[0001] This invention relates to the field of navigation aid equipment technology, specifically a steel buoy with environmental adaptability. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for marine resource development, maritime safety, and environmental monitoring, steel buoys, due to their high structural strength and load-bearing capacity, are widely used in navigation aids and marine observation. Buoys are typically equipped with various devices to enhance their practicality. For example, signal lights are installed on the top of the buoy for navigation and guidance of ships; signal receivers are installed to receive various signals transmitted from the control center or transmit water quality monitoring signals; and to ensure the stable operation of the various devices within the buoy, photovoltaic panels are usually installed to provide power for these devices through photovoltaic power generation.

[0003] In existing technologies, the photovoltaic panels loaded on buoys are directly exposed without any protective measures. In severe weather, the surface of the photovoltaic panels is easily worn, affecting their performance. Furthermore, severe weather can easily cause the buoy to tilt, resulting in poor environmental adaptability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an environmentally adaptable steel buoy to solve the problems raised in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The environmentally adaptable steel buoy includes a buoy body, a tower body fixedly installed on the buoy body, a signal receiver installed on the top of the tower body, a first photovoltaic panel and a second photovoltaic panel evenly arranged around the outer side of the tower body, a rotating shaft provided between the first photovoltaic panel and the second photovoltaic panel, a ballast tank provided inside the buoy body, a rotating disk provided at the bottom of the ballast tank, a servo motor provided inside the rotating disk, a lead screw connected to the output end of the servo motor, a counterweight provided above the rotating disk, a connecting seat installed at the bottom of the counterweight, and the connecting seat sleeved on the lead screw.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. The signal receiver at the top of the tower is used to receive future weather signals. Before severe weather arrives, the motor can drive the four shafts connected end to end to rotate synchronously, folding the unfolded photovoltaic panels to prevent damage to the photovoltaic panels and greatly improving the buoy's ability to adapt to environmental changes.

[0016] 2. By cooperating with the rotating disc and the lead screw, the counterweight can be moved to any position in the ballast tank, thereby adjusting the position of the entire buoy's center of gravity and correcting the buoy's tilt. Even in extreme weather conditions such as typhoons, the buoy will not tilt significantly, ensuring stable operation and improving the buoy's environmental adaptability.

[0017] 3. The scraper on the outer edge of the buoy is angled and can rotate under the drive of the waves to continuously scrape off barnacles and other attachments on the outer wall of the buoy. This not only prevents these attachments from affecting the weight of the buoy, but also slows down the corrosion of the buoy. Filling the buoy with seawater increases its weight and causes it to descend, which can also improve the stability of the buoy in typhoon weather to a certain extent. In addition, the process of filling the buoy with seawater will drive the lifting ring to rise, allowing the scraper to thoroughly clean the outer wall of the buoy. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example: Figures 1-7 As shown, this invention provides a technical solution for an environmentally adaptable steel buoy. The environmentally adaptable steel buoy includes a buoy body 1, a tower body 2 fixedly mounted on the buoy body 1, a signal receiver 3 mounted on the top of the tower body 2, a first photovoltaic panel 21 and a second photovoltaic panel 22 evenly arranged around the outer side of the tower body 2, a rotating shaft 23 between the first photovoltaic panel 21 and the second photovoltaic panel 22, a ballast tank 4 inside the buoy body 1, a rotating disk 5 at the bottom of the ballast tank 4, a servo motor 51 inside the rotating disk 5, the output end of the servo motor 51 connected to a lead screw 52, ​​a counterweight 6 above the rotating disk 5, a connecting seat 61 mounted at the bottom of the counterweight 6, and the connecting seat 61 sleeved on the lead screw 52; the buoy body 1 is hollow inside, and under the action of buoyancy, part of the buoy body 1 is submerged in water, while part of the tower body 2 extends completely above the water surface, preventing the tower body 2 from... Prolonged contact with seawater causes corrosion, affecting the buoy's signal transmission function. The signal receiver 3 can receive various signals transmitted from the control center in real time and make corresponding adjustments to the buoy based on these signals. In addition to the signal receiver 3, some signal lights are also installed on the tower to guide nearby ships. The first photovoltaic panel 21 and the second photovoltaic panel 22 are laid on the side of the tower 2 to provide sufficient power for the entire buoy and ensure the normal operation of the buoy's various functions. Since the first photovoltaic panel 21 is fixed to the tower 2, it has a certain tilt angle, which can effectively utilize sunlight to generate electricity. The second photovoltaic panel 22 can rotate from 0 to 180° under the action of the rotating shaft 23, which can adjust the angle of the second photovoltaic panel 22 in real time so that sunlight always shines directly on the photovoltaic panel, greatly improving the efficiency of power generation.

