Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrological monitoring, in particular to a test buoy convenient for maintenance. Background Art
[0002] Water level, flow rate, precipitation, sediment, evaporation, infiltration, etc. are collectively called hydrological data. Hydrological data is the basis for various hydrological analysis works. The main source of hydrological data is the long-term observation of various hydrological elements by hydrological stations. The observation of various hydrological elements is called hydrological test, and test buoys are needed for hydrological test work.
[0003] Most of the existing maintenance and cleaning methods for sensors of test buoys are of two types. One is that the staff regularly find the buoy and maintain and clean the sensor. However, this method is not only troublesome to clean, but also prone to the situation of untimely cleaning, delaying the hydrological monitoring work of the sensor. The other is to set up a cleaning mechanism in advance and use electric power to drive the cleaning mechanism to maintain and clean the sensor. However, the cleaning mechanism in this method needs to be equipped with a separate power storage device or share the same power storage device with the sensor. The number of power storage batteries that need to be added to the buoy is likely to increase the weight of the buoy and increase the probability of the buoy sinking into the water. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a test buoy convenient for maintenance. By setting a cleaning sleeve plate, the cleaning sleeve plate is driven by a transmission slide plate to move up and down reciprocally, so that the cleaning sleeve plate completes the cleaning of the sensing end of the test sensor through the up and down reciprocating movement, ensuring the cleanliness of the sensing end of the test sensor.
[0005] In the first aspect of the present disclosure, a test buoy convenient for maintenance is provided, which specifically includes: a floating cylinder body, on the top of which a support member is fixedly installed; a power storage device is fixedly installed inside the support member; a photovoltaic panel is installed on the outer wall of the power storage device in an inclined shape; the photovoltaic panel is connected to the power storage device through a circuit; a wind turbine is also rotatably installed on the circumferential outer wall of the power storage device; a pushing member is fixedly installed at the bottom of the wind turbine; the bottom of the pushing member is in a wavy structure; a circular ring-shaped support ring is fixedly installed at the bottom of the floating cylinder body; a support plate is fixedly installed inside the support ring; the support plate is in an L-shaped structure; a wire guide plate is fixedly installed at the top inside the support plate.
[0006] In at least some embodiments,
[0007] A bottom plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate; a test sensor is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the support plate.
[0008] In at least some embodiments,
[0009] A transmission sliding plate is slidably inserted and installed on the top of the support plate; a force-bearing pulley is rotatably installed at the top end of the transmission sliding plate.
[0010] In at least some embodiments,
[0011] The wheel wall of the force-bearing pulley is in fitting contact with the wave wall of the pushing member; a cleaning sleeve plate is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the transmission sliding plate; the cleaning sleeve plate is also sleeved and slidably installed on the support plate.
[0012] In at least some embodiments,
[0013] The test sensor is also slidably connected to the cleaning sleeve plate; one end of a restoring spring is embedded and installed at the top of the cleaning sleeve plate.
[0014] In at least some embodiments,
[0015] The other end of the restoring spring is embedded and installed at the bottom of the wire plate; the test sensor is also connected to the power storage device through a circuit.
[0016] In at least some embodiments,
[0017] When the wind power impeller drives the pushing member to rotate, the pushing member will intermittently push down the force-bearing pulley by using the wave-shaped structure at its bottom end.
[0018] In at least some embodiments,
[0019] After the force-bearing pulley receives a downward pushing force, it will drive the transmission sliding plate and the cleaning sleeve plate to move downward.
[0020] In at least some embodiments,
[0021] When the cleaning sleeve plate moves downward, it will rub against the sensing end of the test sensor.
[0022] The present utility model provides a test buoy that is convenient for maintenance, and has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. The test buoy drives the pushing member to rotate through the wind power impeller, so that the pushing member rotates and uses the wave-shaped structure at its bottom end to cooperate with the force-bearing pulley to drive the transmission sliding plate and the cleaning sleeve plate to move up and down reciprocally, and the cleaning sleeve plate cleans the sensing end of the test sensor through the up and down reciprocating movement, avoiding the accumulation and adhesion of algae on the sensing end of the test sensor and affecting the normal sensing test of the test sensor.
