Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of water sample and weather collection, in particular to a floating water sample and weather collection device. Background Art
[0002] Marine ranching is an ecosystem-based approach to marine resource management. It achieves sustainable utilization of marine resources by artificially planting or stocking marine organisms in specific waters. To better maintain the marine ranching environment, analyze the growth of aquatic organisms, and mitigate aquaculture risks, accurate and efficient water sampling and meteorological data collection are essential.
[0003] However, existing floating water sampling and weather data collection devices typically consist of a floating platform equipped with a water sampling structure and a weather information collection unit. The water sampling structure collects water samples from the area, while the weather information collection unit utilizes multiple sensors, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and air pressure. Given the variability of the marine environment and the frequent occurrence of severe weather, existing floating water sampling and weather data collection devices lack sufficient wind and wave resistance. This affects the device's positional stability and data accuracy, which in turn affects the accuracy and continuity of the data. This, to a certain extent, limits their application in marine ranching management. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a floating water sample and meteorological collection device to solve the problem in the prior art that the device lacks sufficient wind and wave resistance, which leads to a significant impact on the accuracy of collected data when the wind and waves are strong.

[0006] An inflatable float is provided between each two adjacent anti-collision bodies along the circumferential direction.
[0007] The ends of each inflatable buoy are connected to the corresponding anti-collision body through a first anchor chain.
[0008] A semi-taut mooring anchoring system is provided under the floating platform, which includes a cable, a second anchor chain and a suction anchor. One end of the cable is connected to the floating platform and the other end is connected to a mooring chain link. One end of the second anchor chain is connected to the mooring chain link and the other end is connected to the suction anchor.
[0009] The floating platform comprises an installation platform, a fixing bracket is arranged below the installation platform, and a buoy is arranged on the fixing bracket.
[0010] The meteorological information collection unit includes at least one of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a wind speed sensor, a wind direction sensor, an air pressure sensor, and an ultraviolet sensor.

[0021] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention is described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The accompanying drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.
[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the field of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0023] An embodiment of a floating water sample and weather collection device of the present utility model is as follows Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the floating platform includes a water intake structure 18 and a meteorological information collection unit 7. The floating platform includes a mounting platform 1, a fixed bracket 3 disposed below the mounting platform 1, and a plurality of buoys 2 mounted on the fixed bracket to keep the mounting platform afloat. The meteorological information collection unit 7 includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a wind speed sensor, a wind direction sensor, an air pressure sensor, and a UV sensor for accurately collecting meteorological data. These sensors are integrated together for easy installation. In other embodiments, these sensors can be selected based on actual needs. The floating platform is equipped with a tilt sensor 8 for detecting the tilt angle of the mounting platform, allowing for real-time monitoring of the mounting platform's status during strong winds and waves. The floating platform is equipped with a bracket 4, on which a photovoltaic panel 5 is mounted to convert solar energy into electricity for power supply. The floating platform is equipped with a battery connected to the photovoltaic panel to power all electrical components on the floating platform (including the sensors). In other embodiments, photovoltaic power generation can be replaced by a rechargeable battery.
[0024] The water intake structure 18 includes a water pump 17 mounted on a floating platform. A mounting frame 19 is provided on the floating platform, on which a water suction pipe 21 is mounted. The upper end of the water suction pipe 21 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 17. A water storage tank 22 is also provided on the mounting frame, which is connected to the outlet of the water pump 17. During water sampling, water enters through the lower end of the water suction pipe through the water pump and then flows into the water storage tank. When the water sample is removed, the water in the water storage tank flows through the water pump and enters the water suction pipe through the reverse discharge of the water pump and then flows out of the lower end of the water suction pipe. A protective tube 20 is provided on the mounting frame 19 on the outside of the water suction pipe 21. A filter screen 23 is provided on the protective tube below the lower end of the water suction pipe to filter out impurities, garbage, and debris floating on the water surface. This not only filters the water sample but also prevents clogging of the water suction pipe.
[0025] The floating platform is equipped with a fence 9 to protect its equipment and components from impacts from floating objects on the water. The platform is also equipped with a collision avoidance unit. This unit comprises a plurality of circumferentially spaced collision avoidance bodies 6, each connected to the floating platform via a connecting rod 12. In this embodiment, there are four collision avoidance bodies, each connected to the four corners of the floating platform. In this embodiment, the floating platform is rectangular. In other embodiments, the number of collision avoidance bodies can be adjusted based on actual needs. The floating platform can also be circular. In this embodiment, each collision avoidance body 6 comprises an internal foam body 10 and a rubber cushioning layer 11 covering the outside of the foam body. The foam body is water-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight, effectively mitigating the impact of waves. The rubber cushioning layer protects the foam body from impacts and is wear-resistant, making it suitable for prolonged exposure to marine environments. An inflatable bladder 24 is placed between each adjacent collision avoidance body along the circumference. The ends of each inflatable bladder are connected to the corresponding collision avoidance body 6 via a first anchor chain 25.
[0026] A semi-taut mooring anchor system is installed beneath the floating platform. The semi-taut mooring anchor system includes a cable 13, a second anchor chain 15, and a suction anchor 16. The cable 13 is connected to the floating platform at one end and to a mooring link 14 at the other. The second anchor chain 15 is connected to the mooring link 14 at one end and to the suction anchor 16 at the other end. This embodiment utilizes neither entirely a second anchor chain nor entirely a cable. Instead, it employs a unique cable-plus-second anchor chain structure. This structure provides both rigidity and elasticity, ensuring stability within the designated operating area. It absorbs and mitigates dynamic loads caused by wind and waves, reducing impact forces on the device. It exhibits excellent tensile strength and wear resistance, making it suitable for prolonged operation in sea conditions.
