Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of environmental monitoring equipment, in particular to an environmental monitoring buoy. Background Art

[0002] Environmental monitoring refers to the activities of environmental monitoring agencies to monitor and measure the environmental quality status. By monitoring and measuring indicators that reflect environmental quality, the environmental pollution status and the level of environmental quality are determined. The content of environmental monitoring mainly includes the monitoring of physical indicators, chemical indicators and ecosystems.

[0049] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] An environmental monitoring buoy, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a buoy body 1, a water quality monitor 4 arranged below the buoy body 1 and used to monitor water quality, a driving module for driving the buoy body 1 to move, a power supply module capable of supplying power to the driving module, and a control module.

[0052] The driving module includes a water pump 2 and a flow diversion component 3.

[0053] Among them, the water pump 2 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the buoy body 1, and is connected to an inlet pipe 21 and an outlet pipe 22. One end of the inlet pipe 21 passes through the buoy body 1 and extends downward into the water body. A water inlet filter protection mesh cover 211 is installed at the water inlet of the inlet pipe 21, which is used to filter the incoming water to prevent blockage or damage to the water pump 2; one end of the outlet pipe 22 passes through the buoy body 1 and is connected to the diversion component 3 located on the lower side of the buoy body 1, which is used to pass water into the diversion component 3.

[0054] The flow diversion assembly 3 includes a first flow diversion pipe 31 and a second flow diversion pipe 32 which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the buoy body 1, and a flow guide pipe 33 which is connected between the first flow diversion pipe 31 and the second flow diversion pipe 32 and is in communication with the two. The middle of the flow guide pipe 33 is connected with the outlet pipe 22. The first flow diversion pipe 31 and the second flow diversion pipe 32 are respectively provided with control valves 34 on both sides. The control valves 34 have an open state and a closed state. When the water pump 2 is working, water flows into the water pump 2 from the water inlet pipe 21 and flows into the first flow diversion pipe 31 and the second flow diversion pipe 32 on both sides through the outlet pipe 22 and the flow guide pipe 33 in sequence. By controlling the opening and closing of the control valves 34 on both sides of the first flow diversion pipe 31 and the second flow diversion pipe 32, the water discharge of the first flow diversion pipe 31 and the second flow diversion pipe 32 is utilized to promote the movement of the buoy body 1.

[0055] Specifically, the first shunt pipe 31 and the second shunt pipe 32 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the buoy body 1. The first shunt pipe 31 and the second shunt pipe 32 are preferably straight pipes extending in the front-to-back direction. Control valves 34 are respectively arranged at the front outlet 311 of the first diverter pipe, the rear outlet 312 of the first diverter pipe, the front outlet 321 of the second diverter pipe, and the rear outlet 322 of the second diverter pipe. When it is necessary to control the buoy body 1 to move forward, the control valves 34 located at the front outlet 311 of the first diverter pipe and the front outlet 321 of the second diverter pipe are closed, and the control valves 34 located at the rear outlet 312 of the first diverter pipe and the rear outlet 322 of the second diverter pipe are opened, and the water pump 2 works, and the pumped water is discharged from the rear outlet 312 of the first diverter pipe and the rear outlet 322 of the second diverter pipe, thereby pushing the buoy body 1 forward; when it is necessary to control the buoy body 1 to move backward, the control valves 34 located at the front outlet 311 of the first diverter pipe and the front outlet 321 of the second diverter pipe are opened, and the control valves 34 located at the rear outlet 312 of the first diverter pipe and the rear outlet 322 of the second diverter pipe are closed. When the buoy body 1 needs to be controlled to turn, for example, to control the buoy body 1 to turn right, the control valve 34 at the rear outlet 312 of the first shunt pipe or the front outlet 311 of the first shunt pipe is opened, and the other control valves 34 are closed, and water flows out from the rear outlet 312 of the first shunt pipe or the front outlet 311 of the first shunt pipe, and the buoy body 1 has a tendency to turn right; for another example, to control the buoy body 1 to turn left, the control valve 34 at the rear outlet 322 of the second shunt pipe or the front outlet 321 of the second shunt pipe is opened, and the other control valves 34 are closed, which is very convenient to operate. Preferably, the control valve 34 is an electrically controlled valve.

[0056] The buoy body 1 can float on the water surface, and includes a supporting floating plate 11, an auxiliary floating plate 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the supporting floating plate 11, and a supporting column 13 fixedly connected to the bottom of the auxiliary floating plate 12 and extending downward. Among them, the supporting floating plate 11 and the auxiliary floating plate 12 are circular. The supporting column 13 is connected to the water inlet pipe 21 through a connecting rod 14, which is convenient for fixing the supporting column 13 and the water inlet pipe 21. The bottom of the supporting column 13 is connected to the water quality monitor 4, and the outer side of the water quality monitor 4 is provided with a water quality monitor filter protection net cover 41 to prevent foreign matter from affecting the water quality monitor 4.

[0057] The power supply module includes a battery 8 and a photoelectric conversion component.

[0058] The storage battery 8 is a rechargeable storage battery 8, which is electrically connected to the water pump 2 and the control valve 34. The photoelectric conversion component includes a solar panel 61 located above the buoy body 1 and an adapter 62 for connecting the solar panel 61 to the storage battery 8. The solar panel 61 can be used to convert light energy into electrical energy, thereby charging the storage battery 8 to ensure long-term outdoor operation.

[0059] The control module includes a control box 7 disposed on the upper side of the buoy body 1. A single-chip microcomputer controller is disposed in the control box 7 to control the electrical components in the device, such as controlling the opening or closing of the control valve 34, the start of the circulation pump, etc. At the same time, a remote transmission module is disposed in the control box 7 to facilitate remote control. A common method is to set a phone card to remotely control the electrical components in the device through flow. This is relatively low in cost and easy to use, and the control distance is also far enough.

[0060] The environmental monitoring buoy also includes a protective plate 51 obliquely arranged above the buoy body 1, a plurality of connecting columns 52 for connecting the protective plate 51 and the buoy body 1, a solar panel 61 is arranged on the upper side of the protective plate 51, and a water pump 2, a battery 8, an adapter 62, and a control box 7 are located between the protective plate 51 and the buoy body 1.

[0061] The environmental monitoring buoy also includes a light sensor 63 and a plurality of lighting lamps 9 arranged on the protective plate 51, which can perform light-emitting operations at night, thereby preventing the buoy from being accidentally hit by ships in a larger river area at night.

[0062] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the utility model, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with the technology to understand the content of the utility model and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
