Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air-sea cross-medium communication, and in particular to a bionic adsorption-type cross-domain communication gateway system. Background Art

[0002] Air-sea cross-medium communication is a key issue in the field of ocean observation. Since radio waves decay rapidly underwater and sound waves cannot break through the sea surface, communication in traditional signal frequency bands requires the help of relay nodes. The cross-domain communication gateway technology effectively solves this problem. As a relay node, it supports wireless and underwater acoustic dual-mode communication.

[0003] However, the existing air-sea cross-domain communication gateways are bulky, have single functions, and lack intelligent communication mode switching mechanisms. They also have problems such as limited range of activities and poor endurance.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a bionic adsorption-type cross-domain communication gateway system. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0015] Reference Figure 1-2This embodiment provides a bionic adsorption cross-domain communication gateway system, which realizes small-volume, low-power, and high-reliability intelligent communication on and under water by integrating an adsorption module, a dual-mode communication module, a water outlet detection module, and an instruction storage system. It includes: a main controller, a remote control receiving module, a power management module, a water outlet detection module, a dual-mode communication module, and an adsorption module, and the remote control receiving module, the power management module, the water outlet detection module, the dual-mode communication module, and the adsorption module are all controlled and connected to the main controller.

[0016] Among them, the main controller is used to store, forward and apply data information and instruction information.

[0017] The remote control receiving module is used to receive the information of starting the adsorption module. When the adsorption module needs to be turned on so that the adsorption cross-domain communication gateway system is adsorbed to the marine mammal, the remote control sends a signal, and the remote control receiving module receives the information to the main controller. The main controller controls the power management module to supply power to the adsorption module, thereby controlling the adsorption module to work.

[0018] The power management module includes a battery and a voltage conversion device, which is used to supply power to each functional module.

[0019] The water outflow detection module is used to determine whether the gateway system is exposed to the water surface. The water outflow detection module includes: a light sensor, a humidity sensor, and an air pressure sensor. The light sensor is used to detect sudden changes in light intensity to determine whether the gateway system is exposed to the water surface. The humidity sensor is used to monitor changes in humidity on the surface of the gateway system to assist in confirming the water outflow status. The air pressure sensor is used to distinguish between water depth and water surface environment. Trigger condition: When light intensity > threshold, humidity < threshold, and air pressure ≈ atmospheric pressure, it is determined to be in the water outflow status.

[0020] The dual-mode communication module is used to realize above-water and underwater data transmission. The dual-mode communication module includes: underwater communication mode and surface communication mode. The underwater communication mode adopts a low-power hydroacoustic communication module to support short-distance data transmission. The surface communication mode integrates a micro RF module or a satellite communication interface, and automatically switches to radio / satellite communication after emerging from the water. The communication mode switching is triggered by the water emergence detection module to achieve seamless connection.

[0021] Preferably, the dual-mode communication module includes a relay satellite communication module and an underwater acoustic communication module, wherein the underwater acoustic communication module includes an underwater acoustic communication dry end and an omnidirectional transducer.

[0022] The relay satellite communication module is activated when a mammal is detected to be out of water and executes preset instructions, and is shut down when a mammal enters the water.

[0023] The underwater acoustic communication module is turned off when a mammal is detected to be out of water, turned on when a mammal is detected to be back into water, and executes preset instructions to exchange information.

[0024] Reference Figure 4 After the bionic adsorption cross-domain communication gateway system of the present invention is deployed, it is adsorbed on the underwater target (larger marine mammals), continuously monitors environmental data or other communication data and transmits it through underwater acoustic communication. When the marine organisms emerge from the water, the water outflow detection module triggers the mode switch, starts the radio frequency module / relay satellite communication module to upload data to the land base station, and receives new instructions. If the adsorption fails, the device starts the floating mode and sends a distress signal through satellite communication.

[0025] The adsorption module is used to adsorb the epidermis of the target animal. Specifically, the adsorption surface of the adsorption module has a bionic microstructure to enhance the adaptability to surfaces with different curvatures. The interior of the adsorption module has a negative pressure chamber to fit the target surface through the passive adsorption principle.

[0026] like Figure 3 The adsorption module is preferably an underwater electric suction cup. Specifically, the main controller receives the remote control signal through the remote control receiving module to start the underwater electric suction cup. The switch state of the underwater electric suction cup can be determined by choosing whether to supply power to it. When the underwater electric suction cup is turned on, the suction cup integrated pressure sensor monitors the adsorption state in real time. After detecting that the suction cup is in uniform contact with the target object, the water pump in the cavity works to pump water and send seawater into the cavity. After the pumping is completed, the water pump port is sealed to obtain greater suction. If the adsorption fails, an alarm is triggered and re-adsorption is attempted. At the same time, the main controller can also pre-store standardized instruction sets (such as "upload data", "switch mode", "release adsorption", etc.); support dynamic writing of external instructions, and receive remote control signals through the dual-mode communication module; instruction execution is event-driven, such as automatically sending positioning information after exiting the water or waking up at a preset time interval.

[0027] The bionic adsorption cross-domain communication gateway in the present invention is small in size and highly concealed, suitable for long-term deployment. It achieves high-reliability adsorption through negative pressure chambers and bionic microstructures, prolongs battery life, and provides real-time feedback from pressure sensors and triggers adsorption compensation. It also integrates hydroacoustic and radio technologies, combines multi-sensor water outlet detection, and automatically switches to an efficient communication mode after water outlet to ensure communication continuity, expand application scenarios, and extend battery life with a low-power design. It automatically executes pre-stored instructions based on environmental conditions (such as water outlets, adsorption failure), improves response efficiency, and solves the problems of existing air-sea cross-domain communication gateways, which are large in size, single in function, lack an intelligent communication mode switching mechanism, have a limited range of activity, and have poor battery life.

[0028] The working method of the bionic adsorption-type cross-domain communication gateway in this embodiment is specifically as follows: When the target marine mammal appears, the remote control transmits a signal to the remote control receiving module, and the remote control receiving module transmits the signal to the main controller. The main controller controls the power management module to power the underwater electric suction cup, and the underwater electric suction cup works and adsorbs on the skin of the target marine mammal. When the mammal is detected floating to the surface, the dual-mode communication module switches the communication mode to relay satellite communication and transmits the data information back to the land base station. When the mammal is detected sinking underwater, the relay satellite communication mode is turned off and the underwater acoustic communication mode is turned on to exchange information.

[0029] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