[0030] Tower body 2 consists of four support rods 24. A connecting rod 25 is provided in the middle of tower body 2, and a rotating shaft 23 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 25. One rotating shaft 23 is connected to the output end of motor 26. Both ends of the rotating shaft 23 are provided with bevel gears 2301, and the bevel gears 2301 on adjacent rotating shafts 23 mesh. The first photovoltaic panel 21 is fixedly installed on the support rod 24, and the second photovoltaic panel 22 is connected to the rotating shaft 23. The bottom of the second photovoltaic panel 22 is provided with a protective shell 2201. Through the interaction between the first photovoltaic panel 21 and the second photovoltaic panel 24, the photovoltaic system can achieve the desired effect. The photovoltaic panel 22 receives sunlight to generate electricity, powering various devices on the buoy. To improve the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation, the second photovoltaic panel 22 is connected to the rotating shaft 23, making the second photovoltaic panel 22 movable. Driven by the motor 26, the rotating shaft 23 rotates, allowing the second photovoltaic panel 22 to rotate freely. To achieve synchronous movement of all the second photovoltaic panels 22, bevel gears 2301 are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 23. The rotating shafts 23 are also arranged end-to-end, so that adjacent rotating shafts 23... The bevel gears 2301 on both sides will mesh. When the motor 26 drives one of the rotating shafts 23 to rotate, the bevel gears 2301 at both ends of the rotating shaft 23 will also rotate. Thus, under the meshing action of the bevel gears 2301, the adjacent rotating shafts 23 will also rotate. In the end, only one motor 26 is needed to realize the synchronous rotation of all the second photovoltaic panels 22. By adjusting the tilt angle of the second photovoltaic panels 22, the sunlight can always shine directly on the second photovoltaic panels 22, which greatly improves the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panels. When severe weather is about to arrive, the signal receiver 3 can receive the weather signal transmitted by the control center and issue instructions to each device. First, the motor 26 will run to drive the rotating shaft 23 to rotate, so that the second photovoltaic panels 22 rotate until they completely cover the first photovoltaic panel 21. At this time, the protective shell 2201 located at the bottom of the second photovoltaic panel 22 will flip over to the top of the two photovoltaic panels to protect the two photovoltaic panels and prevent damage to the photovoltaic panels under severe weather conditions. It can adapt to environmental changes.

[0031] The rotating disk 5 is provided with a mounting groove 53, which is set along the diameter direction of the rotating disk 5. The servo motor 51 and the lead screw 52 are installed in the mounting groove 53. The bottom of the rotating disk 5 is provided with a toothed groove 54.

[0032] The bottom of the ballast tank 4 is provided with a water tank 7, and a sealed chamber 71 is provided in the middle of the water tank 7. A drive motor 72 is fixedly installed in the sealed chamber 71. The output end of the drive motor 72 is connected to a drive gear 7201, and the drive gear 7201 is inserted into the tooth groove 54.

[0033] The water tank 7 is equipped with a push plate 73, and an annular airbag 74 is provided above the push plate 73. The outer wall of the annular airbag 74 is provided with an air outlet 7401. A water storage chamber 75 is provided below the push plate 73. A water inlet 7501 is provided on the side wall of the water storage chamber 75. A filter screen 7502 is provided inside the water inlet 7501. The water inlet 7501 is connected to a water pump 7503.

[0034] A lifting groove 11 is provided on the side wall of the buoy body 1. The lifting groove 11 is located outside the ballast tank 4, and its height is the same as that of the ballast tank 4. An air supply channel 12 is provided at the bottom of the lifting groove 11, which is connected to an air outlet 7401. An opening groove 13 is provided on the outside of the lifting groove 11. Hanging ears 14 are symmetrically provided at the bottom of the buoy body 1. A lifting ring 8 is provided on the outside of the buoy body 1. The lifting ring 8 includes an annular plate 81, on which an inflation ring 82 is fixedly installed. Several scrapers 8101 are evenly arranged around the bottom of the annular plate 81. The length of the scrapers 8101 is equal to the length from the bottom of the lifting groove 11 to the bottom of the buoy body 1. Due to the long-term immersion of the buoy in the sea... In the water, the part of the buoy that is submerged in seawater may become covered with marine organisms such as barnacles, which can affect the weight of the buoy and, in severe cases, corrode it, causing damage. The buoy is equipped with a lifting ring 8, the bottom of which is rotatably connected to an oil scraper 8101. Since the scrapers 8101 are all angled, they can rotate under the action of waves, thereby scraping off the attached substances on the surface of the buoy. At the same time, the lifting ring 8 is also equipped with an air ring 82, which not only further improves the stability of the buoy but also protects it. When floating objects or ships collide with the buoy, it acts as a buffer, reducing the impact force on the buoy and preventing damage.

