Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of moored buoys, in particular to an automatic deployment and stabilization device for a moored buoy cross array. Background Art

[0002] Moored buoys are one of the commonly used devices in ocean surveys. By deploying sensors below the sea surface, they can long-term observe ocean environmental elements.

[0003] Existing moored buoy systems usually use cables to connect sensors, floats, and weights in series. By deploying them in the ocean for a long time, relevant data can be continuously obtained. However, this series arrangement limits the distribution range of sensors and can only provide data in the vertical direction, unable to effectively cover a large area of water. There are significant deficiencies in capturing environmental changes in the horizontal and different directions. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign an automatic deployment and stabilization device for a moored buoy cross array to address the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0021] Refer to Figures 1-3, An automatic deployment and stabilization device for a submersible buoy cross array, including a submersible buoy block 1. Adjustment grooves 4 are provided on the outer walls of the four sides of the submersible buoy block 1. A moving groove is provided inside the submersible buoy block 1. Multiple groups of adjustment grooves 4 communicate with the moving groove. Multiple groups of bottom plates 5 are rotatably connected in the adjustment grooves 4. The bottom plates 5 are installed with device boxes 13 by screws. A slider 11 is slidably connected inside the submersible buoy block 1. A driving device for driving the bottom plates 5 to extend and contract is installed on the outer wall of the slider 11; the provided submersible buoy block 1 provides a basic structural framework, enabling multiple groups of bottom plates 5 to automatically deploy and contract, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the device; it should be noted that components such as sensors are installed inside the device box 13.

[0022] The driving device includes two side plates 10 fixedly connected to the bottom plate 5. Multiple sliding grooves 12 are penetrated through the outer wall of the slider 11 and are corresponding to the positions of multiple groups of adjustment grooves 4. Multiple groups of rotating rods 6 are rotatably connected in the sliding grooves 12. The ends of the rotating rods 6 rotate inside the two side plates 10; by means of the sliding of the slider 11, the extension angles of multiple groups of bottom plates 5 can be adjusted.

[0023] A threaded rod 9 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the moving groove. The slider 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded section of the threaded rod 9. The four corners of the slider 11 are smoothly transitioned. The outer wall of the slider 11 is in close contact with the inner wall of the moving groove. The upper end surface of the submersible buoy block 1 is fixedly connected with a device shell 2. The device shell 2 is located at the center point of the submersible buoy block 1. A hanging ring 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the device shell 2. A servo motor is installed inside the device shell 2. The output shaft of the servo motor is coaxially fixedly connected with the threaded rod 9. A rope 7 is installed at the lower end of the submersible buoy block 1. An anchor 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the rope 7; when the hanging ring 3 is used, it is connected to the hoisting device on the sea surface, and the device is anchored to the seabed by means of the anchor 8, thereby realizing the stability of the whole device.

[0024] In the present utility model, when the device is specifically used: the submersible buoy block 1 is connected to the hoisting device by using the hanging ring 3, and the device is hoisted to a predetermined sea area position through the rope 7. When the device reaches the predetermined sea area position, the anchor 8 is fixed to the seabed by means of the rope 7 to ensure the stability of the submersible buoy block 1 and the whole device in the seabed environment.

[0025] Immediately, the servo motor is started to drive the threaded rod 9 to rotate, so that the slider 11 moves along the threaded section of the threaded rod 9. The slider 11 slides in the moving groove, driving the bottom plate 5 to extend through the rotating rod 6, adjusting the extension angle of the bottom plate 5. Through the interaction of the sliding groove 12 and the adjustment groove 4, it is ensured that the bottom plate 5 is deployed at a preset angle to form a cross array layout. As the bottom plate 5 unfolds, the sensor automatically unfolds to the preset position along with the bottom plate 5. The sensors are all installed inside the device box 13 to ensure that they are not interfered by the marine environment during the unfolding process. The four bottom plates 5 are synchronously unfolded on the four sides of the submersible buoy block 1 respectively to form a cross array layout, thereby expanding the coverage range of the sensor and realizing multi-dimensional data collection.

[0026] After the sensor is deployed at the preset position, it starts to continuously monitor and collect ocean environment data, and the collected data is transmitted in real time to the ground station or research vessel through the communication system inside the device for real-time analysis and processing.

[0027] After the data collection is completed, the servo motor is started to rotate the threaded rod 9 reversely, so that the slider 11 retracts to the initial position. During the retraction of the slider 11, the bottom plate 5 is driven by the rotating rod 6 to contract and return to the initial state. The mooring buoy 1 is lifted from the seabed by using the lifting device, the fixing of the anchor pin 8 is released, and the whole device is retracted back to the ship or the shore.

Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
