Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterway boundary markers, specifically to a waterway boundary marker. Background Technology

[0002] Waterway boundary markers are floating navigational aids anchored in specific locations to indicate the extent of a waterway, signal shoals, obstacles, or other special-purpose navigational aids. Their primary function is to mark shoals or obstacles that endanger navigation, ensuring safe passage. They come in various colors, including yellow, white, red, and gray. Different colors represent different meanings; for example, red may indicate a prohibited or dangerous area, green a safe waterway, and yellow a warning area. By indicating the extent of waterways and obstacles, boundary markers provide vital navigational information to vessel operators, helping to avoid collisions and groundings. They improve waterway connectivity and safety, enhancing water traffic order and public safety.

[0003] Existing technology CN116353769A provides an intelligent navigation indicator beacon. To address the issue of floating navigation buoys connected to the bottom of the channel by steel cables, whose positions are often affected by water level and cable tension, resulting in some degree of displacement, this technology incorporates remote control functionality. This allows the navigation indicator beacon to move autonomously and adjust the cable tension according to water level, ensuring it remains in the designated position. However, most existing indicator beacons are solar-powered. In situations with continuous lack of sunlight, insufficient power can easily lead to the indicator lights failing to illuminate, affecting the navigation of vessels.

[0004] Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a waterway boundary marker to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0036] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.

[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0038] It is understood that spatial relation terms such as "below," "under," "below," "below," "above," "above," etc., can be used here to describe the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figure and other elements or features. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial relation terms also include different orientations of the device in use and operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, the element or feature described as "below" or "below" of the other element or feature will be oriented "above" the other element or feature. Therefore, the exemplary terms "below" and "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. Furthermore, the device may also include other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatial descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0039] It should be noted that when one element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or connected to the other element through an intermediary element. In the following embodiments, "connection" should be understood as "electrical connection," "communication connection," etc., if the connected circuits, modules, units, etc., have the transmission of electrical signals or data between them.

[0040] When used herein, the singular forms of “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated feature, whole, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a waterway boundary marker includes a float 1, a support cylinder 2, and a generator 3. The float 1 has a main support block 11, and at least one secondary support block 12 is connected to the main support block 11. The support cylinder 2 is connected to the main support block 11. The generator 3 includes a buoyancy drive component 31, a traction rope 32, and a generator 33. The buoyancy drive component 31 is rotatably connected to the secondary support block 12. One end of the traction rope 32 is connected to the buoyancy drive component 31. The generator 33 is connected inside the support cylinder 2, and the other end of the traction rope 32 is connected to the generator 33.

[0042] In this embodiment, the device is placed in water, with the float 1 afloat on the surface. When waves are present, the buoyancy drive 31 moves, thereby moving the traction rope 32, which in turn drives the generator 33 to generate electricity. Therefore, this device can generate electricity even without sunlight, driven by the waves. This effectively solves the problem in existing technologies where insufficient power can easily occur and the indicator light will not illuminate when there is continuous lack of sunlight.

[0043] In addition, since both solar and wind power generation are effective technologies in this field, it is also a conventional setup to install solar panels and wind power generation devices on this device according to actual needs, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0044] In some embodiments, the buoyancy drive 31 includes a float 311 and a float rod 312. The float 311 is fixedly connected to the traction rope 32. One end of the float rod 312 is connected to the float 311, and the other end of the float rod 312 is rotatably connected to the auxiliary support block 12.

[0045] In this embodiment, the float 311 floats on the water surface. When there are waves, the float 311 floats on the water surface, thereby driving the float 312 to rotate on the secondary support block 12, thereby driving the traction rope 32 to move, and then the traction rope 32 drives the generator 33 to rotate.

[0046] In some embodiments, the power generation device 3 includes a first limiting member 34, which includes a first support block group 341 and a first limiting wheel 342. The first support block group 341 is correspondingly arranged with the sub-support block 12, and the first support block group 341 is connected to the sub-support block 12. There are two first limiting wheels 342, which are arranged vertically and are rotatably connected to the first support block group 341. The traction rope 32 is located between the two vertically arranged first limiting wheels 342.

[0047] In this embodiment, to avoid friction between the traction rope 32 and the secondary support block 12, a first support block group 341 is connected to the secondary support block 12. The traction rope 32 is positioned between two first limiting wheels 342 arranged vertically, which can effectively limit the traction rope 32.

