Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of underwater equipment, and specifically relates to an underwater cleaning device for a buoy. Background Art

[0002] A buoy is a navigation mark floating on the water surface and is widely used in multiple fields such as navigation, fishery, and scientific research. A buoy is anchored at a designated position to mark the range of a waterway, indicate shoals, navigational hazards, or represent a water surface navigation aid for a specific purpose. It has functions such as navigation guidance, waterway marking, and safety warning.

[0003] When an existing navigation mark is in use, the navigation mark is placed in a specified water area, and at the same time, a sinker is connected to the bottom of the navigation mark through a cable to relatively fix the position of the navigation mark.

[0004] Navigation marks are commonly used in sea lanes. After the navigation marks are placed, they generally do not easily leave the water surface. Therefore, barnacles and mussels are likely to attach to the position below the water surface of the navigation mark, causing corrosion problems to the navigation mark body.

[0005] Therefore, the utility model provides an underwater cleaning device for a buoy. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art and solve at least one technical problem proposed in the background art.

[0008] Preferably, a water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second cleaning ring; cavities are opened inside both the second cleaning ring and the first cleaning ring; the water supply pipe is communicated with the cavity; the first cleaning ring and the second cleaning ring are communicated through a conduit; a plurality of water spray holes are opened on the inner side walls of the second cleaning ring and the first cleaning ring; this setting sprays water on the buoy through the water spray holes, which can further reduce the attachment of barnacles and mussels on the buoy body, thereby reducing the corrosion problem of the attachment to the buoy body; at the same time, the water sprayed from the water spray holes can clean the impurities between the brushes and maintain the cleaning effect when the brushes are in use.

[0009] Preferably, an elastic net is fixedly connected between the plurality of adjacent link rods; the elastic net covers the outside of the first cleaning ring. By providing an elastic net between the link rods, when the buoy is placed in flowing water, the direct contact between floating objects in the water and the surface of the buoy below the water surface can be reduced, thereby reducing the adhesion of attachments on the buoy.

[0010] Preferably, a bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the floating block; a first limiting ring is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket; a column is fixedly connected to the top of the first limiting ring; a second limiting ring is fixedly connected to the top of the column. By providing a bracket and a first limiting ring on the top of the floating block, when the floating block is installed around the buoy, the second limiting ring and the first limiting ring can be sleeved on the middle part of the buoy, so that the swinging of the floating block and the buoy is kept consistent, reducing the damage problem caused by collision between the floating block and the buoy. At the same time, because there is a gap between the first limiting ring and the middle part of the buoy, a stable relative movement between the brush and the buoy can be achieved.

[0011] Preferably, a plurality of first springs are fixedly connected to the inner side walls of the second limiting ring and the first limiting ring; a rubber block is fixedly connected to the end of the first spring; by providing the first springs and the rubber blocks on the inner side walls of the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring, when the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring are sleeved on the buoy, the relative positions of the first limiting ring, the second limiting ring and the buoy can be maintained, reducing the damage problem caused by the direct impact of the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring on the middle part of the buoy.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of second springs are fixedly connected to the side wall of the floating block; a baffle is fixedly connected to the end of the second spring; by providing the second springs and the baffle around the floating block, when there are impurities and floating objects approaching the floating block on the water surface, the contact between the baffle and the floating objects can be used to protect the floating block, reducing the problem of center of gravity deviation caused by deformation due to the contact between the floating block and a large number of floating objects.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. For the buoy underwater cleaning device of the present utility model, by providing a brush that can float up and down around the buoy, when the buoy is placed on the sea surface for a long time, the surface of the buoy can be cleaned, reducing the attachment of organisms such as barnacles or mussels.

[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific implementation manners.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a buoy underwater cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a floating block 1; a plurality of connecting rods 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the floating block 1; a first cleaning ring 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rods 11; a plurality of conduits 13 are fixedly connected to the top of the first cleaning ring 12; a second cleaning ring 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the conduits 13; a plurality of brushes 15 are fixedly connected to the inner side walls of the first cleaning ring 12 and the second cleaning ring 14. During operation, first, the floating block 1 is sleeved outside the buoy to be cleaned, and then the buoy and the floating block 1 are placed on the water surface at the same time. At this time, the floating block 1 can float on the water surface, and the connecting rods 11 and the first cleaning ring 12 sink below the water surface. At this time, the brushes 15 on the inner side wall of the first cleaning ring 12 can contact the buoy body, and at the same time, the brushes 15 on the second cleaning ring 14 can also contact the surface of the buoy, so as to reduce the attachments on the surface of the buoy body below the water surface. When there are waves on the water surface, due to the different contact areas between the floating block 1 and the buoy and the water surface, during the up and down floating process of the buoy and the floating block 1, a relative movement state between the buoy and the floating block 1 occurs. At this time, the brushes 15 on the second cleaning ring 14 and the first cleaning ring 12 can repeatedly contact and rub the surface of the buoy; by providing brushes 15 that can float up and down around the buoy, when the buoy is placed on the sea surface for a long time, the surface of the buoy can be cleaned, and the attachment of barnacles or mussels and other organisms can be reduced.

