Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention pertains to ships, specifically a special ship for marine biological transplantation. Background Technology

[0002] Marine organism transplantation can help restore damaged marine ecosystems, such as coral reefs and seagrass beds. By transplanting corals and seagrass, the structure and function of these ecosystems can be restored, providing habitats and food sources for numerous marine organisms, thereby promoting the restoration and maintenance of biodiversity.

[0003] In existing marine biological transplantation operations, marine biological samples are usually transported by ship. After arriving at the designated area, staff wearing special diving equipment need to go underwater to transplant these marine biological samples to the seabed.

[0004] However, existing ships cannot guarantee that marine life is always in a suitable seawater environment during transportation. Traditional methods of artificially irrigating seawater are inefficient and can easily affect the survival of marine life if not operated in a timely manner. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a special vessel for high-frequency marine biological transplantation with automatic seawater irrigation function, high working efficiency and high safety factor.

[0006] Technical Solution: The present invention discloses a special vessel for marine organism transplantation, comprising a vessel body with multiple storage boxes within it. The vessel body is equipped with an irrigation mechanism and an underwater visual detection mechanism. The irrigation mechanism includes a seawater delivery pipe, fan blades, a fan blade drive device, and atomizing nozzles. The seawater delivery pipe is connected to the atomizing nozzles, and seawater is pumped and atomized and sprayed into each storage box via a water pump, achieving efficient and automated irrigation, effectively improving operational efficiency and ensuring the survival rate of marine organisms. A fan blade is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the seawater delivery pipe near the atomizing nozzle. The fan blade is connected to the fan blade drive device, and the airflow generated by the rotation enhances the diffusion effect of the atomized seawater, expanding the spray range. The atomizing nozzles are used to irrigate the marine organisms in the storage boxes. The underwater visual detection mechanism is located at the stern, and an underwater camera is stably lowered to the seabed via a lifting assembly. Combined with a rotating camera assembly, it achieves omnidirectional perspective capture, improving the flexibility and coverage of seabed environmental detection, and significantly enhancing the safety and accuracy of transplantation operations.

[0007] Furthermore, the fan blade drive device includes a rotating sleeve, a gear ring, a drive gear, a motor, and a fixed housing. The rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the seawater delivery pipe. The surface of the rotating sleeve is provided with a gear ring and fan blades. The drive gear meshes with the gear ring. The output shaft of the motor passes through the fixed housing and is connected to the drive gear. The fixed housing is fixedly mounted on the seawater delivery pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the irrigation mechanism also includes a sliding mechanism, a water pump, and a long pumping pipe. The long pumping pipe is connected to the seawater delivery pipe via the water pump, and the water pump is fixed on the sliding mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the sliding mechanism includes a linear guide rail, bearing housings, a lead screw, a sliding seat, and a servo motor. Bearing housings are provided at both ends of the linear guide rail. The bearing housings are rotatably connected to the lead screw, and the lead screw is threadedly connected to the sliding seat. The water pump is fixed on the sliding seat, and the servo motor is used to drive the lead screw to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, a support side plate and a stern plate are respectively installed on the top side of the vessel body. A pouring mechanism is installed on the support side plate, and an underwater vision detection mechanism and a control panel are installed on the stern plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the underwater visual detection mechanism includes interconnected lifting components and rotating camera components.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a positioning seat, a stranded roller, a stepper motor, a worm gear, and a worm wheel. The stranded roller is rotatably connected to the positioning seat, the output shaft of the stepper motor is nestedly connected to the worm gear, the worm gear and the worm wheel mesh with each other, and the worm wheel is coaxially rotatably connected to the stranded roller.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating camera assembly includes a steel wire rope, a fixed pulley, a waterproof sealed box, and an underwater camera. One end of the steel wire rope is connected to a stranding roller, and the other end passes through the stranding roller and is connected to the waterproof sealed box. The underwater camera is installed below the waterproof sealed box.

[0014] Furthermore, a rotary motor, a driving bevel gear, a rotating shaft, and a driven bevel gear are installed inside the waterproof sealed box. The driving bevel gear is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the rotary motor. The driving bevel gear and the driven bevel gear mesh with each other. The driven bevel gear is fixedly connected to the camera mount through the rotating shaft. The camera mount is fixedly connected to the underwater camera.

[0015] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the waterproof sealed box via a sealed bearing.

[0016] Working principle: Multiple storage boxes are used to store different species of marine organisms awaiting transplantation, such as seaweed and coral reefs. These organisms are then transferred and transported by the ship itself. During the transfer, a servo motor drives a lead screw to rotate. Guided by a linear guide rail, a sliding seat threaded to the lead screw drives a spraying assembly connected to a water pump in a linear reciprocating motion. Seawater is drawn directly into the sea through a long pumping pipe and transported out through a seawater delivery pipe, then atomized and sprayed from the bottom atomizing nozzles. This automated irrigation of the marine organisms in each storage box is achieved through the reciprocating atomizing nozzles, reducing mortality during the transfer process.

