Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of deep - sea aquaculture, and more particularly to an underwater monitoring system and an installation structure for an aquaculture cabin on a workboat. Background Art
[0002] Aquaculture workboats are important equipment for the development of deep - sea industrialized and intelligent aquaculture due to their high production capacity per unit volume of water, strong resistance to wind and waves, excellent and controllable aquaculture water quality, etc.
[0003] The state of underwater fish schools and water quality parameters are basic data and important criteria for intelligent aquaculture. At present, most underwater monitoring instruments for aquaculture are generally directly installed in aquaculture ponds at a certain depth, or the underwater monitoring instruments are fixed to a rod of a certain length and then fixed near the aquaculture pond. These methods are suitable for relatively shallow aquaculture water depths, and the monitoring instruments are also convenient to take out. However, since the aquaculture water volume in the aquaculture cabin of a large workboat is more than 5000 cubic meters and the water depth reaches 14 meters, the state of fish schools varies greatly at different depths, and the water circulation flow rate in the aquaculture cabin is large. The fixing methods of traditional underwater monitoring instruments are difficult to apply and cannot meet the stable and accurate measurement at different water depths. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a guide rail system that integrates functions of stable monitoring, convenient cleaning, corrosion resistance and multi - sensor compatibility, improving the stability, accuracy and operation efficiency of underwater environmental monitoring.

Detailed implementation manners
[0036] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 14 , an underwater monitoring system for the aquaculture cabin of a workboat is provided in an embodiment of the present invention, including a manual winch 1, with two groups both installed above the aquaculture cabin platform, specifically installed at a position between 1.2 and 1.7 meters above the platform, which is convenient for the staff to operate by hand. Since the monitoring system to be lifted is relatively heavy, the manual winch 1 is used to lift it, achieving the effect of saving effort. A manual brake is provided on the manual winch 1, and the manual brake ensures that the equipment is fixed at any position, guaranteeing the safety and flexibility of use.
[0038] The guide rail assembly 3 is vertically installed along the side wall of the aquaculture cabin and extends from below the platform to the bottom of the cabin. It includes several sections of guide rail one 31 and one section of guide rail two 32. The guide rail one 31 and the guide rail two 32 are fixed together through a guide rail connector 34 and bolts. The material of the guide rail assembly 3 is 316L, or high molecular polyethylene and other seawater corrosion-resistant and high-strength materials. The length of a single guide rail one 31 is within 2 meters to reduce the swaying and deformation of the guide rail assembly 3 under the action of water flow.
[0039] The underwater camera 4 is used to observe the state of the fish school in the aquaculture cabin. It is slidably connected to the guide rail assembly 3 through a bracket slider one 5. A lifting ring is welded on the bracket slider one 5, and a pulling rope one 9 is connected to the lifting ring. One end of the pulling rope one 9 is wound around one of the manual winches 1;
[0040] The water quality sensor 6 is used to monitor the water quality in the aquaculture cabin. It is slidably connected to the guide rail assembly 3 through a bracket slider two 7. The top of the water quality sensor 6 is connected to a pulling rope two 10. One end of the pulling rope two 10 is wound around the other manual winch 1.
[0041] Rotate the corresponding manual winch 1. Through the pulling rope one 9, the bracket slider one 5 is urged to drive the underwater camera 4 to slide on the guide rail assembly 3, or the pulling rope two 10 urges the bracket slider two 7 to drive the water quality sensor 6 to slide on the guide rail assembly 3, so as to observe the state of the fish school at different depths in the aquaculture cabin and monitor the water quality at different depths.
[0042] Among them, both the bracket slider one 5 and the bracket slider two 7 are provided with sliders with rollers, which match the size of the guide rail assembly 3 and can slide on the guide rail assembly 3.
[0043] A limit member 8 is provided at the end of the guide rail two 32 to limit the lowest position of the bracket slider two 7 and prevent it from sliding out of the guide rail assembly 3.
[0044] The signal line hook 2 is installed above the platform and directly below the manual winch 1, which is convenient for manual operation to tie the signal line. The signal line hook 2 is a U-shaped hook and is used to tie the signal lines of the underwater camera 4 and the water quality sensor 6.
[0045] The underwater camera 4 is located above the water quality sensor 6. Since the cleaning frequency of the underwater camera 4 is very high, it needs to be installed above the water quality sensor 6 for easy removal and cleaning at any time, and it can slide up and down without obstruction, making it easy to observe fish schools at different depths. The water quality in the same breeding tank is relatively stable, and there is no need to frequently move the water quality sensor 6, so it is placed below.
[0046] It should be noted that both the first tension rope 9 and the second tension rope 10 are made of nylon braided ropes with a polyurethane anti-corrosion layer coated on the surface. Both the first tension rope 9 and the second tension rope 10 are marked with length marks. When observing fish schools at a certain depth, one end of the first tension rope 9 marked with length marks is tied to the hanging ring, and the other end is wound and released through the manual winch 1. When reaching the depth to be observed, the brake of the manual winch 1 is opened to fix the rope. When monitoring water quality parameters, one end of the second tension rope 10 is tied to the top hanging ring of the water quality sensor 6 assembly, and the other end is wound and released through the manual winch 1. When reaching the appropriate position, the brake of the manual winch 1 is opened to fix the rope.
[0047] On the other hand, the present application also provides an installation structure for the underwater monitoring system of the industrial ship breeding tank, including a welding block 33, which is welded to the breeding tank wall and connected to the guide rail assembly 3 with countersunk head screws.
[0048] In summary, for the underwater monitoring system and installation structure of the industrial ship breeding tank in the embodiment of the present invention, the working principle is: by controlling the first tension rope 9 and the second tension rope 10 through two groups of manual winches 1, the underwater camera 4 and the water quality sensor 6 slide up and down along the guide rail assembly 3 to realize the observation of fish schools at different depths and the monitoring of water quality.
[0049] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
