A multifunctional intelligent navigation beacon
By designing an intelligent navigation beacon, the height of the lighting unit is adjusted using the driving force of water waves, which solves the problem of instability in the indication of existing navigation beacons when they are fluctuating, and achieves a stable lighting effect under different water surface conditions.

AI Technical Summary
When existing navigation marks move on the water surface, the indicator lights tend to tilt with the buoy, causing the indicated height to decrease. Furthermore, they lack the ability to adaptively adjust the brightness of the lights, affecting visibility and recognition.
Design a multifunctional intelligent navigation beacon that utilizes the natural driving force generated by water wave motion through the coordination of a suspension module, adjustment unit, and lighting unit to achieve adaptive lifting and lowering adjustment of the lighting unit. The beacon includes a lifting rod, a guide component, and a drive component, combined with a vertical limiting unit and an articulated ball sleeve to maintain the stable height and direction of the lighting unit.
Maintaining stable illumination of navigation marks in adverse sea conditions and preventing reduced illumination due to tilting or undulation of the buoy improves the visibility and adaptability of navigation marks.
