[0058] In the description, claims, and drawings of the present invention, terms such as "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally further include steps or units not listed, or may optionally further include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0059] Reference to "embodiment" in the present invention means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The phrase appears in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0060] A beacon machine is an instrument device that can transmit specific identification signals to the outside world, and can send information such as the current time, its own longitude and latitude, and altitude. It is mainly deployed on ocean buoys and other underwater devices to real-time locate the current position when the device floats on the water surface, and to monitor and recover the device.

[0061] Since the beacon machine needs to work in the ocean for a long time, there is a high demand for the battery life of the beacon machine. However, the current beacon machines have a large power consumption and a poor battery life, and their working time in the ocean is limited. Moreover, in order to detect whether the beacon machine enters the water, a pressure sensor is usually set on the beacon machine in the traditional beacon machine. The pressure is detected through the pressure sensor, and whether the beacon machine enters or exits the water is judged by the pressure. However, this method has a high cost and a complex structure design.

[0062] Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention provide a working method and a storage medium for a beacon machine. A detection probe is used to replace the pressure sensor to detect whether the beacon machine enters the water, thereby reducing the cost and simplifying the design. At the same time, after the beacon machine enters the water, only the main control module operates normally with a low power consumption, while other circuit modules are in a sleep state, thereby reducing the power consumption of the beacon machine and improving the battery life of the beacon machine. In addition, when the beacon machine exits the water, the positioning module and the communication module are controlled to perform positioning intermittently, and the positioning frequency is dynamically adjusted according to the position change of the beacon machine, so as to ensure both accurate positioning of the beacon machine and further reduction of the power consumption of the beacon machine.

[0063] The following will describe in detail the working method and the storage medium of the beacon machine according to the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] On the one hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides a beacon machine, which includes a housing and two detection probes arranged at intervals. A rechargeable battery, a control board, and a communication board are sequentially electrically connected inside the housing. A main control module 400, a power conversion module, and a power control module 600 are arranged on the control board. A communication module 1000 and a positioning module 1100 are arranged on the communication board. The detection probe penetrates through the housing, with one end located outside the housing and the other end electrically connected to the main control module 400.

[0065] Specifically, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the housing includes a housing 100, an end cover 300, and a bottom cover 200. A battery compartment 150 and a control compartment 140 that communicate with each other are arranged inside the housing 100. A first convex edge 160 is arranged between the battery compartment 150 and the control compartment 140. The rechargeable battery is placed in the battery compartment 150. The communication board and the control board are connected by a connector, and the communication board is located above the control board. The control board is placed on the surface of the first convex edge 160. A first positioning hole 110 is arranged at the bottom of the housing 100. The bottom cover 200 is provided with a second positioning hole 210 adapted to the first positioning hole 110. The bottom cover 200 is fixed to the bottom of the housing 100 by a first fastener passing through the first positioning hole 110 and the second positioning hole 210. A second convex edge 120 is arranged on the outer side of the top of the housing 100. The second convex edge 120 is provided with a third positioning hole 121. The bottom of the end cover 300 is provided with a fourth positioning hole 310 adapted to the third positioning hole 121. The end cover 300 is fixed to the surface of the second convex edge 120 by a second fastener passing through the third positioning hole 121 and the fourth positioning hole 310. The detection probe is arranged inside the end cover 300, and the end cover 300 is in the shape of a hemisphere. As Figure 4 shown, a fourth positioning hole 161 is arranged on the first convex edge 160. The control board is fixed to the first convex edge 160 through the fourth positioning hole 161. The rechargeable battery is used to supply power to the control board and the communication board. Through the first fastener and the second fastener, a tight connection between the housing 100, the end cover 300, and the bottom cover 200 is realized. This connection method is not only simple and easy to implement, but also ensures that the beacon machine can maintain the structural integrity in a harsh marine environment, effectively preventing the intrusion of moisture and other harmful substances.

