[0003] Existing technologies include buoy velocity measurement in hydrological surveys. By deploying buoys in the water flow and observing the time it takes for the buoys to move over a certain distance, the flow velocity can be calculated. However, traditional buoys have a simple structure and poor visibility at night, making it difficult to observe and identify the buoy's position when there is insufficient light at night, which brings inconvenience to nighttime water surface velocity measurement.

[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the above and / or existing hydrological survey buoys, this utility model is proposed.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hydrological survey buoy that, through the combined use of fluorescent agents and illumination rings, can significantly improve the visibility of the buoy under nighttime conditions during the process of buoy velocity measurement in hydrological surveys.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the hydrological survey buoy described in this utility model, the side wall of the positioning block is provided with a hook, and the hook is provided with a hanging hole.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the hydrological survey buoy described in this utility model, the top of the light box is provided with a light button, and the light button is electrically connected to the lighting ring.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the hydrological survey buoy described in this utility model, three inclined support frames are provided, and the three inclined support frames are evenly distributed.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the hydrological survey buoy described in this utility model, the top of the light box is provided with a cover plate.

[0026] This utility model provides a hydrological survey buoy. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4The system includes a buoy body 100 and a light box 200. A positioning block 110 and a transparent column 120 are fixedly installed on the top of the buoy body 100. A diagonal support frame 130 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the positioning block 110, with one end of the diagonal support frame 130 connected to the side wall of the transparent column 120. The light box 200 is fixedly installed on the top of the transparent column 120. An illumination ring 210 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the light box 200. A fluorescent agent 220 is embedded in the transparent column 120. A storage battery 230 is fixedly installed inside the light box 200, and the storage battery 230 is electrically connected to the illumination ring 210. Specifically, the buoy body 100 is deployed onto the water surface... By observing the movement time of the buoy over a certain distance, the flow velocity can be calculated. The operation of the positioning block 110 and the inclined support frame 130 facilitates the provision of support force to the side wall of the transparent column 120, thereby improving the stability of the transparent column 120. The light box 200 facilitates the installation of the lighting ring 210, and the battery 230 facilitates the power supply of the lighting ring 210. The light emitted by the lighting ring 210 passes through the transparent column 120 and shines on the fluorescent agent 220, causing the fluorescent agent 220 to absorb the energy in the light and emit fluorescence. By working with the lighting ring 210, the buoy body 100 can be clearly seen at night.

[0027] A warning strip 400 is provided on the side wall of the buoy body 100. The warning strip 400 is adhered to the side wall of the buoy body 100. Specifically, the warning strip 400 helps to increase the warning effect of the buoy body 100 and makes it easier for personnel to see.

[0028] The side wall of the positioning block 110 is provided with a hook, and the hook is provided with a hanging hole. Specifically, the hanging hole facilitates connection with a rope, and then to other stable structures, so as to keep the buoy body 100 in a predetermined position.

[0029] The top of the light box 200 is equipped with a light button, which is electrically connected to the lighting ring 210. Specifically, the light button makes it easy to turn on the lighting ring 210, making it convenient to operate.

[0030] There are three inclined support frames 130, which are evenly distributed to facilitate three-point positioning support and improve the connection stability between the transparent column 120 and the buoy body 100.

[0031] The top of the light box 200 is equipped with a cover plate, which allows the light box 200 to be opened easily for battery replacement.

[0032] Combination Figures 1-4The specific usage process of a hydrological survey buoy in this embodiment is as follows: During the process of using the buoy for nighttime water surface velocity measurement in hydrological surveys, the illumination ring 210 is turned on using the light button. The light emitted by the illumination ring 210 passes through the transparent column 120 and shines on the fluorescent agent 220, causing the fluorescent agent 220 to absorb the energy in the light and emit fluorescence. Through the combined use of the fluorescent agent 220 and the illumination ring 210, the visibility of the buoy body 100 under nighttime conditions can be significantly improved, making it easier to observe and identify the buoy's position at night. The buoy body 100 is then deployed on the water surface, and the movement time of the buoy within a certain distance is observed, thereby calculating the current velocity. This facilitates water surface velocity measurement work at night and improves the accuracy of the measurement.

[0033] Figures 3-4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a second embodiment of the hydrological survey buoy of this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 3-4 Unlike the above-described embodiments, the buoy body 100 has several float plates 300 on its four sides. The float plates 300 are symmetrically arranged on the side walls of the buoy body 100. Specifically, the float plates 300 can increase the buoyancy of the buoy body 100, which helps to improve the stability of the buoy body 100 in the water, making it less likely to be submerged and ensuring the smooth operation of water flow velocity measurement.
