Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ocean observation, and specifically relates to a subsurface buoy for ocean observation and its working method. Background Art

[0002] When a subsurface buoy for ocean observation is in normal use, it needs to float up and dive frequently. In the prior art, a floating ball is generally installed on the subsurface buoy to achieve the floating of the subsurface buoy. When realizing the diving of the subsurface buoy, a heavy object is usually installed at the bottom end of the subsurface buoy to achieve the diving of the subsurface buoy. Both of these floating and diving methods cannot control the specific diving depth, and at the same time, it is necessary to frequently install and discard heavy objects to achieve floating and diving, which urgently needs to be improved.

[0003] At the same time, in order to fix the currently used subsurface buoy on the sea surface, a fixed anchor is usually installed at the bottom end of the subsurface buoy. When fixing, the subsurface buoy and the fixed anchor are usually driven to dive by the gravity of the subsurface buoy itself, and finally the fixed anchor is inserted into the sea surface. This fixing method has poor fixing stability of the fixed anchor, limited insertion depth of the fixed anchor, and is easily interfered by ocean currents, resulting in the detachment of the fixed anchor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a subsurface buoy for ocean observation and its working method to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A subsurface buoy for ocean observation includes a bottom plate. A rubber floating bladder is fixedly installed on the outer side surface of the bottom plate. A first three-way valve is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom end of the bottom plate. A water pump is installed at the bottom end of the first three-way valve. The output end of the water pump is communicated with the top end of the first three-way valve. An ocean observation instrument is fixedly installed on the top end of the bottom plate. An adjusting assembly is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the ocean observation instrument. A pressurizing assembly located directly above the rubber floating bladder is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the adjusting assembly. The bottom end of the pressurizing assembly penetrates through the bottom end of the bottom plate and is fixedly installed with an anchor throwing assembly. A first water delivery pipe is fixedly communicated with both the left and right sides of the first three-way valve. The other end of the first water delivery pipe penetrates through the top end of the bottom plate and is fixedly communicated with a second three-way valve. The relatively closer ends of the two second three-way valves are fixedly communicated with a second water delivery pipe. The other ends of the two second water delivery pipes are communicated with the left and right ends of the adjusting assembly. A water injection pipe is fixedly communicated with the top ends of the two second three-way valves. The other end of the water injection pipe is communicated with the left and right sides of the top end of the rubber floating bladder. Drain valves are fixedly communicated with both the front and rear sides of the bottom end of the rubber floating bladder. The drain valves are one-way valves, and the valve direction is outward conduction and inward cut-off.

[0006] During normal use, no clear water is stored inside the rubber floating bladder. At this time, the device can float on the water surface through the rubber floating bladder, and the device is in a floating state.

[0007] When the device needs to dive, the water area can be pumped by turning on the water pump. At this time, the water flow enters the inside of the first three-way valve, and after being distributed by the first water pipe, it enters the inside of the second three-way valve. And part of the water flow can be introduced into the inside of the adjustment component through the second water pipe for temporary storage, while the other part of the water flow is injected into the inside of the rubber floating bladder through the injection pipe, making the volume of the rubber floating bladder increase. At this time, the weight of the device increases, and the device completes the diving operation accordingly.

[0008] By using the water flow in the water area environment as a pressurization means, the diving process of the device can be quickly realized by sucking the water flow when needed. The whole process can be completed quickly, that is, the device in the floating state is quickly changed to the diving state without hanging heavy objects, significantly improving the diving speed of the device and the overall working efficiency.

[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the adjustment component includes a locking frame, the locking frame is connected to the top end of the bottom plate, a temporary storage pipe is fixedly sleeved on the inner side surface of the locking frame, a water storage tank is arranged at the top end of the temporary storage pipe, and the left and right ends of the water storage tank are fixedly communicated with two second water pipes.

[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the middle part of the bottom end of the water storage tank is fixedly communicated with an electromagnetic reversing valve, and the bottom end of the electromagnetic reversing valve is communicated with the top end of the temporary storage pipe.

[0011] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a piston plate is movably sleeved inside the temporary storage pipe, a piston rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the piston plate, the bottom end of the piston rod penetrates the bottom end of the temporary storage pipe and is connected to the pressurization component, and a limiting spring is movably sleeved on the outer side surface of the piston rod. The upper and lower ends of the limiting spring are respectively connected to the bottom end of the piston plate and the bottom end of the inner cavity of the temporary storage pipe.