[0066] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, at the connection position between the bottom cover 200 and the outer shell 100, a first sealing ring groove 220 is provided. At the connection position between the outer shell 100 and the end cover 300, a second sealing ring groove 130 is provided. Both the first sealing ring groove 220 and the second sealing ring groove 130 are used to place sealing rings, so as to realize the sealed connection between the outer shell 100 and the bottom cover 200 and the end cover 300. This sealing design not only effectively prevents the intrusion of moisture and other harmful substances, but also improves the waterproof performance and overall durability of the beacon machine. Especially in the harsh marine environment, this sealing structure can ensure that the electronic components and circuits inside the beacon machine are not damaged, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the beacon machine.

[0067] Specifically, the outer shell 100 of the beacon machine in this embodiment is made of corrosion-resistant and high-strength materials to ensure that the beacon machine can work stably for a long time in the harsh marine environment. The end cover 300 is designed in a hemispherical shape, which enhances the pressure resistance of the beacon machine and makes the beacon machine more stable underwater. Two detection probes are arranged inside the end cover 300. One end of the detection probe protrudes outside the end cover 300, and can be connected to each other through the directional movement of charged ions in the external seawater; the other end of the detection probe is arranged inside the end cover 300 and is electrically connected to the main control module 400 through a wire. When the beacon machine enters the water, the two detection probes are connected to each other under the action of seawater. When the beacon machine comes out of the water, the two detection probes are disconnected. The main control module 400 can judge whether the beacon machine is in the water-out state or the water-in state by obtaining the connection status of the two detection probes.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, the end cover 300 is made of polyoxymethylene resin. Polyoxymethylene resin is an engineering plastic with excellent properties. It has good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength and rigidity, and good processing performance. These characteristics make polyoxymethylene resin an ideal choice for manufacturing the end cover 300. Specifically, the end cover 300 made of polyoxymethylene resin not only ensures the strength and stiffness of the end cover 300, enabling it to withstand various pressures and impacts in the marine environment, but also has good corrosion resistance, capable of resisting the erosion of seawater and the corrosion of other chemical substances. At the same time, polyoxymethylene resin has excellent processing performance, enabling the end cover 300 to be easily processed into various shapes and sizes to meet the design requirements of the beacon machine. In addition, polyoxymethylene resin also has good wear resistance, which can ensure that the end cover 300 is not easily worn during long-term use, extending the service life of the beacon machine.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the communication board is used to realize the positioning of the beacon machine and send positioning information to the outside world, while the control board is used to control the power on and off of the communication board. As Figures 6 to 12Shown are various circuit modules designed on the control board. Specifically, a main control module 400, a power conversion module, and a power control module 600 are provided on the control board, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown. The main control module 400 includes an MCU (which can be of models such as STM32L475VET6) and its peripheral circuits, and is used to control the working processes of other modules. Among them, the control board is connected to the communication board through connectors P11 and P12.

[0070] As Figures 8 to 10 shown, in this example, the power conversion module includes a first voltage conversion unit 510, a second voltage conversion unit 520, a third voltage conversion unit 530, a fourth voltage conversion unit 540, and a power amplifier conversion unit 550. The input end of the first voltage conversion unit 510 is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery, the output end of the first voltage conversion unit 510 is electrically connected to the power supply end of the main control module 400, the input end of the second voltage conversion unit 520 is electrically connected to the output end of the first voltage conversion unit 510, the output end of the second voltage conversion unit 520 is electrically connected to the first power supply end of the positioning module 1100, the input end of the third voltage conversion unit 530 is electrically connected to the output end of the power control module 600, the output end of the third voltage conversion unit 530 is electrically connected to the second power supply end of the positioning module 1100, the input end of the fourth voltage conversion unit 540 is electrically connected to the output end of the power control module 600, the output end of the fourth voltage conversion unit 540 is electrically connected to the power supply end of the communication module 1000, the input end of the power amplifier conversion unit 550 is electrically connected to the output end of the power control module 600, the output end of the power amplifier conversion unit 550 is electrically connected to the power amplifier power supply end of the communication module 1000, and the enable ends of the second voltage conversion unit 520, the third voltage conversion unit 530, the fourth voltage conversion unit 540, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550 are all electrically connected to the main control module 400.

