Specific embodiments

[0023] 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 the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1-6 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a buoy assembly for water environment monitoring, including a buoy main body 1 and a buffer assembly 2. The buoy main body 1 includes a solar panel limiting device 3, a solar panel 4, a housing 5 and a detector 6. A limiting post 7 is provided at the center of the upper part of the housing 5, and a thread is provided below the limiting post 7. The top circumference of the housing 5 is evenly distributed with sliding grooves 10. The solar panel limiting device 3 includes a limiting slider 8 and a movable sliding ring 9. The limiting slider 8 is slidably fitted in the sliding groove 10. The limiting slider 8 is connected to the sliding ring 9 through a connecting post 11. The sliding ring 9 is sleeved on the limiting post 7. A compression nut 12 is threadedly fitted on the limiting post 7, and the compression nut 12 is located above the sliding ring 9. The solar panel 4 is sleeved above the housing 5. The solar panel 4 is a curved surface, and the solar panel 4 is electrically connected to the buoy main body 1. A counterweight 19 is provided below the buoy main body 1 to increase the stability of the buoy and make the buoy easy to return to the upright position.

[0025] Among them, a warning light 13 is provided above the limiting post 7, which is convenient for personnel to observe the specific position of the buoy during recovery. At the same time, it prevents the boats traveling on the water surface from colliding with it. The warning light 13 is electrically connected to the buoy main body 1.

[0026] A buffer assembly 2 is provided in the middle of the buoy body 1. The buffer assembly 2 includes a buffer plate 14 and buffer springs 15. The buffer plate 14 is connected to the buoy body 1 by the buffer springs 15. Multiple groups of buffer springs 15 are circumferentially distributed on the buffer plate 14. A rubber buffer ring 16 is connected between the buffer plate 14 and the buoy body 1. There are two rubber buffer rings 16, and a cavity containing gas is formed between the two rubber buffer rings 16. The buffer springs 15 are arranged between the two rubber buffer rings 16. The rubber buffer ring 16 is made of polyurethane rubber with good buffer performance and corrosion resistance.

[0027] An underwater chamber 17 is opened below the buoy body 1. A plurality of water inlet holes 18 are opened on the outer wall of the underwater chamber 17. A detector 6 is arranged in the underwater chamber 17. The detector 6 is electrically connected to the buoy body 1. The detector 6 is an AMT-W401 water quality detector and can detect a variety of data.

[0028] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: The utility model manually places the buoy into the water, and the buoy floats on the water surface under the buoy main body 1. At the same time, there is a cavity between the buffer assembly 2 and the buoy main body 1, which can provide buoyancy to the buoy. The stability of the buoy is increased by the counterweight 19 to prevent the external impact of large water surface waves or strong wind on the water surface in the water environment from overturning the monitoring buoy into the water and making it unable to return to the upright position, thereby causing the loss of the buoy sinking and damage. After being put into the water, the water floods over the water inlet hole 18 and reaches the water inlet chamber 17. At this time, the detector 6 monitors various parameters of the water environment. When in the water, when the buffer plate 14 is impacted by water waves and objects, the rubber buffer ring 16 and the buffer spring 15 are compressed, reducing the impact of the buffer plate 14 on the buoy main body 1. At the same time, the gas in the cavity between the buffer assembly 2 and the buoy main body 1 will be compressed, buffering the buoy main body 1, reducing the vibration damage of the impact force generated by external collisions to the internal structure of the buoy, and improving the service life of the buoy. By turning on the warning light 13, it is convenient for personnel to observe the specific position of the buoy during recovery. At the same time, it prevents collisions with ships traveling on the water surface. When the solar panel 4 is damaged, by manually unscrewing the compression nut 12, the sliding ring 9 is lifted to move the connecting column 11, thereby driving the limit slider 8 to move towards the middle of the buoy main body 1 through the sliding groove 10, unlocking the limit on the solar panel 4. After taking out the damaged solar panel 4, a new solar panel 4 is sleeved back above the buoy main body 1. By lowering the sliding ring 9 to the top of the buoy main body 1 and then screwing the compression nut 12 back onto the limit post 7, the limit fixation of the solar panel 4 is completed. This device makes the buoy float on the water surface through the buffer assembly 2 under the buoy main body 1. Through the application of the buffer assembly 2, the buffering of the buoy main body 1 is completed. Through the application of the detector 6, the detection of the water environment is completed. Through the application of the warning light 13, it is easier for personnel to observe the buoy. Through the application of the counterweight 19, the buoy is easier to return to the upright position. Through the application of the solar panel limiting device 3, it is convenient to fix and disassemble the solar panel 4.
