Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of deep-sea science and technology, and in particular to a multifunctional monitoring device for sunken artificial fish reef attachments. Background Art

[0002] It's widely acknowledged that marine ranching plays a vital role in the growth and conservation of fishery resources. The deployment of artificial reefs is a key component of marine ranching. Artificial reefs are subsea rocks or other raised structures that are ideal for fish to gather, inhabit, and reproduce. Their purpose is to improve the marine ecosystem, create a favorable habitat for marine life, and increase the abundance of fishery resources in the area.

[0003] Currently, investigations into the effectiveness of artificial reefs in attracting fish and their attachment patterns are mostly conducted through diving surveys. While this method is intuitive, sampling is challenging. While some existing multifunctional monitoring equipment for artificial reef attachments can monitor attachments to a certain extent, it relies on direct observation, and the image information collected can be affected by environmental factors, leading to inaccurate monitoring.

[0004] In summary, the problem that some existing multifunctional monitoring devices for artificial fish reef attachments may be affected by environmental factors when collecting information, resulting in inaccurate monitoring, has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a multifunctional monitoring device for submerged artificial fish reef attachments. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address these issues, the present invention provides a multifunctional monitoring device for submerged artificial reef debris. This device effectively scrapes debris from the reef using a scraping plate, and removes impurities from the debris using the hydraulic pressure generated by the piston plate. Furthermore, a collection assembly ensures that scraped debris is effectively collected, facilitating subsequent analysis and research.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a multifunctional monitoring device for sunken artificial fish reef attachments, comprising a shell, a fixed platform fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the shell, and a controller, a telescopic member fixedly connected to the top of the fixed platform, and the controller is used to control the extension and retraction of the output shaft of the telescopic member.

[0007] The bottom wall of the outer shell is fixedly connected to a piston box, and a piston plate is laterally slidably fitted in the piston box. The output shaft of the telescopic member passes through the side wall of the piston box and extends into the piston box and is fixedly connected to one side wall of the piston plate. The other side wall of the piston plate is fixedly connected to a first rack. The end of the first rack is away from the piston plate and passes through the side wall of the piston box and extends to the outside of the piston box and is slidably fitted with the side wall of the piston box.

[0008] A first gear is meshed with the first rack, and the first gear is coaxially fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to a second gear, a fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the outer shell, and a second rack is vertically slidably fitted in the fixed cylinder, a through hole is provided in the side wall of the fixed cylinder, and the second gear is meshed with the second rack through the through hole, and the top end of the second rack passes through the top wall of the outer shell and extends to the outside of the outer shell and is fixedly connected to a scraping plate, a release port is provided on the scraping plate, and a release one-way valve is connected to the side wall of the piston box, and the piston box is connected to the outside through the release one-way valve and the release port.

[0009] A collecting assembly for collecting the attachments scraped by the scraping plate and a cutting assembly for cutting the attachments scraped by the scraping plate are provided inside the shell. A transmission assembly for transmitting the rotational force to the cutting assembly is provided on the rotating shaft. A limiting assembly for limiting the first rack and the transmission shaft is also provided on the bottom wall of the shell. The cutting assembly is located inside the collecting assembly, the transmission assembly is located on one side of the cutting assembly, and the limiting assembly is located on one side of the transmission assembly.

[0010] The technical principles of the above solution are as follows:

[0011] The staff installed the monitoring equipment at the artificial fish reef, and controlled the telescopic part output shaft to extend and retract through the controller, so that it drove the telescopic part output shaft to extend and retract, and the telescopic part output shaft drove the piston plate to move back and forth laterally, and the piston plate drove the first rack to move back and forth laterally, and the first rack drove the first gear to rotate back and forth, and the first gear drove the rotating shaft to rotate back and forth, and the rotating shaft drove the second gear to rotate back and forth, and the second gear drove the second rack to move back and forth up and down, and the second rack drove the scraping plate to move back and forth up and down to scrape the attachments on the artificial fish reef.

[0012] During this process, the limiting assembly will limit the first rack and the transmission shaft, and the piston plate will discharge the water in the piston box through the release one-way valve and the release port during reciprocating motion, thereby removing impurities on the surface of the attachment.

[0013] The attachments scraped by the scraper plate will be collected by the collecting component. At the same time, the rotating shaft will drive the transmission component to operate during the rotation process, so that it drives the cutting component to cut the attachments.

[0014] The above scheme has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This invention effectively scrapes debris from the artificial reef using a scraping plate, and removes impurities from the debris using the water pressure generated by the piston plate. Furthermore, a collection assembly ensures that the scraped debris is effectively collected, facilitating subsequent analysis and research.

[0016] 2. In the present invention, the setting of the cutting component can cut the scraped attachments, which helps to decompose the attachments into smaller parts, facilitating subsequent analysis and processing.

[0017] 3. In the present invention, the setting of the limit assembly ensures that the first rack and the transmission shaft move within a specific range, avoids excessive wear and damage to the monitoring equipment, and improves the stability and durability of the monitoring equipment.

[0018] Furthermore, the collecting assembly includes a collecting frame fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the shell.