[0071] Specifically, as Figure 8 shown, the rechargeable battery is connected to the control board through connector P4, providing voltage VBAT+. The first voltage conversion unit 510 includes a voltage regulator chip U3 (which can adopt models such as SGM2221), and is used to convert voltage VBAT+ into a stable +3.3V voltage, so as to continuously supply power to the main control module 400. The second voltage conversion unit 520 includes a voltage regulator chip U8 (which can adopt models such as SGM2221), and is used to convert the +3.3V voltage output by the first voltage conversion unit 510 into +1.8V voltage to provide voltage for the positioning module 1100; it should be noted that the enable end of the second voltage conversion unit 520 is connected to the main control module 400 through en18, and the main control module 400 can control whether the second voltage conversion unit 520 is enabled. As Figure 9As shown, the power control module 600 includes a triode Q1 and a DC-DC converter U6. The base of the triode Q1 is electrically connected to the main control module 400 through a resistor R27. The emitter of the triode Q1 is grounded. The collector of the triode Q1 is connected to the DC-DC converter U6 through resistors R26 and R25. The DC-DC converter U6 is used to convert the voltage VBAT+ into the voltage Vmain. Among them, the main control module 400 can control the conduction and disconnection of the power control module 600 through CV3.3. The third voltage conversion unit 530 includes a voltage regulator chip U3 (models such as SGM2221 can be used), which is used to convert the voltage Vmain output by the power control module 600 into V3.3, and then supply power to the positioning module 1100. It should be noted that the enable terminal of the third voltage conversion unit 530 is connected to the main control module 400 through CGPS, and the main control module 400 can control whether the third voltage conversion unit 530 is enabled. The fourth voltage conversion unit 540 includes a voltage converter U5 (models such as SGM61412A can be used), which is used to convert the voltage Vmain output by the power control module 600 into VCC5V, and then supply power to the communication module 1000. It should be noted that the enable terminal of the fourth voltage conversion unit 540 is connected to the main control module 400 through CV5V, and the main control module 400 can control whether the fourth voltage conversion unit 540 is enabled. As Figure 10 shown, the power amplifier conversion unit 550 includes a voltage converter U7 (models such as SGM61430 can be used), which is used to convert the voltage Vmain output by the power control module 600 into VCC_PA5V, and then supply power to the power amplifier of the communication module 1000. It should be noted that the enable terminal of the power amplifier conversion unit 550 is connected to the main control module 400 through ON5V, and the main control module 400 can control whether the power amplifier conversion unit 550 is enabled.