[0035] Working principle of the invention:

[0036] Under normal weather conditions, the first photovoltaic panel 21 and the second photovoltaic panel 22 receive sunlight to generate electricity, powering various devices on the buoy. To improve the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation, the second photovoltaic panel 22 is connected to the rotating shaft 23, making the second photovoltaic panel 22 movable. Driven by the motor 26, the rotating shaft 23 rotates, allowing the second photovoltaic panel 22 to rotate freely. To achieve synchronous movement of all the second photovoltaic panels 22, bevel gears 2301 are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 23. The rotating shafts 23 are arranged end to end, so that the bevel gears 2301 on adjacent rotating shafts 23 will mesh. When the motor 26 drives one of the rotating shafts 23 to rotate, the bevel gears 2301 at both ends of the rotating shaft 23 also rotate simultaneously. Thus, the meshing of the bevel gears 2301... Under its influence, the adjacent rotating shaft 23 is also driven to rotate. Ultimately, only one motor 26 is needed to achieve synchronous rotation of all the second photovoltaic panels 22. By adjusting the tilt angle of the second photovoltaic panels 22, sunlight can always shine directly on the second photovoltaic panels 22, greatly improving the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panels. When severe weather is about to arrive, the signal receiver 3 can receive the weather signal transmitted by the control center and issue instructions to each device. First, the motor 26 runs to drive the rotating shaft 23 to rotate, causing the second photovoltaic panels 22 to rotate until they completely cover the first photovoltaic panel 21. At this time, the protective shell 2201 located at the bottom of the second photovoltaic panel 22 is flipped to the top of the two photovoltaic panels to protect the two photovoltaic panels and prevent damage to the photovoltaic panels under severe weather conditions, thus adapting to environmental changes.

[0037] Under normal weather conditions, the counterweight 6 inside the ballast tank 4 remains in the center position. The increased weight of the counterweight 6 keeps the buoy in a stable, vertical position, preventing it from tilting on a calm sea surface. However, in severe weather with large waves, when the buoy tilts due to typhoons or waves, the drive motor 73 drives the drive gear 7201 to rotate. The drive gear 7201, in conjunction with the tooth groove 54, drives the rotating disk 5 to rotate, causing the vertical plane of the lead screw 52 to coincide with the vertical plane of the buoy's tilt direction. At this time, driven by the servo motor 51, the counterweight 6 moves away from the tilt direction, placing the buoy's center of gravity in the opposite direction of the tilt, thereby correcting the degree of tilt and greatly improving the buoy's stability in severe weather.

[0038] Because buoys are submerged in seawater for extended periods, barnacles and other marine organisms can attach to the submerged portion of the buoy, affecting its weight and potentially corroding it, causing damage. The buoy is fitted with a lifting ring 8, whose bottom is rotatably connected to an oil scraper 8101. Since the scrapers 8101 are angled, they rotate under the influence of waves, effectively removing the attached organisms from the buoy's surface. Simultaneously, the lifting ring 8 is also equipped with an inflation ring 82, which not only further enhances the buoy's stability but also protects it, acting as a buffer against impacts from floating objects or ships, reducing the impact force and preventing damage.

[0039] The signal receiver 3 at the top of the tower 1 is used to receive future weather signals. Before severe weather arrives, the motor 26 can drive the four shafts 23 connected end to end to rotate synchronously, folding the unfolded photovoltaic panels to avoid damage to the photovoltaic panels and greatly improving the buoy's ability to adapt to environmental changes.

[0040] By cooperating with the rotating disk 5 and the lead screw 52, ​​the counterweight 6 can be moved to any position in the ballast tank 4, thereby adjusting the position of the entire buoy's center of gravity and correcting the buoy's tilt. Even in extreme weather conditions such as typhoons, the buoy will not tilt significantly, ensuring stable operation and improving the buoy's environmental adaptability.

[0041] The scraper 8101, installed on the outer edge of the buoy, is tilted and can rotate under the drive of the waves, continuously scraping away barnacles and other attachments on the outer wall of the buoy. This not only prevents these attachments from affecting the weight of the buoy but also slows down the corrosion of the buoy. Filling the buoy with seawater increases its weight and causes it to descend, which can also improve the stability of the buoy in typhoon weather to a certain extent. Furthermore, the process of filling the buoy with seawater will cause the lifting ring 8 to rise, enabling the scraper 8101 to thoroughly clean the outer wall of the buoy.
