Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of underwater communication buoys, in particular to a disposable satellite communication buoy. Background Art

[0002] A satellite communication buoy is a device used for marine environment monitoring and communication. It mainly transmits observation data obtained by the offshore buoy platform to a shore base station or ship base station through a satellite relay communication terminal, facilitating real-time processing of scientific data obtained by the platform payload.

[0003] Underwater satellite communication buoys have a wide range of applications, including ocean observation, environmental monitoring, military communications, and deep-sea exploration. They provide real-time ocean environmental data, helping sailors avoid stormy areas and optimize route planning, playing a crucial role in improving ocean management and resource utilization.

[0004] Existing communication buoys rely on manual operation or simple mechanical devices after data transmission is completed. They lack automation and efficient design, making it difficult to automatically detach the buoy, which reduces the timeliness of data transmission. Furthermore, many communication buoys rely on rechargeable batteries, which can deplete over extended periods of use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the above-mentioned existing technologies, a disposable satellite communication buoy is provided to achieve reliable data transmission in an underwater environment. The automated shelling design eliminates the need for manual operation and ensures the timeliness of data transmission.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is a disposable satellite communication buoy, including a pressure-resistant shell, a main engine, a main engine base, a main engine antenna, and a meteorological sensor and an ocean environment sensor. A protective cover is provided on the outside of the pressure-resistant shell, a Lora antenna is provided on the inside of the pressure-resistant shell, a Beidou satellite antenna is provided on the top surface of the pressure-resistant shell, and a detachment mechanism for automatically detaching the pressure-resistant shell from the protective cover is also included.

[0007] The above-mentioned disposable satellite communication buoy, the detachment mechanism includes a fixed rod arranged in the protective cover, a rotating hook connected to the fixed rod, and a driving device for driving the rotating hook to rotate.

[0008] In the above-mentioned disposable satellite communication buoy, the pressure-resistant shell has a built-in non-rechargeable battery pack and a single-chip microcomputer; the output end of the non-rechargeable battery pack is electrically connected to the Beidou satellite antenna, the driving device and the Lora antenna.

[0009] In the above-mentioned disposable satellite communication buoy, the fixing rod is arranged on the main engine base.

[0010] In the above-mentioned disposable satellite communication buoy, the driving device is a motor whose output end is connected to the rotating hook.

[0011] In the above-mentioned disposable satellite communication buoy, the pressure-resistant shell is made of titanium alloy or high-strength plastic.

[0012] This disposable satellite communication buoy has the beneficial effect of providing a mechanism that automatically detaches the pressure hull from the protective cover. This mechanism, in conjunction with the host, allows the hull to automatically detach and surface within a set timeframe. This improves automation, reduces the need for manual operation, and enhances operational simplicity and the timeliness of data transmission. Utilizing Lora wireless communication technology and a Beidou satellite antenna, it ensures reliable data transmission in underwater environments.

[0013] The use of a non-rechargeable battery pack and the microcontroller's sleep mode improves battery efficiency and extends the buoy's service life. Furthermore, the use of a non-rechargeable battery pack reduces the need for rechargeable battery disposal and reduces environmental pollution. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a disposable satellite communication buoy includes a pressure hull 3, a main engine, a main engine base 8, a main engine antenna 9, as well as meteorological sensors and ocean environment sensors. A protective cover 2 is provided on the outside of the pressure hull 3, a Lora antenna 5 is installed inside the pressure hull 3, and a Beidou satellite antenna 1 is installed on the top surface of the pressure hull 3. The buoy also includes a detachment mechanism for automatically detaching the pressure hull 3 from the protective cover 2. The pressure hull 3 is made of titanium alloy or high-strength plastic to withstand water pressure.

[0021] The disengagement mechanism includes a fixed rod 7 located within the protective cover 2, a rotating hook 6 interlocked with the fixed rod 7, and a drive device for rotating the rotating hook 6. The drive device is a motor 4 whose output end is connected to the rotating hook. The fixed rod 7 is located on the mainframe base 8. When the hole at the bottom of the rotating hook 6 and the fixed rod 7 are aligned, the rotating hook 6 is firmly fixed to the fixed rod 7. When the rotating hook 6 rotates, it disengages from the fixed rod 7, thereby freeing the buoy from the mainframe base 8 at the bottom.

[0022] The LoRa antenna 5 communicates with the mainframe antenna 9, receiving data and commands from the mainframe. When the mainframe instructs the buoy to ascend, the motor 4 activates, driving the rotating hook 6 to rotate and disengage the fixed rod 7, thereby freeing the buoy from the mainframe base 8 at the bottom. Buoyancy forces the buoy to the surface, where the satellite antenna communicates with the satellite, transmitting all previously stored data. Data transmission via the Beidou satellite module ensures accurate data transmission in harsh environments, improving communication reliability.

[0023] By integrating a satellite communication module, a Lora communication module, and a mechanical detachment system, the system addresses the inability of existing underwater information collection systems to transmit data through deep water. It provides a compact and reliable deepwater data transmission solution, reliably transmitting data collected by underwater sensors to a ground receiving station. It can also wait underwater or surface to transmit data based on host computer commands. This eliminates the need for manual operation, ensuring timely data transmission.

[0024] The output end of the non-rechargeable battery pack is electrically connected to the Beidou satellite antenna, drive unit, and Lora antenna. The non-rechargeable battery pack includes sleep and standby modes. By utilizing the sleep modes of the non-rechargeable battery pack and the microcontroller, the buoy's operating life and operating efficiency can be significantly extended. Standby mode maintains the buoy's underwater operation for at least 14 months, with a 60-minute standby period and two wake-up times per day, significantly improving standby time. Furthermore, the use of a non-rechargeable battery pack reduces the need for rechargeable battery disposal and reduces environmental pollution.

[0025] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by ordinary technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
