DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] See attached Figures 1 to 4FIG. 1 shows a multifunctional water quality detection device capable of generating power by wave and self-cruising in the present invention, comprising a floating plate 1 floating on the sea surface, a transmission rod 2 connected to the bottom of the floating plate, the transmission rod 2 being fixedly connected to a driving wheel group fixed on a wheel frame 3, a driving wheel 4 in the driving wheel group being externally connected to a transmission wheel group through a connecting rod 5, a transmission wheel 6 in the transmission wheel group being meshed with a power generation wheel group, and the power generation wheel group being connected to an input end of a generator 7 to convert wave energy into electrical energy.

[0028] In this embodiment, the driving wheel group includes a driving wheel 4 and a synchronous belt 8. The driving wheels 4 are arranged one up and one down on the wheel frame 3 along the longitudinal direction of the wheel frame 3. The driving wheels 4 are connected by the synchronous belt 8. When the synchronous belt 8 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the upper and lower driving wheels 4 are driven to rotate simultaneously.

[0029] In this embodiment, the transmission rod 2 is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 8 via the bite clamp 9, driving the synchronous belt 8 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby driving the driving wheel 4 to rotate.

[0030] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a transmission wheel 6 , which is connected to both sides of the driving wheel 4 in the driving wheel group through a connecting rod 5 and rotates with the driving wheel 4 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the generator wheel group includes a generator wheel 10, which is arranged between the upper and lower transmission wheels 6 and meshes with the upper and lower transmission wheels 6. The generator wheel 10 is connected to the input end of the generator 7 through a shaft.

[0032] In this embodiment, a paddle board 11 is provided on the outer side of the transmission wheel 6. The paddle board 11 is connected to the transmission wheel 6 through an axis and rotates with the transmission wheel 6. The sliding of the paddle board 11 drives the wave power generation device forward, thereby increasing the movement range of the wave power generation device.

[0033] In this embodiment, a water quality monitoring probe 12 is provided on the paddle board 11, and the water quality monitoring probe 12 monitors the water quality of the sea area where the wave power generation device is currently located.

[0034] In this embodiment, the floating plate 1 is a bowl-shaped structure, and a plurality of strip openings 13 are evenly arranged from top to bottom on the side wall of the floating plate 1, and a side plate 14 is arranged in the opening 13. The side plates 14 and the side walls of the floating plate 1 are staggered so that external seawater can enter and exit the floating plate 1 along the gap between the side plates 14 and the side walls of the floating plate 1, so that the floating plate 1 can cope with more severe sea conditions. When the waves are too large, the waves can directly pass through the floating plate 1 instead of directly hitting the floating plate 1, thereby improving the self-stability of the floating plate 1 and enabling the entire wave power generation device to adapt to a variety of different sea conditions.

[0035] The working method of the multifunctional water quality detection device that can generate electricity by waves and cruise by itself is specific: the floating plate 1 rises and falls with the waves, driving the transmission rod 2 to move up and down, the transmission rod 2 is fixed to the synchronous belt 8 by the bite clamp 9, driving the synchronous belt 8 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, the rotation of the synchronous belt 8 drives the driving wheel 4 to rotate, the driving wheel 4 drives the transmission wheel 6 to rotate through the connecting rod 5, and the power generation wheel 10 meshing with the transmission wheel 6 follows the rotation of the transmission wheel 6 to provide kinetic energy to the generator 10, which is converted into electrical energy for power generation.

[0036] At the same time, the transmission wheel 6 drives the paddle plate 11 arranged outside the transmission wheel 6 to rotate together during the rotation process, providing forward movement power to the wave power generation device, increasing the movement range of the wave power generation device, and increasing the sea area where the wave power generation device can monitor water quality.

[0037] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed by the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