[0072] After the beacon machine enters the water, the two detection probes are turned on, and the rechargeable battery continuously powers the main control module 400 through the first voltage conversion unit 510, enabling the main control module 400 to be in a normal working state. At the same time, the main control module 400 controls the power control module 600 to disconnect, so that the power control module 600 cannot supply power to the third voltage conversion unit 530, the fourth voltage conversion unit 540, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550, and the communication board is powered off. The communication module 1000 and the positioning module 1100 enter the sleep state, thus saving the power consumption of the beacon machine. At the same time, the main control module 400 also controls the second voltage conversion unit 520 to power off, further saving power consumption. When the beacon machine emerges from the water, the two detection probes are disconnected, and the main control module 400 enables the power control module 600, so that the rechargeable battery supplies power to the third voltage conversion unit 530, the fourth voltage conversion unit 540, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550 through the power control module 600. At the same time, the main control module 400 enables the third voltage conversion unit 530, the fourth voltage conversion unit 540, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550, so that the third voltage conversion unit 530 provides a working voltage of 3.3V for the positioning module 1100, enabling the positioning module 1100 to position the beacon machine and send the obtained position information to the communication module 1000; the fourth voltage conversion unit 540 provides a working voltage of 5V for the communication module 1000, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550 provides a power amplifier voltage of 5V for the communication module 1000, enabling the communication module 1000 to receive the position information and send the position information. At the same time, in order to improve the startup speed of the positioning module 1100, the main control module 400 can also enable the second voltage conversion unit 520, so that the second voltage conversion unit 520 provides a voltage of 1.8V for the positioning module 1100, accelerating its startup speed. It should be noted that in order to further reduce the power consumption of the beacon machine and improve its battery life, after the beacon machine emerges from the water, the positioning module 1100 and the communication module 1000 are not always in a working state. The main control module 400 controls the startup states of the second voltage conversion unit 520, the third voltage conversion unit 530, the fourth voltage conversion unit 540, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550 at a preset frequency, so that the positioning module 1100 and the communication module 1000 perform positioning every once in a while, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0073] Such as Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a battery power sampling module 700 is further provided on the control board. The battery power sampling module 700 is electrically connected to the power control module 600 and the main control module 400 respectively. Specifically, after the battery power sampling module 700 divides the voltage Vmain through voltage dividing resistors R11 and R15, it is input to the sampling chip U2. The sampling chip U2 sends the collected voltage information to the main control module 400 through ADC_IN1, so that the main control module 400 can obtain the power information of the rechargeable battery and send it out through the communication module 1000, so as to charge the rechargeable battery in time when the battery power is insufficient.

[0074] As Figure 11 shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a signal transmission module 900 is further provided on the control board. The signal transmission module 900 includes a power conversion chip U9, a first voltage dividing resistor R12, and a second voltage dividing resistor R45. The input end of the power conversion chip U9 is electrically connected to the output end of the power control module 600, and the enable end of the power conversion chip U9 is electrically connected to the main control module 400; one end of the first voltage dividing resistor R12 is electrically connected to the output end of the power conversion chip U9, the other end of the first voltage dividing resistor R12 is electrically connected to the detection probe, one end of the second voltage dividing resistor R45 is electrically connected to the other end of the first voltage dividing resistor R12, and the other end of the second voltage dividing resistor R45 is electrically connected to the battery power sampling module 700. When the main control module 400 enables the power conversion chip U9 through CKEY, the power conversion chip U9 converts the voltage Vmain into VK3.3, and then the voltage VK3.3 is divided by the first voltage dividing resistor R12 and the second voltage dividing resistor R45. When the detection probe is disconnected, KEY is at a high level. After KEY passes through the voltage following of the sampling chip U2, ADC_IN2 is output to the main control module 400. When the detection probe is conducting, KEY is at a low level. Through the KEY signal, the main control module 400 obtains the conduction state of the detection probe, and then knows whether the beacon machine has entered the water.

[0075] As Figure 12 shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a prompting module 800 is further provided on the control board. The prompting module 800 includes a triode T1 and a buzzer. The base of the triode T1 is electrically connected to the main control module 400 through a first resistor R35, and the emitter of the triode T1 is grounded; one end of the buzzer is connected to the voltage VCC5V, and the other end of the buzzer is electrically connected to the triode T1 through a second resistor R34. When the beacon machine is installed with a rechargeable battery and powered on, the buzzer makes a sound to prompt that the beacon machine is powered on normally.

[0076] The circuit design on the communication board in the embodiments of the present invention is as Figures 13 to 15 shown, see Figure 13, the communication module 1000 includes a communication chip U2. The communication chip U2 is connected with a receiving antenna RF3 and a transmitting antenna RF4. The communication module 1000 is used for receiving and sending signals. Refer to Figure 14 , the communication board is connected with the control board through connectors H3 and H4, and the communication module 1000 is connected with a SIM card U16. Refer to Figure 15 , the positioning module 1100 includes a positioning chip U14, which supports positioning using positioning systems such as Beidou and GPS.

