[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of monitoring buoy devices, and in particular to a simple and portable wave monitoring buoy. Background Technique

[0002] An ocean monitoring buoy is an ocean hydrological, water quality, and meteorological automatic monitoring station mainly composed of an observation buoy anchored at sea. It can regularly or continuously collect the required ocean hydrological, water quality, and meteorological data for ocean scientific research and other purposes according to regulations.

[0003] In the related art, a monitoring buoy is a very important tool in ocean environment detection, and the monitoring buoy can monitor wave data. Generally, a monitoring buoy is composed of a buoy body, a support platform installed above the buoy body, detection devices such as a wave sensor installed below the buoy body and submerged in seawater, and devices such as a solar panel installed on the support platform. It is anchored on the sea surface to detect wave data.

[0004] In view of the above related art, the existing detection buoys generally have more structures and larger volumes. When maintenance is required after long-term use, it is relatively difficult for staff to collect the whole from the sea surface. In view of the above problems, a simple and portable wave monitoring buoy is developed. Utility Model Content

[0007] A simple and portable wave monitoring buoy includes a buoy body arranged in a spherical shape. The buoy body includes a lower shell and an upper shell covering the lower shell. A first cavity for placing a wave sensor is opened in the upper shell, and a second cavity for seawater to flow through is opened in the lower shell.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solutions, when the buoy body floats on the sea surface, the wave sensor installed in the first cavity can detect data such as the angle of swaying with the waves and the height of undulation according to the undulation of the buoy body. The buoy body is composed of an upper shell and a lower shell, and the overall structure and volume are small, which is convenient for staff to easily collect the buoy body from the sea surface.

[0009] Optionally, a partition board for isolating the seawater in the second cavity is fixedly connected to one side of the lower shell close to the upper shell.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the isolation plate can reduce the seawater in the second cavity from soaking the wave sensor in the first cavity, and reduce the influence of the salt in the seawater on the wave sensor after long-term soaking in seawater, thereby improving the use efficiency of the detection equipment in the first cavity.

[0011] Optionally, a dust block is fixedly connected to the side of the lower housing away from the upper housing.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the dust block can increase the floating stability of the float body in the sea waves, thereby improving the use stability of the sea wave detection float.

[0013] Optionally, a plurality of water inlet holes communicating with the second cavity are uniformly arranged on the circumferential side wall of the lower housing away from the upper housing.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of a plurality of water inlet holes enables part of the seawater to flow through the water inlet holes into the lower housing, increasing the floating stability of the float body and also facilitating the circulation of the seawater in the lower housing.

[0015] Optionally, a plurality of exhaust holes communicating with the second cavity are uniformly arranged on the circumferential side wall of the lower housing close to the upper housing.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the seawater enters the lower housing from the water inlet holes, the air in the second cavity can be discharged from the exhaust holes, thereby increasing the overall floating stability of the float body.

[0017] Optionally, a convex ring is fixedly connected to the side of the upper housing close to the isolation plate, a ring groove for embedding the convex ring is formed on the side of the isolation plate close to the upper housing, and a sealing layer is pasted on the convex ring.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the convex ring and the sealing layer can further seal the isolation plate on the upper housing and the lower housing when the upper housing covers the lower housing, reducing the possibility of seawater entering the first cavity.

[0019] Optionally, a plurality of first fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the outer circumferential side wall of the upper housing, a plurality of second fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the outer circumferential side wall of the lower housing, and a locking bolt for locking the first fixing block and the second fixing block is provided on the upper housing.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the screw rod of the locking bolt passes through the first fixing block and the second fixing block, the nut of the locking bolt is threadedly connected to the screw rod of the locking bolt, thereby further fixing the upper housing and the lower housing and reducing the separation of the first fixing block and the second fixing block.

[0021] Optionally, a mounting plate for fixing parts such as a wave sensor is arranged on the partition plate.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the mounting plate can further fix the wave sensor through the mounting plate when the wave sensor is installed in the first cavity, reducing the occurrence of the wave sensor shaking in the first cavity and providing an installation and fixing space for the detection device.

