Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a buoy, in particular to a buoy, belonging to the technical field of water environment detection. Background Art

[0002] As an important tool for modern water environment management, the water environment detection buoy mainly consists of a floating body, a sensor system, a data transmission device, an energy supply system, a fixing system and other parts. These components cooperate with each other to achieve efficient and real-time monitoring of water quality. With the continuous progress of technology and the in-depth expansion of applications, the components of the water environment detection buoy will also be continuously optimized and improved to meet broader needs and challenges.

[0003] At present, the existing buoy usually floats on the water surface through a floating disk. When the weather is relatively cold, the water surface may freeze, and the buoy will be frozen around and cannot be easily moved. When the staff repairs the buoy, forcibly pulling it by a towing rope may damage the buoy or cause the towing rope to break, and then the buoy will get out of control, which is not convenient for maintenance.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to improve the buoy to solve the above existing problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a buoy. When the external temperature drops, the gas temperature in the floating disk drops and contracts, causing the air pressure to decrease. At this time, the sealing cover slides downward under the action of the air pressure, the electrode block slides into the inside of the card slot and contacts the spring electrode, and the electric heating plate is powered on to heat the outside of the floating disk. The ice around the floating disk will melt when heated, which can effectively prevent the floating disk from being frozen by the water surface due to too low external temperature. During maintenance, a crane can be used to lift the buoy out of the water through a towing rope, which is convenient for maintenance. At the same time, the holes generated by heating are also convenient for putting the buoy into the water again.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the main technical solutions adopted by the utility model include:

[0007] A buoy, comprising a floating disk and a balance water tank fixedly installed at the bottom end of the floating disk. A plurality of uniformly distributed hollow support legs are fixedly installed on the outer edge of the balance water tank. A plurality of uniformly distributed water inlet holes are opened on the hollow support legs. A vertical frame is fixedly installed at the upper end of the floating disk. A solar panel is fixedly installed on the vertical frame. A wireless communication module is fixedly installed inside the vertical frame of the floating disk. The solar panel is electrically connected to the wireless communication module through a wire;

[0008] An air column is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the floating disk. A first spring is fixedly installed inside the air column. A sealing cover is slidably arranged at the upper end of the air column. The upper end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the sealing cover. An electric heating plate is fixedly arranged inside the floating disk. An electrode block is fixedly installed inside the sealing cover. A clamping groove is formed in the air column at a position corresponding to the electrode block. A spring electrode is fixedly installed inside the clamping groove. Both ends of the electrode block and the spring electrode are connected in series to the power supply circuit of the electric heating plate through wires.

[0009] Preferably, the sealing cover is slidably arranged at the upper end of the air column through the first spring.

[0010] Preferably, during the process of the sealing cover sliding downward, the bottom end of the electrode block contacts the upper end of the spring electrode.

[0011] Preferably, a storage battery is fixedly installed inside the wireless communication module. The storage battery is electrically connected to the solar panel through a wire.

[0012] Preferably, a warning light is fixedly installed at the top end of the stand. The warning light is electrically connected to the storage battery through a wire.

[0013] Preferably, the balance water tank is communicated with the inside of the hollow support leg. An air pump is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the floating disk. One end of the air pump extends into the inside of the balance water tank. The air pump is electrically connected to the wireless communication module through a wire.

[0014] Preferably, a second spring is fixedly installed at the position of the balance water tank corresponding to the air pump. The second spring is sleeved on the outside of one end of the air pump. An air bag is fixedly connected to a position of the second spring far away from the inner top surface of the balance water tank. The air bag corresponds to one end of the air pump.

[0015] Preferably, the other end of the air pump is fixedly installed with an air pipe. The air pipe extends to the upper end of the floating disk. A filter screen is fixedly installed at the upper end of the air pipe.

[0016] The utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. When the external temperature decreases, the temperature of the gas inside the floating disk decreases and contracts, causing the air pressure to decrease. At this time, the sealing cover slides downward under the action of the air pressure. The electrode block slides into the inside of the clamping groove and contacts the spring electrode. The electric heating plate is powered on to heat the outside of the floating disk. The ice around the floating disk will melt when heated, which can effectively prevent the floating disk from being frozen by the water surface due to too low external temperature. During maintenance, a crane can be used to lift the buoy out through the towing rope, which is convenient for maintenance. At the same time, the holes generated by heating also facilitate putting the buoy into the water again.

[0018] 2. The staff can control the air pump to work through the wireless communication module. The air pump evacuates the balance water tank, reducing the air pressure inside the balance water tank. The balance water tank is connected to the inside of the hollow support leg, and water can enter the balance water tank through the water inlet hole and the hollow support leg. By controlling the water volume in the balance water tank with the air pump, the gravity of the buoy body is increased, thereby finely adjusting the draft depth of the floating disc, and ensuring more accurate detection data of the water quality detection sensor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0026] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments, so as to fully understand how the present application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve the realization process of technical effects and implement accordingly.