[0077] Based on the above beacon machine, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a working method of the beacon machine, as Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0078] Step S100: Set the beacon machine on the moored buoy device;

[0079] It should be noted that the moored buoy device is mainly used for long-term observation of marine environmental elements (such as temperature, salinity, pressure, neutrino signal, etc.). It is usually composed of sensors, floats, and weights connected by a cable, so that the device can collect data stably at the seabed for a long time. By setting the beacon machine on the moored buoy device, when the moored buoy device needs to be recovered, the beacon machine can be used to locate the moored buoy device to determine its position, and then recover the moored buoy device.

[0080] Step S200: The rechargeable battery continuously powers the main control module 400 through the power conversion module;

[0081] Specifically, the voltage VBAT+ provided by the rechargeable battery is converted into a voltage of +3.3V after passing through the first voltage conversion unit 510 to power the main control module 400, so that the main control module 400 can work normally.

[0082] Step S300: When the moored buoy device dives into the ocean, the two detection probes are conducted through seawater, and the main control module 400 controls the power control module 600 to disconnect, so that the communication board is in a power-off state;

[0083] Specifically, when the mooring buoy device dives into the ocean, the beacon machine enters the water along with the mooring buoy device. The two detection probes are turned on, and the main control module 400 controls the power control module 600 to disconnect, so that the power control module 600 cannot supply power to the third voltage conversion unit 530, the fourth voltage conversion unit 540, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550. The communication board is in a power-off state, and the communication module 1000 and the positioning module 1100 enter the sleep state, thus saving the power consumption of the beacon machine. At the same time, the main control module 400 also controls the second voltage conversion unit 520 to cut off the power supply, further saving power consumption. It can be seen that after the beacon machine enters the water, since there is no need to position the mooring buoy device, except for the main control module 400 working with low power consumption, the rest of the modules are in the sleep state, thus reducing the power consumption of the beacon machine inside the ocean and improving the endurance of the beacon machine.

[0084] Step S400: When the mooring buoy device floats to the ocean surface, the two detection probes are disconnected, and the main control module 400 controls the power control module 600 to turn on;

[0085] When the mooring buoy device floats to the ocean surface, the beacon machine also follows the mooring buoy device out of the water. At this time, the two detection probes lose the conduction of seawater and are disconnected. At this time, the main control module 400 enables the power control module 600, so that the rechargeable battery supplies power to the third voltage conversion unit 530, the fourth voltage conversion unit 540, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550 through the power control module 600.

[0086] Step S500: The main control module 400 controls the power conversion module to supply power to the positioning module 1100 and the communication module 1000 at a preset frequency, so that the positioning module 1100 locates the beacon machine, obtains the position information of the beacon machine, and sends the position information through the communication module 1000.

[0087] Specifically, after the mooring buoy device comes out of the water, the mooring buoy device needs to be recovered. At this time, it is necessary to locate the mooring buoy device for recovery. In order to locate the mooring buoy device, the main control module 400 controls the positioning module 1100 and the communication module 1000 to start working, locate the beacon machine, obtain the position information, and send the position information through the communication module 1000, which is convenient for the staff to recover the mooring buoy device. It should be noted that in order to further reduce the power consumption of the beacon machine and improve its endurance, after the beacon machine comes out of the water, the positioning module 1100 and the communication module 1000 are not always in the working state. The main control module 400 controls the positioning module 1100 and the communication module 1000 to perform positioning at intervals at a preset frequency, thereby reducing the power consumption.