[0025] 2. The setting of the floating dust block can increase the floating stability of the buoy body in the sea waves, thereby improving the use stability of the sea wave detection buoy;

[0026] 3. When the upper shell covers the lower shell, the setting of the convex ring and the sealing layer can further seal the partition plate on the upper shell and the lower shell, reducing the possibility of seawater entering the first cavity. Description of the Drawings

Detailed Description of the Embodiment

[0031] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the attached Figures 1-3 drawings.

[0032] An embodiment of the present application discloses a simple and portable sea wave monitoring buoy. Refer to Figure 1, A simple and portable wave monitoring buoy includes a buoy body 1.

[0033] Refer to Figure 2 , The buoy body 1 includes a lower housing 11 and an upper housing 12 covering the lower housing 11. A first cavity 121 for placing a wave sensor is provided inside the upper housing 12, and a second cavity 111 for seawater circulation is provided inside the lower housing 11. The buoy body 1 floats on the seawater, and the wave sensor inside the buoy body 1 detects wave data. In the embodiment of the present application, the upper housing 12 and the lower housing 11 are arranged in a semi-circular shape. A floating dust block 112 is fixedly connected to the side of the lower housing 11 away from the upper housing 12 to increase the overall buoyancy of the buoy body 1.

[0034] Refer to Figure 2 , A partition plate 113 is fixedly connected to the side of the lower housing 11 close to the upper housing 12, which can separate the first cavity 121 and the second cavity 111, thereby reducing the possibility of the wave sensor in the second cavity 111 being soaked in water. A mounting plate 114 is fixedly connected to the side of the partition plate 113 close to the upper housing 12 for installing and fixing parts such as wave sensors.

[0035] Refer to Figure 2 , A plurality of water inlet holes 115 communicating with the first cavity 121 are provided on the side of the lower housing 11 close to the floating dust block 112. The plurality of water inlet holes 115 are evenly distributed on the outer circumferential side wall of the lower housing 11 to facilitate the circulation of seawater inside the lower housing 11. A plurality of exhaust holes 116 communicating with the first cavity 121 are provided on the side of the lower housing 11 close to the upper housing 12. The plurality of exhaust holes 116 are evenly distributed on the outer circumferential side wall of the lower housing 11, facilitating the air in the second cavity 111 to be discharged from the lower housing 11 during the process of seawater entering the second cavity 111.

[0036] Refer to Figure 2 , A convex ring 122 is fixedly connected to the inner circumferential side wall of the upper housing 12 close to the partition plate 113. A ring groove 1131 for embedding the convex ring 122 is provided on the side of the partition plate 113 close to the upper housing 12 to initially seal the first cavity 121. A sealing layer 1221 is pasted on the convex ring 122. The sealing layer 1221 is made of rubber. When the convex ring 122 is embedded in the ring groove 1131, the side of the sealing layer 1221 away from the convex ring 122 abuts against the bottom wall of the ring groove 1131 to further seal the first cavity 121.

[0037] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, on one side of the upper housing 12 close to the lower housing 11, a number of first fixing blocks 123 are fixedly connected. The number of first fixing blocks 123 are evenly arranged on the outer circumferential side wall of the upper housing 12. A first through hole 1231 is formed in the first fixing block 123; on one side of the lower housing 11 close to the upper housing 12, a number of second fixing blocks 117 are fixedly connected. The number of second fixing blocks 117 are evenly arranged on the outer circumferential side wall of the lower housing 11. The number of first fixing blocks 123 and the number of second fixing blocks 117 correspond one by one. A second through hole 1171 is formed in the second fixing block 117; a locking bolt 124 is installed on the upper housing 12. The screw rod of the locking bolt 124 passes through the first through hole 1231 and the second through hole 1171. The nut of the locking bolt 124 is threadedly connected to the screw rod of the locking bolt 124, so as to fix the corresponding first fixing block 123 and second fixing block 117, and further increase the tightening degree between the convex ring 122 and the annular groove 1131.
