Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ocean detection, in particular to a GNSS tide level observation buoy. Background Art

[0002] There are currently two main types of offshore tide observation: pressure tide gauges and GNSS tide observation buoys. GNSS tide observation buoys are flexible and inexpensive, and combined with satellite communications / mobile Internet, they can easily realize remote sensing and reporting of offshore tides. Therefore, the constantly improving GNSS tide observation buoy observation will be an inevitable trend in offshore tide observation.

[0003] After searching, Chinese patent publication number CN212254089U discloses a GNSS tide observation buoy, including a buoy body and a GNSS positioning module, a communication module and a solar cell group arranged inside the buoy body. The buoy also includes an attitude stabilization part and an attitude compensation part. The attitude stabilization part includes a balance ring, a telescopic rod and a counterweight ring. The telescopic rod includes a sleeve rod vertically connected to the center of the bottom of the buoy body and a telescopic mark rod inserted in the sleeve rod. A circular baffle is provided at the lower end of the telescopic mark rod and is vertically fixed thereto. A counterweight ring is placed on the circular baffle. The counterweight ring is sleeved on the telescopic mark rod. A mooring hole is provided on one side of the circular baffle. The mooring hole is connected to one end of the cable, and the other end of the cable is connected to the seabed base. The attitude compensation part includes a barometer, an inertial measurement unit, a density meter, a pressure sensor and a data fusion module. The utility model can reduce the influence of wind and waves and tides on its attitude, eliminate dynamic draft errors, and significantly improve the accuracy of tide observation.

[0004] However, in the above technical scheme, the buoy's posture is stabilized only by the balance ring telescopic rod and the counterweight ring, and the solar cell group installed inside the buoy body generates electricity to provide power for other electrical equipment of the observation buoy.