[0012] When the device needs to quickly float, the valve of the drain valve can be opened to release the clear water inside the rubber floating bladder. At the same time, the valve of the electromagnetic reversing valve can be opened, and its valve direction is controlled to conduct outward and cut off inward. At this time, the clear water inside the water storage tank enters the inside of the temporary storage pipe and exerts a force on the piston plate. At this time, the piston plate and the piston rod move downward, and the limiting spring is compressed. When the piston rod moves downward, a force can be exerted on the pressurization component;

[0013] When the device is not in the floating state, the valve of the electromagnetic reversing valve can be changed to conduct inward and cut off outward. At this time, the clear water flows back into the water storage tank through the temporary storage pipe to complete the recovery process. After all the clear water inside the temporary storage pipe is completely recovered, the valve of the electromagnetic reversing valve can be closed.

[0014] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the pressurizing assembly includes a movable frame, the middle of the top end of the movable frame is connected to the bottom end of the piston rod. The pressurizing assembly further includes longitudinal guide rails installed on the top end of the bottom plate near the left and right sides. Longitudinal guide blocks are fixedly installed at positions of the movable frame near the left and right sides. The movable frame is movably clamped between the longitudinal guide blocks and the longitudinal guide rails.

[0015] As a further technical solution of the present invention, pressure plates are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the movable frame and are located directly above the rubber floating bladder. Extension rods are fixedly installed at positions of the bottom end of the movable frame near the left and right sides. The bottom ends of the extension rods penetrate through the bottom end of the bottom plate and are connected to the anchoring assembly.

[0016] When the piston rod moves downward, the movable frame can be driven to move downward at this time. At this time, the movable frame can move downward under the guiding action of the longitudinal guide blocks and the longitudinal guide rails, and at the same time drive the pressure plates and the extension rods to move downward. When the pressure plates move downward, pressure can be applied to the rubber floating bladder and the rubber floating bladder can be squeezed, so that the clear water inside the rubber floating bladder is quickly emptied, accelerating the reduction of the device weight and accelerating the floating process.

[0017] By utilizing the clear water stored when the device dives and releasing it when needed, the device can not only flow out naturally, but also realize automatic extrusion of the rubber floating bladder, enabling it to quickly empty the water flow. The whole process can be completed automatically, enabling the device to quickly switch to the floating state after diving, without the need to frequently install and discard heavy objects, and can quickly switch between the floating and diving states, significantly improving work efficiency.

[0018] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the anchoring assembly includes a mounting plate, the top end of the mounting plate is connected to the extension rod, and a mounting rod is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom end of the mounting plate.

[0019] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a fixed anchor is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the mounting rod, and the fixed anchor is in an inverted hook shape.

[0020] During normal diving, the downward movement of the device can drive the mounting plate, the mounting rod, and the fixed anchor to move downward until the fixed anchor is inserted into the sea level. When the initial fixation is completed, the device can be changed to the floating state, that is, the extension rod moves downward. At this time, the mounting plate, the mounting rod, and the fixed anchor can be further pushed downward. At the same time, while squeezing the rubber floating bladder, the water pump can be turned on to quickly replenish the water flow inside the rubber floating bladder, so that the water flow inside the rubber floating bladder can be replenished before the device floats. When the extension rod moves downward, the fixed anchor can be driven to continue moving downward until the fixed anchor is inserted deep into the sea level to complete the secondary fixation process.

[0021] By utilizing the extrusion process when the device floats up, the water can be quickly emptied and the anchor assembly can be continuously pressurized. This allows the device to fix the anchor assembly by gravity while also achieving a secondary fixation process through active pressurization, thereby increasing the insertion depth, reducing the stability of falling off caused by too shallow an insertion depth, and improving the working stability of the device on the seabed.

[0022] A method for operating a submerged buoy for ocean observation comprises the following steps:

[0023] S1: Under normal conditions, there is no clean water stored in the rubber buoy. At this time, the device floats on the water surface. When the device needs to dive, the water flow can be extracted by turning on the water pump. The extracted water flow can enter the interior of the No. 1 three-way valve and enter the interior of the No. 2 three-way valve through the first water pipes at both ends of the No. 1 three-way valve. Part of the water flow can be discharged through the second water pipe, and part of the water flow can be injected into the rubber buoy through the water injection pipe. At this time, the weight of the rubber buoy increases, and the device dives accordingly.

