[0002] A navigational aid is a surface marker anchored at a designated location to mark the extent of a waterway, indicate shoals, obstructions, or indicate a specific purpose. Buoys are the most numerous and widely used of all navigational aids. They are installed in locations where it is difficult or inappropriate to establish fixed navigational aids. Their function is to mark shoals in a waterway or obstacles that could endanger navigation safety.
[0003] When a navigation mark floats on the sea, it will be damaged and tilted to varying degrees by the ups and downs of wind and waves, the swaying of the buoy, the passing of ships, and the collisions of fish and birds. When the navigation mark is hit and deflected or stuck in reef rocks, the alarm cannot be triggered in time, and it is difficult for it to return to a normal floating state spontaneously. Human help is needed to get out of the stuck area and re-deploy the buoy into the sea. In addition, it is inconvenient for staff to find the place where the navigation mark has problems, making maintenance work more difficult. Utility Model Content

[0030] (3) Beneficial effects
[0031] Compared with the existing technology, the present invention provides a floating drum navigation aid with the following beneficial effects:
[0032] In the present invention, when the buoy is subjected to shaking, the springs around the gravity ball are deformed. Since the gravity of the gravity ball itself is large, the gravity ball maintains a relatively stable center. Under the deformation of the spring, the float body is quickly reset based on the gravity ball, so that the float body tends to a stable use state. When the buoy is hit or runs aground, due to the violent impact, the gravity ball and the float body itself move relative to each other. Since the length of the connecting rod is much smaller than the length of the collision rod, the relative displacement between the gravity ball and the float body itself changes, and a large displacement change will be generated at the top of the collision rod, so that it hits the alarm device on the monitoring device, causing the alarm device to start, generate an alarm and emit a signal light, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to find and repair. Therefore, through the improvement of the above two situations, compared with the existing technology, the safety of the use of the buoy is ensured, the reliability of the use of the buoy is improved, and the risk of manual operation is also reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0041] See also Figures 1 to 6 The embodiment proposes a floating drum type navigation mark, including a floating body 1 and a mast 2, the floating body 1 is provided with an inner cavity 3, the mast 2 is arranged above the floating body 1, and also includes a floating cover 4, a connecting plate 5, a reset assembly and a balance assembly, two columns 7 are fixedly connected to the mast 2, and cross bars 8 are fixedly installed vertically between the masts 2 in sequence, and the central area of the cross bars 8 is provided with a through hole, and each through hole is provided with a limiting sleeve 9, which is a funnel-shaped hollow structure for limiting the connection. The range of the pole's swing, the float cover 4 is detachably connected to the top of the float body 1, and two placement grooves 6 are provided on the top of the float cover 4, and a connecting plate 5 is installed in the placement groove 6. The reset component is arranged in the inner cavity 3, which is used to make the tilted or tilted float body 1 rebound to its original position. The balance component passes through the through hole and the middle of the float body 1 to ensure the balance of the float body 1 during use. It should be added that a solar panel is fixedly connected to the mast 2 to power the buoy to ensure the normal operation of the equipment on the buoy.
[0042] In this embodiment, the reset assembly includes a spring 101 and a connecting block 102. A plurality of springs 101 are equidistantly connected on the inner wall of the inner cavity 3. The other end of the spring 101 is connected to the connecting block 102. The springs are evenly and omnidirectionally arranged around the gravity ball 205. When a relative displacement change occurs between the gravity ball 205 and the inner cavity 3, the spring 101 on one side is compressed and the spring 101 on the other side is stretched. At this time, the springs 101 on both sides quickly generate elastic force and pulling force on the gravity ball 205 itself, so that under the action of the spring 101, the area between the gravity ball 205 and the floating body 1 can be quickly stabilized, thereby improving the reliability of use.
[0043] In this embodiment, the balancing assembly includes a fixed plate 201, a spherical cavity 202, an adjustment ball 203, a collision rod 204, a gravity ball 205 and a connecting rod 206. The fixed plate 201 is concentrically connected to the top of the floating cover plate 4. A spherical cavity 202 is provided between the fixed plate 201 and the floating cover plate 4. The adjustment ball 203 is provided in the spherical cavity 202, and the top and bottom of the spherical cavity 202 are provided with through holes. The collision rod 204 is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the collision rod 204 is provided with a plurality of through holes. 04 passes through the through-hole and is connected to the top of the adjusting ball 203. The gravity ball 205 is arranged at the center of the inner cavity 3, and multiple connecting blocks 102 are connected to the gravity ball 205. The connecting rod 206 is longitudinally connected between the adjusting ball 203 and the gravity ball 205. In addition, the length of the collision rod 204 is greater than the length of the connecting rod 206, so that the collision rod 204 can rotate 360 degrees and collide with the contact switch 302 on the inner wall of the collision ring 301, triggering the switch 302 to send a signal.
[0044] In this embodiment, the monitoring component includes a collision ring 301, a contact switch 302 and an alarm 303. The collision ring 301 is arranged between the two columns 7. A plurality of contact switches 302 are arranged on the inner wall of the collision ring 301. The alarm 303 is installed on the top of the floating cover 4. The contact switch 302 is electrically connected to the alarm 303. In addition, a solar panel is also provided on the mast 2, and the alarm 303 is powered by the solar panel. The power supply of the solar panel is a well-known technology for those skilled in the art, and the circuit installation and other issues will not be repeated here.
[0045] It should be noted that the mast 2 in this application and other structures installed on the mast 2 have been balanced before leaving the factory for use, so that they float stably when floating on the water normally and will not tilt or capsize when not affected by external forces.
[0046] To sum up, the working principle of the floating drum type navigation mark is as follows: when the navigation mark is hit or stuck in a reef rock, the tilted navigation mark will tilt to one side, and the gravity ball 205 in the inner cavity 3 will press against the connecting block 102 on the spring 101 as the navigation mark tilts, causing the spring 101 to elastically deform and rebound the gravity ball 205. As the gravity ball 205 rebounds, under the action of gravity, the navigation mark will rebound to its normal state, and the gravity ball 205 will slowly stop shaking, and the navigation mark will start working again. When the jam is serious and it is difficult for the gravity ball 205 to reset the navigation mark, the adjusting ball 203 will make the connecting rod 206 shake. When the connecting rod 206 collides with the contact switch 302 on the inner wall of the collision ring 301, the contact switch 302 will send a signal to the alarm 303, causing the alarm to light up and sound. The contact switch 302 will also transmit the signal back to the ground processing center for manual maintenance of the damaged navigation mark.
[0047] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
