Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of beacon machine technology, and in particular to a beacon machine operating method and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] A beacon is an instrument that can transmit specific identification signals to the outside world. It can send information such as the current time, its own latitude and longitude, and altitude. It is mainly deployed on ocean buoys and other underwater equipment to locate the current position of the equipment in real time when it is floating on the water, so as to monitor and retrieve the equipment.

[0003] Because beacon drones need to operate in the ocean for extended periods, they require high endurance. However, current beacon drones have high power consumption and poor endurance, limiting their operating time in the ocean. Furthermore, traditional beacon drones typically use pressure sensors to detect whether they have entered or exited the water. This method is costly and involves complex structural designs.

Also, the terms "comprise", "comprising", "including", and "having" and any variations thereof in the description and in the claims of the present application are intended to cover both the case where the stated feature is included in the process, method, system, product, or apparatus and the case where the stated feature is not included in the process, method, system, product, or apparatus.

[0059] Reference to "an embodiment" or "the embodiment" in this disclosure means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are they necessarily all directed to the same embodiment, or to a single alternative embodiment.

[0060] The beacon machine is an instrument capable of transmitting a specific identification signal to the outside world, which can send information such as current time, latitude and longitude, and altitude, and is mainly placed on the ocean bottom marker and other underwater equipment, and is used for real-time positioning of the current position when the equipment floats on the water surface, and for monitoring and recycling of the equipment.

[0061] Since the beacon machine needs to work in the ocean for a long time, there is a high demand for the endurance of the beacon machine. However, the current beacon machine has large power consumption and poor endurance, and the working time in the ocean is limited. Moreover, in order to detect whether the beacon machine is in water, a pressure sensor is usually arranged on the beacon machine to detect the pressure through the pressure sensor to determine whether the beacon machine is in water or out of water. However, this way has high cost and complex structure design.

[0062] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a working method of a beacon machine and a storage medium. The working method of the beacon machine and the storage medium detect whether the beacon machine is in water through a detection probe instead of a pressure sensor, so as to reduce the cost and simplify the design. Meanwhile, only the main control module normally operates at low power consumption after the beacon machine is in water, and other circuit modules are in a dormant state, so as to reduce the power consumption of the beacon machine and improve the endurance of the beacon machine. In addition, when the beacon machine is out of water, the positioning module and the communication module intermittently perform positioning, 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.

[0063] The working method of the beacon machine and the storage medium of the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] In one aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a beacon machine, which comprises a shell and two spaced detection probes, the shell is internally provided with a chargeable battery, a control board and a communication board which are electrically connected in sequence, the control board is provided with a main control module 400, a power conversion module and a power control module 600, the communication board is provided with a communication module 1000 and a positioning module 1100, the detection probe is arranged in the shell, one end of the detection probe is located outside the shell, and the other end of the detection probe is electrically connected with the main control module 400.

[0065] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the shell comprises an outer shell 100, an end cover 300 and a bottom cover 200, the inner part of the outer shell 100 is provided with a battery compartment 150 and a control compartment 140 which are in communication with each other, a first convex edge 160 is arranged between the battery compartment 150 and the control compartment 140, the chargeable battery is arranged in the battery compartment 150, the communication board is connected with the control board through a connector, and the communication board is located above the control board, the control board is arranged on the surface of the first convex edge 160, the bottom of the outer shell 100 is provided with a first positioning hole 110, the bottom cover 200 is provided with a second positioning hole 210 which is matched with the first positioning hole 110, the bottom cover 200 is fixed at the bottom of the outer shell 100 through the first positioning hole 110 and the second positioning hole 210 by a first fastener, the outer side of the top of the outer shell 100 is provided with a second convex edge 120, 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 which is matched with the third positioning hole 121, and the end cover 300 is fixed on the surface of the second convex edge 120 through the third positioning hole 121 and the fourth positioning hole 310 by a second fastener, the detection probe is arranged in the end cover 300, and the end cover 300 is in the shape of a hemisphere. Figure 4 As shown in the drawings, the first convex edge 160 is provided with a fourth positioning hole 161, and the control board is fixed on the first convex edge 160 through the fourth positioning hole 161. The chargeable battery is used for power supply of the control board and the communication board. Through the first fastener and the second fastener, the outer shell 100 is tightly connected with the end cover 300 and the bottom cover 200, and this connection mode is not only simple and easy to implement, but also ensures that the beacon machine can maintain the integrity of the structure in the harsh marine environment, and effectively prevents the invasion of water and other harmful substances.