[0088] Specifically, in this example, step S500 includes the following four steps:

[0089] Step S510: The main control module 400 enables the third voltage conversion unit 530 at a preset frequency to supply power to the positioning module 1100, or the main control module 400 enables the second voltage conversion unit 520 and the third voltage conversion unit 530 at a preset frequency to supply power to the positioning module 1100;

[0090] Step S520: The main control module 400 enables the fourth voltage conversion unit 540 and the power amplifier conversion unit 550 at a preset frequency to supply power to the communication module 1000;

[0091] Step S530: After the positioning module 1100 is powered on, it locates the beacon machine to obtain the position information of the beacon machine;

[0092] Step S540: After the communication module 1000 is powered on, it sends the position information to the background server.

[0093] Specifically, after the main control module 400 controls the power control module 600 to conduct, the rechargeable battery can supply power through the power control module 600, the third voltage conversion unit 530, the fourth voltage conversion unit 540, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550. At the same time, the main control module 400 enables the third voltage conversion unit 530, the fourth voltage conversion unit 540, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550, so that the third voltage conversion unit 530 provides a working voltage of 3.3V for the positioning module 1100, enabling the positioning module 1100 to locate the beacon machine and send the obtained position information to the communication module 1000; the fourth voltage conversion unit 540 provides a working voltage of 5V for the communication module 1000, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550 provides a power amplifier voltage of 5V for the communication module 1000, enabling the communication module 1000 to receive the position information and send the position information. At the same time, in order to improve the startup speed of the positioning module 1100, the main control module 400 can also enable the second voltage conversion unit 520, so that the second voltage conversion unit 520 provides a voltage of 1.8V for the positioning module 1100 to accelerate its startup speed.

[0094] Step S600: The main control module 400 updates the preset frequency according to the change situation of the position information for multiple times.

[0095] Specifically, after the main control module 400 obtains multiple position information, it can dynamically adjust the preset frequency according to the change rate of the position information. When the position information changes rapidly, the preset frequency is increased, so that the positioning module 1100 and the communication module 1000 can update the position information of the beacon machine in real time, facilitating the staff to perform positioning. When the position information changes slowly, it indicates that the seawater flow rate is low and the position of the mooring buoy equipment is relatively stable. At this time, the main control module reduces the preset frequency, so that the positioning module 1100 and the communication module 1000 perform positioning at regular intervals, reducing power consumption.

[0096] According to the working method of the beacon machine of the embodiment of the present invention, a detection probe is used to replace the pressure sensor to detect whether the beacon machine enters the water, thereby reducing costs and simplifying the design. At the same time, after the beacon machine enters the water, only the main control module 400 operates normally with low power consumption, while other circuit modules are in a sleep state, thereby reducing the power consumption of the beacon machine and improving the battery life of the beacon machine. In addition, when the beacon machine emerges from the water, the positioning module 1100 and the communication module 1000 are controlled to perform positioning intermittently, and the positioning frequency is dynamically adjusted according to the position change of the beacon machine, so as to ensure accurate positioning of the beacon machine and further reduce the power consumption of the beacon machine.

[0097] Furthermore, as Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 100 includes a pressure-resistant housing 170 and an inner housing 180. The pressure-resistant housing 170 is sleeved outside the inner housing 180. A first charging chamber 181 is provided at the bottom of the battery compartment 150. A heat-conducting sheet 190 is provided between the pressure-resistant housing 170 and the first charging chamber 181. A heat-exchange power generation sheet 182 is provided on one side of the first charging chamber 181 close to the heat-conducting sheet 190. A heat-conducting chamber 183 and a phase-change material 184 are provided on the side of the heat-exchange power generation sheet 182 away from the heat-conducting sheet 190. The heat-conducting chamber 183 and the phase-change material 184 are arranged at intervals, and heating insulating oil is provided in the heat-conducting chamber 183. The working method of the beacon machine of the embodiment of the present invention further includes the following two steps:

[0098] (1) When the beacon machine dives, the temperature on the side of the heat-exchange power generation sheet 182 close to the heat-conducting sheet 190 decreases with the decrease of the seawater temperature, and the heating insulating oil heats the side of the heat-exchange power generation sheet 182 away from the heat-conducting sheet 190;

[0099] (2) The heat-exchange power generation sheet 182 generates electricity by using the temperature difference on both sides to charge the rechargeable battery.

