Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Marine buoys are a modern observation tool that can be placed at designated locations in the ocean or drift with the current. They can collect and monitor data on ocean environmental changes, seawater substances, and temperature in real time. Together with satellites, survey ships, submersibles and other detection equipment, they form the main marine environment inspection and monitoring system in this case. Due to the harsh marine environment in which the buoys are located, the low-power consumption principle must be strictly adopted in the buoy design, but its power consumption is still considerable.

[0003] For example, the authorization announcement number "CN211617997U" is named as a marine buoy. By setting guardrails, buoyancy plates and rotating plates, etc., it achieves power supply by two power generation methods: solar power generation and wave power generation, avoiding the buoy from being unable to observe normally in bad weather, and solving the problem that most marine buoys currently use solar power generation. However, the existing marine buoys are placed in the sea and float on the sea surface by the buoy's own buoyancy, but the base of the marine buoy is submerged in the sea water. There are many creatures living in the ocean, including many shellfish that will attach to objects to live. The buoy submerged in the sea is a good attachment, but shellfish are gregarious creatures and will accumulate one by one and attach to the bottom of the marine buoy base. Over time, the shellfish become thicker and thicker, greatly increasing the weight of the marine buoy itself. Finally, when the weight of the marine buoy exceeds the buoyancy limit, it will sink into the sea. Therefore, the working effect of the existing marine buoy is easily affected by shells.

[0004] At the same time, the existing offshore buoys need to be set up in the ocean and float with the waves. However, the wind and waves at sea are very strong, and the salt and humidity of the air in the ocean are also very high. Therefore, the sea breeze is relatively corrosive to the offshore buoys made of metal. Over time, the outer shell of the offshore buoy is prone to weathering and cracking, which affects the service life of the offshore buoy. Utility Model Content

The hollow groove 42 is excavated inside the buoy base 1. The lower end of the hollow groove 42 is provided with a rubber sealing layer to prevent seawater from flowing back. A motor 43 is fixedly installed inside the hollow groove 42. The motor 43 is a servo motor. When selecting a servo motor, you can choose a motor model that can meet the use requirements. The lower end of the output shaft of the motor 43 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 44.

[0026] When the buoy base 1 is powered on at intervals, the motor 43 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 43 can drive the lower end rotating rod 44 to rotate. The rotating rotating rod 44 can drive the two horizontally arranged arc plates 45 below to rotate. The rotating rod 44 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the buoy base 1. Two arc plates 45 are fixedly connected below the rotating rod 44. A scraper 46 is fixedly installed on the top of the two arc plates 45. The scraper 46 is made of metal steel. The blade of the scraper 46 fits the buoy base 1. In this way, the rotating scraper 46 can scrape and clean the shells adhered to the buoy base 1. A heat dissipation hole 41 is fixedly opened at the top of the empty slot 42. The heat dissipation hole 41 is opened in several circular holes at the top of the empty slot 42, which can have a heat dissipation effect on the operation of the motor 43.

[0027] A groove 42 is dug inside the buoy base 1, and a rubber sealing layer is provided at the bottom of the groove 42 to prevent seawater from flowing back. When the buoy base 1 is powered on at intervals, the motor 43 is started.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] When using a sea buoy, the sea buoy body is first transported to the sea surface by a ship, and then the sea buoy is sent into the sea water using a lifting device. The sea buoy will float on the sea surface due to its own buoyancy, and then the iron chain at the lower end can pull the fixed anchor 72 vertically into the sea for fixation, which can effectively prevent the sea buoy from drifting with the waves.

[0034] Shell removal structure for offshore buoys:

[0035] A slot 42 is excavated inside the buoy base 1. A rubber sealing layer is provided at the bottom of the slot 42 to prevent seawater from flowing back. The buoy base 1 is powered on at regular intervals to start the motor 43. The output shaft of the motor 43 drives the lower end rotating rod 44 to rotate. The rotating rotating rod 44 drives the two horizontally arranged arc plates 45 below to rotate. The scraper 46 is made of metal steel. The blade of the scraper 46 fits the buoy base 1. The rotating scraper 46 can scrape and clean the shells adhering to the buoy base 1, thereby regularly removing shells from the bottom of the buoy.

[0036] Anti-sea wind erosion structure of offshore buoys:

[0037] It is welded to the top of the buoy base 1 through a fixing plate 51, and multiple pillars 52 are welded equidistantly on the circumference of the fixing plate 51. The enclosure 53 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy material. The enclosure 53 connects the tops of multiple pillars 52 to form an annular fence space, which is convenient for operators to enter the top of the buoy for operation. The inclined frame 54 is made of metal steel. The inclined frame 54 will put the wind shield 55 on the outside of the vertical pole 3, so the wind shield 55 can reduce the direct blowing of sea breeze on the circuit structure such as the battery inside the offshore buoy vertical pole 3. The wind shield 55 is made of an annular stainless steel alloy, which can effectively prevent weathering and erosion.

The fixed anchor 72 is made of solid metal iron with a relatively large weight. The fixed anchor 72 is vertically inserted into the sea by the iron chain 71, and can play a role in positioning the marine buoy. Wave power generation equipment 9 is fixedly connected to both sides of the lower side of the outer wall of the floating plate 2. The wave power generation equipment 9 is a prior art disclosed in the comparative document authorization announcement number "CN211617997U" and is named "a marine buoy longitudinal".
