Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water quality monitoring technology, specifically to a water environment monitoring buoy. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development and population growth, environmental pollution problems have also emerged, with river pollution being particularly prominent. To monitor water quality, water environment monitoring buoys are typically installed on the water surface.

[0003] However, existing environmental monitoring buoys generally adopt an integrated structure design. Depending on the buoyancy requirements and application scenarios, the buoy bodies vary greatly. Furthermore, depending on the type and number of water quality sensors, the sensor installation space is relatively fixed, making expansion difficult. Depending on the buoyancy and monitoring parameters, a single buoy product design is often only suitable for certain scenarios, greatly limiting its applicability.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a water environment monitoring buoy. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a water environment monitoring buoy that can meet the requirements for different buoyancy and monitoring parameters, increasing the flexibility of the buoy's application scenarios.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] A water environment monitoring buoy includes a floating platform, an electrical unit, and a monitoring component. The floating platform includes a collision-resistant base, and the upper surface of the collision-resistant base is provided with a triangularly arranged mounting bracket. An anchoring component is installed at each corner of the mounting bracket. The electrical unit is mounted on the mounting bracket and is used to power the monitoring component.

[0008] The monitoring component is installed on the lower surface of the anti-collision base. The monitoring component includes several floats and sensor units evenly arranged on the lower surface of the anti-collision base. The lower surface of the anti-collision base is provided with several mounting holes. The floats are arranged in a ring shape and connected to the mounting holes on the lower surface of the anti-collision base. The anti-collision base is provided with several through holes. The sensor units pass through the inner ring of the floats and are installed in the through holes. The number of sensor units is adapted to the number of floats.

[0009] Preferably, the sensor unit is covered with a protective cover, and the protective cover has several through holes for liquid to pass through.

[0010] Preferably, the protective cover is provided with a counterweight at the bottom.

[0011] Preferably, the electrical unit includes a waterproof electrical box and a photovoltaic panel. The waterproof electrical box contains a power supply and a main controller. The power supply and the main controller are electrically connected to the sensor unit. The photovoltaic panel is electrically connected to the power supply and the main controller and is used to supply power to the power supply and the main controller.

[0012] Preferably, the electrical unit further includes a warning light, which is electrically connected to the power supply and the main controller to indicate the location.

[0013] Preferably, the electrical unit includes a weather sensor, which is electrically connected to the power supply and the main controller.

[0014] Preferably, a four-corner mast bracket is mounted on the mounting bracket, and the electrical unit is mounted on the four-corner mast bracket and located on the central axis of the mounting bracket.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] The proposed solution features a triangular mounting bracket on the anti-collision base. Anchoring components are installed at the corners, providing excellent resistance to external impacts and stable support for the electrical unit. The monitoring components can be installed according to different buoyancy and monitoring parameter requirements. For example, the bottom of the anti-collision base has several mounting holes to facilitate the installation of at least one float in different situations. A set of sensor units can pass through the inner ring of a single float and be installed in the through-hole of the anti-collision base. The sensor units can be added or removed within the through-hole as needed, adjusting the number of sensors without removing the entire buoy from the water. Furthermore, depending on the monitoring task, the components can be freely combined, adding at least one float and a set of sensor units to meet different buoyancy and monitoring parameter requirements, increasing the flexibility of the buoy's application scenarios.

The anti-collision base 11 is provided with several through holes 111. The sensor units 32 pass through the inner ring of the floats 31 and are installed in the through holes 111. The number of sensor units 32 is adapted to the number of floats 31.

[0026] In this embodiment, the float is made of a highly elastic polyurea elastomer material.

[0027] Working principle: The anti-collision base 11 is equipped with a triangular mounting bracket 12. Anchoring components 13 are installed at the corners, which provides excellent resistance to external impacts and stable support for the electrical unit. The monitoring component 3 can be installed according to different buoyancy and monitoring parameter requirements. For example, the bottom of the anti-collision base 11 has several mounting holes to facilitate the installation of at least one float 31 for different situations. Similarly, a set of sensor units 32 can pass through the inner ring of a float 31 and be installed in the through hole 111 of the anti-collision base 11. The sensor units 32 can be disassembled and assembled in the through hole as needed to increase or decrease the number of sensors in the unit without the entire buoy leaving the water. In addition, according to the monitoring task, they can be freely combined to add at least one float 31 and a set of sensor units 32 to meet different buoyancy and monitoring parameter requirements, increasing the flexibility of the buoy's use scenarios.

[0028] In this embodiment, the sensor unit 32 is covered with a protective cover 33. The protective cover 33 has several through holes for liquid to pass through. The protective cover 33 is made of stainless steel. While providing protection, when the sensor unit 32 needs to be replaced or the number of units needs to be changed, it can be directly removed from the through holes without having to remove the float from the water.

[0029] In this embodiment, a counterweight is provided at the bottom of the protective cover 33. The counterweight is not shown in the figure. The weight and volume of the counterweight are determined according to the actual monitoring requirements.
