[0002] A warning buoy, also known as a warning buoy, refers to a kind of navigation mark floating on the water surface. It is anchored at a designated location and is used to mark the range of a waterway, indicate shoals, obstructions, or indicate a surface navigation aid for a special purpose. Buoys are the most numerous and widely used among navigation marks. They are set in places where it is difficult or inappropriate to set up fixed navigation marks. The function of the buoy is to mark waterway shoals or obstacles that endanger navigation safety. A buoy equipped with lights is called a light buoy. It is used as a signal buoy for navigation in waters navigable day and night. Some buoys are also equipped with radar transponders, radio beacons, fog warning signals, ocean survey instruments and other equipment.

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] Embodiment 1 of the present application provides a warning float with an alarm function, comprising: a base 1, a warning component 2 and an energy recovery component 4; the warning component 2 is arranged on the base 1, and the energy recovery component 4 is arranged between the base 1 and the warning component 2.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, a cylindrical float is fixed on the side wall of the base 1, and a number of floats are arranged at equal distances, and the whole forms a circular structure, which increases the overall stability of the warning float. The warning component 2 includes a tray 21, a float 22 and a docking cavity 23. The docking cavity 23 is arranged at the top center of the base 1. The tray 21 is slidably connected in the docking cavity 23, and the float 22 is fixed on the tray 21.

[0031] The energy recovery component 4 is arranged in the docking cavity 23, and the energy recovery component 4 includes a transmission unit and a generator 43; the tray 21 is connected to the generator 43 through the transmission unit, and the up and down movement of the tray 21 will drive the transmission unit and enable the generator 43 to generate electricity.

[0032] The transmission unit includes a connecting rod 41, a transmission rod 42, a rack 44 and a gear 45; one end of the connecting rod 41 and the generator 43 are fixed to the side wall of the docking chamber 23, and the connecting rod 41 and the generator 43 are located on the same horizontal line, and the transmission rod 42 is coaxially connected between the connecting rod 41 and the output shaft of the generator 43; the rack 44 is vertically fixed to the bottom of the supporting tray 21, and the gear 45 is coaxially fixed to the transmission rod 42, and the rack 44 is located on one side of the gear 45 and meshes with the gear 45.

[0033] It should be noted that, in order to save energy, existing warning buoys generally have solar energy devices installed on them to collect solar energy. However, on some buoys with alarm functions, the power consumption is relatively high, and solar energy alone cannot supply electricity to the buoy. There are certain limitations. In order to solve this problem, an energy recovery component 4 is provided in the present scheme, so that the warning buoy can drive the gear 45 to rotate through the rack 44 in the energy recovery component 4 in the waves, and then drive the transmission rod 42 and the output shaft of the generator 43 to rotate through the gear 45, and then generate electricity through the generator 43, so as to realize the recovery and utilization of the gravitational potential energy of the waves and the buoy 22 itself, and cooperate with the solar energy device installed on the buoy 22 itself, effectively solving the problem that the energy-saving device on the current warning buoy cannot supply electricity to the buoy.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the scheme mainly includes a base 1, a warning component 2, a shock absorbing component 3 and an energy recovery component 4. When in use, the warning component 2 is supported by the base 1, and a warning is given by the warning component 2. When encountering waves, the warning component 2 is shock-absorbing by the shock absorbing component 3, and at the same time of shock absorption, the gravitational potential energy is recovered by the energy recovery component 4.

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, the energy recovery component 4 also includes a driven disc 46 and a driving disc 47, the driven disc 46 is connected to the transmission rod 42, the driving disc 47 is connected to the connecting rod 41 and the output shaft of the generator 43, and the driving disc 47 is rotatably connected to the inside of the driven disc 46, and a limiting groove 48 is provided on the inner wall of the driven disc 46, and a clamping groove 49 is provided on the driving disc 47, and a second reset member 410 is provided in the clamping groove 49, and a limiting bead 411 is abutted at one end of the second reset member 410, and the limiting bead 411 is slidably clamped between the limiting groove 48 and the clamping groove 49.

[0036] Embodiment 2:

[0037] Based on Example 1, Example 2 of the present application provides another warning buoy with an alarm function, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it comprises: a base 1, a warning component 2, a shock absorbing component 3 and an energy recovery component 4. The shock absorbing component 3 is arranged between the base 1 and the warning component 2.

[0038] The shock absorbing assembly 3 includes a support rod 31, a damping rod 32 and a first reset member 33. The support rod 31 is fixed to the bottom of the docking cavity 23.

The first reset member 33 is sleeved on the outside of the damping rod 32 and is located between the supporting tray 21 and the support rod 31.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the base 1 rises and falls under the action of waves, the warning component 2 is damped by the shock absorbing component 3 to avoid damage to the warning component 2.

[0040] It should be noted that the parts in this embodiment that are the same or similar to those in Embodiment 1 can be referenced to each other and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0041] Embodiment 3:

[0042] Based on Examples 1 and 2, Example 3 of the present application provides a working method of a warning buoy, including:

[0043] Step 1: When the base 1 rises and falls under the action of waves, the support tray 21 moves up and down.

[0044] In step 1, the warning component 2 is damped by the damping component 3.

[0045] Step 2: The up and down movement of the tray 21 drives the rack 44 to move synchronously, and the rack 44 drives the gear 45 to mesh synchronously.

[0046] In step 2, when the rack 44 moves downward, the limit bead 411 is engaged between the limit groove 48 and the engaging groove 49, and the driven disk 46 and the active disk 47 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the output shaft of the generator 43 to rotate to generate electricity. When the rack 44 moves in the opposite direction, the limit bead 411 slides into the engaging groove 49, and the driven disk 46 and the active disk 47 rotate separately.

[0047] Step 3: The gear 45 drives the transmission rod 42 and the output shaft of the generator 43 to rotate, thereby generating electricity through the generator 43.

[0048] Specifically, the method provided in this embodiment is a method corresponding to the device provided in Embodiments 1 and 2. Therefore, the parts in this embodiment that are the same or similar to Embodiments 1 and 2 can be referenced to each other and will not be repeated in this application.