[0026] As Figure 4 shown, a water supply pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second cleaning ring 14; cavities 21 are respectively formed inside the second cleaning ring 14 and the first cleaning ring 12; the water supply pipe 2 is communicated with the cavities 21; the first cleaning ring 12 and the second cleaning ring 14 are communicated through the conduits 13; a plurality of water spraying holes 22 are respectively formed on the inner side walls of the second cleaning ring 14 and the first cleaning ring 12; by installing the water supply pipe 2 on the side wall of the cavity 21, when the buoy is repaired or maintained, the water supply pipe 2 can be connected to a high-pressure water pump. At this time, the liquid can be transported into the cavity 21 through the water supply pipe 2 and then sprayed out from the water spraying holes 22, so as to realize the cleaning of the buoy by using the liquid; this setting sprays water on the buoy through the water spraying holes 22, which can further reduce the attachment of barnacles and mussels and the like on the buoy body, thereby reducing the corrosion problem of the attachment to the buoy body; at the same time, the water spraying from the water spraying holes 22 can clean the impurities between the brushes 15 and maintain the cleaning effect when the brushes 15 are in use.

[0027] As Figure 3 shown, an elastic net 3 is fixedly connected between a plurality of adjacent connecting rods 11; the elastic net 3 covers the outside of the first cleaning ring 12. By providing the elastic net 3 between the connecting rods 11, when the buoy is placed in flowing water, the direct contact between floating objects in the water and the surface of the buoy below the water surface can be reduced, thereby reducing the adhesion of attachments on the buoy.

[0028] As Figure 5As shown in the figure, a bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the floating block 1; a first limiting ring 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 4; a column 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the first limiting ring 41; a second limiting ring 43 is fixedly connected to the top of the column 42. By providing the bracket 4 and the first limiting ring 41 on the top of the floating block 1, when the floating block 1 is installed around the buoy, the second limiting ring 43 and the first limiting ring 41 can be sleeved on the middle part of the buoy, so that the swinging of the floating block 1 and the buoy is kept consistent, reducing the damage problem caused by the collision between the floating block 1 and the buoy. At the same time, since there is a gap between the first limiting ring 41 and the middle part of the buoy, a stable relative movement between the brush 15 and the buoy can be realized.

[0029] As Figure 5 shown in the figure, a plurality of first springs 5 are fixedly connected to the inner side walls of the second limiting ring 43 and the first limiting ring 41; a rubber block 51 is fixedly connected to the end of the first spring 5; by providing the first springs 5 and the rubber blocks 51 on the inner side walls of the first limiting ring 41 and the second limiting ring 43, when the first limiting ring 41 and the second limiting ring 43 are sleeved on the buoy, the relative positions of the first limiting ring 41, the second limiting ring 43 and the buoy can be maintained, reducing the damage problem caused by the direct impact of the first limiting ring 41 and the second limiting ring 43 on the middle part of the buoy.

[0031] Working principle: First, put the floating block 1 on the outside of the buoy to be cleaned. Then, place the buoy and the floating block 1 on the water surface at the same time. At this time, the floating block 1 can float on the water surface, and the connecting rod 11 and the first cleaning ring 12 sink below the water surface. At this time, the brush 15 on the inner side wall of the first cleaning ring 12 can contact the buoy body, and at the same time, the brush 15 on the second cleaning ring 14 can also contact the surface of the buoy, so as to reduce the attachments on the surface of the buoy body below the water surface. When there are waves on the water surface, due to the different contact areas of the floating block 1 and the buoy with the water surface, during the up and down floating process of the buoy and the floating block 1, a relative movement state between the buoy and the floating block 1 occurs. At this time, the brushes 15 on the second cleaning ring 14 and the first cleaning ring 12 can repeatedly contact and rub the surface of the buoy; by installing a water supply pipe 2 on the side wall of the cavity 21, when the buoy is repaired or maintained, the water supply pipe 2 can be connected to a high-pressure water pump. At this time, the liquid can be transported into the cavity 21 through the water supply pipe 2 and then sprayed out from the water spraying holes 22, so as to realize the cleaning of the buoy by using the liquid; by providing an elastic net 3 between the connecting rods 11, when the buoy is placed in flowing water, it can reduce the direct contact between floating objects in the water and the surface of the buoy below the water surface, thereby reducing the adhesion of attachments on the buoy. By providing a bracket 4 and a first limiting ring 41 on the top of the floating block 1, when the floating block 1 is installed around the buoy, the second limiting ring 43 and the first limiting ring 41 can be sleeved on the middle part of the buoy, so as to make the swinging of the floating block 1 consistent with that of the buoy, reduce the damage problem caused by collision between the floating block 1 and the buoy, and at the same time, because there is a gap between the first limiting ring 41 and the middle part of the buoy, a stable relative movement between the brush 15 and the buoy can be realized. By providing a first spring 5 and a rubber block 51 on the inner side walls of the first limiting ring 41 and the second limiting ring 43, when the first limiting ring 41 and the second limiting ring 43 are sleeved on the buoy, the relative positions of the first limiting ring 41, the second limiting ring 43 and the buoy can be maintained, and the damage problem caused by the direct impact of the first limiting ring 41 and the second limiting ring 43 on the middle part of the buoy can be reduced. By providing a second spring 6 and a baffle 61 around the floating block 1, when there are impurities and floating objects approaching the floating block 1 on the water surface, the baffle 61 can contact the floating objects, so as to protect the floating block 1 and reduce the problem of center of gravity deviation caused by deformation due to the contact between the floating block 1 and a large number of floating objects.