[0048] In some embodiments, the support cylinder 2 includes a support column 21 and a main cylinder 22. The support column 21 is provided at least one and is connected to the main support block 11. The main cylinder 22 is connected to the support column 21. The main cylinder 22 is provided with a first chamber 221 and a second chamber 222. The traction rope 32 passes through the bottom of the main cylinder 22 and passes through the first chamber 221 into the second chamber 222.

[0049] In this embodiment, a first chamber 221 and a second chamber 222 are provided inside the main cylinder 22. This prevents water from directly flowing into the second chamber 222. Furthermore, to further ensure sealing, a wear-resistant seal is provided where the traction rope 32 passes through the main cylinder 22, which should also fall within the scope of this application.

[0050] In some embodiments, the generator 33 has a body and a wheel, the body of the generator 33 is fixed in the second chamber 222, and the wheel of the generator 33 is connected to the traction rope 32.

[0051] In some embodiments, the system further includes a take-up roller 35, which has a fixed end and a rotating end. The fixed end of the take-up roller 35 is fixed in the second chamber 222, and the rotating end of the take-up roller 35 is connected to the rotor of the generator 33.

[0052] In this embodiment, by connecting a take-up roller 35 to the rotating end of the generator 33, the take-up roller 35 can generate a certain tension on the traction rope 32. This ensures that the generator 33 can continuously generate electrical energy under the drive of the traction rope 32.

[0053] In some embodiments, the power generation component 3 includes a second limiting component 36, which includes a second support block assembly 361 and a second limiting wheel 362. The second support block assembly 361 is connected to the bottom of the main cylinder 22. The second limiting wheel 362 is rotatably connected to the second support block assembly 361, and the traction rope 32 abuts against the second limiting wheel 362.

[0054] In this embodiment, the traction rope 32 needs to bend 90° when passing through the bottom of the main cylinder 22. Therefore, by setting a second limiting wheel 362, the bending can be completed after the traction rope 32 comes into contact with the second limiting wheel 362.

[0055] In some embodiments, the power generation device 3 includes a third limiting member 37, which includes a third support block group 371 and a third limiting wheel 372. The third support block group 371 is connected to the first chamber 221. The third limiting wheel 372 is rotatably connected to the third support block group 371, and the traction rope 32 abuts against the third limiting wheel 372.

[0056] In this embodiment, the traction rope 32 is brought into contact with the third limiting wheel 372, which can effectively ensure the verticality of the traction rope 32 as it enters the first chamber 221 from the bottom of the main cylinder 22 and as it enters the second chamber 222 from the first chamber 221.

[0057] In some embodiments, the system further includes a navigation light component 4, which includes a lamp holder 41, a battery 42, a lamp body 43, and a lamp cover 44. The lamp holder 41 is connected to the top of the support cylinder 2; the battery 42 is connected to the lamp holder 41 and is electrically connected to the generator 33; the lamp body 43 is connected to the lamp holder 41 and is electrically connected to the battery 42; and the lamp cover 44 is connected to the lamp holder 41, with a rotating connecting column 45 at the top.

[0058] In this embodiment, a line is connected between the generator 33 and the battery 42 to charge the battery 42.

[0059] In some embodiments, a cleaning component 5 is further included, which includes an annular seat 51, a rotating connecting rod 52, and a rotating blade 53. The annular seat 51 is rotatably connected to the lamp holder 41. The rotating connecting rod 52 is L-shaped, with one end rotatably connected to the rotating connecting post 45 and the other end fixedly connected to the annular seat 51. The inner side of the rotating connecting rod 52 is provided with bristles, which clean the lamp cover 44 during rotation. The rotating blade 53 is connected to the rotating connecting rod 52.

[0060] In this embodiment, since the lampshade 44 may become dirty during use, brush bristles are provided on the side of the rotating connecting rod 52 that contacts the lampshade 44. When waves appear on the water surface, the rotating blade 53 will shake, thereby driving the rotating connecting rod 52 to rotate, thus cleaning the lampshade 44.

[0061] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0062] This device is placed in water, with the float hovering on the surface. When waves are present, the buoyancy-driven components move, which in turn moves the traction rope, which in turn drives the generator to produce electricity. Therefore, this device can generate electricity even without sunlight, driven by the waves. This effectively solves the problem of existing technologies easily running out of power and causing indicator lights to fail when there is continuous lack of sunlight.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