[0024] 2. This test buoy is equipped with a wind turbine. The wind turbine utilizes the environmental factor of strong wind on the water surface to convert wind energy into driving force and indirectly provide it to the cleaning sleeve plate. Under the influence of the indirect driving force of the wind, the cleaning sleeve plate can move up and down to maintain and clean the test sensor. This is more time-saving, labor-saving, and timely compared to traditional manual cleaning at regular intervals. Compared with the cleaning mechanism driven by electricity, it can save the number of batteries of the power storage device and ensure the weight of this test buoy. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 :
[0038] Embodiment 1:
[0039] The present utility model provides a test buoy that is convenient for maintenance, including: a floating cylinder body 1, on the top of which a support member 2 is fixedly installed; inside the support member 2, a power storage device 3 is fixedly installed; on the outer wall of the power storage device 3, a photovoltaic panel body 4 is installed obliquely; the photovoltaic panel body 4 is connected to the power storage device 3 through a circuit; on the circumferential outer wall of the power storage device 3, a wind power impeller 5 is also rotatably installed; at the bottom of the wind power impeller 5, a pushing member 6 is fixedly installed; the bottom of the pushing member 6 has a wavy structure; at the bottom of the floating cylinder body 1, a support ring 7 with a circular ring structure is fixedly installed; inside the support ring 7, a support plate 8 is fixedly installed; the support plate 8 has an L-shaped structure; at the top inside the support plate 8, a wire guide plate 9 is fixedly installed.
[0040] The photovoltaic panel body 4 converts light energy into electrical energy and supplies it to the power storage device 3, enabling the power storage device 3 to supply power to the test sensor 11, so that the test sensor 11 can perform hydrological test work.
[0041] Embodiment 2, based on Embodiment 1,
[0042] At the bottom of the support plate 8, a bottom plate 10 is fixedly installed; at the bottom inside the support plate 8, a test sensor 11 is fixedly installed; at the top of the support plate 8, a transmission sliding plate 12 is slidably inserted; at the top end of the transmission sliding plate 12, a force-bearing pulley 13 is rotatably installed; the wheel wall of the force-bearing pulley 13 is in contact with the wavy wall of the pushing member 6; at the bottom end of the transmission sliding plate 12, a cleaning sleeve plate 14 is fixedly installed; the cleaning sleeve plate 14 is also sleeved and slidably installed on the support plate 8.
[0043] During the use of the test buoy on the water surface, the wind power impeller 5 will rotate under the environmental factor of strong wind on the water surface, causing the wind power impeller 5 to drive the pushing member 6 to rotate. When the pushing member 6 rotates, the pushing member 6 will intermittently push the force-bearing pulley 13 under the action of its bottom having a wavy structure, enabling the force-bearing pulley 13 to provide the downward pressure it receives to the transmission sliding plate 12 and the cleaning sleeve plate 14, so that the cleaning sleeve plate 14 can move downward to clean the sensing end of the test sensor 11.
[0044] Embodiment 3, based on Embodiment 2,
[0045] The test sensor 11 is also slidably connected to the cleaning sleeve plate 14; one end of the restoring spring 15 is embedded and installed at the top of the cleaning sleeve plate 14; the other end of the restoring spring 15 is embedded and installed at the bottom of the wire plate 9; the test sensor 11 is also connected to the power storage device 3 through a circuit; when the wind turbine impeller 5 drives the pusher 6 to rotate, the pusher 6 will intermittently push down the force-bearing pulley 13 by using the wavy structure at its bottom end; after the force-bearing pulley 13 receives the downward pushing force, it will drive the transmission slide plate 12 and the cleaning sleeve plate 14 to move downward; when the cleaning sleeve plate 14 moves downward, it will rub against the sensing end of the test sensor 11.
[0046] When the pusher 6 no longer pushes the force-bearing pulley 13 downward, the cleaning sleeve plate 14 and the transmission slide plate 12 can rise and recover under the action of the restoring spring 15, so that the cleaning sleeve plate 14 moves up and down reciprocally to intermittently clean the sensing end of the test sensor 11, ensuring that the sensing end of the test sensor 11 is not easily adhered to and accumulated with algae.
[0047] The working principle of this embodiment:
[0048] During use, the photovoltaic panel 4 converts light energy into electrical energy and supplies it to the power storage device 3, so that the power storage device 3 supplies power to the test sensor 11, enabling the test sensor 11 to perform hydrological test work. And during the use of this test buoy on the water surface, the wind turbine impeller 5 will rotate under the environmental factor of strong wind on the water surface, driving the pusher 6 to rotate. When the pusher 6 rotates, the pusher 6 will intermittently push the force-bearing pulley 13 under the action of its wavy bottom structure, enabling the force-bearing pulley 13 to provide the downward pressure received to the transmission slide plate 12 and the cleaning sleeve plate 14, so that the cleaning sleeve plate 14 realizes the cleaning of the sensing end of the test sensor 11 by moving downward. And when the pusher 6 no longer pushes the force-bearing pulley 13 downward, the cleaning sleeve plate 14 and the transmission slide plate 12 can rise and recover under the action of the restoring spring 15, so that the cleaning sleeve plate 14 moves up and down reciprocally to intermittently clean the sensing end of the test sensor 11, ensuring that the sensing end of the test sensor 11 is not easily adhered to and accumulated with algae.