[0066] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3As shown, at the connection position of the bottom cover 200 and the shell 100, a first sealing ring groove 220 is arranged, and at the connection position of the shell 100 and the end cover 300, a second sealing ring groove 130 is arranged, both the first sealing ring groove 220 and the second sealing ring groove 130 are used for placing a sealing ring, so as to realize the sealing connection between the shell 100 and the bottom cover 200 and the end cover 300. This sealing design not only effectively prevents the invasion of moisture and other harmful substances, but also improves the waterproof performance and overall durability of the beacon machine. Especially in harsh marine environments, 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 beacon machine of the embodiment is made of corrosion-resistant and high-strength materials to ensure long-term stable operation of the beacon machine in harsh marine environments. The end cover 300 is designed in a hemispherical shape, which enhances the pressure resistance of the beacon machine and makes it more stable when 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 by 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 is out of the water, the two detection probes are disconnected. The main control module 400 can determine whether the beacon machine is in the water or out of the water by obtaining the connection status of the two detection probes.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the end cover 300 is made of polyoxymethylene resin material. Polyoxymethylene resin is an engineering plastic with excellent performance, which 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 is made of polyoxymethylene resin material, which not only ensures the strength and rigidity of the end cover 300, enabling it to withstand various pressures and impacts in marine environments, but also has good corrosion resistance, resisting the erosion of seawater and other chemical substances. At the same time, polyoxymethylene resin has excellent processing performance, making the end cover 300 easy to process 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 out during long-term use, prolonging the service life of the beacon machine.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the communication board is used to realize the positioning of the beacon machine and send positioning information to the outside world, and the control board is used to control the on-off of the communication board. As shown in FIG. 6, the communication board is connected to the control board through a communication interface, and the control board is connected to the main control module 400 through a control interface. When the beacon machine is in the water, the control board controls the communication board to be in an on state, and the communication board can send positioning information to the outside world through the communication interface. When the beacon machine is out of the water, the control board controls the communication board to be in an off state, and the communication board stops sending positioning information to the outside world through the communication interface. Figures 6 to 12The diagram shows the various circuit modules designed on the control board. Specifically, the control board includes a main control module 400, a power conversion module, and a power control module 600, as shown below. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the main control module 400 includes an MCU (such as an STM32L475VET6) and its peripheral circuits, used to control the operation of other modules. The control board connects to the communication board via connectors P11 and P12.

The input terminal of the second voltage conversion unit 520 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the first voltage conversion unit 510, and the output terminal of the second voltage conversion unit 520 is electrically connected to the first power supply terminal of the positioning module 1100. The input terminal of the third voltage conversion unit 530 is connected to the output terminal of the power control module 600.

The fourth voltage conversion unit 540 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the power control module 600 and the power supply terminal of the communication module 1000. The power amplifier conversion unit 550 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the power control module 600 and the power amplifier power supply terminal of the communication module 1000. The enable terminals 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, such as Figure 8 As shown, the rechargeable battery is connected to the control board via connector P4, providing voltage VBAT+. The first voltage conversion unit 510 includes a voltage regulator chip U3 (such as SGM2221) to convert VBAT+ into a stable +3.3V voltage, thereby continuously powering the main control module 400. The second voltage conversion unit 520 includes a voltage regulator chip U8 (such as SGM2221) to convert the +3.3V voltage output from the first voltage conversion unit 510 into a +1.8V voltage, providing voltage to the positioning module 1100. It should be noted that the enable terminal of the second voltage conversion unit 520 is connected to the main control module 400 via en18, and the main control module 400 can control whether the second voltage conversion unit 520 is enabled. Figure 9As shown, the power control module 600 includes a transistor Q1 and a DC-DC converter U6. The base of transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the main control module 400 through resistor R27, the emitter of transistor Q1 is grounded, and the collector of transistor Q1 is connected to the DC-DC converter U6 through resistors R26 and R25. The DC-DC converter U6 is used to convert voltage VBAT+ to voltage Vmain. The main control module 400 can control the power control module 600 to turn on and off via CV3.3. The third voltage conversion unit 530 includes a voltage regulator chip U3 (such as SGM2221) used to convert the voltage Vmain output by the power control module 600 to V3.3, thereby powering 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 via 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 (such as SGM61412A), used to convert the voltage Vmain output by the power control module 600 to VCC5V, thereby supplying 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 via CV5V, and the main control module 400 can control whether the fourth voltage conversion unit 540 is enabled. Figure 10 As shown, the power amplifier conversion unit 550 includes a voltage converter U7 (such as an SGM61430), which converts the voltage Vmain output by the power control module 600 into VCC_PA5V, thereby supplying 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 via ON5V, and the main control module 400 can control whether the power amplifier conversion unit 550 is enabled.

