Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture tools, in particular to a marine cage aquatic water temperature monitoring device. Background Art

[0002] Cage aquaculture involves placing cages made of mesh in water. It boasts low investment, high yields, mobility, and rapid returns. In recent years, the scale of cage aquaculture has grown rapidly in my country's coastal waters. Like other aquaculture methods, the profitability of cage aquaculture is directly related to the water quality and temperature of the aquaculture water. Once the aquaculture water body is established, such as in seawater aquaculture, parameters related to seawater quality vary little over time. However, seawater temperature is constantly changing, making it a key factor influencing aquaculture profitability. Accurately monitoring the water temperature of cage aquaculture and promptly identifying changes in this temperature are particularly important for cage aquaculture.

[0003] Currently, water temperature in cage aquaculture, particularly marine cage aquaculture, is typically inferred from air temperature or measured by placing temperature sensors at fixed locations. The sensors are then manually retrieved from the sea at regular intervals to record the measured water temperature and monitor temperature fluctuations. Existing cage aquaculture water temperature monitoring methods, whether inferred through empirical experience based on air temperature or manually recorded, are highly dependent on manual labor. This is especially true with a large number of cages, requiring numerous test points, resulting in a significant statistical workload and measurement burden. Furthermore, manual recording results in discrete and small amounts of data, and lacks software analysis, resulting in low accuracy in aquatic water temperature monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a device for monitoring the water temperature of aquatic products in an ocean cage.

[0005] The technical solution for achieving the purpose of the utility model is: a marine cage aquatic water temperature monitoring device, comprising a floating bin, a column and a counterweight, the floating bin is located at the upper end of the column and fixedly connected to the column, and the counterweight is connected to the lower end of the column; a solar panel is installed on the floating bin, the floating bin has a closed chamber, a battery is provided in the chamber, the solar panel is electrically connected to the battery, and is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery, the battery is electrically connected to a circuit unit, and is used to power the circuit unit; the circuit unit includes a temperature sensor, an acquisition module and a wireless communication module, the temperature sensor, the acquisition module and the wireless communication module are electrically connected in sequence, wherein the temperature sensor is installed on the column, and the acquisition module and the wireless communication module are both arranged in the chamber.

[0006] Furthermore, the temperature sensors are arranged in a vertically spaced arrangement along the vertical axis of the column, and are each electrically connected to the acquisition module. The temperature sensors can sense water temperatures at different depths, enabling more accurate and precise aquatic temperature monitoring. Furthermore, by comparing and analyzing water temperatures at different depths, the temperature sensors can also be self-calibrated.

[0007] Furthermore, the distance between adjacent temperature sensors is 40-60 cm. Under this distance, the measurement results of the temperature sensors can show differentiation, and the measurement is more meaningful.

[0008] Furthermore, the distance between adjacent temperature sensors is 50CM.

[0009] Furthermore, the column is a tubular structure. With the tubular structure, the connection line between the temperature sensor and the acquisition module can be conveniently passed through the column. At the same time, the temperature sensor can also be conveniently installed in the column of the tubular structure, so that the column plays a protective role in the installation of the temperature sensor.

[0010] Furthermore, the temperature sensor is located inside the column. Under the protection of the column, the temperature sensor inside the column is more reliably installed, and the temperature sensor and its connection lines are prevented from being damaged by the splashing of seawater.

[0011] Furthermore, the column comprises several coaxially arranged segments, each connected by a threaded structure comprising a threaded head and a threaded hole, each located on two adjacent segments. The threaded head extends into the threaded hole and engages with the threaded hole. This arrangement facilitates adjustment of the column length by adding or removing segments, facilitating installation of multiple temperature sensors, and facilitating the installation of temperature sensors when measuring seawater temperatures at different depths.

[0012] Furthermore, the solar panel is installed on the top of the floating vessel. After the solar panel is installed on the upper surface of the floating vessel, the force on the floating vessel is more balanced.

[0013] Furthermore, the wireless communication module is a 4G communication module or a 5G communication module.

[0014] Furthermore, the counterweight is a gravity ball. The counterweight can be a gravity block or a gravity ball. Compared with gravity blocks, gravity balls are easier to obtain.

[0015] Furthermore, the counterweight is suspended from the lower end of the column via a rope. The counterweight can be directly fixed to the lower end of the column or suspended from the lower end of the column via the rope. Compared to direct fixing, when suspended from the lower end of the column via the rope, the counterweight is less constrained by the column, has greater freedom, and is more convenient for entering the water.

[0016] The present invention provides a marine cage aquatic product temperature monitoring device. The structure of the floating tank, the upright column, and the counterweight pendant allows the entire monitoring device to float when the floating tank has sufficient buoyancy. Simultaneously, under the gravity of the counterweight pendant, the upright column in the floating state can extend vertically into the seawater, thereby providing a mounting position for the circuit unit. After the circuit unit is installed, the aquatic product temperature can be monitored by the circuit unit. When the circuit unit is installed on the mounting position provided by the floating tank, the upright column, and the counterweight pendant to monitor the aquatic product temperature, the temperature sensor is mounted on the upright column. The temperature sensor can enter the water to sense the water temperature, resulting in high water temperature detection accuracy. Simultaneously, the other modules of the circuit unit are mounted in the chamber of the floating tank. Under the protection of the closed chamber, the other modules of the circuit unit, except the temperature sensor, are protected from water and seawater fluctuations. This improves the stability and reliability of the water temperature monitoring by the circuit unit.