[0027] As Figures 1 - 5As shown in the figure, a buoy provided in this embodiment includes a floating disk 1 and a balance water tank 2 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the floating disk 1. The floating disk 1 is used to float on the water surface. Four hollow support legs 3 are fixedly installed on the outer edge of the balance water tank 2. While the balance water tank 2 keeps the buoy balanced, it can draw water through the hollow support legs 3 to control the buoyancy of the floating disk 1. A number of uniformly distributed water inlet holes 4 are provided on the hollow support legs 3. A water quality detection sensor can be installed inside the hollow support legs 3 to monitor various indexes of the water body, including but not limited to water temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, etc. A vertical frame 5 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the floating disk 1, and a solar panel 6 is fixedly installed on the vertical frame 5. A wireless communication module 7 is fixedly installed inside the floating disk 1 within the vertical frame 5. The solar panel 6 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module 7 through a wire. The solar panel 6 is used to supply power to the electric heating plate 11 and the wireless communication module 7 through solar energy. The buoy can transmit the collected water quality data to the monitoring center or relevant data processing equipment through the wireless communication module 7 for further analysis and processing;

[0028] An air column 8 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the floating disk 1. A first spring 9 is fixedly installed inside the air column 8. A sealing cover 10 is slidably arranged at the upper end of the air column 8. The upper end of the first spring 9 is connected to the inner side of the sealing cover 10. An electric heating plate 11 is fixedly arranged inside the floating disk 1. An electrode block 12 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the sealing cover 10. A clamping groove 13 is provided at the position of the air column 8 corresponding to the electrode block 12. A spring electrode 14 is fixedly installed inside the clamping groove 13. The two ends of the electrode block 12 and the spring electrode 14 are connected in series to the power supply circuit of the electric heating plate 11 through a wire;

[0029] Among them, the sealing cover 10 is slidably arranged at the upper end of the air column 8 through the first spring 9. During the process of the sealing cover 10 sliding downward, the bottom end of the electrode block 12 contacts the upper end of the spring electrode 14. When the external temperature drops, the temperature of the gas inside the floating disk 1 drops and contracts, causing the air pressure to decrease. At this time, the sealing cover 10 slides downward under the action of the air pressure. The electrode block 12 slides into the inside of the clamping groove 13 and contacts the spring electrode 14. The electric heating plate 11 is powered on to heat the outside of the floating disk 1. The ice around the floating disk 1 will melt when heated, which can effectively prevent the floating disk 1 from being frozen by the water surface due to too low external temperature. During maintenance, a crane can be used to lift the buoy out through a towing rope, which is convenient for maintenance. At the same time, the holes generated by heating are also convenient for putting the buoy into the water again.

[0030] Further, as Figures 1 - 5As shown in the figure, a storage battery is fixedly installed inside the wireless communication module 7, and the storage battery is electrically connected to the solar panel 6 through a wire; a warning light 15 is fixedly installed at the top of the stand 5, and the warning light 15 is electrically connected to the storage battery through a wire. The electric energy generated by the solar panel 6 is stored by the storage battery. The balance water tank 2 is connected to the inside of the hollow support leg 3. An air pump 16 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the floating disc 1. One end of the air pump 16 extends into the balance water tank 2. The air pump 16 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module 7 through a wire. The storage battery is used to supply power to the electric heating plate 11 and the air pump 16. The balance water tank 2 can keep the buoy floating while drawing water through the water inlet hole 4 to control the buoyancy of the floating disc 1. A water quality detection sensor can be installed inside the hollow support leg 3 to monitor various indicators of the water body;

[0031] Among them, the staff can control the air pump 16 to work through the wireless communication module 7. The air pump 16 evacuates the balance water tank 2, reducing the air pressure inside the balance water tank 2. The balance water tank 2 is connected to the inside of the hollow support leg 3, and the water body can enter the balance water tank 2 through the water inlet hole 4 and the hollow support leg 3. By controlling the water volume in the balance water tank 2 through the air pump 16, the gravity of the buoy body is increased, and then the draft depth of the floating disc 1 is finely adjusted, thus ensuring that the detection data of the water quality detection sensor is more accurate.

[0032] To solve the problem of water ingress when the air pump 16 is working:

[0033] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a second spring 17 is fixedly installed at the position of the balance water tank 2 corresponding to the air pump 16. The second spring 17 is sleeved on the outside of one end of the air pump 16. A gasbag 18 is fixedly connected to the position of the second spring 17 away from the inner top surface of the balance water tank 2. The gasbag 18 corresponds to one end of the air pump 16. The other end of the air pump 16 is fixedly installed with an air pipe 19. The air pipe 19 extends to the upper end of the floating disc 1. A filter screen 20 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the air pipe 19. When the water level in the balance water tank 2 is high enough, the gasbag 18 floats up to block the inlet of the air pump 16. On the one hand, it can prevent the air pump 16 from taking in water, and on the other hand, it can timely close the inlet of the air pump 16 to prevent the water level from being too high. The second spring 17 is used to reset the gasbag 18. The air pipe 19 can discharge the gas pumped out by the air pump 16 to avoid affecting the air pressure inside the floating disc 1. The filter screen 20 can prevent dust from entering.

[0034] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, the principle of the buoy provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0035] When the external temperature drops, the temperature of the gas in the floating disc 1 drops and contracts, causing the air pressure to decrease. At this time, the sealing cover 10 slides downward under the action of the air pressure. The electrode block 12 slides into the inside of the card slot 13 and contacts the spring electrode 14. The electric heating plate 11 is powered on to heat the outside of the floating disc 1. The ice around the floating disc 1 will melt when heated, which can effectively prevent the floating disc 1 from being frozen by the water surface due to too low external temperature. During maintenance, a crane can be used to lift the buoy out through the towing rope. While facilitating maintenance, the holes generated by heating also facilitate putting the buoy into the water again. The staff can control the air pump 16 to work through the wireless communication module 7. The air pump 16 evacuates the balance water tank 2, reducing the air pressure in the balance water tank 2. The balance water tank 2 is connected to the inside of the hollow support leg 3. The water body can enter the balance water tank 2 through the water inlet hole 4 and the hollow support leg 3. By controlling the water volume in the balance water tank 2 with the air pump 16, the gravity of the buoy body is increased, and then the draft depth of the floating disc 1 is finely adjusted, thus ensuring that the detection data of the water quality detection sensor is more accurate.