[0072] After the beacon enters the water, the two detection probes conduct, and the rechargeable battery continuously supplies power to the main control module 400 through the first voltage conversion unit 510, keeping the main control module 400 in normal working condition. At the same time, the main control module 400 controls the power control module 600 to disconnect, preventing the power control module 600 from supplying 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 a sleep state, thereby saving the beacon's power consumption. In addition, the main control module 400 also controls the second voltage conversion unit 520 to disconnect, further saving power consumption. When the beacon is out of the water, the two detection probes disconnect. The main control module 400 enables the power control module 600, allowing the rechargeable battery to supply 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. Simultaneously, 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, allowing the third voltage conversion unit 530 to provide a 3.3V operating voltage to the positioning module 1100, enabling the positioning module 1100 to locate the beacon and send the obtained location information to the communication module 1000. The fourth voltage conversion unit 540 provides a 5V operating voltage to the communication module 1000, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550 provides a 5V power amplifier voltage to the communication module 1000, enabling the communication module 1000 to receive and transmit the location information. Meanwhile, 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 1.8V voltage to the positioning module 1100, thereby accelerating its startup speed. It should be noted that, to further reduce the power consumption of the beacon and improve its endurance, after the beacon is out of the water, the positioning module 1100 and the communication module 1000 are not always in operation. The main control module 400 controls the startup status 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 at intervals, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0073] like Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a battery power sampling module 700 is also 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, the battery power sampling module 700 divides the voltage Vmain through voltage divider resistors R11 and R15 and inputs it 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 low.

[0074] like Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control board is further provided with a signal transmission module 900. The signal transmission module 900 includes a power conversion chip U9, a first voltage divider resistor R12, and a second voltage divider resistor R45. The input terminal of the power conversion chip U9 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the power control module 600, and the enable terminal of the power conversion chip U9 is electrically connected to the main control module 400. One end of the first voltage divider resistor R12 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the power conversion chip U9, and the other end of the first voltage divider resistor R12 is electrically connected to the detection probe. One end of the second voltage divider resistor R45 is electrically connected to the other end of the first voltage divider resistor R12, and the other end of the second voltage divider resistor R45 is electrically connected to the battery power sampling module 700. When the main control module 400 enables the power conversion chip U9 via CKEY, the power conversion chip U9 converts the voltage Vmain to VK3.3. Then, VK3.3 is divided by the first voltage divider resistor R12 and the second voltage divider resistor R45. When the detection probe is disconnected, KEY is high. After voltage tracking by the sampling chip U2, KEY outputs ADC_IN2 to the main control module 400. When the detection probe is on, KEY is low. Through the KEY signal, the main control module 400 obtains the on / off state of the detection probe, thereby determining whether the beacon has entered water.

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

[0076] The circuit design on the communication board in this embodiment of the invention is as follows: Figures 13 to 15 As shown, see Figure 13The communication module 1000 includes a communication chip U2, which is connected to a receiving antenna RF3 and a transmitting antenna RF4. The communication module 1000 is used to receive and transmit signals. See also Figure 14 The communication board is connected to the control board via connectors H3 and H4, and the communication module 1000 is connected to a SIM card U16. (See also...) 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 beacon machine described above, this embodiment of the invention proposes a method for operating the beacon machine, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0078] Step S100: Set up the beacon on the underwater glider;

[0079] It should be noted that underwater mooring equipment is mainly used for long-term observation of marine environmental elements (such as temperature, salinity, pressure, neutrino signals, etc.). It typically consists of sensors, a buoy, and a weight connected by cables, allowing the equipment to remain stable on the seabed for extended periods to collect data. By installing a beacon on the mooring equipment, its location can be determined when it needs to be retrieved, thus facilitating its recovery.