[0019] Beneficial effects: The design of the collection frame enables the collected attachments to be stored in a centralized manner, facilitating subsequent analysis, research or processing. At the same time, the existence of the collection frame also plays a role in protecting the interior of the monitoring equipment, so that the attachments will not cause wear or blockage to other parts of the monitoring equipment, thereby extending the service life of the monitoring equipment.

[0020] Furthermore, the cutting assembly includes a cutting shaft that passes through the side wall of the collecting frame and extends into the collecting frame, and a plurality of cutting wheels are fixedly connected to the cutting shaft.

[0021] Beneficial effect: The combined design of the cutting shaft and the cutting wheel enables the cutting component to efficiently cut the attachments in the collection frame. By cutting the attachments, their volume can be reduced, making them easier to be accommodated and stored in the collection frame, further enhancing the collection effect of the collection component.

[0022] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a third gear coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, the third gear is engaged with a chain, the chain is engaged with a fourth gear, and the fourth gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the cutting shaft.

[0023] Beneficial effect: The coaxial fixed connection between the third gear and the rotating shaft ensures that the rotation of the rotating shaft can be directly transmitted to the third gear, and then drives the fourth gear to rotate through the chain. This direct transmission method reduces energy loss, improves transmission efficiency, and ensures that the cutting shaft can obtain sufficient power for cutting operations.

[0024] Furthermore, the limiting assembly includes a first limiting frame fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the shell and several second limiting frames, the rotating shaft passes through the first limiting frame and rotates with the first limiting frame, and the two ends of the first rack respectively pass through the second limiting frames adjacent to it and slide with the second limiting frames adjacent to it.

[0025] Beneficial effects: The first limit frame provides stable support and rotation guide for the rotating shaft, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the rotating shaft during the rotation process. The second limit frame effectively limits and guides the movement of the first rack, preventing the first rack from offsetting or shaking during the transmission process, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire transmission process.

[0026] Furthermore, a sleeve is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the shell, and an extension rod is vertically slidably fitted in the sleeve, and one end of the extension rod away from the sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the scraping plate.

[0027] Beneficial effect: The fixed connection between the sleeve and the shell and the sliding fit of the extension rod in the sleeve together constitute a stable lifting mechanism. This structural stability helps to reduce shaking and deviation during the scraping process and ensure the smooth progress of the scraping operation.

[0028] Furthermore, a GPS locator is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the shell, and the controller is electrically connected to the staff terminal. The controller is used to receive location information sent by the GPS locator and transmit the location information to the staff terminal in real time.

[0029] Beneficial effect: The controller receives the location information sent by the GPS locator and transmits it to the staff terminal in real time, so that the staff can grasp the precise location of the monitoring equipment at any time, so as to quickly respond to and deal with possible problems.

[0030] Furthermore, a plurality of gripping spikes are fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell.

[0031] Beneficial effects: The gripping spikes can penetrate deep into the mud or rocks on the seabed, providing a solid support for the monitoring equipment, ensuring that the monitoring equipment is not easily washed away or displaced by the water flow in the seabed environment, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the monitoring equipment.

[0032] Furthermore, a guide frame is fixedly connected to one side of the collecting frame, and the guide frame is communicated with the collecting frame.

[0033] Beneficial effect: The guide frame is connected to the collection frame to form a smooth channel, which can guide the attachments from the guide frame into the collection frame smoothly, thereby completing the collection of the attachments.

[0034] Furthermore, the guide frame is arranged obliquely.

[0035] Beneficial effects: The inclined guide frame can utilize gravity to promote the attachments to slide smoothly from the guide frame to the collection frame, thereby reducing the retention and accumulation of attachments in the guide frame and improving the collection efficiency.

[0036] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description which follows, or may be learned by practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] As attached Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The device, shown here, is a multifunctional monitoring device for sunken artificial reef attachments. The device comprises a housing 1 and a controller. Several gripping spikes are welded to the bottom of the housing 1. A fixing platform 2 is integrally formed on the inner bottom wall of the housing 1. A telescopic member is bolted to the top of the fixing platform 2. The controller controls the extension and retraction of the output shaft of the telescopic member. In this embodiment, the telescopic member is an electric telescopic rod.

[0044] A piston box 3 is welded to the bottom wall of the outer shell 1, and a piston plate 4 is laterally slidably fitted in the piston box 3. The output shaft of the electric telescopic rod passes through the side wall of the piston box 3 and extends into the piston box 3 and is fixedly connected with bolts on one side wall of the piston plate 4. A first rack 5 is welded to the other side wall of the piston plate 4. The end of the first rack 5 away from the piston plate 4 passes through the side wall of the piston box 3 and extends to the outside of the piston box 3 and is slidably fitted with the side wall of the piston box 3.