[0024] S2: When the device needs to float, the valve of the electromagnetic reversing valve can be opened, and the valve opening direction can be controlled to be connected to the temporary storage tube. At this time, the water flow can enter the interior of the temporary storage tube and push the piston plate and the piston rod downward. At this time, the movable frame can be pushed downward synchronously, and the pressure plate can be driven downward to compress the rubber floating bag, so that the water flow is quickly discharged through the drain valve, and the device is floated;

[0025] S3: When diving, the fixed anchor can be moved downward by the gravity of the device itself, so that it can be inserted into the sea level. At the same time, after reaching the sea level, the extension rod can be driven downward by the action of the adjustment component and the pressure component, and the fixed anchor can be driven downward to extend into the sea level. At the same time, the water pump can be quickly turned on to supplement the water flow inside the rubber float to complete the seabed anchoring process.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0027] (1) The present invention utilizes the clean water stored in the device when it dives and releases it when needed, so that the device can automatically squeeze the rubber float bag while naturally flowing out, so that it can quickly empty the water flow. The whole process can be completed automatically, so that the device can quickly switch to the floating state after diving. There is no need to frequently install and discard heavy objects. The device can quickly switch between the floating and diving states, which significantly improves work efficiency.

[0028] (2) By utilizing the extrusion process during the upward floating of the device, the present invention enables the rapid drainage of water flow while continuously pressurizing the anchor assembly. This allows the device to not only fix the anchor assembly by relying on gravity but also achieve secondary fixation through active pressurization, thereby increasing the insertion depth, reducing the detachment stability caused by too shallow insertion depth, and enhancing the working stability of the device on the seabed.

[0029] (3) By using the water flow in the water area environment as a pressurization means, the present invention can quickly achieve the diving process of the device by sucking water flow when needed. The entire process can be completed rapidly, that is, quickly transforming the device in the floating state into the diving state without hanging heavy objects, significantly increasing the diving rate of the device and improving the overall working efficiency.

Detailed implementation mode

[0039] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0040] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a subsurface buoy for ocean observation includes a bottom plate 1. A rubber float bladder 2 is fixedly installed on the outer side surface of the bottom plate 1. A first three-way valve 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom end of the bottom plate 1. A water pump 3 is installed at the bottom end of the first three-way valve 4. The output end of the water pump 3 is communicated with the top end of the first three-way valve 4. An ocean observation instrument 13 is fixedly installed on the top end of the bottom plate 1. An adjustment assembly 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the ocean observation instrument 13. A pressurization assembly 11 located directly above the rubber float bladder 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the adjustment assembly 10. The bottom end of the pressurization assembly 11 penetrates through the bottom end of the bottom plate 1 and is fixedly installed with an anchor assembly 12. Both the left and right sides of the first three-way valve 4 are fixedly communicated with a first water delivery pipe 5. The other end of the first water delivery pipe 5 penetrates through the top end of the bottom plate 1 and is fixedly communicated with a second three-way valve 6. The relatively close ends of the two second three-way valves 6 are fixedly communicated with a second water delivery pipe 7. The other ends of the two second water delivery pipes 7 are communicated with the left and right ends of the adjustment assembly 10. The top ends of the two second three-way valves 6 are fixedly communicated with a water injection pipe 8. The other end of the water injection pipe 8 is communicated with the left and right sides at the top end of the rubber float bladder 2. Both the front and rear sides of the bottom end of the rubber float bladder 2 are fixedly communicated with a drain valve 9. The drain valve 9 is a one-way valve, and the valve direction is outward conduction and inward cut-off.

[0041] During normal use, no clear water is stored inside the rubber float bladder 2. At this time, the device can float on the water surface through the rubber float bladder 2, and the device is in a floating state at this time;

[0042] When the device needs to dive, the water pump 3 can be turned on to pump the water area. At this time, the water flow enters the inside of the first three-way valve 4, and after being distributed by the first water delivery pipe 5, it enters the inside of the second three-way valve 6. And part of the water flow can be introduced into the inside of the adjustment assembly 10 through the second water delivery pipe 7 for temporary storage, while the other part of the water flow is injected into the inside of the rubber float bladder 2 through the water injection pipe 8, so that the volume of the rubber float bladder 2 increases. At this time, the weight of the device increases, and the device completes the diving operation accordingly.

