[0002] With the construction and rapid development of the port, the increasing number of small ships entering and leaving the port to load and unload ships and serving ships in the port will bring great pressure to the ecological environment of the port area, especially the risk of oil spills from ships in the port area. Some illegal and illegal ships secretly discharge oily water, which will also cause great damage to the marine environment of the port area. In addition, various emergencies caused by ship navigation and berthing operations, oil-related operations, ship repairs, etc. may cause serious oil spills and may seriously affect the normal operation and production of the port.

[0003] As the whole society pays more and more attention to marine environmental protection, the responsibilities of marine-related enterprises and maritime regulatory authorities are becoming heavier. How to effectively solve or deal with this problem requires not only full recognition and high attention from relevant departments and enterprises, but also the establishment of sound management methods to avoid and reduce the occurrence of various oil spill accidents as much as possible from a system perspective.

[0004] By equipping with advanced oil spill monitoring equipment and establishing effective emergency response plans, when oil spills occur, they can be discovered as early as possible and timely measures can be taken to reduce economic losses and harm to the environment, protect the marine environment, and promote sustainable social and economic development.

[0005] The existing oil spill monitoring system only has the functions of on-site sound and light alarm and real-time data transmission, which has a poor effect on oil spill monitoring. It is impossible to automatically capture pictures for oil spill alarm and it is not convenient to manually view real-time monitoring data. There are the following problems: the existing oil spill monitoring system mainly relies on on-site sound and light alarm and real-time data transmission functions, and the monitoring effect of this method is not ideal. First, the system lacks the function of automatically capturing pictures. When an oil spill occurs, it is impossible to capture and record the on-site situation of the oil spill in time, which brings difficulties to the subsequent accident analysis and handling. Secondly, although real-time data transmission can provide oil spill information in a timely manner, data viewing is not convenient enough, especially in emergency situations that require rapid response. Manual data viewing may delay the processing time.

[0006] Therefore, based on the above technical problems, it is necessary for technicians in this field to develop a surface oil spill monitoring and alarm system. Utility Model Content

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the oil spill detector is composed of a fluorescent emitter and a light detector, the fluorescent emitter is used to emit conical ultraviolet pulse light waves, and the light detector is used to receive reflected light.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the oil spill detector, camera and sound and light alarm are commonly connected to an alarm system component, and the alarm system component includes a control terminal, an optical terminal, an analysis module, a cloud platform and a portable terminal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only intended to provide a better understanding of the present invention by illustrating examples of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution of a water surface oil spill monitoring and alarm system: it includes an explosion-proof box 1, a matching box cover 11 is arranged on the top of the explosion-proof box 1, the explosion-proof box 1 and the box cover 11 are assembled and connected by bolts, an oil spill detector 2 is arranged in the explosion-proof box 1, the oil spill detector 2 is composed of a fluorescent emitter 21 and a light detector 22, the fluorescent emitter 21 is used to emit a conical ultraviolet pulse light wave, the light detector 22 is used to receive reflected light, the oil spill detector 2 is used to detect oil on the water surface, a camera 3 is arranged in the explosion-proof box 1, the lens of the camera 3 penetrates the box wall vertically downward, an audible and visual alarm 4 is arranged in the explosion-proof box 1, and the audible and visual alarm 4 penetrates the box cover 11 and extends upward, the oil spill detector 2, the camera 3 and the audible and visual alarm The devices 4 are connected together with an alarm system component, which includes a control terminal 6, an optical terminal 5, an analysis module 7, a cloud platform 8 and a portable terminal 9. The oil spill detector 2, the camera 3 and the sound and light alarm 4 are all connected to the control terminal 6 through the optical terminal 5. The control terminal 6 is connected to the analysis module 7 and the cloud platform 8. The analysis module 7 analyzes and processes the received data from the oil spill detector 2, the camera 3 and the sound and light alarm 4, and transmits the processing results to the control terminal 6, which is uploaded to the cloud platform 8 by the control terminal 6. The cloud platform 8 is used to store, analyze and display the received data. The cloud platform 8 is connected to the portable terminal 9, and the portable terminal 9 is used to send alarm information to relevant personnel so that timely response measures can be taken.

[0021] In this embodiment, when an oil spill occurs in the monitoring area, the oil spill detector 2 will work immediately, and the fluorescent emitter 21 will emit a cone-shaped ultraviolet pulse light wave. When these light waves encounter oil on the water surface, they will be absorbed or reflected by the oil. The reflected light is then captured by the light detector 22. When these light waves irradiate the water surface, if the water surface contains alkane or aromatic hydrocarbon molecules, these molecules will be reflected back into the light detector. Subsequently, through the analysis of optical software, we can determine whether an oil spill has occurred on the water surface, and at the same time, the camera 3 will also capture the on-site picture of the oil spill.

[0022] Once the oil spill detector 2 or the camera 3 detects an abnormal situation, they will immediately transmit the signal to the optical transceiver 5. The optical transceiver 5 converts these signals into data that can be read on the control terminal 6. After receiving these data, the control terminal 6 will immediately send them to the analysis module 7.

[0023] The analysis module 7 will perform detailed analysis and processing on the received data. It will compare the data of the oil spill detector 2 and the camera 3 to confirm whether an oil spill has really occurred. At the same time, it will also judge the severity of the oil spill based on the received data. The analysis module 7 transmits these analysis results and the on-site images of the oil spill to the control terminal 6.

[0024] After receiving the data from the analysis module 7, the control terminal 6 will immediately upload the information to the cloud platform 8. The cloud platform 8 is a large data processing center that can store, analyze and display the received data. The cloud platform 8 will decide whether to send an alarm message to the portable terminal 9 based on the judgment of the analysis module 7.

[0025] If the cloud platform 8 determines that an oil spill has occurred, it will immediately send an alarm message to the portable terminal 9. This information includes the severity of the oil spill, the location of the incident, the on-site picture, etc. After receiving this information, the portable terminal 9 will immediately send an alarm message to relevant personnel so that they can take timely response measures to prevent the oil spill from causing greater impact on the environment and ecology.

[0026] In this way, the explosion-proof box 1 of this embodiment and the alarm system components connected thereto can quickly and accurately issue an alarm when an oil spill occurs, helping relevant personnel to take timely response measures, thereby effectively protecting the environment and ecology.