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

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

[0082] Step S300: When the underwater glider descends into the ocean, the two detection probes are connected through the 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 submersible device descends into the ocean, the beacon drone follows. The two detection probes are activated, and the main control module 400 disconnects the power control module 600. This prevents the power control module 600 from supplying 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 powered off, and the communication module 1000 and the positioning module 1100 enter a sleep state, thus saving power for the beacon drone. Simultaneously, the main control module 400 also disconnects the second voltage conversion unit 520, further reducing power consumption. Therefore, after the beacon drone enters the water, since positioning of the submersible device is not required, all modules except the main control module 400, which operates at low power consumption, are in a sleep state. This reduces the beacon drone's power consumption in the ocean and improves its endurance.

[0084] Step S400: When the underwater glider rises to the ocean surface, the two detection probes disconnect, and the main control module 400 controls the power control module 600 to turn on.

[0085] When the underwater glider rises to the ocean surface, the beacon also emerges from the water. At this time, the two detection probes lose the conductivity of the seawater and disconnect. 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, obtains the beacon's location information, and sends the location information through the communication module 1000.

[0087] Specifically, after the underwater glider emerges from the water, it needs to be retrieved. This requires locating the glider for easy recovery. To locate the glider, the main control module 400 controls the positioning module 1100 and communication module 1000 to begin operation, locating the beacon, obtaining its position information, and transmitting this information via the communication module 1000 for easy retrieval by personnel. It should be noted that, to further reduce the beacon's power consumption and improve its endurance, the positioning module 1100 and communication module 1000 are not continuously operational after the beacon emerges from the water. The main control module 400 controls the positioning module 1100 and communication module 1000 to perform positioning at preset frequencies at intervals, thereby reducing 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, so that the third voltage conversion unit 530 supplies 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, so that the second voltage conversion unit 520 and the third voltage conversion unit 530 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 and obtains the beacon's location information;

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

[0093] Specifically, after the main control module 400 controls the power control module 600 to turn on, the rechargeable battery can be powered through the third voltage conversion unit 530, the fourth voltage conversion unit 540, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550 of 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 3.3V operating voltage to the positioning module 1100, enabling the positioning module 1100 to locate the beacon and send the location information obtained from the location to the communication module 1000; the fourth voltage conversion unit 540 provides a 5V operating voltage to the communication module 1000, and the power amplifier conversion unit 550 provides a 5V power amplifier voltage to the communication module 1000, enabling the communication module 1000 to receive the location information and send it out. Meanwhile, 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 to the positioning module 1100, thereby speeding up its startup.

[0094] Step S600: The main control module 400 updates the preset frequency based on the changes in position information over multiple cycles.

[0095] Specifically, after the main control module 400 acquires multiple location information entries, it can dynamically adjust the preset frequency based on the rate of change of the location information. When the location information changes rapidly, the preset frequency is increased, enabling the positioning module 1100 and communication module 1000 to update the beacon's location information in real time, facilitating positioning by personnel. When the location information changes slowly, indicating low seawater current speed and a relatively stable position for the submersible device, the main control module lowers the preset frequency, causing the positioning module 1100 and communication module 1000 to perform positioning at intervals, reducing power consumption.

[0096] According to the beacon operation method of the present invention, a detection probe is used instead of a pressure sensor to detect whether the beacon has entered the water, thereby reducing costs and simplifying the design. Simultaneously, after the beacon enters the water, only the main control module 400 operates normally with low power consumption, while other circuit modules are in a dormant state, thereby reducing the beacon's power consumption and improving its battery life. Furthermore, when the beacon exits the water, the control positioning module 1100 and communication module 1000 perform intermittent positioning and dynamically adjust the positioning frequency according to the beacon's position changes, thereby ensuring accurate positioning of the beacon while further reducing its power consumption.