[0043] By utilizing the water flow in the water area as a pressurizing means, when needed, the device can quickly dive by sucking in the water flow. The whole process can be completed quickly, that is, the device in the floating state can be quickly changed to the diving state without hanging heavy objects, significantly improving the diving speed of the device and the overall working efficiency.

[0044] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the adjusting assembly 10 includes a locking frame 101. The locking frame 101 is connected to the top end of the bottom plate 1. A temporary storage pipe 104 is fixedly sleeved on the inner side surface of the locking frame 101. A water storage tank 102 is provided at the top end of the temporary storage pipe 104. The left and right ends of the water storage tank 102 are fixedly communicated with the two second water pipes 7. A solenoid directional valve 103 is fixedly communicated with the middle of the bottom end of the water storage tank 102. The bottom end of the solenoid directional valve 103 is communicated with the top end of the temporary storage pipe 104. A piston plate 105 is movably sleeved inside the temporary storage pipe 104. A piston rod 106 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the piston plate 105. The bottom end of the piston rod 106 penetrates through the bottom end of the temporary storage pipe 104 and is connected to the pressurizing assembly 11. A limiting spring 107 is movably sleeved on the outer side surface of the piston rod 106. The upper and lower ends of the limiting spring 107 are respectively connected to the bottom end of the piston plate 105 and the bottom end of the inner cavity of the temporary storage pipe 104.

[0045] When the device needs to quickly float, the valve of the drain valve 9 can be opened to release the clear water inside the rubber floating bladder 2. At the same time, the valve of the solenoid directional valve 103 can be opened and its valve direction can be controlled to conduct outward and cut off inward. At this time, the clear water inside the water storage tank 102 enters the inside of the temporary storage pipe 104 and applies a force to the piston plate 105. At this time, the piston plate 105 and the piston rod 106 move downward, and the limiting spring 107 is compressed. When the piston rod 106 moves downward, a force can be applied to the pressurizing assembly 11;

[0046] When the device is not in the floating state, the valve of the solenoid directional valve 103 can be changed to conduct inward and cut off outward. At this time, the clear water flows back into the water storage tank 102 through the temporary storage pipe 104 to complete the recovery process. After all the clear water inside the temporary storage pipe 104 is completely recovered, the valve of the solenoid directional valve 103 can be closed.

[0047] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown in the figure, the pressurizing assembly 11 includes a movable frame 112. The middle of the top end of the movable frame 112 is connected to the bottom end of the piston rod 106. The pressurizing assembly 11 further includes longitudinal guide rails 111 installed on the top of the bottom plate 1 near the left and right sides. Longitudinal guide blocks 113 are fixedly installed at positions near the left and right sides of the movable frame 112. The movable frame 112 is movably clamped between the longitudinal guide blocks 113 and the longitudinal guide rails 111. Pressurizing plates 114 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the movable frame 112 and are located directly above the rubber floating bladder 2. Extension rods 115 are fixedly installed at positions near the left and right sides of the bottom end of the movable frame 112. The bottom ends of the extension rods 115 penetrate through the bottom end of the bottom plate 1 and are connected to the anchor assembly 12.

[0048] Embodiment: When the piston rod 106 moves downward, the movable frame 112 can be driven to move downward at this time. At this time, the movable frame 112 can move downward under the guiding action of the longitudinal guide blocks 113 and the longitudinal guide rails 111, and at the same time drive the pressurizing plates 114 and the extension rods 115 to move downward. When the pressurizing plates 114 move downward, pressure can be applied to the rubber floating bladder 2 and the rubber floating bladder 2 can be squeezed, so that the clear water inside the rubber floating bladder 2 is quickly emptied, accelerating the reduction of the device weight and accelerating the upward floating process.

[0049] By utilizing the clear water stored when the device dives and releasing it when needed, the device can automatically squeeze the rubber floating bladder 2 while the water naturally flows out, so that the water in the rubber floating bladder 2 is quickly emptied. The whole process can be automatically completed, enabling the device to quickly switch to the upward floating state after diving, without the need to frequently install and discard heavy objects, and can quickly switch between the upward floating and diving states, significantly improving work efficiency.

[0050] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the anchor assembly 12 includes a mounting disc 121. The top end of the mounting disc 121 is connected to the extension rod 115. The middle of the bottom end of the mounting disc 121 is fixedly installed with a mounting rod 122. The bottom end of the mounting rod 122 is fixedly installed with a fixed anchor 123, and the fixed anchor 123 is in an inverted hook shape.

