the overall stability of the placement rack 11 during use. At the same time, a drain outlet is provided on the base 26, which is connected to the slide groove 28, so that the water accumulated in the slide groove 28 can be drained when it rains.

[0049] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the control mechanism includes: a placement box 29 fixedly installed on the buoy body 2, the top of the placement box 29 being fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 26; a semiconductor cooling chip 30 fixedly installed on the placement box 29, the semiconductor cooling chip 30 being used to cool the water in the placement box 29; a water pump 31 fixedly installed in the placement box 29; a bent pipe 32 fixedly installed on the placement box 29, the bent pipe 32 being connected to the outlet end of the water pump 31; a connecting pipe 33 fixedly installed in the buoy body 2, one end of the connecting pipe 33 being connected to the bent pipe 32, the other end of the connecting pipe 33 being connected to the placement box 29, the connecting pipe 33 being arranged in a serpentine shape; a heating plate 34 fixedly installed on the placement box 29, the heating plate 34 being used to heat the water in the placement box 29; and a heat-conducting plate 35 assembled on the placement box 29, the heat-conducting plate 35 being used to transfer the heat generated by the heating plate 34 to the placement box 29.

[0050] In this embodiment, a temperature monitor is installed inside the buoy body 2 during its use. When the temperature monitor detects that the temperature inside the buoy body 2 is too high and reaches a certain value, the temperature monitor will send a signal to the controller. The controller receives and recognizes the signal, and the controller will activate the semiconductor cooling chip 30 to cool the water in the placement tank 29. At the same time, the controller will activate the water pump 31, and the low-temperature water in the placement tank 29 will enter the connecting pipe 33 and then flow back to the placement tank 29. This cycle is repeated. The low-temperature connecting pipe 33 comes into contact with the air inside the buoy body 2. Based on the principle of heat exchange, this allows for cooling. The temperature inside the buoy body 2 is cooled down. When the temperature monitor detects that the temperature inside the buoy body 2 is too low and reaches a certain value, the temperature monitor sends a signal to the controller. The controller receives and recognizes the signal and will start the heating plate 34 to heat the water in the placement box 29. At the same time, the water pump 31 is started, and the high-temperature water circulates in the connecting pipe 33. Similarly, according to the principle of heat exchange, the high-temperature connecting pipe 33 comes into contact with the low-temperature air inside the buoy body 2, thereby heating the buoy body 2 to a certain extent and keeping the temperature of the instrument compartment 201 at an appropriate level to prevent damage to the instruments and equipment due to high temperature in summer or low temperature in winter.

[0051] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a stirring mechanism is provided on the placement box 29. The stirring mechanism is used to stir the water in the placement box 29. The stirring mechanism includes: two stirring frames 36, a servo motor 37, two second sprockets 38, and a second chain 39. The two stirring frames 36 are rotatably installed inside the placement box 29. The servo motor 37 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the placement box 29, and one end of the servo motor 37 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the stirring frames 36. The two second sprockets 38 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the two stirring frames 36, and the second chain 39 is sleeved on the two second sprockets 38.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the semiconductor cooling chip 30 cools the water in the placement box 29, the controller will start the servo motor 37. Under the interaction of the second chain 39 and the second sprocket 38, the two stirring racks 36 can be driven to rotate to stir the water in the placement box 29, thereby making the water temperature in the placement box 29 more uniform.

[0053] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of first fan blades 40 are fixedly installed on one of the stirring racks 36, the plurality of first fan blades 40 being located on one side of the servo motor 37, and a temperature sensor 41 is provided on the placement box 29, the temperature sensor 41 being used to monitor the water temperature inside the placement box 29.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the stirring rack 36 rotates, it will drive the first fan blade 40 to rotate. The first fan blade 40 will increase the airflow around the servo motor 37, thereby cooling the servo motor 37. At the same time, the temperature sensor 41 is used to monitor the water temperature in the placement box 29, so that the controller can control the semiconductor cooling chip 30 and the heating plate 34 to adjust the water temperature in the placement box 29 to a suitable temperature.

[0055] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a heat dissipation mechanism is provided on the placement box 29. The heat dissipation mechanism is used to dissipate heat from the semiconductor cooling chip 30. The heat dissipation mechanism includes: a mounting plate 42, a horizontal shaft 43, a plurality of second fan blades 44, two third sprockets 45, and a third chain 46. The mounting plate 42 is fixedly mounted on one side of the placement box 29. The horizontal shaft 43 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 42. The plurality of second fan blades 44 are all fixedly mounted on the horizontal shaft 43. The two third sprockets 45 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the horizontal shaft 43 and one of the stirring racks 36. The third chain 46 is sleeved on the two third sprockets 45.