[0097] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the outer shell 100 includes a pressure-resistant outer shell 170 and an inner shell 180. The pressure-resistant outer shell 170 is fitted over the inner shell 180. A first charging chamber 181 is provided at the bottom of the battery compartment 150. A heat-conducting plate 190 is provided between the pressure-resistant outer shell 170 and the first charging chamber 181. A heat-exchange power generation plate 182 is provided on the side of the first charging chamber 181 near the heat-conducting plate 190. A heat-conducting chamber 183 and a phase change material 184 are provided on the side of the heat-exchange power generation plate 182 away from the heat-conducting plate 190. The heat-conducting chamber 183 and the phase change material 184 are spaced apart. Heating insulating oil is provided in the heat-conducting chamber 183. The beacon machine operation method of the embodiments of the present invention further includes the following two steps:

[0098] (1) When the beacon machine dives, the temperature of the heat exchanger 182 near the heat conductor 190 decreases as the seawater temperature decreases, and the heating insulating oil heats the side of the heat exchanger 182 away from the heat conductor 190.

[0099] (2) The heat exchanger 182 generates electricity by utilizing the temperature difference between the two sides to charge the rechargeable battery.

[0100] Specifically, because a heat-conducting plate is provided on one side of the heat exchanger 182, during the beacon's descent, due to the significant temperature difference of the seawater at different depths, one side of the heat exchanger 182 will rapidly decrease in temperature as the seawater temperature drops, thanks to the heat-conducting plate. Meanwhile, the other side of the heat exchanger 182, heated by the insulating oil, maintains a higher temperature than the first side. This temperature difference allows the heat exchanger 182 to generate electricity. Simultaneously, because a phase change material is provided on the other side of the heat exchanger 182, which can absorb and release heat, it further slows down the rate of temperature decrease on that side. Through this design, the heat exchanger 182 can utilize the temperature difference of the seawater to generate electricity during the beacon's descent, charging the rechargeable battery and thus further extending the beacon's range.

[0101] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, a second charging compartment (not shown) is further provided between the battery compartment 150 and the first charging compartment 181. The second charging compartment contains vaporized liquid, and a vent pipe is provided above the vaporized liquid. A generator fan is installed inside the vent pipe and is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery. The vent pipe is connected to the second charging compartment via a condensate return pipe. The beacon machine operation method of this embodiment of the present invention further includes the following three steps:

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

[0103] (4) The airflow enters the ventilation pipe, drives the generator fan to rotate, and generates current to charge the rechargeable battery.

[0104] (4) After the airflow is condensed through the condenser return pipe, it returns to the second charging chamber.

[0105] Specifically, as the beacon ascends, the seawater temperature gradually rises, causing the vaporized liquid in the second charging chamber to vaporize and generate airflow. This airflow enters the vent pipe and drives the generator fan, which in turn generates current to charge the rechargeable battery. Subsequently, the rising airflow is condensed in the condenser return pipe and returns to the second charging chamber. This design allows the generator fan to utilize the temperature difference of the seawater to generate electricity during the beacon's ascent, charging the rechargeable battery and further extending the beacon's range. Therefore, the beacon according to this embodiment of the invention can charge its rechargeable battery through different structures during ascent and descent in the ocean, effectively utilizing the temperature difference of the seawater to improve its range.

[0106] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the pressure-resistant outer shell 170 is made of 316L steel, and the surface of the pressure-resistant outer shell 170 is provided with a biomimetic shark skin microstructure. 316L steel has excellent corrosion resistance, enabling it to withstand seawater corrosion and extending the service life of the beacon. 316L steel also has strong pressure resistance, ensuring stable operation of the beacon in the ocean. The biomimetic shark skin microstructure reduces the adhesion of microorganisms, algae, etc., further extending the service life of the beacon.

[0107] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the following two steps are also 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 back-end server through the communication module 1000.

[0110] Specifically, the battery power sampling module 700 divides the voltage Vmain using voltage divider resistors R11 and R15 and inputs it to the sampling chip U2. The sampling chip U2 then sends the collected voltage information to the main control module 400 via ADC_IN1, enabling the main control module 400 to obtain the rechargeable battery power information and transmit it externally via the communication module 1000, so that the rechargeable battery can be charged in a timely manner when the battery power is low.
