Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ship perimeter environment monitoring, and in particular relates to an intelligent monitoring system for ship perimeter microenvironment. Background Art
[0002] Vessel perimeter data plays a crucial role in guiding vessel navigation and port operations. In extreme weather conditions such as fog, lightning, and heavy rain, vessels must anchor to ensure safe navigation and operations, waiting for environmental conditions to permit. Currently, vessel navigation and port entry and exit environmental data primarily relies on forecasts purchased from domestic and international weather and navigation companies. This lacks refined meteorological data and cannot meet the needs for detailed monitoring of vessel navigation safety data.
[0003] During the navigation and port entry and exit processes of ships, due to the lack of autonomous and refined capture of environmental data in the sea area surrounding the ships, tugboats are currently used to navigate in local areas in real time, and tugboat crews manually judge environmental and meteorological conditions and provide feedback to guide the navigation and port entry and exit operations. There is no detailed monitoring of multiple meteorological factors around the ships and hydrological information such as tides, which to a certain extent affects the efficiency of navigation and port entry and exit operations. Due to the narrow installation space available for the tugboats that capture data, the space for data monitoring equipment is limited. Currently, most of the ship navigation and port entry and exit environmental monitoring systems have all the functions, but most of them are shore-based installations, without considering the need for shipboard installation of equipment and monitoring of local sea areas in and out of the ports. Many factors, such as weak signals at sea, have led to the current ship navigation and perimeter environmental monitoring devices having problems such as insufficient data monitoring refinement, slow transmission, and low reliability.

[0029] Working Principle: Visibility sensor 3 and meteorological sensor 5 enable the system to obtain real-time data on the six meteorological elements of the local sea area surrounding the vessel, as well as weather visibility and rainfall. Image and video monitoring data is acquired through a spliced camera 2. The power cable at the end of the spliced camera 2 cable is connected to power supply unit 19, and the communication terminal is connected to NVR 17. Switch 18 and NVR 17 are connected via a network cable. Image and video monitoring data are cached by NVR 17 and connected to edge server 12 through switch 18. Edge server 12 receives data from spliced camera 2 and sensors. Wave and tide sensor 23 acquires tidal data for the port's inbound and outbound waters and transmits it to tide monitoring cabinet 21. After data processing by the PLC within the cabinet, the data is sent to the tugboat microenvironment monitoring system via antenna assembly 6. This system data can be transmitted in real time to dispatchers and the office, enabling real-time acquisition and transmission of vessel navigation microenvironment data. The edge server 12 is connected to the display in the tugboat cockpit 1, and switches the shipborne system and the ship perimeter microenvironment intelligent monitoring system interface through KVM. The display is shared with the large screen in the lounge, and finally all monitoring data are presented on the display and the large screen.
[0030] Because signals are weak in local waters near ships entering and leaving ports, the ship perimeter microenvironment intelligent monitoring system incorporates a multimodal intelligent communication terminal 11. This integrates and aggregates various signaling devices, centrally processes and memorizes them, and installs quick-access aviation plugs on the back panel of the terminal chassis according to different signaling modes. Each antenna cable end is connected to one of these plugs via a pre-designed quick-access plug. Furthermore, the system addresses electromagnetic interference from tugboat power lines by installing a power supply unit 19 to manage voltage levels. Different voltage sensors and external devices can be connected to different voltage interfaces, ultimately achieving a unified constant voltage output.
[0031] The intelligent monitoring system for the ship's perimeter microenvironment, through a system device mounted on a tugboat, achieves the performance of multimodal communication, real-time monitoring of microenvironment data, and integrated multi-functional data processing in a limited space, providing an effective reference for ship entry and exit operations and navigation safety.
[0032] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