[0017] A stepper motor drives a worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives a stranded roller to release a steel wire rope. Guided by a fixed pulley, the released steel wire rope controls an underwater camera to descend into the seabed for visual exploration, transmitting the captured seabed images in real time to a display screen on the control panel. A rotary motor drives a drive bevel gear, which in turn drives a driven bevel gear to rotate the camera mount connected to the bottom of a rotating shaft. This allows the underwater camera to rotate omnidirectionally on the seabed, increasing the visual capture range. This enables operators on board to directly survey the seabed topography, allowing for precise and rapid location of areas requiring marine organism transplantation. This reduces the frequency of manual underwater exploration, lowers the safety risks associated with prolonged underwater exploration, and contributes to a higher safety factor during the marine organism transplantation process.

[0018] Instructions for use: When using this device, the operator first turns on the main power of the system on the control panel and selects the marine organism species and storage box number through the control interface. Then, the irrigation system is started. The servo motor controls the sliding mechanism to drive the spraying components to move back and forth along the guide rail. At the same time, the water pump draws seawater and delivers it to the atomizing nozzle to achieve quantitative spraying of the selected storage box. The operator can set the spraying frequency and duration according to the marine organism species.

[0019] For underwater visual exploration, the operator triggers the lifting assembly via the control panel. A stepper motor drives a worm gear to rotate, causing a winch roller to release the steel cable and control the underwater camera to descend to the set depth. A fixed pulley guides the descent for stability. Subsequently, the rotating camera assembly can activate a rotating motor to control the underwater camera's horizontal or vertical rotation. The operator can view the images in real-time on the display screen and manually adjust the camera angle. After the exploration is complete, the operator controls the winch roller to reverse and tighten the steel cable, retrieving the underwater camera into a waterproof, sealed case to ensure equipment safety.

[0020] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant features:

[0021] 1. An automatic seawater irrigation mechanism is set up, which automatically irrigates the marine life stored in each storage box by directly pumping seawater and using reciprocating atomizing nozzles. This solves the problems of low efficiency and the risk of marine life survival due to untimely operation in traditional manual irrigation methods.

[0022] 2. The spraying assembly is set up. The motor controls the drive gear to rotate, and the gear ring meshing with the drive gear will drive the fan blades on the rotating sleeve to rotate. The airflow generated by the fan blades can spray the atomizing nozzles to disperse the seawater, thereby helping to improve the spraying range and spraying effect.

[0023] 3. The lifting assembly facilitates the deep insertion of the underwater camera into the seabed for visual exploration, and transmits the captured seabed image signals to the control panel display screen in real time. The rotating camera assembly allows the underwater camera to rotate omnidirectionally on the seabed, increasing the visual capture range. This enables operators on board to intuitively explore the seabed topography and environment, thereby accurately and quickly locating areas where marine organisms need to be transplanted. This reduces the frequency of manual underwater exploration, lowers the safety risks associated with prolonged underwater exploration, and helps improve the safety factor of the marine organism transplantation process.

[0031] like Figure 1 The marine biological transplant vessel includes multiple storage boxes 2 placed inside the vessel body 1, support side plates 5 welded to the side walls of the vessel body 1, and a stern plate 6 welded to the stern of the vessel body 1. The support side plates 5 are equipped with a pouring mechanism 3, and the stern plate 6 is equipped with an underwater vision detection mechanism 4 and a control panel 7.

[0032] like Figures 2-5 The irrigation mechanism 3 includes a seawater delivery pipe 31, a fan blade 32, a fan blade drive device 33, an atomizing nozzle 34, a sliding mechanism 35, a water pump 36, and a long pumping pipe 37. The atomizing nozzle 34 is installed at the bottom of the seawater delivery pipe 31. The seawater delivery pipe 31 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 36. The input end of the water pump 36 is fixedly connected to the long pumping pipe 37 that extends into the seawater. The distance between the atomizing nozzle 34 and the fan blade 32 is 5cm-10cm.