[0017] The utility model relates to a marine cage aquatic water temperature monitoring device. In addition to the temperature sensor and the acquisition module, the circuit unit also includes the wireless communication module. After the temperature sensor senses the water temperature signal and the acquisition module acquires the water temperature signal sensed by the temperature sensor, the wireless communication module can transmit the water temperature signal and store and record the data through the platform end. In this way, there is no need to manually take a boat into the sea at regular intervals to record the water temperature data, which greatly improves the convenience of use. The platform end can also analyze the data to improve the application value of the data and the accuracy of monitoring.

[0018] In addition, the present invention's marine cage aquaculture water temperature monitoring device incorporates a solar panel installed on the floating tank, which converts light energy into electrical energy, stores it in the battery, and then powers the circuit unit. The installation of the solar panel effectively utilizes the abundant, unobstructed sunlight available at sea, improving the utilization rate of natural energy. Furthermore, in the solar panel's unlimited power supply mode, the circuit unit requires neither battery replacement nor wiring, significantly simplifying the structure and improving operational convenience while effectively resolving the difficulty of connecting to electricity at sea.

[0024] In this new marine cage aquaculture water temperature monitoring device, the floating chamber 1 provides significant buoyancy for the entire monitoring device, allowing it to float. It also serves as a support, providing a mounting frame for the solar panels 4, the batteries 5, and the circuit unit 6. The column 2 is used to mount the temperature sensor 61, ensuring that it remains within the seawater during installation. The counterweight 3 provides weight to the lower end of the column 2, positioning the center of gravity of the entire monitoring device downward. Once the monitoring device is submerged, the column 2 can be erected.

[0025] The utility model relates to a device for monitoring the water temperature of aquatic products in a marine cage. The solar panel 4 is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy; the storage battery 5 is used to store the electrical energy converted by the solar panel 4 and to supply power to the circuit unit 6; in the circuit unit 6, the temperature sensor 61 is used to sense the temperature of the seawater and convert the temperature of the seawater into an electrical signal; the acquisition module 62 is used to acquire the electrical signal converted by the temperature sensor 61 to obtain a water temperature signal; and the wireless communication module 63 is used for communication between the acquisition module 62 and other devices.

[0026] The present invention's marine cage aquaculture water temperature monitoring device is placed in seawater during use. The floating chamber 1, placed within the seawater, floats on the sea surface, while the counterweight 3 sinks. Under the weight of the counterweight 3, the column 2 remains upright, thus suspending above the sea surface. In this state, the solar panel 4 converts solar energy into electrical energy, which is stored in the battery 5. The battery 5 serves as a power source, powering the circuit unit 6 to enable operation. The circuit unit 6 operates as follows: the temperature sensor 61 senses the seawater temperature in real time, converts the temperature into an electrical signal, and the acquisition module 62 collects the electrical signal converted by the temperature sensor 61. After obtaining the water temperature signal, the acquisition module 62 transmits the water temperature signal via the wireless communication module 63, such as to a platform. The platform then stores, records, and analyzes the data. This completes the monitoring of the water temperature of marine cage aquaculture.

[0027] The utility model provides a marine cage aquatic water temperature monitoring device, through the structural arrangement of the floating bin 1, the column 2 and the counterweight 3, so that when the floating bin 1 has sufficient buoyancy, the entire monitoring device can be in a floating state. At the same time, under the gravity of the counterweight 3, the column 2 in the floating state can be vertically extended into the sea water, so as to provide an installation position for the circuit unit 6, so that after the circuit unit 6 is installed, the water temperature of the aquatic can be monitored through the circuit unit 6. When the circuit unit 6 is installed on the installation position provided by the floating tank 1, the column 2 and the counterweight 3 to monitor the water temperature of the aquatic products, the temperature sensor 61 is installed on the column 2. The temperature sensor 61 can enter the water to sense the water temperature, and the water temperature detection accuracy is high. At the same time, the other modules of the circuit unit 6 are installed in the chamber 11 of the floating tank 1, so that under the protection of the closed chamber 11, except for the temperature sensor 61, the other modules of the circuit unit 6 can be waterproof and resistant to seawater fluctuations. The circuit unit 6 has better stability and reliability in water temperature monitoring.

[0028] The marine cage aquatic water temperature monitoring device of the present invention, in addition to the temperature sensor 61 and the acquisition module 62, the circuit unit 6 also includes the wireless communication module 63. After the temperature sensor 61 senses the water temperature signal and the acquisition module 62 acquires the water temperature signal sensed by the temperature sensor 61, the wireless communication module 63 can transmit the water temperature signal and store and record the data through the platform end. In this way, there is no need to manually take a boat into the sea at regular intervals to record the water temperature data, which greatly improves the convenience of use. The platform end can also analyze the data to improve the application value of the data and the accuracy of monitoring.

[0029] Furthermore, the present invention's marine cage aquaculture water temperature monitoring device incorporates a solar panel 4 mounted on the floating tank 1. Solar panel 4 converts light energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in battery 5 to power the circuit unit 6. The installation of solar panel 4 effectively utilizes the abundant, unobstructed sunlight available at sea, improving the utilization rate of natural energy. Furthermore, the unlimited power supply provided by solar panel 4 eliminates the need for battery replacement or electrical wiring in the circuit unit 6, significantly simplifying the structure and improving operational convenience while effectively addressing the difficulty of obtaining electrical power at sea.
