It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] Buoys play a vital role in ocean monitoring, navigation and communication. In order to ensure that the buoy is not damaged by external scratches during launch and navigation, and has a good fluid shape in the water, a buoy is often used to provide buoyancy. In order to further protect the buoy and ensure its hydrodynamic performance, a fairing is usually installed outside the buoy.
[0026] The fairing is designed to reduce the impact of external water flow on the buoy, reduce the resistance of water flow to the buoy, and protect the float from damage by the external environment. This design can improve the stability and hydrodynamic performance of the buoy, enabling it to better adapt to the complex water flow and wind conditions in the marine environment, thereby improving the working efficiency and service life of the buoy.
[0027] After launching and sailing, the buoy needs to deploy the buoy and inflate it to provide sufficient buoyancy to ensure that the buoy floats stably on the water surface. This process requires a reliable inflation system, which usually uses air pressure or compressed air to fill the buoy to ensure that it has sufficient buoyancy to support the buoy and the equipment it carries, such as lights, navigation equipment or communication equipment.
[0028] With respect to the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventors believe that usually the protective cover outside the float is firstly thrown away, and then the float is inflated. The overall operation time is long, making it difficult to quickly inflate and deploy the airbag.
[0029] In order to realize the linkage between the inflation and deployment of the float bag and the throwing cover action and save the time of the deployment operation, the present application provides a float bag deployment and throwing cover linkage mechanism applied to a buoy.
[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.
[0031] The present application embodiment discloses a floating bag deployment and cover throwing linkage mechanism applied to a buoy.

[0032] A disassembly assembly is provided on the fairing shell 1 above the air supply assembly 3, and the disassembly assembly can disassemble the fairing shell 1, thereby canceling the fixation between the fairing shell 1 and the air supply assembly 3, and the airbag is deployed under the drive of the air supply assembly 3, and then the outer fairing shell 1 is discarded.
[0033] The gas supply assembly 3 includes a gas cylinder compartment 31, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the gas cylinder seat 2, and the top end of which is fixedly connected to a gas cylinder compartment cover 32.

[0035] A gas cylinder 33 is fixedly connected inside the gas cylinder compartment 31, the bottom end of the gas cylinder 33 is fixedly connected to the base of the gas cylinder compartment 31, and the gas outlet of the gas cylinder 33 is fixedly connected to a gas path 34, and the end of the gas path 34 away from the gas cylinder 33 is fixedly connected to a gas nozzle 35, and the gas outlet end of the gas nozzle 35 extends from the side wall of the gas cylinder compartment 31 and is relatively fixedly connected and communicated with the gas inlet of the floating bag 4.

[0036] The fairing shell 1 includes a fairing cover 11 located at the top, and the top outer wall of the fairing cover 11 is an arc-shaped structure to facilitate better aerodynamic layout.

[0042] When the buoy receives the command to expand the float bag 4 and inflate the gas cylinder 33, the explosive bolt installed at the upper end of the fairing shell 1 is first ignited to release the constraint on the upper end of the fairing shell 1, and then the gas cylinder 33 is inflated, and the float bag 4 is expanded. While the float bag 4 is expanded, it squeezes the first fairing shell 12 and the second fairing shell 13 installed on the outside thereof. The first fairing shell 12 and the second fairing shell 13 are squeezed out and thrown into the water, and the float bag 4 continues to extend outward until it is fully expanded.