[0033] The fan blade drive device 33 includes a rotating sleeve 331, a gear ring 332, a drive gear 333, a motor 334, and a fixed housing 335. The rotating sleeve 331 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the seawater delivery pipe 31 via bearings. The fan blade 32 is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the rotating sleeve 331, and the gear ring 332 is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the rotating sleeve 331. The fixed housing 335 is fixedly mounted on the seawater delivery pipe 31. The motor 334 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the fixed housing 335, and the drive gear 333 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor 334. The output shaft of the motor 334 passes through the top of the fixed housing 335, and the drive gear 333 meshes with the gear ring 332. The motor 334 controls the drive gear 333 to rotate, and the gear ring 332 meshing with the drive gear 333 drives the fan blade 32 on the rotating sleeve 331 to rotate. The airflow generated by the rotation of the fan blade 32 can spray the atomizing nozzle 34 to disperse the seawater, thereby improving the spray range and spray effect.

[0034] The sliding mechanism 35 includes a linear guide rail 351, bearing seats 352, a lead screw 353, a sliding seat 354, and a servo motor 355. The linear guide rail 351 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the support side plate 5. Two bearing seats 352 are symmetrically fixed to the top outer wall of the linear guide rail 351. The lead screw 353 is rotatably mounted on the two bearing seats 352. The sliding seat 354 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 353. The water pump 36 is fixedly mounted on the top outer wall of the sliding seat 354. The servo motor 355 is fixedly mounted on the top outer wall of the support side plate 5. The output shaft of the servo motor 355 is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 353 via a coupling. The sliding seat 354 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 351.

[0035] First, multiple storage boxes 2 are used to store different species of marine organisms awaiting transplantation, such as seaweed and coral reefs, which are then transferred and transported via the ship's main body 1. Second, during the transfer, a servo motor 355 drives a lead screw 353 to rotate. Guided by a linear guide rail 351, a sliding seat 354 threaded to the lead screw 353 drives a spraying assembly connected to a water pump 36 in a linear reciprocating motion. At this time, seawater is directly pumped by the water pump 36 and transported through a seawater delivery pipe 31, then atomized and sprayed out by the atomizing nozzle 34 at the bottom. This allows for automated irrigation of the marine organisms stored in each storage box 2 via the reciprocating atomizing nozzle 34, reducing the mortality rate of marine organisms during the transfer process.

[0036] like Figures 6-7The tailplate 6 is equipped with an underwater visual detection mechanism 4, which includes a lifting assembly 41 and a rotating camera assembly 42. The lifting assembly 41 includes two positioning seats 411 symmetrically fixed to the top outer wall of the tailplate 6, a stranded roller 412 rotatably mounted on the two positioning seats 411, a stepper motor 413 fixedly mounted to the top outer wall of the tailplate 6, a worm gear 414 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the stepper motor 413, and a worm wheel 415 fixedly mounted on one end of the stranded roller 412. A wire rope 421 is wound around the stranded roller 412. The worm gear 414 and worm wheel 415 mesh with each other, and the self-locking and deceleration properties of the meshed worm gear 414 and worm wheel 415 ensure the stability of the lifting operation. A fixed pulley 422 is fixedly mounted on the top outer wall of the tailplate 6, and the fixed pulley 422 is slidably connected to the wire rope 421. The guiding effect of the fixed pulley 422 further ensures the stability of the lifting process. The rotating camera assembly 42 includes a steel wire rope 421, a fixed pulley 422, a waterproof sealed box 423 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom end of the steel wire rope 421, a rotating motor 425 fixedly installed in the waterproof sealed box 423 via a motor support plate, a driving bevel gear 426 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the rotating motor 425, a rotating shaft 427, a driven bevel gear 428 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 427, a camera mount 429 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom end of the rotating shaft 427, and an underwater camera 424 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the camera mount 429. The rotating shaft 427 is connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the waterproof sealed box 423 through a sealed bearing. The driving bevel gear 426 and the driven bevel gear 428 mesh with each other. A control panel 7 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the top of the tailplate 6. The underwater camera 424 and the rotating motor 425 are electrically connected to the control panel 7 via wireless transmission.

[0037] First, a stepper motor 413 drives a worm gear 414 to rotate. A worm wheel 415, meshing with the worm gear 414, then drives a stranded roller 412 to rotate, releasing a steel wire rope 421. Guided by a fixed pulley 422, the released steel wire rope 421 controls the underwater camera 424 to descend into the seabed for visual exploration, transmitting the captured seabed image signals in real-time to the display screen of the control panel 7. Second, a rotary motor 425 drives a drive bevel gear 426 to rotate. A driven bevel gear 428, meshing with the drive bevel gear 426, then drives a camera mount 429 connected to the bottom of a rotating shaft 427 to rotate. This allows the underwater camera 424 to rotate omnidirectionally on the seabed, increasing the visual capture range. This enables operators on board to visually survey the seabed topography, allowing for precise and rapid location of areas requiring marine organism transplantation. This reduces the frequency of manual underwater exploration, lowers the safety risks associated with prolonged underwater exploration, and helps improve the safety of the marine organism transplantation process.