[0100] Specifically, since a heat conduction fin is provided on one side of the heat exchange power generation sheet 182, when the beacon descends, due to the large temperature difference of seawater at different depths, under the action of the heat conduction fin, one side of the heat exchange power generation sheet 182 will rapidly decrease as the seawater temperature drops. On the other side of the heat exchange power generation sheet 182, under the action of heating the insulating oil, the temperature is higher than that of one side of the heat exchange power generation sheet 182. The temperature difference between the two sides enables the heat exchange power generation sheet 182 to generate electricity. At the same time, since a phase change material is provided on the other side of the heat exchange power generation sheet 182, and the phase change material can absorb and release heat, the rate of temperature drop on the other side of the heat exchange power generation sheet 182 can be further delayed. Through this design, during the descent of the beacon, the heat exchange power generation sheet 182 can utilize the temperature difference of seawater to generate electricity and charge the rechargeable battery, thereby further enhancing the endurance of the beacon.

[0101] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, a second charging chamber (not shown in the figure) is further provided between the battery compartment 150 and the first charging chamber 181. A vaporized liquid is provided in the second charging chamber, a ventilation pipe is provided above the vaporized liquid, a power generation fan is provided in the ventilation pipe, the power generation fan is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery, and the ventilation pipe is communicated with the second charging chamber through a condensation return pipe. The working method of the beacon according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes the following three steps:

[0102] (3) When the beacon ascends, the vaporized liquid vaporizes as the seawater temperature rises, generating an air current;

[0103] (4) The air current enters the ventilation pipe, driving the power generation fan to rotate, causing the power generation fan to generate current and charge the rechargeable battery;

[0104] (4) After the air current is condensed by the condensation return pipe, it returns to the second charging chamber.

[0105] Specifically, when the beacon ascends, the seawater temperature gradually rises, causing the vaporized liquid in the second charging chamber to vaporize as the seawater temperature rises, generating an air current. The air current entering the ventilation pipe will drive the power generation fan to rotate, causing the power generation fan to generate current and charge the rechargeable battery; subsequently, the ascending air current is condensed by the condensation return pipe and then returns to the second charging chamber. Through this design, during the ascent of the beacon, the power generation fan can utilize the temperature difference of seawater to generate electricity and charge the rechargeable battery, thereby further enhancing the endurance of the beacon. Thus, it can be seen that for the beacon according to the embodiment of the present invention, during the ascent and descent in the ocean, the rechargeable battery can be charged through different structures, effectively utilizing the temperature difference of seawater to achieve the purpose of enhancing the endurance of the beacon.

[0106] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the pressure-resistant housing 170 is made of 316L steel, and the surface of the pressure-resistant housing 170 is provided with a biomimetic shark skin microstructure. 316L steel has excellent corrosion resistance, can resist the corrosion of seawater, and improve the service life of the beacon machine. 316L steel has strong compressive capacity, which can ensure the stable operation of the beacon machine in the ocean. The biomimetic shark skin microstructure can reduce the attachment of microorganisms, algae, etc., and improve the service life of the beacon machine.

[0107] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the following two steps are further included:

[0108] (6) The battery power sampling module 700 collects the power information of the rechargeable battery and sends it to the main control module 400;

[0109] (7) The main control module 400 sends the power information to the background server through the communication module 1000.

[0110] Specifically, after the battery power sampling module 700 divides the voltage Vmain through the voltage dividing resistors R11 and R15, it inputs to the sampling chip U2. The sampling chip U2 sends the collected voltage information to the main control module 400 through ADC_IN1, so that the main control module 400 can obtain the power information of the rechargeable battery and send it out through the communication module 1000, so as to charge the rechargeable battery in time when the battery power is insufficient.