[0051] Embodiment: During normal diving, the downward movement of the device can drive the mounting disc 121, the mounting rod 122 and the fixed anchor 123 to move downward until the fixed anchor 123 is inserted into the sea level. When the initial fixation is completed, the device can be changed to the upward floating state, that is, the extension rod 115 moves downward. At this time, the mounting disc 121, the mounting rod 122 and the fixed anchor 123 can be further pushed downward. At the same time, while squeezing the rubber floating bladder 2, the water pump 3 can be turned on to quickly replenish the water inside the rubber floating bladder 2, so that the water inside the rubber floating bladder 2 can be replenished before the device floats. When the extension rod 115 moves downward, the fixed anchor 123 can be driven to move downward continuously until the fixed anchor 123 is inserted deep into the sea level to complete the secondary fixation process.

[0052] By utilizing the extrusion process when the device floats up, the water can be quickly emptied and the anchor assembly 12 can be continuously pressurized. This allows the device to fix the anchor assembly 12 by gravity while also achieving a secondary fixation process through active pressurization, thereby increasing the insertion depth, reducing the stability of falling off caused by too shallow an insertion depth, and improving the working stability of the device on the seabed.

[0053] A method for operating a submerged buoy for ocean observation comprises the following steps:

[0054] S1: Under normal conditions, no clean water is stored in the rubber buoy 2, and the device floats on the water surface. When the device needs to dive, the water flow can be extracted by turning on the water pump 3. The extracted water flow can enter the interior of the No. 1 three-way valve 4, and enter the interior of the No. 2 three-way valve 6 through the first water pipe 5 at both ends of the No. 1 three-way valve 4. Part of the water flow can be discharged through the second water pipe 7, and part of the water flow can be injected into the rubber buoy 2 through the water injection pipe 8. At this time, the weight of the rubber buoy 2 increases, and the device dives accordingly;

[0055] S2: When the device needs to float, the valve of the electromagnetic reversing valve 103 can be opened, and the valve opening direction can be controlled to be connected to the temporary storage tube 104. At this time, the water flow can enter the interior of the temporary storage tube 104 and push the piston plate 105 and the piston rod 106 to move downward. At this time, the movable frame 112 can be pushed downward synchronously, and the pressure plate 114 can be driven downward to compress the rubber floating bag 2, so that the water flow is quickly discharged through the drain valve 9, and the device is floated;

[0056] S3: When diving, the fixed anchor 123 can be moved downward by the gravity of the device itself, so that it can be inserted into the sea level. After reaching the sea level, the extension rod 115 can be driven downward by the action of the adjustment component 10 and the pressure component 11, and the fixed anchor 123 can be driven downward to extend into the sea level. At the same time, the water pump 3 can be quickly turned on to supplement the water flow inside the rubber float 2 to complete the seabed anchoring process.

[0057] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

9. The method for operating a submerged buoy for ocean observation according to claim 8, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1: Under normal conditions, no clean water is stored in the rubber buoy (2), and the device floats on the water surface. When the device needs to dive, the water pump (3) is turned on to extract water. The extracted water enters the interior of the No. 1 three-way valve (4), and enters the interior of the No. 2 three-way valve (6) through the first water pipe (5) at both ends of the No. 1 three-way valve (4). Part of the water is discharged through the second water pipe (7), and part of the water is injected into the rubber buoy (2) through the water injection pipe (8). At this time, the weight of the rubber buoy (2) increases, and the device dives accordingly. S2: When the device needs to float, the valve of the electromagnetic reversing valve (103) is opened, and the valve opening direction is controlled to be connected to the temporary storage tube (104). At this time, water flows into the interior of the temporary storage tube (104) and pushes the piston plate (105) and the piston rod (106) to move downward. At this time, the movable frame (112) is simultaneously pushed downward, and the pressure plate (114) is driven downward to compress the rubber floating bag (2), so that the water flows quickly through the drain valve (9), and the device is floated; S3: When diving, the fixed anchor (123) is moved downward by the gravity of the device itself, so that it is inserted into the sea surface. After reaching the sea surface, the extension rod (115) is driven downward by the action of the adjustment component (10) and the pressure component (11), and the fixed anchor (123) is driven downward to extend into the sea surface. At the same time, the water pump (3) is quickly turned on to replenish the water flow inside the rubber float (2), completing the seabed anchoring process.