[0045] A first gear 6 is meshed on the first rack 5, and a rotating shaft 7 is coaxially fixedly connected to the first gear 6. A second gear 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7. A fixed cylinder 9 is welded to the inner bottom wall of the outer shell 1, and a second rack 10 is vertically slidably fitted in the fixed cylinder 9. A through hole is provided in the side wall of the fixed cylinder 9, and the second gear 8 is meshed with the second rack 10 through the through hole. The top end of the second rack 10 passes through the top wall of the outer shell 1 and extends to the outside of the outer shell 1. A scraper plate 11 is welded to the outside of the outer shell 1. A release port is provided on the scraper plate 11. A release one-way valve is connected to the side wall of the piston box 3, and the piston box 3 is connected to the outside through the release one-way valve and the release port.

[0046] A collecting assembly for collecting the attachments scraped by the scraping plate 11 and a cutting assembly for cutting the attachments scraped by the scraping plate 11 are provided inside the outer shell 1. A transmission assembly for transmitting the rotational force to the cutting assembly is provided on the rotating shaft 7. The cutting assembly is located inside the collecting assembly, and the transmission assembly is located on one side of the cutting assembly.

[0047] The collecting assembly includes a collecting frame 12 integrally formed on the inner bottom wall of the housing 1 . An obliquely arranged guide frame 13 is integrally formed on one side of the collecting frame 12 , and the guide frame 13 is communicated with the collecting frame 12 .

[0048] The cutting assembly includes a cutting shaft 14 that penetrates the side wall of the collecting frame 12 and extends into the collecting frame 12 . A plurality of cutting wheels 15 are fixedly clamped on the cutting shaft 14 .

[0049] The transmission assembly includes a third gear 16 coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7 . The third gear 16 is engaged with a chain 17 . The chain 17 is engaged with a fourth gear 18 . The fourth gear 18 is coaxially fixedly connected to the cutting shaft 14 .

[0050] The inner bottom wall of the housing 1 is further provided with a limiting assembly for limiting the first rack 5 and the transmission shaft, and the limiting assembly is located on one side of the transmission assembly.

[0051] The limiting assembly includes a first limiting frame 19 and several second limiting frames 20 welded to the inner bottom wall of the shell 1. The rotating shaft 7 passes through the first limiting frame 19 and rotates with the first limiting frame 19. The two ends of the first rack 5 respectively pass through the second limiting frames 20 adjacent to it and slide with the second limiting frames 20 adjacent to it.

[0052] The specific implementation process is as follows: the staff installs the monitoring equipment on the artificial fish reef through the gripping nails, and controls the reciprocating extension and retraction of the output shaft of the electric telescopic rod through the controller.

[0053] During the reciprocating extension and retraction process, the electric telescopic rod will drive the piston plate 4 and the first rack 5 to reciprocate horizontally in turn, and the first rack 5 will drive the first gear 6, the rotating shaft 7 and the second gear 8 to reciprocate in turn, so that the second gear 8 will drive the second rack 10 and the scraping plate 11 to reciprocate vertically in turn, and the scraping plate 11 will scrape the attachments of the artificial reef.

[0054] During this process, the first limit frame 19 and the second limit frame 20 will limit the rotating shaft 7 and the first rack 5 respectively. At the same time, due to the reciprocating motion of the piston plate 4, the piston plate 4 will discharge the water in the piston box 3 through the release one-way valve and the release port, so that impurities on the surface of the attachment are removed during discharge.

[0055] The attachments scraped by the scraping plate 11 will fall into the collecting frame 12 and the guide frame 13 . At this time, since the guide frame 13 is tilted, the attachments in the guide frame 13 will be guided into the collecting frame 12 .

[0056] When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, it also drives the third gear 16 to rotate back and forth together with it. The third gear 16 drives the chain 17, the fourth gear 18, the cutting shaft 14 and the cutting wheel 15 to rotate back and forth in sequence, so that the cutting wheel 15 cuts the collected attachments.

[0057] The present invention uses the scraping plate 11 to scrape the attachments on the artificial reef body, and at the same time, uses the piston plate 4 to squeeze and generate water pressure to remove impurities on the attachments. The collection frame 12 also ensures that the scraped attachments are effectively collected, which is convenient for subsequent analysis and research.

[0058] Example 2:

[0059] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the difference from Example 1 is that a sleeve 21 is symmetrically welded on the top of the shell 1, and an extension rod 22 is vertically slidably fitted in the sleeve 21, and the end of the extension rod 22 away from the sleeve 21 is welded to the bottom of the scraper plate 11.

[0060] The specific implementation process is as follows: when the scraping plate 11 moves up and down to scrape the artificial reef attachments, the scraping plate 11 will drive the extension rod 22 welded to it to move upward. At this time, the extension rod 22 and the sleeve 21 will limit the scraping plate 11, so that the scraping plate 11 can scrape and collect the artificial reef attachments more stably.

[0061] Example 3:

[0062] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the difference from Example 2 is that the GPS locator 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the shell 1 by screws, and the controller is electrically connected to the staff terminal. The controller is used to receive the location information sent by the GPS locator 23 and transmit the location information to the staff terminal in real time.

[0063] The specific implementation process is as follows: When the staff recovers the monitoring equipment, the GPS locator 23 can send the location of the monitoring equipment to the staff terminal, so that the staff can clearly know the location of the monitoring equipment, thereby reducing the staff's underwater operation time and improving the staff's work efficiency when recovering the monitoring equipment.

[0064] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
