Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of marine monitoring equipment, in particular to a marine buoy monitoring device. Background Art

[0002] Offshore lighthouses (buoys) are widely distributed and not centralized. They float with the waves. The installation and after-sales service of products on lighthouses are very inconvenient. They are unattended and easily hit by waves and collided by passing ships. Compared with land projects, offshore projects have more stringent conditions. High salt spray and high humidity environments have a great impact on equipment, and equipment safety and durability face many challenges.

[0003] Most of the existing buoy monitoring equipment has only one camera. In order to monitor the surrounding environment, several cameras have to be arranged in several directions, which are not related to each other. Wiring and installation are a big challenge. Since multiple sets of products are arranged, there are many problems and the later maintenance cost is high. Most of the existing offshore buoy monitoring equipment directly fixes each component with screws, which is easy to cause rigid connection. Once it is hit or hit by external force, the seam is easy to deform and crack. Secondly, the existing offshore monitoring equipment only has 3G or 4G communication. The antenna is often fixed on the plastic shell, or an external antenna is used and erected next to it, which is easy to damage. The plastic shell is easy to crack and water ingress, and the erected antenna is easy to bend and fall. In addition, most of the existing offshore monitoring equipment does not have Beidou communication. Basically, 4G communication becomes unavailable in places far away from the sea. It is easy to become a stand-alone product, which needs to be inspected once in a while, resulting in high maintenance costs. At the same time, it is impossible to report the surrounding environment to the control center in real time.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device to address some of the shortcomings of current marine monitoring products, while also being waterproof, corrosion-resistant, salt spray-resistant, impact-resistant, and easy to deploy and install, as well as for after-sales upgrades.

[0031] A base 1, wherein the base 1 is provided with an annular wall, the outer surface of the annular wall is provided with a first external thread, and the outer side of the annular wall is sleeved with a first waterproof rubber ring adapted to the shape of the annular wall;

[0032] The shell body 4 is in a hollow cylindrical shape, and one end of the shell body 4 close to the base 1 is threadedly connected to the annular wall and the inner peripheral wall is provided with a first internal thread matched with the first external thread, and the outer peripheral wall of the shell body 4 away from the base 1 is provided with a second external thread and a second waterproof rubber ring is sleeved on the outer side;

[0033] The radome 6 is threadedly connected to the end of the shell body 4 away from the base 1, and the inner peripheral wall of the end of the radome 6 close to the shell body 4 is provided with a second internal thread adapted to the second external thread;

[0034] At least four cameras 3 are evenly distributed around the shell body, arranged in rows and fixed by screws so as to be embedded in the shell body. A third waterproof rubber ring 7 is provided between the camera 3 and the shell body 4.

[0035] Specifically, the base 1 supports the shell body 4, and the base 1 is threadedly connected to the shell body 4 and sealed by the first waterproof rubber ring 2. The shell body is evenly and spacedly provided with mounting grooves, and the inner edge of the groove of the mounting groove is provided with a third waterproof rubber ring 7. The camera 3 first passes through the third waterproof rubber ring 7 and is inserted into the mounting groove of the shell body 4, and is fixed to the shell body 4 by tightening the camera fixing screw 11. The second waterproof rubber ring 5 is on the shell body 4 and between the antenna cover 6. There is a TF card slot on the lower side of the shell body 4, and the fourth waterproof rubber ring 9 is pressed by the TF card slot cover 8 to protect the TF card slot. The middle of the base 1 is a threading hole, and the wire is fixed by a hollow pipe fitting to press the waterproof silicone ring. The threading hole is installed with a hollow pipe fitting, and the wire connected to the electronic mainboard passes through the hollow pipe fitting to connect with the external power supply system and the data system, and the hollow pipe fitting is filled with waterproof silicone.

[0036] Working principle: The electronic mainboard is fixed inside the shell body 4, and the 4G module and Beidou module are fixed on the antenna cover 6. After installing the electronic mainboard and the 4G and Beidou modules, introduce the wire from the wire hole 10 of the base 1. One end of the wire is connected to the electronic mainboard, and the other end is left outside the base 1 to connect to the external power supply system and data system, and then fix the wire fixing screws. Pass the four cameras 3 through the shell body, and after fixing the cameras 3 inside the shell body 4 with the camera fixing screws 11, lock the base 1 and the shell body 4, lock the shell body 4 and the antenna cover 6, and lock the TF card slot cover 8 and the shell body 4. The complete shell is installed.

[0037] The utility model is designed to have at least 4 cameras distributed around the shell body, so as to monitor the ships coming and going at 360 degrees without blind spots. The 4 cameras can work at the same time after one installation and one wiring, and are interconnected and uniformly managed by the control center. By designing the antenna cover of fiberglass, it can easily pass 4G signals, while resisting the beating of sea water, wind and sun, and even the collision of ships. At the joints of each component, a waterproof rubber ring with a thickness of more than 1 cm is basically used for joints. First, it is waterproof, second, it plays a role in shockproofing and buffering external forces to protect the shell from deformation, third, it well protects the electronic components inside the shell, and fourth, it also provides convenience for later maintenance and shell disassembly.

At the same time, fiberglass is used as the antenna cover, which can not only pack structural strength, but also penetrate 4G and Beidou electromagnetic waves. This utility model uses fiberglass antenna cover to fix the Beidou module on the antenna cover, so that when the 4G antenna signal is weak, this product can communicate with the control center through Beidou signal and report the surrounding environmental information in real time. It can achieve true unattended operation.

[0039] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are described above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention can also have various changes without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
