Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of navigation marks, in particular to a deep-water buoy used for water surface monitoring. Background Art

[0002] A buoy is a kind of navigation mark floating on the water surface. It is anchored at a designated location and used to mark the scope of a waterway, indicate a shoal, an obstruction, or a surface navigation mark 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 a buoy is to mark shoals in a waterway or obstacles that endanger navigation safety.

[0003] In deep and ultra-deep waters with a depth of more than 400m and relatively bad sea conditions, the lack of deep-water observation buoys that can adapt to bad sea conditions has resulted in insufficient monitoring of these areas, an inability to form a complete monitoring network, and difficulty in obtaining long-term, continuous, and accurate statistics on ocean conditions. With the gradual increase in the intensity of marine development, marine environmental monitoring, as a technical support for marine development, has become increasingly important.

[0004] As a new type of ocean monitoring tool, ocean buoys are developed on the basis of traditional ocean monitoring technology. They are unmanned monitoring systems that can automatically, fixed-point, timed and continuously perform remote sensing of various environmental elements at sea. Together with marine surveillance aircraft, satellites, ocean survey ships and submersibles, they form a three-dimensional ocean monitoring system. Ocean buoys need to meet the following requirements: uninterrupted monitoring, long life, multi-function, low cost, strong survivability, low energy consumption and no pollution. For deep-water buoys, buoys work in fixed deep water for a long time and often encounter harsh conditions, so the stability of the buoys and the movement performance in the waves are very important. In the existing technology, many buoys capsize and sink when encountering strong winds and waves. There are problems such as poor impact resistance, poor resistance to harsh environmental conditions and short service life. In addition, the existing buoys have relatively single functions and limited monitoring information. Most of them provide simple safety information to ships through navigation lights and appearance, which makes it difficult to form a complete ocean monitoring system.

[0005] Chinese patent CN201220079085.3 discloses a HF deep-water buoy, including a floating body and a tripod, characterized in that: the tripod is installed above the floating body, a mooring ear is also provided above the floating body, an anti-collision ring is provided on the periphery of the floating body, the anti-collision ring is located at 3 / 5 above the periphery of the floating body, a top mark is provided on the top of the tripod; a solar battery box is provided on the floating body; a mounting frame for installing a solar panel is provided at the lower end of the top mark on the tripod; an LED navigation light is also provided below the solar panel; and a day mark section is provided on the tripod. The utility model has the advantages of a solid structure, strong buoyancy, and can be deployed in deep waters of more than 100 meters.

[0006] Although the above-mentioned buoys have realized the basic functions of buoys, their stability and movement performance in waves are poor, and the monitoring data information is limited.

[0007] Deepwater buoy is a new type of marine environment monitoring system with unique excellence in marine environment monitoring. Since there is currently little research on deep-sea buoys, developing a marine environment monitoring buoy suitable for deep-sea operations to adapt to future deep-sea resource development is an issue that needs to be urgently addressed.
